IT is by no means certain that an
orphans court judge is needed in Berks
county because q part of the bar there
asks for it. The state has too many
judges now, and, as the Record suggests,

TIE cyclones in America and the gal
lows in ireland will for time have an
even race in the work of depopulation.
TIE petroleum scented town of Oil City
is inflated over the possession of citizen
who lost leg in the war and has never
applied for q pension because "his wife
el0ped with another man white he was in

tion." y - .s.
The Christian Union proposes soon to
enlarge it's sphere and to mako its plan SO
broad and catholic as to include the pro.

ACTOR STECK, the whilom ambitious
preacher of Pittsburgh, made his debut
recently in an Indiana town as tho
solemn depictor of tho tribulations of the
melancholy Dane, but his unlimited genius

Cree Indians and the Modocs perhaps the
spirit of the prosecuted Captain Jack has

OF the happy hunting grounds to mingle
in the councils of war held by the Cree

Little Pine. 1t is reported that they are
preparing for general war, and the

The fates who are supposed to preside
over the affairs of men are showing a
lamentable negligence in their protection

gods, not content with tearing his tents to
tatters, have laid the baby elephant low in
an endless and cold pachydermal sleep.

pertinscious reality. But now he wants
it under his protecting wing, that it may
favor him, and thus tho protection be
mutual. He is trying, through his friends,
to secure control of it, and if ne gets it he
will introduce such radical changes that
will at once be the death of the opposition
