It is now regarded as pretty certain that
the alleged filibusters who were reported
to have sailed for Cuba last week were
only a squad of maroone-rs who are now

It is stated again that Hon. Frank Hurd
has actually made up his mind to contest
ltomels’ right to a seat in Congress.
While there is a question as to whether
the latter is a citizen of the United States

of lraud, and the probabilities are that
Hurd has suflicieut proof to make out his
case.
An incident occurred in Sullivan coun
ty, H. Y., the other day which may or may
not throw some light on the Jonah ques

having used a live minnow for bait.
Thirty-six hours afterwards the pickerel
was opened and the minnow was found in
its stomach alive, and it quickly swam off
when placed in water.
The question of requiring the armories

is made for the compensation of the de
tails when on actual duty.
One of inventor Keely’s ex-workmen
has published a card declaring that the
motor deception is operated by compress

whose name is Baker, has exposed the
secret, and that he has cooked Mr. Keely’s
goose.

The indications are that the guns of the
Christian nations will resound through

Some shrewd people in North Stoning
ton. Conn., have been mal' s ng coasider
able money by raising foxes to supply the
demand which was created by the offer of
fo iKjunty for each fox scalp by the au
thorities of the township. A large num
ber ot scalps were recently imported
from neighboring townships. It seems
like the bounty is encouraging the pro
duction instead of the extermination of
foxes, and steps w ill be taken at once to
remedy the matter.
The St. Louis Hepublican says: “The
iwnefactor to whom the Southern cotton
Suites will owe more than to any other
claimant on their gratitude will be the
man who shall persuade them to substi
tute farming with all that it means for
planting with all that it means.” Very
true; but the people of the Southern
States have heard something of the kind
before. There are about 409,000 benefac
tors of that kind now claiming the
gratitude of the people.
Two precocious young rascals collected
some six hundred dollars among the
brokers of New York on Christmas day
in the name of the Western Union Tel
egraph messenger boys, in whose uni
forms they were dressed. Aftey they had
victimized a large number of people they
were finally captured by detectives and
relieved of their ill-gotten gams. The
orokers will not open their hearts to the
messengers next Christmas unless they
present their credentials.
The report of the lease of the unoccupied
lands of the Cherokee Indians for the
lump sum Of $300,000 per annum will
doubtless create a good deal of indigna

to seize upon these lands and appropriate
them to their own use. This rent money
will give each man, woman and child of
the Nation about S2O, which will be suffi
cient to support them from one end of the
year to the other. The lessees are them
selves Indians and leading men of the
C berokees.

