The thirteen offices of these ministries have boon held by 123 men, of whom 81 have served but once, and the total number of ministerial changes amounts to IS7. Tho record is in keeping with the mercurial temperament of tho French pcopl*. Sherman'3 Inconsistency. The speech which Senator Sherman de livered at Springfield, 111., a day or two' ago j is exciting a great deal of comment. The j reason is that the spirit of it is very ilifferont i from that which he delivered Rt Nashville, ! Tenn., a few weeks ago. At Nashville he appeared to desire to extend the hand of fellowship to the Southern people. Refer ring to the civil war he said: “It is over, thank God! but the courage, bravery' and fortitude of both sides are now the heritage of us all.” At Spring field he said that, judging from fie foreign appointments, other nations might justly “conclude that it was the Confederate cause that triumphed and not the Union cause,” and he asserted that the “Demo cratic party is the left wing of the Confed erate army.” lie declared also that there had not been a moment since the adoption of the fifteenth amendment when, if there could have been a fair election for Presi dent, at least five Southern States would not have voted for tho Republican candi date. What is Mr Sherman's object in assum ing a conservative anil conciliatory' attitude at the South and a “bloody shirt” attitude at the North ? There must be some explana tion for this inconsistency. Did he speak his real sentiments at Nashville, or did he reserve them for his Springfield speech? The truth probably is that he spoke as he felt at Springfield, and that his Nashville effort was intended for a special purpose. But what was that purpose? It was doubt less to weaken opposition to the Republican party in the South, and to open the way for buildiujpwp-rimt party in this section. Ho preliably hoped also that a conciliatory tone would influence Southern Republicans to choose dilegates to the National Convention favorable to him. At Springfield he said what he thought would be popular there, and what, in his opinion, would help him as a Presidential candidate at the North. But has not Mr. Sherman in his hunt for delegates made a mistake? Willthe Republican party accept for its candidate a man who assumes con tradictory positions in different sections of the country ? It doubtless cost Mr. Sherman a great ef fort to say what he did at Nashville. The sentiments expressed by him were so foreign to those supposed to be entertained by him that they created some surprise in the South. It was thought, however, that perhaps time had changed him since he was the ally of Eliza Pinkston, and the hope was expressed that as he advocated conciliation there was a fair prospect that then would be no more “bloody' shirt’’ politics. His Springfield speech, however, proved that he had not changed in the least, and that he hail abandoned his idea of building up the Republican party in the South. If he Is the Republican Presidential candidate he will conduct the campaign on sectional Issues. He will not try to get the five Southern States, which he claims are Republican, by conciliation. If he tries to get them at all he is much more likely' to adopt such methods as those which secured Louisiana and Florida for Hayes than le gitimate ones. That Boston Author. Tt is well known to school officials in the South that school histories of the United States prepared by Northern authors often contain misrepresentations concerning the war between the States. Of course the South is always the victim of such misrepre sentations. Some time ago the Chicago Tribune print ed an abusive editorial on an algebra alleged to have been written by Gen. D. H. Hill, President of the Middle Georgia Mechanical . and Agricultural College at Milledgeville. [Replying to the editorial, the Morn [ ing News stated, among other things, J that a Georgia teacher called the attention of a Boston author to misrepresentations concerning the Confederacy in a school his tory prepared by- the latter, and that while the misrepresentations were admitted, the author in question positively refused to cor rect them. The Boston Advertiser thinks that the Morning News has been imposed upon, and asks for the author’s name. The New Orleans limes-Democrat, joins in the request, at the same time admitting that school histories prepared by' Northern au thors frequently misrepresent the South. The Morning News Is glad to gratify its contemporaries. The author is Col. T. AV. Higginson, and the history is “The Young Folks’ History of tho United States.” Two statements were called to the attention of Col. Higginson, through his publishers, and proof that they were misrepresentations was