TUESDAY, MAY ), 1881.

1t IS said that David Davis has been sur
veyed for a new suit of spring clothes.
Ex-Presidert Hayes is of the opinion that
the American people are too nervous ana eA-
citable to use whisky. Whitewash appears
TO have been the ex-president's favorite tonic.
An exchange says, ''the Irish World has
been declared a reasonable publication by
the British government. This means Thirty
or forty thousand more subscribers for the
World"
Thirty-eight or forty senators are paired.
The most OF them have gone home. Should
the democrats now leave a quorum could not
be obtained and the deadlock would be end
ed, and with it the extra session.
Mr.. Ramon Verea, a Spanish resident OF
New York City, has invented a machine for
multiplication Of numbers. Ii will multiply
nine figures or less by SIX or less by simply
turning a crank as many times AS there are
figures in the multip!ier. 1t can be done in
a moment and never makes a mistake.
The reports fromthe grain growing western
states show that while great damage has been
uOIlt w u " Up ~ bAS
ity of the winter and by the spring foods The
yield in the aggregate will equal that OF last
season. This is owing to the increased acre
age induced by the high prices of thiss staple
for the past two or three years.
1t is noticed the Ntrc North Vest stu
diously avoids referring to the act creating
the county of Silver Bow as an act. In the
estimation of that journal 1t is still a bill, and
as such only is it mentioned. Delegate
Maginnis should see to it that the organic act
of the territory be amended so as to provide
that all bills shall be passed by the Neo
North est rs we'll as by the legislature.
Such an amendment may possibly prevent
Injunction suits against counties.
1t is said that Alexander Ill. has lost six
teen pounds since his accession to the throne.
1t is further stated that the execution OF the
late czal's murderels has cemented the Nj
hilists in their determination to serve out a
like fate to his son, and the son knows it.
Hence his anxiety. The position of Alex
ander III. is hot all enyiable one. The
meanest peasant in his empire has less care
and experiences more happiness than the
young autocrat. "Uneasy lies the head that
fears the bomb"
The Congressional Record as simplifed by
the Chicago Times reads as follows:
s'Senate net.
Prayer by chaplain (probab.y wasted).
Such senators as were not pared were pres
ent.
Motion TO 60 into executive session lost.
Vice-presideut announced in order, the
consideration of the Hoar resolution to pro-
coed to The election Of Mr.. Matone's Virginia
friend.
Ding-dong for three hours.

1t has been suggested that the territory take
out a life Insurance. policy on the NeIc No1th-
West. This is urged in anticipation OF its
demise in the near future and that the people
would thu be partially reimbursed in their
loss of that great constitutional and organic act
expounder. In view 0fthe plethoric condition
of the territorial treasury an insurance of
say-ten cenfs-would not be too much to
be effected on that high Law Authority. We
would respectfully urge that the proper
authorities give his matter their early and
serious consideration. The several counties
IN the territory cannot afford to lose the Near
North Vest.
The Louisville COurier-JouTn0t is respon-
sible for the following: "Chopface left town
the ether day owing ten weeks board. The
unhappy land lady found on his wash stand
the following note Dear Mrs. Pieplant-l
am called away for an indefinite period.
Don't feel any uneasiness as to what l am
owing you. | have a plan for REIMBURSEMENT
of his little debt, and all shall be settled.
But for the hurry of departure l would have
explained to you. We are entering upon a
new era, Mrs. Pieplant, and 1 trust we shall
hear no more of the solid South.
Yours in haste,

Under the caption 'Biack Clouds for Kel
w. Truth says it begins to look very serious
for John Kelly's prospects Of maintaining hi
ascendancy in the Tamnany society. The
elements opposed to him have been also op
posed to each other, and it was only with thu
greatest difficulty that they have been brough
together. But they have come together a
last. and agreed upon a ticket to run agains
his ticket at the coming election.
Now it remains to Ee seen whether Johl
Kelley has sufficient influence with those VIII
have heretofore followed him-many Q
whom are under the highest obligations t
him-to bring them out and induce them t
vote against his overthrow.
