Of the trouble between the whites and the In

class who more strongly condemn them Tie

Postmastcr-Gcneral JEWELL hu. always

Postmaster General JEWELL has always
expressed bis earnest desire to reform the abuses
exi. ting In the Post ONCE Department; to ex-
ttpatc the straw.bid system, aud to conduct
the rirairs Of the postal service on "a economi-
cal principles ~ judi,ious business man would
apply to the management Of his own concerns.
We have always attributed to Mr.. JEWELL tho
best Intentions, and, whenever the facts would
Justify, have cheerfuy called attention to his
enor to rectify abuses, Notwithstanding that
these efforts have not amounted to much, practl-
cally. The great trouble with Mr.. JEWELL, as
reformer. Is that he Ia deficient In backbone, and
though he would gladly see his department con-
Quoted honestly, II It could be done without Of
Tending the White House and influential kepub-
lican politicians he is not the man to make bold
determined onslaught upon thieves, without re-
gurl to consequences, ~ Secretary BRIsTOw has
done. This has teen shown In several instances
where. having taken really energetic measures
To punish rascals who had been defrauding the
public through the facilities afforded in his de-
y rtment, he ANONYMOUSLY weakened when he
discovered what "A powerful influence these ras-
Gals had to support them. Still we have alwaYs
had great hopes that Mr.. JEWELL would yet APP
uear before tie country "a n real rcformer; and
have believed that with sufficient moral support
he would some time attain that rank. Mr.
STONE Of Missouri mas introduced in the House
Of Representatives resolution calling Tor an ex-
tensivo and thorough examination Into the con-
dition Of the Post once Department, which has
been adopted, and Mr.. JEWELL processes an
earnest desire to assist IN correcting the notori-
Gus evils which exist In that branch Of the pub
lie service. This Is extremely encouraging Mr.
STONE Is a clear-headed business man who is
eniuently adapted for the work which he has
undertaken. and VIC predict that his committee,
If no other, will do their work In dead earnest.
He labored industrlously IN the last Congress TO
break up the great Postal Ring aud in ten min
utes lac can tell the Postmaster General more
about the rascallties prevailing In the Post
Once Department than Mr.. JEWELL would learn
from his most trusted fubordinates in ten
months. II MIR. JEWELL will only do M he says,
and give his aid to the work which Mr. STONE
has undertaken. he may yet stand a good chance
Of receiving the nomination for President on

The most absurd story is going the
rounds Of the Roman journals, which,
OF course, comes from Paris. Some
diplomates were talking about the
Oriental question. and one Of them ex-
pressed wonder as to what England
would do eventuallyin regard 70 Turkey.
The Persian Embassador said: ENG
land will do as the monkey did," The
Persian told how learned man Of the
good old times, wishing to test the power
OF maternal affection Ia a she monkey,
took one, with young monkey, and put
both in high, large tin box, which box
was placed over the fire, where 1t grad
ually heated. When the box began to
be hot the poor monkey seized the little
monkey In her arms and jumped and
danced about on the hot floor or the
box. At last the floor was 50 hot that
all her leaping was Of no use. Then
what did mother monkey do? She took
her baby monkey, put 1t down ON the
floor and stood on it! The poor little
fellow roasted, but her feet no longer
burned. UP to the present England has
shown mothers heart towards Turkey
but when the fire becomes intolerable
she will cook her young monkey

she took It into her head to study Turk

knowledge would be Of great advantage
to their trade, as the Turkish ladies

A most desperate duel took, place In
Crook City, last Tuesday, between
James Shannon and Thomas Moore,
both from the Missouri river. Moore
owed Shannon $50, which the latter was
eudeavoring to obtain from him. Moore
efthcr was unable to or would not pay
the money, when Shannon struck him
with his fists. Moore said he didn't fight
In that way, andShannon asked him II
he WAS armed Moore replied that he
was not, and Shannon told him to go
and fix himself. Moore retired to his
camp, and in short time came back
with q rifle, Shannon awaiting him on
the field with u revolver. Moore then
asked Shannon il he was ready, and the
latter replied that he was not, but would
be in few minutes. Within few
minutes Shannon returned with his
rifle. They faced each other, and Shan
non asked Moore IL he was ready
Moore made no reply, and Shannon
asked him again ii he was ready, and
again there was no reply. Shannon
then raised his rifle and took aim, as
also did Moore, and both discharged
their weapons simultaneously. Shan
non fell dead, shot through the heart,
and Moore had very narrow escape,
Shannon's bullet grazing the top of his
head. The jury returned q verdict OF
justifiable homicide.

The belief of the public In the street
beggars Of the metropolis has received
another rough shock Not many weeks
ago the story wtls told OF foreigner
who. though his head and face weredlS-
Q,,jsed so that they should be suggestive
of patient suffering and better days,
turned ont to be q us1rer, ana whose
sole grief W hen led off to prison, was
not that he had deceived the charfta-
BILE. but that hts business rs q loan
monger would suffer during his tempo
rary incarceration. Thomas Snelilng,
"a cripple who .drags himself ABOUT the
streets on his hands and knees. is the
fresh example Of cadging duplicity,
thouglrit Is only fair to him to say that
he has maintained the traditions OF
folly sbeggdrdom" better than the
alien mentioned above. Unlike the
maiden i'm the ballad whose pretty Taco
was her fortune, Thomas Smelling, Well
knownSto all who walk In the thorough
fares Of the West End, finds his mis-.
shapen frame and limbs the source of
his Income. That this Income Is no
small one may be gathered from the
fact which has been proved, according
to Detective Dea, OF the z DIVISION
that it amounted to as much as % a
week on an average rather more than
twice the stipend OF the average curate
or city clerk. i4g ,.s,
One. day he was having very good
time In Oxford street, when an officer
OF the Mendicity Society cut his career
short by giving him into custody.
Thanks to the ensuing publicity OF the
police court we learn facts about his
former career that probably would
otherwise have never been known.
Some time ago il seems his sad appear
ance SO touched the heart OF the Mar
duis Townshend that he supplied him
with donkey and cart. But to earn
G5 week or anything like that sum
with donkey cart Is not the lot Of an
able bodied man, much less OF a de-
formed dwarf, and Smelling soon re-
turned to his old painful looking pro-
crosses along the West End streets.
1t may have been observed, however,
that these are never made on the Sun
day. The Sabbath Is sacred to the de-
lectation of the Smelling family, and 1t
really goes far to disarm ones anger
when It is known that on this day
Thomas, having hired horse and trap.
Snellings, what the policeman witness
feeliugly spoke OF us a-p pleasuring. There
will be no more of these family jaunts for
month: for till the 18th OF August
the father who provided the treat has
been confined to one Of the metropolitan
jails he probably never helped to sup.
port out of his income. When removed
from the bar the prisoner pulled out sew
eral haudfuls OF silver and bronze
money, and gave the whole to his wife,
saying +" Take care OF this" This
lavish conduct was at any rate prefera-
BILE to that OF the foreign beggar, who
was taken away wailing over the money
he would lose. Il Advertiser.a h.t@

Senator Morton, being uxorious and

horrorsfricken with the idea OF sending
a bachelor to the White House, and call
