Anna Dickinson achieved reasonable success
in the lecture field, but failed as an actress and

The bill from the senate to retire Judge
Hunt, of the supreme bench, has passed the
house of representatives. 1t is we'll to have him

continue his Wall street speculations at the
expense of the government might now very
appropriately come up.

The friends of Congressman Pacheco, of
California, are canvassing the question of
sending him to Chilia to succeed the late Gen.
Fitzpatrick. Mr.. Pacheco Is native of Cali
fornia, of Spanish Mexican parentage, and has

creditable representative of the government in
any court.
judge Cox, who was so severely criticised
during the progress of the trial of the assas.
sin is universally commended for his charge
to the jury, which is regarded as model,
clear, terse, and not to be misunderstood. The
whole case hinged on the single point of in
sanity, and the evidence against the assump-
ton of insanity was as clear as the noon day
sun, to any mind of average intelligence.
Miss Anna Dickinson, it is to be feared, is
''towering ambition" is bringing her to an
unhappy fall. She had better keep to her
proper femeninity, and not essay to ape the
male persuasion. Clearly she regrets that
mistake was made in her sex, and that she
was not born a man. Her late ambitious at

of crime scarcely paralleled in its atrocity
he processes to believe that a Jury of "Chris
tians'' would have accepted his blasphemous
theory of inspiration, and hence would have
better understood his defense. Christendon
will breathe freer when the halter shall have
put an end to the horrid mouthings of the
monster.
Mr.. Conkling is represented bv some to be
gloomy, depressed and morose. His disap-
pointment at the unexpected change in his
political position cuts him deeply. He is
greatly exasperated at the desertion of many
of his henchmen, whom he has favored for
many years. 1t is said he has soured on poll
tics, and would be willing to turn his back
on legitimate, as well as machine political
life, and would be willing to accept place on
the Supreme Court bench in place Of Justice
Hunt, and quit politics forever. Of course, if
he desires place on the bench, Mr.. Arthur
