Il would seem that IngeTson himself
would be forced 10 acknowledge the
truthfulness OF the following from the
New York Graphic, When great griefs
come, materialism has nothing to offer
for consolation. 1t is a naked sign-post
pointing the way only to hopelessness
and desolation. 1t believes in nothing
but what it sees, and it sees very little.
It is weakness itself il the face OF its
misery. Il resorts TO the qualification Of
the lower appetite to drown its sorrows,
and BY 50 doing buries itself deeper and
deeper in the slough Of despond AS it
scouts at prayer it destroys the only step
BY which the soul may lift itself up to
those high planes Of thought and feeling
whereby being becomes no longer the
slave Of earthly pleasure, and wherein
the world, the flesh and the devil are put
under foot. Without this state attained
permanent happiness is impossible"

LEGENDS"
The work OF the SeH First Auditor
OF the Treasury In Washington.

The new First Auditor Of the Treas
ury is cleaning the slate in The Office Of
the Legends that have grown into law.
a correspondent OF the Boston Herald
gives this recital Of his work: The
present Auditor MSS had lang and Sc
we're wrestle with what he calls ''the le-
genas@ OF the public service. Certain
usages drawn into precedent became
''legepds' Often they are without
warrant Of law. The first that Audito-
Reynolds met, when he csme into
ONES year An9 a half 20.
vas IAAi -, re salaries of Un..,,sd Stsies
judges and other nigh officials
began when they were nominated BY the
President. or, st least, when they were
confirmed by the Senate. He refused to
approve the account of one Of the Judges
on the bench of the Supreme Court Of
the District Of Columbia for salary from
the dsts OF his confirmation. The
Auditor iuSis ed that it should commence
from the day he took the oath OF Office.
and cited the law. which explicitly pro.
vldes that this shall be the method of
procedure. The precedent loving Treas
ury officers stood 2ghsst at this mani
festsuon Of an ianovatiug spirit They
cited pTecedents by the bushel. Chief
Justice Salmon P. Chase drew his salary
from the day he was nominated, and so
on through long list of lesser lights.
II was all Of no avail The law said
from the day OF taking the oath. The
judge himself, after looking st the law.
pronounced the Auditor right and the
legend faded sway. The lsw saws
that the CONTINGENT fund Of The Treasury
shall be dlsburSed upon the order Of the
Secretary OF the Treasury, and the Ger
u6cate Of the clerk, snd the
articles purchased are necessary, and
that the prices paid are reasona-
bic. A "legend" said the order
and certificate OF custodian" shall be
sufficient. The First Auditor refused to
approve such illegal accounts, and
brought about the recent Investigation
The legend and the custodian were
abolished together as a result thereof
Ths.e ate certain extraordinary allow
ances which can only be made By the
President The Supreme Court has de-
cided that in such matters a Cabinet
officer can act for the President. a
legend at once sPruag up 10 the effect
thai "a scung Cabinet officer can also
act for the President. 4 few DAYS since
such an account came before the Audi
tor. The allowance had been made by
an acting Secretary. He refused his ap.
proval Exit legend No. ,. If be

The Mountain Meadow massacre took
