The New Postmaster General.

The appointment of Judge Walter Q.
Gresham, of Indianapolis, to the vacan-
cy in the Cabinet caused by the death
of Judge Howe ought to be satisfactory
to all parties. 1t is one which the wise
acres did not foresee, and it comes with
a certain unexpectedness, but it is none
the worse for that; the selection is a good
one.
Judge Gresham is man in the prime
of life, still on the sunny side of fifty,
and with a fine reputation as a soldier,
besides being a brilliant lawyer and
profound Judge. He lost leg in the
war, and his gallantry and capacity in
military affairs attracted the attention
of General Grant, who kept an eye on
him after the rebellion was over. In
1869, when there came to be a vacancy
on the Bench of the United States Dis
trict Court for Indiana, it was under
stood that Senator Oliver p. Morton
had man for the place, but the Presi-
dent did not choose to await the Sena-
tors coming before making his selec-
ton. When Mr.. Morton finally ap-
peared at the White House for the pur-
pose of presenting the name of his
candidate, General Grant is said to
have met him most cordially, with the
remark: why, Ihaye just appointed to

, Ayoung man who wore big blue nit
tens and had his oyeralls tucked into his
boots, entered the City Hall the other
day in hesitating, half-afraid manner,
and when asked by the policeman
patroling the corridor what he wanted,
he replied:

Professional or Affectionate Visits.

If doctor is also q lover, can he, in
case of death, charge for visits of affeo-
ton as professional attendancep Such
was the question decided by Mr.. Justice
Chitty yesterday. The action was an
administrative one, in which the next
of kin of maiden lady who left f4, 900
behind her complained of the charges
made by her executor, a medical man,
for executors expenses and profess
sional services. 1t appeared that the
defendant had been engaged to be mar
,ried to'the lady, and though the match
had been broken off he continued to
attend her for an internal complaint of
which she eventually died. The Judge
had to decide upon a charge of nearly
f508 for medical services, OF which f92
was for two visits 3 day for S77 days at 2s.
ed. each., The plaintiff. contended that
the.yisits were made as lover, and not
as a. doctor. But Mr.. Justice !Chitty
thought that, as the charge per visit
was very moderate, though the number
OF visits was perhaps excessive, he
might allow him one visit day as q
doctor, and. regarding the second visit
as that of the lover, knocked off half
the charge. As, however, q charge of
three guineas a day for taking the lady
for drives was allowed to remain, the
doctors pocket has not suffered severely
for his devotion. on.-PdH MdN Gazette.

The Sad Finale Of a Real Romance.

To-day there moved along over the
smooth asphalt of New York and Penn
sylvania avenues, in the warm, spring
day sun, aelong line of fashionable car
riages driven by richly-liveried coach
men. This followed a coffin covered
with flowers to Oak Hill Cemetery on
the heights of Georgetown. The funeral
was the closing chapter in a real
romance. The deceased was Mabel
Henneberger, the young wife of DIR.
Lucien G. Henneberger, of the United
States navy. The two had been mar
ried little over year. The cause Of
Mrs. Henneberger' death was septice-
mia following the recent birth of
child. The baby survives its mother.
The lady was Miss Mabel Grimes.
She belonged to a family well known in
New York and Washington, which pos
sesses both wealth and high social posi-
ton. The members of the family are
devoted Catholics. Miss Grimes was in
Europe two years ago. Her beauty and
money made her eagerly sought in
Paris. DR.. Henneberger, who has only
his position in the navy, is a fne-look-
ing young man. He fell in love with
Miss Grimes and she reciprocated his
affection. At this time French noble
man of very high rank was an aspirant
for the hand of Miss Grimes. He had
the consent of her family. They were
very anxious to have Miss Mabel marry
the Frenchman. He had high position
and was a member of the Catholic
Church, while DR.. Henneberger' family
was rigid Presbyterian one. So great
was the opposition of the family that
for a time it looked as if the young
American naval surgeons suit would
be rejected. One of Miss Crimes
aunts drew a check for S50, 900 and said
she would present it to the greatly har-
raised young lady if she would only
consent to marry the Partisan noble.
She further added that she would give
her niece all her property when she
died. Mrs. Emory, the wife of Lieu
tenant Emory, of the navy, stood by the
fortunes of the young surgeon. She
urged Miss Grimes to disregard the ad-
vice of her relatives, and helped the
lovers to the last, when an elopement
was necessary to bring about the mar
rage. The two came to Washington
soon after. They were very popular in
society. The family of Mrs. Henne-
berger became reconciled to the mar
riage when they saw how happily the
young couple lived. The aunt, who
had tried to make the young lady re-
nounce her American lover, settled up
on her an annuity of $500 a year, and
renewed her promise to leave her a
large fortune. Thus sadly ended this
romance. Death leaves two families
desolate.-W Washington Cor. Chicago

samuel ]. Tilden Once More.

