acterized BY calmuess of thought and intel
lisent logic saws: "The wisest thing that Mr..
Gladstone can now do would be 10 insist
upon making Mr.. Parnell chief secretary OF
Ireland"
We were bothered in striving to under
stand why such Sabbath like calm had
fallen upon the country, until, picking up
Boston journal-must have been the Post
we learned that the Rev. Joseph Cook was
lectHring in Calcutta. For these and other
mercies thanks, oh Lord says the Washing
ton Capital.
The New York Mad and Express denies
that 1t has been cold, or is for sale, and adds
quite pointedly: ave trust that our cotem-
poraries will concede TO us the possession OF
superior inform alton on this subject" The
Mail and Express is an excellent newspaper,
and If it had been sold 1t is In tolerabiy
good position to know ii.
The uncle of Mackay, the California mil
lionaire to whom he owes his education and
start in life, is, according to the Gilboa Moni-
tor, an inmate of the Ulster county, n. Y,
poorhopse. The millionaire is q liberal and
ki=d-hearted man, and if his attention was
called to this he would no doubt make his
ancient uncle comfortable for the rest of his
life.
We are taught, from our childhood up to
old age, to regard Brutus as the noblest Ro-
man Of them all, for he aided in the murder
of Caesar, and poets sing, and preachers
preach, the glory and beauty of Charlotte
Corday. We regard with cheerful indiffer-
ence the cruel slaughter of czar, and II Is
only when the brutality comes home TO US,
in the killing of the good Lincoln and gen.
tie Garfield, that we are able TO see the hor-
rors of this sort of cowardly violence.
The two theaters in New York which are
making money are Wallack's and the Madi-
0ota
through its travelling companies and through
| the money they bring to bear to secure
talent, is making probably 100000 this
year The proprietor of that theater is a
clergyman, or an ex-clergymsn, but he has
executive ability, which is seen in his en-
gaging a man like John Ovens, with whom,
it is said, he has an engagement for i've
years.
DIR. Koch has gone into the breeding and
propagating of the parasite, and Is now in
the eighth generation, and has them ready
for delivery to customers who wish TO play
Camille in realistic style in a most perfect
form. This is all very we'll, says the WASH
irgton Capital, and DIR. Koch and his associ-
ates have our best wishes. May they work
the parasite through successful breeding up
to the size of Jumbo. But we want some
learned old pump to try his hand on the
lobby parasite, and give the plundered peo-
like.
"Gatb," recounting an interview with
Owens, the actor, says: "Owens said that the
best women he had ever known were little
cranky on their age, especially when their
daughters were growing up, He referred to
one lady who had a married son and several
manageable daughters, and who related
that she was married very young-when she
was not much more than fourteen-and the
interlocutor looking at her wrinkles, she
said: Pll tell you how those came-on my
fathers side. My mother married a very
old man."
The Ell Paso Times calls attention to what
it terms "the somewhat strange coincidence,
that neither Mr.. Jesse james, of Missouri,
nor the assassin of the president, chewed to-
bscco or used whisky in any form. "Great
criminals" it adds, with the seeming of pro-
fessional knowledge, "eschew small vices,
and therefore those who indulge small VICES
can never be great criminals. We mention
pect ever to be professional hum sn-scalper
and eisenhower, disdain the use of whisky
and tobacco"
The painting by Bugereau, for which
Stokes, the murderer, paid $4,000 and ex-
hibits in his saloon in New York, is thus de-
scribed: at represents a Satyr, who has
been peeping at a number of nymphs bath
ing, and they, having discovered him, are
trying to drag him into the water and give
him ducking. The Satyr has black hair
and beard, and a rustic countenance we'll
bronzed and goaty legs, of course. He is
crouching on the bank Of the stream, with
the green woods behind him, affording a
most clear and beautiful contrast to the
naked limbs of the nymphs, all of whom are
of full life size, or larger, and exquisiteIy
painted. One is pulling him by the arm,
him by the head, while fourth, taking a
hand in the performance, is reckoning with
her outstretched hand 10 certain other
nymphs who are seen further down the
stream, calling to them for assistance. The
sun shines through the woods, and strikes
one of these BE- autiful creatures upon the
skin, making delightful golden tint; and
spots of sunshine also strike the Others and
they are indeed portraits, as if from the no.
blest models to be found.
