The New York Advertiser speaks of Gen. -
John M. Thurston, who, by the way, is lust
now vociferously declining the vice presi-
dency of the United States AT the close of
the war Gen" John M. Thurston was re-
markably good looking boy in gold-bowed
eye glasses and velyeteen knickerbockers,
just dipping into Blackstone, and with a
weather eye on the village of Omaha.

Thomas B. Reed is much more agreeable
spectacle as leader of the minority than he
was as speaker of the majority.-New York
World.
Also more docile. Reed is now wearing a
biting harness.
The course of the New York World in re-
fusing to lend its influence to any
one presidential aspirant is commend
able. THIS is not the time to fan
the flames of discord by partisan
support and encouragement of personal am
billion. Let the issue of tariff reform be kept
at the front and every effort made to har-
monte conflicting interests in the Democrat
1c party. Harmony once restored. a candi-
date for president can be selected, aud he
should be deliberately and judiciously chosen
even il every man now prominently men
toned as leader is steruly relegated to the
rear, and musket put in mis- hand instead
of sword. No man is greater than the Dem
ocratic party, and there is no aspirant for
the presidency whom the party cannot get
along without much easier than can he with
out the party. If anything is to be sacrificed
letit be men, not principles; personal am bi
tons, notissues. The loss of a m an is trivial !;
the wrecking of the issue pc rtends ultimate
defeat.

Barnes Greeley, a brother of the late Hor-
ace Greeley, has recently sprung into promi-
nence by living quietly on the old family
farm near Chappaqua, N. Y.' Mr.. Barnes
Greeley has been long time coming to the
front but he can rest assured that
'Vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself,
And falls upon the other side"
will never carry him out of the world as it
did his distinguished brother at the end of a
presidential campaign.

HISTORY OF A CORNER CARD.
An adlet is little ''ad,,'
The language makers claim,
And though tbs very small, egad!

Silently yet surely it stole it's way into the
affections of distinguished literary critics,
while the subtle genius who constructed the
glowing metrical effusion continued to blush
unseen between meals. All at once ne sud
denly forgot it, and Philadelphia paper ap-
proprialed it and hired the author of Beau
tiful Snow to add four lines more and other
wise disfgure it SO that when 1t caught the
eye of its author it was so N Initiated beyond
instantaneous recognition that he uncon-
sciously clipped it aud coascientiously
credited the jeu d'esprit to the Philadelphia
pirate. This of course. was a horse on u.s.
and we see no reason to enter an elaborate
defense But now that the New York Re-
corder boldly Utilities the grand poem without
a line of credit to anyone it is high time to
ring the chestnut bell

Gov. Flower was well aware to whom he was

Cleveland papers speak disrespectfully and
unfeelingly of Cincinnati as "an old river

Judging from the proverblal effluvia Chi
