Two stories About the Fiendish office
seeker.

washington Cor. Louisville Courier Journal
There are a number OF applicants here who
seek to fill the place occupied by the late
Judge Hays. One of the asplrants was In
Washington when he received the news OF
the vacancy at a late hour on the evening OF
Monday. About midnight a member of Con-
gress and his wife were aroused by thun-
dering rap at their door. A note was handed
to the half-awake member He read: Judge
Hays Ia dead; advise me promptly what
to do to secure the place" The answer was
Better not disturb the President tonight; it
would be little more decent to wait until
after the funeral" Such scrambles for office
are so disgusting that 1t Ia strange that gen.
tlemen will so demean themselves.
There Is a story told OF a man who was
promised the first vacancy In the Postoff1ce
Department. One day while lazlly saunter-
ing ar the river he saw dead man dragged
ashore. He looked at the face and
recognized clerk whom he had known In
the postoffiee. He ran all the way to the De-
partment, rushed into the presence of the
Postmaster General and demanded his ap-
pointment. Il only promised you place
when there wasa vacancy" There is one, !"
said the excited Individual. IT saw the dead
body of John Jones dragged out of the river"
Slowly the Postmaster General enunclated
the following words: "You are too late
One hour ago the place was given to the man
who saw John Jones when he fell into the
river"

VICTORIA AND PRINCE BERT.
Some Things Not Told in Sir Theodore Mar
tins Life Of the Prince Oonsort.
London Hour.1

Theodore Martin has omitted some OF the
minor episodes OF domestic life OF the Queen
and Prince Albert, which would, perhaps, have
cost him his spurs had he related them In his
Life of the Late Prince CoDsort" When the
august pair were first married, although the
match was one OF love. ut least on the Queens
part, her Majesty could not always control her
temper, and on the occasion OF one OF those
trifling quarrels which occur even In the best
regulated families she threw teacup at the
Princes head. He, excessively indignant, re-
tired to his apartment and locked the door.
The Queens anger having somewhat abated,
she thought him sufficiently punished. and
knocked at his door. To the question, Who's
Queen" Prince Albert did not answer, and
she went away. By and by she thought she
would try again, and to the "Who's there2'
answered Victoria Again there was COM
plete silence, and she again retired. With the
perseverance characteristic of woman
alarmed at the trouble to come, she deter
mined to try third time, and In response to
the who's thsre2" replied, sobbingly. "Your
own loving wife," This brought Prince Albert
to terms, and peace was re-established. 1t Is
said there was no more teacup throwing In
the happy family.
Yet Victoria always remained an exacting
wife. and never allowed her spouse what
Ia boorgeojsement known as latchkey. AS
the Prince presided at many public dinners.
IL was often close to midnight before he could
ingly always storm to face for keeping
late hours" Finally, the Queen ordered the
castle gates to be closed at 10 80 p. m, and
the now much monumented husband was
locked out Ii he happened to be behind time.
Prince Albert was thoroughly stingy, and
was cordially disiiked by the servants OF the
royal household. Heruthlessly abolished all
the perqulsites which, from long custom,
they considered themselves entitled to. He
went 30 far as to confiscate the money they

candles used to illuminate the ball and con-
cert rooms. Even In the houses of the smaller
gentry the servants are accustomed to re-
fresh with cold meat and beer any of their
friends or the tradesmen calling during the
day. At Buckingham Palace the same GUS
tom prevailed. This, however, was too much
for the Princes German ideas OF frugality,
and he ordered the servants to be placed on
board wages, 30 that any hospitality they
wished to show their friends had to be paid
for out of their own pockets. Little wonder,
then, that when he died the grief In the ser.
wants hall was not uncomfortable

The wolf had thrown itself upon him,
torn him with its horrjd teeth, and, after
a terrible struggle with his adversary,
the marquis was on the point Of falling
it's victim. Nicholas rushed at the fero.

his ak, cut off one of his paws. The
wolf, furious at his new enemy, turned
upon him to avenge his wound. He
leaped upon Nicholas. Frank threw him
self upon tn he VOLTS back and bound his
arms tight about its neck to strangle it..
The wolf fell to the ground, Nicholas
under him. His hatchet fell from his

10 the Editor Of the Capitolian

that you have published the protests of
Messrs. Graham, Strong and Gunby
giving their reasons to the public for
the course pursued by them at the meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors.
thought the public entitled to the
proceedings of the Board, and, as you
published them, l, for one, was willing
to stand my share of whatever respon-
sibility might attach to such actions; ;
but, as these gentlemen have thought it
their duty to give the public reasons for
their acts, and in doing so, have char
acterized the acts Of the majority as
"Wrong, unjust, unprecedented injus.
tice without notice, etc., ETC." l think
it but just to the majority that at least
some reason through the same channel
should be given to the public for their
action in the premises.
During the last session of the Legis
lature, Mr.. Leake introduced an act on.
titled, "An act to reorgaai-e the Louis.
"iana University and Agricultural and
Mechanical College" This act pro-
posed complete reorganization, and
after very full investigation and the
presentation Of many memorials pro and
con, and through which Col. Boyd was
fully represented, the Senate, by vote
of 81 to 10, decided that reorganization
was necessary to the welfare Of this in
stitution. 1t was stated upon the floor
of the Senate that unless there was
a reorganization the college would be
compelled to close it's doors, and you will
remember that Gen. Graham, a strong
friend and advocate Of Col. Boyd, stated
before the Board that ne came to- that
meeting under the firm conviction that
we would have to close the doors of the
institution. You will find by the Senate
journal, page 2O3, that l opposed this
bill. ! did SO with all the ability l had,
because l did not believe all that was
said against the management Of Col
Boyd; and further, under the law the
Board Of Supervisors are clothed with
full powers, and my impression was
that if such radical measures were ne
cessary it should be inaugurated by the
Board, for they were responsible to the
State for it's conduct; and thus believ
ing, opposed the bill, Notwithstanding
the evidence that convinced q Senators
that reorganization ought to be had.
When the Board met on the 25th O.
June, we went into what considered ;
very patient and impartial investiga
ton of the affairs of this institution
and finding the. University before tn
consolidation in debt over 100000 which
was under Col. Boyds management, ant
the present institution about $4,000 j,
debt, with some $4,000 due by cadets
made or allowed to be made by him
right in tho face and in riolation of al
order of the Board Of Supervisors reguir
ing him to discharge cadets or com
pei payment, thus following on tn
same line Of the University going int
debt, We were, in my opinion, forced t.
the conclusion that reorganization
was absolutely necessary to the life Q
