LONDON GOSSIP.
(BY FLANEUR.)
Special for the Daily Bullctin.)

Montenegro, which has n popu-
lation equal to that of an ordinary
English provincial town, is about
to be represented at the Russian
court by an Ambassador Extraordi-
nary and Plenipotentiary. This is,
perhaps, a preliminary step to the
assumption of the regal diadem by
Prince Nikita.
Under the heading sold England
in Babelsberg," Berlin paper
relates an amusing story of visit
paid to emperor Williams summer
retreat by one of those Englishmen
who criticise and depreciate every
thing they see on the Continent,
and never fail to assert that that is
nothing to what we have in England.
The Castellan's fair daughter was
his guide. She began by showing
him the parte,res, but as he plainly
showed her that he did not believe
gardening was exercised out of
Great Britain, she hurried indoors
and began conducting him round
the Imperial apartments. But she
could not extract a single word of
appreciation; everything was grandcr
in England. In despair she dockcd
him of at least half a dozen salons
and brought him to the last room ON
the list-the Emperor's study. And
here sometime Interested him
immensely, viz, a collection of
walking sticks. Frightening up
bit, the poor girl told him the history
of each, how they hah come from all
parts of Germany as presents, all
except this one, which His Majesty
cut himself Al years ago, and is his
inseparable companion whilst res
iding at Babelsberg. 1t was an
ordinary blackthorn, but it possessed
some fascination for the Englishman.
He could not take his eyes off it; he
handled it with vencration, he
smiled at it with admiration, and he
sighed as he replaced it with its
fellows. Whilst the girl was locking
the door of the Imperial study, he
whispered in her ear, "l'll give you
thousand marks ESQ for the EN-.
peror's favourite walking stick"
The, young lady Indignantly refused
to listen to the proposal. "Two
thousand," he murmured anxiously.
"l'll call my,father if you don't go
away at once," was her reply. give
thousand!" "Father!" "Tcn thou
sand!" "Fathcr! Marder! Help!
Policem screamed the girl, and
scuttled downstairs and away. The
Englishman also retreated. Next
day the CASTELAR, informed Colonel
Won Lindequist, an Imperial adj djutant,
of the circumstances, and on His
Majesty's return from Gastcin he
was also made acquainted with the
story. The Emperor laughed
heartily at it, and said; What a pity

MORE ABOUT FlGURE-HEAoS.

Finding that our last article ON
" Figure-heads " was slightly mis-
construed by some readers, and
wishing to bc more explicit, we
again revert to the subject. The
officials to whom this title applies
are those who are simply the nomi-
nal heads of their departments, and
nothing more. They neither do any
work themselves nor control those
placed under them. 1t may he from
want Of actual knowledge, deficiency
of practical ability, or lack of in
dustry; or from all three causes
combined. Whatever be the cause
Of any officials being mere figure
head, to use country's revenue, or
4 portion of that revenue, for the
maintenance of such n questionable
ornament is a wicked misuse of
money. viii any observant man,
whether in Office or out of it,
whether favorable to the Govern
mcnt or opposed to it, deny that
considerable Of our small revenue
has been, and is being, wasted in
this way!
2 OF course, every department of
the Public Service requires head or
chief, but no department requires Il
chief whose usefulness is limited to
His ornamcntalness. Some of the
larger and more important depart
ments need the entire time and
attention Of the chief to be devoted
to directing, controlling, and supcrin-
tending the work of subordinates it
is his duty to devise and command.
Some of the minor and less comprc-
hensivc departments can only he well
and economically served by chiefs
who share in the actual drudgery of
Office. In every department the
chief should not only have IN init
mate knowledge of what must be
done and how to do it, but should
also possess the will and industry to
sec that it is properly done. A chief
destitute of these qualification can
be little, il anything, better than n
iig,lrc-hcad; and all ligure-heads de-
tract from the efficiency Of the Pub
lie Service, rs well rs usclcsslv sub
tract money from the Public
Treasury.
Nothing but fitness entities any
man to any position. No one should
he appointed either MS head or subor-
dinate who has not the necessary
fitness. So long rs those who have
the appointing power are influenced
by private and personal considera-
tons our governmental system will
continue to he encountered by
drones and parasites.
