clined the miserable Corean mission, q
place worth $4,000 year. But the Re
publican party as a whole is not on the
decline at present. "I'll accept any
thing you've got left" is the remark of
the average OfficeSeeker to Mr.. Harri-
son just now.
1t is evident that Col. Shepard has
received some encouragement in Wash
ington. He remarked the other day in

verts to the family of its original owner,

the authority to try and execute citizens
of Africa?
