proceeded to offer the Spanish mission TO
JoHN A. KAssoN of Iowa, and the Austrian
mission TO JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL of Mas
saohusetts. KAssoN. Shiny sort Of politi-
clan, who had rendered HAYES service in
communicating the fraud by which he was
installed as President, accepted his offer,
and was gazottcd accordingly; while Mr..
LOWELL, having no desire to live In Vienna,
declined the proposal Now, however, the
two are turned about. KAssoN IL sent TO
Austria. and LOWELL, whose soul loathcs
the grassy banks OF the blue Danube, Is
going to take delight in the sterile and
dusty shores of the exhausted Manzanarcs.
1t Is a surprise TO those not in the secret.
Tho reason for this transfer is found in
the discovery that KAssoN had done good
action a few years previous. II seems that
in 1870 he was member Of the Legislature
of Iowa, and as Chairman of the Committee

posts and for this reason and not from any
regard to fitness, Mr. LowELL gets this COM
pliment. Forty odd years ago WASHINGTON
IRVING was Minister to Spain; ANDREW
JOHNSON sent GEORGE BANCROFT to Berlin;
and GRANT appointed LoTHGoP MOTLEY to
London Yet the result Of these appoint
ments was not encouraging. In Mr.. In
WIGS time there was nothing to do In Spain,
and he gave us some delightful books as tile
fruit Of his residence in that country. In
Berlin, the most Important business COM
nitted to Mr.. BANcRoFr-the treaty affect
ing the rights OF Germans naturalizcd in
this country-was shockingly bunglel, and
remains shame to our diplomacy. Mr..
MOTLEY, though he had gained little pres
