Slugger Sullivan is said to be just now
getting over another “drunk.” His pros
pects for whipping Kilrain are not very
promising.
When the impending war, of which Edi
tor Shepard speaks, is begun, Editor Shep
ard will be found at bis post of duty—edit
ing a scurrilous republican organ, out of
range of the bullets.
The Washington Post declares that Mr.
William E. Chandler is not fanatical, or
one-ideaed, but that he has broad views of
public policy. It admits, however, that he
is a partisan. He is so great a partisan
that he never displays his alleged statesman
ship.
The New York World at Sunday stated
that ex-Senator Jones, of Florida, had sent
it a complete statement of his reasons for
tuning up his abode in Detroit, and that it
would puplish the statement in its Monday
edition. Anything that Mr. Jones may say
on the subject is likely to be of interest.
The Pennsylvania prohibitionists hope
that Senator Colquitt’s opinion with regard
to the result of the election in that state to
day will turn out to be correct, but there
seams to be very little reason for hoping
that it will. The indications point to a de
cided victory for the anti-prohibitionists.
It is said that there are three commis
sioners of pensions, to all intents and pur
poses—Corporal Tanner, Col. Dudley and
Pension Agent Lemon. With such a com
bination, and with Mr. Bussey to render
pension decisions, the surplus in the treas
ury will soon show a deficit instead of a
surplus.
The esteemed New York Press, whose
editor was caught with a bait in the shape
of a fat government position, exclaims in
tiold head-lines that the Samoan settlement
■was a great victory for President Harrison
and Secretary Blaine. Isn't the Press will
iag to give ex-Secretary Bayard a little of
the credit?
Mrs. Leslie Carter occupied a box in the
Academy of Music, New York, the other
night. Manager Gilmore’s eyes are said to
have •‘twinkled’’ when he was asked about
her reported coming appearance upqp the
stage, but it is said that as yet nothing has
been arranged between him and the “fair
divorcee.”
By the way. Senator Blackburn may have
contributed to the re-election of Mr. Will
iam E. Chandler. It will be remembered
that Blackburn pulled Chandler's ear.
That probably created sympathy for
Chandler among New Hampshire republi
cans. Blackburn has much to answer for
if this view of the matter is correct.
The commencement exercises of Wells
College, iu Aurora, N. Y., where Mrs.
Cleveland graduated, will be held to-day,
and it is stated that Mrs. Cleveland, accom
panied by the ex-President, will be present.
The corner stone of anew building will be
laid, and Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland are ex
pected to take part in the ceremonies.
The report of Commissioner Henderson,
showing the condition of the growing crops
in this state on June 1, is not as satisfactory
as that issued for the previous month. The
corn and oat crops were injured by the
drougrt and cotton suffered from it con
siderably. Wheat is reported to be unusu
ally good, however, and the crop of fruit
will probably be unprecedentedly largo.
The St. Louis Republic doesn’t like Gov.
Hill, and it prints the opinions of a dozen
democratic editors who don’t think he
should be nominated for Preeident in 1893.
They don’t thiDk he would be a strong can
didate, and perhaps be would not, but he
has carried New York every time he came
before the people of that state as a candi
date, and that is something in his favor.
The President’s Insincerity.
The President is gaming a reputation for
insincerity. He doee not live up to his
promises in his public utterances, and yet
pretends that be does not know in what
respect he has failed to do so. A Washing
ton dispatch in the Baltimore Su n a day or
two ago contained a statement to the effect
that the civil service commissioners recently
told the President that tney found in many
localities an almost total disregard of the
civil service law, and, also, that the impres
sion prevailed to a very considerable extent
that his administration bad no respect for
this la w. The President said that he was
not responsible for this impression, and that
if the commissioners would do their duty
faithfully he would see to it that they were
sustained.
The President has made that sort of
promise several times. In his letter of ac
ceptance he said that “ia appointments of
every grade and department, fitness and
not party services should be the essential
and discriminating test, and fidelity and
efficiency the only sure tenure of office.”
He also said that “only the interest of the
public service should suggest removals from
public office.” Any one who has noticed
particularly the appointments made since
this administration came into power knows
that these promises have not been kept. If
they had been the civil service commis
sioners would not have reported to the
President that in many localities there was
an almost total disregard of the civil ser
vice law, and that the impression prevailed
that he bad no respect for the law.
