When after the election the quarrel be-

full hcadway, Guteau, like the Republican tramp

A sEMI-LUNATlC, writing for the New

There is absolutely nothing to account for this

rMust We not realize in the light Of this dread
riul calamity at Washington that those who breed
and nurse this malignant, selfish, grasping, and
desperate spirit are aiming blow at the life of the
Republic?
There never were curses or threats
against the President. There WAS disap-
proval Of Il custom-house appointment.
The Tribune boasted that nearly all the
papers were, like itself, cursing Conkling.
And it froths and fumes at Conkling now
every day, as if frantic at his being al
lowed to live. Why does it persist in its
demoniacal nursing of malignant spirit?

A Curious I'nci.

1t is said to be the fact that in those
few countries where people habtually take opium
the children born are healthy, sound, and not TOO
numerous, while in the districts further west.
where the inhabitants find comfort not in opium
but in alcohol the proportion Of idiocy and dis
ease among the children Is nbnormally large, to
say nothing the brutality and cruelty which ex-
cess in alcohol produces.-PW Nal Gazette.
