UntutOred Mexicane.
Monterey Mex Correspondence.

Monterey Mex Correspondence.
There are some peculiar qualities
Of the Mexican mind which will, for
a while, stand in the way of quick
progress. Thus, very few of them
will buy their railroad tickets until
the train is in full view of hesitation,
and, until a short time ago, preferred
paying their cash to the conductor.
They have an incomprehensible itch
ing to defer any enterprise, or even
trivial work, until the morrow.
Where those defects of their training
are understood, and patience and
management are exercised, a fair SER
vice can be got out of them. AS ex-
employing how little the Mexicans
know of the rights of common car
riers, the other day, when General
Diaz stopped here, the company, as
q courtesy, rendered the municipality
use of their cars for the General.
Thereupon the city authorities ur-
dertook to let everybody have a free
ride, and, until the matter was legal
ly explained to them, threatened
trouble to the railway people. These
mistakes of the MeXicans in their
dealing with our people spring not
80 much from a desire to annoy las
from ignorance.

How Bennett Makes Money Fly.

New Workers have been much in
terested within the last day or two
over the news from Europe concern
ing the extraordinary doings of the
Herald's proprietor in his steam
yacht Namouna, which are chroni-
cled in the London World. Evil
IDENTIFY MI. Bennett was very much
exhilarated by French air. Life on
board the Namouna must have all
the elements and uncertainty as to
what may become of them next.
Mr.. Bennett is said to make his
guests comfortable by playing on
them with q fire-hose and raising q
mock alarm of fire, also to insist on
the whole crew getting roaring drunk
upon pain of instant dismissal if he
is not obeyed. Bat in this last tipsy
exploit he has surpassed himself.
The gravity with which Bennett
must have refused the proffered as
sistance from the Frenchmen must
have been as good as a play, for
Jim's phenomenal soberness (appar-
ent) at such times is proverbial. I
heard q story yesterday in .illustra-
ton of it.
On New Years day Bennett ar
rived ut the Union Club toward
night, having made many calls. He
sat down in q chair, and Observing
that some Of the members of the club

A Big Job of Printing.

n. Y. Corr, Chicago Journal.
"Give me a million of these and a
million of those. Nasty day, ell?
When'l they be done? Ta-ta!" said
. young man who lodged into a big
printing house and out again in
three seconds, leaving behind him
two samples of Western Union tele-
graph blanks.
"rhat's the biggest order that was
ever given in a printing Office, isn't
it," q speaker inquired.
"Well," said the superintendent,
1.-THE job of printing these telegraph
blanks is the biggest thing in the
business in this or any other country,
but that was q comparatively small
order. You see, it was only one city.
and they have to be printed for 10000
places. We often get orders for TO-
OOO, 900 blanks at a time. The COM
pany uses q million in three days,
not legitimately in the sending of
dispatches, but actually, in all the
ways that those slips arc wasted.
They are treated as if they cost moth
ing. thrown away, swept out, sent to
business places, used for memoran-
dunn pads, and generally regarded as
aHybody's or nobody's property"
How did you ever count mill
lion ?"
1--WE never do count them. We
know that they cut "a to q sheet, and
we call a ream 500 sheets, SO that in
rough numbers, 1000 60 to a ream.
One thousand reams, therefore,
are printed, and afterward cut up in
to 1000, 600 sheets. When We get an
order for 10000, DOC, they literally
form dozens Of carloads. We have
done work for the big express COM
panies and railroads, but those jobs
aren't an honest fea-bite to the print
ing for the western Union company"
1t is o curi0ue fact that about all
of the office memoranda Of Wall
street are made on the backs of tele-
graph blanks; and it is said that
Russell Sage, ever pr0vident, carries

Bennett jgazed at him for a second

diving down into another pocket,
brought up another bill.
"Take that, Peter"
This performance went on fer five
minutes. Every time the astonished
Peter attempted TO retire he was
called back, and the presentation of
every kind OF bill from 81 to $50 went
on to the amusement of the specta-
tors. When no bills came forth Ben
nett stopped and came away. Peter
asked some of the members what he
had best do with his batfull of money.
He was advised to ask MI. Bennett
the next time he came. whether he
had not given by mistake moro than
he had intended. So the next day
when Bennett appeared, Peter said
to him:
"11r. Bennett, I think you gave
me more of q New Years present
than you intended to. last night"
Bennett looked at him q few Sec
onds, not having the glimmer Of an
idea of how much he had given or
whether he had given anything at
all.
"How much did 1 give you, Pc
ter"
Eight hundred dollars. sir"
The position was q delicate one.
but not SO much so to . man with an
income of q million q year as to an
ordinary mortal.
"That was the amount I intended
for you, Peter" said Bennett without
a sign of annoyance.

