 how unprofitable is her policy of foreign adventure exemplified in Madagascar and Tonquin.
 The doctors are indignant at the idea of General Grants dis ease not beng 8 cancer after all. Yet it is likely to turn out to be simply an ulcerated sore throat.
 There have been four Presidents m Panama since January, and an office-seeker there has to hump himself to find out to whom he must apply fer a position. They are very rapid people down in South America.
 A gentlemen who knows says that there will be large travel 10 this coast during the Summer. He said further that there were already fifteen excursion parties organized and that they would pass through Yuma during the next sixty days.
 President Cleveland's private Secretary, MT. Lamont, has suc- eumbed to the effects of over work, and this in the period of less than two months. The men, tai and physical strain upon the President is also very great. Per~ haps they both sigh for the banks of the Hudson.
 The most elegant way to eat an orange is no longer to extract the juice with a spoon, but to put a fork in the orange precisely oppo- site the stem.

 A newspaper correspondent writes that there is not chimney anywhere in Mexico, as far as he has seen, and their absence gives an odd aspect to the architecture, like that of Arabian towns. No house has fireplace or a stove, for it is never cold, but the kitchen is equipped with a sort of ungaiuly brick or stone rauge, ten or fifteen feet long, having holes for pots and kettles, and in which charcoal is burned. The fumes escape by the open doors and windows. Charcoal is almost the only fuel in Mexico, except in the Northern states.
 In returning promptly to his old business, MT. Arthur follows an excellent example and evinces due regard for the fundamental principles of our democratic sys> tenn. He is now a single citizen, and has no further claims for SUD- port on the Government. It is one Of the most wholesome and edify- ing features of our method of Gov ernment that once a President has served out his term in the greatest office on earth he quietly mingles again with the people and becomes as distinctly pri> vate citizen as any of his neigh bors. This is precisely as it should be.
 The breach of promise suit of Miss Louise 0. Perkins against E. J. Baldwin, the millionaire, for $500, 1000 for breach of promise, in Los Angeles, looks as though there would be some interesting details forthcoming. The plaintiff is a handsome, petite girl, about twenty years of age, who alleges in her complaint that she has a promise "in black and white" from Baldwin that he would marry her. She further alleges that she came to this city some five years ago with him, for the purpose of being educated at his expense, but that he took her to the Palace Hotel and told her he wanted to marry her. On q promise of marriage she yielded to his wishes. After many ap- peals from her mother, whose sus- picions were aroused, she returned to Los Angeles and went to work in dry goods store. Anonymous
