THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10 1888

A SENSIBLE Virginia politician
of the Democratic persuasion, ins
forms a reporter of the baltimore
Sun that the talk about the Presi-
dent going back on Malone is all
bosh- which it was at the begins
ming. Malone may lie of no subs
stantial benefit to the Republican
party in the end-that is, he may
not carry Virginia for the Repub-
lican ticket next year-but II any
one other than q crazy Democratic
politician with his ~eye>teeth uncut
car show any good reason why
President Arthur should remove a
thorn from the Democratic side
then we shall make.u up our mind to
listen to these periodical stories
about the president "going back on
Mahone.' They spring from the I'M
agination of those with whom the
wish is daddy to thethought.

Tie War Cloud in the East.

Baltimore Sun.
Events point to an early collision
of the forces of China and FRANCE IN
Tonquin. A dispatch from Hong
Kong states that LOO Chinese troops
have passed that point Oh their way
from Shanghai to Canton, aud that
more are arriving. Another dispatch
from the same place announces that
5000 troops have crossed the Mong-
kai and on Monday last entered Ton
qnin. making Haidlsag, pest eccn>
pied by two companies Of Frenchmer,
their objective poinA A force Of
1000 Chinese troops stationed at
Pakoi have been ordered to follow.
China has at nc time hesitated to
declare that she could not acquiesce
in the appropriation by France Of
the entire Empire of AMMAN, and
and these movements OF troops wQalg
seem to indicate that she proposes to
oppose force to force. From Paris
it is rumored that the Marquis Tseng
is about to renew negotiations with
III. Challemel-Lacour. The Marquis
is doubtless willing to exchange
phrases with the polite Frenchman,
but from the present aspect of affairs
it seems clear that, short Of a COM
pete reversal of the Annamese policy
OF the French cabinet, nothing that
can now be done at Paris can alter
the threatening course of events in
tie East. Wsr with CHINA is Il Sc
rious matter, for the expense it will
entail, if not for the reverses French
arms may encounter, 1t was certainly
not contemplated when the project
of annexing Tonquin was preached.
Still less were the complications with
European powers likely to attend a
war with China in contemplation
when the contest with Tu>Du; was
begun.

Damage from Drought in Virginia.

The drought of the past two months
has done aud is still doing great
damage to the crops throughout the
south side of Virginia. Unless there
is an early fall Of rain the loss will
be incalcuable. In some sections not
more than g half crop of corn can be
made, and the same may be said of
cotton and tobacco. In some counties
no rain has fallen since June.

What Our Railroad Commissioners are
Doing.

NaonVlilc NOfiN
The railroad commissioners are
proceeding steadily along with their
routine work. They haye been very
diligently informing themselves as to
their duties and are beginning to feel
that they are able to take hold Of
their work and dispose Of it in an in
telligent manner. They haye acted
wisely in adopting a course in accord
with established business principles
in al their dealings and correspon~
dence with the officials Of the rail-
road, while at the same time they
have been fortifying themselves be-
hind the law, and are ready for any
emergency that may arrive in the
event of resistance On the part of the
railroads to the operation of the
statute creating the commission and
presenting their duties. They have
not GGeeu. nor viii they be arbitrary
in their doings, but will make known
the grievances of shippers TO the
railroad officials and secure, if posi-
be, q correction OF the evil CONS
planned OF by conservative measures,
il upon investigation such should
exist. The attention Of the railroads
have already been called to a number
Of complaints which they haye
promptly remedied. A number OF pei
titions recitlng grievances are nov
on file and will be laid before the
proper officers Of the railroad for
their consideration. These com,
plants are generally for oyercharges
and determinations IN freight rates.

WELL PRESERVED ROYALTY.

It is astonishing how well some people
wear when they become corpses. When, in
April 1861 the remains of Napoleon were
transferred to the sarcophagus, they were
observed to be in perfect state of preserva-
ton When, in July, 1893, the National
Convention decreed that the tombs of the
ci-devant kings at the Church OF st, Denis
(Hve miles from Paris) should be demolished,
the frst tomb opened was that of Turenne,
whose body was found ia such perfect pre-
servation that it was exhibited for the space
of eight months in the sacristy. The first
body extracted from the vault of the Bour-
bons was that of Henry w., and it was ex-
hibited for two days, during which casts
were taken OF the face. On the same day
The bodies of Louis XIII, Louis XIV,
Marie de Medicis, Anne of Austria, Marie
Therese and Louis the Dauphin, son of Louis
XIV, were disinterred. The body of Louis
XIII, was in good preservation; that of
Louis XIV, of the deepest black. The cof-
fms of Charles vi. and Isabelle of Bavaria,
bis consort contained nothing but dry
bones. The tomb of Dagobert was opened
by torchlight. The body of this king and
his queen Nanthilde lay together enveioped
in silk. The kings head was severed from
the body the head of the queen was misc.
ing. The customs of the people in Dago-
bert's time must have made il a rather STIR

A cows RECORD.

