LIKE the genial Mr.. Micawber, who
declared that he would not desert old
England, the persistent Mr.. Rollins asserts
that he will not desert his chances for
reelection as United States senator from
New Hampshire. But Mr.. Micawber was
often deserted, notwithstanding.
TIE American rife team, who are now
in England, are receiving the most defer
entail treatment The coming match at
Wimbledon is expected to be the most
successful in many years. The Americans
need to be successful this year, as during
last year they were left badly by the Eng
lish shooters.
The eloquent obituary editorials which
have been given to the country through
the columns of the leading newspapers on
"The Last of the Bourbons," Henri
"" "The Rival of the Third Republic "
and other such grandiloquent headings,
we're rather premature This morning. 8
dispatches speak very favorably Of Count
DeChambord's recovery.
"THE current history of the govern
ment demonstrates, beyond question, that
even the most sweeping retrenchments that
have ever been mado in our expenditures
have not embarrassed the public service
for an hour and, furthermore, that in a
government like ours there is no safe
ground between severe economy and
prodigal expenditure :; that the admins
| tration will either be frugal and honest or
lavish and corrupt."-W s. Holman, in

The present year, of which little mole
than half is past, has been notable for the
number of it's fatal accidents by food, by
fire, by panic, by landslides, by ex-
plosives, by panic, by snowslides, by
storms at sea and storms on shOre-dire
happenings of every descriprion-some in
our midst and some in every part of the
world. 1t has been prolific too in earth
quakes, in tornados, in cyclones and other
of natures agencies for destruction, from
which the aggregate loss of life can scarce
be estimated, but it luns up to many
thousands.
A PHILADELPHIA foe of the English
sparrow has devised the brilliant scheme
of utilizing cats as destroyers of the out
lawed bird. His plan is to organize them
into bands, train them to catch tho spar
rows and consequently benefit tho public
new IDEAS of this progressive age, and il
effected, it would be sure cure for the
worst case of dyspepsia to see stern old
Thomas cat marshaling his hairy horde
through the land and drawing them up in
battle array. 1t would appear necessary
that the tabbies in addition to training
should also have wings
HAD Arab Pascha waited little longer
with his war, or had the cholera came little
before now that patriotic Egyptian would
perhaps not be experiencing the ways o.
the exile. Several OF tho towns not st
far from the scene of the late war are
afflicted with the dread plague and Alex
andria itself has it. With lot of dying
and dead men on the battle fields to sup
pIement the putrid diet and filthy condi
tiOn of tho poorer inhabitants, LorG
Wolseley wonld have had far less pleas
ant picnic than he enjoyed in and around
the ancient city. 1t is even now limited
that tho disease has broken out among the
Engls soldiers stationed in Egypt, and
the intention of calling them home il
seriously entertained. With the troops
away, the cholera present and Arab
escaped back to his countrymen what
might he not do?
THAT notorious and rather brilliant
French duellist and editor, Paul dc Cas-
sagnac, has been interviewed by New
York Herald reporter. M. de Cassagnac
says that in the event of tho death OF
Count DeChambOrd, Prince Jerome will
issue another manifesto, and plainly init
mates that the prince may count on his
support if the former comes over to Gas
sagnac's "sroup Of the imperialist party
There is undoubtedly some life left in the
enemies of the third republic and they may
do it harm. 1t is not, however, unreason
able to believe that the Fronch people of
to day have some more stability than il,
the dark days of the revolutions and are less
inclined to imperialistic IDEAS. No where
but in Paris is tho movement for change
of government very pcrceptible but then
it is to be remembered that Paris has ever
baen France.
KING ALE ONso, of Spain, and the Pitts
