The investigating business now prose-
cuted at Washington with so much vigor
and on SO large scale bids fair to beget
new species Of national industry.
Whenever an impecunious editor, or
correspondent, or hummer of any de-
gree, becomes desirous of visiting the
National Capital and of looking in upon
Congress, and paying his respects to the
Centennial, ne is seized with weird
utterances and mysterious givings-out
about the iniquities OF some distin-
guished parties under investigation.
Anon comes subpoena from the COM
mittee, commanding him to appear forth
with and true testimony give touching
the matter now at issue before them.
The impecunious parsonage goes, and he
stays. He gets paid for going and for
staying. He sees everything, and tells
nothing. The committee grant him GER
tlhcate or warrant for drawing his CON-
pensation, and he returns gladder and
a wiser man. In the Spencer inyestiga-
ton case from eighty to one hundred
witnesses are already subpenaed to tes-
tify before the Senate Committee; and
not one in ten Of those witnesses will be
able to enlighten the Committee one par
ticle. But then they can visit Washing
ton and get paid for 1t, all the same.

In regard to their ticket is, that it is made
in the interest Of the hummer element OF

toire dun sous-maitre, or "The
History of an Under-Boss," il
may SO translate the term. M.

pages, and took them away with

appeared in the next number OF the
Review. and he was forced to go on
with the work, then bfrely COM
menced. After the war. in the

the History of a Pleblscite, the
cause of the present troubles.
Emile Erckmann is a fat, good
natured country gentleman, fond
of a quiet life, a glass Of beer ana
his porcelain pipe. He is rather
German than French in his appear
ance and habits. He is unmarried,
but has many relatives at Phals-
bourg. Chatrian is married, has
cottage at Raincy, near the city,
three children left ont of five, and
about a dozen dogs. He is a great
hunter before the Lord, and ex-
tremely fond of a days shooting,
as Erckmann was before he became
too fat and heavy to walk. Chatrian
keeps open house at Raincy, and
most all the literary men of Paris

with him and to enjoy the spectacle
of the calm, gros Erckmann tran
gully smoking his pipe. The cot
tage is like those described in the
books of the authors. 1t has two
stories, and is shaded by fine trees.
The parlor is on the ground floor,
and IS furnished with old, massive
oak chairs and tables, described in
all the authors romances. Upon
the walls hang a few engrayings
Next to it is a large and comfort

room and the trou bleu, or The

mann aud Chatrian lived in Pari
together, but in different apart
ments. But they were general,
seen every evening before a caf,
opposite Saint Lazare, rue Sain
Denis, where, with innumerAblt
glasses Of book beer before them
the work Of the day was discussed
and arranged. Their manner 0
working is evident from the char
acter Of the works, for they shoy
that Erckmann is the plodder, OF
as it were, the translator of Cha
} trian. The latter invents the plan
furnishes the idea, arranges th
framework, traces the character an,
physioguomies of the different per
sonages, and indicates the order t

, framework. When the task is con
pleted, Chatrian goes over it, max
, ing corrections and emendationS
after which Erckmann again take
up the pen, makes the modification
I, or not, as he pleases, though the
' are generally discussed in advance
, and thus gives the finishing touches
, This accounts for the unity of styl
, found in all their writings, an
which could not be attained in an