submitted. He replied, giving his au thority for the statements, and then add<>d: “If they are not true, they are at least picturesque.” A letter was sent to Col. Higginson in which it was suggested that it could not he possible that a historian would consent to sacrifice truth for tho sake of the picturesque. Col. Higginson did not reply’, and to this day “The Young Folks’ History of the United States” contains the misrepresentations referred to. Col. Higginson holds an enviable position in Boston, und it is not likely that his refu sal to correct misrepresentations will in jure him in that city, especially as his vic tim was tho South. It is not probable, either, thnt he will suffer any injury in the South. Indeed, he is safe even from the ad verse criticism of the Southern people, for they have not forgotten tliut his dark sur roundings during the worniadohim forever after an object of compassion. Ben Butler says that tho club recently or ganized by him in Boston will not wield its influence for Republicans, Democrat*, or Mugwumps, Of course not; it will wield its influence for Ben Butler. lie never yet troubled himself about anything from which he was not to derive benefit.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 1887— TWELYPtWIeS. Tho Jury System. AVhon the Jacob Sharp trial began in New York it was very generally agreed that it would be highly'sensational. The jury hasnot yet been obtained, though more than two weeks have elapsed and over 1,800 jurors have been summoned. There has been one very’ de cided sensation, however Attempts have been made to “fix” some of the jurors for Mr. Sharp, although the prosecution has not been able to trace any of tho attempts to either Mr. Sharp or his lawyers. It will lie hard to make the public believe, how ever, that the attempts were not instigated by parties interested in having Mr. Sharp acquitted. Trials like this of Sharp’s are calculated to bring the jury system into disrepute. They create a doubt in the public mind of the possibility of getting a perfectly fair jury in any great case. A defendant with plenty of money can make it a very difficult thing for the State to get a thoroughly honest jury, and he can prolong a trial for weeks that ought to be disposed of in two or three days. There is another objection to the jury’ system which is emphasized in this case of Sharp’s. It is the number of mefi who are forced away from their business, in many instances at considerable loss to themselves, and the length of time those tvho finally’ compose the jury are kept from their homes and then' business affairs. In the 'Sharp trial some of the eleven men who, up to the present, have been accepted as jurors have already been detained from their business over two weeks, and the outlook is that they will not be at liberty inside of three weeks or a month more. They are justified in complaining, and, that too, loudly. AVhile the jury system has advantages over all others for the adminis tration of justice, the drawbacks to it are certainly assuming very serious proportions. Sharp's trial is not the first great one in this country, but it has already distanced all others in the matter of getting a jury. Buffalo Bill’s Success. There are many wonderful things hap lidling all the time, but there are few more wonderful than the popularity which Buf falo Bill enjoys in London. In this country he scarcely’ attracted notice. He was re gardful as a fine specimen of physical man hood, and was known to havo been a brave scout on the plains and something of a poli tician in the West. People even in the great cities did not make a lion of him, and in the streets of New' York the hurrying crowds gave him no more than a passing glance. In London he is a popular hero, a social lion. It is asserted that all of the 5,000,000 people of that great city know his history and are familiar with his appearance. Thou sands who have never seen the Queen or the Prince of Wales, and who know noth ing of the men wdio govern the empire, know all about Buffalo Bill. He is talked about in the drawing rooms of the rich and invited to their entertainments. In the homes of the poor and among beggars and criminals his name is a familiar one. AVhen he appeal's upon the streets crowds follow him, and when a guest in the homes of England’s proudest families he is the one who receives the most attention. VA'hatis there about Buffalo Bill that makes him such a favorite? He is not a great man and he has won no particular distinction in any field of intellectual effort. The explanation appears to be that he is a new type to the Londoner- He is a pic turesque figure with his long hair and free, confident movements. There is another thing in his favor. He is