The proposed Grant monument doe snt
appear any nearer an established fact than
it was several years ago. Sixty-five de-
signs for it have been submitted, but at a
meeting the other day all of them were
practically rejected, and second competi-
ton was ordered. Architectural experts
say that the reason the designs were re-
jected was because the terms of the COM
petition did not offer sufficient inducements
to men of established reputation.

If the southern votes cast for Chicago.
Washington, and st. Louis on the final
ballot in the worlds fair contest had been
cast for New York, the last named city
would have been successful. On the ballot
indicated, sixty southern votes were cast
agoinst New YORK, and these, if added to
New Yorks vote, would have given her
1877. 1t seems little strange that southern
democrats voted for Chicago, and their con-
duct in sticking to St. Louis and Washing
ton when the chances of those cities were
gone, and when, by changing to New York,
they might have defeated the scheme of
Platt, Quay, and Dudley, and at the same
time secured the best place for the fair, is
open to criticism.

AS a general thing, Georgia school
teachers are reported to be in favor of the
election of state school commissioner by the
people, and it is said that at the May meet
ing of the teachers association, in Column
bus, the subject will be discussed, and
action will be taken. Commissioner Hook
is not very popular among the teachers, by
many of whom Gov. Gordon has been
censured for appointing him. 1t is con-
tended that Judge Hook cannot do suffici-
ent service because he has no practical
knowledge of the work he is expected to do.
1t will require a constitutional amendment
to change the method of choosing the COM
missioner.

The ex-Emperor of Brazil wants to
return TO that country, and he is willing to
renounce all claim to the throne, asking
only to live as a private citizen in his own
country and to be buried among his own
people. A close friend of the depose d
emperor has recently written from Paris to
that effect to friend in New York. Dom
Pedro's remuneration of the throne would
mean that neither he nor any member Of
mis- family could ever again hope to rule in
Brazil, even if the republican form of gov
eminent should be abandoned. The ole
mans longing to go home is pathetic.

The rumors of compromise in the Tilden
will case have not been confirmed by repre-
sentatives of either side. Indeed, it is stated
in some quarters that they were without
foundation. The New York Times says,
however, that the estate is much larger than
was expected, being nearer sl5, 0OO, 900 than
IS, 900 900, and that if $4,000 900 were used,
as directed by Mr.. Tilden, for public
library in New York, each one of the heirs
would still be a millionaire This, the
Times thinks, will make the heirs more
willing to agree upon a settlement outside
the courts.

Republican Hostility to New York.
From the New York Times tInd,

FROM Ute NelC YORK Times tIIld.l.
There is no doubt that Platt's desire to keep
the world fair away from New York was fully
SHARED by politicians Of the same stripe who
congregate at Washington and exert their in.
huence in congress. The President is a western
man OF peculiarly narrow and provincial type,
ana a politician who has not conception or an
aspiration above partisan and personal advan-
tage, and those of his advisers and counselors
VINO have most influence are western men, and
Join with their local pride peculiar antipathy
Tor the east, and especially for the city of New
York. Once the bosses" had thrust their no
htlcal designs into this worlds fair business the
chance of great international exhibition in the
metropolis was doomed.

A GOOD STORY is told of Bishop Grafton prot.

Webster After tho prelate retired he was an

luncheon which he had been ENJOYING. placed
it on the top of glass in the center of a wash

a photograph from the table to the edge of the
bowl so as to give the mouse runway then
calmly went back to bed. In q few minutes he
heard the pattering of the mouse's feet on the
photograph, splash, a few struggles and all
was quiet. Then the worthy bishop turned over
and slept the sleep of the just. As Mrs Web

Workers who realize what vari ETY. of running
and creeping things they eat under the name of
terrapin. The diamond-backs, or genuine AL
gastronomic delights, are becoming rarer and
rarer every year, and cost 81 or SIS apiece
They are the saltwater terrapn. But the red
legged terrapn, which are fresh-water pro-
duct, and are found in great numbers in the
waters OF the SuSquehanna river in Penn
sylvania, are to the average diner just as good
as the diamond-backs. Red-leg terrapin, so
called on account of the red marking inside of
their slippers: are shipped here from Philadel-
phia in considerable numbers. One firm in the
Seventeenth street market, one of the Quaker
City's best, ships dozens of crates here every
week. The red-egs, when properly stewed in
their own juices, and dressed with cream,
sherry and hard-boiled eggs In judiciously
mixed sauce, Just before serving, are as good
as the ordinary diamond-back and immensely
superior to the messes of tripe and veal which
many New Workers get at good hotels under
the high-sounding and hgh-priced name of this
great amphibian delicacy."
