It must be admitted that he puts it down pretty deep. Mr. Justioo Field has buried his Presi dential aspirations.

The Memphis Avalanche agrees with the Morning News that it would not be ad visable for the government to purchase and operate the telegraph lines. The Avalanche thinks it would lie well to let the telegraph lines and the railroads remain in private hands. Chicago has anew sensation. There has recently been discovered in that city a band of hurglars composed of nine small boys. They all go armed, and do not hesitate to attempt daring robberies. It would lie well for the respectable citizens of Chicago to •organize a vigilance committee. Tho Supreme Court of Kansas has de cided that wlieu a woman marries she need not take her husband’s name unless she chooses.

A gentleman who is much interested iu forestry suggests tho following plan for preventing tornadoes: Let the people who live in the tracks of them plant trees across the tracks at regular intervals. It may be that tho suggestion is a good one. It is held that the frequency of tornadoes is due to the destruction of tho forests, and, if this be true, the planting of trees In sections subject to tornadoes may prevent them. A friend of Allen Thorndike Rice, editor of the North American Review, says tliut “Arthur Richmond” is a combination of several pormne. According to this authority Rice himself wrote the attack ujhmi Minister Pheljis, and William Henry Ilurlbert wrote the attack upon President Cleveland. As to the other “Arthur Richmond” articles, one was written by Rice, another by .Senator luga’.ls, and still another--the fusuiilt upon James Russell Lowell—wua written by no Veas a person than Gen.

There is a great deni of: charitable work done in this and other Southern cities. There I are organizations to provide for destitute I orphans, and societies which lend r. helping | hand to the deserving poor and the unfortun ate-. Women who have wealth, and those who I have incomes barely sufficient to furnish tho necessaries of life alike respond promptly to the demands of charity. Their hearts are touched with pity by tales of poverty and suffering, and they make sacrifices to afford relief to those who claim their assistance. All of this is creditable and commendable, but are not some of these zealous workers in the charitable field in danger of forgetting that charity begins at home f We do not refer to the fact that there are homes that are com fortless and unattractive lor tho want of careful housekeeping, but to the neglect which the babies and the older children suf fer. How often are they intrusted to nurses who are in every way unlit to have charge of them? The colored mil-si's of the present day are not to he compared with those of a quarter of a century ago. The gentle-faced, kind-hearted and neat-appearing old col ored nurses, with their heads adorned with a bandanna handkerchief, have disap peared. Their places have been taken by colored girls who have very little liking for children, and who, ns a rule, do not know how to take care of them and are indiffer ent about promoting their comfort and wel fare. Their chief objects are their wages and their amusements. They neglect the babies when out of sight of their mistresses, and devote their time principally to gossip ing with each other, or receiving the atten tions of the negro men who hover about them. Cases of cruel treatment of children by their nurses are not infrequently reported, but it is very difficult to get the facts of them because the nurses protect each other. If witnesses of cruel acts attempt to inter fere in behalf of the children they are liable to be made the objects of abuse, particu larly if they are ladies. A few days ago a negro nurse, about twenty-five years of age, who had two children iu charge, was taken to task for cruel treatment of one of them, a little boy about two years old. The woman was pushing a baby carriage, in which was a baby, at a rapid rate, and the boy was clinging to it crying, being almost exhausted by his efforts to keep up with tho nurse. On being remonstrated w-ith for dragging the child along in that cruel manner she answered sulkily that all she cared for was the money she earned and that ail the chil dren’s parents cared for was the work they got out of her. It is impossible to say, of course, whether she slandered the children’s parents or not, but the chances are she told the truth, not only with regard' to herself but also with regard to the parents. If the mother of the children loved them as she ought to she wouldn’t have intrusted them to such a nurse. How many mothers are there whose chil dren are intrusted to these careless and unfit negro nurses, who know how their children spend their time, how they