WASHINGTON NOTES.

a Washington newspaper is authority
for the statement that an effort will be made
in Congress this winter to suspend the naviga-
ton laws for several years, in order that for
eign-brilt ships may be registered and sail I'M,
der the American flag. The plan is to make an
experiment for fixed time.
The President has received from the
Queen of England present of handsome
desk made out of the timber Of the British ship
Resolute, lost in the Arctic seas, and rescued
by the American expedition.
The Indian Bureau last year cost the
Government IS, 147, $50; the War Department
S17,74O,SS7.
Gen. Walker, Superintendent Of the
Census, has ordered second investigation of
the South Carolina census. Neither the Presi-
dent, Secretary Schurz nor Superintendent
Walker believes the census to have been stuffed
or fraudulent, but they are aware, from inter-
views with Northern members of Congress,
that, unless there is the most thorough and
searching investigation. it will be almost 0
hopeless task to try and make appointments
uluSr the recent cenSuS. 1ne ciaLlOT on the
subject came mainly from New England.
There is pretty general feeling that

session of Congress-one similar in tenor to

the time of the bond should be shorter.
The estimates for the executive de-
partments of the public service for the next
fiscal year aggregate $14.536. 4O4.23.

publican Association of New York waited on

lation on his election, in which they dwelt on
his utterances and previous attitude on civil
service reform and the danger
to the safety of the republic arising from the
spoils system. Gen. Garfield in reply ex-
pressed hope that all routine appointments

prived Of all power to remove faithful and
lcapahle employees during his term Of Office.

Cost Of Royalty.
The Philadelphia Times sums up the
various amounts absorbed by the Euro
pean rulers of the present day:


Total .S43, 4,l6l
These vast sums, as far as can be as
certained, are the amounts actually and
personally absorbed by royalty in Eu-
rope-With the republican exceptions of
France and Switzerland. From the i'm
possibility of ascertaining the exact dis
bursements for such purposes, only five
out of the twenty-five states comprising
the present German empire are set down
in the above statement.
1t will be perceived that, if Europe
has the fancy Of being governed by EN-
perors, Kings, Princes and Grand
Dukes, it costs a great deal to carry
that fancy into actual operation. The
highly-paid magnates, who ought to be
the dependents and utility people in the
great political drama of political govern
ment, have increasingly proceeded, dur
ing the centuries, to make themselves
masters instead Of servitors of the peo-
pie. Single families have thus absorbed
the property of the people, whom they
seem to regard as serfs. From royal
lips and royal pens these ever are words
of ownership-such as "my people"
"my army" and "my navy, "my pal
aces" and "my interests.

Lord MacauIay.

His was memory Of stupendous feats,
and also an intelligent instrument and
servant. He could not only remember
what was useful, what he wanted to re-
member, but what was utterly worthless,
what entered his mind by accident, what
was read by the eyes only, scarcely en-
tering into the mind. IF, on one occa~
sion, he repeated to himself the whole of
Paradise Lost while crossing the
Irish Channel, on another, waiting in a
Cambridge cofee-house for post-chaise.
he picked up a country newspaper con-
tanning two poetical pieces-one ere
Elections of an Exile" and the other "a
Parody on Welsh Ballad" -looked
them once through, never gave them a
further thought for forty years, and then
repeated them without the change of q
single word The readers of his Life"
will remember that his memory retained
pages Of trashy novels read once in his
youth. In fact, in way Of speaking, he
forgot nothing. AS has been well said,
his mind, like a dredging net at the
bottom Of the sea, took up all that it en-
countered, both bad and good, nor ever
seemed to feel the burden i'm this diff
fering from Bolingbroke. We have
spoken of disproportionate memories.
His we cannot but think case in point.
He would have been fairer historian if
he could have forgotten some things-if
his early impressions had SO faded that
they could have given place to, or at least
been modified by, new ones. In their
vivid strength they stood in the way of
judgment. -Btockwood'e Magazine.
