new 1ocal"-that Is, new assistant.
The old one we had last week evinced al
most human Intelligence, but as a general
rule his time was so fully occupied In irving
to throw four skies against soma bar
keepers tray-full that we didn't receiys
much benefit from his labors. We can't

Inc other day man who had once been
treasurer OF the Uni ed States, applied to
General Spinner the present incumbent of
that office, for ah appointment as messen-
ger. There is just a touch of the pathetic
IN the TACT, and 1t is apt 10 call up the pic
ture OF Richard Cromwell sitting, an un-
known and unnotjesd spectator in the gal
lery of the English Parliament, after hay-
ing been, for brief time, at least, the more
than King Of the realm; or, of James
Monroe, earning q meagre support as
Justice OF the peace, after having been
President of the United States But
1t would be more sanitary 10 reflect on the
conditions of our political system that make
cases like that ofthe ex-treasurer possible.
1t is tolerably well established that there is
nothing which so units man for the duty
OF supporting himself as the holding Of
public office. Yetit is our custom to pu!
man IN sn Office, keep h m there until he is
good for nothing else, land then turn him into
the word to be come burden to bis rela-

young lady's hair the other evening. "Miss
D, please give me one little curl-just
one, wont you." he pleaded. "Couldn't
think OF it, Mr. -, couldn't think of it

darling, he'd put himself outside the con-
tents of paper he took out of his vest
pocket, and which he said was ''cold pizen."
The maiden screamed, dashed forward,
grasped Tbs paper aforesaid, and then told
the infatuated youth that she "couldn't see
it" Then look of grim despair settled
upon that young mans classic brow, he
babe the cruel maiden farewell, and darted
of towards The railroad bridge with the
avowed intention Of throwing himself of,
since life had, for him, lost all its attrac-
lions. But here again he was banked of
ais purpose, for couple Of his friends
FASTENED on the wings of affection ard along
North Market street, intercepted him in his
wild career and brought him back to the
louse he had just Quilted so abruptly. !
