Some of the fashionable ladies in New York have organized a pug-dog club. It is supposed that the dudes will be hired as keepers of the little beasts. In Berlin great joy is felt because Gen. Boulanger is not a member of the new French Cabinet. The fact will add to his popularity among Frenchmen. Nashville, Tenn., will hereafter have but one morning daily.

Mr. Randall fails to re sent the insinuation. Ex-Secretary Manning, accompanied by his wife and daughter, is on his way home from England. He is said to bo improved in health, but his intimate friends fear that he cannot live much longer. In New York when a man has influence with the authorities it is said that he has a “pull.” Some men in New York who have influence with the authorities ought to have a “pull” at the end of a rope. Jn securing the services of Mr. Josiah Carter as managing editor the Atlanta Journal is fortunate. Mr. Carter is one of the best equipped newspaper men in the State, and is an indefatigable worker. Somebody in Indiana has coined the term, i “Suicidigenous area,” meaning a section of the country in which suicides are numerous. Whoever eoined the term doubtless com mitted suicide himself as an atonement. Rhode Island’s Democratic Governor has been inaugurated. The people of that aris tocracy ridden State wiU now have the - portunity of learning what “government) of the people by the people, for the people” means. J The New York Tribune didr't like the speeches Senator Sherman made at Birming ham and Nashville, and rather frowned upon him in consequence. Since he waved the bloody shirt in Illinois, however, the Tribune smiles upon him very sweetly. Buffalo Bill’s Wild West has completely captured London. The other day one of his showmen, Buck-Taylor, was thrown by a bucking pouy and the Londoners were so much distressed that an account of the mis hap was telegraphed to all parts of the world. The Tennessee newspapers are urging Col. A. S. Colyar, the capitalist and newspaper owner. as the i ian to be nominated by the Dermxrats next year for the Vice Presi dency. So far a map of the Colonel’s dis tinguished services iu the party's behalf lias not been published. Somebody suggests that Senator Sherman, Murat Halstead, and the Rev. Dr. John Rhey Thompson Ought to call a convention of the bloody shirt wavers. It is to be hoped that they will wait until next year. The monotonous talk about prospective Presi dential candidates is affliction enough for the present. __ A London cable dispatch to the New York JTera/dMMain - the thrilling announcement that “coat* and waistcoats will be worn \ rt-y oped TTI fttttrre, thus allowing a liberal dis play of linen.” No doubt it was intended to oonvoy the information that during the heated temi London dudes will parade in their shirt sleeves. Boston is threatened with a dire disaster. The journeymen bakers of the city number 1.000 and it is reported that unless the deal er* who furnish linked betas to their cus tomers on Sunday mornings pay the bakers for extra labor on Saturday nights a strike will take place. What would Boston do without linked beans/ A short time ago the New York Legisla ture passed a bill meant to cause the ex termination of the English sparrow. It is as follows: “The English or Eurojiean house sparrow is not included among tfye birds protected by this act, aud it shall be con sidered a misdemeanor to intentionally give food or or sfcolter to the same.” The bill is The Extra Session Question. It was stated a few days ago in tho dis patches that the President was opposed to an extra session of Congress. It is doubtful if ho has yet given the matter much serious thought. If he were to consult his inclina tion alone it is probable that there would be no extra session. It may be made to appear to him, however, that the test interests of the country require an extra session. In that event it would bo called, since the President is always ready to do xviiat is test for the country. Whether or not an extra session is neces sary is a question concerning which there is a very great difference of opinion. Several Congressmen have expressed their views in Washington lately with regard to it, and they are opposed to it. Congressman Singleton, of Mississippi, said that he did not think that anything would be accom plished by calling Congress together in October. The members wouldn’t settle down to work before December, and the two months before the opening of the regu lar session would be wasted. Congressman Norwood, who was also in terviewed at Washington, is reported to entertain the opinion that there will be no extra session. He believes the situation which confronts the Democratic party, however, to be a grave one, and that it will require wise .statesmanship to handle suc cessfully the questions which will come before the present Congress. The Demo cratic leaders understand that the accumu lation of the surplus in the Treasury pre sents a problem