that pesky flea now that's been biting me-. :"
And wetting his finger, in another instant
he would have captured and killed the nim-
BILE little insect.
But ere Grimsby could accomplish his
murderous purpose Fogg seized him by the
hand, exclaiming:
heavens sake, don't kill him, don't kill
bim!''
"Dont kill himP" echoed Grimsby inter
negatively; "and why not, prays Do you

your life was saved"

Fogg, II was taking a tramp out in the
country, when suddenly it came on to rain.
Looking about for shelter, my eyes fell

But in the nick of time he turned wrath
fully to bite his own flank. saw the whole
thing as by inspiration. A flea had dis

Grimsby said nothing for the space Of
two minutes. Then he looked at Fogg in
an admiring manner and delivered himself
as follows:
eyes, Fogg, it would have been too bad
for the world to lose such a beautiful liar
as you are. Boston Transcript.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-10-02

Among congressman two have had
careers that, as Artemus Ward said, are
'.interestin enough for yaller kivers"-
Amos Cummings and John Finerty.
"They say that the former began life
as tramp printer, but it should be
noted that in the olden time the word
"tramp" had no such base meaning as
now. 1t simply meant a "jour" who
worked in many places. At any rate,
Mr.. Cummings rose to be one of the
brightest journalists, and received the
distinguished honor of being made the
successor in congress of S. S. Cox. Cap
tain John Finerty, as his friends call
him, got that title in Fenian raid on
Canada; but he went to the northwest
for the Chicago Times soon after the
Custer massacre, joined in the fighting,
and is the only civilian in the nation
who has been three times mentioned in
general orders for conspicuous gal
lantry." He had two horses killed under
him in battle with the Sioux, and was
finally elected to congress from Chi
cago, and from district in which he
did not live. Long may he wave!
Hon. Schuyler Colfax reached the
highest place of any regular journalist
in this country. Hon. John G. New
holds the most profitable diplomatic po-
sition. Mr.. Frank Hatton, once of the
Burlington Hawkeye and now of the
Washington Post, was postmaster gen.
eral, and so was Mr.. j. S. Clarkson, of
the Des Moines Register. Hon. Clayton
McMichael, of the Philadelphia North
American, has held Office of high rank,
and Senator Hawley, of the Hartford
Courant, is known of all men. Robert
P Porter is superintendent of the cen,
sus, though as to the rank of that posi-
tion and the chances of covering ones
self with honor there are serious diff
ferences of opinion. 1t is certain that
for few weeks after the figures are
published in each decennial year this
official gets more hearty cursing than
any other man in the government.

lean writers. In fact, journalism is most
decidedly looking up all over the world,
and in republican France there are some
men equally great in the sanctum and
the political arena.
Mr.. Edward Lawson, of the London
Daily Telegraph; Mr.. John Jaffray, of
the Birmingham Post, and Captain G.
G. Armstrong, of the London Globe, are
made baronets, and DR.. William Smith,
the venerable scholar and editor of The
Quarterly, is made knight. 1t was long
thought that the premier would raise the
noted John Walter, Of the London Times.
to peerage, but it was not done. 1t is
also taken for granted in England that
Sir Algernon Borthwick, proprietor of
The Morning Post, could have been raised
to the peerage under certain conditions,
but declined to accede thereto.
All these gentlemen are hereafter to
be addressed as ''sir," that being COM
mon to knight and baronet, though the
latter is the higher dignity. The most
important distinction from the English
point of viewis that the knights title dies
with him, while that of the baronet con-
tinues in his family. Nevertheless the
baronet is as to law privileges a COM
moner-that is, he has no seat in the
house of lords, as baron has. All these
titles have a tinge of absurdity when
traced to their origin. A baron simply
means man, or real man. Soft would
seem that baronet means little man or
next door to man. Knight originally
meant one who fought on horseback.
Without slang it might be added that
it now oftener implies one who fights
with his mouth.
! Most noted of the new dignitaries is
Sir Edward Lawson, chief proprietor of
The Telegraph and son of Mr.. j. NJ
Levy-Lawson, who founded that paper.
The son began at the lowest place in
journalism, served long apprentice
ship under his father and rose by long
continued labor to be editor-manager.

