Tub price of frogs’ legs in French mar kets linve risen, that in to say jumped «P- There must 1)0 nothing but honest men in Fulton county, Ga. Anyhow they’re always offering a reward over there for a thief. Anybody would think New York never had a mayor from the fuss it is making over who shall be its next new toy. Mn. Carmichaei,, who is running for congress in this district, will never take his seat. And it is consequent!)' feared that he will become a standing candi date. Sir Charles Dilke says lie intends to devote the rest of his life to clearing up his reputation. It is too bad that he is not much younger, as he lias a gigantic task before him. That miserable serial story “Livingor Bead,” palmed off as Hugh Conway’s, has been running so long in the country papers that readers almost wish Hugh Conway were alive to put a stop to it. A iiaby has been born to a couple in St. Joseph, Mo., the fattier of whom iH 71 years of age and the mother 65. The lit tle youngster cried “chestnuts” when he first gazed on his lusty parents. The way the New York politicians praised each other at the rally meeting tho other night was nauseous to an ordi nary honest voter. Did they mean it? Yuh, they rally meant it. An ex-artist who Imd become a lawyer, was recently invited to make a speech at a Missouri agricultural fair. In the course of his remarks, lie said that “a cow without horns had an unfinished ap pearance.” This unseemly quarrel over Tilden’s will has convinced us of the folly of dying rich, and we shall govern our- selves accordingly. Persons having any little remittances due us, can send them just the same though, us we are not dying anyway yet. The telephone has proved a great blessing in many curious ways. In one Connecticut telephone office during tho last three years eighteen switch girls havo married subscribers on the line. Tho eighteen subscribers havo displayed a praiseworthy fondness for rining tele phone belles. It is declared that the hoodlum office holders in Now Orleans will take any thing. This statement might he modi fied a little. They have failed to take the hints the press has given then of a dies ime oy and by. But after all, they won’t need a hint as hud as a hiding place when the day of wrath comes. Mr. Blaine, who is demonstrating in Pennsylvania that lie can deliver eight speeches and travel three hundred miles in one day and still feel fresh, lmd a fall at Scranton, where a platform gave way under him. It was not a serious fall, hut Mr. Blaine should not forget the old adage about the pitcher that goes to the well once too often. The prolonged drouth which is being severely felt in many sections of the country can scan-civ fail to he followed by a heavy down-pour accompanied with destructive Hoods. An enormous quan tity of moisture has been evaporated and, according to the inexorable laws of nature, it must return to the earth from which it arose. It may he that the pre cipitation will he gradual in the form of the haze which gives so much beauty to tlie true "Indian Summer.” But, in any case, a spell of damp or rainy weather cannot be much longer delayed. TIIK ELECTIONS TO-lliY. To-day elections will he held for mem bers of the Fiftieth congress in thirty-live states, in which HL8 members of the lower house will ho chosen. Tho house of representatives is com posed of:i2o members, of which seven' havoalready been chosen, viz.: Four in . Maine, two in Vermont and one in I Oregon—all republicans. As the present I | representatives, from these states are re- ' | publicans, there will he no change in | their political representation. The i Forty-ninth congress is composed of 1 s-J ; j democrats and 141 republicans; hence, iu : I order to secure a majority of one, the j | latter party will have to make a net gain 1 : of twenty-two members, j Seven states, Rhode Island, Oregon, | | Alabama, Arkansas, Vermont, Maineaml : | Georgia, have already elected governors j this year, of whom four are democrats j j and three republicans. Seventeen states will choose governors to-day. Of these nine have republican governors, viz: Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Massa chusetts. Michigan,Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. The eight states having democratic governors arc California, Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Besides electing state officers, several states will vote on constitutional amendments. Some of our able young journalists are over-working the word “lurid,” we think. It is a tempting and taking word for the class of writers addicted to “weird” ex pressions. But it is not precisely descrip tive to speak of tlie rod glare of a confla gration ns a “lurid scene,” nor is it accu rate writing to say a red-haired young man has a “lurid top-knot,” as wo had the opportunity to read the other day. The first and principal meaning of the word “lurid,” ms set forth iu Webster, is “ghastly, pale.” It may mean “gloomy” also or “dismal,” hut never flaming, fiery nor any sort of red, though these able journalists seem to say so. CLETKRIIS, THE Ml'IlDKKKB. Thomas J. Cluverius, tlie betrayer and murderer of Miss Fannie Lillian Madison, has been resentenced to death and the date set is December 10. Every resource of the law and its interminable techni calities has been exhausted to save him. There is now nothing hut the governor’s clemency between him and the hang man’s rope. Governor Lee is not the man to interfere in a case of this kind. Cluverius will hang, and he ought to. Tlie friends of Cluverius have a way of tearfully declaring, “Poor fellow, the lesser crime brought on the greater; the betrayal of the girl, under the peculiar circumstances, inducing her murder.” The betrayal may have been the lesser crime, and the murder the greater in law. But are their attitudes not reversed in morals? Theologians have disputed for ages over the mysterious, “unpardonable sin” hinted at, hut not defined in tho Scriptures. May it not be the so-called “lesser crime,” alluded to by the lawyers in the Cluverius case? If tho human body is “a temple for the indwelling of tlie Holy Ghost,” to violate it may be the “unpardonable sin.” It may he as the members of tho Richmond, bar de clared that the betrayal of a young girl is a smaller crime, and the committing of murder a greater one in law ; hut the man who commits the former is not fit to shake hands witli the man who com mits the latter. Cluverius ought to hang for either one of the crimes alone. HATTON I1E A HI) FROM. Alcohol has a local action on the mucous mem brane,with which it is in contact jit causes a reflex action on other organs through tlie sensory nerves of tho skin and mucous membranes, and lnstly it has an action on the brain, spinal organs and other organs, to which it is conveyed to the blood.