Thu Mousing News wishes that the Now fear will be a happy and prosperous one !or all Its patrons and friends. There is no doubt that Gov. Hill is a ihrewd political manager. His success in iefeating the efforts of the republicans to fet control of the New York legislature (hows his skill in that respect. By far the most energetic criminal thus far reported bolds forth in the Ohio town of Dayton. After stealing *20,000 worth of liamouds he escaped thre3 times in one day. Such activity was bound to sucoeod. So it is not very surprising to learn that he has aot been recaptured since his last break away. Why that crank should have wanted Vanderbilt’s brain is not by any means Clear. Had he got it he probably would not have known how to use it. It would have been fro him somewhat like anew patent lock without a koy. Evidently he is aot accustomed to handle so much brain or he would not boa cran k. When passing through Pittsburg the other day Gov. Campbell frankly declared bis preference for Grover Cleveland as tbs next democratic presidential candidate and bluntly pronounced Gov. Dave Hill "a trickster." Clearly the governor of Ohio and the governor of New York are not on the amiable footing of friendliness that once existed between the governor of North Carolina and the governor of South Caro lina. Friends of Candidate Dalzell aro hoping bard and expressing the opinion that their man will manage to crowd the sanguine and silent Dictator Quay out of his senatorial seat. Indeed they are going after it with Bueh a rush of enthusiasm that Dictator Quay finds It noccessary to hep out bud hus tle to hold his own against them. Beside bolding his own ho has also to hold on to what he got from tho state of Pennsylvania In various shrewd ways. Quite a number of the relatives of some eighteen or twenty Virginians and Ken tuckians whom Murderer Talton Hall took occasion to lay out at one time or another In the course of his rather eventful career appear somewhat eager to see the fatally sure-handed slayer of their kinsmen. Ap parently they desire Mr. Hall’s blood. The, are manifestly impatient to scrutinize the color of it. Should they imbibe any further excitement they may oonclude to dispeus • with the usual formalities of dilatory legal proceedings and a spectacular array f counsel preceded by the customary luxuri ous idleness and high living garnished with dainty bouquets that have lately become the peculiar perquisites of the particularly atro oiouß modern murderer. Such indecent haste would probably prove distasteful to Mr. Hall. Cleveland and the Nomination. The New York IForM of Wednesday . publishes an unusually long editorial artiale | reviewing the political career of Mr. Cleve i land. It calls attention to what It const i -1 ers his achievements and his mistakes, atnl | the effect of them, its object being to raise i the qu-sti >n of fc is changes forgetting the I next presidential nomination of his party. It expresses no opinion as to whether he will be Dominated or cot. It assumes that he will he the nominee if be gets the New York delegation to the national con vention. It says, however, that it is far from cer tain that he will get that delegation. He has a strong following to New York, but he Is uot a favorite with those who control the party organization and name the delega tion. If the seatiineut of the party in New York was nearly unanimous in his favor the politicians would bow to the popular will and accept him, but, according to tho World , such is not the case. There is very strong opposition to him. Tbo World also says that if the sentiment in other parts of the country overwhelm ingly demanded Mr. Cleveland’s nomina tion the New York democracy would wheel Into line and give him its support, but it is vet to be determined how strong a hold he has upon bis party outside of New York. There is no doubt that Mr. Cleveland is the most popular leader of his party. Un like other ex-Presidents he has not dropped into comparative obscurity. That fact alone shows that he is no ordinary states man. He is not a skillful politician, and he does not attempt to uso any of the means Avhich the politician employs to achieve sue ess. His popularity with the masses is duo wholly to the belief in his integrity and sincerity and his evident purpose to do what he believes to be 1 ight and for the best in terests of tho people. He is not as popular in the south and west as be was he tore he wrote his letter against tho free coinage of silver, and yet that letter has bad a marked influence upon the country. Tho sorfrment in favor of the free coinage of silver is not nearly os strong as it was, and that It is not will become ap parent. when the silver question is brought before the House. Thinkiug democrats In all parts of tho country are beginning to see that the Democratic party could not carry the next presidential election with a platform favor ing free silver coinage. Neither New York nor any other eastern state would vote for free silver coinage, and without nssistance in the east the democrats could not be victorious. And the probability of carrying western states that have heretofore been republican would hardly be worth considering. In Ohio last fall tho republicans took n posl tiou squarely against free silver coinage, and yet they oarried the state by 20,000 ma jority. Mr. Cleveland