One of the peculiarities of humanity is
the natural tendency Of every individual of the
family bimnna to say told you So" Ihave no.
ticed In my peregrinations and meanderings about
this City of Magnl6yen Distances and all that sort
Of thing that my fellow-men have come to tho
conclusion that they will prepare themselves TO
use this stereotyped phrase as soon as the new
Cabinet is announced. They have decided as
matter of course, that the President will choose
Mr.. Conkling as one ofhis Cabinet counselors, or
that he win choose some one that will stand in
stead OF Mr.. Conkling, even certainly as pro-
noun stands instead Of n noun
Even the usually astute Buell., OF the Grille has
cried out In double loaded squeal that Senator
Lapham Ia TO be called to Cabinet position in
order to allow Governor Cornell to appoint the
terrible and dreaded Mr.. Conkling to lli the va
Fancy thus created In the Senate.
And why not? What is the objection to such an
arrangement II IL suits the Presidcntf What q,id
ninc can complain i this ora similar arrangement
lhopld be nader why should any one complain II
President Arthur should do something 10 favor the
man "who made his nomination at Chicago posi-
ble% WHO'S prepared to say that Mr.. Arthur would
much less nominated almost by reclamation, had
u not been for Roscoe Conkling2 Can the quer-
alous old maid Of tho Tribune, or Half
Breed widow, complain now of that which they
applauded In General GarfeldY Which one of the
bastard crew. which filed space, time, and all
patience with plaudits for Garfield because he
hvorcd the renegade who made his nomination
ossible will now come forward and eat his own
entiments without sauce and say that Mr.. Arthur
Mould not dothe same thing because his name is

Hypocrisy sometimes oyerleaps itself and be-
pmes hypercritical In the vain endeavor TO make
trong things right. and then ailerward trying to
bake right things wrong. This manifestation OF
he hypocrite is peculiarly palpable at present In
he asinine attempt of certain pseudo. Journalists
oproye that what they said last May and June
Ias right and that their complaints Just now are

LETTERS OF MADAME DE REMUsAT FROM
THE FRENCH. BY Mrs. CAsHEL Holy aud
Co Washington; W. II. Morrison.
The letters embraced in this volume are
selected from those written by one Of the most
brilliant women who ever graeed the French capt
tai, 10 her husband and son during the peLioo
from 1904 TO 1913. These letters give a most ex.
eellent picture of the condition Of Paris during
the frequently recurring periods Of the absence
Of the court, and narrate the Incidents of
the writer's attendance at different times
subsequent 10 the divorce upon the EN-
Press Josephine. The letters do not deal with the
political and military events which followed the
proceedings OF Napoleon in regard 10 Spain, but
give the reader an insight into the history OF the
French, showing Paris at home, in low spirits and
financial difficulties, pervaded by the dull dlsoon-
tent of people In state Of constant suspense,
and the court, no longer frightened by the pres
ence OF the sweet and gentle Josephine, oppressed
