Count and Countess Szechenyi had
most glorious time when they
reached Buda-Pesth, according to the
following account given in an ex-
change:
Whenever they. appeared on the
street they were surrounded by mobs,
all clamoring for money, which they
seemed to think the American and
her fortunate husband were ready to
throw away. At their hotel the po-
lice dispersed an assembly of more
than thousand persons, every one
of whom was demanding audience of
the count and countess and was in
quest Of largesse In the evening
they were pursued by photographers
whose magnesium lights frightened
their horses and caused them to run
away"
If she ever read it the countess
must have been reminded of old Ben
Franklin's little story about paying
for the whistle.

that he was black man, while on

The good city of Philadelphia is
experiencing a novel sensation caused
by the discovery that some of her
policemen are professional burglars,
having been actually caught, tried
and convicted. The result is not
surprising and its source is directly
traceable to practical politics, which
gave men office as reward for eff
cheney in ballot box stuffing and
other forms of political rasca1ity.
But after all, it must be admitted
that these policemen are only imitat-
ing the example of their superiors.

is no longer any compelling reason

Referring to the sanguinary combat
in Little Rock, in which Jeff Davis
took SO conspicuous a part, the New
York Tribune remarks:
Not since certain leading Arkan-
san threatened to drive Jeff Davis
into the Arkansas River with light
ming bug on the end of a corncob
has anything SO serious happened"
This remark shows that the Tribune
has investigated the matter very
thoroughly and sized Jeff up as sim
ply cowardly braggart, which is the
reputation he bears at home.
