We are by no means without q
sense OF appreciation of the grim
humor which characterixes current
politics. Denis Kearney is an eplt-
ONE Of all that Shakespeare or Mo-
liere ever dreamt of in the comedy
line. At tho Sand Lots Sunday
last he told his followers, in sub
stance, that If the ticket he had put
up didn't suit them all they had to
do was to say 80 and he would give
them better. This attitude of the
present King Of California reminds
Us Of the story of hackneyed poll
ticlan in the East. Having made
an exhaustive and exhausting
speech on the issues Of the day, lie
could not fail to remark that his
audience had not shown any enthu-
slasm. Suspendlng the tumuItuous
flow Of his periods, and looking
thoughtfully upon his hearers, he
exclaimed, Gentlemen, them's
my sentiments; but, If they don't
suit you, can change 'em." Kear.
ney is evidently characterized by
an equal versatility and compli-
ance.

How a "Generar' Was Lost.
Private Dalzell.s Confessions. !

Private Dalzell's Confessional
In response to q question as to
whether he had never risen above
the rank Of private while in the
army, he answered. II might have
done SO. but it WAS my Internal let
ter writing that ruined me. l con-
tinually wrote for the newspapers,
and many OF my letters found their
way through the press back to the
army. Well, some General would
see them. They would please hi m
and he would take me from my
company and make me his clerk.
After o month or two would grav-
itate back to the ranks; when in
several weeks I was picked by
some new admirer and again made
u clerk. II 1 had stayed in the
ranks 1 might have risen to some
higher command, but this chang
ing about prevented it. Two Of my
classmates-McCullum and Beer
aud myself entered into q fighting
contract. They both rose from
privates to Generals. I remained a
private. As to my being called
Private Dalzell, l signed all my let
tiers, James NJ DaIzell, Private,
Company HI, One Hundred ami
Sixteenth Obio. Tue editors alb
breviated it to Private DalzelI, and
after the war 1 adopted the name.
l do not want the people to think
am an egotist."

WHILE it Is true that elections
for Presidents are rarely thrown
into the House of Representatives
such thing is liable to occur at
any time. Especially is II impor-
tant to look forward to such con-
juncture when the House of Rep
resentatives which, Ia such cases,
votes by States, is exactly balanced
between the two great national
parties, as now. The vote of Cali
fornia is the one vote which would
make a Democratic or Republican
President should the election GO to
the House. 1t was an individual
named Smith. q delegate from Mis-
souri,, who made John Quincy
Adams President of the United

An official report from Sumatra
states that frequent disturbances of
telegraphic Communication are
caused in that island by elephants.
During the three years 1858 there
have been sixty serious interrup.
tions traceable to this cause. AS
an instance, the report says: "On
May 25, 1875, the Mnara-Dura-La La
hat line was completely destroyed
for length Of three pauls. and the
wires and insulators were hidden
away In a cane thicket. All the
repairs executed during the day
were regularly destroyed at night,
and this for three nights running.i
Besides the systematic hostility of
the elephants, the numerous tigers,
bears and white buffaloes make it
both difficult and dangerous to keep
an efficient watch on the telegraph
lines where they pass through
thick jungle. Both the greater
apes and the little monkeys seem
to regard the lines as set up for the
purpose of affording them the or
portunity of practicing special GYM
nastic exercises, swinging from the
wires, breaking them and carrying
off the insulators.
