Some excitement has been created
in Pittsburgh by the discovery of an
alligator nine feet long in the pool
i'll the Monongahela river, between
the Smithfeld street and Point
Bridges. The most plausible theory
as to how the monster got so far from
home is that some time ago, not de-
finitcly stated, u box containing a
live alligator was in transitu by
wagon, and when the vehicle was
being driven on the ferry-boat at the
mouth Of Penn street an accident oc-
Cured by which the box was bursted
and the contents wrigglcd into the
stream. Boys who have beonin the
habit of swimming in that vicinity
have selected other localities.

The Topeka (Kausas) Common
pealh, Republican newspaper, de-
nounces as swindie a circular
which has been sent out from that
city, purportiDg to be from the office
Of the 'Colored Colonization Society,
and largely distributed throughout
certain Southern localities, in which
it is claimed that the society, which
.1sympathizes with their colored
brethren of the South, has been or
ganized by the Government to pro-
vide land for each head of a family,
which will be given in bodies of 100
acres, Kansas, gratuitOusly." The
Commonwealth says, the Oply object
10 sending such document South
was to make money for the senders
out of their ignorant victims, and
learns that 10 St. Louis some OF the

already succeeded in getting amounts
from the colored emigrants as fees

HARPER's Weekly deals a harsh
blow at General Grants candidacy
for President in 1880. 1t says =
"lf the country must have General
Grant in 1850, not because he is be
lieved to be wise magistrate, but
because he is strong man, it must
have him for the same reason in
1884, and as long as he lives. 1t is
an argument that proves too much.
To assert that he is the sole distinc
tive representative of Republican
principles is to insult Republican in
teligence. His nomination
would chill sincere part of the OPP
position to the Democrats, would be
accepted with doubt and regret by
another part, and would be really
welcome only to third part" Yet
MIR. Curtis and the two unwilling
Republican factions of which he
writes will be forced to accept Grant,
and Mr.. Curtis will doubtless be
found next year writing as gracefully
10 support of the strong man" as he
is now in opposition to Grants noml-
nation. Grant is the most available
of all the aspirants.

Senator Wallace, in his speech
puts the case in a nut she'll when he
says the people want free elections,
without the shadow or substance of
military power, whether State or
National. The very idea of upon
which our independence rests, is
outraged by the presence, in re-
strictive capacity, of soldiers at a
voting place. In what number they
appear matters not. Everything
savoripg of armed interference with
the free expression of the opinion OF
any qualified voter is unwaranted.
The civil authorities are amply able
to preserve the purity of the ballot
box.

badly bit; old field plums thinned
