The Anarchists in the Chicago jail return thanks every night for the law’s delays. "The Georgia boom in oil” is the latest. It is perfectly harmless, but is likely to prove a great bore. The latter part of the G. A. R. com mander's name suits him very well, but the 'first doesn’t. He is a child, but he isn’t fair. Too many statesmen are going to Europe. If the exodus continues it will not be long before the quiet in this country can tie felt. No guns have been fired on the South yet. Can it be that the G. A. R.’s flurry about the captured flags has failed to stir up an other war* In Sonora, Mex., dead Apaches bring SSOO each. Perhaps this accounts for the efforts now being made to convert live Apaches into dead ones. “The music of the future,” says an ex change, “is not to come from Germany, but Japan.” It doesn’t matter where it comes from, provided none of it is heard utter mid night. A poet writes: “I know sweet songs I cannot sing.” Nobody will object; but a vigorous kick may be expected if the poet attempts to sing sweet songs ho doesn’t know. In the death of Judge O. A. Lochrane the Prohibition cause in Georgia loses a staunch friend. His example and work in Atlanta did much toward closing the barrooms in that city. Lord Tennyson’s gout grows worse. He ltu.-. decided to write no more poetry until the doctors give tho word. There are peo ple moan enough to hope that the word will never be given. The United States Consul to Madagascar is in luck. The Queen has given him a bul lock, six chickens and three geese. But then —horrible thought!—suppose she merely wishes to fatten him before killing and eat - ing him! In some of the dry goods houses in Cleve land, 0., the salesmen are fined one cent every time they use a word of slang.

In New York, the other day, John Tobin knelt down on Broadway and fervently prayed God to save the city from the jxffi ticians. Ho was arrested by a police officer and locked up. Tobin's prayer was needed, and it was gross ingratitude to imprison him. * John 11. Alexander, the colored youth, who graduated at West Point this year, stood thirty-two in a class of 61. Ho promises to make a bettor record in tho army tlian Flipper did. A colored youth was bounced out of the Signal Service a few days ago. It doesn’t follow, however, that because Flipper aud Whitaker and tho Sig utl .Service man turned out budly that Alexander will. A Southwest Georgia negro declares (hat Congressmen are a curso to tho country. “Bar was er time,” he says, “wlicnde water millyon growed close up ter de fence, but ills here long an’ short haul bizuess has mode de farmers plant in de middle ob de Aid's, and now when er nigger wants er watcrniillyon what b’longs ter another man de haul’;; so long he's li’blo ter lw notched.

He arrived at South ampton in good spirits, and at once linked for the news from the United States.

This week will be an interesting ece throughout the British empire. The prepa rations for the celebration of the fiftieth an niversary- of Queen Victoria's reign are very extensive. There will be ceremonies of an impressive character, and parades and fire works for the amusement of the people. The Quom will be the toast at many a ban quet, and her loyal subjects will vie with each other in their eipissswes of good will and kindly feeling toward her. The Queen herself will come forth from her partial re tirement and take part m the jubilee festivi ties. Since her widowhood began she has ap peared but little in public. She is a -trauiger to the greater portion of her subjects even in London. It is expected, however, that dur ing the jubilee celebration she will be the chief figure in the principal ceremonies and parades. The people of England may not be very strongly attached to royalty, and to aristo cratic institutions, but they have very high regard for their Queen. She has led a pure life, and is a model woman and mother. She has furnished an example which Eng lish mothers can follow with safety, and Englishmen point to with pride. She is not a great Queen, nor in any sense a great woman, but she has had a remark ably successful reign. At the close of the fiftieth year of her rule the British Empire is greater than it ever was. Although hav ing strong domestic inclinations she hes always taken a lively interest in public af fairs. Her aim has been to promote tlm welfare of her subjects, anil to increase IV greatness of her Empire, but it is probable that the chief thought that has occupied ter mind throughout the gi-eater port of her reign is how to strengthen the hold of her family upon England. To insure the throne to her descendants she became Em press of India, consented to the marriage of a daughter to oue of her subjects, and has been diligent in the accumulation of wealth. It is by no means certain, however, that at the end of the next fifty years one of her family will occupy the throne. Indeed, there are reasons for doubting that there will be a throne. England is growing more democratic each year. The