After bearing of that the Boston icemen got together and concluded to have a hall. Wbat a relief to the country it is to hear that Charles Antifat Dana’s old friend, Ben Butler, has sworn off. He says ha is done with criminal practice. Good boy, Ben! Great pity you hadn’t reached that very de- Rirable conclusion before the devastating Kew Orleans incident. New Orleans h making extensive prepara tions for the celebration of Mardi Gras on Fch. 10. This year the carnival Is to be on a grand scale, and the local papers are promising that the pageants will in point of brilliancy eclipse all of their predecessors, Acd that is saying a great deal. What s the matter with the emotional female scribes that they seetn to be unani mously animated with an appetite to com mit hari-kari. Here is the third of a series of such attempts by New Y'ork writers. This time it is a Mrs. Julia McDonald. Yet it is eaid that the shopping facilitios are first class in Gotham and the ice cream is good. Unaccountable altogether. Spain has turned loose a few more voters. This time the royal government allowed ©very body to take a whack at making gov ernment. But the newly manumitted voters appeared to taka but a sluggish interest in their lately acquired liber'.y. Many of them did not even take the trouble to "fling a vote,” as Cuffue puts it. Possi bly some of them have not yet found out that there was an election. Some may be quite angry when they finally learn that such a chance for a celebration got by them. Spaniards are not usually fond of violent activity. Cleveland’s indisputable ability and gen uine statesmanship become more impressed upon the country, including even his per sonal enemies, every time he appears in public. Nor is the gentleman at all lack ing in that sort of bonhomie that is pop ularly denominated cleverness. This wa? clearly demonstrated in his recent speech before the New York Tariff Reform Club, as well as on many other similar occasions, whereupon he had fun with his opponents and the democrat*’ common enemy, hand ling his subject and his subjects with no little polished severity. Knowing all these things fairly well, Gov. Dave Hill did not choose to witness the ovation offered to u man by whom he would have been so com pletely overshadowed. So he staid away. The United States senators who were buncoed by William Duval, the fond pare it of the Baltimore baby, do not intend to prosecute the bunco man. They have had a good deal of fun out of the affair, and think they are amply repaid for the loss of their money. Duval did not con fine himself to the Senat?, but sought victims wherever he thought there was a chance to find them. He wrote letters to members of the cabinet informing each one to whom be wrote for assistance that bis remarkable baby had been named for hiti). He also wrote letters to prominent men iu different parts of tbe country. Henry Waiterson received one of them, but he was not proud to have a Baltimore baby named Henry Watterson Duval, and hence did not forward either money or a present. Mr. Watterson in speaking of tbe letter be received, says: "The first thing that arrested my at.ention was Ihe postmark, it did not impress rne that Bal lliir rte was just the locality where 1 might expect a nam eake. Then the baptismal • artiiPate was too elaborate and circum kUtoLah it looked like a gratuitous offer o# . s/ewars proof Fually, the ludlrac. ds lusul, thrvogb the tickets, for money, seeemd conclusive, and 1 threw Uie Ug eo v*op- and its nouteulA into the waele bee bet, satisfied that it was a trick. * Mr. V. a’.t- isou Is a otoce shrewder man than e good many <4 the L lined Mete* set at or* FPI arid the Reform Club Dinner. Gov. Hill, of New York, was not present at the reform club dinner in New York on Tuesday night, aud some of the republican papers are ti ying to make it appear that there was a great row in the club about inviting him, and that some of the members threatened to withdraw if the governor was invited to reply to a toast The governor was invited, but was not asked to make a speech. He declined the invitation for the reason, it is said, that he heard of the trouble in the club on bis account, and did not want to cause it any annoyance. The republicans aud some democrats in sist that bad feeling exists between ex-Pres ident Cleveland, who was the principal sp-aker at the dinner, and the governor, and that the governor will never ac cept an invitation to any eatertainment at which Mr. Cleveland is likely to be present. There is no good reason why Sir. Cleveland and Gov. Hill should not be friends. It is true they are both regarded as candidates for the democratic nomina tion for President, but that is no reason why they should be enemies, and it is doubtful if they are. Uuless a great change tak a place in dem ocratic sentiment Gov. Hill will have no chance for getting the nomination. From present indications Mr. Cleveland will be nominat-d before Gov. Hill’s friends get an