We'vo Got 'cm I By clever parliamentary tacttco, and to the Jntenao disgust of (ho Democrats ol tho Hoiiao, Air, Iteod, of Maine, Una forced fipeaknr Oarlielo to admit on two diotinct propoaitionu?and in almoot all tho Bpoken languages?that the Democratic Appropriations Committee haB abaoluto control over tho moasurcs looking to tho protec* tlon of our coaste, and that any failure to mako tho necessary provisions will bo solely tho fault of tho Democratic party. Mr. Randall and Mr. Morrison united in baing decidedly uncomfortable and doiug a deal of fquirming?all to no purpose, Tho flpoaker wna forced to admit tho point, and tho whole House caw that it had been well takon by Mr. Heed. Now let tho Democratic Committee on Appropriations refuoe to report the do fontio measure. Lot the jbrttiBh come with thoir men-of-war anddc3troy our oppulent cities of tho coast; and let them, if they will, hurry their hirelings inland to plundor tho prosperous towns and lay waste tho <iiiir fields laughing. with tho goldon harvest. Wo shall not greatly enjoy these things, but wo ohall have the awcot conBolation of knowing that tho Democratic party is solely roeponsiblo for tho mortifying failuro to got ready to tecolvo tho illmanuored invader. After wo havo gathered up tho wreck and made a treaty with England to permit us to resume business at tho old stand, wo'll moot tho negligent Democracy on tho stump and once more solemnly fix the dread responsibility. Civil Service lloforin ur Dcntli! "Scratch a Ruasian and you catch a Tartar"?a Democrat and you have your hand on a Civil Service reformor. Philadelphia is about to elect tho first Mayor under a new city charter, and the Ddmocrnta' are making a characteristic campaign with some extra trimmings. They havo a combination of their nominee for Mayor, the chief organizer and a miscellaneous assortment 0/ orators, all of whom play on the Barno string?"if wo get thero all of you shall be takon care of." Tho nominee for Mayor says he will do thai and i3 willing to bo put undor bond for tho faithful performance of his part of tho contract; and ho adds with fine pathetic effect that he will havo 7,000 . places to give "to those that help mo." Tho number of places named will not "tako care oi all" of 80,000 Democrats, but ? it is the spirit of tho thing that is expected to catch. Ho is an unappreciativo Democrat whoso heart does not beat responsive tOBotouder an appeal accompanied with so sweeping an earnest of reform. And so the great causa of Democratic reform goes marching on. Slio Must Go. In theso days it is a poor cause that can't afford its organ. The noble caueo of the woman-hater hft3^too long been unrepresented by a publication all its own, but this la to bo no more zor6vor ii the promotera of tho Vienna Misogynist can help it. Tho publication of tbia sweetHouuding name ia founded for the solo high purpose of fighting woman wherever ahe ebowa hercclf. Tho hostility of tho Misogynist ie to be implacable. There liaa long been need of a chnmpion of thia character?one that would not sell out to tho unscrupulous enemy. Woman, with tho stealthy craft for which in all agea ahe has been famous, ia steadily invading tho realm of the othor sex. Not only go, but ahe is getting on well in it and giving acceptable eervice in what she undertakes. She does well hi mercantile life, in tho skilled industries, in the arts, in medicine, in tho law, in journalism?;in short, whatsoever hur hand fludoth to do aho doeth so that it ia really difficult to teirthat it is not done by a man. It ia needlesa to cay that men can't afford to let tho matter drift. They must strangle the monster beforo it assumes proportions so great that it cannot be grappled with. Every man will now havo to learn to eat "Wienerwurst so that he may bo able to read and enjoy tho able articles in hia Vienna champion. MAIUtlAGE UX IMtOXY. Unlawful uml Good Hdumodh "WhyJt in so. Tho Van Zamlt-Si>lo? Affair. Chicago Journal. "What do you think ot tho Spiea-Van Zandt proxy marriago?" wr.a naked of Stephen A. Douglas. "I think," anawerod Mr. Douglas, "that are there threo occasions wlion common deconcy requires a mail to bo present?viz.: hia birth, his marriago and hia funeral. Not only do I beliovo