Mn WILLIAM HYDE. who was yes
terday appointed postmaster 90 st.
Louis, was for nineteen years manar
ing editor of the Missouri RlpVjicdH,
and his connection with the paper in
various capacities covered period Of
twenty .nipe years. lie was indorscd
and recommended for postmaster by
both of the Missouri Senators and eleven
out of the twelve Democratic representa-.
tives, while the press of Missouri was
almost unit for him. Besides he was
backed by nearly all of the officials of
st. Louis and many of the leading bus.
iness and professional men of that city

THE Boston Globe comes out as an
anti Administrator paper because Col
onel Leverett Saltonstall, an ancient
and esteemed Democratic silk-stocking
gentleman, has been made collector of
the port of Boston. The GlJJe wanted
one of the boys appointed and is nat

Office as collector of the large port Of
Boston go to gentleman who is Mug
wumpian in his Democracy. The
Globe should consider, however, that
human antiquities, though always in
teresting, cannot live forever Give
the antique chance while it yet abideth
with us.

for Yale. Professor Gilman is an ac.
tive, progressive educator, and his
energy and capabilities would be very
valuable to Yale, which has scarcely
kept up with the times. 1t has been
greatly through Professor Gilman that
Johns Hopkins University has reached
its high standard.

the author is our own Homeric Joyce.
On the cover of the volume is beauti-
full picture of the Colonel when young,
mounted upon his winged Pegasus.
Joyce, as thus represented, has on
fewer clothes than he now wears. Our
book reviewer has taken a week off in
order to do the volume full justice.
LIEUTENANT ARNOLD is an efficient Off

sometimes happens even to the best of men,
that their zeal in good cause miscarries.
