POLITICAL POINTS.

A Washington dispatch Of Oct. 25
says: "Edwin d. Morgan has declined the
treasury portfolio. Judge Folger is holding .
consultation with several OF the Presidents
personal friends in New York. Attorney Gem
cral Macveagh has practically vacated his po-
sition by leaving for Philadelphia. Tho presi-
dent notified Cabinet members that he Was too
bnsy to see them, and informed Senator that
he would not prolong the session beyond
Thursday evening"
The Minnesota Legislature balloted
for Senator, Window receiving twenty-nine
votes ont Of thirty-sight in the Senate and
eighty-six out OF 100 in tho House.
Ex-Gov. Morgan, it is said, was
anxious to accept the secretarysbip OF the
Treasury but his wife and his physicians stren-
uously opposed his accepting, and they suo-
ceedcd in getting him to decline.
The facts in the case Of ex-Gov. Nor
gan's declination Of the position of Secretary
Of the Treasury are stated to be that, after lie
had accepted the offer Of the President, he
consulted physicians and his wife, and they, in
view of bis advanced years and the responsi.
bilties Of the Office, persuaded him to decline.

Although guerrilla, Mosby was .

take chances which he would not order
his men to take. He was in Washing

in Baltimore four or five times, and i'll
more than n dozen instances he pene-
trated the Federal lines for information.
Near Middletown he was once cut of

In both directions. When ordered to
surrender he drove his horse over the
stone wall and got away through the
fields. Three bullets pierced his cloth

Skllf,l Lock. Picking.

In the window of Messrs. Bramah's
shop in Piccadilly, London, had been
hanging for nearly half century pad
lock OF their ordinary make, to which
was appended a painted board, offering
a reward Of two hundred gnineas to any
one who would succeed in making an in-
strnment that would pick or open it.
The exact size OF this memorable lock
was as follows: Width. four inches;
thickness, one and a quarter inch; over
the boss, two and three. quarter inches.
The cylinder was two and quarter in
ches in length by one and half inch in
diameter. Negotiations were opened in
proper form, and an agreement was
drawn up, binding both parties to the
following conditions: The lock was to
be enclosed between two pieces Of wood,
and secured to wall in such position
that only the keyhole and the hasp were
accessible. The true key was to be
sealed up, and not used until Mr.. Hobbs
had either picked the lock or abandoned
his enterprise. An iron band, scaled by
himself, was to cover the keyhole when
he was not at work. Thirty days were
allotted him for the performance Of his
