In view of lie fact Unit Mr. Cleveland will for n year at least lie at tho mercy of Sliermnn, Logan, and Edmunds, would it not be well to have Mr. Pasteur coma over and inoculate him with hia anti-hydrophobia vims? As to the attitude of the President and silver coinage, the Atlanta Conatitntion ob serves: "Wo shall offer no captions objec tions if his views prevail.” Happy Mr. Cleveland! Tho suspension will immedi ately proceod. An "Injianny" statesman proposes in case of the death of the President, that the “grand army of the Republic" fill the vacancy. The grond army of tramps, sut lers, wagon drivers and bounty junipers have been making Presidents for the last twenty years. h'ur.nvan Lint desires to bo a strictly business governor, and wants no demonstra tion over his inangnralion on January 1st Virginians will therefore try to express their joy over Mahano'a downfall, on Christmas day, by "blowing of the trumpets and a beat ing of the drums.” Hr some mistake Mr. Garland appointed Ben Hill, in place of Charley, district attor ney. By close spplieatlon and strict atton (ion to business Ben msy be able to get along with the dntio of tho office. But to his always previousness ha has added pro- turbcanco on the now political issue, pro hibition. If the administration has not de cided to take a hand in the business the At torney General might remind this yonng and seolons nisei pie of John Peter St. John that a dead deputy marshul lies in a moun tain gorge. To oivr tho administration a Senate that it can rely on, tho Dumocnitancxt fall muat elect majorities in tho Legislatures of four teen of the twenty-five State, where Senatorial vacancies will oc cur. In that event tho Sente wonld aland: Democrats, 3i); Republicans, 37. The question is now resolved to the single issue whether tho administration will have a hostile Senate behind it for one-half of its full term. The leading politicians do not hesitate to say that tho President is the vi tal factor in scouring a Democratic Senate. Tub Chicago Herald think, that “General Lcgau's book will he a modest little effort. It will trace the rise snd fall of human gov- irauiinls, explain the theory of tho sur vival of tho fittest, elucidate the doc trine of evolution, deal with the mighty forces which resulted in tho establishment of tbs American liepnblio' and draw sable the veil of the future in order to reveal to people now on oartb the probable condition of jvoaterity. Tho General bos been prepar ing himself for this groat work ever since lost year, and it U bound.to strike twelve at the tint dip.” IIm* is tho history of an avomgo Senato rial career: "Senator Edmunds baa built him a new residence. He keeps four horses in his stable. Hr liven quietly but expen sively, and is reputed to bo worth half e million dollars. He is- now neering the close of bis third term as a United States Senator. When ho flnt entered the chain ber he was woitb a good deal leas than $70,000. He has had a salary of $->,000 per year ainee ho has been there, and nolmdy accuses him of doing much law business. Half a million dollars! Behind that aum what Kfcr.it. lark! And yet Edmonds is poorer than scores of others who went into the Senate chamber with nothing. The Exodus of the Au-ligm. lint a few days since a United States dep uty marshal, who was thus adding to the fees of n sheriff, was reported to have been killed as he was dragging a little 'noomdiiner through a mountain pass, down on tho Tennessee line. Later reporls aro conflicting ns to whether tho killing took place in Alnbama, Tennessee or Geor gia. It is wrong to kill deputy marshals or any one else, withont good and sufficient cause, but so long os tho government keeps np an excise system, whereby the rich dis tiller may refuse to pay his taxes, snd may eventually swindle the treasury out of mil lions, so long will popular sympathy linger about the. moonshiner of the mountains, who biles his toddy in tho sntne wash pot in which (ho hominy is cooked for his wife and little ones. The slayer in this instance shonld bo ar rested and tried according to tho forms of law. If guilty he should he punished. But is this likely to bo done? The Atlanta Constitution, after describing tho hard specimens in the way of a posse to bo sent out to arrest him, says: They go for revenge. They wlU get It. Why should these men bo sent out for revenge? The law has no revenges. It only accords punishments. Vengeance ia supposed to belong to a higher power than a deputy united States marshal. How is this revenge to be gratified? By killing in nocent men, arresting other innocent men, burning the humble homes of mountaineers and making fugitives of their wives and children? If this notification shall go ont before the avenging squad, perhaps from crags and fastnesses the sharp cracks of squirrel rifles may ho heard, wielded by men who feel that they aro called upon to fight for everything dear to them. If the love of sensationolism has caused the Constitution to attempt to croato some thing out of nothing, Collector Crenshaw should have tho facts immediately made public. If a squad of ruffians and outlaws are to sally forth to murder and tiro for re venge, under the protection of the United States marshals office, possibly the Attor ney-General might be stirred to take stops to countermand the expedition. A Skmatob Haunt, has gathered hi* views together concerning a Federal railroad commission. He says: "I would allow all common carriers to fix their own rotes, but require them to publish by posting them, and under hoary penalties require a strict adherence to them until changed after due sad proper notice of aueh intended change. I would create a commission, which abouhl lie composed of the ablest men in thoooun try, in which agriculture, commerce, rail roads, carriers by water and the legal pro fession should lie represented, and make it the duty of the commission to hear nnd thoroughly investigate oil complaint, and report oouciusiotu to the party complain ing, tho party complained of, and to the government; and if the conclusion is ad verse to the party complained of, and sack party shall fail or rtfusa to porform the judgment of the oommiavion, make it the duty of the commission to report the oase to tho United flutes district attorney of the proper district, who shall institute judicial proceedings to aatoree the judgment of the commission, and mike the finding of facts by the commission prima/dei* evidence of their tenth.” Agents Wanted.

