In one of the theatres the 0the,
evening a young man and woman.
both we'll dressed and evidently of
good social position, came in to-
gether and took seats in the corner
OF the orchestra. After the first act
the young man excused himself and
went out, d%isplacIng as be did so all
the people who had seats between
him and the aisle, and as the curtain
went up he returned. lis neighhors

as ne passed them of an agreeable
OF cloves and the copper-dis-
titled nectar Of Kentucky.
At the end of the second act
the operations were repeated ana
the mixture of spicy and alcoholic
doors was augmented, and again
at the end of the third, at which
time the young man was observed to
be somewhat unsteady on his pins.
AS the curtain dropped on the fourth
act he again went out, but this time
was followed By his companion al
though he himself did not notice the
fact. When he came back and sat
down he observed her absence. and
alter looking vaguely about and com.
pairing his check with his check
number. he got upon his feet and
went out to find her.
After a long hunt in the lobby and
dressing room, he evidently came to
the conclusion that she had left him
in the lurch and gone home, where
upon he also departed. And those
who saw the affair would have given
him $3.50 apiece to hear what she
said to him the next time they met.

LONDON, August 5.-Gladstone is
moving a credit Of e3OO. 900 to pro-
vide for an expedition to Soudan. 1t
is said the purpose of the expedition
was merely to relieve Gen. Gordon
and not to crush the Mahdi. 1t
would be sufficient to secure good
government in Soudan. The evacu-
alton of that country is now the
question. England was hound to
protect Gen. Gordon. Gladstone
intimated that he was asking menu
bers to vote rather on the principle
involved than on the exact figures,
which he anticipated the expedition
would cost. His intention was to
authority to redeem pledges
which had already been made. 1t
undesirable to enter into details
at present, Labouchere (radicall OBJ.
jected. The vote now asked for, he
believed, was a mere sop. Next
year the House would be asked to
vote $1,000, 900 to carry on the work.
The credit was agreed to.

1t is said that a large amount Of
dynamite has been purchased In New
York by Cuban revolutlonists, and
that much of 1t has already been
shipped to New Providence, the
largest of the Bahama Islands, where
it will be available for use in the pro-
jected insurrection in Cuba. A sta
ton has been established at Nassau,
New Providence, according to the re-
ports OF the movement, and prepare
tions have been made for a fierce
struggle to deliver the Ever Faith
full Isle" from Spanish authority.
The Castilian government has been
expecting q formidable i~nsurrection,
and it is believed that the difficult
task of governing the island, quite as
much as the prospect Of its bank
ruptcy, has caused Spain t" consider
the advantage OF Kidding herself of
her American possession. The con-
dition OF Cuba Is already very bad,
and wal may ruin nearly all that civ
ilization has accomplished. there.
There is no hope for Cuba, unless the
United States can be induced to CON-
sent to her annexation to the Union.

it was heartfelt Upon the part Of the
good people of that city. It was .
merited tribute to brave men who
had risked their lives at the COM
mand of the Government; but after
all, 1t is questionable whether it will
produce good results. Such demon
STATIONS are calculated to IRE the
ambition of others, which can only
be cooled by q voyage to the Arctic

There is a fascination in attempting

important Decision

MuscAT1NE, Iowa, August D.
Judge Hays of the Seventh Iowa
judicial district has rendered an inn
portant decision as to the Jurisdiction
of justices Of the peace under the new
Iowa prohibition law. Judge Hays
holds that JUST .es have no jurlsdi-
ton to try, determine or pass Judge
ment upon cases under the law other
than to hold preliminary trial and
bind defendants over to the district
court. The decision Is based upon
the opinion that the penalties of the
new law exceed the ,jurlsdicti n of
the justices. By this decision all
liquor cases commenced here under
new law are dismissed. The
question is one of great importance
ana will be appealed to the Supreme
Court.

MI. interested in coal
mines in West Virginia with Senator
Davis. The Denver NeWs in speak
ing of the fact says: Blaine en-
ploys pauper labor in his mine. He
will employ anybody that will con-
sent to work for go or Is cents, which
he has often said he regards as fair
enumeration for n days work. We
think otherwise, and on account of
his tyrannical management Of his
properties and his persistent refusal
to employ Irishmen or other skilled
laborers we are against him. He has
brought into this country pauper
labor from Norway and Sweden and
Italy, and active, skilled, native me-
chanics have no chance to compete.
He trades on the idea that the Irish
are poor and ignorant.

Morning Journal: 1t is generally
conceded that there are. circum-
stances under which killing is not
murder. We believe, however, that
it has never been judicially deter
mined whether the killing of the
man who takes votes for Presiden-
tial candidates on railroad trains
belongs to this class of homicides.
But unless this wicked man either
stops travelling for the present or de.
sists from his evil practices we shall
expect before very long to hear of his
death. After voting for Blaine or
Cleveland seven or eight hundred
times it would not be wonderful if
some Commercial drummer should
lay violent hands upon that man
with the hat or one of his accom-
plices. In that case the verdict Of
the jury would tie excusable homi-
eide under justifiable excitement.

The following gossippy paragraph
we lind In the Morning Journal:
An attempt Is being made by certain
plumed organs to SHOW that Gov
ernor Cleveland is an isolated man.
They say he is q plodder, a recluse, a
leader whom men fight shy of, an
official hermit. Those who know
the handsomest Governor best assert
that he is one of the %jolliest of men.
There are two kinds OF jolly man
the man who is hail fellow well met
with everybody and the man who
only lets himself out to those he
knows. The Democratic nominee
belongs to the latter. The first may
be the more popular; the second is
tho man to tie to. It is, therefore, a
pity that he remains matrimonially
united.

Here is a straw given u from the
city of Cleveland which shows the
direction Of the wind in Ohio: On
the 18th ult. there was a special cleo
tion in the Twenty-tirst Ward of that
city, and the local leaders of both
parties, regarding the event as an
important preliminary skirmish of
the State campaign, did their best to
carry the ward. They were spurred
to unusual effort by the further con
sideration that the victorious party
would gain control Of the city coun-
ell. The result was $50 votes for the
candidate to sos for the
Republican. In that ward, at the
election last April. the Re-
publicans had $50 and the Democrats
Sill. Ihe Cleveland Pqindealer
says: ITO f.il to carry a strong Re-
publican ward at the very outset of
the campaign is not particularly en-
to the managers of the g.
