the fact that they receive and transmit to
the brain impressions regarding snr-
rounding objects thro' their nerves. The

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, d, c., April IA, 49,

treasury vaults II sum sS
M to this time the only discrepancy
found is an excess of four cents in
Uncle SANS favor. But the reserve
fund has not yet been touched. When
that is oyerhauled some people think
there will be music, not that anything
is believed to be wrong IN the accounts
of ey-Treasurer Gilfllan, who is a
man of undoubted integrity and has un-
Questionably left things as well as he
found them, but way back to war
times and in many cases since there
have been dcpredations upon Treasury
funds which so far as known have not
been replaced. The money in the
Treasury is supposed to be counted
TWENTY-FIVE times by so many different
persons in every process of paying out
or taking in. thereby making fraud
impossible, it is allegcd-and so it
would be i. for collision. During
the war the eXigencies of the public
service were such that people could dip
their hands into the Treasury and get
out what they wanted; it never re-
covered from the decentralization of
that period. The Treasury books are
n mass of erasions aud insertions, and
are totally incompreheusible, except to
IN expert at accounts. The simple
fact is that the books will not balance,
and the only thing to be done is to
cover up the shortage by the cutie
fish tactics Of darkening everything in
the vicinity. The determination
to count the Treasury funds is the
surest indication that the republicans
feel the end is near. Judge Folger is
rigidly honest his position then may
be imagined when he found himself at
the head of the department, which is
the fountain of corruption. The Treas
ury is packed with John Sherman's
followers-men whom Judge Folger
distrust and dislikes.
As is well known, nothing like the
dissensions which are now prevailing
between the Treasury officials was c, er
known before. Hitherto they have had
a Secretary who winked at fraud and
peculation now they have one who
not only requires that his principal
subordirates shall not steal, but that
they shall not allow their underlngs to
steal. When Judge Folger came to
know the character of the people by
whom he was surrounded he would un-
questionablv have dismissed them if he
could, but his hands were tied. The
Assistant Secretary, Henry F. French,
is an example. Not six months passes
that some attempt to beat the govern
ment on the part of this man does not
come to light. Now is it to be sup.
posed that an officer of Judge Folger's
rectitude would permit a man of that
character to remain in the Assistant
Secretaryship of the Treasury if he
could help it? But, unfortunately, he
cannot help it. He is surrounded on
all sides by them. If there is deficit
in the Treasury it will be exposed by
the stern honesty of Judge Folger ifhe
has the power; but very likely the
same collision that caused it has had
time to cover it up, for the present at
least. When the democrats come in,
then will strange things be discovered
but the Treasury vampires don't
care for that CATER lis the deluge,'
say they. Promo.

HOW He Got Even.

TIE young man Of the present day
docs not get left very much in con-
versation with girls. Detroit Chaff
tells the following: "a tony young
man o. this city escorted couple of
equally tony girls over to the Rus
sell House the other day. When the
party had arrived n the top of the
stelrs lea ng tc parlor, one of
f,,rls drop silk umbrella,
.oh slid le to the bottom.
The young ma .rted down after
it, and just then portly and near
sighted old gentleman came wad-
ding down the hall asking every
body he met if they had seen the
hack driver who was to come after
him at four o'clock. Just for the
fun of the thing the girls directed
HIM to the young man at the bottom
Of the stairs, and the old gentleman
charged down on him with Here,
you, why didn't you have my hack
on time as you promisedY The young
man was staggered for moment,
until he saw the girls giggling, and
took in the situation. Then he
arose equal to the emergency, and
replied: oh, Pm not the hack man !;
Just came down to have a little fun
with those two waiter-girls up there.
He will have to send the umbrella
home by mail now"

100000 left. Sleep! I'd give ST.

fence. l could have gone to sleep
right away, but for the 100000
stupid, white sheep standing waiting
like lot Of fools for me to jump 'em
over the fence. Jump 'em, did |
say? l had to boost 'em, hit 'em
drive 'em, hoist every one of those
100000 sheep over that pasture
fence, and when / turned and looked
back there were 100000 sheep,
stupid, blank-farad, white woody
imps, waiting there, saying: "Me
too, my turn next