indignant the Journalists appeared TO
take 1t as good joke on his pretensions
as an editorial writer. Horace himself
was not particularly proud Of his con-
gressional career, nevertheless he again
entered politics, defeated Mr.. Evarts for
senator, was in turn defeated by COM
bination and ended by running as
combination candidate for president in
o campaign which soon degenerated into
burlesque.
His successor in The Tribune, how
ever, has had career of phenomenal
good fortune. A popular speaker at
nineteen, q journalist at twenty, and
soon after the most noted of war CORE
spondents, he became at thirty-five the
responsible manager of The Tribune.
and without having ever been q cardi-
date before the people received from
President Harrison the highest save ore
of diplomatic appointments. His suc-
cess as minister to France was such
that, if an Enghshman, he would now
be Sir Whitelaw at least. In America
it has made him candidate for vice
president, and further this deponent
saith not.
Murat Halstead failed of confirmation
to the German mission. He looks like
German nobleman of the highest rank
He likes the Germans and they like him.
When Thorndike Rice was appointed
and confirmed as minister to Russia all
the profession regarded it as an honor to
them, and his untimely death was real
calamity. Charles Emory Smith, of the
Philadelphia Press, was chosen to sue
ceed him. The liberality of this admins
tration to newspaper men recalls the fact,
almost forgotten, that both Presidents
Hayes and Garfield rendered first class
foreign missions to Whitelaw Reid, but
at that time nothing could induce him
to abandon journalism.

Champlain steamer He had complexion

Sims-Good morning, Pensmith. Ihave
been enjoying your serial now running in
the Social Boomerang very much, but for
the life of me cannot imagine how it is
going to come out In the last installment
you left Reggie De Pinhead, the hero, in a
terrible predicament, the villain having
nailed him by the ears to tho floor of the
deserted villa, saturated the l with
turpentine and set fire to it. e con-
cluding paragraph the roof f-4lis in and
the nearest help is stone deaf man dig
ging in the bottom of well half a mile
away. Now, if you please. / wish you
would tell me now you propose to save the
hero.
Pensmith-Oh, easily enough. You see.
the Reggie De Pinhead who was in the
burning house was not the real Reggie at
all, though he had believed SO all his life,
but his own foster brother, for whom he
was exchanged by wicked nurse at the
age of two days The villain tells him this
just before he jumps out of the window,
and the poor fellow is sorelieved at finding
that it ie not really himself who is about
to be cremated, but comparative strang-
er, that he does not mind it at all.-Life.

Gil as we'll as president of the Institute
of Journalists. His support of the mi
nority government, as that of Lord Sal
isbury was called, was great element
of its success. Sir John Jaffray stood
next to him if not his equal in the value
of his services with the Birmingham
Daily Post. He was one of those Liber-
ais who refused to follow Gladstone in
his Irish policy, and is known as an in
dependent Liberal Unionist.
The most interesting parsonage, how
ever, among the new noblemen is
Sir G. G. Armstrong, once Captain
Armstrong, of the India army, as
after a brilliant career as a soldier
and being disabled in middle life he
chose new profession and soon reached
very high place in it. His father was
Colonel Armstrong, of the Bengal army,
and the son was bred to arms from boy
hood. After some general work he
served through the famous Indian mu-
tiny in the irregular cavalry, was badly
wounded and received pension. He
then served some time at the Royal
Military college,, and in 1874 entered
Journalism as manager of The Globe,
OF which he is now proprietor. The
crisis of 1881 caused the establishment
of The People, of which he is part pro-
prietor. DR.. William Smith, LII. d., of
The Quarterly, was best known in the
United States as editor of those ponder
GUS dictionaries of the Bible and clas-
sizes. In fact, Smiths Bible Dictionary is
in almost every scholarly gentleman's
library. He is seventy4nine years old
and a retired scholar, SO it is hard to
think of him as knight.
! Itisa matter of common observation
that literature and politics are steadily
coming nearer together. and at present
the statesman who cannot on occasion
dash off 'spicy editorial or write an
article for The Forum, The Arena or
The North American Review is thought
to be lacking in an important qualifica-
ton. When Horace Greeley was sent
to Congress there was an editorial "horse
laugh'' throughout the country, and
when he was 'struck by Rust," as the
slang of the day had it, instead of being
