Cut Down Their Salaries.

II the $4,000 or more of office hold
ers under the General government
can afford to stand, as they have long
done and now do, an assessment OF
five, ten, and in Presidential years
some fifteen per cent, upon their
salaries, does not this fact show that
their salaries are too large, and ought
at least to be cut down to the extent
of these campaign leyies2 BY this
disgraceful system the public treas
ury is made to supply the pecuniary
means of preventing or defeating the
popular will, through party machin-
cry and corrupt appliances. Let the
United States office holders in Maine,
who have just submitted to an assess
ment of five per cent, towards the
Republican corruption fund for the
current campaign, be among the first
to have their excessive salaries redu-
ced. Besides, the whole list of sala-
ried officers from the President down,
ought to be reduced one-half, indepen-
dent of the consideration just men
toned. For, has not the purchasing
po,cer Of the dollar DOUBLED within
few years? and ought not salaries
of officials, as well as the Wages oil

duced?-Standard.

The Late Queen of Holland,

count of his first visit to the late Queen
Of Holland. Upon our fir st formal
audience we were received In one of
the State Departments, fine salon,

with gilded furniture and wax candles /;
bu: when we were asked "to tea," it
was In her own private parlor that the
Queen entertained us, a charming
great room, with tropical plants grow

ties stood against the wall; easy-chairs
and little tables went wandering COM
fortably about the floor; and general
air of hcme-likeness pervadeo the spa
cious apartment, whose walls were
hung with interesting pictures, filled
with associations to the student of his
tory.
One evening, when we arrived, we
found the Queen reading Kinglake's
Invasion Of the Crimea," In which
she was greatly interested. His dra-
matte characterizations pleased her
particularly, and above all the hits at
her late uncle, Nicholas of Russia, who
as the writer observes, tried hard to be

Ferrets are the great resort of affiict-
ed farmers In England. Some men
make regular business going round
with them and giving rat infested
houses "run" In consideration of the
payment of a ten dollar bill. The fer
rets are rather expensive creatures,
costing about thirty dollars pair.
They are so long and slim and supple
that they can almost tie their own bod
les in knot and be crawling out OF 1t
again at one end before the knot at the
other end is completed. A medium
sized auger hole can be utilized by
them with ease, the only trouble being
that the augcr hole is apt TO be straIgt
and the lerrets used to doubling up and
arching their backs and going through
all sorts of strange cOnvulsions with
their bodies-as though to show of
their graceful curVes-would feel quite
lost in having 10 keep their straight
natural position, even though for the
space of one second. They are never
still minute, except, perhaps, when
they sleep, and then, like their nearest
cousin the weasel, they are apt to sleep
with their eyes open. Their life Is one
of continuous and constant activity.
When they are not crawling into rat
holes at the bidding of an inexorable
master, they are at home in cages,
where they run to and fro like Lenned
up lions. Often the ferret is seen with
scratches on his nose or lacerations ON
the neck. These are the little remem-
brances of his encounters with his
natural enemy, the rat. The rat will
not fight ferret when he can get
away. The largest rat will run from
them. They can smell them long be-
fore they can see them, and that 10 the
signal for them to fly or remain and
die subterranean and ignoble death.
Young rats in nests are at the ferrcts-
mercy, and the ferrets are not slow TO
show them such mercy as their craving
stomachs afford. They do not eat the
flesh. They insert their teeth and,
weazle-likes suck all the blood out OF
their bodies, then leave them. This Is
the great point ferret men make over
the modern style OF getting rid Of rats
by poison. They cry down the poison
system and declare that by killing rats
In that manner, life in house about
which the rats perish is rendered al
most intolerable by the stencil their de-
caying carcasses create. By killing
them with ferrets this is avoided, they
claiSl, for the latter take all the blood
from them and the carcasses, insteado of
decaying, dry up. After all, the ferrets
are doing more than is generally
expected of them when they kill grown
rats. Their principal use is to drive
the vermin from their holes up to the
light of day, where Scotch terriers and
nets and clubs in the hands of the fer
rets' masters do the rest.
