SENATOR THURMAE's rcd silk bard
kerchief, which figured so cOnspicuousIy

In view of the asslduity OF his attan-
ton to tho subject of Grant, "A the Re-
publican Presidential candidate in 1880,
we presume Mr.. Murst Halstesd would
have no objection TO putting himself on
the record. We therefore offer him ri
opportunity as follows: Suppose Grant
should be the candidate of the regular
Republican convention, Gen. Butler the
candidate o. the National party and Sen
stor Thurman the Democratic candidate,
which would receive the support Of Mr..
Hslstead and his newspaper ? Hash'Hg-
ton Post.
Suppose you do ask this question, and
suppose Mr.. Hslstesd should answer it.
would not the latter supposition place
him upon the record rs dsmphool?

MRS. jerks is the most marvellous
woman who has appeared in Washington
since the days of Ann Royal. She threw
such shadow over Butler and the big
member of the Potter Committee last
Saturday that they really looked like
midgets. Then, alter five hours of con-
tinuous -whsCking she informed the
weary and exhausted committee that she
was as fresh as daisy and ready to 60
on for the remainder OF the summer
Mrs. jerks seems to be about the best
man identified with this Administration.
She is evidently special case" She
shoul1 be provided with place where
the climate is sslubrious. Baltimore
