TH1SOONAh.
Ex. United States Senator THOMAS NJ.
NORWOOD will enter the ol,cn-ior-all race
for governor in Georgia.
The Ithaca ,Joutnal mentions among the
possibilities the carly resignation of Min
lister ANDREW ID. WHITE us president of
Cornell university.
Dan RICE has already retired from tho
religious field, and is fitting upa floating
circus for the Mississippi river and its trib-
utarics.
On the day the Cincinnati convention
nominated Hancock, Mrs. MARGARET
PERRY, Of New Orleans, gave birth to
triplcts, two boys and Il girl who have
been named Hancock, English and Amer
ica.
The discussion as to whether the Repub-
lican candidate for vice president was born
in America or Ireland, though started only
two days ago, has already tcvclovc,l the fact
that the family name is Macarthur.
When he began to dress his hair like Conk-
lin. lic dro.pcl the Nc. And the Mes
will drop him.
The st. Louis Republican, approves it and
says "Gcn. HANCOCK says he will make
no speeches during the campaign, hut will
remain on Governors Island all the sum-
mcr and fall. The wisdom of this course
is apparent. In the first place as long as
General Hancock commands Il military de-
partmcnt Of tho government it will be
cmincntly proper for him to attend faith
fully to his official duties. In tho second
place, no presidential candidate, to usc the
words; of the Springfield Republican,
which, is supporting Garfield, ever went
about the country exhibiting himself with
out losing by il, and Gen Hancock will
not follow Mr.. G:,rt;c!d's foolish example. -
The Austrian born artist who has made
Puck famous, .JosErH KErrLHH, is y man
in the very prime OF life. IIc has black
hair in profusion, a heavy black mustachc,
Il square, handsome, open face and full
eyes, like u woman. lie wears sIoucll
hat, dresses always in black, carries some
times portfolio, and is always thinking
generally of something pleasant. The
IDEAS displayed in his cartoons arc some
times his own and sometimes suggested.
lie draws a c:ayOn on stone, cIabOrGtcs tho
mnutcst details, and aims always to make
the likcncsscs striking and correct. The
artistic qualities of his work arc breadth
and comp.ctncss, and his portraits arc
better than the photographs Of their origi-
mails.
The HAYES family is Oh the verge of 4
law suit. When Mrs. Hayes determined to
have 4 set of china for tho white house
she was particularly anxious tho set should
have something national about it. Ac-
cOrlnsly she entrusted Theodore II. Davis,
one of the artists of Harper Brothers, with
the work of painting the costly ware. The
fish, fowl and vegetables, which arc pccu-
liar to the American continent, were to be
painted upon appropriate dishes. This
was done, and with much satisfaction to
the occupants OF the white house. But
not as regards the bill for said artistic
workmanship. Tho Hayes people thought
VAI. stiIN HE UlOtilCA CISOo III IttiCC
who gave their time and skill to tho task,
were doing so with only the desire of re-
compcnsc in the thought of having done
something patriotic or, Oh the part of the
French artists, complimentary. Hence
misunderstanding and dispute that is
now in tho direct line Of 4 lawsuit.
Our esteemed Republican contemporary
the New York Times, docs not seem to
have much esteem for our once esteemed
fellow citizen, EDWARD MCPHERsoN. 1t
is moved to say about him and his work
"Wc observe that some of our Republican
contemporaries arc complaining of the ap-
pearance Of idiocy in the management of
the congressional committee as objected by
Mr.. Edward Mcpherson. In the course of
somewhat chcckercd career, Mr.. Nc
Pherson has, at several times, been con-
nected with alleged Republican newspa-
pers, and as secretary of the congressional
committee Mr.. Mcpherson seems disposed
to carry to the journalistic market with
which he is most familiar, documents
which arc property of the party, if not of
the people at large. His latest partner in
this business seems to be Mr.. Joseph
