EDITORIAL NOTES.

A portrait of George Washington smok-
ing pipe has recently been discovered.
Parnelps candidate was badly beaten.
Parnell isn't good at taking hints but this
is very p1ain-one.
Ex-King Milan won't have to go to the
poor house very soon. He is to be al
lowed s150,0OO year by the SerNian
regency.
Woman doesn't mean to be behind the
procession in any respect. Two women in
Philadelphia cracked safe the other day
and stole $1,000.
The earliest mention of holly in connec-
ton with Christmas establishment is q
carol in its praise, written about 1850 and
preserved in the Harleian manuscripts.
Here's chance for some ingenious Yam
kee. An English chemist is authority for
the statement that the cloud of smoke that
overhangs London is 800 tons in weight
and contains carbon and carbonic acid
gas of the yearly value of e2,000,000.
During the last year the United States
paid Germany $16, ,000, 900 for beet sugar.
This is upon the authority of United States
Consul. Merritt at Chemnitz. Every pound
of this $16,000,00O worth of sugar was
grown in Prussia in a latitude as high as
Labrador, and there is no reason why the
United States cannot make its own beef
sugar.

The South means business. An immi
grafton convention has been sitting a

tiers to the notice of the people of th
northern and western States. Men wit

carpenters, machinists, bricklayers, WACO
builders, merchants and business men ger
orally are all wanted to build up the ne,
South. If the recommendations of th
convention are carried out bureaus of in
migration will soon be established in ever
State, with agencies at every seaport an
center of population, to divert the choice,
portion of the arrivals from the old worlt
and as much as possible of the shiftin
population of the North, to this souther
: region. The railroads have promised
help and the State governments are to ad
their assistance, 80 that the movemel
gives promise of great usefulness.
At the present rate of progress thel
will soon be no diseases left. A peasal
physician named Rieger, of Glogan, in
lesia, announces cure for diphther
which an agent of the emperor has e.
amined and reported very favorably upol
It is thought to be a mixture of extrac
; from two or three common weeds and Q
oil. The salye resulting from the mixtul
is liquifed, and applied with brush
the interior of the throat. The remei
was discovered by Rieger's father, a she
herd. 1t was applied by him only to e
ternal wounds. Once, when young Ri