opportunity to put the governor in nomina tion. la every state the democrats are overwhelmingly in favor of Mr Cleveland, and while they respect Gov. Hill and reejg nize the fact that he has done the Demo cratic party excellent service they do not prefer him to Mr. Cleveland as a presi dential candidate. It is admitted that the tariff issue is going to play au important part in the next national campaign, aud that Mr. Cleveland, more than any other man, represents the Democratic party on that issue. It would be a great mistake, therefore, for the demo crats to take as their standard-bearer a man who, until quite recently, was good deal of a protectionist. That Mr. Cleveland is immeasureably more popular than Gov, Hill is shown by the can vass which the Xew £<ij /land Homestead made among the f miners of the country re cently. The Homestead sent inquiries to farmers in all states asking for au expression of opinion as to who should be nominated by tbe democrats for President in 1892, and who by tbe republicans. More than 101,000 replies were received. Mr. Cleveland got 71.787 votes out of the 108,000, and Gov. Hill only about 13,000. Of the republican candidates Blaine received 39,339, and Pres ident Harrison 31,013, From these figures it is apparent that the demand for Mr. Cleveland's nomination i3 too strong to be resisted. And it looks very much as if Mr. Blaine could have the re publican 'nomination if he should desire it. Gov. Hill has a following in New York, but nowhere else. Mr. Cleveland is strong in every state. It is oqasanse. therefore, to talk about nominating Gov, Hill. He is virtually out of the presidential race. Ilis friends may continue to advocate his claims, but if they do their time will be wasted. The west and south will go to the national convention almost solidly for Mr. Cleve land. If Gov. Hill stays away from demo cratic entertainments simply to avoid meet ing Mr. Cleveland, and to prevent it from becoming apparent how much greater Mr. Cleveland’s popularity is than his among representative democrats, he is pursuing a foolish course, and is missing opportunities to strengthen himself with his party. The'Now Associate Justice. The appointment of Henry B. Brown of Detroit, Mich., to the vacancy in the United States supreme court caused by the death of Mr. Justice Miller appears to give very general sttisfaction to republicans, and is not objeted to by democrats. It is not probable, therefore, that there will be any serious opposition to his confirmation. Mr. Brown is a native of Massachussets, and is nearly 55 years of age. He has been a resident of Detroit for about thirty-one years, and is at present United States dis trict judge of the Eastern district of Michi gan. he was appointed to that position by President Grant in 1875. He is the first district judge ever appointed to the supreme bench. Judge Brown is not a brilliant man, but is regarded as a good lawyer. He is a graduate of Yale college, having been in tbe same class with Chauucey M. Depew and Mr. Justice Brewer of the supreme court. Soon after Judge Brown went to Detroit be was appointed assistant United States district attorney, and afterward became judge for a short time of the circuit court of Detroit. In each position he acquitted himself to the satisfaction of the public, and tuaie a reputation for solid legal at tainments. Judge Brown is a rich roan and be has a rich wite, who is a social favorite in De troit. Ho has no children, but the im pression is that they will tako a prominent* part in the social life of Washington. It is the general impression that the Pres ident wanted to appoint Attorney General Miller to the position he has given Judge Brown, but was deterred from doing so by the fear that the Senate would not confirm the appointment. It is understood that Senator Stockbridge, of Michigan, is en titled to the credit of securing the appoint ment of Judge Brown. He urged his claim upon the President persistently. North Carolina’s state treasurer presents a balance sheet which is worthy of imita tion. Saturday last the joint legislative committee completed its annual examina tion of the books and vouchers of the treas urer. They were all found iu perfect shape. All tbe state’s indebtedness was promptly met. On Deo. 1, 1880, the balance of the publio fund on hand was $5,777. During the year ended Nov. 30 last the rocoipts were f 1,183.303, and tho amount disbursed during the twelve months was $1,051,931, leaving of the general fund on hand Dec. 1 last $137,343. One year ago the balance of tho educational fund on baud was $11,623, and the recaipts during the year were $23,757. Disbursements for tbe year amounted to $8,047, leaving $26,333 of this fund in tho treasury. This exhibit gives North Caroli na’s finances a decidedly prosperous look. Cloture turns out to be but a foreign phrase to faintly disguise tbe robust old American word “gag.” That's tbe reason the lepublicau senators crooned over it to tenderly.

