Personal AND PERTINENT.

No surplus does not seem to work well
in the Argentine Republic.
The returns from various political
centres indicate that the Presidential
bee is the genuine "busy bee."
1t was feared that in his reply to X.
M. G. Mr.. Reed in his efforts to Y. L.
would be driven to X. S. Fortunately
he made fair n trance and a safe X it.
The charge is made that the Philadel-
phia Press stands dumb before Senator
Quay" The general observation is that
it is sad case of mutual dumbness.
New Orleans newspapers announce
that Major Burke, the defaulter and ex-
editor who is now in exile in Honduras,
is in wretched health. He is said to be
suffering from cancer of the nose. His
wife is still in the south of France.
The leaders of the Argentine revolut-
lonists calculated that they had ,00O,0
cartridges, but found that they had but
0,00O. 1t is doubtful if gentlemen
should be trusted with the affairs of
state whose arithmetic is so sadly def
ective.
President Gelman appointed too many
relatives to office hence the trouble in
the Argentine Republic. President Har
rlson has not known relative or con-
nection unprovided with an Office save
one who is Democrat, but this country
won't "revolute" over it,
An esteemed contemporary has been
quoting the Congressional Record to show
that Speaker Reed and Congressman
Reed, if such dual parsonage could ex-
lst, would constantly be in each others
q nf 1.o @1ok
kind to rake up these old personalities.
The accounts of pill-maker who has
just died in England show that he has
been spending 5000, 900 year for adver-
tising. His heirs, however, are finding
no particular fault with this extravag-
ance, as he leaves an estate valued at
$25, ,000,0 900 all due to pills and advert
Using.
DR.. Brown Sequard, in the current
issue of magazine, discusses the quest
ion, "Have We Two Brains or One ?" 1t
was feared that owing to the few pers-
ons who took stock in the doctors elixir
of life theory he might have come to the
conclusion that the majority of folks
haven't any.
Lord Randolph Churchill does not re-
gard himself with great favor. His poll
tical life, he thinks, has been failure,
and racing is more in his line. Lord
Churchill is not the first to come to this
conclusion. If he would permit his tai
ented wife to attend to the politics while
he looks out for the turf, it is believed
their mutual interests would be better
served.
Dunkirk, N. Y, has verteran of the
in thp nf Mro GIN
field, to whom Congress has just granted
a pension of SIS month. By special
permission she enlisted with her hus-
band in Company E, Seventy-second
Regiment, New York Volunteers, and
was in the battle of Williamsburg, Seven
Pines, Peach Orchard, the second battle
of Malvern Hill, the second battle of
Bull Run, the battle of Chantilly, Fred
erickburg, Charlottesville and Gettys-
burg. She has earned her 30 cents day.
Complaint is made that Gen. Grants
tomb in Riverside Park has been thrown
into unpleasant juxtaposition with a
new stable which is an annex to the
Claremont restaurant. Certain patriotic
citizens have demanded the removal of
the stable. The Park Commissioners
have rented Claremont as restaurant
and place of popular resort. The stable
or shed for horses is necessary to the
house Of entertainment. What would |
the poor, tired horses do without it? 1t |
is unfortunate that Gen. Grants remains !
should rest in hideous vault in close
proximity to a stable, but perhaps it
was unfortunate that public park and
pleasure ground was chosen as place of
interment. When the American people
grow ashamed of themselves and pro-
ceed to erect suitable monument over
the great Union Generals grave perhaps
the stable and the restaurant in River
side Park will both disappear, but the
restaurant was located in the Park be-
fore the hero's remains were deposited
there and it has. with it's stables and
sheds, sort of prior right.
