Tub American papers are fond of mentioning Mexican hull fights as the evidence of the semi-civilization of that country. One of the Sullivan-Ryan slugging matches tolerated over here would disgust an audience of Mexicans so heartily that they would mob the per formers. When the Mexicans want to see an exhibition of brutes they get four 1 egged ones. We can’t laugh at Mexico, as long as John L. is a hero. Wmi.B congress is quarreling over the patent law, and while representatives are contending that it is sacrilege to change it, let them remember Hint the Bell tele phone company, whenever it erects a telephone in an office, clears about 5000 per cent, on the investment. That may be according to patent law, but it isn’t according to justice. The perils that environ “the man who meddles with cold iron” are nothing to the ruinous risks that beset the unso phisticated confidence of the man who puts his money at the mercy of stock speculators; witness the ups and downs, the balloon flights towards the clouds in Reading ten days ago, and the heavy come downs in the same, which have cleaned out the pocket-books and check books of so many callow capitalists. A niVIDED HOUSE. The queen’s youngest daughter, Bea trice (married not long ago to one of the Batteuberg boys, of whom Prince Alex ander, lately of Bulgarians the bed type) is becoming a factor in British and Con tinental European polities. Victoria con centrates her motherly love on this daughter ; the daughter was until recent ly her closest and almost the sole very close, companion; Beatrice has a little will and opinion of her own ; being mar ried to a Battenherg, she is thereby the natural champion of that house and of her husband’s manly, gallant and dis tinguished soldier brother, a partisan ship in which she is demonstrating her influence with the queen. The cgble tells us that the queen in tliis matter is, opposing, and being op posed by, the Prince of Wales, who is married to a most accomplished Danish princess, and the duke of E linburgh,who is married to a Russian princess, sister of the czar. The two British princes are for Prince Ferdinand, of Saxe Coburg, of course, as the proper person for the vacant throne of BulgariiV; the queen and Princess Beatrice stand by Prince Alex ander. It will he interesting to observe on which side tliis house,divided against itself, will fall. “I’l.AN OK CAMPAIUN." The lord-lieutenant of Ireland having by formal proclamation declared “the plan of campaign” unlawful, and those en gaged in carrying it out criminals and conspirators, a sharp contest between the government and a section of the nation alists is evidently impending. The ar rest of persons engaged in intercepting, as trustees, the reduced rents which the tenants thought they ought to pay,'and which the landlords declined to receive, will probably be the next step. That the trustees can be convicted before any available jury of criminal conspiracy is thought to be rather improbable. Should the prosecutions fail, a caso will be made up according to lib eral-unionist and tory opinion upon which to ask parliament to authorize re course to some mode of trial other than trial by jury. Legislation of that kind would of course be firmly opposed by the eighty-six nationalist members and by a portion of Mr. Gladstone’s following. If recent utterances of some of the leading Gladstonian journals are trustworthy in dications of opinion, a section of the English home rulers hold the legality of “the plan of campaign” in doubt. Par liament will therefore, it is thought, after an exciting debate in the lower house, pass the government’s proposals for the enforcement of the laws in Ireland by a majority somewhat larger than the ag gregate strength of the unionists, a ri,v«.ium:» Indian. The noble red man of fiction is more peculiar and gloomy than grand. Feni- muro Cooper’s novels paint him as an in spired demigod, with whose nature the savage had been mixed only to render it romantic and earthy. New York city has recently furnished a novel sensation, in which a buck In dian is the actor, if not the hero. The Fenimore Cooper Indian is roman tic, redolent and grand; the real Indian is a lazy, lousy loafer, with no emotion beyond revenge, and no appetite beyond physical food. But to relate the New York incident. “In no small experience the writer has never yet seen a white woman willing to own an attachment for an uncivilized Indian, although many white men are married to squaws and are happily mated. An exception to the rule was reported recently, when a pretty young girl of Brooklyn fell in love with one of the Sioux savages attached to Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, now exhibiting in New York. They went to ft magis trate in Jersey City to bo married, but the official refused to perform the cere mony. The girl was well dressed and apparently educated and refined, arid