TIIK III'M IN KPOXHK. Sponge is the common name applied to the technical order sponghla. Sponges have been fra long time regarded us plants, but the more able and later naturalists now agree that they belong to the animal class, yet one naturalist places that near the coral family. It is claimed that the covering round the cilia or fine hairy like frame work is the sponge animal, end the jelly or sarcode, or sponge flesh which fills the living sponge, is made up of an enormous number of | Tills ol«l year is going out amid a Ft»*i mictoscopic animals or so called animalcules, j of labor troubles, bet us hope that when A Hamilton county, Florida, mnn o’d ] bis vote fora dozen eggs, and the press of ; the sta^e are rotten egging him fordoing i it.

Under the genus sponge there is one species which the Scientific Journal hits failed to mention. We refer to the spon ges hninanus, or human sponge. The last sentence of the paragraph ipioted industry rounds the cape of issit it may glide into a pacific ocean. Tub war cloud in Europe is gradually assuming a darker hue, prophetic of an early conflict. But war clouds arc very unreliable, and il is a long time between lights in Europe. Tin: eleven able and innocent editors of the Atlanta Constitution held a consultation, iv d lectures that “wilier is continually alt-, after viewing the matter in every concievable sorbed by the small pores of the spongt supplying food and air." This is where the human sponge parts company with the rest of the genus. Ilis appetite for liquor will beat a circus tent in keeping tlie water oil' him. He might like water try it, but he is f mind.

Skckbtabv Mannish lias put a quietus on the rumor that he is to retire from the cabinet and that Senator McTherson, of New Jersey, is to succeed him. Mr. Man ning declares that it is his ambition to serve as the head of the treasury depart ment during Mr. Cleveland’s entire presi dential term, and that nothing hut physi cal prostration will prevent him from so doing. John Tyi.br, who recently committed suicide near Boston, had his life insured for over $;i0(J,000, lie had borrowed money and had promised to pay it back by defrauding the insura”ce companies. For primeval ideas of enterprise and honesty New England is still ahead. Wooden nutmegs are out of fashion. They were a very good fraud but there is a “mack oftlie retail business about them that ren 'ers them no longer acceptable with Hie average New Englander. In a published interview Dr. Shoe maker, of Philadelphia, declares that “it is nothing unusual in the south for the skin of negroes to turn white,” and that it excites no comment there. Any one who has ever lived south will readily discover the error of t his statement, and that Dr. Shoemaker doesn’t understand what lie is talking about. Ne sutor ultra erepidam, which, being interpreted, means that Dr. Shoemaker should stick to his pills. I" rwo sinus to it. A Texas paper indulges in Ibis blunt and homely paragraph : On any pleasant day there are probably 30,000 Texans holding down dry goods boxes, whittling and figuring on the railroads that they hope may come to their towns. Vfter they get them there will be 29,850 “ damning the monopolists.” As tlie* Haying got*s, ’‘this brings on more talk.” A railroad is a useful thing to develop the resources of a country. We might go st ill furl tier and say that j presidential they are a necessity, and the resources of rather, his no country or section can he fully devel oped without them. It is not at all sur prising that people should he anxious lor them to he built, and also to “ hope they may come to their towns.” lint there are two sides to every Question and nobody, perhaps, has a higher appreciation of this than the railroads, or rather the company that operates the roads. It is not (infrequently the case that under the law of compensation, cart* is taken that the country shall not get more out of the road than the road gets out of the coun try. When a railroad apparently intends to come just as near as possible to own ing all the towns its road builds up, then » the time the monopolist gets its comfort than an emigrant caravan can on a prairie, and with apparently less fear of a red-skin visitation. Ilewears-a nose whose painting cost hi uncos more money than other work of art of similar size in the world, and his ambition is to deepen the color, day by day. And before his ability as an ab- sorber the ordinary sponge turns green with envy and then disappears. The human sponge is indigenous to every soil. There was never a neighbor hood nor a town nor a city in which he did not find a local habitation and make himself a name. Ilis mission in life is to make two blades of grass grow where one whole acre of wheat grew before, and he is generally successful. He is clothed hv his friends, fed by his acquaintances, and kept full of grog by the victims he waylays at the fountain to which they go to quench their thirst. lie is buried with money which lie did not earn; and if he gains admittance at either place after death, it is because hois a hu man being, and went there by moral gravitation instead of either merit or tie- merit. Men fish for and catch every other sponge except the human sponge. lie catches them. lie is the essence of the dead-beat prin ciple; and is without character, shame or remorse. Like the beast in the Apoco- lypu, he has eyes behind and before. The world is his pasture, and green peo ple are the grass upon which lie browses. light, came to the following conclusion: The rep rt that the czar has been drunk natur ally leads one to suspect that the great Russian lives in a prohibition town. The »ur Over Again. The war is over again and peace reigns throughout the country. Grady did it, ami the Philadelphia Times tells it. Mere is what the Times says: Mr. Grady’s assertions, taken in connection nf dourl- I with the statements of noithern men like ‘ Charles Dudley Warner and .Judge Kelley that the south of to-day is in fact a new south, should he accepted as final, and the bitter partisan prejudices which are kept alive only for partisan advantage* should be buried out of sight and for ever. The south to-day is ns loyal to the union us the north, and just’ as glad that slavery is abolished and cannot he restored. If the prejudice of war can die out of the hearts of t he conquered cortuilily it should dio out of the hearts of the conquerors, as it undoubtedly has out of the hearts of the men in blue who did ul Ugh ting against those in gra cr aides will be at- j future, and that tlie i ill vie with Mr. Grady ' agamai be hoped that southern tended by northern men ii leading men of the north i icquaint- I and other progressive men who have made the 1 south a new south in wiping out the last ves-| tigesof old-tim< prejudice and antagonism. Mr. Grady bus shown that men can be loyal to the j memo 1 ies of the nasi while alive to the demands j and opportunities of the present, and his com-i mcndablc example should be followed by all men, north as well as south, who desire the welfare of the whole country. A superstition that takes so much to prop it j up is not worth keeping up. General Logan was | the thirteenth man w! o has died out of the forty-ninth congress. Twelve had departed, how ever, before the tally had got to the unlucky num ber. In the brief span before the congress itself dies, it is hoped that the thirteenth will be the lust.

Minister Manning, our present repre sentative in Mexico, has succeeded in proving that while the vile stories of it is alleged debaucheries were being eircu- lated, lie was dangerously ill,and further that he lias never been under tlie influ ence of liquor since lie has been in Mex ico. The associated press should ar range some way in which to procure cor rect news from tlie City of Mexico. Every American who visits that place in an official capacity since the Cut ting affair, has been systematically slandered. The American colony in the City of Mexico is said to be, for the most part, a most unscrupulous congregation of lotus-eaters. It is composed of people who went down there as professional lobbyists while the great international Mexican railway bill was being engi neered through the Mexican congress, and who have remained to prosper in the capacity of tools to be used against their country and countrymen. It is easily understood, in view of this fact, why the reports about General Sedgewick and Minister Manning were so quickly confirmed by “prominent members” of the so-called American colony. A Mexican who will lie for Mexico can be endured; but an American who will assist and corroborate him is a creature whose turpitude connot be ex- preeeed, Administrator's Sale. I'. II linouto* A Co..