--Chicago Mail. This is a specimen editorial from l^'rank Hatton, ex-postmaster general, who now edits the (’hieago Mail. It is safe to say that after this labored effort Mr. Hatton went out and took a snifter to brace him on the one lmnd and drown his con- seienceon the other.whiiehe attacked the president’s method of distributing post offices. The distinguishing feature of Hatton’s career as postmaster general is the fact that he named eleven offices uf- ter h i nisei f. A Wasiiinoton special gives a very unfavorable account of Secretary Man ning's health, and it now appears that the predictions of those who argued that his public usefulness had passed away with the occurrence of the original attack were not far from tlie truth. Mr. Man ning still retains considerable mental power, hut it is quite clear that tlie par tial paralysis following his apoplectic, seizure lias left him in a condition entirely unfitted for any heavy or pro longed official effort. Hon. Dan Lockwood, who was sworn in last week as United States district attorney for the northern district of New York, shocked the president and his civil service adherers by coolly declaring “There is not going to he any civil service nonsense attached to my office.” Dan Lockwood is not only nervy hut right. Old Hickory has been dead for many a year, but the spoils are still the property of the victors. “Times change, and men often change with them, but principles never." • A society has been formed in London which has for its object tlie prevention of hydrophobia- It does not believe in shutting tlie stable door after the horse is stolen, and claims that dogs should he killed before instead of after biting peo ple. It seeks reform in the dog laws and will wage warfare against dogs of low degree. Mongrel curs, says this organi zation, should be summarily killed rather than pounded. There is a great deal of common sense in the claims of tlie society, but what will Henry Bcrgh say ? A DEADLY COMBAT. Ha Kish CommlKHioii'n I’t'l Llztril MiinvtcKa Two- Vinr-Olil Alligator. Wasiiinoton, October 31.—A rare com- bat took place this afternoon in a building occupied by the Hah cat lmission between two little pets of that institution whose likes have probably never found them selves in such elooe proximity since the ages of feathcrless birds, wiutred reptiles and web-footed quadrupeds. The aggres sor, and the victor os well, was the newly arrived Gila (pronounced Helaj lizard from the Gila river, in Arizona, tho only apecics of lizard whose bite is known to be poison ous, and the victim was a two-year-old al ligator from Florida. The lizard is 14 inches long, ami about twice the weight of his antagonist;. Bot i reptiles were in a semi-torpid condition, having ceased to take food a week or two ago, and for some purpose they had been removed from their glass cases atm placed beside each other upon the stone floor. An attendant inadvertent ly touched the alligator’s tali, and caused him to move sluggishly onward a few inches, where he came in contact with the blunt nose of the lizard. The snaky eyes I of the latter lighted up with a gleam" of ! sat.inio malevolence, its black: lips opened | wide, and its jaws closed with a snap upon ; the fore paw of the alligator. Tho pria- I oner developed unexpected activity, and, j though taken at a sad dis advantage, made for a time a galiant tight for its liberty and its life. Its movements wore marvelously | quick, and its jaws closed a dozen times in I succession upon the mailed head of the assailant. It soon, however, became ex hausted, and, moaning like a I suffering child, it relapsed into ] quietude. The attendants sought ! by a variety of means to release tlie wretched alligator, but were compelled, as may be supposed, to be very careful in handling the venomous lizard. He was seized by the tail and held up in the air, taken by the bloated neck and choked severely, plunged under water and mal treated in other ways, but to no purpose. Then sharp wires were thrust into his nose, and finally a large trowel was forced into his mouth, but such was the force of his grip that the steel blade, though con siderably bent in the effort, failed to re lease the improsoned paw. Then the pair were replaced in the glass ease which had been occupied by the lizard, and again the j alligator renewed its struggles, thrashing its enemy with its tail and snapping at it with its jaws. In its struggles it had dislocated its shoulder, and its imprisoned limb became limp and powerless. Its moanings were pitiful, and the attendants were moved to re newed and at last successful efforts to effect a separation. The trowel was reintroduced into the lizard’s mouth with no very gen tle thrusts, and probably effected a severe wound in some tender part. Bubbles of grayish sliine were exuded from mouth and nostrils arid finally the jaws slowly opened. Even then it was a work of sev eral minutes to disengage the hook fang3 from the wounded paw. The combatants were placed in their separate receptacles, the lizard hipping his thick black lips with his greenish forked tongue, while the alli gator closed its eyes, probably to die of the venom in its system. RECOMMENDED Without Reserve. « “The results of a complete analysis of several packages of CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKSNC POWDER, purchased bymyseh of grocers, confirm the fact that it is made of pure and healthful materials, well manufactured, and is in every particular reliable and most whole some.
