So there the matter stands. It is proposed, however, by some of the leading Grant politicians who wish to hold on to their money making of fices through this and another term, to make an organized effort to in duce their leader to give to their un ited advice that heed which he refu ses to individuals, and, in the event of failure, which they anticipate, to subscribe and present to him the amount of his extra salary, 8100,000, upon the receipt of which it has been obliquely hinted to some of them, he would listen to reason,— condemn the salary bill, indignantly refuse the increase voted him, and otherwise adopt the magnanimous and patriotic course advised, the propriety of which is not now clear to him.

I heard it stated authoritively in the ante-room of the White House, this morning, that many influential members of the Kansas legislature are working to secure the nomina tion of Ex-Senator Pomeroy for the seat in the U. S. Senate, made vacant by the resignation of Caldwell. Pom eroy was remarkable for his industry while in the Senate, and was person ally popular alike with his fellow- Senators and the people.

In his “ Traits of Jour nalism,” he tells the following: “ One day we had an advertisement of the Columbus Commercial C ol lege, and the foreman came to mo and told me there must be au editor ial notice of it. My time was short. The forms were waiting and I wrote straightway: ‘The Columbus Com mercial College is an excellent and well-deserving institution. The ad» vertisement appears in another col umn.’ I sent it to the proof-reader and went home. I got up late the next day, and the edition hud all been mailed before I saw it. 1*00 can imagine the perfectly amiable state of feeling when I read:- ‘The Columbus Commercial College is an excellent and hell - deserving insti tution.’ Yon can’t believe it. but to this day the bill for that advertise ment is running.” “ S how H im the D oor .”— When a phrase gets to bo an idiom , or a piecd of slang, they faro hard sometimes who happen to use it according to grammar. The Greenup (Ky.) In dependent tells this: Our old friond, Mr. Willis Love lace, one day last week called at the depot in this place for a door that had been shipped to him. The agent spoke to an employe, who evidently had not been in the business long, telling him to show Mr. Lovelace the door. They both proceeded into the large wareroom adjacent to the passenger depot, where tho young man made some very active efforts toward pntting the old gentleman out of the door on the railroad track, but the noise occasioned called the agent who explained tho misunderstand ing. _______ | J; ________ A Mrs. Mislap, whoso husband is in the Denver jail for robbery, took him a roast chicken in which were concealed a knife, a loaded pistol and a bank note for $50, together \Vith a letter directing the prisoner where to look for further supplies when he should escape. The “ Stuffing” was taken out of that chicken befbie Mis- lap got it, and Mrs Mislap was ‘stuf- fed" into the jail. A beautiful young girl was mar ried in San Francisco last week, and at the conclusion of tho marriage ceremony she turned to her husband and said, “ George, kiss me, I am dy ing.” The husband complied with the request, and at that moment the young bride fell dead to the floor. Dr. Hayes gives it as his opinion that Captain Hall, the Arotic explor er, was killed by his crew who muti nied, bnt this is not clear. The P o laris penetrated into tho north re gions over two hundred miles farth er than any human boing- dr ship had ever gone before,. C ol . E. J. C. Kewen, of Los An gelos, has on his place four thousand semi-tropical fruit trees of all kinds. Many of them are already in bearing. He expects in five years to bo in re ceipt of an annual net income from these trees of 850,000. A Louisville papier tells its readers that the sidewalks in that city abound in boles “ the size of a lady’s foot,” and in another column sayB that a boy six years old fell into one of them. A celebrated wit was asked why he did not marry a young lady to whom he was much attached. “ I know no j reason,” replied he “ except the great j regard we have for each other.” The young poet who went about sighing for “ an angle in the honse,” married recently, and now he sighs more than ever. a .