One Effect of Democratic Victory. It is noticeable that there has been a great decrease in the number of crimes of vio lence in tbe sooth since the blacks have beoome aware of the sweeping victories which the democrats won in the November elections. Within tbe last month there have boen oompiratlvely few assaults by blacks upon white women. Before the elec tions, and particularly after the discussion of the force bill began, assaults of this char acter were quite common. The speeches made by the bloodv-shirt senators on that bill and the utterances of the stump speakers and newspapers in behalf of it during the campaign were interpreted by the criminal classes of the blacks to mean that they would be protected iu giving full vent to their passions. The consequence was that the uglv-tetnpergd, viciously-inclined ne groes became aggressive, ani their Assaults upon men, and especially upon women, became quite common. Almost daily there were accounts in tbe newspapers of out rages, or attempted outrages, upon women in different parts of the south. During Mr. Cleveland’s administration the attempts by the blacks to commit out rages upon white women and the felonious assaults upon white men virtually ceased. The two races got along together admirably. The blacks bad nothing to complain of, and, in fact, they made no complaints, and the whites were kind and considerate in their treatment of them. As soon as the Harrison administration was inaugurated, however, the reports of crimes of violence began to be frequent, and they were very numerous between the introduction of the force bill and the November elections. The speeches of Heed, Hoar and others of the republican leaders who are earnest in their support of the force bill, became distributed among tbe blacks, and had a very bad effect upon them. The November victories of the Democratic party, however, have taught tbe criminal classes of the blacks in the south that the northern people are not to be depended upon to protect them in their course cf crime; that whatever the republican leaders m *.y say, the republican masses do not encourage murder, rape, or any other crime, and that the northern people are on the side of the law and are against all law breakers, whatever the color of their skiu may be. Printing Theories for Pleasure. Fancying that the regular newspapers of the country do not afford them adequate facilities for ventilating their views and theories in a general way, some labor agita tors have.prevailel upoa Senator Quay t> introduce In the Sonata a bill authorizing the publication of a periodical about the size of the Congress ional Record, to be called the Wagi-Worker. Its object as set forth in the bill shall be “to furnish the Amsricaa people, frea of ex pense, with intelligent discussion of the principles of ‘universal co-operation at cost by tho citizens of this republic.’ ” This very important measure was oalmly referred to the committee on printing, with but small chance of ultimate resurrection before the waste paper man comes around aga n Under the provisions of the bill no pro fessional contributors are to be employe 1. No advertisements are to be taken. Iu the language of the proposition, it is to be “free, in every way free, from the common vice of profitism.” It is 9imply intended to be a vehicle into which all the cranks and theorists of the country may at will dump such ungrammatical vagaries as no well regulated publication could be induced to prim. Very likely it is to be invested with a strong spice of socialism, judging from the statement that ‘‘its publication is under taken because the newspapers of the coun try, under private ownership, can never be expected to give a fair show to the con sideration of these principles, militating as they do against the theory of private com petition or profit.” Beside an "editing clerk”—whatever that may mean—the public printer is author ized to employ "a mailing clerk to assist bim in getting out the Wage- Worker," and if what little money there is in tho treasury is not sufficient to pay its running expanses, the Secretary of the Treasury is directed to issue greenbacks enough to meot the re quirement'. Doubtless “the requirements” would be something considerable. Evidently the proponent is a rural compositor who wants to provide for a village waekly without expense to himself or his fellow crank3,and ho talks as if he knew all about it. But he should have at least allowed the public printer an able-bodied darkie for steam. Also an office towel. At least one of his desiderata will surely be realized. There, is not the faintest shadow of doubt but every vestige of “profitism” will bo wholly eliminated. There is no reasonable cause fer distress on that score. Mormonism was said to be threatening to exodust to Mexico and set up housekeeping there. Lead ?r John W. Young is reported to have just bought 3,000,000 acres of land in the northern part of Mexico, near Cashil abotnoga bay, and it is said that 10,000 Mor mons will at once move thither and estab lish tho headquarters of the church where they can escape the supervision of the United States government. Later on the whole Mormon host from all parts of the Union was expected to concentrate there, which would be a subject of no little re lief and satisfaction to the whole United States. Mr. But Young now denies the whole story, except the land purchn-e, which he says is not a Mormon venture, but merely a private enterprise. Creditors of Manager Locke, who skipped out of New York with about $60,000 be longing to his friends, have taken no meas ures to have him arrested. They will send no good money after a doubtful return. They go iu for actual cash. Therefore they will bide their time until they catch him on the road with a “good bouse’’ somewhere, and then pounce upon the box receipts. Taking turns at this they will oil finally get evou.

