From statistics regarding the distribution uf
the fora Of Europe, the curious conclusion Is
reached that those plants having aec1s ar fruit
with special appendagcs to aitl In their dtspcr-

tlDn Is In the case of ecetls provided with tuft

About Decorating the Confederate
Graves.

BALTIMORE, May 21.-At a meet,
ing of the Grand Army of the Re-
public tonight. General Tyler pre-
siding, the question of the decoration
of the graves of the Confederate
soldiers on Memorial Day was
brought up, and the following reso-
luton, proposed by General Felix
Angus, was adopted:
Resolved, That while the Grand
Army If the Republic accords to all
its members the sacred right of their
opinions, yet, as an organization, it
cannot he party to anything politi-
Cal or tending thereto, and under its
rules and regulations, as members, we
cannot as body decorate the graves
Of any but the Union 1ea6 on Me-
mortal Day; but, nevertheless, we
will respect the action of any mem
bers, individually, decorating the
graves of the Confederate dead.

President Hayes an enatoi
Blaine.
en8t,,r

WASHINGTON, May 22th.-Senatnr
Blaine had another interview to-day
with the President on political mat
tiers, SO far as they relate to the APP
pointment of one or two persons t.
office, and the retention of others.
1t is Il ticed that thus tar he has been
favored in that respect quite rs much
AS other Republican Senators. He
will leave Washington in day or
two not to return till the October ses-
sion. Blaine states that he never au-
thorized the denial of the dispatch
that he had quite IA long interview
with the President "a week ago. %
the contrary he remained with him
two hours and dined at the Execu
tive Mansion. The President and
himself have always been personally
the best of friends, but politically
the Senator's views of the policy Of
the Administration are SO well known
as not to need repetition to the Presi-
dent or public. He has never for a
moment had any faith IN the wisdom
of that policy.

PENSION AGENCIES.

THE President takes long step
in the direction Of civil service re-.
form in adopting Secretary Schurz's
plan for the REIMBURSEMENT OF the
cumbrous machinery of the pension
agencies. Few people have any
idea Of the unnecessary expense at-
tending the administration of this
branch of the public business. 1t
was recently stated that there IS
appropriated annually for this SER
vice nearly $4,000, 900 more than
the yearly expenditures Of the whole
government prior to the Mexican
war. Thore have been sixty-eight
pension agents. whose services
have cost the government nearly
$500, 900 annually, some of them re-
ceiving as high as $4,000 year.
IL some of the larger cities salaries
and fees amount to S3u,UoO or
$4,000 q year. The order now 49,
sued by the President. in default OF
reform legislation, reduces the num-
Der of agents more than one-half by
the consolidation OF districts. The
pensioner is not thereby inconveni-
enced in any degree, since the
work of the agents consists simply
in sending from the local Office to
the residence Of the pensioncr a
voucher by mail. and it is returned
by the latter. when check is drawn
on the sub-treasury and transmitted
to its destination, also by mail.
The next step in the reform OF the
pension system will probably be
the reduction of the amount OF fees.
and in the end the whole pension
business may be transacted at
Washington.
