Complaints against Consul Le*is, of Tangier, continue to multiply. Consul I^wis was apfiointed by Secretary Bay ard. James G. Blaine is now secretary. Montana went democratic in spite of Russel Harrison, and now his father’s city, Indianapolis, has voted for democ racy. The Harrison hoodoo is not a mis fit. Emperor William, of Germany, thinks of nothing but war. He conforms his habits to those of Frederick the Great, and bis court at Berlin has become a camp. W. II. Vanderbilt, of the Yale class of ’93, is a son of Cornelius Vanderbilt. He has been elected captain of the Freshman crew, and has subscribed $100 to the same. P. T. Barnum, Mrs. Barnum and their grand-son, Barnum Seely, will sail for Europe on Saturday. Mr. Barnum will have 1,000 employees with his show in Europe. Gov. Hill neither smokes nor drinks.

Apple is pleased with the fruit of his labor. Citizen George Francis Train says that New York City cannot secure the world’s fair without his assistance, and Citizen Train is in jail in Boston.

Prince Bismarck labors under the dread that the present emperor of Ger many will rush rashly into war and overthrow the political structure erected after the fall oi France. Bismarck has no fear of death, but does not want to die until he has overcome the reckless inclinations of the emperor. Mrs. Cleveland is anxious to engage in some line of endeavor which will raise her above the average society woman.

As soon as he heard that Grubb was nomi nated for governor the grateful colored man started for the North. “Prince Bismarck,” says a correspond ent, is in appearance now a feeble old man. His face is waxen and flabby, and his hands are those of a verv old man—yellow and swollen in the joints and marked with unnaturally big blue veins. He is once more becoming very fat abdominally, and Dr. Schweninger is at his wit’s end to keep this flesh down, for Bismarck is no longer able to walk much. To please bis physician, lie tries from time to time, but his legs hurt him too much to make this form of exercise possible. All this tends to depress him, and the further fact that Ills family have not been a long-lived race serves to deepen his conviction that his days are numbered.” wvwwYV kl {Are fully prepared to meet the demands of the Fall trade for all kinds of Hardware Agricultural Implements, Pumps, Etc.
