know, Mr. Thurman is not to be called upon to
do anything IN connection with the VicePres-

do will be to watch and see how gracefully and
eGectually his Republican competitor presides over

Mr.. Thurman could do that without imposing
too severe strain upon his system. The

The latest news from Stanley is vague, anu
satisfactory only in that it gives no cOnfirma-
ton to the reports of his death. Information
brought by deserters who left the expedition
at some indefinite time, is to the effect that
the natives had proved Unexpectedly hostile
and that the progress Of the expedition was
accompanied by continual fighting. Mr.
Stanley himself is said to have been severely
wounded with an arrow. 1t is possible that
out of this circumstance grew the rumors OF
the explorers death.

opponents of the measure have sucl
strong hope that it will meet with the
presidential objection that they think il
worth their pains to discuss the matter.
The New York Times in an editorial has
declared that it is about as bad piece OF
legislation as lobbyists, local greed, par
tisan spirit and cowardice combined could
construct. 1t makes the strong point
that the very title Of the bill embodies
false pretense, since the taxes collected
under the law of 1861 could not be re-,
funded'by any machinery that could be
contrived, save in few isolated cases.
1t is impracticable to pay the money back
to those who paid the taxes. The Times,
commencing Mr.. Cleveland firmness
and courage, says: ''It is, of course,
purely a matter of inference whether the
president will withhold his approval, but
the grounds for the inference that he will
do so are SO obvious and strong that there
is little risk in predicting Veto

service law, it is still q fact which no one
viii dispute, that neither independence
nor self-respect of the highest order are
usually found among Office holders. The
tenure is too uncertain, too much subject
to the vicissitudes of party supremacy
If young man has fair capabilities
and viii be reasonably energetic and in
dustrious, he is much more likely to have
home of his own and neat reserve in
bank by the time he is fifty by sticking
to his present employment, even If only
moderately remuuerative, than by seek
ing and accepting a government clerk
ship. 1t not infrequently happens that
men who have held such clerliships for
years are turned out only to find them
selves without the fitness OF experience
that would qualify them for any other
business position. Besides, there is little
chance for advancement in the great
departments, and as usual thing those
who hold such places save very little
money. All these are reasons why it is
not prudent for young men who have fair
prospects of winning success by their own
pluck and push to give them up and ac-
cept place under the federal govern
ment, with its uncerta mites, anXieties
and veXations. An active interest in
politics is one thing-that is every young
man s duty-federal Office holding is an
other and much less desirable matter,
as those who try it usually discover to
their regret.

EDINBURG, Dec. 20,-In the case of
Parnell against the London Times, the
court to-day considered proofs of the
validity of the arrest which had been
made by the plaintiff. Two Edinburg
advertising agents testified that the
sheriff had collected small Sums which
they owed the Times. Neither witness
knew who the proprietors of the Times
were. Their remittances were made to
Mr.. Wright, one of the proprietors.
Mr.. Lyman, representing the registrar
of newspapers, also member of the
house, proved that Mr.. Walter was not
the registered proprietor. having written
that there would be great difficulty in reg
istering the names of all whom the act
might construe as proprietors, because
some of the proprietors were minors,
some were married women and some re-
sided abroad. They also SAID that in
many cases the interest held was very
small. Mr.. Walter testified that his own
interest in the Times was one-siXteenth,
and half of the Offices printing business
run in connection Herewith were his.
Mr.. Zames, the Times solicitor, said
there were hundred proprietors of the
Times. The court adjourned to enable.

CABLE MESSAGES,
which, Judging by the bulk of them,
we're more fit to be delivered to news
paper than to an individual. These cable
messages, so the company claims, varied
III yaiue all the way between $40 and 81 so
each. The frequent receipt of such little
messages was an indication that the
sender, no matter in how high regard he
held Miss Templeton, cared very little for
money. Such, it would seem, develops
TO be the fact, for Fay received a nice
little bundle of money from her Howell,
and started at once TO join him.
MISS TE2iPLEToN's HISTORY,
while not long is exciting and varied.
Eight years ago she was not known out
side of q few cities and country towns
except as the child actress and daughter
of john Templeton, the manager. Her
father put her on the stage when she was
six years of age and she sang in comic
opera. As soon as she was old enough to
take woman's part, her father eStab-
lished her as prima donna in little
opera company that Travelled under the
name of the Fay Templeton Comic Opera
Company. The company was fairly
good, though nothing specially brilliant,
and played an engagement at the Peo-
PIES Theater in this city in December,
1888. at that time Miss Templeton used
to wear sort of horseshoe bonnet and
her photographs in this style became bet
ter known after she created go much talk
in the east and London. Her birthplace

Billy was at first "stuok'' on her, but
when, after their marriage, he discov-
cred that her head was as hairless as an
egg, he left her. This story, of course,
has absolutely no truth whatever in it,
but it only serves to show the extent to
which some people will go whdn they
grow laxative. When the MANAGE

sired to secure the services of Miss
Templeton for the show they corhmuni-
Gated with her bv cable. In August last
they perfected arrangements by agreeing
to paw her $500 per week, no expenses :,
and to ssfeature'' her, as the theatrical
people saw. She then came acrbss the
water, and brought with her a new batch
of gossip and short stories that have been
going the rounds ever since. She ii said

styles the history of the famous letter

states the letter was sent to the Sentinel
from Evansville by some unknown per-
son. There was nothing about
the letter by which the SEN
