QUEEN VICTORIA is about to returr
to Balmoral , instead of staying in the
outskirts. Boston Herald.
AFTER a man has had turkey in sigh )
for a long time it is hard for him to eal
crow. New Orleans Picayune.
IT is very mortifying for a young man
to ask for a girl's hand and receive hei
father's foot. Lowell Citizen.
IF Governor Pattison licks the coal
ring in Pennsylvania he can have his
name recorded even above the champion
base ball nine of 1886. This seems to
be the tallest thing in sight.
IF the New York Democracy could
open polls at the coming election in the
penitentiary , the county jail , and Canada
they would accommodate quite a large
constituency that has been prominent in
city politics.
WITHOUT having any third party the
city of Atlanta has made the best and
mosfr successful fight for prohibition on
record. A recent appeal to the Supreme
Court by the saloons has just been de
cided in favor of law and order.
THE Chicago nine conferred more real
happiness upon St. Louis on Tuesday
than she has had since the Missouri
troops captured Lexington in 1SG1. The
natives are reported as all going upstairs
and yelling out of the front windows.
THE Americans residing in Canada
keep up their native modesty. The
Toronto Mail says : "The other Sunday
the minister at St. Thomas invited those
who had never done a mean action in
business to rise and exhibit themselves.
One man stood up.
THE supreme court of the United
States has rendered a decision to the
effect that a state cannot control inter
state commerce. The opinion was ren
dered by Chief Justice Miller , Justice
Bradley dissenting. The ruling of the
supreme court of Illinois is thereby
reversed.
THE secretary of the interior has de
cided that marriage , after an entry upon
government lands has been made by a
woman , is not a bar to perfecting title
thereon. This decision will be received
with favor in this part of the country ,
where it will have no little bearing on
this feature of the land question.
AFTER mature deliberation , Ella
Wheeler Wilc'ox has come to the con
clusion that "the east is a land of dead
men's bones , laid tier on mouldering
tier : and the danip malarial wind that
moans is the breath of those dead men
near. ' ' Ella has probably strayed into
a democratic convention somewhere.
THE sudden change of programme of
the President , and his notice that Mrs.
Cleveland would not accompany him to
Richmond , will cause some loud talk
south of Mason and Dixon's line. The
reason Mrs. C. did not go is reported to
be the announcement that "the daughter
of Jefferson Davis would assist in the
.Richmond reception. " The President
don't care to butt his own train off the
track.
Watch for it ! The first symptom of true