may have made a mistake so far as his own prospects aro concerned when he wrote his silvor letter, but he made no mistake so far as his party is concerned. The World does not think Mr. Cleveland is as popular os be was a month ago. If the truth oould be discovered it would probably appear that the World Is mis taken. There may bo more politicians against him now than before tho speaker ship contest was settled, hut it is safe to say there has been no noticeable change In the sentiment of the people with regard to him. When the time oomes for the masses of the democracy to speak Mr. Cleveland’s strength will surprise those who have per mitted themselves to be too greatly influ enced by what the politicians say. Reckless Railroading. Such a aucoos' ion of disastrous accidents on the New York Central railway has lately fallowed dose in the wake of one an other that the road really seems to bo uuder the bau of some mysterious fatality or else it is tho victim of seme subtle scheme of vindlotivo spite. It scarcely soems creditable that any in dustrial organization of so thorough a character and long a standing as this road could Jbe subjected to so many successive disasters at short intervals as a result of mere coincidence' or unavoidable mishap. Therefore the surmise of oovert design is by no means unreasonable. But the question that, naturally follows such a conjecture is essentially as to the possible identity of the mysterious insti gators of tnese malignant ntrooities. Whether suoh an hypothesis nas in it the merit of probability or not it is at least worthy of a searching inquiry and that should he immediately given it. Human life is far too preoious to be imperiled merely to gratify the malice of any one. Nor should it tie jeopardized through the willful carelessness of those whoso duty re quires them to protect it. Manifestly that brakeman caused the death of all those uufortunate people at Hastings station by tho grossest of careless ness or by deliberate design. In either event it appears that his superiors nre indi rectly responsible to the extent of contribu tory negligence In not looking after tbe man more closely. Contrary to common expectation Gov. Russell has Anally refused to pardon Burglar Dunlap from the Massachusetts penitentiary on account of his alleged in voluntary oompHcity to the great North ampton bank robbery. Very likely tho governor is quite right. For years a woman has been systematically advertising her business of making some sort of an alleged face bleach for women by making capital of her persistent efforts to release her former husband aud this Dunlap from the Massachusetts penitentiary. Every gov ernor of the state for the past dozen years has in turn been importuned. Then she would get herself interviewed by the news papers and turn the notoriety thus acquired to practical account by unloading a lot of her cosmetic upon the morbidly curions women who flocked to see her. In this way she has managed to make quite a fortune by tolling tbe same old yarn over and over with slight variations. But thare was ap parently nothing even in her own statements to warrant executive clemency. There Is nothing mean about Bello Bilton. After the cafe ehantante married Lord Dunlo and the young man’s father failed to separate them the first anxiety of the young peer on his accession to the earldom of Clancarty was to have an heir. With her usual amiable liberality tho music hall countess has generously responded by pre senting her husband with a pair of heirs. Presumably the earl now bas nothing to complain of. Quay is talking out boldly in favor of Hlaine. 'flint is particularly astouuding for the reason that the Pennsylvania sen ator doesn’t usually talk at all. But liar rison is taking his revenge by dropping the heads of Quay’s friends into the official basket with a pretty steady pluak. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 1892. All Berene Again. The payment of tbo dividends of the Geor gia Central and of the Southwestern bas t een resumed, acd it is safe to say that ail the Central’s dividends and interest obliga tions that ai e now due will be paid promptly. It Is to be regretted that there was a stop page to their payment ticcause it tends to lessen e. nlidence In the purpose of the Rich mond and Danville to pay them in the fut ure. But the cause of the stoppage being explained and the strong probability that j the difficulty that caused the stoppage will ! be adjusted, there is no good reason for tbfnklng that the Richmond and Danville will not comply with the terms of the lease by which it controls the Contra!. But the action of the Richmond and Dan ville in attempting to compel tbe Central to j accept its terms of settlement of their dif j feronces by a method that was calculated to greatly injure the Central's securities will hardly tend fro make that company popular in Georgia. It know, or ought to have known, just what the obligations of tbe Central were which it assumed when it took possession of the Central’s properties, and it ought to have had an understanding with respect to them at that time. If it did Dot intend to pay them it ought to have said so at once. The course it pursued was too much like the “stand and deliver” policy. Now that the dividend question is out of the way it is probable that the scheme for the reorganization