Mr. Eaton, of the civil service commission,
says that the mmissioners have not re-
quested the President to withdraw the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Keim as chief examiner
and that the matter remains just rs it was
when the appointment was made, Mr.. Keim
not having yet received his commission. As
to what the commissioners might do, Mr..
Eaton would not speak, except to say in gem
eral terms that they were well aware of the
bad effect which the appointment would have
upon the future work Of tho commission if it
were shown that there was good ground for
the adverse criticisms which have been made
upon it. The commission has been engaged
to-day in going over the rules recently drafted
and presented to the President, and Mr..
Eaton thinks they will be approved at the cab
inet meeting tomorrow,

THE DAMsEL AND THE HAT.
damsel fair in tho parquet sat-
And all around hung q Gainsboro' hat
While the ald-headed boys sat just behind
Cursing her cartwheel in their mind.
But for them the damsel would not stir;
Though 1t pleased not them 1t did please her,
And she said to herself behind her fau
" Now, I'm bound to mash that ere leading mans
Chorus-That 'ere leading man.
That ere leading man.
Her most histrlonic,
Very platonic
Fancy formed this plan;
II am orusher
To the usher,
Why not TO the leading mani
And each of the boys expressed his mind
Az the nat whose shadow struck them blind
The baker, he muttered, II takes the cakep'
Ihe gambler exclaimed, "well, what stakeT'
The coal man murmured, "a Plttsburg towr'
And the big-collared colonel, "we'ye got no

The dealer in wheat then took in the hat
And growled, "Well, I'd sell on margin like

Chorus-with margin like that,
With margin like that.
But this too-too-ty
Big-hatted beauty
Was blushing behind her FAM
And little she cared
For the boys who stared
She had mashed tho leading man.

parts from the line of general route at Galatin

Decrease OF the Publio Debt.

1t is estimated that the decrease in the pub
lie debt for the month of April amounts to
about S3,5O0,0OO. The smallness of this
amount, in comparison with fle average
monthly reduction for years past, ,is accounted
for by the fact that large sums have been paid
out of the treasury during the month of April
on account of pensions. The payments
amounted to about $1000o,000.
