A bitter wag, made angry by the ever
increasing output OF novels, kas devised a
new and malignant antidote FOR the appe-
lite OF romance. He declares that he Will
write a supplement to every hodsrh love
story, TO be sold at halt price, setting forth
the matrimonial adventures and sxpori-
encss OF the here and heroine. The sweet
and pathetic maiden with the mild blue
eyes and the golden hair Is to be deyel-
oped into the fat and rudy shIew
With tendency TO quarrel with her
husband and row her servants. The
gallant gentleman with the long mousiaoho
aud the silver volce is, on his part, 30 be
ruthlessly pictured marching sp and down
his bedroom In an airy attire with squsll-
ing baby ia MS arms, redolent of sour milk
and catnip The will OF the rich old uncle,
which brings wealth and happiness at the
end OF the first volume, will he proved d
forgery in tho second. What with the up.
setting ofevery pretty oonventionslity and
the disc Otu. e of the inevitable conditions
into which no well.bred novelist ever fol-
lows his characters, this cynic hopes to
make sovel reading nauseous, and novel
writing rs Improbable rs 1t is dark indus.

That absurd story Of MARSHAL NEY hay.
llg been an American has heer revived,
This time by = Mr. RUDoLEs, who ia a
zephev OF MRS. GARFIELD, aud claims the
great French chicftain as his uncle. As
RUDOLPH is an Ohio man, IL is possible his
osuard may prove success. LOUIS PHiL-
iFPt was said to have become citizen Of
the United States. LOUIS NAPOLEON IN
doubleday was denizsn for years, and the
G CUNT De PARIS took a leading hand in
our civil warfare. Verify, there seems to be
some affinity between Gallo royalty and
American republic.nism. But why con-
fine these spectators in public creduIity
10 France? Let ianciest o. the disciples Of
EsjP put on his thinking cap and prove
beyond DOUBT that CErAWAYO was sn
escaped slave from Georgia plantation.
SO great is the exultation OF MassachU-
setts republicans over BUTLER's defeat that
when they die they hope TO go to ROBIN
SON." On the same gubernatorisl phsn-
tasy II a man died in Texas he wosld want

R.SCtN1N AND CAPITALIST.

Enterprising western cattle and ranch
owners are plying capitalists Of New York
aud other large oitiss in the east with urgent
sreamsnts 10 induce them 20 invest ia thu
ranch business The business isS good enc;
no doubt OF that; but some OF The allega'
tons OF the ardent cattle msn are too much
10 be swallowed gracefully. The active cat
tie dealer has attacked tho staid Bostonian
IN his home by Plymouth Rock. The cul.
tured man of Boston Is hard to reach with
the showing OF small Investment and quick
returns of high interest. The operator in
cow. and calves has u language and style oil
his own. They are new TO the precise, old
money.d codger OF the east IL Is not as
easy for the ranchmGn TO get along In Chi
osgo, St. Lspis and Kansas City az II is in
the east. The ardent manner OF the COW
dealer is 10 be admired, and his business is
legitimate. His occupation is as good MS
any other. Il is not this that makes him
curiosity in the east but it is the oonject-
ure In the cautious and hGir-splitting mind
of the old capitalist that there Is a chance
that the s1uberant ranchman is too san
guine. Il not too reckless, in his statements.
II he claims that he can sell a ranch OF cat
tie that will yield sixty per cent. ann ually
and some Of his colleagues undoub tedly
have claimed IL, he opens the eyea OF the
money holder and makes him keen in
ouirer on the spot. Then the sixty per
cent. story has TO be proved. No one OBJ.
jscts 10 the proof even at the end OF much
labor, so long as the proof is fall and clear
1t may be that the figures will not always
yield the demonstration desired and in
such case the trade is eff Besides do
stroying this particular trade, it is fair to
presume Others will be handicapped in ad
vance by the report that will get out about
the visionary and ardent ranchman.
These remarks, made in kindly vein are
suggested by q statement in q commercial
newspaper of New York, to the effect that
the city named is frequently visited by cat
tie mon from the west; that they have
great stories OF large landed interests for
sale, and that they do not agree on the
q.estion of profit. In this particular the
margin is so wide as to excite doubt. The
article refers TO representations orig mating
in New Mexico. Therefore our remarks are
plea for caution and not OF q Gems orious
nature.
