SANCTUM GOSSIP.
 When MT. George Nathaniel Curzon, member of parliament, arrived home at Kidliston, in England. his 300 tenants all turned out to greet him and his bride. Being called upon to address them MT. Curzon. thanking them for their well come, said:
 The question has been asked why I went to America for bride. The answer is before you.
 Very neat, indeed !-Boston Herald.
 Mrs Curzon. who was Miss Letter, is as fair a specimen of womanhood as ever lived. Old England herself could not discount her, and her gallant hus- band seems to realize it..
 The Greenville Living Truth, White heads Populite paper, offers to send the Birmingham State to any address for 90 cents year. That's pretty cheap, but then the unpaid servant of the Silver League is a cheap money paper.-Mont- gomery Advertiser.
 Yes, everything is cheap, including ad- vertisements. subscriptions, etc.
 Your Uncle Benjamin is saying noth- ing and looking wise but a feeling of faintness steals over him whenever Sen ator Allisons name is mentioned.-In- dianapolis Sentinel.
 
 Allison will straddle the financial ques- tion, and then he is dead man.
 Editor Lane, in the Tribune of the 27th of April, quotes an item from the New Decatur Advertiser, and makes com ments on the same attributing the item to the Decatur News. Now, for this we are not going to say MT. Lane is igno- rant, but will suggest that there is a negro in the insane asylum who knows that the Advertiser and the News are not one and the same.-1untSville Fri bune.
 Some study having been caused by the foregoing. the Age-Herald wants to know what the negro had to do with it. Like the flowers that bloom in the spring, he appears to be a trine side tracked
 In summing up the papers of Alabama that do not favor the free coinage of sl- yer the Birmingham State uses the word postmaster after the Montgomery Ad- vertiser and Mobile Register. Of course 1t is plain that this is done to create the Impression that the financial fndorse- ment of the administration was pur- chased from these gentlemen by a Fed erai appointment. The State, however, does not attempt to show how many of the gentlemen editing free silver jour- nals are daily denounclng Mr.. Cleye- land because he failed to reappoint them when he was inaugurated Presi- dent March the 4th, 1S93.-Huntsville Mercury.
 To use your Uncle Henry Watterson's classic language, You shut upr' The State needs all it's wind to take care of It's own editor and pull him off the tar baby. He has on his hands the job of explaining his gold razoo for the Regis ter in '93. and his silver bazoo for the State in '95. Don't crowd man, brother.
 If the Republicans should take a mo- tlon to nominate a Southern man for Niee-President, Henry Clay Evans of tennessee would answer the purpose ad- miraby.-Globe-D Democrat
 Verify Daniel come to judgment! Somebody is trying to break up some thing by this Southern suggestion. The Republicans can bite if they want to; the Democrats prefer to wait until the needs of the country indicate the proper candidate, even if it ends up in Charley Crisp's young Lochnvar" riding out of the West and-riding back again
 An exchange says Capt. Joseph F. oCii'StCAi 10 WiitiiiS lOI llle IeWSDdpeTS. The Age Herald said all the time he had no connection with the Daily State, but Jelks and Glass would have it that way. John Wanamaker has a lengthy era nium. He gave a dinner and invited the whole of the Pennsylvania Legislature, Governor Hastings being the guest of honor. Everything was on a magnif- cent scale, and, to quote a graphic con- temporary. he "blew himself" Some body incidentally remarked upon the ele- gance of the silver service, and Wanny, catching only a part of the sentence, said Yes. yes; but what do you think of the prospect of war in Europe?" Those hungry legislators grew merry on his cheer, and now they are mean enough to say Wanny wants Don Cam
