Frame still pushes her power in North África. Slie does not propose to take a step backwards, plot as the other powers niay to counteract and overlhrow her hold upon that country. Blonde females have petitioned Mr. Pull. mun not to upholster hls ciirs witli rrimson ftiiy more, as tlie color is so trylng to their complexión. llrunettes petition for more crlmson. So Pulhuan is puzzled. The asaassiu Guiteau says he has f'ull r„itl, ti,-,i ti... ,„...;...- r- ¦¦'" ¦'i-eoru lilm a fair trial. Certainly they will. Hul is a fair trial what he really desires? lic didn't accord his victim any chance lor defence. A secret service olllcer professes to be able to teil where the remaina of A. T. Stcward can be fouud. Wcll, if he can do t and will not do it voluntarily, he ought to be arrested and kept in conli nement until he divulges. The attacks and llander, and the general display of mouth and eheek by the physioians of the country over the presidenta case is certainly dista-teful to the mass of the people. They should al! have the ftood sene to simt op. To the great credit of the Irish people it is said that not oneof that nationality is to be fouuil ameng the Mormons. Altbough Moimon missionaries have endeavoied to induce them to entérate aml doLt u.oir polygamoi doctrine, they have preferred poverty to such a lite. An Illinois paper asserted that "theie is onejackass in our state legislature," and bcfore noou of the day on which the item was published the editor received a note from every meinber of the house, including thu speaker, telling him to retract or look out for a libel snit, eaeh memher regardiug it as n personal hit. Mr. J. ij. Leiseuring, of Altoona, Pa., i colleeting the editorial of all the kwdlBg papers of the world upon the death of 'President Garfield, which he proposea to issue in book f orín, together witli a brief sketch of his life. As every paper in the country considers itself a "leading" journal, the proposed book will have to be of mammoth proportions to contain tliem all.

On the lirst Tuesday in November New York state holds an election, and the conventions which are at present being held are sometimes quite full of life. The offlcers U be elected are a secretary of state, a coinptroller, a state treasurer, an attorney general, a state engiueerand surveyor, and an associate judge of the court of ppfials. Therc are also to be ehosen cougres-incn to fill vacancles In the 9th, 11 th, 22d and 27th districts, éstate leBaton aml 198 umnblymen. Upon ouj tirst page will be found a description of a portion of the inhabitants of the island of Haytl, at one time one of the most produetive of the West India grunp. The story now told of the decline of its people is almost too horrible for elvlliztd beings to believe. The islaud should be taken in charge by 90111c of the civilitil nations; the barbarous '"Voudou" worshippers auuihilated, and a stable form of (tovernnient given the unhappy people of that island. It is now tliou'ht that after President Arthur has had time to arranjre matter and things satisfactorily at the national capitol, he will accept the resignation of a portion, atlea9t, of the present cabinet, and surround himself with advisers with w hom he is in sympathy. In fact Secretary MacVenj:h and Postmaster General James both insist upon such a course in their Individual cases. Mr. Mi'.cVeagh thinks that (Jen. Arthur's administration can not besun -cful with a cabinet in aiiy way out of sym pathy with him. Men's clothing costsmore than women'.

The Ohio state election t his tal I, has been robbed of much bitterness and iiei'iciu'-s by the death of President Garfiekl, aml the deep feeling of the panda tliereat. In lact, were it not for au oecasional refereuce to tlie subject by Ohio journals, the masses of peopk would not knuw that such anevei.t was down upon the politica! inogram at all, yet it is to take place next Tuesday. If the people of Ohio would only all turn out and vote, thls coming election would be a free expression of their political prefereuces, unbiased or uninlluenced by 01 fljrurers or wir puliera. Tliere woalil be no doubt to the renult of such in eleclion, with all the people voliug. A -insular accident occurred to u Cunada Soutliern R.
