MURPHY SINCLAIR.

The old chestnut OF story comes up
again in relation to the Senatorial contest
in New York. 1t runs about as fol-
lows: One Murphy came over from Ire
land and got rich and changed his name
TO Sinclair so as TO get into that
polite and high-toned society which
does queer things in polite
and hightoned way. But IL happened
that one evening an Irish member OF Par
lament was visiting New York's bon-ton
at supper. He had known Murphy In
Ireland, and was surprised at being in.
troduced to him under the new name OF
"sinclair." lie eyed Murphy during sup
per and saw that his man was pretender.
So he quietly waited. After a while be
addressed Murphy and said, pointing to a
dish Of potatoes: "Please pass m,
those sinclairs." Murphy looked at him
and the rest at the table did the same. Blu
he did not remove his eye from Murph,
nor change a muscle. "Pleaso pass IN
those sinclairs," he said. Murphy asked
"what sinclairs do YOU mean, sir?" q
mean those potatoes" b" said the NJ. j. 81
Ireland We sometimes call them 'mui
phies,' but I see that they are changed
'slnclairs' in America"
Mr.. Murphy, Jr., Of New York shoul
have called himself .'Sinclsir."

DEMONSTRATION.

The registration which closed on Satur-
day night, while not as large as that for
Presidential year, is very good. When
City Clerk Sibley closed his books he had
registered 1850 names. This is excellent
for what is termed an off year and there is
no doubt but which the Democrats have
great deal the best OF it.

Ex-MAYOR CARROLL.

In last Fridays issue We commented at
some length upon the retirement OF
Mayor Carroll. Today the TRIBUNE reit-
crates that no official OF the city was ever
prosecuted in such a bitterly partisan
manner as the retiring Mayor, and be-
Iieves that he enters private life with the
respect OF all fair minded, liberal Repub-
licans and the confidence OF the bone and
sinew of his own party. MAY he live
long and prosper"

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1893-06-09

A correspondent who writes from
Port Gibson, Miss, wishes to know
why 1t would not be good policy
for The government, instead Of paying
treasury notes for silver bullion, to
nav silver coin and thus compel the
seller and the public TO lug the coin
around till they are sick OF it. The
writer thinks that The "doIlar of our
daddiesr would lose its popularity
very soon if personal contact with IT
could be brought about. Very true;
and this was well known to those
who planned the silver laws. Hence
they provided that any person having
silver dollars could exchange them
for certificates at the treasury, and
could use the certificates to pay all
Government dues, including customs
duties. Consequently no lnconven-
ienoe would result from the paying
of silver coin for silver bullion. The
recipient of the coin would not be
obliged even to take it off the count
err lie would merely call for BERTH
Gates. aud the cashier would be re-
quired TO give them TO him. I

There lived in family nice, good
humored and good-sized monkey. Love
and charity this monkey decidedly pos
sessed, and it was dotingly fond Of the
baby Of the house. So fond had the
monkey become of the child that they
we're wheeled about together By q maid
servant in q little char. The child
would cry if the monkey was taken
away, and the monkey would grin, shake
her cage and chatter if not per
mitted 10 "take the air." One day
when the nurse had slipped of 10 dinner
the monkey got out Of its cage, and
finding the baby awake in the cradle
and sucking its thumb, the monkey
deemed that it wished for air and exer-
else.
So. taking the child out Of the crib,
the poor dear monkey carried the child
to the leads on the top Of the house, and
there sat with it on the edge Of gutter
representing the head Of satyr, which
on rainy days disgorged water immedi-
ately over the hard stones Of the paved
court below. The baby was missed from
its bed and then the monkey from It's
cage, and a general search commenced,
ending in the aforementioned disclOs-
ure on the gutter.
The father of the infant was SEN
sible as we'll as an afectionate man
the two things really went together
and he did his best TO prevent the ser
wants from screaming; but, try TO hush
them as he might, the child, having
benefited by the decidedly fresh air,
thought it heard its nurses voice, and,
being hungry, cried for food. The
monkey knew by reason" what the
baby cried for; instinct then suggest
ed that, the mouth being open, some
thing should be put in it
So the monkey carefully scaped all
the moss. SCOT and snapdragon growth
that was on the roof of the house into
a wad, and most kindly and assiduous-
Iy stuffed il into the baby's mouth, tast-
ing it herself first 10 see that 1t was
good. What the monkey thought of the
taste Of this food no one was near en-
ough to tell, but she gave it all to the
child.
Here was a dilemma-to be choked
with weeds and SCOT, or TO be dashed 10
pieces by fall
Horror held the entire household in
suspense, when a little boy, the coach
mans son, who knew the effect Of ap-
Piles on himself, was seen to crawl along
the gutter at the end ofwhich we're the
monkey and the child. when the mon

ward, and hobbled of to meet him.
The monkey and the boy had often ex-
changed civilities, the boy giving
half-rotten piece Of apple. best side up
per-most, for a good nut kept for future
enjoyment in the monkeys pouch.
And while they were again making
their exchange, and the monkey was
thumbing her cheek to get out the nut,
the boy got hold of the child, and the
trio, in full confidence with each
other, threaded the chimneys. slid down
the tiles and delivered themselves up
to the anxious family. The boy was
overwhelmed With thanks, aud the poor
monkey who had erred from no Want of
affection, but from the confusion Of in
tellect, reason and instinct, was given
away to street musician.-Milllon

What appeared to be a fair and equita-
bic treaty for the extradition II criminals
by and between tho United States and
Russia. turns out 10 tc measure EN-.
braeing many ~ the features 81 the
abhorrent Fugitive Slave act. The
treaty eor;emplaies that the United
States shall surrender 10 Russia all per-
sons who are charged with attempting
10 kill members II the Cars family.
This provision il innocent enough OF
itself. but the peculiar criminal juris-
prudence of Russia would transform il
into weapon 81 tyranny. The mere
suspicion that Russian had conspired
10 do violence To the family OF the Car
would be sufficient ground for a charge
10 that effect. No Russian would be
safe from the espionage OF minions Of
tho Russian government. No suspect
could escape unerring detection and re-
sultant extradition.
The spirit Of such a treaty is antag-
onisfic 10 everything American. This
country is an asylum for the oppressed
It offers shelter and protection 20 the
brave. bat politically hanished exiles Of
foreign tyranny. To make il a vast ma
chine 10 he used 10 garrote and torture

wrong doing is 20 subvert the purpose OF
our national existence.
The fear that Russian despotism may
gain foothold here has aroused Step

clare that he had once attempted the
