Once more we have from Washing
ton the old story that certain localities
are absorbing too many of the offices.
This time it is against the reappoint
ment of Mr.. Motley to first class mis-
sion that the "shrieks of locality" are
raised Our confidence in Gen. Grants
sturdy common sense is so strong that
we look confidently to him to disre-
gard such appeals. Let us have the
best men for the offices, no matter in
what corner they live. They are all
citizens OF the Republic, faithful to its
institutions, and that is enough for us.

y very amusing anccdote is told of an

short time ago, while three crowned heads
OF Europe were there on Il visit to his
Imperial Majesty Napoleon These dis
tngul>hed persons were the Emperors of
Russia and Austria, and the King OF
Prussia. One day. having thrown aside
all state ceremonial, thcy determined to
see the sights OF the beautiful city on the
Seine, for their own delectation, and for
that purpose they resolved TO 90 ncog
80 as not To be recognized by the people
However, i'll their stroll through Pari.
they went aStray, and meeting u gentle
ly-lookln@ person, who Happened to
be an irishman, they politely asked him
il lie would kindly direct them to the
Palais Royal.
Faith and that | will, my boys"
says Pat, at the same time taking men
tai photograph of the three boys"
Tins way, my hearties,'' and 50 they
were conducted to the gates of Royal Pal
ace, and the lri>hman was about biddinr
them farewell, when the Emperor OF Rus
sla. interested and pleased rs much by
the genuine pollteness of Pat Cand what
son OF Erin was ever yet deficient in
courtesy and poiiteness). As by his lu,.ete
and witty remarks, asked him who ne
was.
Well" rejoined their guide; Il did
not ask who you were, and before | an
>wer you. perhaps YOU would tell lae who
You may be-
After some further parieyiuG, one
SAID. Il am Alexander, and they call
me Cz;T or Emperor of all the X Issias.'
''lnd,rd," said Pat, with roguish
twinkle in the corner OF his eve, and an
incrcdulouS nod of the head (as much as
to say, This boy /, up to coddng me u
bit'). Aud might | make bould to ask
who you be, my flower -
They call me Francis Joseph, the
Emperor of Austria"
''Mlo>t happy to make your acquaiut-
ance, Frank, my boy" says the Irish
man, who thinking he was hoaNed, and
in his dc>pairing efforts to get the truth,
ar he conceived, out of any of them,
turned to the third one said ''WhO are
YOU ?''
They call me Frederick William, and
! am klng OF Prussia"
They then reminded him that he prom
l-cd 10 tell them who he was, and, after
some hesitation, and mysterious air of
confidence, Pat, putting his hand to his
mouth whispered,
Il am the lmperor OF China, but don't
tell anybody"