gentle-mannered and manly 7 , with plenty of self-respect. He treats all with whom he comes in contact with simple courtesy and he does not seem to regard a lord as deserving of more courteous treatment t han a peasant. He is the same self-possessed, self-respectifig man in the presence of the Queen that he is in his intercourse with the trades-people. He is appreciated for his independence, and Is a favorite because he deserves to be. Americans in London apjiear to be rather proud of him since the aristocrats have taken him up. The miracle centre seems to have been moved from West Virginia to North Carolina. The AVashington Star gives the following account of an alleged miracle at Wilmington in tho latter State. Anna Granger, a negro woman, was ridiculing and mocking another woman who was singing a hymn. Suddenly she felt a burning sensa tion in the palm of the left band, and on ex amination found a singular discoloration. The words, “The Church of God,” in blood-red capital letters, appeared plainly in a half circle in the lower iiai't of the palm. The woman screamed and acted so wildly that the whole neighborhood soon gathered, and there was great excitement. The negroes from miles around are spending their time in singing and praying. Judge Alphonso Taft. ex-United Minister to Russia, thinks New York will decide who shall lie nominated by the Republicans for President. “If the New York delegation should be a unit for a candidate,” he says, “that candidate, whoever ho may lie, will be nominated.” Mr. Blaine and Senator Sherman might find it profitable to confine their speech-making to New York. E. Cl Maclien was the brightest young railroad “developer" that ever came to Georgia. It was a pity that he could not be present at the Monticello picnic in honor of the completion of tho Covington and Macon railroad to that town. Ho is in Europe, broken down in health, caused by disappointment on account of the failure of his plans in this Stale. After waving the bloody shirt at Spring field, Senator Sherman wont to Chicago. At a reception tendered him ho said that, he was going to his home in Mansfield, 0., and retire to private life. He is wise, for if lie should lie nominated by tho Republicans for the Presidency, tho Democrats would retire him iu short order. Pickett’s Division Aasociatlbn. of Vir gfnia. has decided to nttond the reunion on Gettysburg field in July next, and to lot tho monument question rest until tho Gettys burg Association shall decide to allow the shaft to bu placed on tho spot whore Ansiis te-id fell. The reunion is expected to l/e very interesting. Republican newspapers are again urging an "aggress;v ( . campaign” in the South. Such a cn' m will accomplish nothing. Senators .a has prevented the slightest prospect i -publican succew in the South. The bloody suirt is a great solidiflor. New York and Brooklyn are alarmed about their defenseless condition. There is talk of building a dozen rams for tho defense of the two cities. Tho idea is not a bod one, and Now York and Brooklyn can vary well afford tho outlay required. CURRENT COMMENT. The Public. Will Not Believe It. From the Mrtn'.h is Avalanche (Dent.) Mr. Blaine says he was never very sick in his life. Not satisfied with a general denial, he in sists that he was never troubled with Bright's disease, a torpid liver, heart trouble, nervous prostration, paralysis, and so on through the whole calendar. It is plain that he hopes by so complete a refutation of all the charges of physical unsoundness that the public will be lieve the stories of moral obliquity which have been circulated-about him to he equally falla cious. Senator Sherman’s Loose Talk. From the .Vein York Star t.Dem.) John Sherman’s tariff allusions are most un fortunate for his own reputation as a financier and Senator. He claims that, with the excep tion of the sugar duty, tariff taxes are laid on articles of luxury. Last year sugar yielded of revenue, articles of luxury FI I 000,000, anil articles of necessity other than sugar 8102,000,000. Mr. Sherman s loose talk has only served to call attention to the fact that four-fifths of our duties arc collected on the necessaries of life. Hard Pushed. From the Boston Herald (liid.) Senator Hoar arraigns the Mugwumps be cause they have. no "clear, well defined policy” on the Mormon problem. It will lie well tor them to stir up their followers as regards this burning issue. He is disturbed to find that they have not declared themselves on the “saloon" question, either. Perhajis they will follow in the wake of the Republicans on this subject when they are able to find it. Wasn’t the Sena tor a trifle hard pushed to make a point when he was driven to find it in these directions? BRIGHT BITS.

