A Question for the French...
Berlin, Feb. 7.—Referring to the
discussion in France on Gen. Thebau-

they are willing to accept as the highest
representative of the army a General

Father Ryan.
Philadelphia Times.
Father Ryan, the poet priest of Geor-

friend: “The Yankees have treated
me like a prince, and cordially. The
weather has treated me like a foe—■
snowily and chillily. I preached here
Thursday night to 3000 people—the
finest audience, in some respects, I ever
addressed.” •

to its mischievous universality, has

eign policy has been conspicuous for
bad faith toward the weak” and that
“it has subserved private speculations
in Tunis, whose costly occupation has
brought no profit; it has been stupid
and cowardly in Egypt, where the in-
terests of France deserve consideration.”
These indictments are formidable, even
though prepared and issued by the most
frivolous, fickle, cowardly and follower-

fold more formidable since they have

“Well, you are the meanest boy I

“But what about your pa’s dancing a
clog dance in church Sunday? The
minister’s hired girl was in here after
some codfish yesterday morning, and
she said the minister said your pa had
scandalised the church the worst way.”
“O, he didn’t dance in church. He was
a little excited, that’s all. You see, pa
chews tobacc6, and it is pretty hard on
him to sit all through the sermon with-
out taking a chew, and he gets nerv-

sing the last tune, and feels in his to-

Indian Troubles.
St. Louis, Feb. 7.—A dispatch from
Muskogee, I. T., says there are strong
indications of a renewal of hostilities
between the contending bands of
Creeks. George Porter, who has been
appointed commander of the Chicote
faction, has called in all available men,)
and it is’ said will attack the consoli- -
dated forces of Spieche, now camped
about fifteen miles from Okmulgee, as
soon as the weather is favorable. Both
parties are buying all the Winchester
rifles and other weapons and ammuni-
tion they can get, and it looks as
though serious trouble may result.
New York Stock Market.
New York, Feb. 7.—The stockmar-
ket opened at a decline of 1 to 1 per
cent, and in the early trade the market
was active but weak, and a further de-
cline of ± to” IL per cent took place,
but at 11 o’clock there was a partial re-

Peter’s Pains.
Peter Cooper, now in his ninety-sec-

says, “would cause me much pain

it and put it in pa’s pistol pocket,
where he keeps his tobacco box, and
when the choir got most through sing-
ing pa reached his hand in his pocket
and began to fumble around for a chew.
He touched the spring, and just as
everybody bowed their heads to receive
the benediction, and it was so still you
could hear a gum drop, the music box
began to play, and in the stillness it
sounded as loud as a church organ.
Well, I thought ma would sink. The

Ferry’s Dereliction.
Has it come to this, that for its
safety and its protection the loyal State
of Michigan, with its lumber and its
iron ore, is indebted to a copperhead
and a Confederate, Brown, of Georgia?
Such is the declaration of home or-
gans; but it is manifest that their pur-
pose isn’t to give glory to Brown, but
to poison the mind of Michigan against
Ferry, who, when the lumber and ore
tariff was under consideration, was
begging'votes for himself at Lansing.
“He was absent from his post. Absent
and self-seeking; absent and provoking
quarrels in the Republican party; ab-
sent and seeking a third term in the
Senate to which the people whose in-
terests he has deserted do not desire
him returned. How can Senator Ferry
explain this? How can he answer to
the people when the record shows that
it was Brown, of Georgia, who guarded
the mining interests of Michigan,
while Ferry, of Michigan, was absent
from his post of duty? This is the
terrible arraignment of Ferry by a pro-
tectionist journal opposed to his re-
turn.

An Editor Gets Even.
Denver Tribune.
rneappolutment of Colonel Charles
A Raymond, of this paper, to the mili-
tary secretaryship of the Governor’s
staff is not a good one. We understand
that the gentleman is totally unquali-
fied, and, even if he were qualified, his
duties in the Tribune office are such
that he could not properly attend to
them and at the same time to his duty
as military secretary. The writer has a
profound personal respect for Colonel
Raymond, and he values his friendship
very highly; but a lofty sense of duty
to the public impels the suggestion that
the simple facts that a man is honest
and happens to be connected with a
newspaper do not entitle him to eleva-
tion above the heads of others equally
as honest and much more competent.
We feel sorry to be compelled to say
this about Colonel Raymond, but it is
thus that the editorial room gets even
with the business office.

N. Y. Mail and Express.
As Mr. Hayes, the glass manufacturer,
admits in the apology he made at the
suggestion of Justice Patterson, of the
Jefferson Market Police Court, he was
not justified in slapping the face of a
man who called him a loafer when he
rebuked two ladies near him for ehat-
ing during the play at the Union Square
Theater last Saturday evening, but his
rebuke justified no resentment on the
part of the escort of the chatterers.
People who talk at a theater during a
performance deserve to be rebuked.
Mr. Hayes has the approval of Manager
Palmer, as well as of the people who
sat near him, for telling the two ladies
that their talk disturbed others. There
are men as well as women who seem
ignorant of the fact that talk at the
theater indicates a lack of good breed-
ing, and Mr. Hayes’ case ought to be
the beginning of a general movement
for the enlightenment of these people.

Houston Post.
Yesterday morning, while walking
on the front gallery of his residence, in
the Fourth Ward, near the Fair
Grounds, Judge J. W. Johnson, pro-
prietor of the Post, slipped and broke
his collar-bone. It was caused from
the sleet that had fallen and become
congealed on the floor. It will proba-
bly be some days before he will be able
to be on the streets again.

The Stump Speaker.
.The late Artemus Ward, illustrating
to his English readers the practical
character of the American mind and its
passion for political oratory, tells a
story of an execution somewhere in
Ohio where the sheriff, having led the
doomed man on to the scaffold, paused
before putting the rope around his neck
and asked him the customary question
whether he had anything to say before
being swung off. The man hesitated a
moment, probably to collect his
thoughts, when a local orator pushed
his way rapidly to the front of the
crowd and said: “If our ill-starred,fel-
low citizen don’t feel inclined to make
a speech and ain’t in« hurry, I should
like to avail myself of the present oc-
casion to make some remarks on the
necessity for a new tariff.”