people are gradually acquiring the power which roy alty- and the aristocracy have enjoyed ex clusively. The House of Lord,s, the estab lished church and the privileges of the no bility are losing favor, and the time that will witness their overthrow may be near at hand. Whatever of sincerity there will be in the rejoicings of the present week will be due to the admiration of the womanly qualities of the Queeu, and not to any marked appre ciation of royalty. It is probable that the Queen,'to some extent, realizes this, and beneath the smiling face that she will pre sent during the jubilee celebration, it may lie that she will carry an aching heart. If she could feel that the people were loyal to royalty and to aristocratic institutions, and that they would stand as firmly by those who are to succeed her on the throne as they have stood by her, the present week, doubt less, would be one of the happiest of her life. The jubilee funds were not forthcoming without much urging. The hearts of the masses are not in the celebration. The trouble in Ireland, and the grave questions which are pending in Parliament, make a deeper impression upon the people than the celebration, and while they will join in the rejoicings, and give expression to kindly sentiments toward the Queen, they will do so ivith the feeling that the throne and its props are in a rather skaky condition. The Course of True Love. The course of true love is sometimes straight and sometimes crooked. This is not as the poet expressed it, but it is plain prose that may be eusily understood. When true love is straight its affairs never obtrude themselves upon the public; but when it is crooked the public is generally made ac quainted with all the details. Formerly the gossips spread the news about true love’s tribulations, but now it is spread by the newspapers. The Cincinnati Enquirer, for instance, tells a tale that will provoke the sympathy of every lad or lass that feels the sting of one of Cupid’s darts. For more than a year Henry French, a well-known and popular young man of Wilkesbarro, Pa., devoted himself, with all the ardor of a nature said to be unusually intense, to Miss Mary Meehan, a lovely blondo residing in the southern portion of the city. She reciprocated his devotion and plighted her troth to him. Unfortunately, Henry had auburn hair. The Enquirer says auburn, but the painful truth is Hcury’s hair was a fiery red. The Meehans ad mitted Henry’s good qualities, but they drew the line at his hair. In fact, they despised him becauso of his hair. Mrs. Meehan declared w-ith many on em phatic shake of the head and gesture of the hand that she would not allow her daughter to wed a man whose hair made her think of a conflagration every time she saw it. Miss Mary, however, resented her mother’s offen sive langauge concerning Henry’s liair, and boldly announced that she would, marry him or take jison and end her earthly ex istence.' Evox-y effort was made to keep the lovers apart, but without success. They established a code of secret signals, and when she would signal that the objecting parent was out of the way, he would seize the occasion to enjoy a short but sweet in terview. Miss Mary’s two brothers sus pected that the lovers were secretly meet ing each other, and they consulted together to devise a plan that M-ould effectually pre vent Henry from showing his red hair on the premises. They watched Miss Mary’s windows several nights, and were finally re warded by seeing Henry stealthily approach the front gate. When lie was least expect ing an assault, they seized him and placed him in a rough coffin constructed for the occasion. They then close.! die lid and held him prisoner until he swore that he would never seek Miss Mary again. So far he luis kept his oath, but he has brought suit against the two brothers to recover damages for assault and battery, declaring that while he was in the coffin lie was nearly suffocated. Many times has the course of true love been crooked, but never before lias it been crooked under circumstances so sad. No doubt tho names of Henry and Miss Mary will yet bo einbajmed in poetry by some genius worthy of.tljo task. ■< A new play (Tilled “Anarchy,” is a great success. It Is not surprising. There doesn't seem to be anything in this country U> pre vent the success of Anarchy, whether the shallow or tho substance. Putting Anarch ists in prison certainly doesn’t prevent it. Tlio statement is made that slugger John L. Sullivan has now gone eleven months without strong drink. The lost time he was on a spree lie said that he felt pretty well wound up. but nobody thought he wfts i wound up for such a long run. