What a Cowl
Boston Post
The followirg is vouched for by a brother
editor, and notwitlisianding his general
rsputation for veracity is. without doubt,
true. An elderly and well-known gentle
man ol Boston, who. while lie likes to sit
at the eott'dvial board, will not touch any-
thing spiritnoos, devoting all hit attention
to tbs lacteal fluid, was Invited oat a feW
nigbti ago by a party of chuice spirits. A
bugs milk punch had. however, been pre
pared for him, and when be was naked
what beverage he would prefer, hi* reply
wss as usual: "Well, I gueii i’ll take a
little milk.” The punch was brought, and
’ all eyes were turned toward him to note
the eflect. Raising the glass be took a alp,
and then another; at the third, however,
he drained the tumbler, smacked hie lips,
and looking loving at the empty glass,
observed: “Greet Cusar! whataeow!"
Let us Drop the Trumpet. ,
New York Tribune.
The use ot the speaking trumpets at fires
was abandoned soon after the volunteer
department went out of existence. When
every alarm called out from a dozen to
twenty companies and large crowds of
rival firemen tilled a street in front of a
burning bnllaing there wa, so much noise
and the confusion was so great that the
com mending officers conld not make them-
selves heard without the aid of trumpets.
The sound of the trumpets added to the
display and excitement and in a fight be
tween rirsi companies the trumpets were
effective weapons. Strict discipline in the
present department baa made the speak
ing trumpet useless. Now trumpets are
used only et parades aa symbola of au
thority.
Free Trada Wreckers.
New Orleans Picayune.
With everything In favor of the Democ
racy and apparently nothing to interrupt
the current of smooth success which has
been running more rapidly every year
since 1880, with the governors of twenty-
ttve States and the legislatures of twenty-
two, witli almost 200 representatives In the
popular branch of the Congress. the Dem
ocratic party entered the year 1884 under
the happiest auspieea. The raah ebulli
tion, of the free traders in Congresa
turned the tide in five months so com
pletely that almost every hope of electing
a Democratic Fresident had vanlahed
when the national conventions met. It
was only the wisdom of the national Dem-
ocracr in checking the drift of the party’s
reputation, in hatting the party’s foolish
leaders and in glv’ng plain pledges to the
laboring people regarding the party’s pur
poses and future legislative conduct which
saved the candidate, from the greatest
wreck ot our electoral history, and enabled
them to barely squeeze into the exccntiye
department by a popular plurality of about
75,000in an a,(legate ol a little leas than
10,000,000 votes,