Last winter mention was made in the
Messenger of the Jersey Queen of Barnet,
owned by J. s. Kenerson of Barnet, and OF
her butter record. She has made 746
pounds for the year ending March 15 1881.
She was at that time exceeded only by one
COW, Eurotas, owned by Col. A. B. Darling
CT the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, and
that by about thirty pounds. Succeeding
this trial, MIR. Kenerson determined on max
ing another, with the intention, il possible,
of beating the record of Eurotas, and plac-
ing the jersey Queen at the head of the list
of butter producers in the United States, il
not in the world The trial was commenced
May 20, 1881, and lasted one year.
Last winter Col. Darling purchased the
COW, paying for her $4,000, but the trial
was to be continued on and completed in
Barnet. 1t has been concluded, and we
have the monthly record of milk and butter
Tor the year. 1t aggregates 1854 pounds
Of milk and s51 pounds Of butter, leaving
out the fractions. She has exceeded her
former record by 10b pounds, and that OF
Eurotas by 70 pounds.
It took a trife over fifteen pounds of milk
for one Of butter, which showed great rich,
ness for so large quantity. The average
of milk per day for the year would be 35a
pounds, and of butter nearly p pounds.
The COW last winter weighed 1915 pounds
was healthy and robust looking, and was
having the following daily rations: Two
quarts of wheat shorts, three quarts Of
ground oats, and three pints of corn meal
twice day, or thirteen pints in all. Be-
sides, she had peck of carrots per day in
their season, and of course the best quality
OF hay to be had. Fos the drain that must
be made on the animal system in the pro-
duction of so large an amount of milk and
butter, the quantity of feed does not appear
as at all excessive, and it was not designed to
spoil the COW in the attempt to beat the
world. st. Adams Messenger.

ANALYSIS OF AMERICAN HuMoR.

American humor is something of its OWE
kind, as purely and peculiarly part of the
United States as pumpkin pie. We have
among as the vivacity of the French, the fur
of the Irish, the graver mirth Of the English
and the epigrammatic expressiveness of the
Scotch, this curious mixture has made our
wit what it Is, and every American humorist
shows the traces Of it. If we analyze the
elements of the distinctive kind and sort OF
writing which passes under the general
head, we shall be surprised to see the re-.
semblance among themselves, and their
difference from all other foreign species.
We are born followers of Baron Munchausen,
md exaggeration is at the bottom of the
most of orr humor. When John Phoenix
said that he called out to the crowd on
shore, !" Good-by, Colonel" and every able
bodied man in it raised his hat and cried,
"Good-by, Colonel, " in response, he touched
the great nerve of American humor; and
when he stated that he held the belligerent
editor down over the press "by means Of
Jur nose, which we had inserted between
his teeth for this purpose he showed the
second trait of the characteristic comic
writer-namely, ludicrous juxiaposition, and
reversing of ordinary ideas. And so, when
Artemus Ward says to the young man who
disturbed him in the theatre, I'D appint
your funeral tom rrow afternoon, and the
sorpse should be ready" he gives as the
third feature, quaint phraseology and odd
turns of dialect In these three points, then

Becaese IL is everybodys newspaper. No man
Is so humble that The SUN is indifferent to his

association OF men, Is powerful enough to be ex-
spt from the strict application of Its principles
because in politics II has fought for dozen

OF bosses, the encroachments of monopolists, and
the dishonest schemes of public robbers.
All this Is what we are told almost daily by our
friends. One man holds that THE SUN is the best
religious newspaper ever ever published. because
its Christianity Is undiuted with cant. Another
holds that it is the best Republican newspaper
printed because ii has already whipped half OF
the rascals out of that party, and is proceeding
against the other half with undiminisbed vigor.
A third believes it to be the best magazine OF
general literature In existence, because us readers
miss nothing worthy of notice that is current In
the world OF thought. So every friend of THE
SUN discovers one Of its many sides that appeals
with particular force to his individual liking.

that in 1883 1t Il little better than before.