1t is rumored in political circles that
each of the Democratic aspirants for the
Speakership of the next House of Rep
resentatives is anxious to form an ali-
ance, offensive and defensive, with some
probable candidate for the Presidency
on the Democratic ticket. 1t is further
more said that Mr.. Samuel j. Randall,
of Pennsylvania, has already perfected
such an arrangement with a jolly old
party in New York by the name of
Samuel j. Tilden, and that the trade
includes the transfer of the New York
Congressman to the support of Ran
of the Pennsylvania delegates in
the next Democratic National Con-
vention for Mr.. Tilden for Presi-
dent. Tilden and Randall always
worked well together, and the story has
an air of strong probability. The only
thing in the way of carrying out the
trade is the impossibility for each party
to the transaction to deliver the goods.
For instance, there is Mr. Humpty-
Dumpty, ssSunset" Cox, who is also a
candidate for the Speakership, and de-
clares that he has entered the race to
stay Ordinarily, whatever MIR. Cox
does is regarded as joke, but his cam
didacy for the occupancy of the Speak
er's chair in the Forty-eighth Congress
he declares his opponents will find to
be no joke before the strife is ended.
So, then, we may expect that Mr.. Cox
will not look upon the agreement of
Tilden and Randall to dispose of the
Speakership and the Presidency in one
job with much favor, and that the
other members of the New York delega-
ton may take the same view of it that
Cox does. Cox should initiate the ex-
ample of those two sly old political
foxes, Randall and Tilden, and make
an alliance himself with some prospect
i've candidate for the Presidency, like
Carter III. Harrison. Carter might in
duce Bill Springer, who is also candi-
date for Speaker, to Withdraw in favor
of Cox, and give him fCox) the Illinois
delegation nine of u.s." Mr. Spring.
er says-and in turn Mr.. Cox could
turn over the New York delegation to
Harrison.
But to go back to Randall and Tilden.
The story of their conspiring together
has an air of probability about it from
other circumstances, such as their long
continued personal intimacy and warm
friendship for each other. The New
York Sun, edited by Mr.. Dana, is sup
porting Mr.. Randall very cordially for
Speaker, and has never ceased to extol
the virtuous craftsmanship and lofty
patriotism of Samuel j. Tilden. So
the public may conclude that as long as
Mr.. Tilden is alive, he will somehow
contrive to keep himself before the peo-
pie and to have himself talked about as
a Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency Chicago Journal

Judge Gresham has shown excellent
ability upon the Bench and has at all
times enjoyed great personal populari--
ty. In grasping the law of case and
the ability to present its substance
pointedly in jury charge, he is reck-
oned exceptionally clear and able II
seems almost strange that. he should be
willing to give up an honorable and as
sured position on the Bench for life, in
order to accept a'seat i'm the Cabinet,
which gives at best but temporary
service, but his aspirations have for
some years been understood to be
in the direction of political rather than
judicial preferment. In 1880 he was q
candidate for the United States Senate,
and was believed to stand a good chance
for election; but before the balloting
began in the Legislature he withdrew in
favor of General Benjamin Harrison.
The country can be congratulated, first,
that man of Judge Greshams' fitness
has been selected as Postmaster-General
and secondly, that the array of political
fuglemen who were figuring for the
place has all been thrown !aside.-De-

There is something marvellous about
the vitality of the Sage of Gramercy
Park. He promises to become as much
q type of longevity as Methuselah or
the Wandering Jew, and he is appar-i
emily as lively as the Irishman's flea
When he was the Democratic candidate
for President in 1876-nearly seven
years ago-he was known as "Old Usu-
fruct, "Uncle Sammy" the ''Sage,"
and by other nicknames which indicate
the sere and yellow leaf, and the ap-
prehension was generally expressed
that, If elected, he would not outlive
his term. But he came up smiling in
1880. and was ready to sacrifice himself
again to his party. The party has re-
gretted ever since that it rejected him
him as obsolete, and Mr.. Watterson
never tires of telling his associate man
ayers of the Democratic party that the
result would have been different if they
had taken up Tilden instead of Han
cock. Since then there have been re-
peated rumors of Mr.. Tilden's physical
and mental dilapidation, and the news
papers have had his obituary written
and stereotyped this long time. Never
theless, every serious discussion of the
Democratic policy in regard to the next
Presidential election brings Mr.. Tilden
to the front. Just now he rises up like
specter to contest with Mr.. Nc
Donald, of Indiana, the control of
the New York delegation in the
next Democratic Convention. He sets

to receive the support q tie New York

is as full of ambition and intrigue as
ever, and evidently commands the fear If
not the respect of the politicians. While

his dying) he win probably be the War
wick of his party and name its candi-
date. The fact that defeat followed the
| contemptuous treatment he received at
the hands of the Cincinnati Convention
gives him a strong claim to considera-
| ton. 1t is also fact that in all the re-
sources of the politician he stands head
and shoulders above the younger men
who aspire to the leadership. Even in
the decrepitude of old age and word
faculties he is more of a power to-day
in the Democratic party than any of the
leaders who are in the habit of turning
up their noses at the mention of his
name. The spectacle of Samuel j. Til
den as Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent in 1884 will be rather sad, but ii
will illustrate fitly the poverty of the
