Mr. Labouchere gives five excellent explanations
| Of Mr.. Gladstones defeat We know of five better
reasons; five centuries of race prejudice against
| Ireland 1t was too much to expect that so many
| centuries Of prejudice would be overcome by Mr.
Gladstone in the course of seven months.
| Mr. Garland always laughs when anybody refers
to the Pan-Electric stock held by him. These vet
eran poker players invariably evince grim sense
of humor IN connection with their heaviest losses
and most reckless ventures. But il Mr. Garland
chuckles when the subject is mentioned, every
| reputable Democrat in Congress scOwls and groans
There IS a general conviction on the part OF the
| leaders of the so-called reform party that Pan
Electricity has ceased to be funny-that 1t has be-
come, in fact, what Mr.. Thackeray used TO term
horrible pleasantly.
Colonel Glider. the Arctic explorer, is the victim
of rival royalties. The North King with mystic
spell lures him to the eternal Businesses OF snow
and the Water Queen holds him In port in al anx-
Gus quest for bail.
Adversely seems to have an Ill effect upon Mr.
M,rrlsons nerves When Mr. Hscock asked
HIM a sim pie little question the other day, albeit
rather embarrassing one as to why he was array
ing himself against his own party administration,
he tartly made answer That is none of your bust
ness Ii pains us to see the inventor of horizon
tai tariff reduction giving way to his irrltability
Such a universal philanthropist rs he is should
cultivate sweetness of temper
A fierce circus riot occurred in Pennsylvania the
other day. This shows that there still survives
in remote villages the mysterious anmosity toward
circus people which forty years ago used to be gen
era in the South and West, and which at that time
caused the tour of a circus TO resemble lively
campaign in an enemy's country.
The adjournment of Congress is not likely to
come before the middle of August, but then there's
one consolation-this isn't cholera season.
The fact that Young Mr. Graham succeeded in
safely passing through tho Whirlpool Rapids at
Niagara Falls in patent barrel is full of encour-
acement to Mr. Ceyelands reform Attorney-Gen-
eral of the United States. Mr.. Garland has been
desperately endeavoring for many months to stem
the swelling tide of public opinion. lie has made
no Roadway The tide has been TOO much for him.
he Is approaching the Whirlpool Rapids of uni
yersal condemnation at fearful rate. WHAT'S to be
done Let Garland cali Justify Tor Grahan.
Perhaps Graham will lend him one of his patent
barrels 1t is not certain that the barrel would be
becoming to Garland. but then nobody would ex-
pect him to be photographed in 1t.
Dairy Commissioner Brown declares that oleo-
MARGARINE is indgestible. So all other frauds
to an homes stomach.
Mr.. ParnelPs positive and somewhat indignant
declaration that he has no connection with the
Fepians in any shape. open, secret Or implied, is
no more than everybody believes who sees how
entirely at variance are bis methods with those
of the revolutionists. His best reply to Lord
Harrington would be that none are so blind as they
who will not see.

monent of heated term inadvertency represented

Albany plotted Shanahan and Cleveland to employ
800 extra men on the canals in 1854" etc. The
remark was made by one OF our esteemed contem

1t is not much that fifty acres of wheat have
But to many il may seem an omilous clrcum-
stance that the destruction has been effected by
grasshoppers. Nobody can tell whether vast
army is behind tho small troop which has appeared
or in what direction it may move. But 1t is too
late In the season. considering the slow rate at
which these insects march across the country when
they do come in force, for them to prove very de-
structive to wheat this year. Is tho appearance
Of one small army any evidence that an invasion in
force is to occnr Almost every year ncursions OF
grasshoppers ailict localities at the West but
the injury is usually confined to very narrow limits.
The great periodic invasions are a very different
matter. The reports of injury to wheat continue
and there seems to be no doubt that the extremely
hot and dry weather IN the tar Northwest is doing
harm every day. But tho reliable statements
to tho condition of tho growing grain relate
to narrow localities only. and 1t Is still question