Innocence in tbs I'resence of 2’ertl. Jnst now Jlr. I’nstonr, of Paris, is the moet observed man of the world. Where one man will read tho message of the chief magistrate of the most powerful country, the threats of Bismark, nnd the election returns of England, thousands, we might truthfully say millions, will read of the daily doings and sayings of the French chemist—for he is not even a physician nor surgeon. Universal attention has been attraeted to bis cure nnd preventive of hydrophobia,- for by inoculution be not only proposes to cure the person bitten, bnt to render them impervious for some time to the bites of rabid animals. Day by day people of all ages, sexes and conditions flock to him from all over Eu rope, and America is about to make an uique contribution. Some days since, three children of Newark, N. J., were bit ten by a mad dog. Immediately the move ment was started to raise a puma and send the children to M. Pasteur, who cabled thut be would receive and treat them. Tho necessary funds have bean raised, and the little children are flying aoross the ocean for relief from certain death, accompanied by the prayers of all good poople. This incident, preceding tho start of this momentous journey, will but add interest to it.

Wx find tin. comment in the Atlanta Constitution: "A Luke Erie town tarred and feathered a Toledo reporter who slandered the people. The reporter now waota $25, QUO dam ogee. It wonld have been cheaper to have killed him.” We reepectfuily sug gest that the Conatitntion is painting ont a dangerous method. Suppose Wales Wyn ton, the Constitution's late Macon corres pondent, who so foully slandered the peo ple in the Conatitntion'! columns, had not run away, would it have been cheaper to have killed him rather than defend snitt that might be brought because tar and toothers bod mercifully been applied in stead? despondent; if the heel of the session finds them and their cases in an unsettled condi tion, (hey grow anxious nnd desperate, and tvbcn the last day arrives, and the House adjourns sine die, with nothing done with their claims, thoy look so perfectly wretch ed and crestfallen that tho most unfeeling of humanity can not help but pity them, even if it is known that their claims were not right and just. But many of these poor people have good nnd jast claims against the government, nnd it is discredit able to Congress that they aro not al lowed and paid. This is too great and too libera! a government to refnso to pay rightful claimants just because there is uolatvto enforce collection. Theso just claimants, however, will never receive relief and justice from the government under the present liquidation of claims by Con gress. Their remedy is in a United States Court of Claims, composed of three fair and legal-minded gentlemen. Until this is done, year after year will these poor people drag their life away working up their claims in Congress 'without success. Many of them have already died while their claims were pending, and inapy more will die be fore justice is done for them." Shred* nnd 1’atclieg, Get tlieo to a plumberry.—Louisville Courier- Journal.

