SAYS the Chicago Tribune: ''The heal
thy example of Gov. Cullom, of this State,
in addressing commendatory letter to
President Hayes upon vetoing the Army
Appropriation bill, might appropriately be
followed by other Republican Governors all
over the North and Northwest The ques-
tions discussed in that message are as i'm
portant as any that have engrossed public at
tention since the close of the late Rebellion
and, indeed, they can truthfully be said to
be part and parcel of the Reconstruction
measures which the country found necessa-
ry to adopt and approve after that over
shadowing event. If the President and
the Republicans in Congress are right in
endeavoring to prevent the injudicous and
revolutionary legislation which the Confed-
crate Brigadiers and their Northern allies
are trying to enact, it is the obvious duty as
well as the privilege of every prominent and
influential person in the Republican party,
whether in public or private life, to let Mr..
Hayes and our friends who are at the front
in Washington know that they cordially
sympathize with them, and are ready to do
all in their power to sustain and uphold
them in the patriotic course upon which
they have entered"

An Arkansas magistrate showed an appre-
citation of the dangers threatening Southern
society by fining Rev. Allen Oats for carrying
a pistol. Gov Miller has nullifed this action
however by remitting the reverend offenders
fine on the ground that his life was in dam
GER and he had to carry the weapon as neces-
sity of self-preservation.

A Brazilian jaguar is loose in the woods
near York, Pa, and $500 reward is offered for
his capture dead or alive. The train CARRYING
the London circus stopped on turnout 80
miles from Washington, Pa, to let another
train pass, and tramp concealed on the car
opened the iaguars cage and set the fierce
animal at liberty. The mangled remains of a
man, victim of the iaguar's thirst for blood,
have already been found near York, and the
people of the vicinity are very much excited
over the danger that others may meet the same
fate.

indianapolis News: A bald-headed gentle
man stopped at the corner of Meriden and
Washington street, the other morning, where
sat an italian with cage containing three
canaries with the following placard placed
above them; Ladies' and gents take advan-
tage of the occasion of these birds which with
cents will select from the several boxes a
planet of the fortune which will tell you of
your past and future life; said planets are for
ALL" The baldheaded gentleman handed over
a nickel, little bird flew out, futtered over
the boxes moment and drew out an envelope
with its bill He read that he would travel
to the East and marry an Egyptian lady of
great wealth and beauty, who had long
secretly loved him, and who-."Here a
sweet smile was spreading over his coun-
tenance, when an elderly lady in smoked
spectacles, who had approached him from the.
rear, twisted the ferule of her umbrella be-
tween his fifth and sixth ribs and said: ''Why
haint you sent that wood UP, Jacob? Do you
suppose L can git dinner without as much as
splinter to burn in the stove?' and he answered
not, but meekly followed her.

Mr.. r. r. DALDY, a prominent London pub
Usher, hasreplied very favorably to the sugges-
tions of Harper & Brothers for an information
al copyright commission He says: ''Should
such commission be formed, hope it will
have large enough powers to enable it to en-
tertain the question of stage right and fine
art copyright as well as literary copyright;
in fact to treat of copyright in its widest
sense, as embracing the right to copy, print,
engrave, photograph, or in any way to null
tiply copies dramatize, abridge, translate,
represent, perform or deliver l hope also
it will be authorized to frame its report in
such shape that it could form the basis, as
you say of an international copyright treaty.
Such a climax would be most cordially well
coined In England, and l have no doubt it
would be received generally with equal IA
vor here. The British government have al
ready given evidence by appointing Royal
Commission, of their wish to put copyright
on sound and satisfactory footing, and l
think they will be much gratifed by any as
sstance proffered by the American govern
ment which will enable them to deal COM
pletely with the international branch of it,
THE Tribune thinks Ben Hill proved too
much the other day when he tried to show
why the representatives of the South in Con-
gress could be safely trusted with the care of
the Union. His logic was to the effect that
the loyalty of these men was sufficiently
proved by the fact that some of them had
opposed secession until secession was de-
creed. 1t is difficult to see how the Georgia
senator has improved the case. He has
simply reminded the country that the men
of the South hold their allegiance to their
State above their duty to their country, and
that when they were compelled to choose be-
tween the one and the other they foreswore
conscience, and yielded to a movement which
they knew to be wicked and reasonable.
What these men did then they would do
now, under the same circumstances, and
probably not one of them would deny it.
If there is a single Southener of prominence
who would not follow his State anywhere
she chose to go, even to-day, he has not
made himself conspicuous in recent years.
Mr.. Hill insists that the Union must be safe
with men who refused on one occasion to
betray their country, and actually persisted
in their refusal until they-gave way.

Detroit Post: "Why, Charles" she ex-
claimed in great surprise, "are you chewing
tobacco?" And Charles Tapped the quid care
fully under his tongue, and replied: "Why
no, dear; I've been out good deal to-day, and

good deal of complaining on the part Of

from which to choose; all OF which will

Let no one after this sale, say that he could
not buy good building lot in Wellsburg,

very desirable ones and on others there
are buildings that a small expense would
greatly improve. We have no doubt but
that they will rule low, though wC would
