Senator John Sherman says he was
always afflicted with bashfulness with
the girls, but his brother. the veteran
general. had as boy ''the same happy
way with them aud ease in kissing them
which he still retains John should

"A great many peculiar things happen
in Rhode Island. A bill has just passed
the senate in that state giving the
Governor, whose salary is $1,000, a
secretary with salary of $1,000. That
is nothing compared to the peculiar
performances of the Minneapolis city
council. When that body ran onto
that threatened to eugnlf all
tie Republican alderman halt was
called.
Bismarck and Emperor William are
said to have had such serious quarrel
on the subject Of the latter's policy
toward workingmen that it may lead to
the resignation of the iron chancellor
That was rather difficult subject for
men of their. stamp to discuss. NO
wonder they did not agree. Why will
men persist in discussing subjects they
know nothing about? What does king
or prince know about work or working
men, and what do they care?

Last year one hundred and seventy
five persons were lynched in the United
States, and not one Of them was man
addicted to the habit of chewing tobacco
in heated car and expectorating on the
stove It is not necessary Of course to
enquire if any Of them were alderman.
II their records were as dark as those OF
Republican council, it is
not to be wondered that they were
lynched. When will Judge Lynch call
here anyway?

SIN one Of the small islands OF the
New Hebrides trading vessel recently
put ashore sailor to buy some hams,
to call for him in few hours
While be was waiting q band of natives
attacked him and carried him off to the
interior, where subsequently he was
roasted and eaten Would this not be
a good plan to adopt with the Mime
apolis city council, but it is to be feared
that they would prove too tough eating
for the natives,

A. good deal Of righteous Indignation
has been occasioned over an item which
appeared in the Globe Of Tuesday morn
ing last, wherein the Hibernian Rifles
are made the target for an uncalled-for
slur. The gentlemanly manager of that
excellent journal in this city did not
write the item in question, and further
regrets that it should have escaped his
notice, Of this we are certain, that the
party who wrote it is of no particular
benefit to the Globe. The creature
ought to be muzzled.

80 certain has Mr.. Gladstone been,
during the last five years, of the ulti-
mate success of Che Home Rlle move
ment, and of his eventual resumption Of
the premiership, that when he left Office
upon the fall Of his government in 1886,
he stored away most of his bric-a- brac
and her household goods in the garrets
Of the prime minister's official residence
at London, where they remain to this
day. The Grand Old Man will soon
have occasion to get this bric-a- brac
busted for he will soon require it again.