Studying Men’s Character by the Way They Use Toothpicks. From the New York Evening Sun. “Talk aliout phrenology," said the cashier of a well-known restaurant, ”1 can got at a man’s character without feeling of his bumps. Just keep your eye on this man." As he spoke a portly, dignified gentleman walked Ipisurely to the desk and laid down a check wrapjied in a $5 note. Then he drew a toothpick from a tumbler on the desk, inserted it tx-tween his double teeth, looked the cashier calmly in the eye, struck an easy attitude, and waited for his change. When it was passed over he put it into his waistcoat pocket and left the restaurant with the toothpick still protrud ing from his mouth. "That." said the cashier, “is a man of busi ness. Did you notice bow confidently be picked bis teeth? That is a sure sign that he is in no danger of failure, j!*- is a man whom you may trust, and one who will always count the change yougivehim. Now observe thisone.” The next customer grabbed a toothpick and jabbed it between his tooth in a nervous man ner. ne gouged away here and there until the toothpick broke in half. Throwing the frag ments on the iloor, he gathered up the change for a 50c. piece and dashed from the place as though a detective were on his track. “A bad man, that,” commented the cashier, “and one who is treacherous withal. Any man who stabs at his gums as that man did would use a knife in a quarrel. The manner in which he cast the useless toothpick on the ground is significant of how he would treat a friend who had gone broke to serve him. “Lord,” continued the cashier, “I’ve studied this subject so much that I could keep talking all day on it. lam willing to bet that I'm right nearly every time. You see, no one suspects that he is being judged according to the way he uses a toothpick, and he acts perfectly na tural. A man can change the expression of his face, and the hair on the head of most men covers their humps, but the innocent toothpick is what gives them all away.” The Sad Pate of Counting Nick. N. P. Babcock in Puck . Have you ever heard the terrible tale Of Nicholas Perkins Poppingale Who counted himself to death? He began by counting railroad ties, And then he fell to counting Hies, I'm sure it isn’t any surprise That he finally lost his breath. A promising boy was little Nick, But the counting fever made him sick; I've heard of it before. When he took 4 step he counted that, He counted the purring of the cat. And counted the inches measured flat Of everything he saw. When he tried to play he had to stop. For he couldn't keop'up the count, and hop As fast as other boys. Its hard to run and count yonr strides, And count the other boys’ besides; And counting the pickets on sleigh-rides Robs sleighing of its joys. At every meal he counted each bite Which sadly impaired his appetite, And made him very thin. He counted each cry the baby gave; When he went to sail, he counted each wave, He counted the snores of his brother Dave, And the hairs on his grandma's chin. It’s a pitiful tale and yet it's true; And that counting boy was always blue, I never saw him smile. It’s all very well to count vour cash; But counting the winks of a friend’s eyelash Or the number of bites in a plate of hash Is really not worth while. „ Two Stories About Intelligent Crows. From the Xenia Home Weekly. You have often seen a great black crow. I will tell you some stories about them. They are great thieves, and they are very smart. They say that a crow can count three, and can count no more. This is how they found that out: A man lost a great deal of corn from his fields, the crows having stolen it. He went out there and waited all day trying to get a chance to shoot them, but they would not come. Then he took another man out with him. and they two stayed there a long time; after awhile one of them went away, but the crows would not comedown. Then he took two with him. and after awhile one went away, then after awhile another went away, but the crows would not come down. Then he took three men with him, and after awhile the three went away; and the crows came back and he shot as many as he wanted to. That seemed to show that the crows could count three, but they could not count four. Here is the story of a very tantalizing crow: Engineer Jack Ells of Williamsport, Pa., has a very large' and wise crow. He is two feet long from the tip of his beak to the tip of his tail feathers, and is a scientific thief. A shepherd dog, chained to a kennel in the yard, is one of his worst victims. Whenever he sees the dog gnawing a bone he sneaks up behind him and grabs him by the tail; the sudden attack causes the dog to quickly wheel about to find out what's there, but the crow holds on, and goes around with the tail to where the coveted bone is, snatches it up, and in an instant is out of reach of the angry animal. A Good Thing in Lemonade. From the Chicago Tribune. “This is lemonade, is it not:-” inquired a light haired gentleman blandly as he stepped up in front of a stand on the circus ground yesterday. The proprietor replied that it was ice-cold lemonade, and generousiy threw in the informa tion that the price was only sc. a glass. “I’ll take a glass, if you please'” said the stranger, and it was placed lief ore him. “If there is any thing I’m fond of,” he