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

A Paris journal nominates Henry
George for “next president of the United

It is reported that Senator Evarts re

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

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"
