One of the ex-mayors of Gotham has been sued for a barber biil. That last syllable saved him. Bev. Dr. De Witt Talma-ge is charged with the most bare-faced plagiarism.

Walt Whitman being dead it is doubtful whether America has any poet who peases the cultuied British taste unless.the long silent “sweet singer of Michigan” shall pipe up once more. Moody and Sankey are going to revisit England. It is eighteen years since they were last there, and it must be admitted that the cable dispatches indicate a need for a little more religion in the queen’s snug little island. It is a great pity Jay Gould was impelled to give up his journey to Mexico through fear of being captured by bandits and held for Tansom.
