tezuna Journal.

crate the Eighth.--P Palmer Lake Herald
Deacon Richard Smith, of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, belives that the
office should seek the man, and hearing
few days ago that a $500 municipal
office was in pursuit of him, the Deacon

waiting half an hour in the Office Of q jus
tice of the peace for the man she was to
marry got impatient, borrowed the JUS

she returned, driving the laggard before
her, and the ceremony was performed
Exchange.
The idea OF Italy declaring war against
the United States is ridiculous. The lat
ter is one of the greatest powers in the
world. A power capable within six
month of buying and building q fleet
that would block every port in Italy.
American ingenuity would be SO stimu-
lated to outdo itself that it would turn
every steamer that could float into an i'm
provised ironclad.-London Spectator.

Thereport that reciprocity treaty with
Mexico will soon be concluded shows that
Secretary Blaine is fully aroused to the
requirements of the situation. An ex-
tension of our trade with the other coun-
tries of the continent is what the Repub-
lican party seeks at this moment, and
Mr.. Blaine, as leader of the party and
the Foreign Minister Of the Government,
will see that this is brought about
Globe Democrat.
Ex Senator Blair, lately appointed
Minister to China, says that he will not
leave for his oriental post of duty for sew
eral weeks yet. This raises the painful
suggestion that he may make q speech
or two yet before he starts. The Chinese
government is reported as entirely salts
fled with his appointment. This would
indicate that the Congressional Record
does not circulate extensively in the an
cient empire Of the east.-Colorddo Sun.

Jerry, the champion sans socks, has
been stopping at the Windsor hotel in
| New York, paying tax of s6 day for
| the privilege. He is said to be entirely
| at ease amid the luxurious surroundings
of a metropolitan tavern. His hair is
| now entirely devoid of hayseed, and he
can gaze with unquailing eye upon the
clerks 18-karat diamond-possible he
has seen carrots beforehand in fact like
all other commoners who rise in the
world, Jerry is becoming an aristocrat.
Success to him, hardy, good-natured

The other day wagon maker, who
| had been dumb for years, picked up
hub and spoke. Yes, and blind car
penter on the same day reached out for
his plane and saw, and deaf sheep
ranchman went out with his dog and
| herd, and noseless fisherman caught a
barrel Of herring and smelt, and
defunct halter was tenderly deposited on
a pile of hair and felt, and forty-ton
elephant inserted his trunk into a CRATE
and fiue.-Rocky Ford Enterprise.-And
in thinking up the above Herrick staid

Our American poets have a right to
feel insulted. When the managers OF
the Worlds fair discovered the necessity
OF few jingles to give the show a proper
send-off, they sent away to foreigner
who has more work than he can do, and
totally ignored the seedy and lunch-fed
geniuses of America. There is our own
Willy DeBusk, whose apostrophe to
Fishers Peak will go echoing down the
corridors of time, while the unkind wind
whistles through the fringe OF his abbre-
waited unmentionables. Willie could
write poem that would not only start
the Worlds fair, but cause the heavens
to roll up like a scroll.-Trinidad
Chronicle.
