HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA Blondin, the famous rope-walker, who amused our forefathers by walking a rope at Niagara, celebrated his sixty-ninth birthday at London, on the 28th ult, by walking a rope 200 feet above the ground. Notwith standing his age he is still a robust and active man. Word comes that we are to have a Russian fleet in New York harbor this spring. The Czareritch is coming along to see the Fair. ViceAdmiral Kasnakoff will be in command, and he will doubtless be accorded a hearty reception, with cordial inquiries as to the cause of his ‘ ‘Kof. ” It has been announced that Buffalo Bill has been chosen as a model for a statue of the 1 ‘typical American” that Utah will have cast in silver for the World’s Fair. This ideal will suit the small boy, but it is to Loped that Col. Cody will not be considered an embodiment of the highest American manhood. S. W. Allerton. the millionaire pork packer, has withdrawn from the swell Chicago club because there is too much drinking indulged in by the members. Mr. Allerton is not a temperance reformer, but objected to the constant temptations to indulge in the intoxicating beverages that were placed before him at the club rooms. , A most remarkable gathering was that in Carnegie Hall, New York, recently, when a Roman Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi, ministers of nearly all the Protestant denominations, and an infidel lawyer, sat in harmony on the same stage and made eulogistic speeches in honor of Phillips Brooks, a deceased Episcopal Bishop. Verily, “the lion and the lamb shall lie down together. ” Faqiit hundred million dollars are invested in electrical enterprises in this country. One-half of this enormous capital is bound up in electric light and power plants, and onefourth in factories for their produccion. The balance is employed in miscellaneous enterprises that are dependent on the others. Every electric railroad in the United States is said to be paying a handsome return on the capital employed, and kgicw projects of almost unlimited possibilities are daily being organized. New York City is agitated over the continued burials in vaults belonging to the old Knickerbocker families in Trinity churchyard, on Broadway at the head of Wall street. The burial place has been in use Z. ce colonial times. Grave digging ..s prohibited fifty years ago, but a number of the old-time families /niug vaults hi the inclosure have •ontinued their use, until they are a nta'ole charnel house, shocking to ..4 sensibilities of the passersby, as well as seriously detrimental to the public health. President Harrison brought the great Hoosier commonwealth into some prominence before the country at large, and Indiana has not been a loser thereby in the public estimation. Now the State has been honored in a permanent way by the naming of the battle-ship “Indiana”, Vhich was launched on the 27th ult. (Phis great vessel will not be fitted or service for a year, but when she ails forth on the waves, bearing the mnie.of the great State she honors, Jack woods Hoosier will be justijfeeling that she is the peer of a garni beneath the starry banner or beneath the glittering vault above. -- ;== 1 The exclamation point was brought iito court in London, recently, one Trs. Austin claiming to have been noddy injured in character by i use of three of them consecu:ly by a British nobleman in a letter to a friend. In the epistle the noble lord, in speaking Mrs. Austin, wrote that “she k van ted to bring her daughter to L ranees! 1” The jury could not be bade to see that damage had been inflicted and found for the defendant, oil igent people, however, can easiunderstand how, under certain

circumstances, this simple little orthographic character can be made very offensive. There are a few gentlemen at the White. House, who are fixtures which each succeeding administration inherits. They are Colonel O. L. Pruden, assistant secretary, who entered the service during the early days of the war; Colonel W. H. Crook, who has witnessed eight different inaugurations; B. F. Montgomery, telegrapher of the Weather Bureau; Thomas F. Wendel, usher since November 1864; C. D. O. Loeffler, appointed by Grant in 1872, and William Du Bois, usher appointed by Hayes in 1880. Neither one will likely be disturbed as they were found acceptable during the former administration of Mr. Cleveland. Time, like amelectric car, waits for no man, but plunges forward to the next crossing, taking on new passengers and leaving old ones behind in mud or wind or storm, heedless of the frantic cries of those who fail to catch on with its swift flight. Now it is a mighty man of war that falls by the wayside, and again it is a motley throng who are passed by. Onward it rolls, and on history’s scroll the record of its deeds are told. Men pass away, but day by day time keeps the track and ne’er turns back, but while we fall beneath the pall, we need not quail but set our sail for higher spheres beyond life’s fears, where time no more heads on the shore the fragile bark we cannot steer. High judicial authority has decided that a person who can play a good game of poker is not insane, and can not be held in an insane asylum where ho has been imprisoned after having demonstrated his ability in this direction. Young Mr. Cunningham, of New York, had so many peculiarities, —among which was his hatred for collar buttons, refusing to wear collars because the buttons got lost—that his step-father secured his commitment to an insane asylum. But friends rallied to his rescue, and it was proven that he was an expert at the game of poker. Mr. Cunningham was declared sane notwithstanding his intense hatred of the elusive ! collar button. Vindication is what unlucky men 1 have always longed for and seldom attain. Down in Georgia they ap- i predate this very human feeling to a more perfect degree than has perhaps been attained in any other region, in the United States at least. A postmaster ia the land of Hoke Smith made fraudulent use of the mails and was sent to the penitentiary for so doing. On his return from serving out his sentence his ad- i miring friends met him with brass bands and escorted him in triumphal procession through tnc town. They : afterwards elected him Justice of the Peace as a further expression of their disapproval of Uncle Sam for the in. carceration of their beloved fellowtownsman. Five hundred millions of the human race wear a complete outfit of clothing. Seven hundred millions cover part of their bodies, while two hundred and fifty millions adhere to the primitive fashions said to have been inaugurated by Adam and Eve | when they started in business, and seem from all accounts to be enjoying life quite as well as the fortunate or unfortunate millions who wear clothes and work hard to pay for them. Happiness is largely a matter of education and comparison; and it is not altogether an established fact that the highly civilized nations of the world are better off in this respect than thei r naked fellow men. “Where ignorance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise.” Dealer —Here, madam, is a horse I can recommend, sound, kind— Old Lady—Oh, I don’t want that kind of a horse. He holds his head loo high. Dealer— Eh? Old Lady—I like a horse that holds his nose close to the ground so that he can see where he’s goin’. In a town not one hundred miles from London there is preached every year what is known as a “drunken sermon.” It is a temperance sermon. It was instituted many years ago by an old,eccentric man, who bequeathed to the town a public house on condition that forty shillings bo deducted from the annual rent and given to a minister who should preach a sermon against the evils of intemperance.

