MEYRRBEER AND THE POET

One night while he was in Brussels
duet came into his mind at 2 A. NJ.
lie leaped from his bed, rang the bell
for servant and asked for a poet.
The servant, not knowing what dish
that was, awoke the master of the
house, and, after satisfying himself that
Meyerboer really wanted at that hour
of the night bipcd who turned out
verses, gave him the address Of o well
known Belgian poet, ordered cab
and sent Meyerbeer TO the dramatists
home. Moyerbeer tugged the bell till
he brought the master, who answered
the alarm in the worst possible humor
until the visitor said: al am Meyer.
beer Are you poet2"
Eyes, when ! am in the vein, but
at these untimely hours, when only
churchyards yawn, the humor is not

SECRETARY LINCOLN AND
THE ARMY RING.

Secretary of War Lincoln has start.
ed off in reform that he can not ac-
complish, much as his desire may be
to do it. He had an idea that he
would get rid of the army barnacles,
who, while they draw salaries from
General down TO Lieutenant, never
render any service in return.
The case that he started out on was
that of Lieut.. Bradley, who managed
to get special act passed through
Congress giving him the pay of Cap
tain. Lieut.. Bradley has not seen his
regiment for seventeen years. During
this time he has not performed one
weeks service really, though he has
been suffered TO be in charge of one of
the hundred of red tape bureaus of the
War department But he has been a
leader OF the german regularly and is
a "heavy waltzer." lie has never
missed a society gathering and is a
delightful fellar, you know" He
parts his hair in the middle and plays
polo.
When Mr.. Lincoln was told OF these
things--there are u hundred such cases
in the War Department he made up
his mind that he would reform the
business or smash up trying to do so.
He began on Bradley, but it was not
two days before Bradley brought So
cal influence to have the order re.
scinded.
Other Secretaries OF War have tried
to do exactly what Lincoln wanted to
do, but they failed every time, as Lin.
coin will fail. The Army Ring is too
strong for the Department to manage.
There are hundreds Of barnacles on
the Naval rolls also, but nothing can
be done about it. There are several
Naval officers now on duty, Especial
duty" at the Washington Navy Yard
that have not been one hour on ship,
except when they went travelling for
pleasure, since the day they left An.
napolis with their appointments as
Lieutenants. Judge Hunt will take
no steps to correct what he knows is
an evil, because he knows he cannot
make a success Of IT,
Lincoln, however, is very rash, and
swears he will do something or know
the reason why. He will probably
discover the reason, but his reform will
not amount to ueh.-Hdrtford Times.
