The Tr1,e OIL, World

Professor HuXley's remark, when he
came to this country, that the true Old World is
America. seems to be borne out by recent observa-
tions of the pyramids of Pueblo, in Mexico. This
mysterious structure fairly dwarfs the famous
pyramid of Cheops, in Egypt. The latter covers
but fourteen acres, while the Mexican one covers
forty acres, and originally was 600 feet high, or
100 feet higher than that which towers beside the
Nile. 1t is made of sun-dried brick and is sup
posed to have been built 5000 years ago, but by
whom none can say, nor for what purpose

THE clacquers of the administration
claim that the President will have all but
six of the Democratic Senators with him
in the vote on Robertson's confirmation.
But they all agree that if any Democrat
vote against him it would be horrid
thing in Conkling and his friends to vote
in such company. Let us prey!

Canon Farrar began his sermon by say
ing Lord Beaconsfeld disliked nothing so much
as indiscriminate eulogy. As the sermon pro-
ceeded, his fiiends were grateful he had been
spared by death al least one infiiction, which he
would have suffered if he had lived to sit under
Canon Farrar. Canon Farrar's disclaimer of indis-
criminate eulogy reminds me of the story of the
north county fsh-wife, who went to buy dress.
None of your gaudy colors for me-" she said :;
" give me plain red and yaller."-London Truth.

THE Presidents organ, the New York
Tribune, says that in the matter of Rob-
ertson's confirmation the President " is
bringing no sort of influence to bear on
Senators to secure this that he has not
the clearest right to use, according to the
strictest views of what is proper for him
to do" He merely threatens personal
hostility to any Senator who differs with