It is a notorious fact that although the
railway mail service was placed within
civil service regulations on May 1. hundreds
of removals were made in that service during
the month of May, and the vacancies filled
without any reference to the civil service
regulations. Thousands of postmasters,
against whom there was no complaint, and
of whose efficiency and fidelity to their
truste there waa no question, have been re
moved. What wonder is it, therefore, that
the impression is abroad that this adminis
tration has no respect for the civil service
law?
A few days ago the postmaster at Vine
land, N. J., was removed without cause.
He was appointed for four years, and had
served only two. Mr. Cleveland had per
mitted his prede essor, a republican, to
serve four years, and as his administration
of his office was satisfactory to both repub
licans and democrats it was expected that
he would be permitted to retain his office
for the full term for which he was ap
pointed. In fact, so pleased were the peo
ple of Vineland with his management of
their postoifice that, without respect to
party, they were ready to petition for his
retention for the remainder of his term.
When hia removal was announced the re
publican newspaper of the city said: “It
was the wish of the Vineland people, irre
spective of party, that be should be al
lowed to remain iu the office until the ex
piration of his term in 1891. Should a vote
be taken here to-day on the question of his
removal, we believe the verdict would be
almost unanimous in favor of retention.”
This is only one instance of many,but it is
sufficient to show that the President has not
kept his promises. In his letter of accept
ance he posed as a reformer, but in practice
he is proving himself to be as much of a
spoilsman as any one of those ward poli
ticians in Troy, N. Y., who, a few days ago,
when anew postmaster for that city was
appointed, parceled out all the places in the
postofflee among their political friends in
their respective wards.
If the President wants to be respected for
sincerity he must not promise one thing and
do another. He must remember his promises
and live up to them. If he intends to
reward his partisan friends for party ser
vices, by giving them the offices, regardless
of their fitness and in defiance of the letter
and gpirit of the civil service law, he ought
to say so frankly. The people will respect
him for his franknoss though they may
condemn bis practices.
A Scheme to Carry New Jersey.
The republicans of New Jersey are going
to try to carry that state next fall by cham
pioning the cause of prohibition. The pro
hibition sentiment throughout the state is
very strong, and the republicans have de
termined to take advantage of it. A gov
ernor and a legislature are to be elected,
and the contest promisee to be one that will,
iu all probability, attract the attention of
the entire country.
The republicans have already announced
that they propose to make the campaign
one of virtue against vice, they represent
ing virtue and the democrats vice. Of
course they will lose the heavy German
vote in the cities. They have always con
trolled this vote, but they cannot do so any
longer if they come out boldly for prohibi
tion.
They passed the local option law and
quite a number of county elections were
held by its authority. The democrats re
pealed this law last winter and the republi
cans propose to take advantage of that fact.
The repu licans think they will gain
more votes through the churches than they
will lose by taking a decided stand against
the beer saloons. It may be that they will,
but they should not forget that a church
member is not so apt to tako the trouble to
gt? to the polls to vote as the bee:- saloon
keeper is. The church,member will not, as
a rule, make an effort to get his friends to
vote the way he does, but the saloon keeper
will.
The scheme of the republicans to carry
New Jersey is a very promising one at
present, but it will not be so promising
when the time for voting comes. The
democrats have a grip on New Jersey that
cannot be easily broken.
Mr*. Maybrick’s chances of being acquit
ted are said to be brighter than they were
a week or two ago. A Liverpool druggist
stated the other day that he frequently
made up large doses of arsenic for Mr. May
brick, and iit is stated that frequently
poisoned dogs were found near Mr. May
brick’s home, with quantities of arsenic in
them. If Mrs. Maybrick succeeds in show
ing that her husband died from an overdose
of arsenic administered by himself, she
will be accquitted, of course, but she may
help the insurance companies, with which
be had $125,000 life insurance, in their
efforts to avoid paying the insurance
money.
President Harrison’s piety is his own
affair, of course, but when he takes Sun
day excursions on a private yacht, instead
of attending divine service, or otherwise
properly observing the Sabbath, he subjects
himself to the charge of not being as good
as he professes to be. A nice, quiet Sunday
excursion is not very sinful, of course, but
it is hardly the thing for a good Presby
terian who is the chief magistrate of the
nation to indulge in.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1889.
A Solid Boom.
When the people and the newspapers
speak of the south’s boom they know that
there is a solid foundation for what they
say. It might be supposed by some of those
unacquainted with the facts, that a good deal
of this talk proceeded from an exuberance
of enthusiasm, and that while the south
was making progress industrially, its
growth was not as great as represented.
