THE BLUE VASE.

planned to him that my colors would not do
for burning on porcelain, and he laughed
and said that he did not need them for that
purpose, but for covering temporarily blem-
ishes on porcelain already burned.
Q. Have you any Of that bluea A. Yes, l
rubbed some on paper, here it is.

called an old woman named Frosch-hammer.

if he could swear that the blue on the hand

That concluded the case for the defense.
In a few words Aldbury pointed out the
salient features: the fact that Hirsch had
been in charge of the vase; that he had in his
hands at the tirne the gold paint wherewith
the inscription was written; that immedi-
ately after the burning, the vase had been

the Inscription; and that he had himself
wiped away the paint so as disclose it to the

Hirsch was ordered to be arrested.

Hurrah for Sherman,

Mr. John Sherman's boom is built upon shifting sands, the mercenary and tricky delegations from southern states and the perfunctory pledges of Ohio. Forakers humorous promise to stand by Sherman at Chicago until the buttons fall off from Sherman's coat was evidently made on the thecry that the hungry Sherman dele gates will soon pull off his coat buttons in their importunate demands. The patch upon Foraker's coffee sack war brooches is secured by good deal stronger thread than holds MT. Sherman's coat buttons. And the Ohio delegation to the national convention is held to MT. Sherman by a much weaker and thinner thread. ..
 The trouble with the Pinkstonian states mans boom is that he has no popularity, and though frugality has made him a millionaire, he is still much too frugal to spend freely of his substance for votes that might be subject to transfer without the consent of the purchaser. He is not like the Michigan aspirant, Governor AL ger, who appears frankly in the capacity of millionaire. MT. Blaine might be nominated for love; but MT. Sherman Is not likely to be nominated either for love or money. And all the counting of votes in which his henchmen are now engaged is a vanity.

 Senator Ingalls, tries to explain that when he spoke of Mcclellan and Hancock as allies of the confederacy, he referred to their political and not their military careers. That is far too small hole to crawl into, in view of the fact that he declared in his speech that Mcclellan tried for four years, 1S61-64, to make the war failure. Per haps that is what he was doing at An tietam. .--
 A most peculiar crime was recently committed at Newport, Neb. John Peters, a farmer, attempted to steal the roof from the house of Henry Winkleman, a neigh Dor. He had partially succeeded when Winkleman discovered him and had him arrested. The only explanation which suggests itself for this curious attempt at grand larceny is that Peter wanted to pose as cyclone. -~.-l-.,-

THE president yesterday vetoed the house bill granting a pension to Georgia A. Stricklett. In this case it was alleged that the husband of the beneficiary died from epilepsy, caused by wounds of the face and head during the. war. The president says that, judging from the dates reported by the committee, the soldier was wounded before he entered the service He adds: Unless it shall be assumed the epilepsy was caused by the buckshot wound spoken of, and unless pension should be allowed because, if the soldier had not been killed in the altercation, he might have soon died from such epilepsy, this bill is entirely de- void of merit. Surely no one will serious ly propose that claim for pension should rest upon conjecture as to what would have caused death if it had not occurred in an entirely different way. The testi
 mony of the physician, who testified in this case that death was caused partially by epilepsy, suggests the extreme reckless ness which may characterize medical testi- mony in application for pensions.

THE New Jersey boom for William Walter Phelps is companion piece to the Kansas nomination to Ingalls,. Widely different in personal characteristics and experience, the Jerseyman is almost as un- likely to attain the presidency as the man from Kansas. The number of republican ''favorite sons" turning in all directions is so great that it is almost impossibls to fol- low the figures as the party kaleidoscope is moved. The New Jersey convention ex- pressed greater confidence in it's suggestion than that of Kansas. It did not name a second choice, but the impression is sedulously spread that the great majority of the party in the state expect that Phelps will have chance to give way to Blaine, to whom he has long been devoted. Amid the puzzles of current republican presidential politics one thing is only cer- tain-the disastrous defeat that awaits the party on election day,

REV MIR KNICKERBoCKER, of Meriden, is out with card to the Journal, in which pulpit last Sunday, that the standard of the Meriden High school had to be lowered in order to admit Catholic children, is correct, and that he will not back down from the position he has taken. On the other hand, Mayor Davis, acting school Visitor Pettee and Superintendent Pratt, all Protestants, declare that the statement is false. To back up his statement Princi- pal Pratt will tomorrow publish the off cial record of the recent entrance exami- nations to the school, giving the name of each pupil with his or her average. The situation is becoming interesting.

THE Woonsocket Reporter thinks tha prohibition does not prohibit in it's own state, as is illustrated by this incident. Last Thursday there were 1900 empty beer barrels at the Providence & Worcester local freight station ready for shipment to the breweries from whence they came. This represents $500 gallons, which were probably consumed in Woonsocket and vicinity within the past week." Probably Rhode Island republicans are not over anxious to enforce prohibition laws. They don't want to go dry.

National Democratic Convention.

The national democratic committee hay ing met in the city of Washington on the 22d day of February, 1888, has appointed Tuesday, the 9th day of June next at noon as the time chosen and the city of St Louis as the place of holding the national demo- cratic convention. H
 Each state is entitled to representation therein equal to double the number of its senators and representatives in the con gress of the United States. The Demo- crats of each organized territory and the District of Columbia are invited to send two delegates, subject to the decision of the convention as to their admission. All Democratic conservative citizens of the United States, irrespective of past political associations and differences, who can unite with us in the effort for a pure, economi- cal and constitutional government, are cor dially invited to join in sending delegates to the convention.

For War or for Peace?

E..-- For War or for Peace? ..a
 Nothing could moro forcibly illustrate the remarkable division of sentiment in the Republican party on living issues than its treatment of the so called southern question. While the more enlightened leaders of Republican opinion advocate g restoration of the fraternal ties which ought to bind together the citizens of Q common country, the apostles of discord, hatred and revenge continue, in the hope of reaping some partisan advantage, to advise policy of sectional agitation and unseemly strife. -.-.Tr
 That the current in Republ blicanism is toward prolongation of sectionalism can not be doubted in the light of recent plat form declarations. Protests from conser- vative Republicans and Independents are numerous, emphatic and eloquent, but they will not prove effective. The radical factionists, who have assumed direction of the party machine, have taken off the brakes of common sense. They have de- termined to appeal, not to the reason, the conscience and the good faith of their fel- low citizens, but to prejudice, to passion and to memories of controversies now happily past and laid to rest forever. What the effect of this determination on the fortunes of the party and it's candi- dates will be there is little room to doubt. It closes the door upon any Republican ef- fort to obtain southern support and 1t ranges the conservative business inter ests of the north firmly in opposition to the "bloody shirt" campaigners. Unfortu- nately for Republicanism, but fortunately for the country, the Republican party has elected to conduct the canvass with an issue in the foreground that must lead to 1 it's certain defeat and to its ultimate dis ruption. It has enlisted for the war when there is no war.-Brooklyn Eagle.
