sour country! In her intercourse with
| foreign nations may she always be in the
right But our country right or wrong"

just been appointed notary public A
little break very much eases up the de-
scent from high official positions to pri-
vato lifs.-E1.
A jackass in Tennessee recently brayed
itself to death. This should be warn
ing TO Roger @. Mills, but he will prob
ably go on with his braying just the same
Globe Democrat.
Speaker Reed, it is announced, is soon
going to Italy, and the Democratic pa
pers are congratulating themselves that
the Malta society in that country is in a
healthy condition.-Ec.
While the prospect for crop is better
than usual this year, we do not think it
should induce those to stay who can
make arrangements to leave, as the rain
belt is noted for great expectations and
small harvests.-Lindon Sun.

The Alliance leaders are making good
many speeches, but perhaps it is best to
encourage them in such performances, on

more men talk the more likely they are
not to do anything else."-Er.

They have ghost out in Kansas that
laughs and turns somersaults. 1t has
probably been reading the ridiculous ex-
cuse OF the Alliance members OF the re-
cent Legislature for their failure to do
anything in the interest of the farmers.

There was panic at Milwaukee the
other day when Governor Peck's paper
| announced that s'the price of beer would
be advanced" Governor Peck had to get
out an extra, announcing that it should
read 'beef," not "beer," and the thirsty
Milwaukeeans drew long sigh of relief.
-Denrcr Times.
Mr. Stanley has been compelled to can
eel all OF his Texas dates on account Of
the popular prejudice against him be-
cause of his alleged desertion from the
Confederate army. They have long MEM
ories in Texas; and they also have a sup
ply OF crude folly that is equal to any
emergency.-ED.
Mrs. Cleveland is soon to give riding
show in New York for the benefit Of
charity. Her husband will probably not
appear in the character of Balaam. He
| has done that often enough in the past,
however, to suggest the fitness Of the tab
| leau rs feature of such an entertain
ment.-Erchdnge.
There is considerable fault found with
the design on our silver currency, says a
| Washington official. People desire the
head Of Washington or Columbus on the
coins, according to his story. Putting a
| head ON the coin is not troubling the av-
erage man SO much as getting hand on
| it.-Colorddo Sun.

Lieutenant Schwatlsa, the Arctic ex-
plorer, not long since fell fourteen feet,
| alighting squarely on his head in mar
BILE court. 1t was thought at that time
that he would die, but the lieutenant
has arrived in New York as bright and
clipper as ever. And still there are fool
ish people who say that whisky is bad
thing.-Ficld and Farm.
| A Bellamy colony is to be founded in No
Mans Land. The cooperative plan is to
be adopted, and all work for the common
veal. We await the result with interest.
| We apprehend from what we know of
human nature that the result will be
very similar to what is usually tho case
in the organization of country band
all want to play solo cornets.-Er.

The Arkansas Legislature has substi-
tuted portrait of Jefferson Davis for one
| l,,f lInchipntor hat hoc haap
hanging over the Speakers desk of the
House for the last twenty years. 1t must
be admitted, to say the least, there was
no propriety in keeping in such place
the portrait of a man who never told q
lie and never voted tho Democratic tick
t.-Giobe-Democrdt.
A calico trust is now being formed in
England, and the managers are positive
that half of the mills of the country will
be included in the organization at the
outset. The company intends to control
the calico business throughout the Brit
sh empire This will be sad nows for
the tariff reform organs who steadfastly
insist that trusts cannot be formed with
out the assistance of the blighting sys-
tenn OF observation-disclosures Journal.

Senator PETER, of Kansas, declined to
attend the recent jubilee at Springfield,
ILL.,, over the election of General Palmer.
He says that he has no shouting to do
over the election of any Democrat to the
Senate. He will of course give his first
efforts to the accomplishment of the
special purposes of the Alliance. After
that he will be Republican. This is en-
couraging. 1t makes the Republican
margin in the next Senate reasonably
safe.-COlorddo Sun.
Brother Moody continues to have hard
work to convert the inhabitants of Bos-
ton. 'There are $4,000 men in this
city," he told the stiff-necked fellows the
other day, "who would be Christians in
ten minutes if they could get into
Heaven by some side door" This was a
facer for the Bostonians. They are SO
used to going into saloons by the side
door on Sunday that their idea Of
Heaven has side door, or else a saloon