of the Richmond Ter minal properties will be proceeded with. Mr. Olcott has appointed his oommittee, and has called upon stockholders for prox ies with which to represent them at any meetings which may be held. It is inti mated that the committee will be ready to draft a plan for reorganization about Jan. 6. The interested parties appear to have a good deal of confidence in God. Thomas’ ability to financier the Terminal out of its difficulties. They will be gratified if they find the outcome justifies their confidence. A Little Set-back for Hill. Some time ago the Jackson Club of Co lumbus, 0., decided to havo a banquet on the anniversary of the battle of New Or leans. Mr. Cleveland has a groat many friends In Columbus and so has Gov. Hill. The friends of Mr. Cleveland got the im pression somehow or other that the friends of Gov. Hill intended to turn the banquet into a Hill boom, and a week ago last Tues day night, when many of Gov. Hill’s friends were absent, the club adopted resolutions which wore uncomplimentary to Gov. Hill. This action caused a good deal of bad feeling among the members, and last Tues day evening Gov. Hill’s friends undertook to have the resolutions expunged from the record. There was a very lively discussion and an exhibition of a great deal of feeling. The frleadß of Gov. Hill, however, were not able to carry out their purpose. They refused to submit peacefully to their defeat and left the hall of the club. It looks as if this Oleveland-Hill con troversy would greatly weaken, if not de stroy, the club. It Is greatly to be re* grottod that such a controversy was started. While It la hardly probable that tt will ex tend to the other clubs, still, there Is danger of its doing so. In order to Insure the Democratic party suooess in the approaching national contest it is necessary that there shall be harmony in the party. The success of the party should be regarded as of much greater im portance than the success of any presiden tial candidate. It is to be expected, of course, that democrats wiil differ as to who should be the party's candidate for Presi dent, but there is no reason why their dif ferences should be carried to the length of breaking up political clnbs ana destroying party harmony. Kansans aro beginning talk strongly of giving the seuatorship to the editor of the Topeka Capitol. Petitions for the purpose of influencing Gov. Humphrey to that end are said to be pouring in upon the executive from all over the atato. Evidently'Edithy Hudson is a very popular man in spite of hi* consistent opposition to the Jerry Simpson crowd. Bat Gov. Humphrey is n somewhat head-strong man and there is no question about the strong ‘ ’pull” of the Atchinßon, Topeka and Santa Fe railway iu the coun cils of the Republican party of the state. Since it was Ingalls who rescued George R. Peck from the obscurity of a country lawyer and made him counsel of that great enterprise it is a trifle more than possible that the attorney may turn all the influence that he and his road oan command in favor of the irridasent statesman who is just now out of a job. Beside tlvo obligation he owes iDgalls Counsel Peck could scaroelv afford to throw up a salary of $15,000 a yoar on a life tenure for a temporary senatorship at fs.OOO a year. Therefore ho is not likely to stand In the way himself. Present appear ances tudicate that the very Idea of seeing suoh a good oifioe ns that lying around loose in Kansas is going to raise such an ex citement as will involve every republican in the state in a red-hot tussle. It was a remarkable body of men which filled the association hall in the Brooklyn Young Men’s Christian Association build ing Tuesday night last. Presidents and professors of the leadiug colleges and uni versities of the eastern states rnado up the bulk of the gathering and did nil the talk ing. There was also a conspicuous mi nority composed of prominent members of their alumni. This meeting had boon ad vertised os a “college conference.” Its an nounced purpose was to discuss “higher education” and by a comparison of the views of all to endeavor t o enlarge the scope of each institution. Representatives of many colleges told of the work being done by their particular alma tnater. Al though the subjects of the addresses were varied the general tone was harmoniously unitod—an earnest desire for a broader and more liberal system of collegiate education and the training of the body as well as the mind. Among the speakers were Presi dent Gates of Amherst, President Raymond of Wesleyan, President Andrews ot Brown and Prof. Fisher of Yale. It was such au aggregation of good grammar as would probably have made Elder Editorial Freak Shepard feel lonesome and in the wrong street. Intelligence comes from Nashville to the effect that the convicts are to be returned to the mining region at once In charge of nearly 100 state troops. This is said to have augment ed the anger of the laborers and increased their determination to fight convict labor to the bitter end. Many miners are reported to have quit work. They are thought to bs engaged in formulating plans to meet the state convicts in a more forcible way than ever. But they are simply challenging dis aster. Whatever the law may be no state can afford to have its statutes thus openly defied and set at naught; PERSONAL. Capt. J. \Y.

