his first man because he knows him TO be honest

ford has long ranked among the most competent
and thoroughly equipped newspaper editors of the

The Whitechapel murderer ought to sue some
of our evening contemporaries for libel. They
have endeavored to discrcdt his ability and
skill as q butcher by representing him as hav-
ing taken TO his heels after lightly scratching
a woman's neck AS q murderer who is alike
thorough and neat in his methods, he undoubtedly
plumes himself upon his reputation as success
full artist who never makes bunglng work Of
job.
Garden and Forest publishes very inter
esting account of o novel design for a proposed
park few miles south Of Buffalo, the shore
Of Lake Erie more unpromising site for
pleasure ground could hardly be imagined. The
land is fiat and marshy, without rocks, trees or
any natural feature Of value. Even the beach
is q poor one since stratum of black muck
underlying it is constantly washing out and under
mining the shifting sand dunes. The land is
also submerged when there is high water and
much of it is little better than bog The
Olmsteads have profted by the distinctive dis
advantages Of the site and proposed an exceed
ingly original design. They contemplate the
conversion of 100 acres into lake with irregu-
IL til. de
tories. About twenty acres will be turfed as
playground and planted with trees, and space
is reserved for drives and athletic grounds.
Boating will be the chief attraction, and in order
to secure ample facilities for it, An artificial
haven will have to be constructed on the shore
of Lake Erie II the plan be carried out it
can hardly fail to be expensive, Notwithstanding
the low cost of the land. Buffalo will have.
however, in that event unique park with many
novel features in landscape architecture.

There is an omen Of practical good for Ireland
in Ito announcement that the wife OF the French
President and other ladies in Paris have taken to
wearing Irish laces. IL their example Is widely
initiated as it is likely to be, Irish laces Will
become fashionable again, and great industry
that has languished long will be revived. Nor
will there, as of old, be any serious obstacle
placed in its way in England. Indeed, there is in
London strong advocacy and encouragement OF
Irish lace making, not only among the Home Rule
Liberals, but on the part Of such stern, I'M
bending Tory as the Duke OF Abercorn. BY the
Ashbourne Land-Purchase Act by substantial aid
to the fisheries and now by at least moral support
of lace manufacture, England is making some
reparation, though slight and tardy, for her long
Injustice TO Ireland and TO Irish industries.

no fewer than thirty men lat different places
and under different circumstances" Perhaps the
Captain was the man that Artemus Ward once
described He told me-" said Artemus, that
he was reformed muIderer-that he hadn't killed
a man for nearly a month"