Such is not the case, however. The facts
show that the statements concerning the
south's growth, wonderful as they may
seem, are not exaggerated. Indeed, it is
doubtful if any statement yet made has
adequately shown the extent of that
progress.
Tue last number of the Manufacturers'
Record stated, upon undoubted authority,
that during the preceding week 70,000 acres
of mineral and timber lands had been pur
chased in the south by New York capital
ists, who intended to build up a manu
facturing town; that two more furnaces
had been constructed at Bessemer, Ala.;
that locomotive works at Richmond, Va.,
would be enlarged at a cost of $750,000,
these works being the same that were
awarded the government contract, some
time age, at $634,500, for furnishing ma
chinery for the war steamer Texas; that
machine works, with a capital of $1,000,000,
would be established at Louisville,
Ky.; that 800 acres of coal lands
in West Virginia had been
purchased by eastern capitalists for $70,000
cash; that a company had commenced to
develop granite quarries near Spirta, Ga.,
a barbed wire manufactory had been estab
lished in Louisiana, and phosphate beds in
Florida had been bought for development.
This is a part of ono week’s record, and
it makes a splendid showing for the south.
The south’s progress will bo greater in the
future than it has yet been, because her re
sources are almost inexhaustible. A north
ern newspaper knew what it was talking
about when it said the other day: “The
south is now, in our belief, more attractive,
more easily accessible and more promising
than any other part of the country to those
who have either muscle or money with
which to push their fortunes.”
The Religion of the Dunkards.
We publish this morning in another
column an article from a gentleman who
resides at \V aycross, in this state, and who
is a member of the religious sect known as
the Dunkards. He takes some exceptions
to an editorial article which appeared in
the Morning News on Sunday. He
thinks the article unjust to the Dunkards m
some particulars. The statement to which
he seems to object most strongly is that the
Dunkard religion is a solemn thing, that it
tends to make long faces, and that those
who profess it are likely to appear old
before old ago has left its distinguishing
marks upon them.
This statement may be hardly fair to the
Dunkards. It was based upon the under
standing that they did not approve of some
of the amusements which are the most
popular the world over, and that they ob
jected to many of those adornments of
dress in wtuch the young find so much
pleasure.
There are very few Dunkards in this part
of the south, but, as the Morning News
intimated, they are vory desirable citizens,
because they live up to the golden rule.
Indeed, the article in the Morning News
was rather commendatory than otherwise.
There is no doubt that the Dunkards are
a thrifty people, and that their homes are
models of neatness and comfort. They add
to the wealth of every community iu which
they are found. Their standard of morals
is high, and their appreciation of educa
tional advantages is so marked as to attract
general attention. Peaceable and peace
loving, charitable and industrious, they
are a people who are warmly welcomed as
citizens everywhere.
Whether or not their religion has a ten
dency to give the mind a gloomy tinge, is a
question that may bo left with them to
decide, since they are the ones who are the
most deeply interested. The writer of the
communication which we publish this
morning says it does not. To those outside
of the Dunkard denomination it doesn’t
make much difference whether it does or
not, because it isn’t a matter in which the
public generally is profoundly interested.
President Harrison, who is so much op
posed to the improper use of money in elec
tions that be won’t invite Col. Dudley to
dine with him, has, it is said, requested
Chairman Quay and ex-Senator Mahone to
look after the coming Montana election. It
is very well known that Quay and Mahone
believe in the potency of boodle in elections,
and that they are not violently opposed to
buying votes. If they should be “caught
in the act” during the Montana campaign
the President would probably refuse to in
vite them to the white house, but if they
should succeed in “hiding their tracks” he
would regard them with great favor. That
seems to be the kind of an honest politician
the President is.
When Mr. Charles H. Litohman resigned
his position in the Knights of Labor last
year to take the stump for Harrison, it was
generally suspected that he did so not only
jSocause he was liberally paid in cash for
every speech he made, but because he was
promised an office iu the event of Harrison’s
election. No doubt he would have made
that kind of a bargain with the democrats
if he could. He has recently been appointed
a special agent of the treasury. President
Harrison professes to be a pure-minded
politician, but it seoms that he doesn’t
refuse to fulfill the promises that the repub
lican leaders took the liberty of making for
him during the campaign.
The New York Tribune calls attention to
the fact that croquet is not as popular iu
this country as it was several years ago. It
says: “We do not, of course, set up the
claim that croquet is no longer played, for
such is not the case; but it is, we think,
gradually passing away. It will ere long
became extinct, like roller skating, blue
glass, the mastodon and toboggan slides.”
