It in no groat Hliaker, though. “Tim war cloud in Europe is ‘nohigger than a mail's hand,’” nays an exchange. No! but it is being used to spank Prince Alexander. Mayor GiiAtu, of New York, may ho a good man and mayor, but he couldn’t earn his Balt as a newspaper reporter. He knew ull about the Squire letter months ago, but didn’t think it would interest the public. _________ Charles Monckby, inventor of the Monekey wrench (ignorantly called Monkey wrench), is living in poverty in Brooklyn, lie sold the patent for $2000, and now millions are made annually out of hta invention. Mr. Monekey ought to have taken his wrench and sermved his own fortune up to the point where it would stick. A orrbn hug in Nortli Carolina is eat ing up all vegetation and crops. The farmers have been swearing at the “durn green creters” vociferously. But a tar- heel scientist has discovered that the hug is no common, vulgar insect. It is a Thrydopteryx Ephemeformis. What a consolation tins must he to a poor man who lias lost his crop, and whose chil dren are hungry. Govbhnor Leu, of Virginia, recently received • tetter from a northern lecturing bureau offer ing him $10,000 to lecture for ten weeks in the north on the subject of the civil war. The offer was promptly declined.- Pensacola Advance Gazette. Governor Lee never lectures on the civil war, hut about twenty-three or twenty-four years ago lie was illustrating it. But this lecture bureau would have given him $10,000 to stay away about that time. These two facts prove that as a country we are progressing. The hank cashier is still in the lead. In an Ilinois hank last week the direc tors discovered that a $10,000 deposit was missing. They consulted. Then headed by the president, they came down on the cashier at his desk. "Mr. Blank,’’ -aid the president,'“where is that $10,000 deposit of yesterday?’’ “1 have it oil my hooks.” “Yes, hilt the money is what w,i want," “Well, er, that is to say, 1 have it ill my coat pocket in the back room." “There, gentlemen, ex claimed the president to the directors, “I told you Blank would produce the mmey. 1 knew lie was an honest man.” Cashier Blank went into the next room, got his coat and made for the depot. The directors are still convinced that lie is a “non est" mail. KATE IS KllillT. Kate Field has been writing up the war and the troublous times preceding it. (She says that “the war produced no greater hero or soldier than John Brown.” John Brown was an enthusiastic soldier —is yet, from accounts of him in one or two songs. Now any ordinary scrub sol dier who is merely in the business be cause lie lias to be, will stop marching when he is dead, lie knows when he has enough. But John Brown is still “marching on,” unless a doggerel poet lias prevaricated. Any soldier who keeps “marching on” twenty-six years after lie is dead and twenty-one years after the war is over, is a hero. We suppose Kate founds her conclusion on this fact. There is no other ground for it. Yes, Katie, dear, you are just as correct as you can be. SO lull BOON Alton IT. They have a summary way of dealing with erring journalists in the untamed west. Any little personal reference in a paper, not exactly a compliment, often results in a funeral. Sometimes the editor plays the star part at the funeral, and sometimes the other man does. But sometimes the fur flies, and the funeral is postponed in definitely. For an instance of this kind we subjoin the following, clipped from tlie editorial columns of *a Dakota ex change: “By an unfortunate typographical error we were made to say last week that our distin guished townsuiau, Prof. Kennedy, was about to rig up a nobby babboon for the comfort and en joyment of his daughter on her wedding trip over the prairies. What we meant to say was a nobby balloon. We write this with our left hand, while lying on our spare bed, with one eye entirely closed, and the other hand-painted, and an in verted chair across our stomach for a writing table. The extent of our regret for the blunder may be measured by the difficulties we have sar- giouatcd in penning this explanation.” TO BKJKIVK lmniturr. , The Clitnoae way of removing dandruff with mi utpliJM-r is by fiir the most effective.--Chicago ' Health journal. We don't like In diliter with a medical mitli'o'iiy, liui tin* Chinese sandpaper method nf i-ciin ting dandruff conics in 1 t-emii I. Col. Bid Back Gerimimo, a gen tleman who is now a gin -I, of our gov- ei utin m, lias a met hod <»i removing dan druff.rum the head- of hi- white ncigli- . i>or- in Arizona which, though some- | what abrupt, is said to he Hire mid swoe,.* ing. John Chinaman surpasses Col. i Gefoninio in creating a whiteness on \ linen. But for raising a crop of dandruff Col. Ceronimo w< ars the licit. lie lakes a pride in hi-* business. Hence las wcil- j known success, ilis desire for reaping j dundruff has frequently induced him to run United States soldiers down like I jack rabbits and catch them in order to rob them of their dandruff. Col. (Jeronimo is an American and we owe il to him as an American journalist to protect Ids well earned reputation as a dealer in dandruff; and we give it out cold that no Chinaman who wears long hair and wooden shoes, and eats his dinn r with two lead pencils for a knife and fork, shall he said to excel the colo nel in his loved employ. If the Chinese government should take exceptions to the statements made in this editorial and desire to get up a dandruff raising match between a Chinaman and our respected Col. Geronirno, we arc in for it. The Chinaman of course must use his medicine for curing dandruff, that is, sandpaper, and Col. Geronirno will use his—a thirteen Inch bowie knife. They are to perform on one another, of course. A circus tent coukl be erected over the scene of the performance, and ad mission fees enough collected to reward the Chinaman, at so much a pound, for any dandruff the colonel might collect from him. The Chinese government and the Chicago Health Journal seem to be playing partners on this sand paper patent. And we say to them both, they must either put up or shut up. Colonel Geronirno is now paying a long looked for visit to the president and other officials in 'Washington; but when that is over lie’ll be ready. Ills CONSISTENCY DON’T COXSIST. lion. James G. Blaine, of Maine, is one of the shrewdest politicians in the politi cal arena of the United States. It would be foolish to deny him this character istic. But every one who lias