81 PIunkard Coming.

j. C. Lewis, one of the cleverest of
comedians, assisted by a company of
merit, will present the amusing Yam
kee drama, Isl Plunkard," at the Au-
ditorium Tuesday, March q.
Mr.. Lewis has surrounded himself
with good company of comedians.
the characters of the play especial
ly the principal ones, are not greatly
oyerdrawn from real life, and that
makes the fun genuine and hearty. 81
Plunl.ard is the story of an unsuspect-
ing, simple old farmer being defrauded
by sharper from the city, assisted by
an INSCRIPTIONS Jew. Mr.. ]. C. Lewis
appears in the character of the trad-
tional Downeaster, 81 Plunkard,
whose chief reason for being is to
serve as a foil to the conventional
william. This season the comedy has
been rewritten and will be presented
with all new features and all new
specialties by a talented company of
comedians, making it an up-to-date
farce comedy success.

Sale Of Street Imuroyement Bonds.

Ii will be remembered that an ad-
vertlsement was run in the newspapers
asking for bids on a certain lot of
street Improvement bonds and that
later bids were received and opened,
and at a regular meeting of the City
Council the sale was awarded to the
highest bidder, viz, w. ]. Hays & Sons
of Cleveland.
When they were notified that they
had been awarded the bonds they be-
gan to make inquiry as to the validity
OF the sale and all the steps leading
thereto. The city officials also began
to look the matter up and found that
only one of the English papers had
published the advertisement long
bids to make the advertisement legal
The officials notified the bidders that
the German paper had run The adver-
tisement fully thirty days prior to the
opening of the bids, but they cite a
case where the Supreme Court of Ohio
has said that an advertisement in
German paper could not be held as le-
gal However, they have referred the
matter to their attorney and are wait
ing his decision in the case. They
suggest that as the decision cited is
several years old there may have been
something later rendered on the same
suUJcL.
The matter as it now stands seems to
be that the sale of bonds will have to
be re-advertised and in that case the
sale will have to be deferred for an
other thirty or forty days at least, and
that it may be some trouble to get bids
again. 1t may be, however, that 1T
will be founI tnat an advertisement of
the kind mentioned is now held in law
to be a legal advertisement when in
serted in a German paper and in that
case it will remove all difficulty now
thought to exist.

We Are Discovered By Europe,

In an Grafton at the Lotos Club on
Saturday night Doctor and Senator
Depew most eloquently pictured the
discovery of this Great Republic by
Europe. There has been an impression
that for more than a century the eyes
Of the oppressed of the European
lands have been turned longingly and
hopefully toward us, and that the fame
of our liberty, of our equal opportuni-
ties for all, has caused millions to
come from thence to us. This, II
seems, is mistake. According to Mr..
Depew, Europe really discovered us on
Friday last through the parade at NAL
a of our citizen soldiers on their way
% Manila, bearing the blessings of
civilization and liberty to the lands
aud peoples" of the Philippines
New York World.

A Statement.

Editor Leader-In reply to report OF
proceedings of Board of Education last
night as reported by the Register and
Times, permit me to say that did not
say the Putnam Hall property had
been offered for $4,000, nor did l say
that the property was worth $l5, 900.
What / said was, did not believe it
would be wise for the Board of Educa-
tion TO ask the citizens of Marietta to
vote us $4,000 to purchase the Putnam
I-all property. l did not think the
GROUND alone was worth that
amount of money by from $500 to
$4,000; and in face of tie fact that
there was a FEELING among a good
many people that the property had
been offered for $4,000, l thought it
would be wise to surrender the option,
Regarding plans, neither che com
mite nor any member of the committee
did GO to see any one or get
ANY special one to make plans. The
only people submitting plans called
upon mebers of the committee for in
formation which was furnished to the
best of their ability. w. S. DYE.

An Interesting Manuscript Publica-

In Sharon, Connecticut, is and old
stone mansion which has sheltered six
generations of one family. Packed
away in chests, barrels and baskets in
its wide garrets are many thousands of
gradually accumulated letters ami pa
pers. Filling portmanteau, and per-
haps left just as they were hastily
stuffed into it by a young Yale College
graduate in 1884, when he was quitring
the college dormitory for the last time
was found a motley collection OF let
ters, essays, translations, notes of lee
lures, and accounts of expenditures
Most interesting of ALL for our present
purpose, are two diaries and three odd
copies Of manuscript publication, edit
ed by the young collegians sister, Jul
inana Smith.
The Clio, Literary Miscellany, was
legibly written in the script of differ
ent hands. The ink is still of an ex-
cellent black. The large coarse tex
tured sheets of foolscap are ruled down
the center of each page to form two
columns, and the several sheets are
tied together by cords of braided
homespun unbleached linen thread.
The three numbers are respectively
dated December 10th, 1870" January
30th, 1871 and October, 1881" They
contain odes, essays, proverbs, puzzles,
sketches, jokes, most of the last being
of local coloring that has not stood the
test of age. The contents, particular
ly the sketches, would compare very
favordbly with lne larger part of the
printed matter of the periodicals of
the day. 1t is especially notable, con-
sidering the interest in polemics which
characterized the period, that we find
no reference to theological opinions.
Perhaps the disappearance Of so
many copies of The Clio is due to the
then precarious means of transporta-
tfon; but, in view of the scarcity of
printed periodicals., it is more likely
hat when the little papers were re-
ceived by brother Jack" they were

viving numbers-one, four and nine
teen-had been carefully mended to
prevent them from falling to pieces