that must be solved at the earliest possible moment, and they recognize the difficulty of solving it. The Republicans don’t care to have it solved. They know that if the surplus is not disposed of in some way there is pretty certain to lie disastrous financial disturbances, and that such disturbances would injure the Democratic party and jeopardize its chances for success in isss. What is to be done? The Democratic party must harmonize. It must agree upon some plan for reducing the revenues. Mr. Norwood thinks there will be a caucus of the Democrats for this purpose as soon as Congress meets, but, of course, he cannot say that there is a fair prospect of an agreement being reached. There appears to be only one way in which there can be harmonious action, and that is for the mi nority to yield to the majority. Four-llfths of the party want the tariff reduced, and one-fifth wants the internal revenue taxes repealed. The minority, tiding strong be cause it is backed by the Republicans, pro poses to force the majority to come to its position. Will the minority, led* by Mr. Randall, still continue to fight against tariff reduction? If it does there will be little chance for an early solution of the surplus problem. Mr. Norwood says that the Democrats will make a mistake if they enter upon the work of the regular session without some plan of action. Of course they will, but that is what they are going to do unles Mr. Randall gives up his ambitious idea of try ing to make Democratic party stand on a Republican platform. The President’s St. liouis Visit. There is some trouble in St. Louis In con nection with the proposed visit of the Presi dent to that city. He was invited by the* Grand Army of tho Republic, which is to have a national encampment there in Oc tober, and by the citizens of the city. He made no reply to the Grand Army invita tion, but accepted that tendered by the citizens. A portion of the Grand Army wants to entertain him, and another, but much smaller portion, doesn’t want him to come at all. It seems that some of the Grand Army jieoplehopeto get a resolution adopted by the national encampment con demning the President's veto of the dependent pension bill, and they feel that their scheme will be greatly interfered with by the Presi dent’s presence. Ot course their purpose is to influence the ex-soldier element in the next Presidential contest. 1 The citizens say that the Grand Army need not bother itself about the President’s visit. He will be their guest, and they will look after his entertainment. A movement has already been started to have a committee of citizens appointed to make all necessary arrangements for tho visit. •Of course it will be annoying to the Presi dent if his A’isit causes ill feeling. If the trouble threatens to assume such proportions as to attract wide attention, he may not go to St. Louis at all. It is probable that he is not so anxious to go there as to run the risk of interfering with the plans and purposes of any considerable number of those who may be assembled there. Those of the Grand Army who want to use that organization as a political machine ought to be given back seats. If they want to condemn the President’s pension vetoes let them do it at their respective posts. The efforts thus far to secure an expression of condemnation of the pension vetoes from Grand Army Posts have not teen very suc cessful. In fact, about as many |>osts have approved as have condemned them. If the truth were known it would appear,probably, . that the majority of the ex-Union soldiers approve them. Mother Cowles, of Oakville, Conn., spends most of her timo writing to lawyers urging them to give up tbeir profession, and to clergymen praying them to hold a conven tion to reform the world. Hhe tells the lawyers that they will all eventually be damned. She says there is a chance for newspaper men if they will publish nil her sayings, do what they can to help on her work and stop working Sundays. The re form Mother Cowles has undertaken is ns hopeless as that undertaken by the McGlynu- Georgo Anti-Poverty Society. The gentlemen comprising tho Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Acade my must have been pretty well soakisl while they were at that institution. TlioSuperin tondent of the academy submitted to Comp troller Butler, of the Treasury Department, a bill of SSOO for intoxicating liquors fur nished them. The Comptroller has refused to approve the bill, urtd, unless the visitors pay it, the Superintendent will have it to do out of his private funds. John L. Sullivan, the slugger, whom the newspapers jokingly call “the favorite son of Boston,” seems to be tho favorite son in fact. Borne of the Boston jiapers are abus ing certain New York cities for refusing to allow the slugger to give sparring exhibi tions. Truly, times in Boston have changed, and they have not changed for the better. Mr. T. H Meiriniee, of Louisville, Ky., went to church the other night, and while kneeling in prayer suddenly became rigid as if dead. Ho was removed to his home, where he has since remained in a comatose THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1387. 