Miss Mitchell, daughter of Senator Mitchell of Oregon, says that her marriage to the Due de la Kuchefouuald will probably take place in February. Oliver Wendell Holmes has decided to un dertake no more literary work for the present. He is reported to have said he was willing to give the younger brains a chance.

John Strange Winter has been made presi dent of the woman writers of London. When it is considered that her real name is Mrs. Btan nard, the election does not seem so strange an affair after all.

Make It Strictly a “Msdiurn.” From the Providence Journal (lnd,). Business men will by and by wake up to tho fact that there Is nearly as much injury threat ened to our finances by the British gold mono metallic politician as by the Colorado free sli ver coinage advocate. Still They Bat on Sherman. From the Indtanapo Us Sentinel ( Dem .). John Sherman still has the inside in tho race for the Ohio senatorship, and from present In dications will pass under the wire an easy win ner. The meteorological conditions have to be exceedingly frigid when this genial old states man "gets left." Dallying With a Deficit. From the Kansas City Times (Dem.). It is feared that Secretary Foster will meet with the fate which overtook Folger, Manning and Windotn, his predecessors. if a treasury overflowing with a surplus was too hard for them to mauage. It is certainly a more severe strain to keep up increased expenditure with a deficit caused by a deceased income. Cleveland Surely the Choice. From the Milnaukee Journal Unil.). No one expects that the democratic national convention will nominate any other man than G rover Cleveland Of course he has opposition within the party, but he is the candidate of the people. There is no doubt of it. He may not be nominated by acclamation, but there will be praotlcallv no contest. This Arm belief In the outcome of the convention is based upon the fact that the democrats of the country demand the nomination of Cleveland. The Democratic party is clearly stronger than any machine element within it. The reverse is true of the Republican party, especially at this juncture. Caused t?ie Stort Van to Coufirh. “Tbis,’*saiJ the tall man contemplatively. **appears to b*, at so far a§ New Y< rit city i* concerned, an a?e of abbreviations Everything la abbreviated, even time, and I may hat that Is toe cue especially In the i*y m f. nt ® Is always too short." “May 1 ask," said the abort man. “what has tugveated to you this trend of thought?" ‘Tiiat," said the tall man. and he pointed t-o the advertisement of a theater on which, avers tLe New York Herald , after the canuM of the play and the star, was this mysterious an nouncement: ‘Ky’ga Mats. Wed. Pat.” There,” went on tne tall man, “Is a sample or one ttyle of abbreviations. I cannot but think that that advertisement must bj a source of weanm-ss to the for*dro?r who is stu lying our language and wh > attempts, as all of tr.eui do, to mad the signs as he walks along tbo street. How in the wond is he to know that it means that perf rmances are given in the even ing and at Wednesday and Saturday matinees. It certainly does not say so.” ’That’s so,” said, the short man. “At the opera one night. I remember, a country man and his wife -at behind me. The names of the ballet cancers were printed on the bill as ‘Mila.’ Ho-aml ao. The countryman, after reading the bill. ayg to uis wife " This Is fnnny, Mary; the front names of all base gals is Milly.’ “ "Yea,'’ said the tail nan, * It’s very mislead ing. But it’s not only words that are abbre viated. Nearly everything is abbreviated. Take the patience of my landlord, for Instance; that is abbreviated. And I whs pained to notice this morning that the trousers of my youngest son are abbreviated. Everything, in fact, seems to #i abbreviated, except my appetite.” He sighed. “Cheer up," said the short man “I’ll cough.” They rose from their seuts in the lobby of the hovel and walked toward the doors, on one of which was the word “pull” and on the other the word “push ” With one accord they pushed on the pull-door and then pulled on the push-door. Both swore, tried it again, suoceeded and dis appeared. Betting Againat a Sure Thing’. The barber had cut the hair of the man in the chair without saying a