AFTER A CONSULATE.
How n Patient West VirginIan Was Re-
eeived at the State Department..


The following amusing incident is re-
lated by prominent young Republican from
West Virginia who has keen sense of the ridicu-
louS, rich vein of humor, and fine intelligence.
This young man had been strongly Endorsed by
the leading Republicans of his State for a
position in the consular service. With his
gripSack stuffed with papers and letters set
ting forth his claims to consideration, such
as good character, talent, oratorical ability,
campaign services rendered, &c. he came to this city
in the early days of the present Administration
Immediately upon arrival he hied himself to the
State Department to remind Mr.. Blaine that West
Virginia had been "solid" for him in his Presi-
Dental contest, and now she wanted to be remem-
bered fol it. The Secretary promised the young
man an audience at a future date. Days and
weeks passed, but the future-dat promise seemed
to have been forgotten.
Strong in patience. but poor in pocket the gal
liant young Republican went to his home.
A few days ago he returned, and, to use his OWL
language, he proceeded to the Department to sec
what prospect there was for getting his grist
| ground.
He was ushered into the presence of the private
| secretary, Walker Blaine ESQ.,, and the following
interview took place;
"You folks are nicely fixed here. Is your father
at home?"
"Yes, sir; but he is engaged with the British
Minister"
Indeed! Is your father fond of Minister'S"
?. Sec" dom: exactly comprehend YOU"
Il mean do the Methodist. Presbyterian, and
Campbellite ministers visit much with your"
p. Sec.-'nMy dear sir you seem to be ignorant Of
our foreign relations"
az didn't know we had any foreign relations. ]
thought we were all Americans and run this
country TO suit ourselves"
P. Sec. becoming impatient-" Well, sir, what
can dc for yOu?"
You may tell your father that am here and
viii advise him as to the proper distribution OF
good consular appointments"
T. Sec-"My dear sir, permit me to say to you in
all kindness that the time of the Secretary is SO
absorbed hat he is unable to see many of his most
intimate, personal, and political friends"
you don't think he'll be disappointed at not
getting TO see me?"
P. Sec" hope not, Sir"
"Weil, hope not, too"
Then the young man was politely bowed to the
door; but he hesitated, and returned and said:
Gust one more request Mt. Private Secretary.
would like to take my papers from the pigeon
hole, dust them of, and return them. They
are nice clean papers, well written, on
good paper, and I want good care taken
of them. Don't handle them very often, not more
than once year. Read them atyery rare intervals,
as you would lot of old love-etters, just 10
mind you that l want to be a foreign relation, or
something of that kind. If the walking is good
will come again next fall and dust them up again
You are a nice young man, and viii bring you q
jug of cider and bag of apples. Good bye

ONLY,

Only picnic ground
Ormossy emerald hue
Grass and flowers around:
aucbter and song are borne on thebreeze,
T,rds make praise in the bending trees
Pleasure the whole day through.
Only a cuStard pie
Soft as a zephyr's kiss.
Light as a maiden's sigh.
Placed on that merry picnic ground
Lovers like lambs are strayiug around,
Lost in a sea ofbliss.
Only pair of pants.
White as the falling snow
Many maiden enchants-
Wrought of costly fabric fair
Doomed to a weird and wild despair;
Fated to deathless woe.
Only a sitting down
Ouly a smothered moan
Only painful frown-
o snOw-white pants and custard pie!
Heaven help thy mutual misery.
Since now thy charms be flown.
