SUNDAY SALAD.

The reading of the ill-tempered dis
disease of the late emperor of Germany
may well be indefinitely postponed.
The controversy will never be settled,
and ought never to have been begun.
Kings and emperors have died, and the
doctors have wrangled over their cases
before. The cCnqueror worm has been
the only victor of the contest. In few
years it will all be the same.

In October of last year DR.. PAUL
GIDIER, of Paris, was sent by the
French government to Havana to search
for yellow fever microbes. He now
claims to have discovered the microbes
in the alimentary canal of certain vic
tins, and will pursue his investigations
at Jacksonville. He confidently ex-
poets to verify the conclusions already
reached, and in due time to announce a
certain specific remedy.

Miss JULIA BECK aged twenty-three,
suicided in Kansas City last week be-
cause she considered her face too
hOmely, though it is said she was really
attractive. The ruling desire of her
life was manifest to the last. In the
note she left was written: LAY my
body out with my face turned to the
left, so that the mole on my cheek won
show, and fix me up to look NICE"

Iah,, &c Do,,l ruhn has
lived at intervals in various other cities,
denies the assertion, made in last Sun
days GLOBE, that the streets of our
municipality are not safe for the passage
of ladies at night. 81 frequently walk
the streets after II o'clock" she says,
''unattended aud under various circum-
stances. and though naturally timorous
/ am never afraid. The experience OF
all of my lady friends is the same, so
far as l know. Every night see along
Wabasha, Seventh and other thorough
fares scores of girls walking alone and
without trepidatlon. and have never
seen one of them Extensively accoSted or
approached. 1t is quite true that ladies
who walk the streets at midnight with
out escorts attract attention. but their
appearance invariably denotes their
character, and if they do not invite in
suit they seldom receive 1t. There are
plenty of cities where ladies can not
with safety traverse the streets after
nightfall, but my experience leads me
to believe that st. Paul is not one of
them"

AMELIE RIyEs-CHANLER is said to
be not without the very common super
stition among the people of the South
who have been reared amidst darby
''mammas" and ''uncleS." She carries
in her reticule a silver-mounted rabbit
foot, to which, it is said she half-earn-
estly attributes much of her ''luck."

The announcement that RUTHER-
FORD B. HAYES declined to speak at a
Republican meeting in Ohio the other
day is about the only reminder the
country has had for some time that this
is the man who was president of the
United States only eight years ago.
Presidents, like other men, strut their
brief hour and are no more. Somehow,
after their terms have expired, they
seem to sink into an obscurity from
which they are seldom raised. Only the
best Informed can tell, without investi-
CATION, what became of ANDREW JACK
son, after he left the White house.
And VAN buren,. And FILLMORE.
And PIERCE. And JOHNSON. Thirty
years ago the name of DAVID r. ATCH-
IsoN. senator from Missouri, was as
frequently in the mouths of the people
as that of JAMES G. BLAINE is to-day.
He was acting president OF the United
States for one day, and recognized as one
of the ableSt members of the senate
when CLAY, WEBSTER and CALHOUN
sat in it. And when he died, three years
ago, leading newspaper of his own
state gravely announced the death of
SAMUEL" r. ATCHsoN. Every four
years the people run half-distracted in
an effort to elect a man to the presiden-
cy, and the successful candidate is the
recipient of as much attention for the
next four years as the Ruler of the
Universe. Then he fails almost into
oblivion, and is scarcely mentioned
until he dies. Then the worms eat him.
And the years pass by.
And now Editor HENRY, Of James
vile, comes forward with demonstra-
ton that divorce is failure.

Oskaloosa, Kan, has city govern
ment whose members are all ladies.
The other evening some graceless
wretches took out the lady mayors
husband, filled him up with imported
Missouri whisky, and had some fun
with him. Upon being arraigned be-
fore her honor, the following day, he
was let off rather easily. the jndgeSs re-
marking, with grim significance, that
he had already been fairly well pun
isned.
