pies be the beacons of a mighty warn
ing, to both the Democracy of Pennsyl-
vania and that of the Union. Let the
Speaker of the coming Pennsylvania
Legislature be a man Of brains and
honor.
Is 1T ALL fuss AND FEATHBRs?'
All at once Sbirtfrills Brewster, At
torney General, threatens to become
more formidable to the Star reuters
than could possibly be whole colony OF
dynamite Nihilists. Brewster's shirt
frills are bristling all over with fght.-
Let us hope it will rise above fuss and
feathers" When Benjamin does shake
his skirts and frills there is something
brewing. "Chet's'' rapid decapitation
of those partaking of Government pap
is furnishing food for reflection. Hon
est people wonder why COrkhill was
spared while .tChet." was running the
guillotine. "Corkey'' is reputed to be
the greatest knave for the amount OF
his brains within tie District of Colum-
bia.
THE CASE REVERSED,
Shakespeare said 1.-The evil that men
do lives after them the good is often
inferred with the bones" In Garheld's

peaTe's saying. The newspapers have
Of him. Volumes have been written in
praise of Garfield's policy. Just what
that policy was, however, and what was

which they leave to the imagination
One thing is sure, that the Garfield ad-

gave Mahoneism its confidence and sup
port. If that is praise worthy let Gar
field worshippers rojoice.
AN INTERESTING WARFARE.
There is nothing tame in the wordy
war between the two great sword twist
ers, Grant and Logan, They are now
giving the public an interesting varia-
tion of Silas Wegg's declining and fall
ing of the Rooshan Empire" Black
John has come out with a six-column
reply to Gift-taker on the Porter case
Jack is on the rampage. Verbs and ad-
jectives will have to stand from under.
The shows of the season are said to he
tame. This is going to beat the Minis
trels. This is jolly. By the way, it

say that the notorious conduct of the
Chinese troops in Corea leads to the
suspicion that they are rapidly becom-

connected with Grants late visit TO the
Chinese Empire.
INTERESTING GOSSIP.

Wilde hadn't his hair, and that his
shoTn locks were distributed among his
female acquaintances, to be worked up
I into FlOrentine trinkets. But it is true
that 'Cbet-n is afraid 20 remove Cork
hill, because COTkhill is akin to the Su-

of the FREEMAN will be pleased t.
learn that Davy Davis affianced is COY
that she will not at her time of life gC
