Mrs. Diss Debar, the spook artist. and
Prof. Hermann, the prestidigitator, will
probably make at least paying combina-
tion. The professor announces that he has
engaged Mrs. Dlss Debar for the rest Of the
season, and probably for the next season,
and that she will show the people how she
can command the services OF the spirits in
painting pictures, and he will astonish them
with his slight Of hand tricks. Mrs. Diss
Debar is to receive, it is reported, 81 500 a
week. A few months ago she was in the
penitentiary. This is world of ups and
downs.

a Good Speech.
Frou the phiInlJe1nbin preqs

From the PHILADELPHIA Press Rep)
The speech of ex-Presdent Cleveland at the
81. Patrick dinner in New York on Saturday
night must be recognized as one of that gentle
man s ablest and most admirable utterances.
The tone and temper and fitness of the speech
would seem to warrant the friends of genial
Chauncey Depew in warning that gentleman TO
look out for his place as an after-dinner orator.

From the Net1 York Sun (Ind)
To appoint Col. Grant to one Of the highest
diplomatic offices. expecting him to justify his
selection by conspicuous efficiency, would be

principles announced two weeks ago day by
Gen. Harrison as those which are to govern his
appointments

letter to the Fire Commissioners, urging inc
adoption of stringent rules for the use ana
storage Of explosives. He suggested that Q IL
cense should be required for the use OF nitro
glycerine: that this should be conferred only
mon such persons as an examination Sh0uid
show TO have the knowledge requisite to its
safe use that the contractor or person using
the explosive should be placed under bond OF
at least SIS. 900; that no explosive should be
stored within a stated number of feet Of any
dwelling; that the quantity to be stored any
where should be limited; that it should be
stored in an iron box or chest, plainly marked
with words indicating the contents. These
were all most moderate and excellent sng-
gestions for the action both Of the Fire Com
mssioners and the Common Council. But II
they have ever had any effect upon either
body, we have yet to hear OF it.
THE time has come when it is an imperative
necessity to revise the regulations governing
blasting. At present the contractor may use
any charge no likes, and 80 long rs ne phes a

sometimes does, and sometimes docs not do

a bmlesque. We would recommend that Mayor
Grant again call the attention OF the Fire Com
missioners to this matter.

Among the many dstinctively summer games
which the warm weather and life in the country

We think, on the whole, that there Is litth re-

any very high intellectual effort like for instance
chess Il does not demand quicksesS and &c
tivity, like lawn tennis IL does not hold the

Besides all else, the very conditions under which
the game Of croCuet is played act strongly against
