About the funniest thing of recent occurrence
Is the assessment of five per cent. levied on his
clerks by the postmaster at St. Louis, ''for al
legged political purposes, and for Office expenses
and repair Of the building" 1t is stated that
the postmaster justihes his action on the ground
that he has recently incurred a heavy personal
expense in increasing the facilities Of the Office
and of that section of the country, which has
required visits to Washington and other places,
the cost of which he cannot afford to pay him
self. This excuse does not possess the requisite
thickness, and if the matter Is brought to an
issue we suspect this yerdant manipulation OF
mail bags will have to back water.

The prompt and emphatic disapproval by the
Board OF Fire Commissioners at their meeting
last night of political interference with the
management Of the Fire Department, merits.
and will no doubt receive, the appreciation of
all good citizens. That is by far too important
branch of the public service to be run as q
political machine. At least three branches of
municipal administration in all our cities should
be above political manipulation-the public
schools and the police and fire departments.
Nothing but trouble, confusion, irregularity
and general inefficiency ever results from
placing such interests in the hands Of men who
use them to forward party ends.

Some weeks since The STAR noticed a report
made by President Eliot, of Harvard Unker-
sity, in opposition to the establishment of a
national university at Washington. The Bos-
ton Advertiser of the I'd instant prints a reply
from Prof. WIN. b. wedgwood, vice chancellor
of the proposed university, in which President
EGot's objections are considered and a sketch
of the enterprise given. In answer to the
charge that Washington is the capital only In a
governmental or political sense; that il is focus
OF neither foreign commerce nor domestic trade,
neither manufactures, agriculture nor mining,
neither literature nor art, and that the climate
Of the city is not very healthy, &C., Prof wedg-
wood says:
washingtonis to the United States what the
head Is 70 the body. The best talent OF the ma
ton Is concentrated here, in the legislature, the
judicial and executive branches of our own
government, and the best talent of all foreign
nations is here found in their ambassadors and
ministers here the government makes her
laws, here are her courts of last resort and here
Is the home OF the chief officer of the nation,
sworn to see that the laws are faithfully exc
cuted- Here the government holds intercourse
with all the nations OF the earth, and here
settles all questions OF peace or war, regulates
foreign commerce and domestic trade, aids the
agricultural and mining interests of the cOun-
try. Here are found advantages for progress in
science and art which no other city in this union
affords. Among these advantages are the con-
gressiOnal library, the scientific collections of
the patent office, the land office, the medical
department Of the army and navy, the Smithso-
man Institution, the agricultural department
with its experimental grounds, botanical gar
dens and cOnsery atOries, the national observa-
tory, the bureaus of the coast survey and storm
signal services the laboratories and workshops
OF the Navy and War departments"

remarkable report comes from New York
OF the involved condition of the city finances
The expenditures OF last year were twenty mil

ment Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and
attributes II TO the removal of Mr.. Clarke, the

but justice 10 Mr.. German, the present presi-
dent, TO say that the canal was as badly man
aged under Mr.. Clarke as it is under himself,
and that accidents were Is frequent then as
they are now. In other words, it Is ''six one

be that the canal Is made Political hack for the

Ex-Governor Swami, Of Maryland, says he
has refused to accept his back pay, and that
when ne next visits Washington he intends
o take such action as will result in its absorp-
tion by the United States Treasury. But &C
cordIDg to Gen. Spinner the Treasury simply
holds these back pay contributions in trust, and
they may at any time be reclaimed. This must
be narrowing reflection to the members who
fondly believed thatthey had made full restitu-
ton to Uncle Sam, and we therefore suggest
that Gen. Spinner give them back their money
on condition that they purchase United States
bonds with ia plan we referred to the other
day; that they turn over these bonds to Gen.
s., and that when all have done this a joint
committee be appointed by Congress and the
Secretary of the Treasury to convey these
bonds to the Washington navy yard, there to be
placed in furnace heated "seven times hotter
than an oven" to be burned in the same man
ner as WORKOUT plates Of the national currency
are destroyed, and that the committee certify
to the destruction in due form. Such a pro-
ceedure would elicit the applause Of an ad-
miring country, aud would purge conscientious
M. C.'s Of any suspicion of "shenannegan. -
While the bonds were burning the members
might be present, and, ranging themselves
around the fiery furnace, execute q chant after
the manner Of the witches in Macbeth, varying
the refrain TO suit the circumstances of the
case. This would add zest to the occasion, and
tend 10 make it memorable.

