A New York Times Washington spec
ial says: The secretary OF the navy on
Wednesday unexpectedly took action re-
garding the detail to command the Eu-
ropean fleet, and officially informed Com
modore John w. Nicholson, lately in
command at the Brooklyn navy yard,
that he was to command the European
steamer, and requested him to recon-
mend any particular officers he desired.
Secretary Hunt said Rear Admira. Don
aid NJ. Fairfax, now commanding the
naval asylum at Philadelphia, some
months ago accepted the European de-
tail, but recently changed his mind and
requested to be retired, having served
forty years. Nicholson was the next Off
Ger in rank. This position is most sought
for in the fleet. An officer says Fairfax
was delighted with being chosen, and
begun making preparations. He applied
to Secretary Hunt for permission for his
wife and family to accompany him, which
was refused. He was unable to get the
refusal revoked, hence he resigned.

The report published a few days ago,
showing the postmasters at presidential
offices who had been delinquent in send
ing in their quarterly reports, has raised
n storm about the enrs of the third assist
ant postmaster general. The matter had
hardly appeared in print before he was
beseiged with letters and kilograms from
indignant postmasters demanding to
know why they had been published de-
inquent when their reports had already
been filed. An examination showed that
their accounts had been sent in, but the
postmasters had neglected to aflix the
green labels which distinguishes matter
from presidential Offices from that of the
lower grade. The reports had been
mixed with 5000 Or 5000 other letters
that are received daily, but cannot bc
examined for some time to come.

An Ingenious Kind Of Bird.

One of the most interesting and COM
mon birds here Tin the Adirondack re-
zion, Northern New York; is a large
woodpecker that bores holes in the bark
of spruce and then plugs them up with
acorns and nuts of any kind. One piece
of wood taken from tree of about eight
square inches, contains ten of these
plugs, so closely and tightly wedged in
that knife had to be used to force them
out. A fine specimen of this ingenious
work can be seen in the cabinet of the
Museum of Natural History, Central
Park. The piece of bark looks as if
wooden bullets had been fired at it and
lust covered themselves. The general
impression seems to be that the birds
nut them there and eat them in the win
ter or later, but squirrels, it would
seem, would have the best of ii. We
have seen the birds picking at nuts or
acorns that had evidently been lodged
in the wood some time, and were I'M
pressed with the idea that they had
been placed there to collect grubs and
other live food that would work into
them, and then the woodpecker would
visit the trap he had set and reap the
reward of his labors. The amount OF
work q woodpecker does in making a
hole three inches deep can be imagined
when it is known that in some OF the
pieces of wood bored ten or fifteen pecks
Of their bills hardly make any impress
sion. How many thousand it would take
TO finish the work mentioned, and the
consequent wear and tear OF patience
can be imagined.-NeeOY York Times.

A Reckless Driver.

The Washington Republican says: A
good story is told on Lieutenant Hoxie,
the young gray-headed assistant engi-
neer at the Columbia Buildings. Whis
stationed at st. Louis he and the other
young officers were much exercised at
the rigor of Gen. Calender, who was a
regular old martinez. He made the
other officers send back to their regi-
ments all the enlisted men who were
serving them as orderlies, while he never
thought of interfering with those about
his own quarters. Calender was fond
of good horse, and had pair that
were extremely fast. Hoxie, who before
his marriage was an admirer of horse
flesh, had an animal which he oonsid-
cred quite rapid, and one day while
driving overhauled the General and
asked him to ride. The invitation was
accepted, and Hoxie, anxious to show
the speed of his horse, gave him the
whip. This caused him to flirt his tail,
prick up his ears, and start off at rap
id pace, which he Immediately sensibly
increased, causing the Lieutenant to pull
very hard to keep him down into trot.
"This is a pretty good horse you
have, HoXie," said the General.
eyes" said Hoxie, pulling with all
his might, "very fair"
"He goes along right well," said the
senior officer. How fast do you think
we are going?"
By this time they had left the city and
were flying along the road that led to
the Arsenal, and Hoxie realized that his
horse was running away. He tried to
curb his speed without alarming the old
man, but all his efforts were unavailing,
and they tore along at a breakneck pace.
Once or twice the horse SHE'D little,
but not greatly. The General finally
renewed his question:
''I say, Hoxie, how fast do you sup
pose we are goingP"
"I'm blessed if l know" said Hoxie,
who was nearly played out Juggling at
the reins. ......
By this time the old man began to be
somewhat alarmed, and pulling out his
watch he said: a.s.E
"Well, HoXie, would like to go fur
Their with you, but l have an engage
ment that must keep, and if you will
let me out now will be obliged"
"Oh, certainly" said Hoxie, with the
perspiration standing on his brow in
great beads. eyes, indeed, I'll let you
out now," and he made mighty effort,
and just then the horse SHE'D so that the
buggy was nearly upset. The nag stop
ped, however, and the old General piled
out. The moment he struck the ground
and felt perfectly safe he turned to the
Lieutenant and said:
81 tell you, Hoxie, that's good
horse, and he's fast, too; but 1 think
you ought to break him of that habit OF
shying. l think you should lick it out
of him." and the old man walked off.
Hoxie waited until he got his wind
and recovered his strength, and then
drove slowly back, subsequently telling
his brother officers that he had run away
with the old General without his know
ing it. Whether he suspected it or not,
the General used to say that "That that
little fellow Hoxie was the most reckless
driver he ever saw, and would use up q
good horse in mighty short time.''