"You have taken a severe cold," said the old family doctor, "and it seems to have settled in your throat." ''Yes, doctor, you see I can hardlv speak," said the patient, a vivacious, brigut-eyed young woman. "Can yon stand heroic treatment, do you think?" asked the doctor. "Try me I" " Are you sure?” "Yes. anything you like; medicine, mustard plasters, electricity, anything:” said she. in a breath. "And you want to get back your voice'-" Yes! ’ "it s heroic treatment, mind you.” "All rirht—what is it?" "Youmusn t talk at all for two days." Struck lu the Right Spot. There are some bread winners in the world who are ashamed of their vocations, says the Chicago Herald, while others there are who, though not exactly ashamed, are by no means proud of them. Eddie Foy of "Crystal Slipper " fame, however, is in neither of the classes, not even a little bit. If there is anything Eddie Foy is proud of it is his profession. An I could doubters have been in Tom Prior s private office in the Chicago opera house a few days ago they would have come away believ re. Foy, bringing what was left of Us voice with him. had drooped in to give his friend Tom wnat Alf Haymin calls a merry little touch. But Tom was loath. ‘‘Y’ou have already drawn a couple or hun dred ahead. Fiddle. Y"ou get a hundred and fifty a week, and you ought to be able to live on that without going into debt.” Eddie tried to reply. But his voice failed him, ann be compromised with his injured leehngs by frowning “Besides.” Prior continued, undeterred by the frown, "it isn't good business to be advancing money all the time. Suppose, Eddie, that the clerks in Marshall Frida's big store should all ask for SSOO advance money. What would you think of the firm if it should grant such a re quest?” The frown on Foy's face gtve way to a look of disgust. He surveyed Prior a moment, then leaning forward he touched him on the shoul der and exclaimed; “Ah-h sav, cull! What's der use of talkin' about them? Those folks is nothing but trades people, whfle we’s artists!" Prior acknowledged the rebuke by handing out the desired amount, and Artist Foy left with a smile that made his ears meet. A Son’s Ingratitude. "That’s so. That’s so. Some children don't seem to have no gratitude for those who have brung them up," said the old man as be laid aside the New York Sun ho had been reading. e all looked at him. but no one spoke, and after a time ho continued; "Had a case right my own family, and I know how hard it is." "Some of your children go to the bad?" I asked. "No, not exactly. You see, I lived down in Texas, and one day me an' a Comanche Injun went on a diunk together. We was pards. aud 1 wouldn’t hev hurt him for a thousand dollars, JVe got into a row when drunk, and I hit him and broke his neck.” "And that made trouble?" "Heap of trouble.

