When we think of the political institutions and aims of Americans we are proud, bat when we think of our political trfukstera, we feel like using the words of Horace Wulpole"I should love my oountry vary much if it were not for my oountrymen."

In a breach of promise Uwsnit, .in Marahalltown, Iowa, the plaintiff swore that he broke the engagement with the defendant beoause, when he slipped and fell ou the ice, she laughed unfeelingly. She awore that she laughed because he would not have tallen if he bad not bowed with superfluous politeness to a young woman,'' *3

There is tender charm about a long summer day, a restful place on the misty hills, a soft, material benison about the serene Indian summer but for an ethereally beatific soene of nature, none of these osn hold a oandle to the expression of the' modest young man who yesterday, for the first, time rolled, in a new buggy, his initial baby down town.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

The defaulting Angell of Chicago is a "phenomenal" thief. He went from Chicago to Joliet in the same pleasant spirit with which be traveled from Chicago to England, from England to Rio and froflu Rio to Lisbon. Indeed, he was weary of wandering, and actually seemed to accept a cell in the penitent! ary as a happy haven. His philosophy is equal to his high-toned languor. A prison, he remarked to his friends, "is a good plaoe in which to study humanity* and I propose to make good use of the time to brush up in tbat department of knowledge." It is to be hoped that the warden and other officials will not be wanting in Co-operative efforts to facilitate the inquisitive and philosophical newcomer's investigations, ,-r