word, gasps the Chicago Daily Tribune , and looked as if he were about to call out “next” when the inan said: “I’ll take a shave.” Tho barber shaved him In silence and when he had finished the operation the customer spoke again: “Sea foam.” For the next five or ten minutes the barber was occupied In applying and removing the soa foam, and he preserved the same stony silence. "Now I’ll have iny whiskers trimmed.” This operation was performed and still tho operator spoke not. “You may curl my mustache.” This was done, but not a woru passed the lips of the artist. “Do you pull teeth?” inquired the customer. The barber shook his head. Then the customer got out of his chair. As he paid the bill (TO cents t to the man behind tho cigar case he remarked in a casual way that that barber talked less than auy barber he had ever seen. “Talk?” said the man behind the cigar case; “ho talk? He’p a mute. He lost his speech wh*n ho was a boy. He has spoken a word for sixteen years.” “All I’ve got to say about it.” groaned the man, as ho put his rocket book back where it belouged, “is that it 11 be sixteen years before I make another bet with the clerk of that hofc*l round the corner. I don’t car© so much for the $3 he’s beat me out of, but I say it’s a darned shamo to make a man waste 70 cents besides when you’ve got a nead clinch on him.” And he put on his hat and overcoat and walked out with a heavy dragging step. More Experiments With Nature. “I don’t know whether to believe this or not,” said Swayback to the Oreensburg Sparks Snooper. “What is It?” 1 ‘lt’s about a man named Culver, who lives in Kansas. It says ho has prorogatel a plant he calls the potomato thatlgrows|putatoea under the ground in the usual style aui boars tomatoes on the vine at the surface. What do you think of that?” “I'm inclined to beHeve the story.” “Well. I don’t believe a word of It.” “I do, and I base it on my own experience in plant propagation.” “Waal experience Is that?” “Well, sir, once 1 experimented a long time with egg plants. I manured them liberally with lime and albumen until 1 got those plants bearing eggs which could not be distinguished from the gonulne product of the hen, sir.” “Why did you quit the business?

It would pav too well.” “How pay too well?” “It was just this way: All around me lived a lot of poultry risers who gut big prices for their eggs. Well, sir. they were so Jealous of my success and so afraid that my egg plant would ruin their business that they hired a profes sional burglar to destroy my plants one dark night by pulling up by the roots. That discouraged me so that I never had any heart to resume my experiments. I tell you, sir, ge nius has no show in this country when it threat ens to collide with somo one’s vested rights.” And Snooper went in search of an eggnog made with real eggs.

Mr. I , a clergyman, had accepted an in vitation to talk to the patients of an insane asylum, says 7ld-Rite. In his address he said he tried to talk on subjects they could graep readily, using language that was simple. One of the subjects treated was that of the mothers who threw their children into the flanges, thinking they were appeasing the wrath of the gods. During his talk about this Hr. L noticed ene of his congregation, a man who had his eyes riveted upon him. The man’s face was u study. His attitude was so direot and o fiendish that it annoyed the speaker. After the discourse Mr. L went among the patients. He met the man with the glaring eyes and took his hand The minister told him he had noticed his close attention to some port lour of the sermon. "I noticed,’ said Mr. L , "that you were particularly Inter ested when I spoke about the mothers throwing their babies into the River Ganges. I would like to know, my good fellow, what was passing through your mind while 1 was talking on this subject y The maniac glared again at the preaoher and replied: “I was wondering why your mother didn't throw you in.” Little Mabel (3 years old) suddenly hurst out crying at tbe dinner table. “Why Mabel," said her mother, “what is the mat: ter?" "O,” whined Mabel, “my teef trot on my tongue." —Philadelphia Kecord. BAKING BOWIIEH. jjjK jp* Powder Used in Millions of Homes— 40 .Years the Standard. FLAVORING EXTRACTS. Standard Excellence.

