Old spoony.

Ben Butler, the new governor of Massa
chusetts, won the sobriquet of Spoons
during or just after tle war, and IT sticksto
him still, but Dallas has man who seems
dssirous Of taking from him the appellation.
For some time past the Board OF Trade
saloon has been losing and missing spoons
Where they went was mystery. The
spoons had an intrinsic value, and they
were needed, and TO be constantly short OF
spoons, I the big custom OF the saloon,
was very great annoyance. The custom
of the saloon is SO large that
it was impossible for bar
tender, waiting on half a dozen or a
dozen patrons at once and constantly on q
rush to keep tho run Of the spoons, Fin
ally, however, Mr.. Robert Purdy, the SEN
ior proprietor, concluded he would devote
little time to the spoon question. SO he
took watch. He hadn't been on watch long
until an old man, seemingly pretty-well-to-
do, TOO who had been o lular customer for
some time, came in and called for hot
drink, sat down by the stove and leisurely
slipped his beverage with gusto and many
compliments as to the eXcelleuCy of the
liquor His Communications of the liquor
aud the house were so proiuse that Mr..
Purdy's attention was attracted, aud
he fixed that very kindly
but still relentless eye of his upon the old
man, but without apparently watching
him.
The result was that he detected the old
man pocketing the spoon and when there
was crowd at the counter and number
of glasses thereon, he quietly deposited his
glass and started out Mr.. Purdy stopped
him, relieved him of the spoon, and quietly
informed him that he did not want his
patronage any more, and to please favor
the house by not coming within its doors
again. The probabilities are that the old
mans corner in spoons is broken up and
that the Board of Trade will no longer b
spoonless.

OFFICIAL STEALS.

The GOVERNMENT officials who, on big
pay and doing nothing, travel over the
country, have other methods of adding
TO their regular pay than that of using
free passes and charging the Govern
msnt mileage. These trips over the
country usually mean personal pleasure
at public expense. They carry with
thom travelling expenses. Visits to the
Pacific slope, the great Northwest. aud
10 the Southern border are the faverite
journeys. The necessity for these jour
neys at public expense occurs in the
season best suited for travelling for
pleasure. Inspections are hardly ever
made In the Indictment season. II would
be interesting TO overhaul the reports
made by officials performing these tours
Of duty. More interesting still would il
DO 70 examine the vouchers on which
the expenses are paid. Lately a party
Of officials were ordered 10 perform a
service In remote State. The hotel
bill Of each WAS audited and paid at the
rate Of $40 per day, when the real
charge Was only 81.
