A French correspondent writes
tJaAt when Moltke is offered a pinch
of snuff in parliament he snuffs it up
nostrils as if he were loading a
double barreled gun. What else
could you expect of such a fellow. A
man has either a long train of antece
dents or he has not,and you can’t get
of that dilemma.
It looks as if the Plymouth breth
ern were going to dicipline Henry C.
Bowen as they have diciplined Mrs.
Emma Moulton. It will be Bowen’s
time next to call for a mutual coun
| cil.
Judge David Davison, of Illinois,
