Classical Puns.

They were on the march towards Capua
20 meet the revolted Latin tribes, those
wicked people who talked in six cases
and more exceptions than conjunctions,
and who we're named after the Latin
grammar, when the Consul, Manlius
Torouatus, remarked to his colleague !:
al should hate to marry girl whose
father is dead, because my lungs aren't
very good, anyhow, and 1 would have
to asth- ma for her." :.
and you think you'd need the old
mans influenzy, hey?" replied Decius.
"Oh, as to that" said Manlius, L
,vouldn't need it 40 very lung"
No, rejoined the friend, "but you
wouldn't want to throat away, for all
that"

This Queen, in spite of the represen-
tations of SO many historians, was a
wanton in morals, heartless, cruel, and
ugly in person. In her 81 year
she was thus described: Her face
oblong, fair, but wrinkled; her eyes
small but black and pleasant; her nose
little hooked; her lips narrow, and
her teeth black; she wore false red hair
her bosom uncovered" Yet was this
woman vain to the last degree and sus-
ceptible to fattery, as the following in
stance will show: When the States of
Holland sent q splendid embassy to her,
during the first audience, one of the
Ambassadors suite said to an English
gentleman that he could not under
stand why people spoke with such in
difference of the Queens beauty; that
they did her great injustice; that he
thought her very charming, and should
be happy in having so fine a woman for
his wife. The Queen, who had her
eyes fixed upon the whole suite, when
the audience WIS over, sent for the
English gentleman and commanded
him, under pain of displeasure, to tell
The gentleman endeavored to excuse
himself on the plea that the converse
ton was very trifiing; the Queen, how
ever, was determined to know what the
discourse was, upon which he told her
what had been said. The conclusion of
the matter was that the Ambassadors
were presented each with chain of
gold of 800 crowns each; but the gal
liant Dutchman, who had found the
Queen SO very handsome, had chain
of 1000 crowns value, which, it is SAID
Mynheer wore to the day of his death.

"Laugh and Grow Fat"

This ancient bit of advice is we'll enough for
spare people, but how about those that are
already too fat? What is to become Of them?
Sit still, and I'll tell you. After many expert
ments, extending through months of patient in
vestigation and toll, the celebrated analytical
chemist, j. G. Allan, has perfected and gwen to
the world Adams Anti-Fat Thus far in several
hundred cases this great remedy has never
failed to reduce corpulent person from three
to six pounds per week. 1t is perfectly HARM
less and positively efficient Sold by druggists.

Indeed not" said Manlius, "that
would be no choke"
"No, there's no inspiration in it."
The Consul made one or two ineffect-
ual efforts to get in something on the
bronchial tubes, but failed ignominously,
and Decius, laughing at his failure,
mockingly sang, Tommy, make room
for your uncle" It is thought that this
had something to do with Decius' death
the following day.-Biwdette.

Comfort.

The most essential item to people visiting
Chicago is comfortable hotel accommodations
The FREMONT HOUSE, under the management
of the old and well-known landlord, JOHN A.
RICE, affords more solid comfort to the traveller,
at reasonable price, than any house in the city,
and you will find this a fact by making the
fremont your headquarters when you are in
Chicago.

FATAL SLEEP WITH RATTLEsNAKE.
GJacksboro Texas) Cor. st. Louis Globe Democrat.l
Miss Walker, aged 16, living with her
father, s. @. Walker, eight miles from
here, retired to bed and slept all night
with a tremendous rattlesnake, seven
feet long, which crept into the bed.
About daylight Miss Walker turned
upon her pillow, when the snake struck
her in the forehead with his fangs and
instantaneously coiled around her
throat. She screamed and tainted.
The snake was finally killed, but it is
believed Miss Walker cannot live.

One Of the most hopeful signs of our politics
is the growing Independence OF the voter So
long as large proportion OF our voting ele-
ment maintain their own freedom and the free
dom OF their ballots there Is no danger to the
Republic. The late election in New York was
fair test of the power OF the Independent voter
He was powerful In both parties and In all fac
lions. Cornell, man forced upon his party by
the machine, ran behind other candidates on
the ticket and was elected only by democratic
division. In the democratic party nearly 50, 900
voters cast their ballots for John Kelly bolter,
to overthrow the Tilden machine Many OF the
same men who voted for Kelly for the object
named, supported the Robinson local ticket in
New York county as protest against the des-
potic power OF Tammany. Taken all In all the
independent voters are the only ones who came
victorious out OF the New York election, and
unless they are consulted and respected they
will win grander victory next year.

Though Capt. Phelps has had to bear the
brunt OF the vast burden OF fault-fnding that
falls upon the shoulders of the chief, executive
officer in any community, especially where the
duties are so anomalous as here, 1t must be con-
ceded that he has shown administrative abIli-
ties OF high order-much higher than he has
been generally credited w1th-and that the
management of the finances of the District
during his term OF Office has been most credta-
BILE. Not many municipal officials leave posi-
ton after so long tenure of Office with so clear
a record. 1t is hoped that with the release
from the cares and responsibilities OF Office he
may be able to recover his health and resume
his residence in Washington to continue to pro-
mote the prosperity OF the city by his taste and
enterprise.

One OF the first official acts that Gov. Cornell
VIII be asked to perform upon assuming the
position to which he has been elected Will be to
remove Mayor Cooper, OF New York The enc
mics OF the mayor now acknowledge that
charges have been formulated and the papers
prepared for submission TO the new governor as
soon as he shall take his seat. Cooper is &C
cused Of usurpation and oppression In Office, In
having removed Police Commissioners Smith
and Nichols and County Clerk Gumbleton, with
out cause, and also with having neglected to
perform his duty In enforcing the street clean
ing ordinances, etc. Tammany is at the bot
TOM OF the movement, and IT Is whispered in
New York city that Gov. Cornell VIII not turn
oeaI ear to the appeal OF John Kelly for the
cnance at city patronage which the ousting O;
Cooper would afford him.

AS THE STAR has foreshadowed, the appoint
ment Of District Commissioner to succeed Captain
Phelps has been given to Major Morgan, the
present superintendent Of police. From the
sketch of Major Morgans career, given else
where it will be seen that he is a native OF this
District (Or of the 'Ten miles square, OF the
original Dtstrict), having a thorough identity
with District interests, an extensive acquaInt-
ance with the people Of the community, and a
large practical business knowledge to qualify
him for his new position. His appointment was
urged by a large number of our best citizens
and, as we have heretofore stated, we think II
viii be generally acceptable.

MIR. Davltt, one OF the Irish prisoners, is
charged with having uttered reasonable Ian

were:-''The manhood Of Ireland should spring
to Its feet and say it would tolerate landlords

lords against whom the words were aimed and
who are distinctly mentioned constitute the

A writer in Halls Journal of Healt
Committee of the first Episcopal Societ in New Town.

A writer in Halls Journal of Health says: I believe that unwarranted and monstrous errors are propagated by different writers, on the subject of food and drink. Each man has whim or hobby, so that 1t has at length come to the point that If man will live health fully to great age. say hundred and fifty or two hundred years, he must eat nothing but grapes and drink nothing but rain-water. The gentleman who advo- cates the grape diet contends that wheat bread ought not to be eaten-that it has to much earth in it, and tends to stiffen a mans joints and muscles half a century sooner than if he subsisted on grapes.