are treated or where they go? May they not hear words which should never reach their innocent ears? May they not be taken to the badly ventilated homes of the nurses, or of the nurses’ friouds, where disease lurks, or may they not be so cruelly treated as to make them bad-tempered and bad-mannered? ’ We have nothing to say against charitable works, but the mother who devotes the bet ter part of her time to hunting up objects for charity and leaves her children to the care of an ignorant, and sometimes vicious nurse, doesn't know what genuine objects of charity are. The claim which her babies have upon her charity is greater than that of any other charitable claim, and it ought to be satisfied first. Their comfort, training and happiness should lie her first considera tion. The Florida Senatorial Contest. The Senatorial contest in Florida is be yond the point where unproved charges are likely to have any influence upon it. It is doubtful if the charge that Gov. Ferry is using his patronage to elect himself Senator, or that ex-Gov. Bloxham did not protect the interests of the State as well as ho might have done in the sale of public lauds when he was Governor, will gain or lose either of them a vote. If either of them is elected it will be by hard and skillful work. The merits of each are pretty well known, and the record of each has been thoroughly canvassed. As they are about evenly matched, so far as their strength with the Legislature is con cerned, it looks as if the contest would be a long one unless the Democratic caucus concludes not to waste' any more time on them, and to unite upon someone of the other prominent Democrats. There are not wanting men outside of Messrs. Bloxham and Perry who are capable of representing the State in the Senate creditably and ac ceptably. There is no doubt, however, that the peo ple prefer either Perry or Bloxham, and it is probable that the latter is the greater favorite. He has made himself very popu lar, and if he have enemies they are politi cal and not personal. It is curtain that the State’s interests at Washington would not suffer by his election or that of Gov. Perry. The Legislature is overwhelmingly Demo cratic, and the Democrats, therefore, would commit a grave error by permitting a Sena tor to ho elected with the aid of the Republi can members. There is a re|>ort of a move ment to make a combination with the Re publicans and break the deadlock. The deadlock ought to lie broken and, that too, soon, hut it ought not to be broken by Re publican votes. Let the man who is elected Senator feel that he owes nothing to Re publicans. Let him feel that while he looks carefully after every interest of the Suit' ho is a Democrat and is free to advocute Demo cratic principles. A minor by way of Atlanta is to the effect that Col. Thomas C. Howard, of that city, lias been tendered the position of Got enior of Alaska. A long time ugo Col. Howard taught school in Kingston, Ga. Among his pupils was Adelina Patti.

A Doubtful Statement. The statement published in our dispatches ! yesterday, which was taken from a Wash j ington special to the Missouri Republican, one of the ablest Democratic papers ill the I country, that the I’resident is not a candi [ date for a second term, and will not accept ! a renomination if it is offered to him, is a very surprising one. The chances are, however, that there is some mistake about it. The President, it seems, announced his determination to a Senator, who immediately repeated it to the newspaper correspondents. But may not the Senator have misunderstood the Presi dent? They were talking about appoint ments, and the President is reported to have said that the charge which was con tinually appearing in the public prints thnt his course with respect to ap pointments was shaped by a desire to secure a renomination was without foundation. It is probable that tho President did say some thing of this sort, and lie may have said that he was not asking a second term, but it will require an authorized statement to convince the country that he has determined not to accept a renomination under any circum stances. Fair-minded men will agree that the President, in making appointments, has kept steadily in view the best interests of the country. He has made a few mistakes, because those whom he trusted deceived him, but the great majority of liis ap pointees are capable and worthy men, and are not expected to work for the President’s nomination. All that is expected of them is a faithful discharge of their duties. Assuming that the President doesn’t want a second term,.it is hardly probable that he would communicate the fact to the public in any such roundabout way as this dispatch to tho Missouri Republican. It seems, ac cording to