Benjamin Louth, of Pittsburg,
the inventor of a process for turn

The last words of the dying
great are generally regarded as
significant of something, and
obliging bystanders are frequently
obliging enough to make such lit
tle alterations and amend.neMts as
may be needed to make them ef
fective. But what will they make
of General Toombs' last vords,
"Lend me one hundred dollars?"
The police of Vincennes, Ltd.,
are not models in their profession.
On the night of the 22nd of
December, the mayor and a com
mittee of the council made a tour
of the city to see if the police
were "on deck." One of the
force was found at home in bed,
another was drunk, a th:rd was in
a house of ill-fame and the fourth

It is very kind of the Republi

What is needed in the way of
amendment of existing govern
mental arrangements almost as
much as the better regulation of
presidential succession, is some

ters now are, a congress does not
meet in regular session till full a
year after it is elected. This is an
utterly absurd condition, aodithas
more than once been the occasion
of embarrassments and exasperations.