this proxy business to bo valid, but I do not boliove that Mr. Spies ia jn a position to contract a valid marriago in his proper person. Just after tho war, in adjusting tho changed relations in tho South, one of tho moot important questions which arose was aa to the validity of marriagoB where one or both parties were slaves. Of course tho courto wore anxious to sustain them, for doing otherwise unGettlejl tho homo relations of four-filths of tho laboring population of tho South. In spite of this tho courts throughout tho South, with practical unanimity, held, first, that consent was tho first requisite of a logal marriage, and, second, that being undor thomastor's control a slave could not legally consent to anything, and that theroforo such marriages wore not binding. Now in analogy here is a man under sentenco of death. Remember that tho Supreme Court must act affirmatively in his favor before tho Bhadow of the gallowB is removed from him; and who is novor allowed for one momont to be out of sight of the doath watch from the time of the sentenco until his fato is finally determined by tho Supreme Court. Ho can receive no letters, can seo no visitors, can absolutely do nothing without the permission of the Sheriff. ' Now can that man in any way be called a froe agent? Is not he injact lees freo than was tho slave whoso life was protected by the law, while tho man's life is forfeited to the law?' In my native county a fornalo stave was acquitted for killing her owrf master who attempted to violate -her poraon, and yet that slavo could not contract a legal marriage, She could refuse, but she could I not consent. Is not tlio analogy plain? No, sir; I do not believe that Mr. Bplce lo " now capablo of giving legal councilt, ouch ns in neccBaary to contract a loiial mar- si riagc. Take another viow ol It: 01 course, e you liavo heard of tho power of judicial tl onmi-Iegislation expressed In tho words: ii 'Against public policy.'

Ho Wr?a a Short UUul. Chicago UiTald, A Becdy-looking man got aboard a Chicago and. Northwestern train at Racine . tho other day. Tho train was about two miles out of Rocino when tho conductor camo up and aakod him for his tickot. "Ain't got any, but I'm a railroad man myself." "Where do yon want to go?" "Chicago." "Well," saidthe good naturod conductor, roachingfor the bell-rope, "I'll do tho boot I can for you," "Thanks, thanks: we railroadmen should stand together." "Yea; wo have a heavy train to-day,and this is a down grade along here; I think the train will run about 1,500 feet bofore it cornea to atop; I'll carry you that far with ploaauro." A minute or two later the seedy-looking man was jumping off into the snow. "You're very kind," ho said, "to carry mo ovon this far. But, beon'a.we're both railroad men, you know, couldn't you chango your mind and take mo a littlo farther?" "Sorry I can'tobligo you," replied tho conductor, waving a "goaheml" signal to tho ongineer, "but the fact is we have to be very particular Bince Congrooa boa got to paaeing laws governing railroads. Under tho law the most that I can do for you is to give you a ohort haul. Good day." And tho train puffod itaolf on in tho direction of Chicago. "BeBwift to hear!"

P last week my attention was called to frequent cases where the fire In tho prate wa? unsatisfactory I as to heat and gas found burning around tho E mixer, under tho grate. Whenever that occurs tho B filling In tho grate should be taken out and read* Justed over and around tho burner or distributing * Iplpc. To secure a bright, clean, safo and sallsfac- . tory fire, the tilling In tho grate ought to bo taken out about once a month, and allilio dust or dirt that has accumulated around tho mixer or distributing plpo removed and the filling carefully put In so as to not Interfere with tho How of gas up through the filling In tho grate. If the openings i In tho burner are allowed to bccomc clogged with I U dust the gas may bo driven down around tho \ * mixer and might become dangerous by finding Its way down through tho hearth. A careful obiervanco of tho above will insure a good, clear fire, and prevent possible accidents f ? from fire. ' _ ? fc8 C. IV. HATCTTELOIi, Prcs't. C ~ GKATJSFU.L?COMFOKT1NG. EPPS'S COCOA.
