The Times Review considers the nOmi-
nation of Judge Field for the Presi-
dency wild proposition. That journal
does not oppose him for the reasons as
signed by the lawyers, that he IS
welded to corporations, but because he
decided the Chinese cue ordinance to
be unconstitutional. That the SnvEE
STATE ever has been opposed to Chinese
immigration it IS unnecessary to remind
it's readers, but Judge Fields decision,
which he well knew was unpopular,
shows that he is no dernagogue, and
will not drag She judicial errnine in the
mre to please the masses.

The London Telegraph deprecates the
multiplication of clubs, and remarks.
"Time was when the most natural
pleasure of young man of education
consisted in the society of cultivated
and refined ladies'" 1t does not seem
to have occurred to the Telegraph that
possibly ladies of education might then
have cared for the society of cultivated
and refined gentlemen - gentlemen
whom they would now pronounce 'too
slow for anything"

General Sherman says it is inmate
rial to him who, is. the next President.
Grant does not want it. Ne adds:
''We correspond, and I know he wants
to get into business, SO as to be able to
make money. He woalG like to have
the Presidency of railroad company,
or something Of that sort" - If Grants
desire is simply to make money, we
would suggest to Mr.. Sherman that he
ought to. resign his office in favor Of
Grant. There are millions in it for a
shrewd financier.

An ancient burial ground is being ex-
cavated by local Literary society at
Madisonville, Ohio. Many human
bones and stone implements have been
found, but the strangest discovery is
that of about four bushels of corn,
thoroughly carbonized, but retaining it's
original appearance, except in color.
The conjecture is that it was put there
as part Of an Indian burial rite.

A new feature in London society is
the employment of paid amateur per-
formers at private entertainments.
"You go to one house" says "a.
monthly magazine" and listen to
young man pleasantly warbling at the
piano to hushed crowd, and your
hostess tells you in a whisper that he is
very much in request, and that she
pays him ten guineas for his three
songs. The next evening you are at
dinner, and there, opposite you, is the
young man, whom in the simplicity OF
your heart You regarded as an ordinary
professional vocalist, and you find that
he is an officer retired from service,
and the nephew of bishop. AT
third house you meet medieval de-
signer; at fourth a comic entertainer;
at fifth, a reader at a sixth, an anna
teur actor, and so on-all young men
of the most irreproachahle connections,
all in society and all who receive
payment in solid cash for their ser
vices -

The Paradise Reporter is of the opin-
ion "that if Grant and Kearney were
both hanged, not in sthgy but in reali-
ty. the world would be none the worse
off,. 1t Is greatly to be hoped that
General Grant will not see the Repor-
ter which contains the above opinion.
as it would make him feel very badly.
AS for kearney,, his sensibilities are
blunted and he is incapable of appre-
eiating the dangers which he incurs
from the expression of such an opinion.
