How liiany strikes will there be
daria the next four years? As tunny

Hayes? Watch out for theee strikes,
for labor still has no protection.
The report that Lord Sackvihe
will soon fro to Canada is probably
founded on fact. . After committing

Some Englishmen are distressed
that tbern can be found room in

Another Whitechapel murder and
the police have done nothing. The

Chief Justice Fuller is astonishing

If Mr. Cleveland had wanted to
be elected a second time and then

A candidate for the chair of ar
cheeology at .University College is
Miss J. . E. Harrison. She is the
most distinguished authority on the
art of Greek vases and is disputing
the place with some of the most em.
inent archaeological experts in Eng
land. Mr. George H. Forster, who on
Tuesday was elected president, of
the board of New York aldermen,
died. without knowing of his elec
tion. He was unwell for two weeks
previous to the election, but it . was
not thought that his illness would
prove fatal. He died at half past 10
o'clock on Tuesday, while the elec
tion was in progress.
Mrs. Harris is the name of a widow
in Topeka, Kansas, who has done
an original thing. She has. put up
over her husband's grave a lasting
memorial of the illness which caused
his death man ia-a-potu. At the
base of a simple granite shaft is
carved a mass of coiling and writh
ing snakes. Above is cut his name
and age and the simple sentence:
"Died of Delirium Tremens."
"Think naught a trifle, though it

The littl
craft, the
liibertad, with which Capt. Joshua
Slocumb, with his wife and two
sons, made the passage from Rio
de Janeiro to Southport, arriving at
the latter place on Saturday last,
was towed up to the city by the
steamer Bessie this morning, and is
now in the stream off Kidder's mill.
The Libertad is 35 feet long, 7 feet
beam and has 3 feet depth of hold.
With this little craft Capt. Slocumb
has made a passage unprecedented
in the history of nautical-adventures
and one which we should have no
desire to undertake.

the culprit was to be found they
started and . succeeded in capturl
ing him near Mr. Wiii. , .. P. Old

the city on the Federal Point road.
Before hjs. capture was effected the

himself covered by Officer Turling

be better to drop the , offensive
woauon and submit quietly. He is

There was a Large audience at the

first presentation in this city of this