SIR EDWIN LANDsEER, who died a
a few days since in England, was for
forty-fve years prominently before the
art world as the first artist of his class
Many of his best sketches were gifts to
the late Duchess of Bedford, at whose
beautiful seat, The Doune, Scotland,
he was accustomed to spend large
part of each autumn. Indeed, it SEEM
ed to be understood that had he chosen
to say the word, he might have become
the husband of the duchess but the
marriage would have been unacceptable
to her children, and he refrained. He
never married. He was often accused,
says a writer in the New York Times,
of the English foible of fondness for
fire company. But in his case the ex-
clse that CHARLES ii. made for him
self-viz, that the women all ran after
him more than he after them-was
true as regarded his fine friends; and
when a man finds himself an honored
and much-sought-for guest in the splen-
did homes of dukes and earls, where
art, splendor, and intellect are to be
found, it is pardonable if especially
when his natural bias particularly leads
him to appreciate the beautiful in all its
forms, he shows a tendency to frequent
places where especially he finds it. In
conversation he was very agreeable,
and told story particularly well.

SALMON SPAWNING ON THE SACRA-
MENro.-lf you visit this region during
the last of June or in July. you may
watch the salmon spawning, a most
curious and remarkable sight. The
great fish then leave the deep pools in
which they have been quietly lying for
some weeks before, and fearlessly run
up on the shallow ripples. Here, ami
mated by kind of fury, they beat the
sand off the shoals with their tails, un-
til often female salmon thus labors
till her tail fins are entirely worn off.
She then deposits her eggs upon the
coarse gravel and the greedy trout, who
are extravagantly fond of salmon eggs,
rush up to eat them as the poor mother
lays them. They are, 1 believe, watch
ed and hatched and beaten off the male
salmon, which accompanies the female
for this purpose. When the female
salmon has deposited her eggs, and the
male salmon has done his part of the
work, the two often bring stones of
COllSlueTdUlt Size III licll AlOutHo "
cover up the eggs, and protect them
from the predatory attacks of the trout.
And thereupon, according to the uni
versal testimony of the fisherman of
these waters, the salmon dies. was
assured that the dead bodies often cum
Der the shore after the spawning season
is over; and the mountaineers all as
sert that the salmon, having once
spawned up here, does not go down to
the ocean again. They hold that the
young salmon stay in the upper waters
for year, and 60 to sea about eighteen
months after Matching; and it is not
uncommon, l believe, for fishermen
hereabout to catch grilse weighing from
two to four pounds. These bite some
times at the fly. The salmon bite, too,
when much smaller, for l caught one
day young salmon not more six inches
long. This little fellow was taken with
bait of salmon eggs, and his bright
silvery sides made him quite different
from the trout which I was catching
out the same pool. His head also had
something of the fierce, predatory,
hawk-like form which the older sal
mons has.-Harper's Magazine.

OvER-REAcHING IN HoRsEs.-This
unpleasant noise, known also by the
name of clicking" arises from the toe
of the hind-foot knocking against the
shoe of the fore-foot. In trot, one
fore-leg and the opposite hind-leg are
first lifted from the ground and moved
forward, the other fore-leg and the op-
posite hind-leg remaining fixed; but to
keep the centre of gravity within the
base, and as the stride or space passed
over by these legs is often greater than
the distance between the fore and hind
feet, it is necessary that the fore-feet
should be moved alternately out of the
way of the hind-feet to descend. Let
the smith shoe your horse behind as
usual-no clipping, rasping, or short
ening beyond what is usual; but, to
prevent clicking, cut off the toe or crust
of the shell of the hoofs of the fore-feet,
placing the heel-calks in their proper
places, and you will have no clicking.