1 Vigilance the Price ot Safety. The dispatches from Key West indicate that the health authorities there are prepar ing for an old time yellow fever epidemic. There are thousands of unacclirnnted people in that city, and it will therefore be ex tremely difficult, if not impossible, to check the disease. The chances are thought to ho that it will not disappear until it has run its course through the entire city. There are many eases of the fever at Havana, and while it is not declared epidemic there the probability is that it will become so. Under the circumstances tho health an tliorities of tho South Atlantic and Gulf ports have a very grave responsibility rest ing upon them. Since the establishment of strict quarantine regulations tho yellow fever has made its appearance in these ports much less frequently than teforc that time, and when it has made its appearance in them good reasons have existed for thinking that it was imported. The prevailing opin ion is that the disease d'x>s npt originate anywhere in this country. If this opinion is correct, too groat care cannot be taken to guard against its importation. Tho people not only of the ports, but of the interior towns, depend upon the health officers who have charge of quarantine mat ters for protection. Vigilance of the strict est kind alone will satisfy them. They will not overlook earolessness of any sort, par ticularly if it results in the introduction of the disease. With a strict quarantine and good sani tary regulations, conscientiously and fear lessly enforced, the people feel in a measure secure- There are those, of course, in every exposed locality who will disregard all laws for the preservation of the public health if their interests would be advanced by so doing. They should he made to understand that no individual interests will be permitted to endanger the welfare of a whole com munity. The reports that there has not been a strict enforcement of the quarantine laws at this port are. at the request of the Health Officer, to be investigated. Let the investi gation I>e a very thorough one in order not only that justice may be done the Health Officer, but that the other Southern ports and the country tributary to Savannah may fee! certain that there will he no care lessness hero in quarantine matters. Quarantine in Florida. Jacksonville has taken precautions against the introduction of yellow fever into that city. She has established a conditional quarantine against Tampa and two or three other places on the Florida coast, and an unconditional quarantine against Key West. She now proposes to have the Key West mails fumigated. It seems that the action against Tampa was taken because of the belief that the quarantine regulations there were not strictly enforced. A traveler from Havana told the Jacksonville authorities that he had no difficulty in leaving Havana and in land ing at Tampa. It was on this information that the Jacksonville Board of Health acted. It is stated that if the board had not established the quarantine that it did New (Means would have quarantined against the whole of Florida. The board’s course was, under the circumstances, a wise one, whether there was a necessity for it or not. Tho temper of tho people is against holding free communication with those communities which are indifferent about keeping them selves free from infectious diseases. A Isindon tt Ingram to tho Now York World says that the “American Indian,” Red Shirt, visited the Savage Chib on Sat urday night in full war paint. There were also present Fly Above, Little Bull, Col. Cody, Mr. Burke, Broncho Bill and Wilson Barrett. A pipe of peace was smoked. Red Shirt promised to send tho historical calu met to the club on his return to America. He alluded to the members of the Savage Club as “brothel’s,” and returned thanks lor receiving the warm hand of friendship. Col. Cody also made a brief address, speaking of the kindness with which he aud his com panions had been received everywhere since their arrival in England. The fact that Col. Cody anil his showmen have been so cordially received by the Edglish, from the Queen down, while hospitality was denied a Georgia military company, is a curious commentary upon English wavs. The New York World tells rather a queer story about Congressman Tim Campbell. He went to Congressman Crain, of Texas, one day, and said: “Billy, I will make a fair exchange with you. The people in my district have not an inch of ground on which to raise flowers and vegetables. I will give you an order on the agricultural and horticultural bureaus for all the seeds coming to me, if you will give me some ap pointments in the Brooklyn navy yard. You can get three or four fellows a job in the Brooklyn