Jim, you've got to take my place, and I wan t to hear that you died game ’ "'Dad, I’ll see you hung* fust!’ replied that fliia! son o’ mine, and he went on to add that he’d be dog goned to nuthin’ nor nobody if he’d be roasted to let me or anybody else out of a scrape He even said if 1 hadn’t got drunk there would hev boen no accident, and advised me to prepare for the warm weather of tbe other world. It is needless to tell you that sic i bassness and ongratitude shattered my very soul. I never did forgo e Jim, even when he cum to die." "But you weren’t killed." I observed. "No. I got out of it by givln' ’em a hoss and a keg of whisker, but the way that that air Jim of mine bobbed up and showed his sellishness and disrespect broke me in two, and I hev’nt never been on my feet since." "Going Down to Mary’s.” He was a queer old man who boarded the train at a small station in Western New York, says the New Y'ork Sun. Two young men. who were probably his sous, brought him to the steps of the car and helpea him on, und as he entered we saw that he leaned heavily on a cane and was very feeble. ‘The children kept at me till I had to promise to go,” he said as he sat down. "Hain’t bin down to Mary's in five years, and I’ve got so old I dasn’t wait any longer. It’s purty tough on an old man like me, but I want to see Mary and the grandchildren." •‘I take it you are going to spend Thanksgiv ing with your daughter," remarked the man on the seat ahead. “That's it. Mary's my oldest gal. Got five of ’em, and all married off. She lives down at a visit. Mary was alius a good gal, and she married a good man. You’ll tell me when we git there, won’t you?” "O, yes.” "’Cause they’ll all be thereat the depot to meet mo. My son Steve writ that I was com ing.” He had about forty miles to go. and when we passed the first three or four stations he was auxious for fear that he would be carried by tbe right one. After that he leaned over on the window and fell asleep Just before the traiu arrived at the man who had spoken to him turned about and said: "Come, grandpa, you get off here." The old man did not move and the stranger arose and shooK his arm aud said: “Wake up, grandpa! This is your station, and Mary aud the children are waiting. Come, now." But he spoke to the dead. The oM man had died whi e he slept- passed away so peacefully, that not a line of his face had changed. And we were yet stunned and grieving when Mary and her husband and three happy children came hurrying into the car and shouted: "Here he is. Here's our grandpa come to spend Thanksgiving j” But he was with his God. Satisfied the Spook. A casual reading of the report of the com mittee on apparitions and haunted houses, says the New York Star, appointed by the American branch of the London Society for Psychial Re search, interested me sufficiently to propound to two members ot my own household the questions therein setfo.-th. A fresh faced girl, born in America, of good Irish parentage, and trained to the age of 15 inthe public schools of New York, stated her emphatic belief in ghosts. She had never hod an hallucination of any sort—visual or tactile—nor any odd ex perience which appealed merely to the auditory nerves. She was as normal in her scope as the most rigid materialist could desire. "Indeed, sir. it is little of the sort 1 have known myself," replied the second witness, In answer to the printed question of the august committee, “It's mostly the old |ioople who tells the stories at home, and it’s ourselves as listen. Lights and suoh I've seen, to be sure; and a wild talk of I-atln at the crossroads by the ghost of a man of learning, and me a-wait ing there for me brother one night, and a friend with me. a farmer's daughter, well to do.

Aye; they’ll lie still in the grave if they ’re put in tho spot they've ha l a ltkiug for," she responded, the commit tee s question being again pressed upon her in easily digested fragments. "But try them w here they've no wish to be, an’ it’s like you'll see strange sights." Tim woman's eves grew dark and mysterious, and her rich Irish voice thrilled with honest feeling. ‘There wus a case of the kind in me own neigli hnrhood, in the old country, and me father knowing to it by way of his own eyee. Savon times a man's coffin rir out of tho grave, and walked to the door of them as had the right to bury him where he wanted to be; and seven tlim* the coffin knocked on tho door, to let them know ot lie oitouy lying.

Wood of F.l Paso, lex , recently. "The farm was not large as some larms go in Mexico, but it was, to ns ■ a slang phrase, a ‘stunner.’ I don’t think the mind of man could imagine a vegetable product th t could not be produced on that farm. At any rate. [ saw growing there coffee; sugar rle ?ri potatoes, rye, wheat, oat*, corn, berries! cabbage, tomat-xis, apples, bananas, cocoa, figs, cocheneal and a dozen other products. On the upper end of this farm you could find gold, sil ver, sapphires, onyx and other precious stones. Some of these articles were not produced in quantities large enough to pay to market them, but they were all found there, and all at the service of the owner of the land. Oh, 1 suppose the farm contained 10,000 or 20 000 acres of land, but it extended through all temperatures and a 1 e.evations.” Miss Patxisb Hall, according to report, is growing gloomy and morose, says the New York World. Her weight increases despite every effort on her part, and the tension on some of her stage costumes is said to have reached an a arming point. When she was set tled In New York and at the Casino she man aged to keep ner superabundance of adipose tissue pretty well in hand by constant nicycle exere so.

