There is nothing unreasonable in the questions suggested by a citi zen of Astoria in another column with respect to difficulties in city matters. Either party should be willing to have the subject brought iuto court now, and fairly tested, and openly explained. The points iat issue must eventually be arbitra ted, and believe that the proper tribunal should be called upon as speedily as possible, to 'determine those questions. Otherwise, the city administration must be at a stand-still, "antfil the dead-lock is 'removed. Let us lawfully know as soon as possible "under which head" we -are to be governed. The attorneys in the case are Judges Bowlby and E. D. Shattuck for plaintiff, and Messrs. Robb & Ful ton for the defendant. We have confidence in the ability of counsel to do the subject justice, and there are some fine points to be deter mined. A. Spleadid Sktist. Capt. A. H. Bogardus finished his task of shooting 6,000 out of a possible 6,200 glass baHls in Gil more's garden, JN"ew York, on the 9h, 3,000 balls having been broken on Wednesday. He began work at 11 a. M. on the 9th, and at 8 o'clock had broken 2,700 balls, miss ing only one ball. His arm had become stiff by pulling the trigger, and his hands blistered by contact with the heated barrels of his gun. In the twenty-eighth hundred he missed two balls, and in the twenty-ninth hundred he failed to shat ter nine balls. . In the last hundred he .scored 99, making a total of 5,087 out of a possible 6,000. He 'then shattered 13 balls, making his score 6,000 out of a possible 6,014. One of the conditions was that he should break 6,000 out of 6,100, and he wagered $506 to $1,000 that he could do it. His shooting against Abe Kleinman resulted in a tie, their -scores being 993. "If ithe republican party had a leader," said -a, very prominent republican hi Washington the other day in conversation, "it might regard itself as certain of victory in 1886. But -it should be a leader who wotfld lea&; who would march forward, instead of backward. -The notion that Gen. Grant is the best man for the party is absurd. His nomination would signify ito the country simply that -the party does not mean to move forward; that it has nothing to offer; that in fact it is like the western quack doctor, who was unable to cure any disease except fits, and who, when lie was -Galled to treat a fever 'patient, insisted on throwing him into convulsions as the first step toward curing him of fever. This is so clear to me that, unless the republican party means to c;o out ef: business, I have no idea that they will nominate Grant next vear." There is little reason for be- lioving that Walker, the filibuster, buried five mule-loads of treasure at the Isle of Pines. or anywhere else. The whole story has proba- blv been fabricated.

Judge Black of Pennsylvania tellfe a comical stoty of a trial in rhica a German doctor appeared for the de fense in a case for damages brought against a client of his by the oVject of his assault. The eminent jurist soon recognized in his witness, who was produced as a medical expert, a laboring man who some .years before, and in another part of the country, had been engaged by him as a builder of pest and rail fences. With this cue "he opened his cross-examination. fYou say, Doctor," he began, with great deference and suavity, "that you operated upon Mr. 's head after it was cut by 2Vl. 1" "Oh, yaw," replied the ex-fence builder, "me do dot; yaw, yaw." "Was the wound a very severe one, Doctor?" "Enough to kill him ef I not saft his life." "Well doctor, what 'did you do for him?" "Everything "Did you perform the Caesarian operation?" "Oh, yaw, yaw; if me notLo dathe die." "Did yon decapitate -himT" "Yaw, yawpne dodattoo." "Did you hold a post-mortem exami nation?" "Oh, to be sure, Shudget me always do dat." Judge bent over m a friendly, familiar way, "tell us.vhether you submitted your patient to the process known among medical men as post-and-rail-fenciorum?" The mock doctor drew himself up indignantly. "Scherry Black," says he. "I always know'd you vas a tarn jayhawk lawyer, an' now I know you for a tam mean man." The Union Pacific railroad cost $50,000,000, which was fully made up by the first mortgage and government bonds. The construc tion companies which were created within the board of directory re-. ceived $93,446,000, and put the! excess in their pockets. Tom Bay-' ard truly said that the senators around him seemed to be indiffer ent about this immense outrage on the government of ten millions of dollars, while if the president wanted 25,000 a year salary more, or a cabinet minister "the prrice of a horse, there were Rebates lasting for days and weeks. An effort will be made during the session -of the 'Indiana legisla ture to procure the -abolition of the death penalty, and interest was added to the subject by the strang ling of three men yesterday, di Tectfry under the windows of the legislative halls. The Indiana law makers thus had an opportunity of studying the question in all lis reality. rAn advertisement in a newspa per is worth forty "directory' cards and oth(r foolish imitations. The paper is seen every day by hundreds, while the book is noticed by only a very few. MAP.ItlED, In Cold Spring, "K.Y., Nov. 21, D. W. Gage, formerly of Augusta, lo Mary E. Monks.
