The expense and unproftableness of many
legislative investigations is illustrated by the
experience of committee of Senators ap-
pointed at the last session Of the Minnesota
Legislature to look into the affairs of the
State insane asylum. The committee spent
pretty much all last summer pursuing their
inquiries, and thought that they had un-
earthed deficit of over $4,000 in the accounts
of Rev. Mr.. Kerr, who looked after the fl.
nances of the institution. The matter was
turned over to experts, who found careless
ness and lack OF scientific bookkeeping, but
were able to trace all but 1878 of $1,5OO,OOO
expended in a period extending over II years.
Now the committee brings in bill of nearly
$4,000, the cost of freeing this small game.
But, as only $4oO was appropriated for the
whole investigation, and the Senators charge
a good round sum for their services, there is
natural disposition to chaff them, If moth
ing more, especially as some of them have
been loud in their denunciation of the bills
run up by the trustees of the insane asylum.

The reason why the Democrats of the
Potter Committee made two reports, one on
the electors and the other on the cipher dis
patches, is that there:was great difficulty in
getting the Democrats to agree on the pro-
posed report on the ciphers. The report on
the elections in Florida and Louisiana, which
it is understood was written by the chairman
Mr.. Potter, was at once accepted and unani-
mously agreed to by the Democrats of the
committee. The report on the cipher de-
spatches was not easily agreed to, and there
are rumors OF an EXTREMITY lively discussion
on this subject of the cphers in the commit
tee room. the Democrats finding themselves
for time at loggerheads with each other.

A Day in the Boston Of the Future Boston:
w. b. Clarke; Portland: Loring. Short & Har-
mon) is vivacious and good-tempered satire,
illustrated with many comic sketches BY the
author, Mr. James S. Goodwin. At present
Boston seems unanimously elected court jester
for the nstion-or rather, to speak more ex-
actly, not witty itself, it has become the cause
OF wit in others. For every newspaper now
contains jasts upon the peculiarities of Boston,
and its really solid and powerful qualities are
lost to sight in the cloud of arrows aimed at the
weak points in its armor. Mr.. Goodwin makes
some amusing points, and enforces them with
sketches even funDier. Written especially for
the enjoyment of congenial club circle, it will
also be enjoyed by the many Portland friends of
Mr. Goodwin. The preface is brief but mystic,
true Orphic utterance of Boston, "trus COPY

and so forth? Has Mr.. Goodwin made fresh
decoction of the old pun, "Thou tea-cbestl'

story, the thread of which is just strong
enough to biod the sheaves of wheat and tie up

is obliged to say the thread, not the rope of a

book will be Of great interest to farmers, who
already begin to think of their spring work,
and from it they will derive some good hints and
much entertainment. 1t is in pamphlet form,

In the Harper's versatile and valuable little
Half Hour series are recently published:
Stories from Virgil, by Rev. Alfred j. Church,
whose stories from Homer are too fresh in the
remembrance of rea ders for him to need praise
of his pure and poetic style, and artistic selec-
ton from tire many-worded ancients. The
story Of Ulysses, by Charles Lamb, is of much
less merit than the work of Mr.. Church, for
its style is affected and sometimes cockney;
and the swift light movement of the olden
story is marred by sowness and quaintness
of speech that are alien to it. Afghanistan is
an interesting sketch of the seat of war by Mr..
A. G. Constable; and a volume of Golismith's
Poems; and very weak and silly story. The
Awakening, by Mrs. Macquaid, completes the
latest list of Half Hour volumes. 1t may be
here darkly limited that the publisher intended
to supply volume for each half-hour of q
mans life, reckoning upon the basis of Methu-
saleh. portland: Loring, Short & Harmony
