 N. Y. Tribune Here is man who ought to be better known to fame. His name is Charles E. Siseme, and he is an English traveller fresh from India, who was present in the breakfast room of the Lathrop station the other morning, saw the ruffian shot dead, and through the whole of that extraordinary scene, which made sensation for the entire continent, went on calmly eating his breakfast at the same table. 1t was very like Charlotte in the ballad. The explanation is easy. MT. Siseme was new arrival, and didn't pro- pose to write himself down greenhorn by displaying astonishment at anything. He doubtless reads "The Saturday Review ''The London Telegraph" regularly, was proudly conscious that he was well in- formed about all the customs of the coun- try, including shooting affrays at breakfast in railroad stations, and simply didn't pro- pose to give himself away. We wish 10 have it distinctly understood that MT. Si- seme is no tenderfoot.

 CHICAGO sets up to be the great metropolis of the American continent, and claims the honor of encompassing within it's limits the great international exposition to be held in 1892, the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery by Columbus of Chicago and the small outlying territory that goes to make up the continent. The rest of the country hum ply begs Chicago to forgo its claims in favor of New York, which used to be considered a big town before Chicago loomed up. And the Chattanooga (Ga.) Times very disrespect- fully says:
 New York has given to Chicago fire suffer- CTS, to yellow fever victims in the south, to earthquake shaken Charleston and food-d stroyed Johnstown, about ten dollars for every one contributed by Chicago. The Chi cagoese did not hesitate to take New York's tributes by the ten thousand dollars in money and material. Chicago has never shown a reasonable fraction of New York's generosity and philanthropy in single instance when marked demand was made for the exercise of these virtues. If Chicago's press were mere ly decent, saying nothing of gratitude, it hberality, after taking and using New York's magnificent bounty. It is not place from which meers of that kind can emanate with out raising suspicion that Chicago is windy rather than solid, and too mean to deserve anything gentler than basting.
 New York Evening Post Terry was, in fact, in his beginning, a man of his time, but must have felt himself ever since the war the member of g rapidly disappearing variety of the Homo AnsericGnaes. In the south his congeners are nearly all gone. Almost every month carries one of them of, either through wounds receiv- cd in ''bsttle," or through the action of alcohol on his mucous membrane. What their ideas of post mortem existence were it would be interesting to know, but we have never heard that any of. them published his views on future life. They were seldom men of speculative or medi- tative turn of mind, and probably occu- pied themselves with na subject of a met physical character, except the nature and requirements of 'shonor." But certainly heaven as place of peace and rest, with no bars, no ssdificulties, and no ''code," and no ssgentlemen of the old school" can-. not have had much attraction for them.
