If all others who are not de- gerving a pension, yet drawing such, were to refuse, there would be no need of watch-dogs at the Treasury gates. oa It is supposed that Cameron holds the next legislature in his vest pocket and will have it re-elect him to the senate. When there was some quéstion as to what the complexion of the legislature might be, Cameron was in favor of Bea- ver for Senator, out of “gratitude.” But since he feels that it is all under his thumb he takes neither Beaver norgrat itude in his, and the legislature will be asked to take a Cameron cocktail straight and say its good. How are you, independents ? Ap ni A good many political snobs are mak- ing cabinets for Cleveland. Cleveland himself does not seem to let that little matter trouble him. Why should he? the Democracy has an abundance of ex. cellent material and Mr, Cleveland will have no difficult task to get good timber for his cabinet. With such able and pure statesmen as adorn the Democratic ranks the president elect will be able to select a cabinet, that will meet the appro- bation of the country, while on his way from Albany to Washington, March 3.

The strikers stood firm as long as there seem- ed to be a prospect of success, and cer- tainly the hardships and sufferings which they have undergone has never had an equal in the mining districts of Ohio. From the start the operators re- solved to win, and now they have ac- complished their undertaking. The officials of the Hocking valley say not the slightest fears of any new out- break. A number of miners offered to go work, and said the union men would al- so go to work if the syndicate would give! them the 50 cents per ton, without hav-| ing them sign the contract. Others asked if the syndicate would not agree to a compromise. The officials replied to these overtures that the day for compromising was past, that they had won the battle, and now could ne afford to accept terms from the conquer- ed. that they now had 1,400 men at work, and could only work for more. 4 i t Pe They gave the miners to anderstand furnish S00 § They already had enough men! under contract to start every mine they owned, which they contemplated in a few days.

THE “STRANGLERS” IN PARIS, Quite a new development of the science of robbery with violence is exercising the minds of the Parisian police and publie. The * stranglers ” of Paris have none of the charming impartiality which distinguished the operations of the Wes. {tern garotter and the Eastern Thug, | For these any wayfarer or exposed per- son was sufficient, The Parisian “stranglers,” on the other hand, select their victims from a single humble pro- fession, None but a belated cabdriver or omnibus conductor seems suitable ; and, indeed, there is much shrewdness in the selection. Late at night he is car- rying with him his earnings for the day. His business takes him into all kinds of lonely neighborhoods ; and, when he has driven a gang of four strangers to some quiet locality, what is there to pre- vent them, in settling the fare, from “settling” the driver tool A passing policeman would take little notice at first { of an ** altercation ” at midnight between 8 cabman and his passengers, and be- fore his suspicions are aroused the deed is done. The robbers have decamped with the day's “takings,” and the cab- man is left half dead beside his empty vehicle. With the omnibus conductor a different mode is adopted. The gang of four wait until they find themselves the only occupants, and the conductor, as check his way-bill Then they leap upon him at once, the fatal noose is sd- {Justed and drawn tight His money- ses on with the injured conductor gasp- ing on the seal.
