! General Spinner, the friend of women anG
the aged watch dog of the treasury, during
| the late raid on the department by an econO.
mical Congress, nOtonly stood firm, but came
off victorious. When the committee sent for
him, and very impertinently inquired how
many clerks he could spare from his bureau
he responded:
None, sir | have not one Supcrnumcrary
Indeed | have work-tcm;nine work-gentle,
men, for more"
When informed that it was necessary to cut
down his force, the Old gentleman waXed
wrOth.
"By-, gentlemen" hc cried, 81 take that
to be Il vote of censure know my business,
and by II have no drones in my hive,
therefore, ifyou resolve to cut down my force,
include me, for the President shall have my
resignation"
This bureau, however, did come under the
restriction and four females received legal
notice that their services were no longer
needed by that department. When this fact
reached the ears of old Spin, he called his
clerks, male and female, before him, and
said:
Fellows, an attempt by this Id beggar-
IT, mean Congress is being made to turn
some of you out. Now when they turn any
or you fellows out by - they turn me out.
But won't 60 No, dammisoul if | go a
step, nor shall you. The four notified TO quit
will continue their work. | take the respon-
sibiltity and I'll pay them out of the con.
science fund. 1t couldn't be put to a better
use Now, fellows, damyersouls, go to
work"
The mcn broke out into loud cheers and
the women burst into tears. Then a cheruby
little miss OF about sixty threw her arms hyster
really around him and kissed him. At this
all rushed at the benevolent old swearer, and
he was nearly sufocated, for the thermome-
ter stood at ninety.

THE Boss INTERVIEWER Th

THE Boss INTERvIEwER.-T The
champion interviewer lives in
Brooklyn. There are good many
of him, and he is remarkably lively
and healthy. He stopped a funeral
procession the other day. "See
here" said he to the manager of the
hearse, " give us just a moment, you
know" "What the deuce do you
want?" said the hearseman. "Your
opinion regarding the Beecher scan
dalv and the champion reporter
produced his book. $50 to the
-; go to Moulton," said the
hearseman, and he drove on. The
reporter was indignant, but he was
not to be intimidated. He followed
the procession to the grave. He in
terrupted the bearers in their mel
ancholy work. He asked the
mourners, Come, now, what do
you think of the Beecher scandal?"
They replied between sobs that he
must really let them alone, and why
in the name of propriety didn't he
go to the -, go to Moulton. for
instance? ~ think I never saw
such internal impudenoe before in
my life,' said the champion report

determined. 81 am the resurrec-"
began the minister. See here, :"
whispered the champion reporter,
softly tapping him on the shoulder.
- Business of Importance, old fell
low. 1 beg your pardon, but it ad-
mits. of no delay" "For heavens
sake" said the minister, "what is
it?'' :" It's the Beecher scandal"
said the champion reporter. ~ want
to know, you know" &" Sir"
interrupted the minister, for the
first, time filling out sentence often
begun and rarely concluded, "Go
TO the devil! And if you ever in
terrupt me again in these peculiar
exercises I'll thrash you within an
inch of your life!" And what does
the champion reporter say? Simply
that these ministers live too high
any how, and they're getting so they
can't answer so little a thing as
civil question.

ADVANTAGE OF CRYING. = A
French physician is out with a long
dissertation on the advantages of
groaning and crying in general, and
especially during operations. He
contends that groanlng and crying
are the two grand operations by
which nature allays anguish; that
those patients who give way to their
natural feelings more speedily re-
cover from accidents and operations
than those who suppose it unworthy
for man to betray such symptoms
of cowardiee as either to cry or
groan. He tells of man who re-
duced his pulse from 100 to 60 in
the course of two hours by giving
vent to his emotions. If people feel
at all unhappy about anything let
them go to their rooms and comfort
themselves with loud boohoo, and
thew will feel hundred per cent.
better afterwards. In accordance
with the above, the crying OF chill
dren should not be too greatly dis
couraged. If it is Systematically
suppressed, the result may be the
St. Vitus' dance, epileptic fits, or
some other disease of the nervous
sytem. What is natural is nearly
always useful, and nothing can be
more natural than the crying OF
children when anything occurs to
give them either physical or mental
pain. Probably most persons have
experienced the effects of tears re-
lieving great sorrow. 1t is even Gu
rious how the feelings are allayed
by free indulgence in groans and
sighs. Then let parents show more
indulgence to noisy bursts of grief
on the part of children as well as
persons, and regard the eyes and
mouth as safety valves through
which nature discharges her Surplus
steam.

SINGULAR SUICIDE.-A Frenchman
named Adolph Bisot committed sui
eide in a singular manner, at North
Bloomfield, Nevada county, CAL,
on the Sd instant. He placed a
blanket and pillow on the floor OF
his cabin and laid down on his
back and placed giant powder cat
ridge in his mouth, with fuse and
cap all prepared. He then touched
off the fuse, the cartridge was explod-
ed and the entire head was blown
into infinitessimal pieces.
