The servant girl problem is now causing
more trouble in every part Of the country
than the question as to who shall be MEN,
bers OF p sideut CleyelanPs Cabinet.
The country is safe, but the same cannot
be said Of the chinaS~set.
Gen. Sherman's lectures on the militia
system in the United States is rather
Door affair. Ii he could only remember
how much trouble the Georgia militia
gave him in 1864, he might be able to in
ject some life in the lecture.
Gen. Butler has opened a law office in
the famous Equitable building in New
York. and viii be on hand occasionally to
advise clients who are willing TO pay high
fees for small services. He viii not live

Both King Alfonso and the pretender to
the throne, Don Carlos, are said to be in
very feeble health. Alfonso will sail on
the Mediterranean in hope of benetiting
his lungs, and Don Carlos viii 90 TO Bom-
bay on account Of trouble with his throat.
Both of them have lived too fast for their
own good.
The great Egyptian Obelisk in Central
Park, New York, owing to the rigors OF
the North American climate, is slowly,
but surely crumbling away. 1t is estI-
mated that within 500 years not charac-
ter OF its inscription will be legible, unless
some plan is adopted to protect the sur
face. Several plans have been proposed,
one of which is to enclose the entire ODE
lisk IN a case of glass.
The Republicans appear to be thunder
struck at the report that Mr.. Tilden will
be present at the Inauguration Of Cleve-
land. The presence Of Tilden will recall
the history Of the fraud OF 1876, and will
cover the corpse Of the ''grand old party
with the infamy it deserves. 1t will also
serve as a notice to all the benefciaries
OF that fraud that justice Will no longer
stay its hands. BY all means let Tilden
attend the inauguration.
While Pennsylvania has been called
an almost unanimous Republican State,
in the special election for Congressman
in the York district last week, COdOTus
township, in York county, gave 325 votes
for DR.. Swape, the Democratic candidate,
and none for DR.. Bressler, Republican.
The adjoining township OF Mannheim gave
I75 Democratic and 1 Republican vote.
A little section OF the solid South must
have strayed OF into Pennsylvania.
The new civil service law, which will
go into effect in Massachusetts in Janu-
airy, is similar to that of New York, and
If faithfully enforced will do much TO re-
form the abuses of the political spectators.
Ii is probable that one effect of the law
viii be to considerably impair the strength
of the Republican machine IN the State.
Without the cohesive power of public
plumber the Republican party would soon
go to pieces nearly all over the country.
In the Circuit Court at Memphis last
week a verdict Of $500 was returned
against the Chesapeake, Ohio and South
western Railroad in favor of Ida Wells, a
negro school teacher, who had been
elected from a first class passenger coach
after having bought a first class ticket,
and forced TO ride in the smoking car.
The suit was for 5000. The Judge in his
charge to the jury said the plaintiff had
right to recover under the common law as
well as under the statute of the State.
The French Government is actually
building a new cruiser out OF wood, and
her total cost will be about one-fOurth of
the cost of the American steel cruisers
proposed to be built by the Senate and
Secretary Chandler. As with the Ameri-
can cruisers, it is charged that this vessel
will be Of little service in war, but as she
is intended for service on the coast of
Africa, where she may not meet with a
more formidable enemy than a gOOd-sized
canoe, the French Government shows
cOmmendable economy in not wasting
any large amount OF money in her con-
structiOn and fitting out.
The suggestion that passengers on rail-
road trains be drilled in such a manner
that robbery by small bands Of outlaws
will be impossible, is a good one, but the
trouble would be in getting the passen-
gers to take part in the drills and submit
70 such discipline as would be necessary.
The railroad managers, however, might
drill their employees so as to make them
Of some service in protecting the passen-
gers and property in their charge. Five
we'll drilled, courageous train men could
easily repulse a score of robbers. but
generally four or five robbers, sometimes
mere boys, are able to Brighten a dozen
train men and several car loads of pas
sengers.
Capt. Bedford Pym, of the English
Navy, who is now in New Yorf, thinks it
will not be long before Germany and
France Will be involved in another war.
He says the Rhine is the natural bOunda-
~ Of France on the East, and that the
French people will never be content until
Alsace and Lorraine are recovered. Capt.
Pym is suspected Of being in this coun-
try for the purpose Of quietly taking notes