Croquet is too pleasant a game to be allowed
to “pass away.” The lovers of sports should
come to its rescue.
One of the New York newspapers pub
lishes an article on the real millionaires of
that city. It says that there are in the
city 125 men worth $1,000,000 or more each,
forty women each of whom owns $1,000,000
or more, and 129 firms at least one member
of which is good for a million. It thinks
that as a general thing the wealth ot
people who have been unusually successful
in business is overestimated.
The New York Tribune, the Philadelphia
Press and the Chicago Tribune are de
lighted at Chandler’s re-election. They are
bloody shirt orgqps, and they know that
Chandler may be depended upon to wave
the bloody 6hirt. It is about all he will do.

that his mixture is perfectly harmless. Those
who have used it sav that the effect is instants
neous and there are no unpleasant physical sen
sations connected with the use of the drug. Not
only is the complexion changed in hue, but the
color of the hair undergoes a radical reforma

Mme. Carlotta Patti de Munck, sister of
Adelina Patti, is dangerously ill in Paris. Her
salon, where her voice has so often charmed
her intimate friends, is closed, and even should
she recover her health it is doubtful if she will

distinguished sister, is independently rich,
although she has been in the habit of giving
music lessons to a few favored pupils—among
them five Americans. Carlotta had she chosen
might have been celebrated as a pianist, but
her voice was too marvelous for imprisonment,
and as a concert singer she has has rarely had
an equal. Slightly lame, she was not able to
sing in opera, but iu the opinion of many, had
she entered the operatic arena she would have
been greater than Adelina.
In the Parnell commission court the other
day a youth was engaged in making some
sketches for an illustrated paper, and behind
uim stood a burly gentleman, who might have
been taken for a county magistrate. T..e latter
watched the young artist for awhile, and tnen,
touching him on the shoulder, ventured to
observe that this and that and the other points
of the sketch were not exactly what they should
be. The artist simply replied by inquiring,
“What do you know about it?” The gentleman
persisted in kindly ahd persuasive criticism.
At length the youth, convinced that, after all.
the criticism was just—indeed, the gentleman
had himself taken the drawing-block and made
the neoessa-y alterations with his own hand
remarked, “Well, you do seem to know some
thing about it certainly,” adding, "Are you on
any paper?’’ "No," answered the gentleman,
“I am not on any paper, but I do a bit of paint
ing now and then. My name is John Millais.”

An interesting story was told last year of a sup
posea mad dog out in Litchfield county that was
allied because of its strange conduct, and after
ward it was found to havo been only frightened
by the thundt r. It had run twelve miles and then
taken to a strange hoin*e, run up-stairs, awd re
iused to stir, and so was shot. It was a Scotch
coilie, and those dogs are peculiarly susceptible
10 and utterly cowed by thundar.
is one in this city not quite so bright as
t-f in fair weather, that becomes an
utter imbecile as soon as thunder or even a flre
e:w.he * rd - Yes terday afternoon, amid
tne distant rumble of a far-away storm, ne laid
a*ide his intelligence and ran wildly off from
iiome without it. A long search for him proved
rutue, but in a couple of hours he turned up, ail
wet and muddy, at his owner’s office ready to
be escorted home. On the penitential journey
homeward they met another dog. not quite so
Dli one, and, at sight of the large and
collie, the strange dog dropped flat upon
its belly and lay cringing and trembling, the
victim of abject fear, until the dog scared by a
crack of thunder nad walked proudly by. There
are ail sorts of cowards.

Triumphant Love.
From the Buffalo Courier.
“Rachel, you sob in vain. Never again shall
the young man darken the doors of this palatial
dwelling. A monster in human form, who will
go to church in his bicycle pants, and add to the
profanation by taking up the collection in that
attire can never be a fit companion for mv
daughter. Go to your chamber, Rachel, and
try to forget him, and I may take you to the
circus in leafy August."
A shudder shook the young girl’s frame, and
with a moan she crept from the room "And
must we then be wrenched apart?” sba asked of
the serene moon three hours latei “Must
Eugenio's life and mine pursue different des
,tlnV; H t ML USt r l C' l^ e sT lftly down tb™K>my,
turbid tide of baffled hope, thwarted love and
unrequited trustfulness to the ocean of despair *’ ’
A shrill sound smote upon her ear. It came
nearer. She saw the pale moonlight glint
against the wan metal. °
“Hist i”
“Ssh!"
‘•Darling!”
“Eugenio!’ l
“Come, fly with me!”
“Oh, Eugenio!"
