THE advertising cuts of the opera The
Sorcerer =" in New York are horrible carl
catures of Talmage and are freely posted

do about it.
THE supreme court of the United States
decided yesterday that the law of Alabama
prohibiting miscegnation is not in
conflict with the fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution, or with civil
rights legislation founded upon it, "for
the reason that it applies the same punish
ment to both offenders, the white and the
black, without discrimination
A PITTSBURGH dealer in poker chips
says the sale of that commodity is rapidly
on the increase, showing that the game is
growing in popularity. The people who
buy the chips are not professional gam
blers, but play the game at home in their
own families, and the dealer ventures the
opinion that there is more poker in private
residences than in club rooms and gam
bling houses.
THE romantic side of American life is
strikingly illustrated in the experience of
oI,o% II w Tol,,, E;yo
ago, Mr.. Tabor was retail storekeeper in
a small way of business and poor man.
To day he is a millionaire ten times over,
and senator-elect Of the United States.
Go west, young man.-NorM american.
Perhaps another side of American life
is ilustrated-that it is easier for a rich
man to get into the Senate than for a
camel to go through needles eye.
THE New York daily papers are giving
more space than they ever did before to
society matters. Every morning paper
except the Herald has a regular society
department, and these departments are
really written by people in society and
not by the ordinary reporters, who get
| their information from the head cook OF
the caterer. Everything that tlanspires
| within the sacred circles is consequently
furnished TO an inquiring public
HOWARD in his letter to the Philadel

style in which Vanderbilt proposes tc

round of animal delight which the million
aire railroad king has prepared for the
| delectatiOn of himself and the choice
party who are to accompany him to Cali
fornia are described as rivaling the para
phcrnalia OF Snowman, and altogether
out of taste and scrsc. The quiet but
elegant manner in which Mr.. Charles A
Dana will make the same journey is offer
ed as useful and satisfactory contrast.
A PARTIALLY successful raid has beer
made on the pot hunters of the Susque
hanna river. 1t was planned at th
instance of the gentlemen sportsmen o
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
Those who are not familiar with sport .,
the Chesapeake bay can hardly appreciate
what damage these pot hunters do. Th
band of poachers which was raided had
rendezvous on Spesutia island, which i
about six miles below Havre de Grace
There were about twenty of these bi:
guns in the gang, and it is estimated tla
they killed 500 ducks every night.
4 WRITER in the Nineteenth Centur;
has found out that women, especially
those Of the upper classes, who are no
obliged to keep themselves in condition b,
work, lose after middle age (some time
earlier) considerable amount OF thei
height, not by STOPPING, as men do, bu
by actual collapse, sinking down, ,nainl,
to be attributed to the perishing of thei
muscles that support the frame, in conse
quence Of habitual and constant pressur,
OF stays, and dependence upon the artifi
cial support by them afforded. Every
girl who wears stays that press upon thes,
muscles and restrict the free development
OF the tibres that form them, relievin,
them from their natural duties of support
ing the spine-indeed, incapacitating then
from SO doing-may feel sure she is pre-
pairing herself to bc a dumpy woman
Failure OF health among women whe,
the vigor of youth passes away is but to-
patent, aud but too commonly caused b.
this practice.
REV. j. MAX HARK, of this city, is
contributor to a discussion of the tompcr
ance question which appears in the Chris
tim Union this week. The drift Of senti
ment, as it is developed in the papers o
these temperance reformers, is PRACTICAL
unanimous in tho declaration that pro
hib;tory laws would not have the effect a
present of checking drunkenness, aud tha
a higher public sentiment needs to be cul
tivated before drinking can be firall,
abolished. II is an apt parallel that on'
of the writer's draws when he says; /,
man whose boy has had his eyes blown
out by a careless handling Of gunpowdel
from the community, but sportsman who
has used it all his life without harm tt
himself or others may insist that such I;
course restricts his liberty. Both OF then
will agree, however, that measures which
will prevent it being carried in the YES,
pocket in company with parlor matches OF
kept under tho parlOr stove ara worth