navy ye rd. You can say they live in New York, but have relatives in your district who are friends of yours.” According to the World, Congressman Campbell worked about a dozen Southern Congressmen on this plan. He borrowed seeds from Congressmen of Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and other large cities to meet the extra demand. The New York Times says that Mr. Hyatt, the new United States Treasurer, has made an unfortunate innovation upon the careful business methods of his prede cessors by permitting the interest checks is sued by him to go out without his autograph signature, the checks being stamped by a fac simile rubber representation of his sig nature. It is claimed that Treasurer’s checks are atiout the only documents ema nating from tho accounting or disbursing officers of tho department which have not such a multiplicity of initials and signs to countersign upon them, as to make their forgery a practical impossibility. Mr. Hyatt pleads pressure of business and lack of time as the reason for adopting tho stamp process. lie promises to abolish the prac-, tieo. Mre. Rogers, the wife of William K. Rog el’s, alias William Kissane, tells a curious story about tho warfare on him. She says that Gen. Dnrr and his wife were the guests of herself and husband at Sonoma, Cal., and that Mrs. Dnrr secretly examined the furni ture of the house and made an inventory of it. Bon. Darr made a demand upon Rogers for $115,000 in behalf of the New York Chem ical National Bank, whereas tho bank claims only $4,300. It is supposed that the suit recently instituted by the liank will bring out the whole truth about this now famous case. The amount subscribed to the fund for the Itenefit of the widow of Oeu. Logan was tHVI,OB4’4o. All of it has been collected and paid to Mns. Logan, except 41,000 subscribed by a Montreal tjmn. Mrs, t igen ain^ears f CURRENT COMMENT. Wants to Flg-ht It Over.

A lady went into a small shoe store not a thousand miles from Boston, last week, to be fitted to some boots, and while waiting for the attendant to attend glanced about at the shelves and boxes with thetr tempting and uncomfort able contents. On one of the boxes was printed "mohair shoes.” “What are mohair shoes?” she inquired. “I never heard of them in Boston or New York.” “O,” said the proprietor gra ciously, taking out of the box a pair of stunning high-heeled shoes, "they are called mohair lie cause of these big buckles." “Don’t you mean Moliere ?" asked the customer. "No, I don’t. Jimmy wrote it. He sgid it was something French.” The lady smiled to herself and said “Jimmy” might know French, but that stylo of shoes was named for a great Frenchman who was called Moliere. uot mohair: and then the at tendant being prepared to attend, she had her boots tried on.

A great many of our best citizens clamored for a daily paper, and when it was issued they wanted it delivered free, and kicked because the inside pages, which were filled with plates, were not devoted to local news.

Loxgwood, Fla., June 2. ~~Kditnr Morning Fetes: Apropos of your editorial, in a recent issue, on the “Typical Southerner," I wish to call your attention to the paucity of Southern heroes in the novels of the day. There are Southern heroines in plenty, but Ido not recall any recent novel of any consequence, with the exception of the “Bostonians, in which the hero is from the South. The male characters generally make no pretense of being anything else than lay-figures, that are supposed to repre sent sotne general type. There is hardly ever the slightest attempt to give them any individ uality of character; they are usually conven tional, and never realistic. Mr. Janies, in his Bostonians, has made a very good study of our Southern type, and from this has produced a real character. The character is not altogether an admirable one. and he oc casionally makes his hero do and say some strange things; but it is the most successful at tempt, nay, almost the oaly one, to maker a real study of this type. In the same work he intro duces some peculiar Boston types, and it would be interesting to know what the Advertiser would think to have theso types called "topical Bostonians.” Windsor Smith. Last Z xy of the Flea Market. From a Copenhagen Letter. Yesterday was the last day of the flea market. The fifty-two old women whp have sat haggling over their uncanny wares in the square by the government pawn shop until the queer band had become a part of the familiar physiognomy of the city, had been told.that their time was up at 3p. m. sharp, and that the flea market would then be a thing of the past. They had appealed in vain to the Mayor, to the Minister of the In terior. and, as a last resort, by deputation to the King, praying that in consideration of their great age they might keep their stands or move them elsewhere until they could drop out to gether, as it were. They were told that there was no room for sentiment in