this dispatch, that he doesn’t think the public will believe him wlier. ho says that he would not accept a renomina tiou, anil that, like a prisoner anxious to be free, he is looking forward with pleasure to the time when he will not be burdened with the cares of a great office. This sort of talk doesn’t sound reasonable. Blr. Cleveland wanted to be President, and he has given no sign that he is tired of ex ercising the power and performing the du ties which belong to that office. If he has made up his mind that he doesn’t want a second term, and is anxious for the coun try to know and believe it, he has only to instruct his private secretary, Col. Lamont, to make a statement to that effect to the correspondents, and he can rest assured that the country will believe it. The statements which tho country doesn’t believe are those which some correspondent says that some prominent man says he has received from the President. The President understands very well that he ought not to make any statements at this time respecting a renomination. His party made him President and if it thinks his re nomination is essential to its success he should be willing to be a candidate again whether he wonts to or not. There are very few men who would decline a renomination, and it is doubtful if Blr. Cleveland is one of them. He is just iu the prime of life and he believes that he has been a successful President. Ho has certainly had os much praise and as little censure as any of his predecessors He will be much better equipped for a second than he was for the first, and will, therefore, be less liable to make mistakes. He will continue to be re garded as the probable Democratic nomi nee unless he authorizes a statement to be made that he will not accept a renomina tion. Jewels for Senators' Wives. The impression that the American Senate is composed of millionaires appears to be entertained in France. The French crown jewels are on exhibition in the Louvre, Paris. They are to be sold at auction in the early part of next month, and they have been advertised in this country as well as in Europe. The statement has been made in Paris that, judging by the orders re ceived, the wives of American Senators will get the most valuable portion of them. There are some rich men in the United States Senate, but the number is not very great. Those who are comparatively poor, or only in comfortable circumstances, greatly outnumber those who are rich. Tho terms of several of the millionaire Senators terminated on Biarch 4 last, ani.there are not many millionaire Senators now. The wives of Senators are not noted for lavish expenditure or for the possession of diamonds. Most of the millionaire Senators and their wives are very plain people, and it is doubtful if they care for expensive luxuries of any sort. There are rich men and women in New York who are unknown outside of that city, and not very well known in it, who spend more money for diamonds and works of art mid other expensive things than Senators do. It is a fact, however, that the number of millionaires in the Senate is increasing, and, that too. without raising tho intellectual level of that body. Millionaire Marriages. , IVo hear a good many things about the good old days, but there were no marriages of millionaires then to gossip about. Such marriages are quite common nowadays—so common, in fact, that a girl who gets a hus band who has only SIOO,OOO or so fouls that she lias married a poor man. On last Friday night Blr. Andrew Carne gie, who has anywhere from $10,000,000 to $,’0,000,000 was married in Now York. lie is only r>;i and his bride is !!0, but that differ ence in ages amounts to nothing when tho millions that will be in tho family are taken into account. On next Tuesday in San Francisco tho daughter of Mr. Charles Crocker will nmrrv Mr, Charles 11. Alexander, of New Yor . Mr. Alexander is !!'! and the bride is 21 iz TJo lms brains mid she has beauty mid rash. Mr. Crocker has tilxiut $00,000,000, and his wed ding gift to his daughter will lie n handsome residence in New York mid a check for $1,000,000. That ought to satisfy the 1 ride groom. Such wedding gilts show how rich the country is getting to be.

Lord Salisbury considers the fisheries troubles a question of bard cash. He attributes Ameri can resentment of repeated violations of treaty law and countless outrages on the Dominion seaboard to the hard bargain which Canada drove at Halifax. It is something more than a question of money. The national honor has been compromised by the wanton conduct of Canadian officials. Republicans and Sovereigns. From the New York Herald (Ind.) Queens can always go quietly and safely into foreign republics, whatever may be said of their sojourn in foreign monarchies.