under taken to follow him through his vapor- ings for the last few years fully under stand that he is a demagogue of dema gogues. This must lie the conclusion of every intelligent man who has watched the utterances of the Maine politician. Perhaps no intelligent man has ever been more inconsistent upon a given subject than Mr. Blaine is upon the negro question. Heretofore he has represented the southern negro as the most down trodden of human beings who lias every avenue of employment closed against him except the cotton, corn and cane fields, whose every chance of advance ment lias been destroyed by the jealousy and hatred of the white people with whom lie has lived all his life. Now a change has come over the spirit of Mr. Blaine’s dreams. He recognizes the growth and power of organized labor in the north and west an™ he uses the negro in making a bid for its patronage, lie endeavors to arouse their feifl's by telling them that lower wages will be caused by the black labor of the soutli coming into eorapetiton with their own. Probably there was never more ar rogant demagogy exhibited. Mr. Blaine now puts the negro forward as a skilled workman, who is crowding to the wall not only the mechanics of his own section, but of the north as well. THE OU4UX (HUM,Ell. A correspondent writes to us from Salem, Ala., that to decide a bet he wants to know if there are any native Ameri can organ grinders going around with monkeys. He leaves it to us, and so does the man with whom he bet. There are no Americans in the business. An American can’t take a monkey and monkey with him until he makes the monkey think that he is his father. And then no American has ever had gall enough to go into partnership with a monkey and swindle the monkey out of his profits because the latter can’t keep books. No, organ grinders are foreigners, and they are tlie most patriotic people in the world. They love their native soil—that is, judging from the amount of it they bring over here on their persons. If we were a judge, and one was convicted of a felony in our court, instead of sending him to the penitentiary we would sentence him to be washed. It would be a greater punishment. And if ho survived it, it would be useless for him to return to his people. His tnvn mother would not know her soil, after he had been thus disfigured for life. Going around with an organ grinder must be a great cross to a monkey. And it is no wonder they have to chain a monkey to make him go. No, again; Americans are never organ grinders. Any decent American would take a toothpick and harpoon ants for a living before he would go into such a business. Col. Towers, principal keeper of the peniten tiary, is in receipt of a circular letter from Charles E.'.Felton, superintendent of the house of correction, of Chicago, asking information of the convict system of this state and such matter* of interest bearing upon system as be will com- sonicate. The information sought is designed to be used nt the coin-rcs. of the National Prison ' Association, which is to meet in Atlanta in No- | romber. Rutherford n. Hayes Is president o the j association. The Aliiwaiikce Journal «.<ys: it lathe puutiJiar notion of Mr. Blaine that while the negroes were slaves dinner to t heir maximum capacity for work and maintained at the minimum cost they were no competitors ofthe labor of the north, hut that, I its free men of Increasing intelligence, ami with j greater cost of living, they become a menace to tlie laborer. In Chicago the tabor movement is expected to j exert a'^iowerftd influence on tlio coming elec-j tions. Both parties ate working to capture the labor element and some- politicians predict tlie! disruption of every workingmen’s organization - that goes into politics. When the prohibitionists and free traders all i have eiindidates in every congressional district, politics will be more sp;.skied than ever. The j protectiontsts may take thefi.-'d also and leave 1 the old parties to browse on whatever new | growth springs up. CLEVELAND’S PEOPLE AND KN'TS. August Belmont was lined $10 in Newport the , other day for having an unlicensed dog. As many as a thousand cjuakiiigs of the earth have been felt in one day in New Zealand. A brother of Lydia Pinkliam is the prohibition j candidate for Lieutenant governor in Minnesota, j There is deep sympathy all over the land foi st rickcn Charleston, which is being shown in re lief funds raised in every quarter. Governor Ireland, of Texas, is said to be a fre quent contributor to the editoral columns of the Bun Antonio Times. Dion Qoucicault soys he has mnde his last visit to England. He does not like that country and lie does like America. Mr. I. V. Dexter, of Denver, claims to have “the identical pair of dueling pistols with which Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton." Tlie Albany Argus remarks: “The Chicago woman who jumps fYoni the Brooklyn bridge will light on her feet.” Of course she will. It is a way Chicago people have. BIRMINGHAM BOOMING STILL. Capitalists liny tlie Higgesl Coal Mine on Earth Near There mill Propose to Develop It. Birmingham, Septembers.—One million dollars of stock of the Pratt Coal and Iron company has been sold to John H. Inman and others of New York, and to Nathaniel Baxter and A. M. Shook. The company has the largest bituminous coal mines in the world. Nineteen-twentieths of the stock is owned, besides the persons named, by Enoch Ensley, T. T. Hillman, John H. Inman, Nathaniel Baxter and A. M. Shook, of Tennessee. The company to-day determined to expend one million dollars in the erection of four furnaces and basic Bessimer steel works at the town of New Pittsburg, six miles from Birmingham. Three more coal mines are also to be opened. This assures to the Birmingham district, within a radius of ten miles, twenty large hot blast coke furnaces seven of which are now in blast, one repairing and twelve in process of erection. Besides these, the Pratt Company will also make steel experiments, with two million dollars capital, at their new town of Bessimer City, ten miles south of Birmingham. Killed With a Spoke. Norfolk, Va., September 8.—To-day Joe Banks, colored, entered the grocery store of B. R. Ward and behaved in such a disgraceful manner that Ward ordered him out. He refused to go and a difficulty ensued, in which Ward killed Banks with a cart wheel spoke. Ward is in jail. C O A LI Anthracite and Bituminous. Large and well selected stock, for all purposes.