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE lit, 1887-TWELVE PAGES. Tho Grand Army Flurry. Tbt excitement over the battle flags inel ■ •1-r.t is quieting down, and those of the Grand Army people who were so yiolent in tho expression of their feelings are U’gin nu sr to feel that they made a rather sorry exhil- tiou tf themselves. Now that the truth of tho whole matter has been pub lished it has been found that no request for any • : the banners was ever received at the War Department from tho Soul h. The proposition to return them to those to whom they originally belonged was suggested to the Adjutant General of the army by re quests from Northern States for Union ban ners. He thought it would be a grace ful thing to return the Confed emte banners to tho States from whose troops they were originally taken, and the Governers of these States offered no objection. They do not appear to have shown any great desire for the flags, and what they have said since the flurry over them shows that they would much rather let them remain where they are than that they should be made the occasion of arousing feelings of bitterness between the Northern and Southern people. Gov. Lee, of Virginia, speaking aliout the matter, said that while the Southerners would have ac cepted the banners they were content to let them remain where they ere. Ho also re marked that “flags captured from Northern troops, by Southern soldiers, have been re turned, in some cases with ceremony. The country should not again lie agitated by pieces of bunting that mean nothing now. The South is part and parcel of the Union to-day and means to do her part toward in creasing the prosperity and maintaining the peace of the republic, whether the flags rot in Washington or are restored to their for mer custodians. ” This kind of talk is much more sensible than the foolish utterances of Gen. Fair child, mid will commend itself to the masses of the people. The South had no part in creating this flurry. She didn’t ask for the flags, and didn’t get excited when the Grand Army and the Republican organs raised a howl over the-proposition to return them. The whole affair is a Northern one. The excite ment that was stirred up, over what was in tended to lie only an evidence of returned good feeling, was expected, no doubt, to furnish political capital for the Republican party. If the Southern people had shown any feeling in the matter the political schemers might have scored a [Kiint, but as they remained indifferent the affair will have no influence in politics. The mischief-makers have accomplished nothing beyond making themselves ridicu lous in the estimation of the country. Kalakaua’s Kingdom. King Knlakaua, of Hawaii, appears to be having a good deal of trouble during thq absence of Queen Kapiolani, who is in Lon don taking part in the jubilee festivities of Queen Victoria. He has conducted public affairs in such a way that there is a very fair prospect that he will have a revolution to contend with. When the Queen returns she may find tho kingdom turned into a republic, and the King of no more im portance than hundreds of other natives of Honolulu. It is probable that the presence of the Queen is necessary to keep the King in the straight and narrow path in which he should walk. If that is the case the Queen will act wisely by getting back to Honolulu as quickly as she can. It® seems that both the Chinese and the white population are collecting arms for the purpose of deposing the King, and the King has collected arms ami ammunition in his palace with the purpose of defending him self and maintaining his position. It is said tliat about everybody with any influence in Hawaii is of the opinion that there ought to lie a change in the government because Kalakaua is w holly unfit to rule. He lacks both integrity and ability, and thinks of little else than his pleasures, and very coarse pleasures they are. He squanders the public revenues instead of applying them to the purposes for which they are intended. The result is that noth-' ing Is being done in the wav of public im provements and the jieople are every day becoming more dissatisfied. It used to be said that Claus Spreckles, of San Francisco, was tho real King of Hawaii, but he does not exercise as much influence there as he once did. What influence he had he proba bly bought. The chances are that the King wanted more money than he was willing to furnish, and he concluded he could get along as well without the King’s help ns with it. It would interfere greatly with Queen Kapiolani’s plans and pleasures if the King should be deposed before the jubi lee eelebration is over. Without the title of Queen she would cut a rather sorry figure in Loudon. The Boston Herald and tho New Orleans Times Democrat differ widely as to who will succeed Secretary Lamar in case he is appointed Justice of the United States Su preme Court. The Herald lias it from Washington that Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, has been offered the place of Sec retary of the Interior, and that he will un - doubtedly accept. The Times-De moc rat's Washington correspondent telegraphs that Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, will step into Secretary Lamar’s shoes. The Sonator and the President, it is said, are on intimate terms. Tho former is reported not