Formerly Alpine rosea grew at an altitude of 7,000 feet. Now they are seldom found higher than 6.900 feet, and are at that flight stunted. Beeches have gone down to 1.900 feet. Various berries which once flour ished 7,500 feet above sea level, do not grow in higher altitudes now than 6,800 feet. Italy, a country which furnishes England with so large supply of organ-grinders, has a national law by which the whole itinerant class, whether peddler, rag merchaut, shoeblack or musician, together with a list of others, are re quired to enter their names on a register, and to obtain a certificate from the police. Regis tration may be refused to young persons and to suspected characters. The quickest bridge building on record was done by an engineer named Dredge who, In eight days, put an iron span across the Black water in Tyrone county, Ireland. It was §ev en'r-four feet in length. Dredge died before tht popular agitation was begun in Philadel phia for a modern bridge across the Schuylkill at Walnut street. That project was discussed for a quarter of a century. The Schuylkill at this point is deeper than the Bronx and nearly as deep as the Harlem river. Recently as Desk Sergeant Lawler of the Twenty-second street Chicago police station was goiDg home to supper he was told that two young boys had stolen a lot of harness and a horse and were hiding m a barn in the rear of 2907 Wentworth avenue. Breaking into the barn he found Fred Cusing, aged 12 years, who re-* sides at 2,708 Wentworth avenue, and Joseph Keller, aged 18, living at the comer of T wenty fourth street and Stewart avenue, buried in the straw fast asleep. A quantity of harness, the property of Adolph Silver, was recovered. This morning Justice Ulenuon held both boys to the criminal court in SSOO bonds. The boys say that they intended going west to kill Indians and free captive maidens. Lotto before the advent of the white man In California forest fires ragod, and from recent discoveries it is probable that giant trees were thus destroyed, in comparison to which our much lauded sequoias and redwoods of the present are but saplings. In 1- fd Commodore Apetsby Catesby Jones, United States ntivy, established a small sawmill in the Mill vailev for the purpose of getting out lumbar, there being no saw mills in operation on the coast ot the time. A few remnants of this old mill still remain, the locality bring about six miles from sausalita, on tho North Faciflc Coast railway. Close by this mill there can to-day be plainly traced the outline of a tree destroyed uy tire, perhaps ages ego The stump still meas ures fifty two feet in diameter, and from appearance perhaps once measured fully 60 feet. Around this mammoth stump had gr.>wn immense trees, which were cut and used in the saw-mill in 1849 Bioce then a thirl growth has been made, the sight of which would make glad the heart of auy lumberqmn. Tbe stump was measured last week by Edward A. T. Gallagher, the pioneer, who lost his reputa tlon for veracity in lfe-19. when bis description of tho sequoias of California was published in tho eastern papers, in which the statement was made that his employes had driven a wagon and yoke of oxen through a prostrtite tree that was burued hollow, and they would drive for 100 feet and 'gee off" and out through a knot hole. At the same time tbe statement was made that he bad felled a tree 17 feet in diameter and had used the hollow of one that was standing in which to stable thirteen head of horses. “At this writing Memphis contains one of the most distinguished visitors whom she has ever had occasion to entertain," says Ihi Appeal-Avalanche of that city. “This is a gen tleman named Tarlton Hall, who is at present sojourning in the county jail. Mr. Hall was born in Kentucky about twenty-four years ago on the headwaters of Bent creek, according to his own statement. Nothing happened to blm until he was H years old, when he inaugurated the infant Industry ot homicid-. Bince then, it must be acknowledged by the most captions that he has improved his opporMialttes well, and to day he stands without a peer In his ch isen professiou At first he was presumably a little awkward in appropriating human life, but ne has become ‘more deft and graceful every year, and now he can justly lay olaim to being an artist. Mr. Hall informed an Appeal-Avalanche reporter that he had ’ll led mnety-nlue men in the course '■of his life, ffe has deno much to diversify the monoticous existence of tho people of i ennes eee, Kentuoky and Virginia, and be has lent his powerful aid to the establishment of chaste but popular cemeteries in throe states. Some peo ple have concentrated ail their mind and ener gy upon the making of money; some have originated railway systems, and carved tbe'r way to fame and fortune thereby; some have won wealth from tne earth, aud others have achieved greatness in the learned professions. But Mr. . Hall is a self-made homicidal artist' who has won a name for himself by a close at tention to detail, and an ambition to excel all the other people of Ills time. Tbe best test of the sincerity of Ills devotion to his profession is found in the fact that he is to-day a poor inan. Mr. Hall is now wanted in Vlr. gtnia for tbe killing of a policeman, and ho will probably go back there to answer the c arge. 'Ve notice in some quarters a disposi tion to Impugn the veracity of tbe distinguished visitor when ne admits that he has killed ninety nine men. We want it distinctly understood that we are not among those who question the truth of his statement. We have commented upon Mr. Hall’s advent in our midst with all possible delicacy, for we do not desire to sav anything to hurt the feelings of a man who has scattered tombstones hither and yon and can point with pride to ninety-nine epitaphs as a collective monument to his industry. Nobody knows when Mr. Hall may take it into his head to round out a clean 100, and wo rather that ninety-nine innocent persons should perish than that we should be ohoon for the hundredth place. We wish our distinguished guest a suc cessful journey out of the state and a safe arrival in Virginia.” An employe In a grocery establishment was undergoing his examination before entering the army, when the examiner asked him: "What is coffee obtained from?"
