The Republicans are kept ~ Ou9J at
tending to the pickles in their own family
lars that they have little time or DISPOSE
ton to rejoice over the slight evidences OF
fermentation in the Democratic jam.
Gen. Pope is said to be making himself
quite popular on the Pacific coast. 1t Is
well. If the Fitz John Porter bill be-
GENES a law, POpe's only chance for vim
dication is to whOop up the Stalwarts and
run for President.
There will be some curiosity to know
what Mr.. Frelinghuysen's secret infor-
nation is respecting the action alleged
TO have been taken by Minister West to
render Intellectual the House resolution
asking for reprieve for O'DCnnell.
Although German eggs are selling in
the New York market at 30 cents per
dozen. the American hens appear to have
formed a pool to limit the production.
They are evidently thoroughly imbued
with the doctrines Of the monopolists.
The New York World is becoming very
refined after fashion. Instead of calling
the Herald a thief and coward and shee-
nev. il corrects the misrepresentation Of
its contemporary by merely saying,
Brother Benefits paper lies under
mistake"
The country is informed that Gen. Sher-
man calls letters on which the postage Is
not fully prepaid ''tramp letters" and
refuses to take them out of the post office.
Those who wish to send him valentines
weighing over half an ounce had best
stick on the stamps accordingly.
Mr.. Evarts has been bold enough to say
that the surest way for the Republicans
To carry New York is to take some one
else than a New Yorker for candidate.
Mr.. Evarts knows all about the family
troubles among the Republicans in his
State, and this admission on his part Is
not without great political significance.
4 speciaI telegram to the MORNING
NEWS from Atlanta states that Gov.
Mcdaniel has nominated Capt. ID. G..
Bacon. of this city, as Commissioner to
the Worlds Cotton Exposition ut New
Orleans. with Mai. Chas. H. Smith Bill
Arp) of Barlow county. as alternate.
No better men could have been selected.
Mahone's bloody shirt speech in the
Senate Tuesday appears to have been his
answer to the Virginia resolution asking
him to resign. He is not apt to give up
position in which he can periodically
serve the country at $1,000 year, and at
the same time have an opportunity to give
the better people of Virginia an occasional
stab.
Gen. Simon Cameron, according to the
newspapers. is at Hot Springs. in Utah,
and in Texas, while Gen. Hancock last
week was i'm Mississippi, Memphis and
StLouis at the same time. During the war
twas thought that Stonewall Jackson was
the only truly ubiquitous General, but
they are quite common in these piping
times of peace.
The Nashville AD,eriedn says: ''Mrs.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, has reduced
travelling to science. She went to New
York the other day for a visit Of two
weeks. and her only baggage was small
hand sateheI." This is doubtless an
error. Mrs. Brown perhaps had her bag
gage checked through from her home.
She has not vet learned the Nashville
style of rolling trunks down to the depot
in wheelbarrows.
An item to this effect is going the rounds
Of the papers: Life is full of 'cOmpensa-
tions. The frost in the South, which has
DESTROYED the vegetable gardens. has
killed the cut worms and grubs as WELL"
1t is a well known fact that grubs and
worms are more injurious in seasons sue
ceeding a cold winter. The people of
Georgia will not soon forget the destruc-
ton caused by the bud worms and cotton
caterpillars in 1881.
An able Republican Journal says:
ssWhenever Democratic organ is cor
nered on the tariff or civil service reform,
it flies of on a tangent and goes to
abusing keifer.' Ii is a sad fact that
about the hardest cuffs Keifer has re-
ceived have been given by the Republic
cans. The Democrats have cheerfully
conceded him the position to which, as
leader of the Republican party, he seemed
40 be entitled. He is not the only Repub-
lican leader that will be investigated and
made to vince.
If reports are true there promises to be
"a great revolution in photography before
long. Z. W. Fellows, of Cleveland, o., is
said TO have invented a process of taking
instantaneous and permanent photo
graphs on any smooth surface by the ac-
ton of electricity. 1t is especially APP
plicable to Autobiography, and the cost
is claimed to be less than one cent for each
picture. The process was first made
public on Monday last, and will be pro-
teeted by patents, and full account OF 1t
published IN the scientific journals.
tits reported that the combination that
was entered into some time since between
the American and European manufacture
ers Of sulphate of quinine has collapsed,
and that prices in New York are down to
about the lowest point on record. Ger
man is quoted at 81 40 per ounce, and
American at 81 go. People in malarial
sections viii be glad to hear Of this. The
annual consumption of quinine in the
country Is much greater than IS generally
believed. and even a slight decline IN
priee saves the consumers in the aggre-
gate thousands Of dollars annually.
Henry Irving adopted new plan OF ad- |
vertising in st. Louis. He was rendered
a reception by the Elks, the most aristo-
cratic club in the city. He only stayed
about half an hour, looked terribly bored, |
and slipped away without saying good
night The EIks had treated him with /
great courtesy and assisted in making his
appearance in St. Louis a success. Just
before ne left the city he recommended an
old actor friend of his to the Elks for as
distance. The club sent reply suggest
inc that be was fully able TO take care Of
his own pauper friends, and 50 the Els
aud the actor parted even.