continued with much affability, “it is good lemonade,” and lie drew a lemon from one of his pockets, cut a hole in it, and with great deliberation squeezed the juice into the glass. Then from another pocket he .took a spoon and a small paper sack filled with sugar, with which he proceeded to sweeten the mixture. A crowd was gathering about him by this time, and the pro prietor of the refreshment stand was becoming red and very moist. “I’ll give you half a dollar to go away from here,” he said to the bland gentleman anxiously. “My friend,” said the smiling customer, sipping with evident satisfac tion the I leverage he had mixed, “it affords me pleasure to say that this is the best lemonade I ever drank on a show ground: here is your sc. ' And lie finished the glass, paid his money and elbowed his way out through the crowd. Half an hour later the lemonade vendor, broken up in business and disguised in a pair of green goggles and a false beard, was doing the three card monte act in a Secluded place among the canvas wagons and looking about searchingly for a light-haired and smiling stranger. Hope Springe Eternal in the Human Breast. From the San Faaneisco Chronicle. I went to the doctor one day. ""I see adver tisements.” 1 said to him.

Must the fair hand that wishes hi dully tenderly with my locks be contort to pass its soft palm over a smooth and placid skull?” "That's about Ihe size of it. ,\!J of those hair restorers only hurt your bond It'*, only vanity. Don’t bn so weak as to wash your head' with all sorts of rubbish. When once you're Imld, you’re gone. Make up your mind to that, and carry your bald head like a man.” As the doctor was bald himself, why, 1 took his advice as manly. The other nightT met his wife and 1 got to talking of hair ana incidentally alluded to the doctor’s baldness “Oh, my husband’s hair is coming back,” she so id. “Indeed?" I raid.

There is a custom observed at the Prince of Wales' house which would be much liked by the men all over the world. The tidies, scarfs, and ornamental bows embroidered by the women of royal family are upholstered in with the cover ing of the furniture. No tidies are constantly tumbling on the floor or getting away, and yet they are ornamental. Monkeys are the only animals besides man that have acquired the so-called morphia habit. One monkey, like his master, fell into a state of stupor and depression when deprived of au opium smoke for several days. To rabbits, how - ever, morphia has been administered in enorm ons doses for months—reaching eight grains daily—and suddenly suppressed without evi dence of discomfort. There are considerably over 00,000 persons confined at the present time in prisons in the United States. This is nearly nine times the number of prisoners in 1850. so that, even making allowance for increase of population, crime, or, at any rate, punishment for crime, is much more general now than then. The West compares very favorably with the East in re gard to the proportion of prisoners to popula tion. Mrs. Theresa M. Fisher died very suddenly at her home. 109 Java street, Brooklyn, E. D., Thui-sday afternoon. Mrs. Fisher was subject to heart disease, and very timid during thunder showers. During the shower on Thursday she had just kneeled at her bedside to pray when there was an unusually sharp flash and loud peal of thunder. The poor woman shuddered for a moment and then fell back upon the floor dead. Edward A. Lovelock, of Troy, N. Y., lately bought a young tree set in a tub. He brought it to his place of business.and afterward noticed a bird fluttering around the tree. This caused him to make a closer examination of his pur chase. and he discovered in the branches of the tree the nest of a lark. There were live eggs in the nest, and the bird had followed him home. Mr. Lovelock is giving careful attention to his new family. A Rockford, 111., paper says that years ago old 'Squire Ephram Sumner, a pioneer settler of Rockford county, once swam across the Peca tonica river in cold weather and walked in his wet clothing four miles to marry a young couple. All the fee he got was 50c.; and when he had kissed the bride and said “God bless you, my children," he trudged back to the Pecatonica with the well-earned coin in his pocket, and swam the stream again to get home. While a California boat was at Blanco Bay, !/over California, an officer discovered a rock of seven cubic feet, covered with strange inscrip tions. supposed to lie by the Toltecs, in the seventh century. The hieroglyphics, translated, read: "Rising sun drives perpetual. Isetac Mixcoalt. The spirit of the Tornado, which strikes with flint and devours four moons. Mix coalt's one eye visible in the clouds." The discovery of the rock has created a sensation among scientific people there. At Viscount Cranborne’s wedding the Marquis of Salisbury wore a shockingly bad hat. It was, says the Liverpool Courier , even shabbier than Mr. Gladstone's, and apparently of about the same quality as that of the late Earl of Derby, who was reputed to wear the worst hat in Parliament. The late Duke of Westminster used to be noticed for his plain, not to say mean, apparel. Asa rule, the Commoners are better dressed than the Lords, and the shiniest hats at Westminster are on the heads of the Parnellite members.

