A"Profession.l :" Nuisance.

Your professed wag is nuisance sort
of man who sits watching for an oppor-
tunity to twist even the most affecting piece
of intelligence into a joke, and if he have
not quickness enough of his own to perpe-
trate this piece Of absurdity, he is prepared
to relate an anecdote of a friend of his,
to whom he gives name, which occurred at
a place which he also designates, and which,
long before he has proceeded half way
through it, you recognize as something your
grandfather told you when he was dancing
you on his knee; the result is, the wag hav-
ing been the only talker for ten minutes,
finds himself the only laugher at the end Of
that period.

BLAINE AGAIN ON DECK.
The Magnetic Statesman Will Probably
Try His Luck Once More.

The Magnetic Statesman Will Probably
Try His Luck Once More.
Mr.. Blaine's statement that if Mr..
Chauncey M. Depew can carry New
York he will be happy to support him
for the Republican Presidential nomi-
nation will scarcely convince any one
that he has rid himself of the Presiden-
tial yearn which has afflicted him for
fifteen years. 1t Is chronic disease
with him. Even when in 1888 it had
shattered his nerves and reduced him to
a state of what threatened to be per-
manent Mysteries If not insanity, he
cherished it until it became apparent
that he would be defeated if he went
before the convention. The present
situation is calculated to give him new
hopes. His nerves are steadier, and he
is less hysterical than he was under the
strain of ambition and anxiety in 1888.
Harrison is SO thoroughly discredited,
the Republican party is so Disguised
with him that his denomination is inn
possible, and the party less inclined
tn an in the past to take up an unknown
man for its candidate. It generally
happens that the sins of President are
visited on his Cabinet especially on
the leading Cabinet oficer-but Mr..
Blaine has managed it so cleverly that
Mr.. Harrison bears the whole odium of
the party administration If the Secre-
tary of State is not as popular as he was
in 1884, he is 50 much more popular
with Republicans than the President is
that any possible decrease in popularity
is made to seem an increase by COM
parison. A shrug of his shoulders, a
nod of his head towards the White
House, goes as far as all the more intri-
cate arts of Oily Cannon, Esq, to con-
vince his admirers that it is only be-
cause he can not have his way that
things are not different. Harrison is
defunct; John Sherman has no more
than enough strength left to make any
Ohio candidate impossible, Mr.. Allison
has SO declined in popularity that he
barely escaped defeat for the Senate,
and there is nobody left but Depew and
Alger - both millionaires and pluto
Gratis, to nomi nate either of whom would
be to invite defeat in the Granger
States.
So Mr.. Blaine has the field open to
him. It taxes credulity to ask it to be-
lieve that a man of his fixed habit of
yearning for the Presidency will resist
such temptatior--St Louis Republic.

girl. and the latter transferred her affec
tons to another party. The girl sent her

fortunate rival The postmaster reported
the case and the girl was fined ten dollars
The fine was subsequently RENTED.

The South Dakota Representa-

AS to President Harrison, we have
it on the authority of Wharton Barker

he handed over the naming of a Cabinet
officer (Wanamaker) and the control of
Pennsylvania patronage to the corrupt
and dishonest boss The President
sinned against knowledge, and this fact,
SO well attested, probably accounts for
his desire to recover lost ground by UNI

MORE LrNATJCS BURNED ALTT.

The burning of the county pOorhouSo at
Preston i'm this State cnfOrccS the moral OF
the Tongue Point calamity. and iustiiics recent
legislation at Albany. This pOorhouSc, like
many other county institutions in the state,
had an insane ward in which fifty patients
were confined \ sudden outbreak of fire at
midnight was followed by scenes similar to
those enacted near Montreal albeit the NOR
tality was smaller. There were no appliances
available for fighting the flames and there
were no organized efforts to clear the wards
of paupcrs and lunaticS. The attendants did
what they could in the excitement and con-
fusion Of the moment 70 rescue the inmates,
but many Of the insane patients persisted III
the flames. a work Of mercy had been under
taken on behalf Of these unfortunate patients,
but it had been inadequately done under con
ditions involving high risks TO life. The build
ing was an unsuitable one for the purposes OF
an insane ward. There was an inadequate
number of attendants, and there were no pre-
cautions against fire. When the catastrophe
came the half-witted creatures were either lett
TO shift for themselves or to huddlc together
and Ire roasted alive.
For many years county officials have offered
resistance to the closing Of the insane wards
of the poOrh0uses and TO the transfer OF the
inmates to State institutions. This opposition
was nominaly based on unwillingneSS on the
part of the officials to remove patients TO re-
! mote cities where friends and relatives could
not visit them. more practical reason was
the financial allowance made by the counties
for the care and maintenance OF the patients.
! There was a margin for profit on each dement,
ed head. and county superintendent of the
| Poor invariably looked upon the few hundreds

official perouisitc In some instances expensive

PAYERS, who had provided literally for the
maintenance of this class of unfOrtunates and
consequently ought not to be compelled to pay
for their support in State institutions. These
and similar objections have prevailed until the
session of the Legislature now closing. One
| of the laws enacted within few weeks prac-
tically closes the insane wards in all counties
except Monroe, Kings and New York. Under
the operation of this law the lunatics at Pres
| ton would have been removed in the course Of
| few weeks to State asylums. The burning
of the Preston poorhouse iustifes the legisla-
ton. 1t demonstrates the inadequacy Of the
