JIM BLAINE of Maine wouldn't ' make
a poor President , at all events. His
'book will net him $400,000. Freddie ,
my boy , put it a little milder , though ,
and Jeems may have the proud distinc
tion of belonging to the tribe of Eh.
FKALET , the St. Louis grain gambler ,
and Kecne , the New York stock gam
bler , are both going to resume. It is to
their credit that both will pay dollar
for dollar. There would not be many
tears shed , however , if neither could
resume. Men who gamble with stocks
do not have much more public sympathy
than men who gamble with cards.
EL MAHDI offers to ransom Gen.
Gordon for a half million pounds sterl
ing. ITiis indicates the immense value
the false prophet puts upon this Christ
ian soldier. If he actually had him , it
would beggar the exchequer and force
the bank of England to pawn its office
'furniture to pay his asking price. Be-
' % fre El Mahdi catches Gordon however ,
ttfeete considerable hunting and fight
ing to do. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
ENGLISH high life is having its share
Of sensations. A baron has been sent
to jail without bail for an indecent
assault upon a female servant ; a
wealthy barrister has been arrested on
a charge of murdering his bride , a mem
ber of parliament is in quod on a charge
ot forgery , and another has been captur
ed in Africa on the charge of plotting
with El Mahdi for the destruction of
his country.
GRANIT says : ' 'If the Re-
p\lblicans make a wisejselection they
< fwill carry the next election. I think
"our prospects are better than they
"Were four and eight years ago. " The
ge&eral knows a thing or two. He has
seen the democrats in congress helping
Jie republican party by their unwise
'bourse and knows that the republicans
will be able to elect their candidate
Without half a struggle.
EMERY STORES says : Let me tell you
something. Lincoln's stock , if 1 may
BO express myself , goes up higher and
higher every day , and what appears to
increase his strength and following is
the fact that he is making no personal
effort to push it forward. I would not
be the least surprise , after half a dozen
or more ballots are taken and the dele
gates are tired out if a Lincoln boom
was started that he would at once re
ceive the nomination.
Too much praise cannot be accorded
to the American Medical Association
for their action at Baltimore on "Wednes
day last , when they made a move to
ward elevating the standard of medical
education. A resolution was passed
Urging upon all medical colleges the
adoption of a system that shall require
a terttfof tuition to last for three years ,
and tf practical demonstration of diag
nostic skill. With an impulse of this
nture and a strict adherence to it , the
day of the quack will soon be a day of
the past ,
THE mystery about the missing steam
er State of Florida' has at last been clear
ed up. Survivors have reached Quebec
and tell the vessels fate. In the middle
of the ocean , she collided with a bark ,
-and of 110 persons on the two vessels
it is thought that only 20 escaped. The
details are not yet full enough to show '
just where the blame rests. But there
must have been some terrible blunder ,
or some criminal negligence about it.
Some accidents at sea may occur in pite
of the greatest care and diligence. A
collision in mid-ocean , however , is not
one of them :
SENATOR EDMUNDS has renewed the
effort to have General Grant put on
the retired list of the army , so as to be
secure as to his means of support the
remainder of his days without a surren
der of self-respect and independence.
He has probably lost what property he
had saved by the wreck of the firm in
which he had a large investment , rind
it is well enough known that he is too
old to be a successful business man ,
especially since he has never evinced
any talent for trade. It any officer has
merited the "safe harbor of the retired
list , it is
Tie death of * Charlegp'Gonor re
moves one of 'tlio most , eminent lawyers
* \ X J
of the United States. He was the son
of an educated Irish gentleman , and
was born in 1804 in New York city ,
where ho has always made his home.
After receiving a common school edu
cation , young O'Conor studied law , and
admitted to the bar at the age of 21
years. He was an untiring and indus
trious student , and in a few years , lie
worked himself to the front rank of his
provision , in which he became the ac
knowledged leader , a position which he
retained until his advancing years com
pelled him to retire from active prac-
tics. Charles O'Conor was always a
democrat in politics. The only political
office that he ever held , however , was
that of district attorney , for a few
months , under the administration of
President Pierce. He was a member
of the constitutional convention .of 1864.
Few people remember that Charles
O'Connor was once-nominated for the
presidency of the United States , but
such is the fact. In 1868 he was nom
inated for the presidency by the extreme
or "straight-out" democrats , and receiv
ed complimentary votes to the number
of about 30,000 , in various states.
During his public career Charles
O'Conor was regarded as one of the
leading lawyers and one of the most
eminent of American citizens. He was
engaged in some of the most important
cases ever tried in this country. A
quarter of a century ago there was no
better known man in the American
metropolis , and there was no better
known voice in the courts than his , ut
tering , as it did , the utter bitterness of
sarcastic emphasis. To the man of to
day , Charles O'Conor was a tradition.
Now that'he has passed quietly away ,
after years of retirement , Charles
O'Conor , by reason of his singularities
and his extraordinary abilities , is worthy
of recall to the people's memory. It is
claimed for him that he was the last of
the common lawyers , who believe the
common law to be the "perfection of
human reason. " He always stuck to
his old time logic and learning , and was
so thoroughly their master that he was
rarely overthrown by any opponent. It
is said of him that he never allowed his
preconceived opinion to be modified by
any subsequent event , that-he always
stuck to his prejudices , and never for
gave an enemy or fo'rgot a friend. Bee.
