DR.. MARY WALKER.
THE OLD LADY EXCITED OVER DISCHARGE
FROM THE PENsIoN BUREAU.

TIL. DIO lAAD1 ONEh DlSChAhGE
FROM THE PENsIoN BUREAU.
Washington special: DR.. Mary Walker is
making things lively for the subordinate
officials OF the Pension Office during the alb
ssnce of Commissioner Dudley. She calls at
the office regularly once a day, osteusibly for
The purpose of making iEquiry about Mr..
Dudley's return, but more from desire to
quarrel with the deputies. She believes they
are responsible for her dismissal, and does
not hesitate to tell them so. She proclaimed
in rather emphatic language to one of them
that ii she was not restored to duty she
would not leave q stone unturned until his
official head had been severed. Whatever
may be said of DIR. Mary's discharge, it is
known that it was not for inefhciency, as has
been stated. Those who have had transac-
tions with her and have seen her work say
she is a most Efficient and valu abba clerk.
An amusing scene occurred at the Office yes
| Ierday, the doctor and on. OF the young
lady clerks b=ing tina parties to it..
Most everybody knows how the eccentric
woman oliugs 10 her title of Doctor, but
it seems this lady did not. 10 ad-
drss,iug her letter she used the "Mrs.n in
| sIead Of the doctor. The female physician
| and e1-pension clerk being in the room at
| the time the letter was addres sed, the Young
lady handed it oyer TO her in person. When
Dr.. Mary saw how she had been addressed,
| che turned upon the petite but bashful lady
with look OF contempt fer her ignor ance,
and politely handing back the letter, she said
she declined TO receive a communication ad-
dressed in that form. II the young lady did
not know what her title was, then il was time
| for her also TO be dismissed for ineficiency.
The young lady made no reply, but hid her
face behind a newspaper and blushed and
smiled until the doctor pushed it sside, and
shaking her finger in her face, said: "Never
mind, you pert young miss. Eou, too, sh all
suffer for this or my name is not DIR. Mary
Walker" The young lady, either from
fright or for the sal Ee of getting rid OF the
irate doctor, hastily arose and left the doctor
to vent her anger upon the heads of the eth
er Gle rks 10 ihe room who had witnessed and
we're laughing at the doctors conduct.

An Episcopal manifesao.

The Roman Catholic bishops have issued q
manifesto upon the distress in Ireland and
the question of emigration or migration as =
remedy. Their expression Of opinion was
limited TO This subject, and was embodied in
the following: Fret, that owing to the mis-.
government Of Ireland in the past a chronic
state of misery and want has been produced
in several districts of the west, south west,
northwest and other parts of the country,
where the people have been compelled to
crowd on the poor st and lea-t productive
lands. Secondly, that in every county in
which this stale OF congestion prevails there
are large .racts of land once cultiv ated BY
the people. but from which they have been
driven in recent tiraes, and which are now in
grssS, and ip many CAGES deteriorsting, while
here are also in the same counties extensive
tracts of land capable of improvement.
happiness the surplus population of the
congested districts. Third, that with
every recurring period Of agricultural
depression the people Of these districts
are reduced TO condition bordering
on starvation, and therefore must be sr
abiding source OF solicitude and anxiety to
everyone having the welfare of his country
al heart. FeurIn, that the provisions OF re
cent remedial l.g station have not extended
| in any appreciable degree TO this deserving
bat destitute class. Fifth, that State e

mote dissfection among the Irish race .
