The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "If Gabriel will kindly defer his final toot until the star route trial shall have concluded we will have no other favor to ask him." The Enquirer must want to live a mighty long time. The Philadelphia Times says that what is needed at the dynamite trials now is a diagram of O'Donovan Rossa's mouth.

Joaquin Miller writes in a recent let ter: While on this subject l naa as well refer to this all-potent word, and also to the rather Queer doings of this insolent lot of men in New York. For this word "broker" is fast falling into disrepute here : and all because of the very disreputable lives and deeds of many sailinsr under this once talisman- ic appellation. A New York "broker" is not what he was a year or two ago by a great deal. They may -resolute till tne cows come Home, as Joun nay says, but their resolutions only show their sympathy with sin, and that they are as deep in the mud as was the dead man in the mire. Yet it is to be admit ted, of course, that there are brokers and brokers. . Twenty years ago the California gambler began to put away his cards and turn "broker. But he never put away his courage or his decency. Through all kinds of fortunes in the San Francisco Stock Board, I remem ber the California broker as a brave. clean minded man. very careful of the sacred ties of friendship, true and chivalrous to woman, ready to die rath er than to see shame come to little children. And yet. as a rule, he was onlv a reformed maybe an uniform ed gambler. But compared to him the New York broker is truly "a dog." And that is all I have to say for your dead or for you O, elegaut and amiable -broker. Resolutions of sympathy I Hani My sympathy, my heart and soul are with the brave boy be drove to tnts, and with the shamed little cnu- dren. the betrayed friend, desolated by his hearth with the vestal fires forever dead.

In the olden days a man waa required ta give a bond and deposit it jwith tbo clerk of the court before he could take the hand of a woman in marriage. Capt. John Erwin. in cleaning up the old rubbish in the court house this week discovered a whole lot of these old bonds that had been filed away. Among them was the bond of Samuel Polk, father of James K. Polk, who eave bond in the sum of 500 pounds to marry Miss Jane Knox. The bond was dated December 24th, 17&4. and Robert Knox, the father of the bride, affixed bis name to the bond as surety. This was clever in the old gentleman. Not many - pros pective fathers-in-law would: do this sort of a thing now-a days. This giving of a marriage; bond was a queer old law, and its object, one of the old citi zens who gave one himself, tells as, was to insure that the man was able to sup port himself and to prevent the possibil ity ot their being thrown on the public bounty. As a result, in those days county commissioners were not troubled with supporting paupers.

Our country friends have been unfor tunate in their losses by fire the past few weeks and the latest sufferer re ported is Mr. Julius Grier, a merchant wbo owned a well stocked country store n Providence township. 12 miles from the city, near Providence church, and who lost his store house with its entire stock of goods last Friday night by fire. Mr. Grier was in the store about dark waiting on some customers and lighted a kerosene lamp. Shortly , afterwards he locked op the store and went to his supper, leaving the lamp burning. He had not been absent froml the store over half pn hour when his attention was attracted by a heavy smoke envel oping the store bouse. A party bf neigh bors quickly assembled and though the fire had gained a good start,' they could have saved the store but for! the fac that a barrel of kerosene oil and a few kegs of gunpowder which they knew to be in the burning house, kept them well hack in the shade. The fire burned rapidly as the building waa a ' frame structure, and when the flames reached the oil and powder, the whole thing went up in a jiffy. In thirty minutes time the work of destruction was com plete and nothing but a pile of smoking ruins remained of what a few moments before was one the best country stores in Mecklenbuig. Mr. Crier's 1 loss is considerable but has not yet been accu rately estimated. He bad a large line of dry goods, groceries and the like, and the loss in stock and building . it la thought will not fall far below 92,000. The Convention NextTaesdoy. The city Democrats will meet in convention next Tuesday to nominate a candidate for mayor. The convention will meet at 7 30 o'clock, p. nx, in Oates' hall. After the nomination of a candi date for mayor has been made the con" vention will proceed .with the nomina tion of aldermen by ward.!" So far as we know there are only 1m?eei candi dates for tne mayoralty whose - names will be brought prominently before the convention, and they are Capt F S De- Wolfe, present incumbent, Mr William C Maxwell and Col Chas R Jone?. Either of the above named would make a good mayor, and while they each have their persona friends who will work for them in the convention, whichev er one is nominated will receive ; the undivided support of the Democrats; and will be elected mayor of the eity.

In Dr. Talmage's sermon on the death of Peter Cooper he tells us as follows bow to settle the long conflict between capital and labor: "Peter Cooper's life warns us that the best way to settle the quarrels be tween abor and capital is Peter Coop er s way. There are two ways in which the quarrel can be settled. One is by the violent subjugation of the laboring cl assess. The other is the martyrdom of rich people. This is fast getting to be an age of dynamite Dynamite in the Kremlin, dynamite in the Parlia ment, dynamite in Ireland, dynamite in Germany, dynamite in Russia,dynamite in America. 'The remedy for all this is Peter Coopeiism. There was no dyna mite under Cooper Institute. Nobody thought of putting dynamite nnder Peter Cooper's house. Nobody envied him his carriage. When opulent men of all lands shall stretch out to the laboring classes and suffering classes a generous hand like that of Peter Cooper, it will terminate the age of dynamite.