Mr. Randall at Louisville.
Mr. Randall’s speech at Louisville
doubtless, a lair sample of all the
speeches that he will make during his
st 4„ m the South. Ilis purpose is to
make friends in this section for the policy
of protection. It is not probable that he
will meet with much success. He will
be received everywhere with great cor
diality. and will be listened to with re
spect.’ He has been told, perhaps, that
the protection sentiment in the South is
increasing, and that with a little encour
agement the Ikitnocratic party of this sec
tion would favor the jiolicy of protection.
The recent letter 6f Senator Brown to
Judge Wright, of Rome, is calculated to
give him that impression. It is needless
to say that there is no difference in the
views entertained by Senator Brown and
Mr. Randall with respect to the tariff.
Mr. Randall, however, does not know
what Senator Brown has had every op
portunity to know, viz: that the senti
ment in favor of protection is weaker in
the South at present than it has ever been.
Outside of the sugar and rice districts it
is not easy to find any marked sentiment
in lavor of protection. In the iron and
coal sections, and in the manufacturing
localities there are a few protectionists,
but there are reasons for thinking that
the most of those controlling mining and
manufacturing industries are in favor ot
tariff reform.
But Mr. Randall declares that he is in
favor of tariff reform and he does not
want any more revenue collected than is
absolutely necessary for the needs of the
government economically administered.
He wants the duties imposed, however,
so as to protect American industries.
This is about what he said in his Louis
ville speeeh.
Mr. Randall does not deal as frankly
with the people as a man in his position
ought. Before the tariff is touched he
insists that all internal revenue laws shall
be repealed. If that is done how* can
there he any reduction ol the tariff? Mr.
Randall does not touch on that point, and
hence, lacks frankness. He is entirely
safe inj taking a position in fa
vor of glueing tariff taxation to a
point wt re there will be no surplus, pro
vided the internal revenue taxes are first
repealed, because there will be no sur
plus, and hence, no possibility of a re
duction of the tariff.
Mr. Randall would have the people be
lieve that they are greatly harassed on ac
count of the internal revenue laws. But
are they? It is true that under Republi
can rule internal revenue oflicials have
been used to annoy the people, but all that
will soon be changed. After March 4 next
only those who attempt to evade the laws
with criminal intent will have occasion
to complain of the internal revenue sys
tem.
Mr. Randall attacks the internal reve
nue laws, not in the interest of the people,
but of protection. He sees that the only
way to save the present high protective
tariff is to get rid of the internal revenue
taxes. He does not say to the people
that it is better for them to have cheap
wbisky than cheap necessaries ot life, but
that is exactly what his teachings mean.
Would the people o! the South
rather l&ve cheap whisky than
cheap blankets, hats, clothes and other
necessaries? If they would, then they
are ready to adopt Mr. Randall’s views.
Take the tax oil whisky and whisky mills
would become as plentiful as cotton gins.
The prohibition sentiment, now so strong
in many parts ol the South, would be
unable to make progress against the in
fluences of free whisky. The sixty pro
hibition counties in this State would
again become whisky counties. But who
wants free whisky ? The people don’t
want it, and the great distillers don’t
want it. Mr. Randall, Senator Brown
and the protection monopolists want it in
order that they may be able to command
an enormous profit on iron and some other
things.
Let Mr. Randall in his speeches tell the
I>eople to what extent the tariff can be re
duced if the internal revenue taxes are
abolished, and when he answers, as
answer he must, that the tariff cannot be
reduced at all, he will have no further
occasion to declare himself in favor of a
revision of the tariff. Ilis object will be
at once exposed.
That Mr. Randall is not in favor of re
ducing tbe tariff is shown by the fact
that he aided the Republicans last winter
to defeat the Morrison bill. He refused
to support that measure for getting rid of
the surplus revenue, and he did not pro
pose any measure of his own. He is not
more anxious now than he was then to
reduce the tariff.
Mr. Beecher and the South.
There are very few who had any Idea
until last Sunday that one of the reasons
that led Henry Ward Beecher to support
Gov. Cleveland for President was his
dissatisfaction with the way the Republi
can party treated the South. Until the
last campaign Mr. Beecher was regarded
by Southern people as inimical to the
South. Last Sunday, as stated in our
dispatches, Mr. Beecher took occasion,
after the services in Plymouth Church, to
give his reasons for supporting Gov.
Cleveland and to apologize tor two or
three things that he had said in the heat
of the canvass, and which he was not
disposed to stand by when he thought
them over in cooler moments. The occa
sion of his explanation was the rumor
that a large number of prominent pew
holders had determined to give up their
pews in his church because he had
opposed Blaine.
In the course of his explanation Mr.
Beecher said: v
My hope was that God would give the
Republican party the last blossom of
honor, and as it had politically and finan
cially reunited the land, so it would have
wisdom ministered to it to hring in a sen