How He Lost at Seven-Up but Won at the Polls. Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer. While riding about Springfield, 0., in com pany with Mr. Hill, who was Mayor of that city twenty-five years ago, and Mr. George Spence, the former told a characteristic story of Sam Cox connected with the celebrated campaign in which the ex-Minister to Turkey beat Sam Shellabarger iu a district which the Republican Legislature made tor the express purpose of keeping Sunset out of Congress. Hill was showing Cox over the county, and the latter was to speak some place out in Ger man township. On the way out they passed a very prominent and influential German Repub lican who was plowing alongside the rood. They waited for him to come around the “land,” anil Hill said to Cox: “I will introduce you to him.” ‘.Don’t do that,” said Cox. “Wo will have a chat with him, but don't introduce me.” Presently the farmer came round and halted hie team rather reluctantly. “I haven't time to talk with you,” said he, “this plowing must be done.” ‘‘That is all right,'’ said Hill, jumping out of the buggy. “My friend here would like to talk with you, and os I was raised on a farm I will plow while you talk.” With that Hill "geed-up” the team and left Cox arid the farmer talking. •'When I got around tin* twenty acre field.” said Hill, “I found Ham anil the farmer down in a lenee corner playing seven-up. with a half emptied bottle of whisky between them.” Hill plowed several rounds aiul the game kept up. The German won every time and was in high glee, and pronounced Ham one of the best fellows in the world, only he didn’t know how to play seven-up. i iuuliy Cox inquired: “Are you going over to the meeting to-night to hear this man Cox make a speech?’ “No; 1 won t go near him.” “Why?” “Because he’s a butternut secesh and a rascal and 1 don’t want to hear him. I’d sooner play seven-ttp and drink with a gentleman like you than listen to any rascally butternut make a speech.” “You are a man after my own heart,” ex claimed Sam, grasping his hand. "That suits me, but come over anyhow and we will have some fun with the rascals, and then we will play a few more games of seven-up for tho drinks.” The proposition suited the farmer and he agreed to go. He was on hand early, seeking eagerly in the outskirts of the crowd for his friend of the fence corner, but didn't see him until he came onto the stand and was introduced as the Hon. S. S. Cox. . The old fellow' was really paralysed, but list ened to the speech throughout, and then made his way on to the stand “I w ant to apologize to you.” “What for?’” inquired Sam. “For abusing you: and I want to say ” “Don’t mention it.” “Weil, I want to say, Mr. Cox. that I am go ing to vote for you and my three boys will do the same.” “Shall we go and have another game of seven up;’.’ “No, but you come to my house some time and stay a week, and I’ll play with you every day.” Thai old German neglected his plowing, or turned it over to his Boys, and went over Clark county whooping it up for Sam, and was instru mental in securing over 100 of the 2,500 majority by which he was elected in a district that was Republican by 4,500. STAGE JOKES. Some That Were Played by Louis James. Prom the Chicago News. There is probably no more inveterate “(tag ger’ on the stage than Louis James. Since he began to star he, of course, has been obliged to repress his buoyancy of spirits, but it is with great difficulty that he denies himself the pleas ure of interpolating some remark of his own. This habit of his kept Lawrence Barrett in a state of nervous suspense for years, and for that reason, if for no other, the latter was glad to rid himself of the other. There was another reasou, however, and that was jealousy. It was an open secret that Barrett was jealous of his handsome leading man for a long time, and on one or two occasions gave public exhibitions of his feelings. Once when James was called for by the audience in “Francesca da Rimini” Mr. Barrett refused to let him go on and appeared himself. He was somewhat astonished to be saluted with disapprobation and calls tor James. He retired, but still refused to allow the leading man to go on until the uproar became so great that he was obliged to submit, although he did so with very poor grace. But as to James’ propensities for “gagging” he sorely disconcerted his wife not long ago. They were playing “Romeo and Juliet,” and James was playing a part which he heartily detests— " Romeo. When “Juliet” tells ”Romeo“ that she has forgotten why she has called him back James deliberately sat down upon the stage and said in the most careless, nineteenth cen tury tone he could assume: "Oh, very well, I'll wait here