The next shipwrecked sailor who feels
like having fresh boy tor dinner will
doubtless decide TO 90 fishing before COM
hitting murder and cannibalism.
some OF Blaine's friends say that he
will make a European tour next year,
and that he will never enter politics
again. The returns from Texas appear
to nave reached him at last.
There are indications that the telephone
viii before long begin to be an active
rival Of the telegraph. The proposed tele-
uhOne lines between New York and Phila-
delphia are to be open by July, loo9.
Prof. Perry. Of Williams College, says
the Republican party Is dead, and ne
predicts that it will never 90 into an
ether Presidential contest. The little
comm0tion made by the party is no evil
dence Of life. The tail Of a dead snake
never quits sqUirming until sunset.
The negroes on Long Island, y. Y, have
again begun their Outrages. Instead Of
merely robbing and killing the women,
however, they are captivating and clipping
with them every once IN a while. The ey-
Olution Of the negro in that part Of the
Union seems to be only question OF time.
The Little Rock train robbers appear to
have made terrible mistake. They
overlooked the fact, while laying the
plans which worked so nicely, that train
robbing is a capital Ofrense under the
laws OF Arkansas. They are now sorry
that they did the deed. and especially that
they got caught.
The Iynchfng Of Charles Stevens alias
"Omaha Charley" at Marysville, Mo-, on
Tuesday morning. recalls the incident Of
his pardon by Gov. CTittenden last winter
in answer TO the deathbed request Of the
Governors little daughter. the Governor
was severely censured for the release OF
the prisoner, especially after he had COM
mitted another murder.
It's stated that the Republican candi-
4 .see n Ten
nessee. who pledged themselves not to
serve or draw their salaries in case they
should be elected. have recOnsidered the
matter since they have been elected. and
deny that they ever specifically made such
a pledge. The Democrats who helped
elect them doubtless feel like they have
been sold out At a very low price.
DR.. Loriue. Chief Of the Department OF
Agriculture, has been censUred for print
ing a report on the condition of agricul-
ture i'm Mexico. This is uncalled for. 1t
j. important that the farmers Of the
United States should know what is being
done by those OF adjoining countries, and
whatever censure DR.. LOring may justly
deserve, he should be commended for the
computation anu pruning u AAAS x A'e-e
relating to Mexican agriculture.
Mrs. sue A. Burke. wife OF Director
General Burke, Of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exposition. was the recipient Of one
OF the most notable serenades on record
the other evening. The Eighth Cavalry
Band. Mexican, now in the Crescent City
in connection with the Mexican exhibit,
gave the serenade under special orders
from President Diaz. The band consists
Of 60 pieces, and the lady so hOnored was
entertained by vocal IS we'll as the best
Of instrumental music.
As a ''retired" General of the army
Grant would get from the Treasury 70 per
cent Of the salary paid that officer when
on active duty, which is SIS, 500 per year.
This would secure him $40, 12j per annum
for the balance Of his life, and in case
back paw should be allowed him, he would
draw for the sixteen years since his re-
signation in 1860, $l62,O 600. Should he be
so maguanimOus as TO waive the claim
for the eight years during which he was
paid 5000 for acting as President he
would draw SS1, coo for back pay.
1t is stated that Secretary Chandler,
and not Blaine, has obtained control Of
the Washington Republican, and will as
sumo the editorship after March 4. There
is a probability that Chandler viii be a
brisk bidder for the Republican nominal
ton in 1855, and that he will want to
have a good deal to do with shaping the
policy Of the party during the next four
years. The Democrats would like very
much to see him upon the tripod. He
would be a splendid target for their jour-
naIistic arrows, although he may not
think so.
There seems to be no probability that
Congress will pass the bill granting the
"trail'' for the national cattle drive from
Texas nOrthward, as it would withdraw
nearly 1900. 900 acres OF land from settle
ment. There is little doubt that the cat
tie men will before long be forced to build
one or more lines Of railroad for the pur-
pose Of hauling their cattle north. 1t is
probable that the shipping of the cattle
by rail Will not cost a great deal more
than driving does now. There are strong
indications that the cowboy will have to
evaeuate the West.
The alleged Peoples party in New York
is not exactly satisfied about the result OF
the election. The County Committee Of
the city has been anxiOusly mquIripg as
to what became of the 100000 of Doodle
money which was TO have been expended
there. The committee also wants to
know where the ], 200, 900 votes that were
pledged to Butler went TO. 1t is alleged
that the Tammany men who promised TO
talk for Cleveland and vote for Butler
sold the Peoples party out. 1t is due to
Tammany Hall to say that Mrs. Lock
wood has not yet charged it with
treachery.
The action Of Gen. Grant in requesting
the withdrawal Of the bill 10 grant him a
pension OF 5000 a year is not regarded
as an indication that he does not wish to
be b1leted on the Treasury. He is said
to be very anxious tor the passage Of the
