NEEDLESS,

NEEDLESS.
There is no need for me to tell
What blossom has the happy lot
To match the eyes whose giances spell:
"FOrget-me not
And as they cannot but succeed
In that remembrance which they plot.
see no need for them to plead
"FOrSetme-nOt"

Ii used to be considered wonderful
thing to engrave the Lords Prayer on a
three cent piece. At the last meeting of
the San Francisco Microscopial society
the president exhibi.u,! an engraving upon
a glass plato of the Lord . Prayer SO min
utely executed that on the same scale nine
copies of the entire Bible could be pro-
duccd within the space of square inch.

HUIDEkOrER must so. The civil SER
vice propensities of the Philadelphia post
master have become unbearable to the
bosses, and they are impending over his
devoted head. 1t is expected that Stall
wart successor will be named in few
days. All removals will be post poned un.
til after the state committee meeting on
Wednesday, but the machine leaders are
united in the determination that they must
have machine postmaster.
AN English statis:ician says that no less
than 1000 swans skins ale annually i'm
ported alone for tho exclusive manufac-
ture Of the "putfs" used for the purpose
of laying powder on the face. Every swans
skin makes about sixty putfs, which would
make an annual consumption of 100000,
puffs. Is, then, the natural whiteness of
the English skin myth? The same En-
glish statistic says that tons of rice and
wheat powder are consumed annually in
England.
CAMERON has yielded passive assent to
the denomination of Eyster to be assistant
United States treasurer, although his
original purpose was to have Hewitt, or
Blair, appointed, IN payment of al old
score he owes that distinguished states
man, whose services in the speakers chair
to the machine element are vivid in the
of Pennsylvanians. The sentiment
Of the business men of Philadelphia was
50 overwhelmingly in favor Of Eyster's re-
tentiOn, however, aud against the appoint
ment Of SO notorious jobber us Hewitt,
that Cameron concluded to let the place
slide, as there are no stealngs in it, and
it is therefore of little consequence to the
machine anyhow.
THE New York Sun, while protesting
the amplest confidence in Judge Blacks
quality as political prophet as witnessed
by his prediction of Garfield's nomination
in the early spring of 1880, at a time when
such an event was considered impossible
on account of Garfield's record, is still dis
posed to think the judges vaticinations in
regard to the standard bearers for 1894
contain great deal more of imagination
than of solid wisdom. 1t admits, however,
that Blaine's nomination by the Republi-
can convention is not wholly beyond the
range of possibility, and that tho Demo.
Gratis may call Hancock to the front Ouce
more, but fancies that the nomination of
jeremiah S. Black would be received
among Democrats with great deal more
and confidence than that of
Gen. Hancock.
