Chanees i'm the Game.

Great changes are noticed in the game
of marbles. When you were boy, if you recol-
lect, the idea was to " knuckle down" and try to
shoot so as to hit the e" commons" " in the ring.
That's all gone by now. The game now consists of
yelling, and the boy who has the quickest yell
wins the most marbles. This is why half dozen
boys playing marbles under your window reminds
you of the tremendous effects of the grand chorus
of Wagner's Nibelungen Trilogy."-Ne10 Hdrel

The commission of Judge Robertson as collector

1t is now expected that Robertson will take charge
of the custom house on the lst o
next month. In order to give him time
to prepare and file his bond his commits
sion will be made out signed and dated about
week before the first of July. The date of the
commission must, under the law be included in
the bond. Ifthe senatorial contest at Albany con-
tnues through this month, it is probable that the
making outofthe commission will be deferred, as

THE Gibson-Woodward organs have
much to say about the Brady organs.
They consider any paper which does not
join in the hue and cry with them as
being the organs of those they
assail. The law presumes every
man innocent until he is proven
guilty. The Gibson-W Woodward organs
insist that any man they howl against is
guilty, and that demand for proof is a
defense of crime. Some silly bystanders
think that muddy clothes betoken a
muddy man. Others see that clean men
may have their clothes defled by mud
throwers without fault of theirs. In cases
of libel the libeler. and not the libeled. is
the guilty party. Wait and see.
