"SoLID for Maloney" is the way the

Now comes the iconoclast with the in
quiry"who wrote George Eliot's novels ?'
1t is contcnded that Mr.. Lewes did I great
part of the work She never wrote any
before she knew him, nor after he died.
Hence the conclusion that her nom de
plane stood for joint authorship.
EVERY Cameron organ in the common
wealth seems to have had its orders to
fire 4 parting shot at Hayes rs he goes out.
Strange enough their contempt for him is
chiefly aroused hy his civil service reform
failure and so stern 4 partisan as the
Philadelphia Bulletin calls him - prcsi-

The impression prevails that the result
Of his visit to Garfield was satisfactory to
Conkling, and that Chief Justice Folgcr,
Of New York, will he the next secretary
of the treasury. Levi p. Morton may get
a mission. The stalwarts seem happy

W. &. PENN, one of the editors Of the
New Castle Paragraph, was a candidate
for select council. He was beaten by
vote of 173 to 30, whereupon hc returns
thanks to those who excrtcd themselves

the wrong card. "Hades" will do very
well for pulpit Use in the presence of ladies

UNMARRIED ladies may take heart when
they learn that there are nearly nine hum
dred thousand more males than females in
this country. The completed census re-

coat-of-arms. The Milwaukee Republican
suggests that since the tax on
wOlf-scalps is to be restored woIf-raisins
will undergo Il revival, and as badgers