to bo tired of tho Senate, but it is asserted that he wishes to avoid “the hot fight which is approaching in Georgia." One of the Sena tor’s friends is quoted assaying: “Gov. Gor don, I think, desires to return to tho Sen ate, and there is already the appearance down there of a sentiment which only needs to be organized to secure that result.” Go away from home to learn the news—and the news about Senator Colquitt and Gov. Gordon, by the way, will interest the home folks. In n Western town, the other day, a man M'lio aspired to be a teacher gavo the follow ing answer to a question put to him by the examining board; “The cause of the change of season is the earth works up toward tho north pole in summer and tho earth works down toward the south jiolo in tho winter." Ho was rejected, but there are teachers, in this country who are not half as well quali fied for their business ns he. Mrs. Amanda Delroas, one of tho most suc cessful sugar planters of Louisiuna, was re cently elected a nieinlirr of tho Iziuisiaiui Huger Planters Association, with nil the rights and privileges attached to the Asso ciation. She is a Creole, and is a shining example of what a Creole lady can do when thrown upon her own resources. She man ages her plantation with great success, anil makes a very handsome income from it. There is some talk of Mr. Lamar or Mr. Carlisle for Vice President. It is probable tliat neither is anxious for the position, and it is doubtful if either would accept it. CURRENT COMMENT. Gen. Fail-child's Double Curses. From the Few York World Bern.) Gen. Fairchild Is very dramatic in calling down double curses upon the President and Gen. Drum, but lie should he careful not to overdo tho Indignation act. There is not the slightest ground for tumult, and it is a p or sort of an American v. ho cannot keep cool Let Us Hava Peace. From the Few York Herald hid.) It was a plan worthy of the iTesident of a united iieople. It ha-1 its origin in that pre science which takes In the future and would prepare to fitly welcome it. It reminds us of tho words of Grant on lhs deathbed: "l feel that we are on the eve of anew era, when there is to be great harmony between tiie Federal and the Confederate. 1 cannot stay to be a living witness to tin- correctness of this prophecy, but I feel it within me that it is to be so. * * * Let us liavo peace." He Should Do His Own Killing. From the Few York Evening Post i/mi.) We suggest now that if t here has to be any further loss of life in this quarrel. Gen. Fairchild should do his own killing. If he or nny other veteran thinks the President ought to die for re storing the captured flags, he must not blasphe mously call on God to slay him, but step up like a man and assassinate him himself. If anything can justify the President's course, however, it would be talk like this. People will naturally say that things which call forth such ravings must be excusable, that it cannot be far wrong to do for peace and good will what fanatics resent in this fashion. Will be Approved by the Country. From the Feta York Star ( Dem.) The course of the President in directing that the delivery of battle flags to States be suspend ed will bo approved by the country. North and South. The matter is one in which it is proper to carefully regard the sentiment of all sections and associations, and that end can be best se cured by submitting the question to the ♦onsid eration of Crngress. The frank admission that inquiry lias shown that the deparmeutal order lacked that specific authority of law without which it should not have been issued or ap proved. is characteristic of President Cleveland's manly way of dealing with questions of public duty. .

All swaddled in a clout, Hirn' the Victorian annals Let her limp on with gout. “Just send some other poet. Some lusty, springing sprout, Some genius who can go if And get the best of gout I" M. A. B. Too Thin! From the Bouton Herald. I came upon a party of girls engaged in a mysterious operation. One had her dress sleeves off. aua another was applying pieces of wet cloth to her arms. “What's the matter with Maria? Rheuma tism in her back?” I asked. “Mercy, no; we are trying samples for our suits,’’ returned one of them. I was mystified. Girl No. 3 was slopping a piece of white wool material up and down in a wash bowl. She squeezed it out, and, removing the other wet rag, spread this fresh pice over Maria's arm. Maria shuddered. The girls all stood around. No. 3 exclaimed: “That shows through beautifully. You can see Maria’s pink complexion just as plain!” "That's the 75c. piece, ain’t it it?" asked Ma ria. "Yes, dear; and this is the one you can't see a thing through—that 50c. stuff.” . Then it came out. The sweet buds of inuo cenee were deciding about the materials for their bathing suits, and the one that "showed through” was the one selected. “Why, it's lovely," said girl No. 2; “you can see the mole on Maria’s arm. Ma wants me to have blue flannel—as if there was any fun in blue flannel | You just see if the men ever pay much attention to blue flannel. I say they dpn't.” “I’ve been thinking.” mused the quiet miss, who had not spoken before, “how pink nun's veiling made double would look?” “Not nice at all,” answered Maria; “cream white is best. Then one's own pink arms show through. I don't know what Annie will do, any way. She’s just chocolate color under her sleeves; she'll come out like a mulatto." Amos Was Equal to the Occasion. From the Providence Journal. A few dnys ago a South Main street market man bought a lot of live fowl and determined to kill and dresstbem himself. Therefore he hired to help him a certain map whose first name is Amos. During the dressing of the fowls Ainos picked up one and said: “Hero is a flue one that will weigh three pounds when dressed." The marketman thought differently, however, and soon a bajnas made, $3 being puL tip by each jmnyJm.c rnnrkelmnn bettiug Unit (t would nofßTd Amos betting it would weigh three noun*. Another man who was present also backed up the marketman, putting up another dollar, making f7 in the pool. Amos now bvatgreeinent starred for toe market, where fA was to have Ihe fowl weighed, nnd tjWtlso i Airing the voucher of the uerron w.'iHjrJg: it. "font he reached the market he Htoj/fn at a certain grncwjr store and weighed the chicken there, and it just turned the scale at two pounds fourteen ounces. Atnon procured four ounces of tea lead and stuffed it into the fowl, and he then proceeded to the market and had tlie clerk weigh it, and hen- it turned the balances at three pounds two ounces; and the clerk gave to Amos the certified weight. Amos now proceeded back to the two other parties to the bet and presented the affidavit of weight, and took the $7 and started*off to get drunk with it, since which time nothing has been stum of him. The markotman soon discovered that he had been duped, and is looking for his de ceiver with blood In bis eye and a cleaver in his hand. George Washington’s Check. From the Few York Herald. In one of the public barrooms down town there was displayed veaterdav a check drawn on a Baltimore hank by Georg" Washington i n 17;K.

A white blackbird may be seen caged side by side with its jet-black nest-mate in a Paxton (111.) cigar store. It was found in ex-Mayor Bliepardson's door yard, where it was hatched. It is precisely like the male only white. The sinking cave, six miles southeast of ltochei>ort, Mo., is one of the greatest natural curiosities in Central Missouri. The cave has three channels, exteuding each a mile under ground. Where the two side chambers ('ranch out from the middle is a pool of water, said to be fathomless. At a Hungarian wedding in Bethlehem, Pa., last week, the justice married the witnesses in stead of the parties who went to be joined in wedlock. Discovering his mistake, he immedi ately divorced them, and completed the marry ing job aright. At an opera festival in Louisville the ocher evening the management so thoroughly enforced the '‘no hat rule" that, it is said, not a single lady with covered head appeared iu the audi ence. All were required to remove their bon nets on entering the auditorium. The Chief Justice of Connecticut, who dined the other day with the Board of Pardons of that State at the penitentiary, experienced a sudden failure of appetite upon learning that the woman who served at the table was also serving a life sentence for poismuug her husband.

The Japenese steamer Fukusawa-maru was sunk for two years in the Thames. When, raised she became the Russian boat Grand Duke Con stantine, but she was continually repaired for two years more, and iinally seized for debt. She then ran under the British flag auri upon a rock at Hakodate, becoming a total wreck. She was purchased at auction by some Japanese, who raised her and are now running her along the Japanese coast.. The Compte de Paris has been receiving his adherents from various parts of France at San Remo and at Lausanne, and is reported to have been greatly cheered by their reports. It is rather odd that just when we are told that the royal cause is "looking up," an advertisement should appear of a sale of Bourbon relics, "by one of the most aristocratic of French families. ’ One of the items is "some hair found in the grave of the Queen Marie Antoinette in 1815." The newspaper funny men, by starting the yam that Prof. Hjorth Boyesen gets 810,000 a year from a prominent publishing firm for the use of the "js" in his name, with which they niisspel it, have brought down upon him en ava lanche of letters from an army of unsuspected relatives, asking for assistance from him. This may seem funny to most people, hut it does not strike Prof. Boyesen that way. He claims that the Americans are utterly lacking in a sense of humor, and would like to drive the alleged joke home into the head of its originator if he could only catch him. A farmer in Cundinamarca (Colombia), a dis patch from Panama states, had an extraordi nary experience with a stroke