THE FAIR SEX. The Rev. Mrs. Emily Woodruff was ordained as pastor of a Congregational church, at Jamestown, N. Y., on a recent Sunday. Miss Benfrey, a Chicago elocutionist, memorizes an entire novel or play and assumes each character in her readings. A scientific authority has just given out that a woman’s beauty arrives at its maximum only after she has passed her thirtieth year. Miss Herbert, the daughter of the Secretary of the Navy, who presides over her father’s home, is the youngest lady in the Cabinet circle. A LITTLE girl’s COAT. The fashionable small girl's coat may be a thing of beauty both inside and out. A coat recently seen was of bengaline, with a full pelerine of white Angora fur. It was made rather full, with large sleeves finished with a cuff. The bengaline was of a creamy white tint, the cuffs and ribbon bow in light blue. It was lined with a soft blue brocaded silk, with a design of white daisies.

COAT OP CREAM-WHITE BENGALINE.

The buttons which fastened the coat in front were of light blue enamel, encased in silver rims. The hat was of cream white felt. The flaring brim was outlined with a band of Angora fur and the crown was smothered with loops of pale blue ribbon. When the weather becomes too warm for the fur pelerine, then it is to be replaced by four graduated capes of blue bengaline, each one finished with a tiny ruffle of rare old lace. The Association of “Colonial Dames” has been in existence for some time in one or two of the Middle States and in Rhode Island, and has recently been organized in Massachusetts. Among the conditions of membership is ability to give names in full of six ancestors in America for six generations back respectively (mentioning incidentally any acts of public benefit one or more of them have performed.) The Maine Federation of Women’s Clubs has 1100 members. Mrs. Sarah Kipple, of Scranton, Pa.,has enjo} r ed her pipe for seventynine years, and thinks it soothes many of the ills of life. She is in her ninety-ninth year. Marshy N. Lyles, a colored woman of Sylvania, Ga., has begun the pursuit of learning at the local school. She is seventy years old. Boston, always advanced, has discovered still another profession for women. Mrs. Julia Brown has opened an undertaking establishment there. The “Golden Rose” of virtue will be bestowed this year by the Pope upon the Archduchess Margaret of Austria, niece f of the Emperor and abbess of a convent near Prague. The magnificent vestments worn by Mr. Irving as the Archbishop in “Becket” were designed by Mrs. Comyns Carr. They are said to be the most splendid ever worn by him.

A BROOKLYN WOMAN'S QUEER WILL. It ft Set Aside Oy Surrogate Abbottou Account of Its Incoherence. Henrietta W. Todd died in Brooklyn 6a January 10, and her will, bearing the same date, was subsequently presented to Surrogate Abbott for probate. It was written on a small sheet of paper in lead pencil, and was as follows: Charley and Harry each have 400 If there’s enough. 5 to Ellen. 4 to Mary. 4 to Sam. 400 to youngest sister during life, then all Harry, pay 50 for coal. 5 to Mr. Moore, St, Felix street. 10 to Mr. Barber. 17 gas bill. I wanted my oldest sister to have something if she not live her husband. Oldest brother have 400 to buy piece of land 'i of it to go to Mary. This is ray last will and testament. Henrietta Todd. Relatives contested the will on account of its vagueness and as being incoherent and incomprehensible, and yesterday the surrogate set it aside on those grounds.

Wimmin air too luvly to vote. A boughten vote is likely to spile. The bigger the skoundrel the bigger the prise for his influents. A politishan with a pull is some biggern a plain statesman.

The Vice President is only something fo fall back on in case ov axidents.
