New York Irishmen are raising a
fund for Brady's widow. This does not
refer to Bob Ingersolrs Brady. That

present and with Frightening prospects
for remaining sprightly.
| As Ia sort of anti-climax to the magni-
ficence and display at Moscow during
the coronation ceremonies, comes a riot
at st. Petersburg, in which the mob as

tachment of Cossacks had to be brought
out to suppress the disorder.

Whittier are we driftingp Twenty
three trotting horses were sold at the
auction in New York, last week, at
prices ranging from one hundred and
ten to seven hundred dollars. 1t is,
perhaps. needless to add that Maud S.
or Rarus were not included in the lot
Mrs. Annie Besant, the female
Bradlaugh. is planning to come to this
country. Annie must think better of it.
We have had more than our share of
England's celebrities. Her theories have
been SO often practically illustrated by
artistic countrywomen that it is not at
all necessary for her appearance in
person.
Fondulacers threaten to blow up the
dam in the Fox river, in order to settle
the overflow question, and the Nee
nahites are urged to provide themselves
with blunderbuss and rope to meet
the invaders. From these scurrying
war clouds there is fear that a .demni-
ton VOW is on the tapis. Governor
Rusk, call out the militia.
Apprcciative Milwaukeans have ten
dered Ella Wheeler. the authoress of
the much discussed Poems of Pas
sion," reception and presented her

The New York medical society has
adopted the new code of medical ethics
and is now in perfect accord with the
state medical society. The significance
of the adoption lies in the fact that
physicians are now absolved from that
old time heather rule which prevent
ed them from meeting in consultation
with physicians of other schools.
Southerners are making up in elev-
enth hour activity what they lost in gen.
eral shiftlessness before the war. AT
a recent hanging in Macon, Ca, an en-
terprising party erected a tier of seats
near the gallows, paid a hundred dol
lars license for the privilege, and then
rented the seats out at one dol
lar each. Thus does the thrifty Georg.
ian improve the shining hour.
The French desire for military glory
of mild type, is likely to be assuaged
by a war with China. 1t is worthy Of
notice that the Chinese diplomats talk
with much more confidence of the out
come than would have been the case
some years ago. Ships of war built in
foreign navy yards, or in yards at home
under foreign supervision, and an army
armed with modern guns makes new
power of the Mongolian empire, and it
is quite likely to prove like a singed
cat, much better than it looks.
The government is making it warm
for the fraudulent land agents in Da-
kota. In the Mitchell district a dis
graceful state of affairs has been pre-.
valent for some time, by which actual
settlers have been beat out of any chance
to locate on good lands. Arrests have
been quite frequent lately and the pres
ent path of the land speculator is beset
by thorns of the most formidable pro-
portions. 1t is expected that before the
present sitting process is finished actual
settlers will have some show for theil
lifes, which is just as it should be. j