till you remember:” Last summer while Gus Mortimer and James were at the for mer's cottage near Narragansett it was de cided to give a benefit to an Elk lodge near by, and ’’Much Ado” was put on. James had never seen Mortimer act, for tho manager has not appeared in public for many years, and he asked Gus to play the Friar. Gus consented and went to no little trouble to pre pare himself for the part. The play began and the church scene came. When James saw Gus with his cloak and cowl he said in a whisper that could be heard by every one in the theatre: “Get on to St. Jacob's oil.” The rear that fol lowed this sally threw Mortimer off his guard and he could not rememliera word of his part. ’’Take him off. lady. Take him away.’stid James to the leading lady, and the actress led him off helpless and mortified. “Well Mr. Mor timer,” said Miss Wainwright after the iier formance, “I had always heard that you were a bad actor, but I never knew till 1 saw you to night what bad acting really was.” French Without a Master—A Testimo nial. Mrs. George Archibald in Judge. Dear sir. I take iny pen in hand to tell you mv delight; Your “French without a Master’'came six weeks ago to-night: I've given it a thorough trial, according to re quest, And do not hesitate to 3ay it far outshines tho best, No longer must 1 stare as I stared in former days When cultured people spiced their talk with beautiful Francois; I can't express how proud I’ll be, no matter if I try, If anyone say “ Parlez-vous>" to answer back "Ou-i." 1 like all Freucby things; I think there’s nothing else that quite Bo fits one for a place among society’s elite.

London had, on March 19, exclusive of luna tics in asylums, patients in small-pox and fever hospitals, and vagrants, 103,714 paupers officially reported in her care. A sort of Free Masonry, it is said, exists among the Chinese that finds expression on goods sent to their laundry. Certain signs mean “bad pay,” "no good,” “heap slippery,” etc. Montana claims to have the four greatest mines in the world—the Anaconda, Bluebird, Granite Mountain and Drum Lummou. Their combined product for the present year will ap proximate §9,000,000. A bill has been introduced in the Illinois Leg islature limiting the amount any person or cor poration may take by descent or will. The limit is fixed at $500,000 in money or 1,500 acres of land each to a surviving wife, child or cor poration. Any surplus goes to the State. A Hungarian BAND that was to play before the Czar at St. Petersburg had a novel experi ence. Each horn was taken to pieces and searched for bombs, and even the catgut of the fiddles was minutely examined Indore the play ers were allowed to appear before the Emperor. The faint tinkling of a bell that hung as a charm on the watch chain of a lawyer attracted the attention of a judge the other day. and the latter, believing the sounds were meant in de rision of opposing counsel, who was at that time summing up, threatened to commit him of the tinkling hell for contempt. A laroe number of images of angels and saints having been introduced into the Cathedral of St. Giles at Edinburgh, Scotland, a petition, signed by 500 residents of the parish, was re cently presented to the Edinburgh Presbytery, asking that the courts should take steps to have these images removed, "as enjoined by the Bi ble and laws of the national church.” M. Camille Flammerion, a well-known Parisi an scientist, suggests that a hole, several thou sands of yards deep, should be excavated in the earth in oilier to furnish accurate knowledge as to the composition of the interior of the globe. Let the European governments, he proposes, lend all their troops to carry out this colossal work, and by so doing two grand ends would be gained, the mystery under our feet would be revealed, while soldiers would forget how to fight.” The Police Department of New York is not prejudiced evidently in the matter of selections for “the Finest.” Thirty additions to the ranks were made recently on probation. Four of the number were machinists, four were clerks, ten were conductors or drivers of care or trucks, three were teamsters, two were blacksmiths, two were agents, one a printer, one a butcher, one a rigger, one a watchman, one a newsman, one a gateman, one a bookkeeper, one an under taker, one a fireman, one a milkman, one a cutter and one a stair builder. It is now a certainty that one of the striking features of the next Minneapolis Exposition will be a collection of paintings by the repre-. sentative artists, living and dead, of the Scan dinavian countries. The proposition originated with Mr. Olaf Ellison. It met the approbation of the leading Scandinavian oitizeus of Minne apolis, was