Selling CIerEshEps,

The Washington daily papers for some
time past have contained advertisements Offering
to obtain plaeesn the Departments at prices vary
ing from 800 to $780, The attention of the head of
Department being called to the matter ne directed
detective to investigated it, and it has been ascer
tained that one lady lobbyist made nearly, if not
quite, $1,000 last winter by obtaining the sigma
lures of CongreSsmen to applications for places by
persons represented by her to be her relatives but
who in fact paid her for the places thus obtained
In one instance the dismissal of a lady clerk was
obtained on the complaint that she had denounced
the administration, and young girl was put in
the vacant place whose friends paid 500 in cash
the day her appointment was signed.-Bcn: Perlcy

The Attempted Bribery at Albany.


The word of an upright and stable
merchant in the New York Legislature
has been pitted against that of an old
lobbyist, also a member, upon a
charge that the latter sought to bribe
the former. Bradley, the accuser, has
character without reproach ; Sessions, the
accused, was denounced in Tweed times
as corruptionist and legislative broker.
He was so damaged man after the
Albany exposures of his misconduct that
his presence at Washington for several
years following caused the defeat of his
brother, Walter, who was worthy and
upright member of Congress frcm the
Thirty-third District of New York. An
Independent candidate defeated him by
fifteen hundred majority in a district
where the Republican majority had been
seven thousand five hundred
The New York Tribune denounced Ses-
sions in the fiercest language for his cor
rupt practices and bribery of members of
the Legislature in the interest Of Tweed
in 1912. Bradley ran largely ahead of
his ticket last fall, and New Workers in
Washington say that hisreputation stands
as high as that of any man in his district
A prominent official here, resident of
New York, says that Bradley cannot be
bribed or made to lie. The accuser has
no witness to support his accusation; the
accused has no witness to sustain his de-
NAL. 1t is to be decided on the credibil-
ity Of the witnesses respectively. Those
who think it possible that a well-to-do
and highly reputable merchant would
wantonly invent so bold tale and make
oath to it to injure a fellow-member Will
say they do not believe him. So will
those who care not by what methods the
Railroad combination at
Albany succeeds.
On the other hand, those who believe
that Sessions, having been for twenty
years a lobbyist, would not now
scruple to carry the bag" for the
New York Central Railroad and bribe
the members who cannot be bought
by Robertson with places in the custom
house, will believe Bradley's fearful
charge and will say that the plea of "not
guilty" is the one usually made in such
cases.
The alacrity with which the rotten old
Tribune bitches itself on to the cause of
Sessions, who has so often been de-
nounced as a scoundrel in its columns,
only proves the total depravity Of that
once decent journal. The Times, being
devoted to reform in all its branches,
naturally affiliates with the side at
Albany which relies on bribery and cor
ruption for success.
The Administration has not yet been
heard from. If the felonious methods at
Albany are approved at the White
House we shall know it by the course
of certain persons who there represent
it. In view of the high market rate of
legislative votes on the senatorial ques-
ton, it will occur to most people that
Vanderbilt is very generous supporter
of the President or that he is willing to
pay a very high price for the defeat of
the Assembly bill now pending in the
Senate to create a railroad commission.
We shall see before the end comes
whether it is true that corruption wins
not more than honesty"

Half-Breed editors are bosterously exulting over
what they call 'the downfall of Conkling.' When
Senator Chandler was defeated six years ago by
boiling Half Breeds we think the Tribune half of
the Detroit Post and Tribune raised the same noisy
and malignant shout. But how did it set on the
stomachs of the Republicans who proved TO be

Cigarette Smoking.

The physicians in Philadelphia and
New York have begun a war on cigarette smoking
They declare that it is far more injurious to body
and mind than real tobacco, such as is found in
pipes, decent cigars, and chewing tobacco. But
then one comfort is that is impossible to do much
injury to the minds of most of those who make
cigarettes. They are usually of the style that
affects dissipation without the nerve to use the
real weed, or who lack the soul to appreciate the
comfort and consolation of an honest smoke

Sir Gardner Wilkinson affirms that
teeth stopped with gold have been found in
Egyptian mummies, and other learned gentlemen
hold vigorously that the thing is an impossibility
DR.. John Gaigor in the interesting discussion go
ing on in the British Medical Journal says thatin the
Etruscan Museum of Corneto, the ancient Tar
quinia of Etrurio, and few hours distance from
Rome, he has seen teeth in a skull bound together
by threads of gold cleverly twisted in and out
among them, and that he has seen the same thing
in museums in the Vatican and elsewhere. From
these facts he preSumes that it is quite probable
the ancient Egyptians had more or less skillfll
dentists His deduction is supported by gentle
man who is positive that he once saw in the
Meyer Museum, in Liverpool the jaw-bone of a
mumifed Egyptian in which number of teeth
were secured by golden wire 1t is also claimed
that the Hindoos, 600 years ago, knew something
about the art of binding teeth together that were
disposed to abandon each others company. Mr..
Briggs, in his " Rise and Fall of the Mohammedan
Power in India" describes a battle in which
Kootubood- Din, the famous general of Mohammed
Ghory who built the Kootub, q tower which rises
near Delhi to a height which makes it one ofthe
most beautiful wonders of the world, slew with an
arrow powerful rajah, whose corpse was after
ward identified, according to the writings of the
Fershta, by his artificial teeth, which were bound
together by wires of gold

New Use for n Barrel.

Captain James relates laughable incl
dent which came under his view at Palos VerdeS
few morning since. He was awakened by the
barking of his dogs, and, going to the window OF
his room, he looked out on the harbOr and saw q
ships beef barrel coming rapidly toward the shore
as if propelled by some mysterious power. He
hurried on his clothes, and as he was approaching
the beach he saw two men emerge from the water,
haul the barrel ashore, seize their clothes which
were inside the barrel, and scamper off into the
hills. They were deserting sailors from the Brit
ish ship Lady Head. They had carefully packed
their dunnage in the barrel fastened line around
it, and, each with end of spun yarn as traces in
his mouth, swan ashore, as team, with the bar
rel in tow The device was so ingenious and
novel that the men were too far off TO overhaul
before Captain James recovered from his surprise.