timent of unity and of love, which was the
very last thing to be done. This I hoped
would have been done, and I was disap
pointed bitterly when it was not thought
of, when an entirely different sort of in
fluence had control; and 1 ielt that it had
again come to pass, as it was, in the days
of Israel, when that man who had led
them out of Egypt, and through the wil
derness, and had come in sight of the
Promised Land, was not allowed to gain
it, and only looked on that Land of Prom
ise. God "is my witness that I would
have shed tears of joy, I would have given
my life—if only the Republican party
could have had in its platform such a wel
come to the South and such a sanction of
cordiality as to have made one of its great
candidat3S a Southern man. To complete
the whole unity I could have laid down
my life joyfully. But they planted, wa
tered and nourished, and then were not
wise enough to pluck the fruit. From
conviction as deep as any I ever had in
my life, after long consideration and some
uncertainty, I went into the canvass.
It seems from the above that the main
reason that led Mr. Beecher to enroll him
self among the supporters of Gov. Cleve
land was the determination of the Repub
lican party to continue to wave the bloody
shirt. Mr. Beecher acted wisely and did
excellent work.
'lhe Drummers’ Tax.
The city revenue ordinance for the com
ing year will probably reduce the
tax on drummers to $lO a week, with 10
per cent, off for prompt payment. This
will be slight improvement. Under the
ordinance for lsS3 about $4,000 was col
lected from drummers: this year, under a
more liberal ordinance, the city’s income
from the drummers’ tax was $6,500.
The proposed tax probably will pre
vent drummers from visiting the city as
often as they would if the tax were lower.
Many of them only stay a day
and $9 10 is very often a con
siderable amount to take out of
a day’s profits on sales. Why not try
a tax of $5 a week? That amount would
not discourage drummers from visiting
the city: they would pay that sum readi
ly, and the number ol them who would
visit the city would be so much greater
that the total amount received from them
during the year would be larger than if
double that tax were imposed. Drum
mers help trade. They keep business
stirred up, prevent monopolies, and give
the dealers (and consequently the con
sumers) lower prices, and make living
cheaper.
An anxious country has not yet been
informed whether or not Hon. Tom Ochil
tree has been invited to be present at the
unveiling of the Lasker monument on
Jan. 5. It is feared that Tom was not as
intimate a friend of the great German
statesman as he thought he was.
Gen. Grant’s Financial Troubles.
Tbe parade which Gen. Grant’s friends
are making of his financial troubles mast
cause him great annoyance and even
humiliation, if he is at all sensitive. Be
fore he was elected President he was the
recipient of many gilts, and even while
he was President the salary of the Presi
dential office was doubled, with the idea
of enabling him to retire at the end of his
public career with a Competency. He
saved very little, however, aud he had
not been a private citizen long before it
became necessary for his friends to help
him. He does not seem to have the
faculty of taking care of money. No-_
body seems to know very clearly what
has become of the $250,000 which was con
tributed for his support a few years ago
by the rich men of New York. Different
stories have been told about it. It has
been stated that it is Invested in bonds
which have become practically
worthless, and it has also been stated that
it is invested in excellent securities, and
yields a good income. Those who know
the truth appear disposed to remain
silent.
It is certain that Mr. Vanderbilt now
has a judgment which covers all Gen.
Grant’s visible property, even the pre
sents which he received from foreign gov
ernments during his trip around the
world.
There appears to be some doubt al>out
what Mr. Vanderbilt intends to do with
his judgment. He has taken an in
ventory of Gen. Grant’s real estate and
personal effects, and it may tie bis pur
pose to order them sold under an execu
tion. Perhaps he wants Gen. Grant’s
curious and very valuable collection of
gilts to adorn his Fifth avenue mansion.
Although he is the richest man in the
country, he is just as much entitled to
have the money that Gen. Grant owes him
as if he were a poor man. He will be
subjected to a great deal of criticism, of
course, if he strips Gen. Grant of his
property, but, as ho claims to be in
different to public opinion, he will not
care, probably, what may be his
action.
In the meantime Gen. Grant’s friends
are stirring around to see what can be
done to help him in his trouble. One sug
gestion is that the gifts shall be bought by
the nation and placed in the Smithsonian
Institution as curiosities. Nothing could
be done that would more surely make
Gen. Grant prominent in the minds of fu
ture generations as the great gift taker.
Harsh as the suggestion seems the best
thing, probably, that Gen. Grant’s friends
can do, if they succeed in raising another
fund for him, is to appoint someone to
look after his financial affairs.
While it is true, probably, that he knew
nothing of the rascally way In which the
business of the firm of Grant & Ward
was conducted, it is equally true that a
man with the least bit of common sense
would have known that the business was
not legitimate.
CUIUIKNT COMMENT.
Pennsylvania’s Big Bounty.
Nashville World (Drm.).
The fact that Pennsylvania keeps her fur
naces going by the *6 20 per ton bounty fur

