An Arkansas editor heads a notice of the death of Mrs. Stewart with the words, “Our richest widow dead.” That is much hotter than the expression “our wife,” used by the country editor when speaking of his own wife. The llayne Literary Circle of Augusta postponed its n guhir weekly meeting last Monday night to allow tho members opportunity to see the play of the “Gladiator” at the theatre. There is something about MuMoon, the wrestler, that pulls, Congressman Gkokge I). Wise has been prematurely arrested to prevent '' him from iigbtirg a duel. An effective way to treat this kind of truculent states man might lie to let him light and then apply Virginia’s constitutional provision to him, which lakes from all who engage in duels the right to vote or hold auv office (M'bituor, profit or trust under the constitution. 9 Miss K ate I 'ei.ii stood up at a public tiamiuvi •recently and gave a touch “The men, God bless them."

A number of stars are looking for a Brann new play, and this . may be the one they want. Mouk recounts in Now Jersey legisla tive districts put the result of the elec tion there again in doubt, with the chances that the democrats will either have a small majority in the legislature, >r that a labor candidate elected by democratic votes will hold the balance of power. If the latter should lie the ease, the representative of labor will have a bard time of il, with a good chance of using his reputation, however fair lie may be. It is strange that men who protend ■i.o believe in popular government can allow partisan zeal to influence them so much as to lead them to “gerrymander” a state or to defend any such trick in tended to deprive the people of fair ex pression of their views by their repre sentatives. But both democrats and re publicans engage in this abominable business whenever they get the oppor tunity. Indiana has been gerryman dered by the democrats so that a repub lican majority of voters fails to get con trol of the legislature, which represents .a minority of the voters at.the lust elec tion. Ohio has been gerrymandered by f he republicans so that the latter have a < disproportionately large share of the members of congress representing the tate, and Pennsylvania is the same .way. HII.KXC1: OK Till? WUPiK.I SORT. Once upon ii time, iu a variety theatre, one of the subordinates mulled upon the “(age and interrupted the performance, exclaiming, "Simpkins has stolen my perquisites I” This appeal to the audience was greeted with shouts of laughter and with cries which could scarcely he mis taken for applause. The appellant for the sympathy and justice of the audience retired, amid the uproar, to his place be hind the scenes, and tho business of the stage was resumed, with as much order as could be expected under the circum stances. Simpkins met his accuser in the wilderness waste of “wings” and flapping canvas, and the crude ingre dients of mimic thunder and lightning, and he bought, or convinced, or seared his accuser, and the mollified complaint,t rushed hack upon the stage und shouted, “Simpkins did not steal my perquisites.” This manly retraction was greeted by the audience with a greater burst of noise than the accusation had provoked ; hut there was a hissing accompaniment which indicated that the audience re garded accuser and accused as a forlorn couple of idiots. The theatre claims to “hold the mirror up to nature.” However this may be in the general course and long run, the mirror was certainly displayed in this particular instance. The audience eared not two straws for the two actors in this supplementary farce, but did enjoy the amusement which grew out of it. “All the world’s a stage,” and as all the men and women are held to he merely players, some irate person, full of self, is every now and then bursting upon the world, the aforesaid stage, with private griefs, equivalent to the loss of personal per quisites. The reception which the com plaint receives has usually littlesympathy for the interrupter. The conclusion to which he comes in the end is that, so far us his own supposed relations to the gen eral public are concerned, “silence is golden.” lie ought to have kept his growl to himself—he should have con cealed his sore head, instead of parading it in public. Of course, in matters of general inter est publicity is inevitable. But it is hu man infirmity to regard one’s own self as the centre of the great community, or at least of the lessor circle in which most of ns live und move. The Three Tailors of Too ley street, who wrote themselves “the people of England,” cut out a suit which, like a stock of ready-made cloth ing, may fit anybody'. A book has just been published upon “Tho Self-conscious ness of Noted Persons.” It is not only the “noted” who are possessed of a brave idea of themselves. The unnoted are just as lull of self us tho prominent. The wise keep their own secret, and their memory is most pleasant whose secret, estimate of themselves dies with them. The oleomargarine tax law is likely to have, in some directions, quite a reverse effect from what was intended. While manufacturers expect a present falling oil' of sabs, due to cnioroeinont of the law, reports from all over the country’ show n general impression among producers that, in time, the use of oleomargarine will far exceed anything it has Syet known. Il is aid that constant im provements in tho original processes en able a suhJiinco In he manufactured which surpasses any but the very puri st butter, and that, when the public become educated to the u.