There's nothing the matter here," Sarcastic boy "Of course there isn't. If theie was you wouldn't be here." It has been decided by a Brooklyn church that playing cards lsnt wicked, and two-thirds of the congregation have quit using them.

When the young lady begins to talk of tea-at a restaurant, and of hot birds on warm toast, the young man shivers and wishes the old ice-cream aays were back again.

'Yes." remarked a musical critic, recently from Kansas, "the fldulln' was bully; but I tell you when that fat chap with the big meustache laid hold of the bass fiddle and went for them lew notes in the violin-cellar, I lust felt as if a buzz-saw was a piayuv xanitee ueoaie on my DacKDone."

The suspicion that vice-president elect Arthur was not born in this counntry, and is therefore not eligible to the position to which he has Deen elected, has gained considerable ground in the past tevr days. A .New York lawyer has made an elaborate exami nation of the tacts, and it appears that the records show that hi3 parents did not reside in any of the counties of Vermont, where he is alleged to have been born, at the time of his birth. His own statements as to where he was born do not agree any more than do the statements of the year. His brother was born in Fairfield, Vermont, but not the Vice President-elect,. Chester Allen Arthur. When admitted to practice law in New York, he claimed to have been born in 1830, but the records show t'aat that interesting event could not have occurred earlier than 1832 or 1833. It is stated as a further fact that since he Was first informed of the proposed huntincr ud of his trenealeerv he has been writiDg letters endeavoring to make old residents recall things that did not oc cur, in order to establish his birth in Vermont, but without success. The developments in the case are so start ling and rest upon strong foundation of apparent truth that they demand se rious and instant attention. If it should be shown that English, after all, is en titled to preside over the Senate, what a blow to Conkling's hopes it will prove Fickle fortune will sometimes desert even its most favored votaries, and if Arthur be not Vice President, one great prop of an overleaping ambition has been knocked away.

Alter tne cere mony the happy couple left for Wash ington, where they spent the day in sight-seeing, returning to Alexandria late in the evening, when the oride, having been previously received into the Church, was baptised by the mir. ister who officiated at her mernage in the morning. This was a most unuasu al scene." says a correspondent, "from the fact that it was double union the one with man, the other with Christ." The bride and groom returned to their home the next morning alter the mar riage and baptism. Burned to Death. Wilmington Star. At Itock Hill, about five miles above "this city, on the Northeast river, an old colored woman, by the name or buitey Walters, discovered late Saturday v eninelhat her little grandchild had set fire to the woods, and that considerable damage would be likely to ensue whereupon she attempted to arrest the progress of the flames, when her dress caught fire.

In consequence of the likely extermi nation of partridges from the exces sively cold weather, a Game Protective Society has been recently formed in KimbleYille, Chester county, for the importation and propagation of South ern birds. Secretary Schurz publishes a state ment in reply to those of Senator Dawes and Ponca Commissioner Al len. He claims that the partial report of the testimony given before the inves tigating committee of the Senate on Saturday wa3 substantially true. "It would be regarded as a high breach of judicial etiquette," writes the Washington correspondent of the Bos ton Journal, "for Judge Harlan to go to dinner or to enter a carriage before Judge Bradley or Judge Field." Secretary Ramsey's brother, Justus C.Ramsey, who committed suicide the other day, is said by the St. Paul (Min nesota) Globe to have been led to the act by the feeling that the Secretary s defeat in the Minnesota senatorial fight was "a family disgrace.

Three hundred and eighty-three no tices of discovery of gold and silver in New York State were officially entered at Albany last year. A State Too Poor to Live. New York Times. A twenty-year resident of Nevada gives a surprising and despairing ac count of the present status of the Com monwealth. The prodigious mining interests which have for the last twenty years constituted its attraction and wealth have come to a stand still. The Comstock lode, out of which $400,000,- 000 of gold and $200,000,000 of silver have been extracted, though not ex hausted of the rich deposits, is now worked with : such difficulty and ex panse that unless a free coinage law can be passed the mines will have to be abandoned. The coiessai.weaith drawn from this golden mountains of silver and gold has been concentrated in the hands of a few men. The State itself has had little benefit. With tne col lapse of the mining business every thing else that hkhertor nrosnered the people of this State seew. to have come to a stana-suii. tiraziag, which, for a time Occupied a large part of : the in habitants, has now come to an end, Col orado inviting that particular .form of wealth-getting. Under these depress ing conditions the 60,000 people- inhab iting the iourteen counties into which the State is divided are discussing the question of how to meet the expensive luxury of a State government. T4ie taxes on bullion and cattle-raising have hitherto proved sufficient, but, now that these resources are at aa end. the hand ful of people find the byrdan too great to bear. As it is. not in the power, of the Federal government to annul the existence of a State; there is stromrtalk of annexing the fourteen counties to Calif ornra or returniajr voJuntarirr to a territorial condition,.
