The new secretary, Chandler, received
calls from prominent persons on the goth.
Among the first callers was Col. John
y. Mosby, Of Virginia. The Secretary
said that when he left Michigan for WASH
jngton he had no more idea OF being in
yitcd to a seat in the Cabinet than Of
going to heaven, Eliah-like, in chariot
of fire. and that consequently he would
return home in the latter part of this

At length the Secretary of the Interior
has been appointed by President Grant.
Zach Chandler is his name. 1t is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Chandler was not ex-
tremely anxious to fill the position; but
as soon as he had signified his willingness
to be burdened with Man-afraid-of-his-
horses, Little Bad Man, and the rest of
the festive red men who are drinking
government whisky and watching, with
eagle eyes, the aggressive white man,
sent to Chief Justice Carter, OF the dis.
trict supreme court, to appear at the
White House. The Chief JUS
tice responded to the call from
the Presidential mansion and was re-
quested to swear in Zach Chandler,
which feat was accomplished, and the
ex-senator was resurrected from banish-
ment and stood nearer to the great heart
Of the Government. The Cabinet met,
and Zach was assigned chair at the
table Of the happy family. If Little Bad
Man attempts any more of his iandango
gymnastics around United States COM
missioners while Chandler is managing
the Black Hills horoscope, nothing short
of Presidential interference, based upon
arguments of divine amplitude will save
his savage and unkempt head If he has
grandfather in the happy grounds who
sprees around through the States like
King Phillip, assisting three-card monte
men at spiritual seances, it would be advis-
able for him to write to the aforesaid VEN
cradle and rowing spirit and tell him that |
he will slime" him in u heavenly war
dance in short time. Zach may be a
Republican as wild As Watterson's howl |
ihx raccoon, but he won't stand any nom
sense from Little Bad Man. A ponderOus
orsgoon will be ordered to cleave his ugly,
unwashed body in twain, and label 1t for
