The CornmeaI Boom in Europe.


1t was rare idea of Minister Phelps
to give dinner in Berlin and have the
food at that dinner composed largely of
American pork and preparations OF
American cornmeal. The Germans liked
the dinner so well that since then the
Berlin bakers have not been able to sup
ply the demand for cornmeal. IT'S we'll
The lack of any of the delicious corn
meal preparations to which he is accus-
toned at home strikes the American
traveller uncomfortably throughout all
parts of Europe. He has been inclined
to pity the benighted Europeans in con-
sequence. They have larger, sweeter
Strawberries and gooseberries than we
have, and in England and France better
mutton, bnt what do they not miss? No
corn pone, no hoecake baked before
hickory GOALS, no cornstarch, no green
corn, and, finally, not even popcorn
balls on the railroads. But now they are
to have chance; now they are to know
part at least of what makes America
great. Let no European consider him
self ready to die till he has tasted south
ern cornbread

Bishop Coleman of Delaware is back

Bishop Coleman of Delaware is back
from his tramp of 375 miles through
the mountains of Virginia. The Bishop
travelled without episcopal insignia, and
in the course of his tramp he was various
mistaken for book agent, circns
manager, and a detective in search of
moonshiners. Atonevillage thepeople
were so suspicious of the tourist that
they refused to give him lodging, and
he was forced to break into a deserted
house and sleep on the floor.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com

for the early promoters of railroad
building in this country by erecting a
monument on the spot where the first

sixty years ago. May we hope that

line of action, and, recurring to the
past, give to the great city which
cherished its infancy the boon of fair
play and fair rates

The rumor printed in the London

this alleged meat to Minister Phelps
and, our word for it, he will readily
consent to eat it in the presence of the

that our hog has been outrageously L.

More amusing than even the most

by the London Daily News in describ-

That the editor of one Of the leading pa

itself that it is particularly well up on

The prevalence of diphtheria in
Camden, N. j., has caused a physician
of that city to utter a word of caution
against the danger of indiscriminate

divided ON the subjectof revision. While
New York calls for thorough revision,

Dress Reform.

There is one kind of dress reform that
nobody seems to have thought anything
about, yet it goes to the root of the
whole matter for both sexes. That is
allowing all members of the human
family to dress as they please. Nobody
dresses to please himself. 1t is to please
those who look at him. If he varies
one hairbreadth from the regulation
fashion he is regarded as crank, no
matter how monstyous or uncomfortable
the regulation fashion may be. Observe
when foreigner lands upon our shores
It may be an Italian woman with he,
picturesque black braids and bright
handkerchief; 1t may be mountaineer
with his peaked fuv cap, built in another
fashion than ours. It is the same in any
case. Our rude, provincial populace
