The King In the Hospital.

Victor Emmanuel recently visited
one of the great public educational in
stitutions of Italy. OF course it has
an infirmary, which is a very pleasant
place for those who like to .shirk work
and e:joy dainty diet. The king
reached the institution Unexpectedly.
All the sick children were playing in
the gardens. A suave qui peut fol-
lows to the infirmary, and in their
hurry the invalids tumble each into
the nearest bed, without regard to the
card at its head, giving the name and

The king enters, prepared to display
his sympathy with the little sufferers,
and stops at the first bed:

"Giraldi, sire, l have broken my

A Joke on Belknap.

Belknap tells a good story ON HIM
self that will bear repeating. The at
fair occurred when the rural BOOSTERS
with their families were sightseeing
in Washington, after doing the Cen
tennial. He was riding homeward in
an omnibus-here called chariot
and found the only other occupants
were stout lady of go or Whereabouts,
and a younger slip of Is, evidently her
daughter. AS they turned from the
avenue into Seventeenth street the old
female party stuck her head through
window near the driver and screamed,
SHOW, driver, don't you fail to show
me Gen. Belknap's house,"
''Hush,'' said the man, ''he's in
there with you.''
"What do you say!
81 say, you deaf old FOOL reared
the man, in rage, ''that Gen. fBelk-
nap is in with yeu.''
The old lady, settling on her found
ations very abruptly, her broad ex-
panse of adipose, commonly called a
cOuntenance, was at first a blush. Then
look of curiosity, mingled with
amazement, stole out about her eyes
and spread like batter.cake on a
gIiddle over her face. She edged down
opposite the late secretary, and placing
her two hands on her corpulent knees,
she gazed at him for moment, and
then she gasped:
..Good gracious! and are you Gen.
Belknap!''
81 am, madam"
''Lord deliver us. Anna Marian, this
is Gen. Belknap."
Anna Marian, thus appealed to, turn
ed in on herself and made some des-
perate plunges at her consciousness,
but in vain. One could see that the
poor girl was reaching for her cOmpre-
hension but the old lady did not wait.
She continued:
land, Gen. Belknap, where do you
live-where is your house %
madam, l am on my way to my
house, and shall be glad to show you
both the inside and outside"
The old lady, with profusion Of
thanks, accepted the invitation, and.
arriving at the historic mansion, she
and Anna Marian, who was yet reach
ing, and seemed all the time on the
eve Of getting hold and then missing
it, were shown in. The furniture of
the drawing-room was packed in boxes
in the middle of the elegant room.
"And this is your palatial hOme,'
cried the elder female centennialist.
"Now, Anna Marian, it isn't a bit bet
ter than our n, is it e.
The poor girl made another reach on
her reason, but failed again, so she
only gasped and said nothing.
"Now, Gen. Belknap. will you show
us your dining-room =
The amiable gentleman conducted
the two to his dining-room.
"And this is where you had them

Wide.'
The baron groaned himself almost
to death while these things were being
put in; but in they went.
''Now," cried the giant, zone single
featEer-bed, three pillows, six pair Of
blankets, and dozen broOms.
All these went in.
ssNow.'' said Myvor to the still
groaning baron, s'the stocking is nearly
full. just put on top six well-flled
purses, one kite, one top, one marble,
one hoop, one pocket-knife, one box Of
candy, one bushel Of apples, two bush
els of ginger-cakes. and we'll call it
square,
When all these things had been put
on top, the baron gave final groan
that frightened all the horses.
"Now," said the giant to Mitchkin s
father and mother, whom he saw
among the crowd, stake your little
boy and go home. l will bring the
stocking. and l think you will have
enough to keep you comfortable until
next Christmas.
And SO they had.
As for Mitchkin he was very much
delighted, but he did wish that the
giant had played marbles when he was
a boy, so that he would have known
that one marble was of no use to any
body.
But this disappointment never
killed Mitchkin.

which arrived about tea-time, and the
local government was at once support
ed and order enforced: and, as the boy
went to bed without any supper, and
in custody of the troops, the throes Of
free people, struggling in the iron
grasp Of domestic despotism, could
be heard away down on the next
street, where the other boys were
lifting gates off their hinges and car
rying them down to the creek.

country shall play the fool third time

DROPPED HIM.

We admire the Democratic vim of our
friend Col. W. L, Brown, of the Youngs
town VindicatOr. Mr., Henry Flickinger
short time since secured the Democrat
ic denomination for Treasurer of that
county. Mr.. Flickinger was "Green-
backer," so-called, and at the late Green
back County convention there, was call
ed upon te define his position, when, as
the Star report says:
Mr.. Flickinger's voice rang out clearly.
Mr.. President--My Greenbackism has
been questioned by some here to-day. |
am Greenbacker, and will support The
nominees of this convention, and the State and
National conventions.
The declaration was short and deci-
sive. We give it word for word as it fell
from Mr.. Flickinger's lips. 1t is just as
he said it. The declaration elelectrified
the convention, and he was applauded to
the echo.
After this his name was dropped from
the FindicatOr, not, however, till Colonel
Brown sent him word that card would
be published from him to set himself
right if he was misrepresented. Mr.,
Flickinger refused the offer, thus iudica-
ting that he was correctly reported, and
that he was pledged to defeat the Demo
cratic ticket upon which he was candi-
date. Brown evidently wants things
straight, and not mixed or crooked.

The Congressional Committee appoin-
ted to investigate the management of
Federal offices in Louisiana, tell an in
teresting story of the New Orleans Gus
tom House, which is under the control of
Grants brother-in.law, Casey.
1t seems that about four months before
the time for holding the general cleo
tion, it has been the practice to place on
the Custom House rolls hundreds of
names as temporary laborers, and for
every name so entered the sum of S93
per month was taken from the United
States Treasury, Some of these names
represented political strikers who were
thus paid by the United States Govern
ment to assist in the work of fraud and
intimidation, by which an organized
band Of public plunderers, with the as
sistance Of Federal troops supplied by
President Grant, were enabled to retain
possession of the State Government of
Louisiana and the State funds, after they
had been defeated at the polls. Others
of the names were purely fictitious; but
salaries were paid on their account all
the same, the money being used for po.
lltical purposes, so that the plundered
people of Louisiana, among other tax
payers, were compelled to assist in sus-
tanning the very men who were engaged
in conspiracies against their rights and
property. In some instances actual for
gerry was resorted to, and one witness ap-
peared before the committee who had
been paid by the United States Govetm-
ment through the New Orleans Custom
House, the sum Of $93 per month fofpre-
pairing fraudulent registration papers. 1t
was proved that in two election districts
alone five hundred illegal votes were
polled on false registration papers which.
had been prepared at the expense of the
public treasury. The fact thatthe head
of tho Custom House is anear relative of
the President, and has been in the habit
of spending large ,parto of his time in
Washington, where he had frequent op-
portunities of consulting with his distin-
guished brother-in-law, gives peculiar
significance to these revelations. 1t is
understood that preparations are being
made for renewing these frauds on a
greater scale than ever in the approach
ing elections, and that United States
troops are to be extensively employed
in Louisiana to encourage and protect
the men who have heretofore robbed
the people ofthat State, and of the whole
country, in the interest of Grant and his
Louisiana supporters, and who propose
to continue the work for the benefit of
Packard, Hayes, Casey, Wheeler, and
the rest of them.