"There's uot a moment to lose; yon bright
moon will soon sink into the bosom of them-re
haste, then, darling Rachel!”
"Shall I bring a trunk?”
“Heavens, no, my angel; I have only mv tan
dem here; bring a shawl strap!”
The whispered words smote upon the vibrant
air and made the lucent moonbeams quiver in
weird ecstacy. In ten minutes the beautiful
creature was prepared. She put her golden
head out of the window and the moonbeams
made an ureola round her crown. “Eugenio”
she said in a whisper like the dying cadences of
au yEol’.au harp, ‘'shall I slide down the water
spoul or go down the stairs?”
“Are the stairs clear, love?”
"Yes, but ”
“Then come down the stairs; why the water
spout?”
“It would be so romantic, Eugenio.”
“Oh, that’s all right, Rachel; we will write
your father that you climbed out the window
Come!”
A moment later the door of the mansion
opened, the girl tripped down the marble stairs,
fastened her shawl strap on the machine and
an instant later the betrothed had leaped on to
the tandem bicycle and were fast speeding to
ward the dawn and Clarence, where Eugenio
had ordered the wadding breakfast.
Name Immaterial.
From the Chicago Tribune.
“Hal Caught you at last, have I?"
The tall, powerful man who uttered these
words stood in the center of a group at a street
corner in a far western town. As he spoke he
brought his hand down heavily on the shoulder
of a mild-lookiug stranger who was passing by
and turned him half way round.
The tall, powerful man had previously winked
at the bystanders.
"You don’t remember me. I s’pose?” he con
tinued, with a fierce frown, as he tightened his
clutch ou the stranger's sboul er.
“Why, no; I can t say I do," replied the mild
looking man. looking at him wonderingly.
“You've forgot all about the time you leaned
out of a car of a train jest pullin’ out of Chey
enne. and knocked my hat ..ff, I reckon''"
“1 certainly don't remember anything of the
kind.’’ protes l ed the bewildered stranger. “I
never saw you before.”
“0, yes, you did! You may have forgot.it
but I haven’t.’’ And he emphasized the asser
tion by a vigorous shake. “I haven't forgot it
an’ I’ve said a thousand times since then that
if I ever met you agin I’d make you apologize
or fijht.”
“Now that I think of it,’’ said the mild-look
ing stranger, stooping to pick up his hat. which
had fallen to the ground during the shaking
process, “It seems to me I do remember som£
thing. I suppose lam bound to give you satis
faction for it. Put up your dukes.”
His bewildered look had all gone by this time
Placing himself in an attitude of defense he
danced about the big man in a way startlingly
suggestive of previous practice. -
"Before I mop the sidewalk with you,” said
the other. “I want to be sure I ain’t mistaken
Your name is—is Snaggs, ain’t it?”
“bnaggs.” replied the stranger, planting a
blow on his aptagonist’s jaw, “certainly'
Snaggs will do as well as anything else. Snaggs
it is!
“But hold on! I want to be dead sure! The
man I’m lookin’ for is Jerusalem Snaggs!”
“You’ve found him, my friend,” exclaimed
the stranger, as he banged him on the nose
“I’m Jerusalem Snaggs!” heeontinued, making
a feint with his left and administering a vicious
upper cut with his right. “O, yes, lam Snaggs
(but] from jwuack] Suaggsville, Snaggs county
[bang], near the headwaters of Snaggs creek’
Office hours from 1 to 24. Come early and avoid
the rush!”
With a final blow under the ear he laid the
burly fellow flat on the ground.
As he turned to go he said:
“My name, gentlemen, is Jerusalem Snaggs
of course, but for convenience sake I go around
under an alias.”
And he took from his vest pocket a card and
threw it on the prostrate body of the big man
After he had gone away somebody picked It up

An officer of the marine infantry, who com
manded the peuitentiary of St. Mary ala Comte
in New French Guiana lately, died of diseases
contracted at that station. Tbe inventory of
the objects he left behind him. it is chronicled
comprised a very curious cuirass, with straps
and other accessories. On examination it
proved to be of human skin. A convict had
died whose breast was covered with extremely
beautiful tattooing. The commandant of the
station knew this, and had the man flaved be
fore he was buried. For a moment ‘it was
thought that this human relic would have been
put up for auction with the officer's other ef
fects. but, fortunately, it oe urre.l to somebody
that it was rather too disgusting. It was
known that the' officer had worn the cuirass
severaltimes when fencing with his comrades.
