BiiilSE has instructed his attor neys to dismiss the libel suit against the Indianapo is Sentinel. . 9 Of 133 male children recently born in !Dalla$fTexas, 129 of them, it is ttated, Trerechristened "Grover." ' Two hundred visitors in Portland are weather-bound. About two thou sand residents of that city aro hide bound. TE3 would be 'good weather for iha!diiEi'&' N. Co. to start up the Alaskan and let her smash her way from Portland to the sea. Tbk thousand dollars, says a soulh- crh30Tirnal,ihavo"been realized from the sale, on the trees, of this season's crop of fruit on a nine-acre orango grove on Indian river, Florida. ". The old ship Colossus, which had been lyinglat the Brooklyn navy-yard for twenty-five j'ears past, has at last been, broken up. The government ; has realized 2,030 on the timber. The32 was a difference of eighteen between the vote cast for Bapallo (Dem.) and for Andrews, (Rep.), for judge o the court of appeals in New York, out of a total vote of 1,693, 030. WAsmxaTON society this winter is to be dazzled-by at least three fresh and ' blooming sprigs of European nobility, and all the belles of the country are preparing for the advent accordingly. The Dubuque Times states that since the prohibitory law went into effect in'Iowa the business done by the brewers has fallen off largely, but the sales of. wholesale liquor dealers have correspondingly increased. A sias in Cleveland, having bet his teeth (natural ones) on the result of the election, and lost, is now in a '' tjuandary as to tho payment, the win ner having refused ten dollars in lieu of tho molars, and insisting that the condition of tho wager be carried out. Cbematioic is making way in Scan dinavia. Tho authorities having " glven"lheiF sanction, a crematorium is to.'ba ,built at4 Stockholm, and a y' largo plot of ground around the cre matorium is to be laid out as a pub ,?lib park at tho oxpsn3e of the town. Soite "French soldiers recently pass ing the monument erected on tho field -of Waterloo, hacked off the tail of the Belgian lion whioh surmounts it, and notwithstanding France's apolo gies, the Eagliah government had to get a new tail for tho lion and screw it on. . . The New York Sun says: Tho Pa cific Mail Company seeTis to be one of the few corporate institutions now making money. The company is said - to have paid out at tho first of the month in dividends, debt installments, taze3 and fixed charges, some $350, 030, and according to tho official statement has something like $1,200, 033 in the treasury, Apart from that it pays tfow" o'uly $2.75 for coal in- , jstead o $i per ton, and has obtained ft reluotion of from -23 to 33 per cent on oU,4ard, provision and all tho supplies' needed for traffic. . THHltev.'Mirvin of Portland as- ;pires to be the Talmage of this coast -Recently ho delivered a sermon on the faults of -journalists. Now he at- -tacka the belief of 403,033,033 people. V?vdi.3C0UMe Iast Suiday.on the early history of the observance of Christmas, he asserted that ih .was a mo3t unreasonable state 'znent that Christ w-.s born in Decern ber. "The shepherds in that rainy season," lie said, "could not have been feeding, their flocks on the Judean hills. Prom all accounts of history, ,his, birth must have occurred about the middle of February, four years before the time universally believed. ".Thiswouid mike this the year 1S33, instead of 1S31 ' Iif-has frequently been remarked that while tho northern congressional districts' seldom return a member to , Congress more than two or three times, the southern members come back year after year, and seem to have an unlimited lease of official life. Judge Payson, of Illinois, re marking upon this peculiarity, said: "The southern members hold their "places im ply because they come hero to represent their constituencies, and are not expected to deal out places. No ona thinks of asking a" southern .Democratic member to seoure a post offload for Kim under E3pub!ican ad "SJlHSSffi"1 ffthr6rtixexn states ihc Republican representative finds, as soon as ho secures his seat, that he has thirty or forty little offices as signed to him, and that there aro from twenty to 103 applicants for every place. He selects one, and tho other ninety-nino at onco turn against him and Iho chances aro that they will carry strength enough to cause bis defeat Now the north will havo a rest for fonr years, and the southern men will find what a cureo patronage is to a congressman. I predict that within three years every southern member will be heartily sick of patronage, and that the result of Democratic distribution of post offices, eta, will bo that "two-thirds of those southern members who have served, long terms willbs relegated to the ranks of the superannuitsc".