her demeanor was modest and ladylike. Her name was Annette Copeland. She was 17 years old. The Indian was dressed in a claw-1 l.ammer coat and plug hat, with light colored trousers. He looked more like a tawny mulatto than a Sioux brave. I lis stage name in the show is Cloud Foot, whatever his real patronymic may be. “The judge questioned them, and from what they said it appears that the girl, who is very pretty, saw the Indian last summer at Staten Island when Buffalo Bill had his troupe there. She fell in love with him and he with her. AVliilc the show was there she went to the ground nearly every day. The season ended and lie left for the west, but as soon as lie arrived at Madison Square Garden, a lew weeks ago, their frequent meetings were resumed. They decided to elope. Several clergymen in New York were asked to marry them, but all refused on account of the girl’s age. Tired of refusals in this city, they went to Jersey City. Judge Weed refused to marry them. Cloud Foot offered him $50 if lie would perform the cere mony, but the judge would not change his mind. Cloud Foot and she then en tered the carriage, were driven to the ferry and crossed to the city. “If Mr. Cloud Foot is a genuine Indian ilia white shirt front and Bhiny beaver hat have destroyed all the romance that was in him. No proper son of the prairie can survive such treatment and be a hero still, and the wretched girl will find that her love has been wasted. The wooden dummy in front of a tobacconist’s shop is a better Indian than the fellow in lavender pants and a black dress coat. He must bo a fraud.” SKIN AND SCALP Cleansed, Purified and Beautifed by the Cuticura Remedies.

I There is no better place in America for a morn- | ing paper, as is demonstrated by the success of j the Constitution, but the person who wrote the ; news to the Telegraph could have easily found . out that he was dealing in fiction by simply ad dressing a note,to Mr. Pulitzer or to any proprie. tor of the Constitution. The Central Fight. The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday contain ed the folllowing ns a special from New York: A gentlemen who is high in position, and in the confidence of Gen. Alexander’s friends, said to-day*. “General Alexander is already elected presi dent of the Georgia Central system. All that is left to do is to cast the vote. He has over 34,500 votes that will go for him in a solid block, not counting a single vote he will pick up. The fight is absolutely whipped, and his frieuds have quit bu> ing stock.” I quote this gentleman’s words. General Alex ander is here, and is equally confident. He says his election is now assured beyond the shadow of a doubt. Tliis opinion is reiterated on all sides. There is a lively interest in the fighi in finan cial circles here, the drift being almost entirely for Alexander. If lie is elected there are some surprises in store for the people of the south.

My little son, aged eight years, has been af flicted with Eczema of the Scalp, and al times a great portion of the body, ever since he was two years old. It began in his ears, and extended to bis scalp, which became covered with scabs and sores, and from which a sticky fluid poured out, causing intense itching and distress, and leaving liis hair matted and lifeless. Underneath these scabs, the skin was raw, like a piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came out and was destroyed, until but a small patch was left at the back ot the head. My friends in Peabody know how my lit tle boy has suffered. At night he would scratch his head until his pillow was covered with blood. I used to tie his hands behind him, and in many ways tried to prevent his scratching; but it was no use, he would scratch. I took him to the hos pital and to the best physicians in Peabody with out success. About this time, some friends, who had been cured by the Cuticura Remedies, pre vailed upon me to try them I began to use them on the 15th of January last. In seven months every particle of the disease was removed. Not a spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell the story of liis suffering. His hair has returned, and is thick and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean as any child’s in the world. I cannot say enough to express my gratitude for this wonderful cur* by the Cuticura Remedies, and wish all similar ly afflicted to know that my statement is true and without exaggeration. CHARLES McKAY, Oct. 6,1885. Peabody, Mass. I have seen Mr. McKay’s boy when badly affected with the Eczema. He was a pitiful sight to look at. I know that he has tried our best physicians, and did all a father could do for a suffering child, but availed nothing. I know that the statements he has made you as re gards the curing of his boy by your CUTICURA REMEDIES are true in even particular. william j. McCarthy, 33 Foster 8t., Pc abody, Mass.