their case. Per haps the fleas had killed it. Their mixed stock of second-hand clothes, old rags, felt shoes and crockery certainly harbored a fair share. But, then, it was a very cheap market—so cheap that others than the very poor sought it for bargains. No matter; they must all go together. Cus tomers had come from far and near to the clos ing sale until the square was black. So brisk a trade tic* flea market had never known. In spite of it more than one aged face was wet with bitter tears as the hands of the old tower clock pointed to 3 anil the word to move ou was given. There was very little left to move that was worth it: nothing more worn or shaky than the old market women themselves. As they filed out with their bundles, easting stolen glances behind them, one of the characteristic tradi tions of this old city went out with them and became a thing of the past. A Self-Made Lady. From the Arkansaw Traveler. ‘You seem to be much attached to your wife," said the Governor of Arkansas, addressing an old negro who had lust paid a tribute to the ruler of his household. “I is, sah, powerful. Dnt lady is one ermong er thousand, an' does yer know dat she's er se’r tr.ade lady?" "A self-made lady?" “Yes, sah. she's er se’f-made lady. When we wuz fust niaird, she wuz er sort o' helpless crit ter, Been raised roun' de house 'rnong de white folks, an’ didn’ gin much o’er promise dat she would eber'mount ter much, an’ I wuz softer slow ’bout marin her, I wuz, ’case I’se putty much o’er bizness man merse’f. At fust ft wuz erbout ez much ez she could do ter draw er bucket o’ water, but ’stead o' Hingin' stumblin’ blocks in her way, I ’conraged her, I did." “How?

It takes each forty-five min utes a day to do her Readers of some papers fre quently find a g’uast human skele ton pasted on a sf their paper. This is not the work of the publishers, but, of an enterprising quack doctor who takes this way of advertising his nostrums. It is generally supposed in this country that Paris has finer spectacular plays and more bril liant stage setting than any other city in the world. But M. Clarette, director of the Theatre Francais, says that the London managers excel all others in those particulars. Two gypsies were married at Macomb, 111., re cently. When the bridegroom was asked if he took the woman to be his wedded wife he an swered: “Just as you say.” After the ceremony the man went out of one door and the woman out of another, and they did not appear to be in the least interested in each other. Mbs. John Fanning found an egg on a fence near her home at Millford, 111., which she took to the house and cooked and ate. Alarming symptoms of being poisoned soon came, and a physician was summoned and with great diffi culty her life was saved. The egg, which had ainenic ingeniously injected, was placed on the fence for crows. A Gratiot county (Mich,! man, who cut off a couple of his fingers during his term of sendee in the late unpleasantness, applied for a pension recently on the ground that a Confeder ate bullet removed His digits. His eyes bulged out as a special agent stuck his regimental record under his nose, as follows: “Discharged owing to self-inflicted wounds to escape duty.” All the villagers near Baiiunda, west coast of Africa, are having a big time lately. A man came from another country who claims to lx- alile to give them eternal life. They went through certain perfofcances, eating food that had been bewitched, etc., going to the grave yard and stopping up all the holes in the graves so that the spirits could not get. out to kill any body—women fed it to their babies. A German writer has found that the present year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of the waltz. In 1187 a Spanish composer named Vin cent Martin had an opera performed in Vienna in which there was a dance Which so captivated the town that all Vienna took at once, to waltz ing, or “valsing,” as it is now common to say. The “tournante” is said to have been a rudi mentary waltz, “expressive of innocent joy." A short time ago a middle-aged gentleman in Dublin presented an intelligent parrot to a Miss Angelina, whom he meant to marry. He is now being sued for breach of promise on account of the bird. He knocked at his financee's door. The parrot said “Come in.” He went in. diseov ered a strange young man sifting on the sofa with the young lady, and then the parrot imi tated a long string of kisses and laughed fiend ishly. The match was declared off, and the young lady brings suit, She declares that the parrot was w rong. It is said, on the authority of “an American railway engineer," that, low temperatures do not decrease the strength of rails, as it is commonly supposed, although it is true that accidents are more likely to occur from broken rails in cold weather. This is because when the ground is frozen hard it loses its elasticity. Nevertheless, something must yield when the train runs over the