The Comic Side of The News

The suggestive remarks about bloomera have gone far enough. Cut them short. Before the troops are withdrawn from Tackson’s Hole we hope they will drive the correspondents, back to their reservation. A cablegram says that Nat Goodwin is having a glorious time touring England on a wheel. We are glad Nat left hia skates at home. At Greenwich, Conn., Miss Anna Mercy and Josepli Justice were mnrried. It isn’t often that the law tempers mercy with justice like that. A dispatch f]rom Philadelphia says that Holmes is lo'oking thin and dejected. Well, it's enough to wear out any man to keep track of the detectives’ clews in that case. A Florida dispatch says that a picnicking party down there “was pursued the other day by a snake which in diameter resembled a beer barrel.” Perhaps that's what it was. A vulucd New York contemporary which says that “Mrs. (Jorbett bas found marriage a failure" should guess again. A hundred dollars a week for life doesn’t loqk much like n failure. Mr. Davis, of New York, has been fined $5 and costs for selling a collar button on Sunday. If he had sold a suit of clothe*, probably he would have been to the penitentiary for life. *