advocated by the press of the city, and was heartily indorsed by the Scandinavian papers of the entire Northwest. Hon. R. B. Anderson, United States Minister to Denmark, gave his cordial approval and promises of as sistaneo. The exposition directors were favora bly impressed with the idea, and at length de termined to accept it. An English paper of recent date contains this: The following is transcribed from a page of a small pocket-book found last Saturday morning in a pint bottle cut from the stomach of a ling lauded from the trawler Sybil, of Lowestoft, of Aberdeen- “The schooner Anna, of Bangor, in a sinking state. My men as,given up all iiujV-s. abandoned. Writing this, dear wife, if this should reach shore, know what 'as become of your darling Willie. God bless you.” On the reverse side of the paper is 'the following. “January 24th. 188 b.— Dreadful storm, both masts gone. Ship waterlogged. Good-by dea r wife, forever. From your luring husliand. Will. Jenson.” The notes are written in pencil. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of lowa, is announced to be in failing health, the result of overwork. For more than a dozen vacationless years she has been one of the most conspicuous and suc cessful leaders in the temperance cause, and her eloquent voice has been heard and her or fanizing hand felt in almost every State and erriti >ry. She has aiso been the legal counsel of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union of the Nation. These labors she has taken upon herself for love of the cause, in addition to her extended law practice and her home and family duties. Asa consequence her splendid health has been impaired, and her doctors now order her to go abroad for the summer and refrain entirely from work of all kinds. Without making any public api-eal a purse has been made up by her temperance friends to defray the expenses of her trip, and she will sail for England next month. of John G. Saxe are now in order. Here is one that has never appeared in print until now, Soon after he went to reside in Al bany an enterprising real estate dealer of that city undertook to sell him a house. Saxe agreed to go and look at the property, and one morn ing found the two standing on the sidewalk in front of it. “There,” said the agent to the poet wit, as they paused a moment before entering, "is a house, Mr. Saxe, that 1 think will please you. You will And the rooms conveniently ar ranged, the plumbing is first-class, there is a capital furnace in the cellar,” etc. While the agent was talking Saxe was noticing that there were some pretty bad cracks here r.nd there in the brickwork forming the front of the house. The agent's eulogy ended, Saxe pointed his finger significantly at these cracks and then slowly remarked: "Convenient rooms, good plumbing, capital furnace-is that what the building is cracked up as having?” No sale. Avery funny thing happened the other day in Now York in connection with an experiment that was being made with a patent stove for the heating of railway cars. The exhibitor of the stove thought his assistant had made every preparation to make the exhibition a grand success. There was every reason why tne ex periment should be made a success, whether the invention was worthy of ii or not, because the exhibition was before the Assembly Committee on Railroads, and quite a number of spectators had gathered to be witnesses of what was done The invention was exhibited, ami if was shown how a pan of water m the bottom of the stove would be sure to tip over whenever an accident occurred and extin guish the Are. The theory was uil right. The exhibitor of the stove lighted the fire and al lowed it to blaze forsome time. Then he kicked it over with a great flourish. Instead of going out the fire blazed up more brightly than ever. The exhibitor, seeing that his reputation was in peril, gave the stove a vigorous kick sending it over again; mid thus, by making the stove meet with two accidents instead of one, lie managed to succeed in putting the fir ■ out. It is needless to say that the committee uid not make any re port upon the merits of that particular stove. A siNon.Au discovery has been made in the establishment of a Dublin auctioneer. An old secretaire, or fdeux'd desk, with a large nmr.l>er of drawers was forwarded by Mr. John Rigby to Messrs. laiwlors for renovation, and one of the workmen came across a cunningly con trived secret drawer in which treasure trove was found, and of th" existence of which the owner was quite unaware. This consisted of, union". iher thi it quantity of old silver coin . of a remote 1•• -rind, with a couple of geld tokens on which some curious emblems nnu in scription* are traced.