A scientific paper recently offered a reward
for the most correct. answers to certain
scientific problems. Among others was the eld
sci-ntifle “conundrum.” which weighs the most
a pound of feathers or a pound of lead* Of
course a pound is a pound, no matter of what
subsfa ;ce, and when the simple or thoughtless
person answers that a pound of lead is the
heaviest everybody laughs. Mr. Charles Piitt
in answering this question, claims that the
pound of lead would weigh the heaviest because
the feathers would be buoyed up by a weight
equal to the amount of air which they displace
—just as a cork is buoyed up in the water. In
future, therefore, we must refrain from
laughing at the fool's answer, as practically it
is correct. Of course, if weighed in a vacuum
a pound of any two substances would weigh
alike. > 6
In a family in Renfrew, Canada, there is a cat
which is much petted. One day the lady of the
house sat down for a moment, and either to re
lieve her feelings or as a bit of innocent diver
sion, gave vent to a little whistle. Immediately
the pet cat sprang up to her lap, and with its
sheathed paw struck her a blow in the face.
The lady thought this strange, but at first
hardly connected it with the whistling. How
ever, a little time afterward, in another room
she happened to repeat the whistle, and im
mediately the cat sprang up and struct her
again. This time the lady thought it must be
tne whistling which was giving pussy otfenes
and so, with “malice aforethought,” whistled
again. Sure enough, the cat chastised her with
auotner blow, square in the face. About the
only possible explanation is that in the whistle
it fancied a call was beiug given to the pet do"
and was jealous thereat.
The following is from tbe Pall Mall Gazette:
A few days ago Hogson Boazmau, cattle dealer,
Kelso, bought a 3-year-old bullock from East
Blanerne, and seut it with others to the market
at Wakefield It was purchased for the Bar ley-
Carr co-operative stores, and in due course the
bullock was slaughtered. In cuttin g the steak
bone from the sirloin the knife came in contact
with a hard substance. This was sawn through
and a common tin whistle was found imbedded
in the undercut of the sirloin. There was no
appearance of irritation or inflammation, and
the meat around the foreign substance was per
fectly good. The whistle is ten inches in 1 ngth
and slightly jn excess of half an inch broad at
the mouthpiece. The most probable explana
tion of the whistle getting into the muscles of
the ox is that it was dropped into the straw or
other 1 jedding, and resting there in a verticle
position, with the small end upward, when the
bullock lay down, the small end, with its snarp
edge of metal, was forced into the body.
Interesting experiments recently took place
at Cherbourg, France, of which the Dix-
Xeuvieme Siecle speaks as follows: “The other
day tivo sailors belonging to our navy were
from !i in the morning till 5 in the evening
under water, at a depth of 10 meters, without
experiencing the least inconvenience. Our
readers have already divined that it was on
board the submarine torpedo boat Goubet that
this unprecedented event took place. The
commission of examination were enabled to
telephone, minute by minute, to receive the
impressions of the two men. When they came
to the surface at 5:10 o'clock they were quite
fresh, and ready to go down again. Not a drop
of water had entered the boat, and rfl-re was
not the faintest odor perceptible. It now re
mains to be demonstrated whether the vessel
can be navigated under the water as on the
surface, either by electricity or by means of
oars worked from tbe interior, which the in
ventor has placed on the boat’s sides. The boat
has been named the ’fish boat’ by the French
press.”
Lord Palmerston one fine morning, when
riding across Salisbury Plain in company with
a delicate friend who much feared a wetting,
asked a shepherd what his opinion of the
weather was. Looking critically around him,
not at the ueavens, but at tbe movements of
sheep, the man replied: “It’ll rain afore
evenin'. ’’ Tbe two horsemen were incredulous,
for the weather was simply superb at tbe time,
the perfection of a summer day—a day the like
of which can hardly be met with in any country
but England, when sun and air mingle in such
sweet proportion and so tamper each other that
the man would be bard indeed to please wno
could not attune his nature to his surroundings
—a day, in fact, which would be likely to evoke
another pleasantry from our Cockney commen
tator, in the remark that it was “a fine day for
the race!”—meaning the human race. So the
friends, disregarding the shepherd’s warning,
rode on, and wer * thorouguly drenched by a
shower which fell soon after noon. “How did
you guess it would rain?” asked Lord Palmer*
ston, n, damp and disconsolate, he and his
friend passed the same shepherd on their return
homeward. “Whenever you see you old tup
ruboiu’ of hisself agin’ that post of a moruin,
answered Colin, “be sure it’ll raiu afore night!”
