Rhipopod Arthur.

Rhisopod Arthur.
With the election Of William M.
Evarts to the United States senate,
Mr.. Arthur will, at the end OF the
term for which Garfield was elected,
return to the obscurity from which he
emerged through an oversight of the
grace of God and by favor Of Roscoe
Conkling.
The su 'cession to the presidential
Office which made Mr.. Arthur tenn
porarily, "His Accidency," offers a
solemn warning to future conventions
about placing upon tho presidential
ticket nobody for the tail.
The Republicans of the United
States must rejoice that the sensible
action of the New York legislature
has taken out of the grange of possibility
any chance of this pretentious m,dl-
Ocrity ever coming before them upon
national question.
While, as Democrats, we might pre-
fer to have as our opponent in presi-
Dental contest an IL fiated bladder of
pompOus nothingness, rather than a
man of sterling ability, ut this day,
remote as It'll from another campaign,
we may safely deplore Tor the common
pride of our country that such men as
Mr.. Arthur should ever for moment
be seriously considered in connection
with so exalted an office.
Mr.. Arthur would be a good
enough make-shlft if this country
cared to emulate England if
The occupant of the highest position
were vent-peg, a stop-cock, a dunn
my.
Indeed, there is a strong similarity
between Mr.. Arthur and the Prince Of
Wales, and Mr.. Arthur is welcome 10
all the qualification he can draw from
the comparison. %
MIR. Albert, like Mr.. Arthur, is q
very polite gentleman; he impresses
those around him with profound
sense Of the honor he coniers upon
them by taking their hand ostentati-
ously and bowling with large and la-
bored stateliness.
MIR. Albert, like Mr.. Arthur, listens
to those seeking audience with II heavy
eyed solemnity that is intended to con-
vey the notion of profound attention
and deep thought,
Mr.. Albert, Like Mr.. Arthur, likes to
sit diwn with one or twu
cronies and fill himself to reple.
ton with the fat-literally with the
fat-of the land; to pile VI
choice dishes and eat as much as posi-.
BILE.
Mr.. Albert, like Mr.. Arthur, likes
to feel the mellow good nature that
comes of vinOus proiusion.
MIR. Albert, like Mr.. Arthur,
likes to sleep Off the hazy re,
collections Of early dawn Till fal
into noon; and neither affairs OF
state, the duties of society, or the
claims OF friends are permitted to dis,
turb the cobweb drowsiness OF heavy
breathing slumber.
Mr.. Albert, like Mr.. Arth lr, has a
weakness for good drinks, for good
clothes, for good beds, for good wine
for good carriages, for women's 30.
