Thu point ot jurisdiction then bocarao ret atyi ttem. v nr tlio talso verdict, not guilty for want of ju riadlction, was in (act as much a plea to the jurisdiction, as a true verdict would have boon. Practically, we suppose, it makes no great odds. Rvory msu in th United States knows Holkttap to ha guilty, and a verdict to that effect would have simply worked a formal political disgrace ami dis franchisement ; but wo have a natural dis like to sec common sense outraged In this lashlo'n, even by the Sonata of tbe United Utatev | Macon Telegraph. Gev. Hayes’ pledge against removals ft-ont office for pohtlca I reasons Is the very best bid he could make for the active sup. port ot the 00,000 officials now in office- They hare a right to understand it, and lie doubtless meant that they should under stand it, as a mere pledge to keep them all In office. This is falling from a rocket in to a stick.—[Milwaukee Nows. H tyos was four years in Go ogress, bet the organs have as yet not published a sin gle word that he uttered in behalf ol civil service rclsrui wdiile a member ol that body. Nr aro they likely to during the campalau, lor Hayes never said anything on the subject.—[Detroit Free Pros*. Rot long since D. W.

He came back, hung up his hat, and w*nt in search ol bis wile. For a long while they were elosc*ed together uutil time for tea.—When tea was ready Miss Nelile came down equipped for the lecture. A( fer they were fairly seated at the table, Mrs. Hall inquired,— My deat sir, will you have cotne tea ? In a Jlfly, madam. Nellie looked up, but her fathur took no notice. lteally this cake is quite stunning, resum ed the doctor, as solemn as a judge. Just then his napkin toll to the floor._’ Gracious I I'm con-dum-found xi, ejacu lated the doctor, getting it a little wrong. Nellie gttzod at her lather in perfect amazement. My dear, this sauce is staving. —Where Jid you buy it ? Oh. well, it is all the same iu German. Nellie dropped her knile and fork You must give me some mouoy tor the butcher to-morrow, said Mrs Hall. , You’ll have to spell ability tirst, growled the doctor savagely. Thee suddenly tak ing out ills hankcrcitier, he gave his nose a tremendoosJjlow.—There, said he, how’s that for high f 1 know how 'tis myself, meekly respond ed his wile. This capped the climax. The knowledge that bet father must have heard the after noon conversation was too much lor Nel lie. She burst into tears and left the room- The sage doctor nodded to bis wife, and when she bad go’, out of bearing exclaim ed,— There wife, I guess we shall hear no more slang phrases from her. So the the neat day the good doctor call ed his daughter into his study, and said to her,— My dear girl, don’t yen see how foolish these slang phrases are ?
