Entered at the Post Offle at Cape Girardeau, Mo., a secoud-class matter. SATURDAY, JANUAUY 11. 1'M. Only fourteen months more of Grover. Then Treasury deficits, bnd sales and panics will come to a dead stop. In the event of Gov. Morton's nomi nation for th-! Presidency, the selec tion of a candidate for Vice-President will be invtssted with unusual impor tance. Mr. Seward favored the purchase of the islands Denmark has again offer ed to the United States, and his repu tation stands high as an exiert in foreign real estate. A clause in the Constitution of Venezuela declares the territory of the republic to be inalienable. This fact disposes of the suggestion that tho region in dispute can be given up for a bribe. Tho latest plan of the rainmakers is to produce a fog and thon turn it into raiu by an ingenious application of dynamite. London is suggested as a tield of experiment, but Londoners may bjscL Nobody takes Gov. Morton's candi dacy seriousiy, yet if he were tan years younger he would be ahead of Harrison and perhaps ahead of Alli son in the race. The question of in terest in connection with him is: To whom will the New York delegates go when, after the ftrst or second ballot, they drop Morton? Gov. Morton might .have some chance to get the nomination, not withstanding his advanced age. if his State were in the doubtful column again. Nobody, however, believes the Democrats have the faintest chance to carry New York this year. More over, the Republicans will undoubt edly lie able to win without New York. The sound money Democratic Sena tors are doing right in prepairing to make a vigorous light against the Finance Committee's five silver sub stitute for tne bond bill. If. by the aid of the Republicans, they defeat the substitute, they ought to combine with the Republicans in lehahilitating the bond measure and in pushing it to enactment. A law of that sort would be of great service to the aiiuiiristra tion in exigencies like the. ptvscnt. NUGGETS AND NUBBINS. .Mr. Isaac Now Esau. ! Iiuf made my vill and left everything 1 have ( you.

They say. you know, lb misery loves company. ' don't know how that is, but company loves misery. very time. c- Dean Hole's book giving his im jiressions f this country, - out. contains some curious inaccuracies Ho says, for instance, that in prohi bition towns liquor is generally dis pensed in teapots, and tolls about a guest in a hotel who. upon calling for something to drink, was told by the landlord: "You will find a little tap near your dressing-table in your room, which will put you in communication with the old rye, and you can take what you please for yourself and your friends, as there is a meter on the other side of thr wall." !t cannot be supposed that this was a personal experience of the good I Van. and it looks, therefore as if some was.' had been "stuffing" him. In a certain Ayrshire lishiug village, tho local doctor was called in the oth er day by a stout, sturdy looking wo man of gigantic proportions, who in formed him that she had fallen into a very delicate state of health. The doctor did not feel called upon to nearch the pharmacopoeia very deeply; and he asked if she could eat a her ring. "Ay," she. replied: "I rather like them." "Well, the best thing you can do is fust keep at them," said the doctor. On his next visit the question was put as to whether the patient had felt herself equal to carrying out the pro scription. "Oh, yes," answered the woman. "And how many herring's did you manage at a meal?" was the next query. Weel, sir," was the reply, "I man aged to eat eleven." "Eleven"' exclaimed the man of physic, with an amused smile. "That is quite as many as I expected. How did you manage them?" "Weel, sir, they were rather strong," said the patient, "but I just conquered them wi' bried, ye see!" WAYSIDE NOTES. Mrs. James J. Corbet, that was. has notified J im that he need not pay her any more alimony. She was wedded last Saturday to Mr. Masury, the millionaire, in New York. President Cleveland signed the pro clamation last Saturday morning which admitted Utah to Statehood. Over in Arkansas a man named Driver stole a lot of hogs from a man named Pigg and mortgaged them to a man named Ham. He was prose cuted before 'Squire Bacon; a promi nent witness was named Shoat. He was convicted and put in charge of a jailer named Lard, all according to the Little Reck Gazette. The relatives of Anna Bradshaw, the young lady who suffered death whilo undergoing a surgical opera tion in St. Louis a few days ago, say she never sinned, and that the dead child was not hers. They say the sensational story was circulated t shield the physicians from blame for the terrible error which caused the death of the woman and the child. They still say that Anna Bradshaw was oierated on for a tumor, and that the work was so bungled that, to conceal tho bungling, the story was given out that the woman had leen on tho brink of maternity. A dead child was secured somewhere, and the in formation then given out that it was Anna Bradshaw's. This belief ol the relatives of the unfortunate woman is, however, disproved by the post-mortem examination of Dr. Nietert. which showed lieyond a doubt that she had erred. St. Louis will Imrv her wire?. in all probability The Bar Association of Pittsburg. Pa., nave di-cided to permit women to practice law there. A resolution to exclude women from practicing law was overwhelmingly defeated, sifter a spirited discussion of nearly two hours, at one of the largest meeting ever held bv that association. Tilinossee will Ik- the first State of the Union to celebrate the one hund redth anniversary of its admission into the federation, and she will do it ' on a grand scale.

Fftecn hundred sea otter skins were brought to the traders by Alaska In dians this year, according to the esti mate of a trader just returned to Seattle. Furs of lcars and foxes ag gregating many thousand dollars in value were also brought in. He says Alaska's wealth in furs is very great, and in many regions is yet practically untouched. The tract lietwcen Cobk inlet ami the Yukon, he says, pro duces the finest furs in the world, and only one or two white men have ever been in there. While he was in Akron. Ohio, re cently receiving congratulations on his election to the Ohio Senate, James R. Garfield, son of the murdered President, met Edward II . Viers, now a farmer near Akron, who claims the honor of having been the first man to give the late President employment on the canal. The late ( apt. Wright was aUays a great admirer of Hon. John Leary, although othorwise a Democrat, and when the latter ran for Mayor, nearly four years since, W right came down town with a pet parrot on his shoulder, trying to teach it to say "Hurrah for Leary." This it would not do, and after returning home he turned the hose on it. After this operation the Captian, feeling very sorry, said: " you, Polly: you ought to have said 'Hurrah for Leary.'" Polly stood before the fire drying its feathers, and without turning around said: "You go to h 11." A fisherman, skilled in music, took his lyre and his nets to the seashore--but. let the fisherman tell the rest in his own inimitable way: "Standing on a projecting ruck I played several sweet tunes in the hope that the fish, attracted by tho melody, would dance into the net. Presently a large fish poked his head out of the water and said: "Sir, if you will play that in the lower clef we will dance.' I did so and was surprised to see the net fill up rapidly with beautiful fish. I kept on playing in tho bass clef until my net was completely full of bass. The largest I caught that day weighed a trifle over sixteen pounds." Moral: Evidently the fisherman brought his lvre home with him. JACKSON ITEMS. FROM THK CASH-BOOK. The town has been full of visitors this week. Court week, you know. The little baby boy of Mr. James Browning's, this city, .is very sick and not exjiected to live. Jas. Thompson, who was tried for assaulting oneSierod, was fined Slfcl.'iO in circuit court this week. The boys of the Training School will have a debate at Frnitland next Tuesday night. All are invited.
