TASTE or pUBIrC MONEY.
The Appropriation for Temporary Clerk Pay
Nearly Exhausted.

WASHINGTON, oct. i--For many years
past it has been customary for Congress to mako
an appropriation for temporary clerk pay in
the Treasury Department The theory on
which this appropriation was made Is that ire
quently the Treasury Department has to iur-
nish extraordinary statements to Congress ana
to do other work which, not being ioreseen. can
not be estimated for in the regular way. Tho
idea that If it is necessary at any time to have
performed this sort Of extraordinary worl, the
fund is there out OF which 20 pay for it, Under
several recent Administrations Of the Treasury
Department. notably that of Boutwell, this MP
preparation was largely used by the Secretary
out of which To pay additional salaries to -, T.
tain favOrite clerks IN the Secretary = Office. The
last Congress appropriated Tor temporary clerk
pay S5O00O. This APPROPRIATION beraine aVnii-
able on July |. 1877. II appears now that tn :
appropriation IS nearly exhausted: that it viii
not last beyond the present month. How pa q
this happenedY 1t seems that under this civil
service Administration appointme ms have br.n
made without any reference To- the needs Of the
service and these useless clerks have been paid
out OF the appropriation for temporary clerks
This is reform with u vengeance.

MEMPHIS TENN. TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 96 1871

bright-lOoking, muscular youth,
who SAYS that his home has always
been at Newburgh, New York, but
that both Of his parents being
dead, and having no relatives, he
left Newburgh about a month ago,
since which time he has tramped it
and stolen rides on railway cars,
until reaching Detroit he saw Bar
NUNS circus advertised and conclu-
ded to wait for its coming.
With the arrival of the show he
began negotiations which resulted
in the engagement, and yesterday
forenoon, in a leisure moment, he
stood watching the keepers as they
fed the animals. The monkeys,
hyena, giraffe and tigers had been
cared for, and the three large lions
which occupy one cage were eating
their rations when the keeper
stepped away a few feet to get some
water, leaving the cage door open
and young Marvin standing near
the door. The boys curiosity over
powered his caution, and he climbed
to the threshold.
Instantly one Of the lions sprang
at him, putting one of his massive
paws fiat upon the boys face, aud
closing his claws drew him forward
into the cage. In doing so the
beast tore the boys left cheek from
the corner of his mouth nearly to
his ear wide open. Then he culTed
him with his cruel claws upon the
right side Of the chin, tearing open
the flesh in a frightful manner.
All this time the boy struggled and
cried for help and the keeper came
to his rescue. AT the appearance OF
the keeper the lion rolled the boy
upon his stomach, and with one paw
upon his back held him there help
less, all the time showing his teeth
and roaring at the keeper who hes
itated about entering the van.
1t was only for an instant, however,
for, armed with a large revolver
and whip, the keeper jumped into
the cage, and striking the beast
over the nose, caused him to retreat,
releasing the boy. Young Marvin
was not long in getting out Of the
cage, and Immediately upon hi:
escape tainted entirely away and
purely from fright. The keeper
followed him, and closing the cage
left the lion to growl out his dissat.
isfaction at being thwarted.
Beside the bad wounds on the
boys face his right shoulder was
frightfully lacerated, five or si2
slight wounds was on his right
arm, while five large incisions, reg.
ularly placed on the left side of the
boys back, plainly marked the sizt
of the lions paw as he held his vic
tim.
