Pete,s Icfcles,

Pete was Kansas immigrant com the
 South, in which climate he had never
 seen weather sufficiently cold to form an icicle. The farmer he hired out b gave Pete instructions one day to go |, the wood-shed and tell Jake, a Noathern
 "nig," to remove the icicles frora the barn. The word icicles staggered Pete. However, he kept muttering the sen- tence, "De eye sycles in de barn." until, when he reached the woodshed, the sen- tence was so inextricably mixed tbat he stood for a few moments looking at Jake, expecting he might anticipate the mes- sage and relieve the old man of his diff culty. Finding no relief in Jake's stare of inquiry he launched out with, "Look hyar, you Jake, de mass'r tole me to tole you, dat you wor to-to-ar-to re- move de barnacles in de ice you hyar? ?" Jake::droppsd his ax, and, scratching his wool1y pate, queried, De whaticIes in de whar ?" Didn't tole yer as plain as your underlip, de bicycles from the yarn ?" "You said muffin O de kine you said do obstacles in de ice house. 1" I tell you, nigger, wot tole you was de .housicals from de barnacles. " Look hyar, you Southern galoot, you is a whimsical and nonsensical fool, an you is gittin' too quizzical to suit dis chile. know wot you's d1ivin' at de mass'r tole you to tole me to chop de wood darned quick, an dat's wot I'm doin' an don't you forget it." "Wel, Jake, knew it wor somefn like dat, but press my soul if l could jist git de exac' vocabulary"

PAsTE.-A correspondent of Nev Remedies gives the following recipe for paste for use in prescription books and labels: "I dissolve half an ounce of alum in pint of boiling water; to this I add an equal weight of flour, made smooth in little cold water, and a few drops of oil of cloves, letting the whole come to a boil. This paste will keep months. l put it in glass or ordinary ointment jars. This paste is handy, too, for domestic purposes. My children have many toys that come in wooden boxes, but these will break at the corners and soon come to pieces. When a box begins to give out l take piece of cambric or calico, and, with the brush and paste, cover the box so that it will bear constant usage for months. Then, if the cover gives out, I pull it off and put on another one. Again, dolls arm or leg comes of; but 8 piece of muslin and bit of paste re- stores the article, so that it is as good as it was before"

tance-ls not distant; and the same paper
declares in its Washington correspons

of leading democrats, in which the part

out to the president, and the proposition
frankly presented that he must have
either a democrat or mugwump admin,

democratic party will decline to stand at
his back.
1t is difficult TO believe that there have
been such conferences. There may have
been good deal of casual conversation
to that effect, but the formal conference
is yet to be held. The president has not
done badly so far, and he has had great
deal to do. The danger lies in the policy
to come rather than in that which is past
or which now exists. In behalf of that
there might very reasonably be confer

be led to believe, as a result of his dis

The Prince Made Fool of Himself.

LONDON, May l4-Society circles in
Rome are agtated over scandal in high
life Prince Torlsnia, the mayor of Rome,
was betrothed 70 the Princess Leitzia,
daughter of Prince Jerome Napoleon Bona
parte (Plon-Plon) OF course a marriage
between such high-contracting parties could
not be solemnizsd without the consent of
thescrown. but King Humbert resolutely
refused to sanction the match. The ground
of hi refusal was that the prospective
bridegroom, although new an Italian prince
ling, is really bourgeois, his present dignity
having been acquired by the purchase of
certain vineyards and other lands which
carried with them the princely title. the
prince was furiously enragei, and he went
to Florence, married a woman who had
formerly been his mistress, brought her to
Rome, and installed her as the head of his
household in the palazzo of the municipal

right. The republican taunt that the
president is filling places abroad as res
publican president would is knocked in
the head by the other republican taunt
that his favorites are exsconfederates; but
there is a shadow of truth in the PROPOSE
ton that he is unfair so far as the demo-
cratic party as whole is concerned, and
it must not be permitted to grow longer.
The people voted for radical change
and there must be such change. They
voted the republican party out and the
democratic party in. The mugwumps
who stand between these parties are OF
very little consequence, and at all events
they have not the right of possession 10
half the extent that the democratic party
has. If there have been conferences with
this principle in view they perhaps have
been premature. 1t is to be hoped that
thew will not be necessary, but if they be-
come so they will not be long postponed.
