TOURISTS must beware how they dress at
the Hague. A young English lady, who
dared to wear q felt bowler hat, such as the
fair sex in this country SO often appear in,
was positively taken off to the police station

peace, on the pretence that the people
thought she was q male student in woman's
clothes.-London Figaro.
MRS. LOGAN is still the popular idol and
many women who went TO see her on her
first reception days this winter broke down
at the sight OF her, and went away with tears
in their eyes to think the way the election
had gone. Although Mrs. Logan bad to bear
the severest disappointment of her life in
June and again in November, she has never
shown a sign OF it nor cherished any bitter
ness. She is as evenly sunny and cheerful
through it it all, and has more good friends
now than ever

Neither California nor Nevada have had

TOLERABLY THIN.

Oh, 1t was the foods of 1883 which pre-.
vented Governor Porter from reporting his
list of pardons, combinations of sentence,
ETC., TO the Legislature. He was engaged in
the sntediluvian labor of preparing the re-
port when he was interrupted by summons
to attend to the wants of the sufferers by the
great overflow in the Ohio valley. All of
which was highly commendable on the part
of our good ex-governor. But now let us
get down to st-diluvian times. We pass
by without comment q trip or two to
Chautauqua which was probably necessary to
reouperate the Gubernatorial energies, and
cali the attention of the Republican
organ to the fact that this list OF
pardons might have been very readily pre-
pared several times last summer when the
ex Governor was perambulating the oountry
in the interest of one James G. Blaine, Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency. 1t
will be noticed, therefore, that the excuse
which has been finally smoked ont OF the
organs is remarkably thin in view of the
virtuous rigors which have recently nearly
shaken them to pieces. Some sort
of Noah's ark is very handy
when the floods are ''on," and the organs
with the Ex-Governor seem to have climbed
in on schedule time.
However, we are assured that the State
Printer has the list of pardons in hand, and
peIchance before the violets bloom or the
daisies die it viii be ready for the considera.
ton OF the present Legislature or-its sue
cessor.

A NEW YORK special says that when Mr..
Hendricks was in that city he said to
friend that he was assured by his call az
Albany that no man had yet been offered a
place in the Cabinet and that every state
ment giving this or that man a certain port
folio was simply speculation. The Presi-
dent, he said, seemed to be getting the
clearest views he could from the leading
men without making any promises. His
hurried call, he declared, was due to the
fact that he was going South. aud would not
be able to see the President again until Just
before his Inauguration.

THE NEW CALIFORNIA senate

THE NEW CALIFORNIA SENATOR.
The people of the Pacific Coast country
must be devout worshipers OF the golden
calf If we may judge them by the material
of which they are wont to make United
States Senators. California and Nevada
have preferred men for the Senate who are
almost as conspic nous for lack of brain as
for abundance of doodle" The latest
California man, Leland Stanford, would,
without his millions, have no more been
thought of for Senstorship than for a
bishopric. At the time of his election he
was known 10 be broken down man, ment-
ally as well as physically. 1t Is an open
secret that ne has no further capacity for
for public business, and that the probabilities
sre largely in favor of his proving an sb.
sentee. Reports from San Francisco since
the death of his son indicate Senator STAN
ford to have fallen into q state of mind but
little less than idiotic. For his sufferings
from this bereavement OF course the public
will extend sympathy. But the mental
weakness which has developed into idiosyn-
cracy was known to exist when his election
occurred. 1t is alleged that he is so infected
with spiritualism as to find little pleasure in
talking OF anything else. He forces the
subject upon comparative strangers and
tells OF his assurance that his son is near
him. 1t is told Of him that few days since
be met stranger on the street and without
an introduction began telling of his belief,
that his sole hope was in his firm confidence
in the Immortality OF the soul and that he
had no further aims ia life. When spoken
to by friend concerning the Senatorship

Whittier are we Driffing2

A few months ago, in the parish
OF st. Mary a man named Hughes
coolly and deliberately shot and
killed IA IL year old boy, who was
driving Il cart along the public
highway, and fired two or more
shots at his brother who was -
Gaping into a cane field. This was
done without any cause or provoca
ton. The murdered boys step
father, hearing of the act took IA
double barrel shotgun went on the
road and shot at Hughes urfortu
nately missing him. Hughes, drop
I'ed from his horse on the ground,
and lay there as if dead. linus he
escaped the contents OF the second
barrel in the hands of the boys
avrnger.
Hughes was brought before the
District Court where his lawyers
made nc denial of the wilful murder
that he committed but. asked for IA
verdict of manslaughter. on the
plea that Hughes was too drunk to
have been conscious of the crime
that he was committing, and a jury
was found stupid enough to bring
in such a verdict. Hughes was too
drunk to know what he was doing
when no murdered the boy, but in
half an hour afterwards he was so
Der enough to play 'possum when
shot at.
Such pleas were listened to so
years ago but it is "A new thing to-
day to bear of them having any eff
