President and Mrs. Harrison will be the guests of Secretary and Mrs. Blaine at Bar Harlior during the last week of July. Col. Thomas P. Ochiltree, of Texas, is in Boston. Can it bethat he has been called upon by Gen. Butler to assist in compiling the latter’s notes on Admiral Porter? It is probable Ihat the Piesident will take his vacation in small doses so as to keep an eye on “that man Tanner,” who seems inclined to ahnorb the whole Unit ed States. It is charged by a Paris feuilletonist that the Prince ot Wales smokes in his sleep. Perhaps it is a new remedy for snoring that the head son of Albion is experimenting with. The farmers are patiently waiting for I'n de Jerry Rusk’s report on electric-1 iglit plants- It is believed that he can show that they do Iretter in the American cli mate than sunflowers. A Paris journal nominates Henry George for “next president of the United States.” The wild waves of the Atlantic will be likely to swallow this exotic boom before it gets out of sight of land. Prince Bismark’s salary as Chancellor Is Unexcelled for Durability, Ease of Operation, and Lightness of Draft. of the German Empire is only about $13,009 a year. He is also entitled to occupy an official residence free of charge though, and a great many brewers send him free beer. It is reported that Senator Evarts re cently remarked that he would rather be fat than be president. The senator should keep up his spirits. He is still youthful in mind and manners and may take a slant towards adiposity vet. English curates have been the succe-s- fill lovers in romantic tales since the in stitution of the church, but since three out of four of Archdeacon Farrar’s daugh ters have married curates the character I humus from the realm of fancy into that of fait. During his i event visit to Paris the Prince of Wales was frequently seen at the race tracks. The Jockey Club fitted up a box for him in elegant style, but it remained untenanted, the prince pre ferring to mingle with the crowds and l>et on the horses like common mortals.

Over $^00 was raised by the pagan Chinamen of New York. Vice-President Morton’s brother-in- law, Mr. Win. F. Grinnell, has been transferred as I'nited States Consnl from Bradford to Machester, England. So it seeins that Mr. Morton in purchasing the Vice-Presidency secured a snug family berth by way of lagniappe, and he had influence enough,too, to keep his brother- in-law in office under Mr. Cleveland. The Pittsburgh American Manufacturer states that on June 1 st there were 292 fur naces in blast, with an aggregate weekly capacity of 129,682 tons, or ten fewer fur naces in blast than on May 1st, and a re duced weekly capacity ot 8,856 tons. The decline is chiefly in coke furnaces. One year ago, or June 1st, 1888, there were 298 furnaces in blast, 6 more than in 1889, with a weekly capacity of 123,015 tons, or 6,667 fewer tons than on June 1st, 1889. A Kansas editor in drawing a pen sketch of Senator Ingalls writes: “Mr. Ingall's is not very pretty, his hair is very gray and he is exceedingly thin and would make a good clothes-prop or living illustration of the Dr. Tanner theory. His legs reieinble breech-loading sin gle-barrel guns thrust into gun bags. It Ji a mystery to us how he manages to carry such a big head full of eighteen carat braius around on such an emaciat ed set of underpinnings.” Col. F. D. Hitt, of Ottawa, 111., pos sesses some rare relics of the early French explorers of the Mississippi valley. Among them are the camp-kettle of I-a Selle and the Jesuit cross of Father Mar quette. The cross is of lead and copper and in form is double, having a figure of Christ crucified on the obverse anil of the Virgin and child on the reverse. At the end of each lieam is a heart. The relics are undoubtedly authentic. A trust for the manufacture and sale of paper has been formed in England, its purpose being to control the market. This it may do to a limited extent, but •he English consumers of paper are not particularly alarmed at the situation. Thev point to the fact that there is not in Great Britain, as there is in the I'nited States, a tariff on paper to strengthen the trust. There is a beautiful moral here for peop>e in this country who have to buy goods at trust prices sus tained by a high protective duty. An interesting figure on the streets of Quincy, 111., is the aged but still erect form of Gen. James W. Singleton, one of the old war-horses of the Illinois Demo cracy. Gen. Singleton lives on a beauti ful country place known as Boscobel, just out of Quincy, anil every fair day he drives into town, lie has re tired wholly from politics and is send ing the decline of life quietly among his hooks. He is one of the few surviving ante-bellum statesmen of Illinois, and is filled with entertaining reminiscences of Douglas, Browning, William A. Richard- son and other companions ..f his earlier political life. It is another instance of Civil-Service Reform under Harrison that Joe Manley as Mr. Blaine’s next friend, has been made room for by the removal of Post master Fowler, of Augusta, Me. There appear to be no charges against .Mr. Fowler, and Mr. Harrison undeniably did say that “fitness and not party ser vice should be the essential and discrim inating test, and fidelity and efficiency the only sure tenure of office”—but then how can Mr. Blaine provide for Ins “horn-blower” (to borrow Anditor foul-1 ter’s beautiful phrase) if such campaign pleasantries are regarded as principles" Berish the thought!