-e of the substitute, genuine butter will take a secondary place for general u-e. The prohibition vote of Pennsylvania atthelast election was more than twice as large as that, east in 1SS-1 for the St. John electors. Tho total reached 82,44b. falling short of the lowest prohibitionist estimate (40,000), hut exceeding the gen eral estimate put upon if by active poli ticians. The “country” districts helped the vote largely, the great cities doing much less than their share, though the gain in both Philndelplr.aand Alleghenpy exceeded the average gain for the state. The vote is not large enough anywhere to he much of a menace to tiro other parties, and, unless it can be materially increased, might better be employed in helping one or the other of existing par ties to elect good men than in fruitleis third party schemes. A caulk dispatch from London reports that the powers have all agreed upon Russia’ .candidate for the Bulgarian throne, Prince Nicholas of Mingrolia. if true, this probably settles that branch of the subject for the present, though “the interesting fact remains" to believers in homerulethat the Bulgarians themselves have not chosen him, but another fellow. The choice of a ruler there is as big a sham as the occasional choice of United States senators in this country. Tin: telegraph editor of the Savannah News is resolved never to be ambiguous. In the News of November 17 he heads Adjutant-General Drum’s report on the militia, “Sons of Mars by Birth.” Il has rolled a burden as big as a cotton bale ( if our mind to read that flaming headline. We were afraid all along that they might be sons of Mars by death. It was evi dently one of Ma’s youngest sons that wrote that head line. If the man who thinks he can run a newspaper as it should be run, also thinks he can run a circus, he has an excellent chance to buy out W. W. Cole and try his luck. There are men in this world, unfortunately, who have just talent enough to attend to everybody’s business but their ow u. Ii- Mr. Powderly’s advice 1-; of such I weight and importance a« to put an end to the Chicago packers’ strike, alter great loss lias been incurred by both the work ing packers and their employers, would it not have been much better to have u.-ked and taken that advice before be ginning t'ie strike? This is a simple enough question, and yet it lies at tho root of the successful conduct of the real business of the Knights of Labor. They have been like an army of independent commands, only recognizing the authori ty of a chief when they are beaten in de tail and need.his help. Complete sub r dination of local assemblies and of indi vidual members is necessary to make the organization strong and effective. The Atlanta Capitol says: “The dinner of last Tuesday, given to the military, was probably the first military dinner ever given in Georgia without alcoholic beverages.” ft is not understood how the toast could go round and after dinner speeches stand alone; but the Georgia militia is a brave body and ought to he encouraged. There is economy in cutting the liquor Hill at a banquet. Puof. Foster, the Iowa weather prophet, savs there will be a big storm November IS. and winter will begin in earnest December 1. He is probably right about the beginning of winter. A winter generally shows up about the first of December. A max in Pennsylvania has been sent to a chain gang for swapping wives with another man. He doubtless deserves his punishment, and when Chicago is more civilized some of her citizens will be chained-gariged for swapping their wives. At a convention of United Presbyte rians held in Pittsburg it was resolved that the organ must be kept out of the church or it will cause a split. Belter let her split and reorganize on a more in telligent basis. Philadelphia is a peculiar and well laid-out city. The Inquirer says: “You can’t make an accurate map of the scene of any public event without including one or more saloons.” DID DAVIS WRITE IT ? A l.cltfr From Him tu UuTmior Vuncc in ISliil, Baltimore, November 19.—The Sun will publish to-morrow a letter written by Jefferson Davis, president of the confeder acy, to Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, iu January, 1863, which is believed to be the letter referred to by Gen. Sherman in the recent controversy, and upon which Sher man based his charge that Davis threat ened to use Lee’s army to coerce the south ern states. The letter was published in the Raleigh (N. C.) Standard in January, 1883, but lias been cut from the files of that paper and was given to the Sun by un ex- conlederate officer, who found it among the effects of a gentleman recently deceased, who was preparing a history of North Carolina. The document, which is quite lengthy, rehearses the futile efforts made by Davis to obtain a confer ence with the lenders looking to a peace ful settlement of the difficulties, and eon- cluds as follows “I fear much from the tenor of the news i received from North Carolina that an nt- f nipt will be made by some bad men to inaugurate movements \vhf Ii rmi.u he considered as equivalent to aid and corn- tort the enemy, and which all patriot* should combine to put down at any cost.