road; it is the ground that yields in un frozen weather; but during a freeee the ground will not yield, and the rail, as being the weakest part of the structure, has to suffer the conse quences. A few days ago a tortoise was found on the farm of Mr. Henry M. Kepler, near Middletown, Md., which had the “C. S.” and the date “1781” cut ou the shell. This find caused Mr. Kepler to look up his old deeds, and among them he found one dated 1756, conveying the farm to one Caspar Shoaf, and is now satisfied that the initial on the shell of the tortoise are those of this former owner of the farm. How old it was when thus marked—l2o years ago— cannot be known. The tortoise was again set at liberty by Mr. Kepler, and in a few- hours there after had disappeared. Jabez Hall an aged and respected planter living near Mariana, Ark., advertised for a wife some time ago, and the answers were so numer ous that he was at a loss how to chodSe. He has since settled the matter, however, by a very neat and satisfactory expedient. He gave each applicant a number, and, writing the numbers on separate cards, put them in a box and shook them up well. Then he blindfolded his little grandchild and had her draw a card from the box. He is now corresponding with the lady to whom the card had been allotted, and ’it is probable that a wedding will result. Mlle. Hele.ve de Rothschild, only daughter of the late Baron Solomon, of Paris, is possessed of an unconquerable resolution to marry Capt. Van Smesseir, a young officer in the Belgian army. The opposition of the lady's mother and other relatives will prevent the ceremony from taking place before August. Mile. - Helene already possesses an immense fortune, and her dowry will ultimately amount to $30,000,000. a sum which her future husband has only read of in romances. Mlle. de Rothschild has pi r 'based the splendid hotel of Baron Hirscb. near the Champs Elysees, as a future residence tor her self and her husband. Prof. Trowbridge’s plan of subtra: ine tele phony, in which speech was to be transmitted between vessels at sea without the aid of any connecting wires has been aliandoned as im practicable, as the system upon which Mr. Edi son has been experimenting in Florida is more promising of good results. In this system the telephone signals by long and short explosive sounds, instead of spoken words, and communi cations have been successfully exchanged through the water between vessels from three to four miles apart, with the prospect that the working limit may be increased with improve ment in the apparatus. There are still a few theorists who justi.y polygamy on the ground that more women are born into the world than men, but the theory has long been exploded. Augnst Babel, in his remarkable work, recently translated into Eng lish, shows that in ten States, with a population of 250.000,000, the excess of females over modes was only 2,500,000: and when we remember the extent to which men outnumber women in the colonies, and the fact that in India there are 6,000,000 more men than women, the natural infereneg is that if the inhabitants of the earth were distributed according to the sexes men and women would lie found to exist in about equal proportions.

The old town from which the savior of France took her title is celebrating the four hundred and fifty-eighth anniversary of its deliverance from the invader with a series of splendid fetes. The principal squares and streets are ablaze with banners and oriflamnies; the air resounds with the peals of bells and with martial music: cannon are saluting the memory of the valiant maid, and yesterday, in opening the festivities, the Bishop of Orleans, holding aloft the stand ard of Joan of Arc. which he had received from the hands of the Mayor, blessed the kneeling and enthusiastic population Torchlight pro cessions and fireworks complete the programme of a fete which has attracted to Orleans the in habitants of the neighboring districts for miles around. Thkiik are more Carlyle letters In store, and they are to Tie brought out, like the early letters lately published, by Mr. Norton. The new series will be of very especial interest, since they.are letters of Carlyle to Browning. Such a prospect may well make literary mouths wafer. Carlyle and Browning were close friends, and the former greatly befriended the latter when he was a young man comparatively unknown mid with nia way to make. This is a fact not perhaps generally known. Carlyle has been unfort nnato of late In the accounts given of him to the public; hut hv degrees personal testimony is being borne to the fact that he was very helpful and kindly to many who needed encouragement and counsel. It may in fact lie said of him that his bar], was worse than his bite. Very often after blurting fortha longtirade in a tone of great excitement he would wind up with a merry guffaw, as If to convey that he knew perfectly well what extravagant things he had been saying.