Orant and His Friend Vanderbilt.
Philadelphia Time# (Ind.).
The legendary Belisarins, who was reduced
from his hour of triumph when a medal was
struck in his honor, declaring him “the glory
of the Roman Empire,” to the humiliation of
being led about asking the passer-by to “give
an obolus to Belisarins,” is not more pathetic
than this view of the American Belisarius in
the claws of a rapacious harpy.
Webster’s Political Suicide.
Galveston News (Pern.).
Daniel Webster, whom the Boston Globe
calls America’s greatest statesman, was a
free-trader, but when protection became for
the interests of his State he turned protec
tionist. From that time his influence aud power
began to wane. An cvery-man-for-himself
and-thc-devil-take-the-liindmost policy may
temporarily help a state or nation, but it will
beat somebody elsc’sexpense. Civilization
will be retarded, and that means universal
injury and ultimate retribution for the guilty
one.

also been connected by telegraph, so that it is
possible in case of accident, cither to the

William C. Hudson tells this story about
Mr. Tilden: “One day he said to his physi
cian, ’Doctor. I can’t stand that medicine you
are giving me; it hurts my stomach.’ ‘Oh,
but, Mr. Tilden, the medicine is doing you a
great deal of good.’ ‘1 presume so, but I
shall not take it hereafter.’ ‘l’m sorry to hear
vou say that; but if you are determined on
this course I would warn vou earnestly that
you must stop using it gradually.’ ‘You doc
tors don’t know everything. I quit using that
medicine three weeks ago.’ wasn’t that a
picture of a self-willed old gentleman?”
A curious story is told concerning the
Washington Republic, a weekly paper pub
lished by 11. J. Rumsdell and modeled some
what after tbe style of the London society'
journals. Though edited with ability its Held
is. for obvious reasons, so limited that it never
could hope to attain much of a financial suc
cess. In a happy moment before the election
its owner, who "was understood to have of
fered it for sale for a number of years, but in
vain, conceived the idea of betting his paper
against *5.000 on Blaine’s election. The offer
was accepted by the present owner. Some
people think his predecessor had by far the
best of the bargain.
Travelers out on the red hills, says a
California paper, have often shuddered at the
sight of horned toads, which are as numerous
as blackbirds. The ugly creatures are as
much dreaded as rattlesnakes, but a China
man spent all summer and fall gathering
them. Recently he made a shipment of 2,00-3
of the toads to San Francisco, from which
place they will be sent to China. The toads
are there converted into various kinds of
medicines, which sell very high. For the cure
of chills and fever they are said to be the
finest things known. A toad is placed In a
flask of whisky for several weeks, and then
the stuff is sold as a tonic.
Joseph B. Carr, Secretary of State of New
York, said the other day: “I heard while is
Washington recently that President Arthur
will retire into private life a poorer man
than when he assumed office. The salary of
$50,000 yearly seems a large one. but i>eople
are not aware of the expense of living in the
White House as President. Gen. Arthur has
given over a dozen State dinners every year
during his term. Those dinners are very
costly. I was present at one and can testify
that no expenditure bad seemingly been
spared to make it a delightful entertainment.
That Is not all. There are other necessary
expenses connected with the position, so that
a President has really no chance of saving
*money.”
Gov. Cleveland yet receives all who visit
him at the executive chamber of the new
capitol, and apparently is of the opinion that,
like Lincoln, he can find time to talk with
all who may choose to come to the White
House. “The people have a right to see their
officers,” he said a few days ago. His friends,
however, are ot the opinion that stricter
rules in regard to admittance to his presence
will have to be made at Washington. One of
them told recently of what President Arthur
had said to Senator Arkcll a month or so ago:
“I think I am an unusually strong man, yet
after I have been receiving visitors for two
hours I am as limp and a* deficient of muscular
strength as that rag. They strip me of all my
nervous force.”
Miss Dora miller, daughter of Senator
Miller, of California, has a dog who always
gives a strong hint to her evening visitors,
especially gentlemen, when he thinks it is
bed-time. He seems to be perfectly well
aware when 10 o’clock comes, snd if her
friends linger after that hour the dog will de
liberately walk up, stand conspicuously In
front of them and yawn. The reason for it is
that the dog has aM in his mistress’ room,
and never settles, bethinks, foraquictnight’6
rest until she retires, so he is anxious to
hurry her friends away so as to be able to go
to bed himself. When she goes to a party the
dog always sits up until she returns, and
whatever the hour may be, is awaiting her at
the head of tke steps when she comes.

Golden weddings are events of rare oc
currence, but diamond weddings, as they are
called in Germany, which are celebrated
after sixty years of married life, excite a
national interest even in a country where an
Emperor at 87 is able to sit for three hours in
the saddle, and where a Minister in hie 70th
vear delights in keeping the whole diplomatic
world on tenter books from one end of the
year to the other. The German papers give
an account of the diamond wedding of Gen.
Stockmar (no relation of Baron Stockmar),
which recently took place at Dessau. Stock
mar is in his 91st year, and both he and his
wife are said to be in the enjoyment of perfect
health. He is one of the oldest friends of the
German Emperor. They met for the first time
as mere boys at the battle of Jena, in 1806.
At on** of their more recent meeting-, when
the General expressed a hO]ie that His Majesty
might bring his shares np to par, the Emperor
replied in his own humorous way: “Oh.
Stockmar, >ou are not a courtier; if you were
a true courtier you would have said, *Ob, your
Majesty, at least to 20 per cent, above par.’ ”

