Detroit Tribune: The süflest free trader is a protectionist when he wants to sell anything. New York Tribune: We are willing enough to ehake Bismark's hand, but he sliould firBt have the goodness to take off tho glove. Naehville American : A Boldiei'a home at the Hermitage ia the proudest monument the state could raise to the memory of O!d Hickory. Cincinnaü Commercial : One of the strongestnames mentioned from first to last for eecretary of the treasury has been that of Senator Aldrich, one of the best informed and most studious and laborioua of our pub'ic men. Boston Advcrtiser: Next to Senator Allison, and first, now that his name s withdrawn, stands Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, in the minds of business men of New England. He would make an admirable secretary, and if Mr. Blaine jvere not to be secretary of stute, we believe that his name would be very favorably considered. Kansas City Evening News: The attercation over the establishment of a pest house has passed beyond the joking point. With no desire to alarm the people of Kansas City, the Evening News n vertheless declares in all gravitythatit isessential that the health authorities should be supported in their efforts to deal with infectious diseaees in themanner provided bylaw. Ifthe attitude of the citizens toward the health offlcersisoneofopenresistanceor indifference, the spread of a pestilence is inevitable. It is of far more importance to the city as a whole that disease should be checked, than that the owner of outlying suburban property should escape the annoyance of having a pest house in his vicinity.

Sunderland of Ann Arbor, contains a recent letter from the author of " Bobert Elsniere" Mrs. Ward says: "The success of the book in America has, indeed, been extraordinary. I have been so much touched and stirred by it, that it has been difficult for me to begin the new book of wbich my mirul would soon be full, were it not for the disturbing career of the old! And yet, of course, the sympathy shown my work ought to be a great stimulus and encouragement to me for the future, and very likely when I get into sorue quiet place, as I hope soon to do, away from London, and set seriously to work again, I shall feel it only or mainly in thia way,"