CYRUS H. McCoRMicK , head of the
great harvester manufacturing company
and supposed to be one of the richest
men in Chicago , died at his home in
that city , Tuesday morning , aged sev
enty-five years. He had been an invalid
for a number of years. He was born in
1809 , in Rockbridge county , "Virginia.
He was the son of Kobert R. McCormick -
mick , a farmer , who invented the orig
inal reaper in 1816 , but afterward aban
doned it , owing to its imperfections.
The deceased brought the invention tea
a successful completion in 1831 , when
twenty-one years of age. For this in
vention he was elected by the French
Institute a member of the Academy of
Sciences and received the decoration of
the Cross of the Legion of Honor. In
politics he was a democrat , and has
been prominent in his party as a mem
ber of the national committee. He
founded and liberally endowed the the
ological seminary of the northwest , con
ducted under the auspices of the Pres
byterian church" , and also endowed pro
fessorships in theWashington and Union
theological colleges in Virginia.
JAMES FELL , of Rich Hill , Missouri ,
and Jack Hanley , of Leadville , fought
with bare knuckles for a purse of $300
Tuesday afternoon. Fell was declared
winner on a foul in- the twenty-second
round. Both men were dead game and
'hard fighters. The battle ground was
just across the Platte river bridge on
the Republican Valley road , A party
of 100 left Omaha in a special train.
Two bad riots occurred at the ring , in
one of whicti a Leadville pugilist was
very roughly handled. Pistols were
trumps all the time. On the way home
there was a free fight on the train and
three men were shot. The cars were
running twenty miles an hour just west
of Midland , and the passengers all
jumped rather than be shot. John
Rauch , one of the wounded men , will
probably die. John McClellan , a saloon
keeper of Omaha , was shot through the ,
shoulder. It was the most .terrible
crowd of bad men that eyer left the
city on a similar occasion.
JULY 1 , Bob Ingersoll and his family
will remove to his $8,000 log cabin on
Dorsey's cattle ranch. Bob will adopt
the cowboy costume and herd jack
rabbits.
ALONG about Christmas time an
honest old citizen of Howard county ,
Nebraska , invited the son of an old
friend to make him a visit. Now
this old citizen had a daughter , he
has : her yet. by the way , that he very
much desired to see advantageously
disposed of in the matrimonial market.
He was so anxious , fact that he en
tered into a secret agreement with
IUB friend's son to woo and win her.
The young man accepted the invi
tation and spent a delightful winter
living off of his future father-in-law ,
driving his horses to country dances
svnd singing schools , and burning
his coal and oil. A few days ago
the young man woke up to the fact
that he must be at work. He also
discovered that he did not want the
girl he had bargained for and so told
the old man. The old man reluctantly
submitted to the inevitable , but has
brought suit to recover the winter's
board , fuel and lights bill.
CHAIRMAN SABIN has issued a circu
lar to the effect that tickets of admis
sion to the Republican National Con
vention have coupons for each probable
session. Each ticket will be numbered
and alloted to a particular scat , no pro
vision is made for weekly newspapers.
The daily papers are amply cared for
under the charge of John C. New . Tick
ets for delegates and alternates * and
general admission will be turned over
to the National Committee at Chicago
; the 31st day of May. Members of the
National Committee from each state
and territory have charge of the tickets
of his state or territory , and distribute
the same to delegates. Thus delegates
have the final distribution of the tickets
and are the proper and only persons to
whom application should be made.
THE Irish national League was in
secret session in Chicago for two days
last week to arrange for campaign
work in.the interest of the republican
party during the next presidential can
vass. It was decided to maintain
headquarters in Chicago , New York
and "Washington. The speaker who
will be sent out by the League will
be urged to attack the free trade
theory as the surest means of alienat
ing the Irish veterans from the demo
cratic party , on the ground that free
trade is an English measure. Twenty-
three states where represented at the
session. J. Curran Keeganof Colora
do , was elected General Secretary.
THE NEW York Times , discussing
Senator Van "Wyck's bill to prevent
others from owning lands in this country
says : "After the government shall have
recovered a part of what has been stolen ,
punished the thieves and taken meas
ures to prevent such stealing in the
future , it will be time to think about
preventing foreigners from acquiring
land in an honest , way at a fair price.
Punish the land thieves , be they alien
or native. That is the first work to be
done by congress and the interior de
partment with reference to the public
domain. " In other words the Times
does not believe in locking goods up
from thieves , but only in punishing
them after they have stolen.
THE national military encampment at
Dubuque , June 16-21 next , promises
to be a great affair. Companies from
all parts of the United States , with
bands , bass drums and cannon , will be
present. Among the attractions , accord
ing to a circular just issued , will be a
sham battle , in which "features are to
be .depicted in true imitation of the real
horrors of a genuine ballot. " If.this
doesn't prcve sufficient to draw a de
lighted multitude , the managers might
as well give up in despair.