parted last night?” “Nothing, except half a
dozen raw.” “I thought so. Remember
hereafter that it’s the last raw that breaks
the camel’s back.”— Philadelphia Call.
He had just had his hair cut and returned
home. “Hum!” he says, after examining
himself in the glass critically, “I guess 1
shall have to go back to the barber's shop
again. Til's’ll never do?” “What’s the mat
ter?” says his wife: “has he cut your hair too
long'” “No; coniound him; he’s gone and
cut it too short. I’ll make him cut it over
again.”
’The mills of the gods—“And what is the
man whom you are to bless with your hand
and heart, my dear?” “Oh, Ills name is Ar
thur Mills.” “And how do you like him?”
“Oh, he’s just the loveliest of men—a heaven
sent prize. lie’s a trifle slow, though.” “Oh,
well, never mind that. You know the mills
of the gods grind slowly.”— Boston Times.
The dav of diaries draws near,
The eve'r-welcome glad new year!
The day when many eliaps who fear
The (lire effect of whisky
Will bid farewell to rum and beer.
And all seductive cups that cheer.
But make them feel too frisky.
— Exchange.
Dr. Blister is one of those physicians who
do not take any nonsense from their patients.
One day last week he presented his bill to
Mose Schaumburg. “One hundred and fifty
tollars!” exclaimed Mose. “Vv, mine Gott,
two funerals Hi dot family vould not haf cost
me so much as dot.” “It’s not too late to have
a funeral in the house yet,” replied l)r.
Blister, drawing an army-size revolver. The
physician heels himself whenever a patient
feels indisposed to settle.— Txas Siftings.
The Bore—Summer.—
As he passed along the street
When the heat,
Like a tlame,
Filled the atmosphere with hazes—
“ Hot as blazes!”
He’d exclaim.
The Bore—Winter.—
Ho accosts us when the breezes
Almost freeze us—
Arctic days—
And, with coolness that amazes,
“Cold as blazes!”
Now he says.

PERSONAL.
Lady Florence Dixie, whose eccentrici
ties have given her a wide notoriety, is out
with an appeal for fair play for foxes.
Gov. Cleveland once received a fee of
*7,000 for answering one question on a Doint of
law in a Syracuse court. It was tae year
prior to his election as Mayor of Buffalo.
Ex-Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice
I’residcut-elect, lias consented to deliver the
annual address before the Yale alumni and
graduating cla-ses at the commencement,
June 28, 1885,
SorniK Meuter, who divides with Clara
Schumann the honor of being tbe first female
pianist, lias received from the recently de
ceased Russian, M. Sieiglitz, a fortune of
nearly *5,000,000.
Miss Carrie Keating, daughter of Col. J.
M. Keatine, of the Memphis Appeal, was re
cently tendered an enthusiastic re< eption by
Memphis society. Miss Keating is an excel
lent pianist, a tormer pupil of Mills, Joseffy
and Theresa Carono.
Thomas R. Monahan, an American citizen,
lies in a Mexican jail charged with wrecking
a train through carelessness, but unable to
secure trial, as it lias not yet been found con
venient for the authorities there to hear the
case. The Sjate Department at. Washington,
although notified some time since, has done
nothing.
William Terkiss having publicly an
nounced that he is in no way connected with
the Miss Florence Terries, now performing at
the Court Theatre, Miss Florence cruelly re
torts that Terms, at least, is her own name,
while William’s true name is Lewin, and that
he has lately belonged to a company managed
by a man named Brodnp, who calls himself
Irving.
Sherman Day, a son of the late President
Jeremiah Day, of Yale College, died recently
in San Francisco. His mother was a daugh
ter of Roger Sherman,, one of the committee
who reported anil signed the Declaration of
Independence. Mr. Day surveyed the first
railroad between San Jose and Sacramento,
and made one of the first graded wagon roads
over the Sierras.
A sensation lias been made in Washington
society bv the announcement made upon the
authority or Mrs. Jerome Bonaparte that her
daughter, Miss Constance Edgar, will take
the veil about Easter time. Miss Edgar
graduated last June i.t the Georgetown
Academy of Visitation. She then announced
her intention of taking the veil. Her mother
desired that she would not decide the matter
before first going into society. She accom
panied her mother to Newport last summer,
and will probably goout to a moderate extent
this winter. A two years’ trip to Europe had
also been planned for her, but Miss Edgar is
so determined to take the veil that thfe trip
has been given up.