A prairie on fire is sight seldom seen by jieopie nt the present time. Jlr. B. 1‘. Gardner, of the county auditor’s office, tells of a thrilling experienco he had not long ago while hunting on the plains of Texas. •‘We left tlio railroad and journeyed into the interior of the great State on horse back," said Jlr. Gardner, “with tho tall waving grass on every side as far as the eye could reach. We saw evidence of small 11 rot from time to timo, but we bad inado up up onr minds that we ace none of the fiery element itself. One Sunday we stopped for tho day at a point about 500 milea from any railroad. We pro ceeded to make ourselves comfortable for the day, for wo were tired and we intchded to take a good rest. After breakfast wo nnd a son, aro at school at Worthing, in stretched ourselves out on our blankets * England. itk the ponies tied n short distance away, and were taking it as easy as we could. All at once we heard a terrible noise like distant thunder, nnd jumping np we saw a sight we shall never forget. The prairie was on fire. For miles and miles, as far os wo could see, the Annies shot up in the air with a'deafening roar. The wind was blowing fresh und the fire was coming toward us with the swift ness of n railroad train. Looking in the opposite direction from the fire there was nothing to bo seen but grass, grass, grass. ‘‘There was no way of escape. Thu roar of the fire became loader ami loader every minute. Birds wentscrenminghy, terrified by the sight and sound, nnd utmost every kind of game a person could think of went veil uell past ns, screaming, hooting, bnrk- og and screeching, curin-'^for nothing but to get ont of tho way of the fire, which was chasing them at a rapid rate, althoagh it was yet many miles away. Onr old guide, who had been around tho prairies all his life, was frightened, much to my surprise. He cast his eye npon the fire nnd then nwny upon the waving sea of grass beyond, and told ns we mnst mount our ponies quickly and ride nwny before ho fire aa fnst as we could. There was a trail nbout ten miles away, ho said, and when we reached that wo would be all right. We mounted onr ponies, bnt I knew well cnonglf we conld not go five miles before the fire would catch ns. Tl-u roaring increased, and it began to get warm. Birds und animals rushed by us more frau'ic than over. An idea struck me. Jumping from my pony I rushed out into the tall grass several hundred feet nnd started a fire. It wont with a whirl and in a minute or two a space of 300 or 4U0 acres hnd been burned Wo worked with will and soon hod onr ponies and effects in the middle of tho bare spot. It was nono too soon, for looking in tho direction of the fire I saw it port nt the point where we had stood a few minutes before, and then it went by ns with n terrific roar. It was ter ribly smoky and hot, but we were not burned to death, as wo would have been if we had followed tho old guide.” A GENUINE RAPHAEL Tile Weekly Telegraph Free.

Seized for Cnstoma—A IMrtnr© With an Kvclltfut History. Chicago Special. A somowhat startling seizure was mode at tbo Calumet Clnb to-day by Inspector Crowley, of tbo custom boose. Ono of Raphael's original oil paintings called “The Virgin and the Book, owned and imported by JL Keillor, of Paris, which was exhibited nt the recent art loan, yeas seized because the duty was not paid. As the value of tho painting is said to be over $10,000 and tbo dnty on snch goods is 3U por cent, tho seizure is no, Binall one, and hut caused qnito aii excitement among tho dub members. Reiffer, prior to 18X3, resided at 13 Boule vard, Jlaloshcrbes, Paris, where bo wus in the art business. He says .that in 1882 a priest came to bis pi tee with a man named Jlonasco, who brought a letter of introduc tion front a prominent merchant Jlonasco said he bail a Raphael worth $I50,OUO, and naked Keiffcr to take charge of it for gale. The latter did so, but conld find no pur chaser at the price demanded. When he re ceived it from Monosco be gave the latter four pictures valued at $8,U1X). Some timo afterwards Jlonasco made a demand for his Raphael. Kciffer refused unless his four paintings or their equiva lent were returned to him. The priest then came to him in tears and declared that the picture had been stolen from the Vatican and mnst be returned at nil hazards. He also said that Keiffo.’s pictures bod been stolen. Keiffer still refused to surrender even when the priest said be could soli it fora large sum to the King of Spain. Finally tho case was taken into court on a replevin suit, snd six months was granted to the priest and Monosea to return tho Keiffer pictures. They failed to do so, and Keiffer, failing in business, cams to thia country November 8, 1883. Ho had ten pieces of baggage containing the Raphael- lie and fifteen water colors, snd claims hia baggage was not searched and no entries wore made Ho settled for a time in Waterloo, la., where bis brother stole the pictnre aud was ea route to New York when arrested, Keiffer then came to Chicago and has sines bod tho picture in his possession. The enstom authorities have for a long timo known that it was in the country, but could not locato it. The panel upon which the pictnre is painted is two feet long and one foot wide. On the back are certificates and souls of various popes and directors of continental muse um*, dating back to 1483; oho a Latin pamphlet, with the pope's seal, giving its h-story and all tbeao are affixed to tha back of the pictnre and attest its genuineness.