The Navy Department of the United
States has received the highest COM
pliment from England that it is posi-
BILE for her to give. She has asked
and been granted the use of the full
plans of the bat,.e ship Oregon for the
use of her own naval constructors to
build ship exactly like the Oregon.
Great Britain now seems to be ranking
the United States as the second naval
power IN the world, and that in itself
Is quite compliment, but when she
goes to the extent of asking for the
use of plans of one of our ships it
shows Sthat she has respect for Amer
ican brains. She should not forget,
however, that it was not the vessel
alone that did such wonderful feats in
the late war, but that she was manned
by brave soldiers and sailors that at all
times did their duties cheerfully and to
them belongs great share of the cred
it for her achievements.

The Next Pope.

The age of Leo XIII. and his recent
illness has revived interest in the
periodical discussion of his successor.
Upon one point the clerical opinion
seems to meet, that the next pope will
be an Italian. The present is not re-
garded as a favorable time for an Eng
lish or American Pope, and Nicholas
Breakspear bids fair to remain in
memory as the only Anglo-Saxon
who has ever filled the pontiflcal posi-
tion. The Italian cardinals are a unit
on the choice of an Italian Pope; the
nOn-Italians are more disposed to
agree upon an Italian than upon one
of any other country. The favorite
Italian candidates are Cardinal Luigi
Oreglia and Cardinal Vannutelli Ser
afino. The former is Piedmontese,
seventy-One years of age and orger of
the sacred college. He has held high
ecclesiastical offices, is of noble fam
lily and has diplomatic experience in
Portugal and Holland. AS chamber
lain of the church during the interreg-
mum between the death of Leo XIII.
and the opening of the conclave he
would be called upon to direct the af-
fairs OF the church Cardinal Serafino
Is six years younger than Cartlinal
Oreglia and was born in the neighbor-
hood OF Rome. He has held high
church Offices and served as a diplomat
at Munich, Brussels and Vienna and in
Mexico, Ecuador and Peru. He is said
to possess in a remarkable degree the
quality of prudence, which, combined
with his learning and piety, has won
for him the esteem of many of his col
eagues.-Columbus Disptach.

Rotation in Office.

The civil service rules gives an office
holder life tenure in public position.
No matter if the incumbent becomes
old and inefficient, he remains and
draws his salary.
The routine of public Office especial
ly at Washington in the Departments,
is soon n-iearned and within a few weeks
the new appointee learns how to con-
duct the work to which he is assigned
nearly as we'll as the old residenter.
Now We do not want to misrepresent
the situation. OF course there are GER
tain positions which require expert
service. We viii except them, but for
the most part there is no good reason
why any man or woman in public Of
fee should hold the same for a longer
period than ten years or through two
administrations. American youth
coming on have a right to demand an
equal opportunity to seek and hold Of
flee with every other American, be he
in Office or out of Office.
This country will not submit to fos-
ter an office holding class. The tend
ency is that way. Holding Office and
seeking Office becomes a profession
and regular business. Is that what
the fathers contemplated when they
built, as We say, Wiser than they
knew" No, certainly; they never
dreamed of anything but rotation in
Office. We are gradually departing
from the original idea of public Office
which was supposed to seek the man.
Alas, row far away from that we have
now departed.

j1 !n1et-s Bowl of Cruel.

George Melville. an old English acto-
was fond OF telling funny story at hi,
own expense. He was acting Hamlet Il
Bristol. 1t was the actors rule to ia l,e
bowl of Cruel in the course of tht
evening. and his landlady sent over the
usual refreshment from the lodgings in
Queen square. She happened to have a
new servant girl. who was explicitly
directed to get to the stage door by the
entrance from Bank street and then
carry the Cruel into the greenroom
She arrived at moment when Mr..
Melville was ''on." Being unused to
the ways of the theater, she asked a
man at the wings where Mr. Melville
was.
''There. said the super, pointing to
the stage.
The actor was in the middle of the
soliloquy, ITO be or not to be- when
the girl advanced toward him, bearing
the bowl, and said, ''If you please, Mr.
Melville. sir, here is your Cruel
