- The Grant lnen at Chicago had de.
termined to make their ticket "Grant and
Arthur" This was six months before the
convention, according to their own ad-
mission. They simply make Arthor the
tail of a different horse Of the same breed
when the "old man" was dropped.
"A census man has struck something
interesting in Oldtown. Maine. fIe has
found a youth 12years old named Joseph
H. Forticr. He is the Gfth in succession
bearing the same name. Each of the
five was the first born, and all were born
on the first day Of April.
The woman who makes a bed quilt
containing twenty thousand pieces, and
man who crowds fourteen thousand
words OH q postal card have fulfilled
their missions in this world, and should
be pursuaded either to kindle fire
with coal oil or experiment with a
flying machine.-Bighampton Rp"bh-
can.
The Boston Traveller bcgs the Repub-
licans not to "strike at the tail of the
ticket" az that "endangers Garfield"
The Republicans wEo have struck hard
est at the tail of their own ticket are
Hayes and John Sherman, who pro-
nounced Arthur a corruptionist, and
removed him from the New York Custom
House.
The Democrats put themselves on
record as to Chinese immigration, by
passing bill imposing restriction upon
that class of immigrants. Hayes, in
behalf of his party, vetoed the bill. Gar.
fed voted against the measure. and
voted against passing the bill over Hayes
veto. The Pacific coast Republicans
have taken note of Garfcld's record on
this subject.
- The Republican ticket in Indiana
i. painfully weak, and there is every pro.
liability that it will be beaten. Porter,
the candidate for Governor, is an Office
holder in the Federal Treasury Depart.
ment, who has made practice ofbreaking
Hayes "civil order No. l." and Hanna,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is an
obscure country lawyer of recognized me-
diocrity.
st. Louis is groaning over an official
census report of only 375, 900 inhabitants.
Evansville is also complaining, and de-.
mands second count. The city which
has right to complain of bungling cen.
sus returns is Louisville. She has made
far greater progress in population than
either St. Louis or Evansville during the
last ten years, and yet tits intimated that
her population is only 20,OOO-a palpa'
ble absurdity.
- An inveterate Yankee tobacco
chewer WAS in the habit of declaring
about once a month that he would
"never chew another piece" but broke
his pledge as often as he made. On one
occasion shortly after he had "broke of
for good" he was seen taking another
chew. "Why," said his friend, you told
me that you had given up that habit;
but see you are at it again." II have
gone to chewing aud left off lying"
Bicyclists will do we'll to mediate on tie
following ominous paragraph in the last
London Truth: "It may be noticed that
many young men you meet nova days
are prematurely roundshouldered and
walk with bent knees and sort ofcrab-
like movement. This is not the result of
over.study or weakness, but the conse-
quence of perpetual wobbling on what is
called the steel horse This peculiar
and ungraceful appearance, which is
becoming indelibly stamped on many
youth is known as the 'bycicle back"
MIR. Blaine and Mr.. Hoar excel
their Republican brethren in meanness.
The amendments they offered to the
Mexican veterans bill, imposed condi-
tions on this class which have never
been demanded of tile soldiers of the late
war. The Senators who offered them
have never smelt battle even from afar,
and because some of the Mexican vete.
rams served in the late Confederate army
they choose to show their baby spite.
The littleness of their souls is marvellous.
- The naval Appropriation for the next
fiscal year is 81 4, ,405, 1870, and the army
gets $26, 1926, 800. This is reduction of
81 500 900 on the navy appropriation OF
last year and $14,OO0,0OO less for the
army appropriation. The Republican
Congresses have never since the war
appropriated less than s36,000,OOO for
the army, and they appropriated as high
as,S123 100000 in 1868. For the navy
