General Hancock having declared in his

he will never favor anything that lnterfeies
" with the manufacturing interests OF the
county y; that there will b. just as much
"protection under a Democratic as under a
Republican Administration y; and that the
tariff is a local question anyhow. What does
he think of the Constitution itself! Is it any
thing more than a local charter? Was there
ever such twaddle known! We want every
voter who sees this Issue of The TRIBUNE TO
read this Paterson interview, and make up
his mind whether man who considers the
tariff question as merely local is fit to become
the first citizen of the United States.

The New-Jersey Democrats have had the
effrOntery to invade the sacred precincts OF
the bench. The leader of the party In Som
erset County, having been convicted OF EN-
bezzling So, 900 of county funds, to say moth
ing of other indictments and gTaring defaults,
escapes with fine owing to the partisan ac-
ton of two Democratic Judges. The pro-
ceedings of the court were travesty upon
justice, as there were absolutely no grounds
for mitigating the sentence The action OF
these two Democratic Judges shows how
Governor Mcclellan has succeeded in rendering
justice abortive by wre. ched judicial appoint

A New Peril to Bathers.
Philadelphia Times.

fhlladelphla Times.
Ladies who go down to the beach in
barefoot bathing suits now encounter
new peril. Impudent but presumably
interested young men follow along with
Il tape line and measure the length of
the footprints in the sand, and get ac-
curately the number of the precious
member. A dreadfully in love young
man went about the beach at Cape
May worshipping the dainty prints of
his sweetheart's little shoe, with its
French heel set in the middle of the
foot and SO near the toe that it was diff
ficult to conceive that there was any
space between them. He had fondly
measured these fairy-like footprints
time and again, and every test had
clearly proved the shoe to be not more
than two at most. This fond young
man wasn't content to let well enough
alone. He found his fairy on the way
to the surf one morning in a bathing
dress, and he outrageously measured
the footprints as they were made by
feet unadorned by the shoelnaker's art.
1t was a severe strain upon the tape
line. but he succeeded finally in getting
the measurement lengthwise and other
ways not wise, and was profoundly hor-
rified. He went over the ground half
a dozen times to assure himself there
could be no mistake, and every time
he found that he had the dimensions of
q fairy foot that could not possibly
have numbered less than seven and
gave strong indications of a right to be
called an eight. The poor young fellow
was not prepared for the dreadful
truth which thus fell upon him with
crushing effect. Shocking events like
this call loudly for the invention of
bathing slipper with heel somewhere
down near the toe.

THE employees of the postoffice depart

resolutions upon the retirement of Judge

Judge Tyner. in a brief speech, and re-

SOME time will clapse before a successor
to Gen. Myer, the late Chief of the s ignal
service, will be appointed, owing to the
controversy as to the exact status of the
bureau over which he had charge. The
great development of the science of me-
terology has introduced into the oEce
strictly military duties Of the army signal

civil and commercial character. An effort
will be made to separate the army signal
corps from this new outgrowth, and make
separate bureau for the meteorological
portion of the business.
GEN. MYER owned very handsome res

Connecticut avenue and H street. The
house was formerly occupied by Sir Ed

rented by John Chamberlain, and was con-
verted into a palace gambling establish

only broke many Washington politicians,
but John Chamberlain also, and the house
and its magnificent furniture were sold at

The Prince and the Gamblers Daughter


1t would appear that the vehement
opposition offered by the Bonaparte
family to the engagement contracted
some months ago by Prince Roland
Bonaparte and Mile. Blanc, principal
heiress to the enormous fortune
amassed by the late high priest of
rouge et-noir, has proved fruitless, and
that the wedding of the happy pair is
fixed for the first of October next. The
mother of the future princess has
caused splendid villa to be erected for
the young couple in the Cascine of
Florence, whittier they will repair at
the conclusion of their honeymoon.
Prince Roland holds commission in
the republican army as sub-lieutenant
of artillery, and, being totally destitute
of private means, has hitherto con-
trived to live upon his pay, an achieve
ment which speaks highly in his favor.
BY his marriage with Mile. Blanc he
will become the wealthiest scion of the
house of Bonaparte an event cOntem-
plated with extreme disfavor by some
among his illustrious kinsfolk, who
have hitherto persistently ignored the
very existence Of his mother, sister and
himself. Prince Roland, however,
whose conduct in adversely has been,
according to all accounts, highly praise
worthy, may be deservedly congratu-
lated upon having gained SO magnifi-
cent prize in the matrimonial lottery.

The Duration Of Christ,s Life.

This is generally confined TO thirty
two or thirty-three wears. The differ
ence from one or two years arises
from the different views ON the length
of his public ministry. Christ died and
arose again in the full vigor Of early
manhood, ard SO continues to live in
the memory of the church. The de-
cline and weakness of old age is incon-
sistent with his position as the renova-
tor and Saviour of mankind. Iren@us,
otherwise (as disciple Of Polycarp,
who was disciple of st. John) the
most trustworthy witness of apostolic
tradition among the fathers, held the
untenable opinion that Christ attained
to the ripe age of forty or fifty years,
and taught over ten years beginning
with the thirteenthl and that he thus
passed through all the stages Of human
life, to save and sanctify "od men, Z
as @infants and children, and boys and
youths.

acterized, says the Graphic, as "ghost

7 said: "Its nonsense We have been
paid by the government our contract
price Of $2,996, and are abundantly sat
isfied at our bargain. We paid Mr..
Davis for his work but the amount is
private matter. He never made any
demand against the white house. and
his agreement was with u.s.
GLOW much did the set cost?'
"I do not know. There were a thous-
and small items, and everybody in the
establishment was at work on it, first
and last, off and on, and it would be
impossible to tell what it really did

able to make any accurate estimate.
We shall sell limited number of du-
plicates, just as a limited number of
steel engravings are sold. If Mrs.
Hayes had asked for unique set, and
we had contracted to break the molds,
then we should not have been able to
make it for anything like the contract
price. | do not care to say what we
shall sell the sets at, or how many,
since those are facts which our Gus
toners may not care to have known.
AS 1t is, the set cost a great deal less
than did the Grant set, and only about
one-half of what the Lincoln set COST
1t is understood that the firm will
sell about ten duplicates before the
molds are destroyed, and that the price
will be about $4,000 a set, SO that in the
end the firm will scarcely lose anything
on its contract, all the expensive work
having already been done for the orig
inal. Mrs. Hayes has set at rest all
discussion as to possible litigation by
friendly letter of Aug. 2, to Mr.. Davis,
in which she alludes to the universal
admiration" which the work has re-.
ceived, and to her own personal de-
light She concludes with 81 con-