Charles Cox, aged 18, works for Morrow R. Skinner, in Roxbury, Pa. Oue day while he was walking along the road about a mile from there he saw a rattlesnake crossing the road ahead of him. He ran up and before the snake could coil caught it with one hand around the neck and with the other near the tail. Grasping it tight ly In that way he carried the snake to the vil lage, the serpent sounding its rattles, of which there were thirteen, at every step. While the boy held the snake his employer ex tracted its poison fangs with a pair of nippers and it was placed in a cage. A little boy in Philadelphia was flying a kite on the housetop. Another lad two or three houses away was engaged in the same diversion. One opened his mouth to call to the other, and just then a flock of swallows came flying by. One of them, evidently confused, flew’against the boy’s face, driving his bill clean through his cheek. In his agony the lad closed his teeth hard and held the bird fast. The swallow- was partly stunned by the shock, and. with the bird sticking out from his cheek, the lad ran down stairs to his mother. She removed the bird and it now occupies a handsome cage, in the house, and its owners wouldn’t part with it under any consideration. A charming young literary smuggler was bringing a Tauchnitz rtovel with her from Ant werp to England. She confided her intention to an agreeable stranger whom she met on the way. At London bridge he reciprocated her frankness by telling her that he was a custom house officer, and demanding that the novel should be given up. "But I have not finished it yet,” she murmured pleadingly. “Where have you got to?” he asked. She pointed with her taper finger. Gently taking the book from the fair smuggler he tore away what she had read and threw it into the river, returning the por tion that was so precious to her with the cus tomary bow. The still charming and beautiful consort of the Prince of Wales is notoriously lacking in the power of keeping her engagements. She is con stantly ten minutes late. So marked is this characteristic that when circumstances necessi tate her presence at an exact time she is pur posely misinformed as to the hour. A w riter in the Brooklyn standard says that he was once on board the Osborne, one of the royal yachts. The prince and princess were using t he boat for their annual summer cruise. A hall had been given in their honor at Cowes, and the prince, in full dress, was pacing the deck awaiting the ad vent of the princcsi from her dressing-room. Finally the little lady made her appearance, but as per usual ten minutes late. "Tut, tut.," re marked H. R. H., irritably, "late again. Prin cess: Some of these days you will be precisely ten minutes late for heaven:” Seven years ago the Dane Carl Hansen gave some performances in hypnotism in Berlin, which, after a few repetitions, were suppressed by the police. The educated Berliners took no interest in the matter, as they looked on it as a phase of spiritualistic humbug. In the mean time, however, l’regev and others have ex plained the scientific aspect of hypno tism, so that when Hansen returned to Berlin a few weeks ago, he drew crowd ed houses, and was not molested by the police. Hansen flret noticed his ''magnetic" powers when lie was a boy; and some years later tie gave his first public exhibitions in Australia. Th l ' business proved profitable: lie now possesses a magnificent villa near Copenhagen, and only continues his exhibitions to amuse himself. He says he lias always found the most susceptible subjects in central France, England and Scot land. Experiments with Danes succeed more easily than w ith Swedes. The South Germans and Austrians, und people who live in mountain ous regions In general, are more easily subjected to hypnotism than North Germans. Count Leo B.
