In THE ancient time, when city was
destroyed, it was generally abandoned
without attempt to rebuild. Even the
site of many of them were lost sight of.
But that is not the modern way. All
the devastated towns of the Conemaugh
valley will be rebuilt, and in few
years the effects of the food will be as
completely effaced as are the marks on
the great battlehelds. The new Chicago
does not suggest the old. Still, it is a
good time for the people in the Penn
sylvania valley, who have lost about all
they had, to come West and leave be-
hind location that must always be as
ISOLATED in their minds with scenes of
horror. The West is the better region
to start anew in life.
THE report is again received from
London that the queen will abdicate at
an early date. She has reached her
threescore and ten years, and been on
the throue over half-century; but she
is buxom, wellpreserved old lady and
seems to rake some comfort i'll life, If
she is a widow and JOHN BROWN is
dead. 1t may be doubted that she will
ever step down. even to oblige her weary
son, who may we'll apprehend that she
will survive him. 1t would relieve
very dull monotony should she vacate,
and no doubt be very acceptable to the
English people. although nothing brill
liant would be expected from her snc-
cessOr.
THERE is delay in the accession OF
Mrs. CARTER, of Chicago, to the stage,
attributable to the alleged fact that her
engagement was conditioned upon her
getting a divorce. Her appeal defers
the opportunity to utilize the strong
points developed in the trial. 1t seems
to be assumed that any woman who
draws the crowd in the divorce court by
the development of picturesque deprav-
ity is fitted for dramatic star. The
stage mirrors the tastes of its vOtarieS,
whatever distortion nature may I'M
dergo, but it is not calculated to stir
sanity enthusias m to see it made sup
plement to the divorce court.
One day asst week, a party Of 1872
Mormon immigrants landed at Castle
Garden and were shipped directly to
Utah. There was no interference with
them by the officials. and probably no
legal opportunity for any. 1t Is pre-
sumed that the parties were victims of
deception and Misrepresentation, but
no laws on the subject of immigration
will apply. Similar companies gathered
by the agents of Mormonism in foreign
lands are often sent out to Utah to
swell the ''relic of barbarism." If there
is restriction upon any class of immi-
grants, this would seem to be one of
the cases for regulation.
TIE current report tina Mrs. CLEvE-
LAND is learning to fiddle, and likely to
become expert with the bow, is leading
to painful surmises and apprehensions
with some Republicans. They remem-
Der that not long since the fiddle was
political factor in Tennessee that led
the way to the White house. If their
forebodings persist in taking Ominous
form, it does not appear where.any relief
can be had. Whatever the charming
lady undertakes she always does well,
and a good many people would like to
dance to her music.
The scheme has been adopted in some
of the Eastern cities of selling beer by
weight There may be some cOnven-
fence in this, as the consumer can be
weighed before imbibing, and when he
reaches the figures showing his capac-
ity, the flow can be stopped. 1t some
times happens that person who has
taken in but few pounds feels and
acts as if he weighed several tons. In
such cases, the capacity is Overesti-
mated. probably from lack of exact
figures.
A. F. Grove has been appointed post
master at Sank Rapids, vice Mrs. Wood,
removed. Four years ago the Demo
Gratis of that place said: 'sLet the
widow have the Office" To-day our
Republican brethren over there say:
sLet us have the widows mite'-we
are hungry for it."-St. Cloud Times.
