Mrs. Leslie,s Husband That Is To Be.

New IOrk Let en-
1t is actually fact this time that Mrs. Leslie
is to marry the Marquis de Leuville The sur
prsing part of the report is that at last the lady
admits that it is true. For three years the an
nouncement of the marriage of these two now
well-known people has been as regular as the
four seasons. Every rumor and report, how
ever, was promptly denied by Mrs. Leslie. She
even went so far on one occasion to submit to
half column interview in one of the city papers
in which she denied emphatically and for all
that she ever did, would or could marry the fas-
cinating Marquis. To those who have fol
lowed the courtship of De Leu
ville-popularly known as 'Old Wax works
and the charming reliet of the late famous
publisher the end has been long foreseen. 1t
was only question of time when De Leuville
would succeed in marrying Mrs. Leslie There
was no hope of her ever escaping, for he was as
assiduous, intense and steadfast a lover as ever
lived. He is small in height but large in girth,
has a shiny face, with struggling black beard
and great deal of jewelry, which he wears
upon all possible occasions. His clothes are of
that period of French history which was dis
tnguishcd BY baggy trousers, loose coats and
very low-cut waistcoatS He usually wears a
Byropic collar and pair of eye-g glasses. Per
sonally the Marquis is agreeable and sociable
gentleman. The fact that he is called Wax
works is due to a report circulated about year
ago that he was the stepsOn of Nine. Tassaud,
the London waXworks eXhibiter. This rumor
was subsequently denied, but De Leuyille was
always called ''Wax-works" after that.

The Politician of the slnms.

San Francisco sun
A waif washed upon our shores; a scullon boy
in gin mill frequented by thieves and shout
der-hitters afterward a bartender in and sub
sequently the proprietor of this low goggery; a
repeater before he was of age; a rounder
bruiser, and shoulder-hitter then made an
American citizen by fraud, after residence of
but two years; leader of gang of reporters
before the ink on his fraudulent naturalization
papers was dry; then a corrupt and perjured
election officer then for years a corrupt and
perjured member of the municipal Legislature
always to be hired or bought by the highest
bidder, and always an uneducated, vulgar,
fiashily dressed, obscene creature of the ring
which made him what he is and of which he is
a worthy representative; such, in brief is the
man who has been forced upon this party by
the most shameless frauds as its candidate
for the American Congress. This is filthy
language, but it is the only way in which to
describe the filthy subject to which it refers,
as every man who reads it must admit that il
is only the simple truth Is it possible that
the American people are compelled to scour the
gutter, the gin MILL and the brothel for q can
didate for Congress9 Is it possible that the ring
which has already plundered the city for so
many years, and which has so long abused
our patience with its arbitrary nominations
of the most unworthy people for the most
honorable and responsible Offices will be per-
mitted to crown its infamy by sending to
Congress this creature who represents nothing
decent and nothing fit to be named to decent

Minister Sargent has completely won Bis
marcks heart. AT the great Berlin banquet the
famous Chancellor watched the American diplo-
mat closely. AT critical moment in the meal
Bismarck called a waiter to him and spoke afew
words in a low tone. The waiter Immediately
left the banquet hail. but in a moment returned
and placed directly before Sargents plate apiece
of Limburger cheese that nearly pulled the table
cloth off. Sargent turned deadly pale. But
nerving himself he grasped the cheese, and,
holding his breath, ate every morsel of it with
great rapidity. Bismarck eyed him earnestly,
and as the last particle disappeared could con
tain himself no longer.

A movement has been started to raise fund
for soldiers monument at indianapolis that
will fittingly commemorate the heroism and
patriotism of Indiana soldiers. To start such a
movement, and then let it languish and fail
would disgrace the State. Let the fund be

suggested that Logansport set good example
BY raising her share at once. Who will earn the
credit of taking the lead in the matter.