of lightning some days ago. As reported, the results were that his left eye was damaged and the eyebrow was burned completely off. The hair surrounding his ears, a port ion of his beard and all the hair on his breast were burned off. All the brass buttons disappeared from his clothing, his watch chain was cut in two, a small hole was bored through his watch and the watch glass was shattered and his right side was burned. He suffered severely, but is recovering rapidly under medical treatment. About the year 1832 Mrs. Joshua Blake, wife of Joshua Blake, of an old mercantile house on Central Wharf, Boston, sent her son, Joshua Blake, Jr., then an officer in the United States Navy, stationed at Jamaica, a box of Havana cigars. His vessel left Jamaica before the arrival of the package, and it was retained in the custom house there thirty-five years. Sub sequently it was sent to the New Y ork custom house, 'where it remained twenty more years. It was then brought to light, ana recently came into possession of its rightful owner, Mr. Joshua Blake, of Boston, who has tested the quality of a sample cigar 55 years old, and found that it had not depreciated in quality. The Haydn monument recently unveiled in Vienna bears a more than life-sized statue of the great composer. In his left hand is a scroll with golden characters, while the right holds a pencil. The face is very life-like, and the ex pression is bright with inspiration. The white marble of the figure. enveloped in the long folds of a loose mantle forming the background, con trasts with the fawn-colored marble of the Tyrol, of which the pedestal is made. The whole is raised on steps of gray granite. Splen did laurel wreaths were deposited at the monu ment by all the musical societies of Vienna. Some withered flowers came from England, and, being sent by admirers of Haydn,were laid side by side with the fresh blossoms. There is one man who is deserving of a place in the history of the discovery of natural gas. Dr. Osterleni, of Findlay, knew of its presence there fifty years ago. He was passing a stone quarfy and detected its presence. He mndc a little cone of mud over a fissure, and put a bucket over the orifice. In a few minutes he struck a match under the bucket. When the Doctor picked himself up in the adjoining corn field the bucket was still in the air. sailing north iu the direction of Toledo. It was through Dr. Osterleni's energy, fifty years later, that the first natural gas company in the town was or ganized. He had been laughed at and derided for half a century, and even after the flow had been struck in 1884, they say a good many of the people thought Old Nick had a hand in the thing somewhere. The Pall Mall Gazette is bitter at the expense of Queen Victoria. For years, says an editorial article, her majesty lias been a sort of “She" to the nation, surrounded with a halo of mystery, whose existence was a matter of doubt to many of her subjects. The jubilee year was thought to lie an atonement for long years of moody se clusion. Yet at the drawing-room on Tuesday “She" dodged out of one of the back doors of Buckingham Palace and disappointed many thousands of people, who had waited patiently for hours to catch a passing glimpse of her face. Last week Cody's circus was abruptly closed to the public in order to gratify another whim of our sovereign lady, aud the nation had to pay a hundred pojjcemen to ward off the attentions of a too loyal crowd, although Cody and Red Shirt were received like blood relations. A piece of interesting information reaches me from a trustworthy source, writes a St. Peters burg correspondent of the London Times. It will bo remembered that the submission of the Merr Turcomans was gained by help of the famous Moscow merchant Kouschine, who sent his so-called trading caravan into Merv iu charge of AJikhanoff and other officers in disguise. For Hie great services (hen rendered, this pio noer of Russian conquests iu Central Asia lias been rewarded with a patent of hereditary no bility. His firm is well known for its manufac ture of cheap and highly colored cottou prints for the Asia market, and the arms now granted to him and his descendants display three bob bins, indicating the means of his elevation to rank and fortune. Precisely the same caravan tricks, I am assured, are now tried In Afghan Turkestan and by exactly the same persons. This Moscow house is full of enterprise, and be ing backed up by the government, with privi leges over t ]Transcaspian railway and else where, of course sticks at nothing. Last Feb ruary its politico-commercial caravans intro duced .Moscow goods into the bazars of Herat under our very eyes. In a posthumous prose work by Victor Hugo entitled “Chosen Vues," published in Parts re cently, he thus relates a conversation he had w ith the lute Louis Philiupe: King Louis Phil ipiie said to me the other day, “I was never In love but on ein my life.” “And with w mm'" "\Mtli Mute, de i.enlls" “But, sue, she was your governess."