Iu opposition to this rest anrant waiters may be cited. They are on their feet and move about twelve or fourteen hours a day. Indeed, in some of the more pretentious restaurants the waiters are employed for even longer periods. They are nevertheless men of corpulent and flabby outlines, and many of the most industri ous of them are bulky to a point verging on burlesque. The most fantastic story told is that of the strange and slow suicide of Baron Bela Olnyi, at Pesth, in the year of 1875. The baron w-as sup posed to he very wealthy. He had a wife and six children. He lost his money in speculat on, but this was not known. He went to Paris and insured his life for 100,000 gullden each in five companies. He returned to Pesth, and his habits began to change He absented himself from home for long periods ©very day. The picture of health, he began to droop and pine away. In ten months he died of what the doc tors called galloping consumption. The insur ance compauies were suspicious, and their de tectives unearthed a most wonderful p’o:. The nobleman was discovered to have hired a small room in a remote and mean portion of the city. It was broken into and found to be furnished with a comfortable sofa, a table, two chairs and two chests. In one of these was found a com fortable dressing gown, a pair of loose Turkish trousers, a fez, and a dozen of long pipes. In the other was found about 200 strong Havana cigars and a half pound of common smoki: g tobacco. From the wrappers found in the bot tom of the chest it would appear that in less than eight months the nobleman had smoked about- 3,500 cigars and about one hundred pounds of smokmg tobacco, having deliberately poisoned himself with nicotine. Minnehaha, S. D., has just finished a now court house at a cost of 8125,000. Over 810,000 worth of vaults were ordered in, an l recently the company making the contract was notified that the sales could not be accepted. The un derstanding was that no one could open the vaults unless they had the combination or was an expert at safe blowing. Last week Edward H. Saunders, a plumber, not over 17 years old, entered the county clerk’s office while the clerk was endeavoring to open one of the new vaults. The combination had been lost, and finally the clerk gave up the job. Young Saunders, who was standing by, said he could open it, County Commissioner McKee offered to give Saunders $lO if he could open the safe. The proposition was accepted. The young lad placed his ear to the door, listened to the fall of the tumblers, and in a few moments the door swung open. Kaunhei-s was turned out of the room and the combination was changed. Another trial was given the young genius and again the door flew opeu. The chairman of the county commis sioners has informed the safe company that their safes would not be accepted, and awaited their further orders. Saunders has since opened a vault of the Hall mak- iu one of the leading banks of the city as easily as if he knew' the combination. In one of the letters that passed between the commissioners and the safe com pany the latter agree to forfeit SIO,OOO if the lad can open any vault without first knowing toe combination. It is a fact to be remarked in the social his tory of the royal families of Europe at the present day, that the young princes and prin cesses of the present marriageable generation are not getting married with any degree of rapidity, writes Lucy Hamilton Hooper from Paris. That very active sovereign, the Em peror of Germany, has indeed settled two of his sisters in life, but the bethrotbal of the third, the Princess Margaret, seems to present some unfors°en points of difficulty It is in deed an open secret that her imperial brother has don© his best to bring about a match be tween his youngest and only unmarried sister and the Prince of Naples, the Crown Prince of Italy. It would be a suitable union in many re spects, The princess is just three years younger tuan the Prince of Naples, who is now 21. She was the goddaughter of his mother. Queen Mar gherita. And. above all. there are no close ties of consanguity to make such a union unadvisa ble. But a serious question interposes to pre vent the marriage; it is that of religion. The princess is a Protestant, and in spite of the dis sensions between the sovereign of Italy and the Pope, the former is, and must a! ways be, of the Catholic faith. Ihe Princess Margaret would lie called upon to become a Cathclic, and to such a change of religion on the part of his sister the Emperor William is steadfastly op posed. Hence there is little or no prospect of her becoming Crown Princess of Italy. There Is, t©o, it is whis]iered. another obstacle in the way in the shape of ardent attachment conceived by the prince for hU young widowed aunt by mar rlage and first cousin by blood, the Princess Letitla Bonaparte, wife of the late Prin e Amadeus. She is three vars his senior.it is true, but is a fine looking, well-developed young woman, and such a match would be far more suitable for her than was that marriage, so altogether shocking to Anglo-Saxon ideas, that uuited her to tier own unc e. Another curious fact to 1* noted on glancing through the annals of lCuroiieaii royalty is the prepon deri nee of feminine influence and the import ance of the child element iu its circles. To two reigning royal ladies—yueen Victoria and tbo Vneen Kegent Christina of Spain -a third has just been added In the |ieniou of the Queu Re g’nt Emms of Holland.