Civil Service Rules.
Burdette, in Burlington Hawkeye.

Burdette, in Burlington Hawkeye.
The following suggestions are most
respectfully submitted to the civil
service commission, for the guidance
Of government employees, not neces-
sarily for acceptance, but merely as a
guarantee that the Hawkeye is right
up to the front in this glorious re.
form:
l. Punctuality during business
hours and constant attendance at the
desk are not necessary; but clerks
should write the date of pay day and
amount 0fsalary on their hearts with
hooks of steel.
2. No perquisites are allowed to
subordinates. The custom has been
found p%ernicious in its tendency, and
subversive of honest administration.
The head of the department has am
pie time to rope in any loose swag
that may be wandering around I'M
claimed:
3. Citizens of seventy years and
upward, transacting business with
any of the departments, should be
addressed by the junior clerks as
"Sir," and not young fellah," as
heretofore. 1t is also desirable that
appointees from the New England
and Southern States should acq uire
some general mode of addressing la
dies other than "Marm" and
"Mum."
4. Clerks of the third class who are
learning to write will be permitted to
practice On government stationery
during the day, but it is not permits
sible to carry office supplies to ones
night school.
5. In addressing the head of a bu-
reau or department clerks must ad-
dress him by his full name. Only
doorkeepers and janitors will be per
mitted to call him "Say, you!"
6. Post no bills.
Z. Newspaper correspondents and
magazine writers holding positions
in the departments r not expected
to attend to any duties save their lit
erary work. If that is any indication
of what they car do in the way of
clerical work, it is evidently money
in the governments pocket to keep
them from doing any of it.
8. All employees are requested, nay,
implored, always to speak of the
Cabinet as "We."
8. Please keep off the grass.
10. Do not hitch to the trees.
II. Gas burned after twelve o'clock
will be charged extra.
IL. Procure tickets before entering
the train.
IL. Beware of pickpockets.
IA. Do moi pick any leaf, shrub or
flower.
Is. Gents without baggage are re-
quired to pay in advance.
16. Smoking on the second floor of
this building is prohibited.
II. Five dollars fine for crossing
this bridge faster than a walk.
Is. No fishing or shooting allowed
on this farm.
10. Children having seats at the
table will be charged full rates.
20. This way out.
Many of these rules have been in
operation all over the continent for
many years, and have received the
general and hearty appro, al of the
public. Will it not be better for the
civil service commission to adhere t.
the old and time-tried rules, rather
than venture upon new and hazard
GUS experiments? We shall see

Detroit Free Press.

III AACAos -
At Baton Rouge . Texas Deputy
| Sheriff brought aboard the boat q
negro whom he was taking home on
q warrant for grand larceny. The
| prisoner was humble and contrite, as
became his situation, while the Off
Ger flung on the airs of q hero and
made a great display of two revolvers
and q bowie knife. He told how far
he had chased the man, of q desper-
ate struggle to handcuf him, and
wanted US all to stand by him in case
q rescue was attempted. The pris-
oner was shackled to the railing of
the promenade deck and given his
dinner, and then the officer entered
the CABIN to partake of his.
There were five of US sitting in a cir
Gle q few feet from the prisoner, and
the negro looked SO down-hearted
that every one secretly sympathized
with HIM. A0out the time the depu-
ty had got down to the table one Of
the group-a resident of Arkansas,
calmly observed:
Gentlemen, 1 can tell by that Mig
gers eye that he's going overheard
and make swim for it. Down here
about three miles we shah run with
in fifty feet of the point, and he'll
take that moment to 20 overheard"
"But the officer ought to know it,"
exclaimed a TenAesseean as he half
rose up.
"You sit right down !" Missed the
other as his eyes flashed. I'm no
particular friend to The Niger, but
I'm going to see that this chap has a
fair show. If he's got the sand to 60
overheard he shall have the chance"
"Why--" began another, but before
he could 60 further the man from Ar
kansas gave a half hitch around to
bring his bip-pocket handy, and said:
"I:don't want toappear unci>il, gen.
tlemen, but the man who calls the
officer will have a chance to shoot at
mel"
That was business, and there were
no more protests. The boat swept
along with the swift current like a
horse on the gallop, and we watched
the prisoner. He looked carefully
around for the officer, then at the
point ahead, and we could see him
tremble with excitement. If he did
not receive direct encouragement
from the group he at least realized
that not a hand would be- lifted in
opposition. Now the steamer is close
in, the banks covered in the thickets
and not a house in sight. Drawing
a full breath the negro rose up,
snapped the sbackles with a tremen-
dous lurch, and went over the rail
like a flash.

ried aft.

and then a black head shot up above
the fnaming waters and q pair of
strong arms struck out for shore.

drew himself up and waved his

in his mouth, and began:
