OF course. there is no foundation for the report
that the Presidents desire to have Secretary
Manning remain in the Cabinet is due to an
anxiety to secure Manning's political supporters
in New York during the next campaign.
Neither President Cleveland nor Secretary Man
ming have been administering public affairs with
a view to political results. The campaign of
1888 has no more place in the Presidents
thoughts than the campaign of 1884.

ONE of the most beautiful girls in Philadel-
phia has had a strange adventure. A few nights
ago. after her real lover had kissed her fairly
dizzy at parting for the night, and before she
had gone up stairs to bed some one ran up the
steps and raped on thedoor Upon opening it
she was seized and forcibiy kissed a dozen or
more times before she realized what was trans
piring. We do not think this was an hallucina-
ton, though it is quite probable that the lady
was practically in state of ecstatic emotional
insanity from the treatment she had received at
the hands of her lover No, some wretch,
driven to madness by the fact that there are so
few pretty girls in Philadelphia, made a sneak
on this one and got in few kisses that did not
make his scalp wrinkle while gettng them.
