1t would take a Philadelphia lawyer
to determine which party ought to pay
for the fire works which have been used

New York election.
The farmers of Maine raised a good
crop of apples this year and are taking
in three dollars o barrel for them at their
own doors, owing to the scarcity of the
fruit about everywhere else. This is
hard lick on Salon Chase.
1t is said that the remains of Pha-
roah's daughter have been discovered
among the mummies at Thebes, but as
they have not yet been identified by
Susan B. Anthony, the public will
appreciate the fallacy of conceding the
authenticity of such q statement.
The government expended $4,000 on
the Yorktown centennial. The histori-
cal importance of the event must count

A couple of Mormon missionaries,
engaged in the business of making con.
verts in Hackney, England, were recent

Phillip Sullivan, one of the youthful
train robbers of Arkansas, recently SEN
fenced 70 the penitentiary for term of

bank cashiers or travelling lightning-rod
agents.
The cruel queen of fashion is waving
her sceptre over the high and diguified
supreme court of the United States. The
other day a young female fashion re-
porter OF Washington described minute
ly the style of the impressive gown worn
by Justice Harlan. This has been sup

in order to give weight TO his opinions
