any girl frcsh from her books, II she
passes the necessary examination, receives
4 twelve hundred dollar clerkship, while
tho one who Is competent TO do the WORK
and has been faithful for years is KEEP,
down At 5000. Long years OF service snd
the highest recommendation from the
heads Of bureaus do no. count foe
anything except now and then,
when we hear Of case
like that of the lady who is private secre.
tary 10 Mr.. Commissioners Douglass, who
cut the whole thing. Inasmuch as the
lady being q widow with four children dc
pendant upon her, and never had any
great amount Of book knowledge, he took
the whole responsibility, and gives hor

q husband went of three years ago and
left his three children for her TO support.
After the duties Of the Office are over, she
goes homo to sew and cook and look after
her children. Last week sbo dropped
from her chair Ia the Office os though she
had been shot. The doctor pro-
nounced il hard work, run down,
and few more names for

returned 10 her post, although told by the
physician she needed rest. She cannot
afford to rest. Now, think /. would

b willing TO dispense with them. In the

CoNslpERAR1E excitement has beo


CONSIDERABLE excitement has been
caused in Germany recently by the ope-
rations of an American, representing him
self TO be an officer on General Grants
staff. He. visited nearly all the petty
Dukes and Princes in Germany, armed
with forged credentials, and collected large
sums, which he announced were to help
build gigantic monument in memory Of
the soldiers killed during our civil war.
One day, however, he arrived in the
Duchy of Anhalt and solicited an audi
ence with Duke Leopold, who happened
to have an American Sccre :ary, Mr.. Bese-
lin. The latter suspected the solicitor,
and held him until he had telegraphed to
Mr.. Bancroft, who at once pronounced him
to be a swindler. lie was then placed
under arrest. lilo turns out to be an
lrishman, named Beatty who has long
lived in the Western states. IL is not prob
able that the United States will trouble
itself about him, however. The little
Dukes and Duchesses whom he has ileeced
can do what they please with him.

The Nation thinks the Democracy
will presently learn "that their old name
and their old organization is about as use
ful to them as converts striped clothing
would be in an application for bank
clorkship." The Nation fails to probe
the heart of the matter. The trouble with
the Democracy is not external but inter.
nal; not in iucidentals, but in essentials.

it cannot escape itself. (which way,'-

AN Englishman writes to the New York
Tribune, stating that he has at last discov-
cred the secret of the Yankee nasal twang.
lie has found that the people of the couu-
ties OF Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Middle.
sex, in England, have nasal twang, and
that the ancestors of the people who live in
the counties of the same name as the above
in New England came from these counties,
and brought their twang with them, and
their descendants have become so i'm
pressed with the accentuation and tone
that they can't get rid of it. The theory is
very plausible one. Having settled the
New England twang, the New York Tri-
bune's Englishman now ought to investi-
gate the Western and Southern twangs, and
find out where they came from.

A RURAL Kentucky paper of the Bour-
bon persuasion. in speaking of successful
agricultural fair lately held by the colorcd
people of its county, at which nearly two
thousand dollars was distributed in premi-
ums, naively adds: ''The whites felt too
poor to attempt fair this year." The
unconscious flavor of satire which inheres
in this remark is absolutely delicious.
Here is people whom that paper and
others of its class have always despised
and condemned as beings of an inferior
order, setting examples of creative energy,
enterprise and thrift, to the very persons
who have maligned and prosecuted them !;
while these latter, Notwithstanding the
manifold advantages, material and other
wise, which they possess, are compelled to
acknowledge themselves outstripped in
progress by those whom they lately held as
chattels.
