he descants upon them; he tells their many
virtues aud growth TO the officers OF the
State Department which In conjunction
with the White House he Is now laying
siege to- he first appeared here four years
ago he had done little campaign work for
the Republicans in Missouri and expected TO
get q first class consulate. To go abroad Is his
hobby. He labored for one year and told daily
the story Of what he had done and how good

least sign of daylight He was then given a

he arrived at his post he was taken with the
chagres fever. The fever kept hold OF him for
three months As soon as he got sufficiently
well he came right back TO Washington. He
looked as yellow as pumpkin and blasphemed
alarmlngly. He would not go back,
and SO another man was sent down
70 be victim to the chagres fever.
But he must have something. His
eminent services and his ten small but good
children demanded it. Mr.. Evarts, 20 get rid
OF him, sent him TO the Fill Islands as United
States Consul He remained there quite
time He resppeared in Washington the other
week, and IS now wanting better place in the
consular service. He has already made known
his services and the existence of the ten small
children to President Garfield and Secretary
Blaine. He hangs on. He got his other posi-

see him nominated for a pretty good place in
the consular service. Nearly everybody knows
and laughs at him. but he just keeps right
ahead. There is bat one Mrs Van Lewes aud
buto Lazarre in these United States.
UNITED STATES MARsHALs.
The office Of United States Marshal seems to
be one In great desire all over the country.
More people make break for 1t than for any
office under the Federal patronage The saia
~ is not more than 500 year, but there are
Opportunities me boy The present incum-
bents of these offices are well up in the infor-
nation that there are thousands OF patriots
who would like to draw the emoluments which
now come into their Golfers. The result is shown
in the large number of u. s. Marshals who are
in the city. They came by the 9TH and have
not gone away yet. They came to pay partic
ular attention 20 those who are after their
places and to urge their claims for retention.
They say they intend to stay for awhile yet,
although the President has said that he intends
to make no changes right away, but only flll
vacancies. They want to be on the safe side
IL possible.
HOW MALONE TOOK 1T.
Senator Malone, OF Virginia is certainly a
remarkable man. He has certainly jumped
into prominence quicker than the majority Of

vain or childish. But he Is certainly one or
the other. or both. This bouquet which Garfield
sent him and the many fingers In the gallery
of the Senate which now point him out as a
man who is worth looking upon have turned
his head. Much notoriety hath made him
mad. Il was truly amusing to watch him to-
day and listen to his conversation with those
who crowded around him. $50 created big
sensation, did 1! he would inquire What do the
papers say about it?" They have got long
accounts, have theyG" ''All sorts OF things
are said about me- Everybody seems to
talk and write about Mahone." II will be the
best known man in America IL they keep on
this way" And SO on his twitter and
childish talk. One would think that he was
young girl just budding, whose name had for
the first time appeared in the country news
paper as "among those present" at an annual
ball. By the way Malone used to wear an old
slouch hat black as to color. He now blooms
forth in a white slouch, the gift, it is said, of
Senator Logan, the head of the anti-Lindley
Murray faction of the Nation-always with a
big N. now, Mr.. Compositor, if you please.
