A WASHINGTON special says:

Senator Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, ac-
cording to report, seems ambitious to make
a record for nepotism. 1t appears that since
the adjournment of Congress, Mitchell has
removed the clerk OF his committee on pen
sions and the assistant clerk, the two gen.
tlemen who have done the real work of the
committee, and has appointed in their
places favorites of his own. These favorites
will draw the salary until next December
without doing any work. Senator Mitchell
is also reported as having dismissed the
messenger of the committee and appointed
his own son, boy of fifteen, to the place."
Senator Mitchell will be remembered as
the pure and lofty statesman who was so
imbued with the spirit of civil-service re-
form that he gave the State of Pennsylvania
to the Democratic party. AS a rule these
professional purists and pharaisaic Ere
formers" will be found to be pinchbeck
when the acid is dropped on them.

j. H. ATWOOD attends the Harvard law school.
He is an athlete, and somewhat of a bully. At
breakfast, Sunday, he called for rolls. The
cOlored waiter politely informed him that rolls
were non est comatibus. Atwood was not salts
fed, but insisted that the waiter should bring
rolls, noens volens. Atwood began to curse, ana
finally grabbed chair with which to annihilate
the friend and brother. The waiterthen invited
Mr.. A. outside, and at once gave him beautiful
lesson on pOlItsness and etiquette, administering
such whipping that Atwood took to his bed.
The waiter then quietly resumed business, and
is the hero of the day.

PREACHER near Selma, Ala, was stricken
DUMB last Sunday just as he about to an.
nOunce his text, or at least as he was expected
so TO do. He had previously read a hymn and
offered prayer, but when sermon time came he
stood and looked before him. without uttering a
word, for half hour During that time the
congre cation sang several hymns and finally
dismissed itself. Then the leading brethren
went up to the minister. spoke to him, shook
him, and at last became forced, as it were. to
knock him down and drag him out, an act they
performed gently. At last accounts the reverend
gentleman was still IN dazed condition, and his
people can only explain the affair by the sup
ligiOn.

IT is said the American Iron Association
will test the constitutionality of the new
tariff bill, upon the ground that it originated
in the Senate instead of the House. There
is nothing in this point which has been
raised time and again on behalf of the House
of Representatives. While such bills must
originate in the House they are subject to
amendment by the Senate, which body has
as much power to amend the bill as the
House has There can be no question of the
right of the House to strike out all after the
enacting clause of bill and insert entirely
new provisions, and this would be an amend
ment, and if the House has this power of
amendment" the Senate also has. The ar
gument upon this point made in the House
by ]. Proctor Knott during the last session
was conclusive.
