The rush for Office at Washington was
never madder, never more harassing than
now. Women are frequent applicatnst
either for themselves or their male rela-
tives and the dust can be laid with the
tears they shed at their dissappoint-
ments. Judge David Davis is the VIC
tim Of these terrible women. One day
not long since, one of them declared
with tears in her eyes that she was starv-
ing. Happening to catch sight Of her
handsome gold watch and chain, he sug-
gested that that did not look like il. To
this remark she had no answer. To q
group of three women who we're press
ing him for an appointment he gave
some very sensible advice to the effect
that instead of placing themselves in the
ignominious position of begging for fav-
ors when there are thousands ready to
crowd them to the wall, they were intel.
ligent enough TO go and learn to cook
and to be housekeepers and be certain
Of good homes and independence. Peo-
pie would then be running after them
instead of their having to run after peo-
pie. "The position of q respectable
servant in a good family" he said, "is
one infinitely to be preferred to that Of
hanging to some beggarly Office, depen-
dent on the whim or will of some bu-
reaucrat." His words of wisdom were
of course received in high dudgeon and
the three women founced out of his
presence calling him an old fool and
wondering what he took them for?
They wanted to starve and be insulted
as public servants not to have plenty
10 eat, a comfortable home and be Or
dered about as private servants.

TIE London Truth is moved TO say
that the thefts, murders and outrages in
the English compartment cars are in
creasing, and there seems no remedy
against them short Of the adoption Of
the American style Of car. A murderer
might, he says, in nine cases out Of ten,
escape by jumping out as the train is
slackening speed. Had LEROY done so,
il is doubtful If Colds murderer would
have been discovered. A correspondent
says that n few days before he was in q
compartment car with another man and
they both watched each other as though
the other was cut-throat, for they had
no assurance that such was not the case.
Every time either put his hand into his
pocket, the other stood ready 10 throttle
him. No one dares TO get into q COM
partment alone or when there is only one
other person.

The fact already demonstrated that
elephants can be bred in this country
would seem 10 indicate that the species
might be naturalized and acclimated.
Being Of tamable disposition, q few
generations would domesticate them as
thoroughly as horses and cows have
been. The climate of the Southern
States would be friendly TO them, and
for large operations in farming and the
mechanic arts they could be made as use
full as they are in India. As milk pro.
ducers, they surpass the COW in point Of
richness, if not Of economy. Prof.
Doremus, the chemist, has analyzed
that from the mother of Barnum's baby
elephant, and pronounces it in favor
and odor superior TO that of many ami

Last night an appreciative audience as
sembled in the Opera House to witness this
play. and to say that the audience was de-
lighted is drawing il mild In the maiori.
" Of combinations the "star" is the only
good character. while the support is inferi-
or and below mediocriiy, but last night
each actor was stnr and the play was
decided success. The brilliant young COM
medienne, Miss Carrie Stuart, as "Chip"
the Ferryman's Daughter, took the leading
character, and she "was" brilliant, her rem
ditiou Of the part being perfect. Miss Ida
Rolf. the Judges Daughter, as Blanche
Norwood, showed the finished actress, and
both ladies elected frequent bursts Of ap-
plause. Mr. Henry schaier as Zebulon
Fo9g, the ferryman, was good. He is an
old and experienced actor, George White,
in the person Of Cromie Hyson, was finely
portrayed, and laconic, staocato w. t.
sheehan, as "Still Bill" brought down the
house every time. Martha Blodgett, the
servant, by Miss Selma Paxton, was I'M
mense and caused roars OF laughter. But
where AZ were so good il is needless to par
ticulArize. The torpedo explosion in the
river as the mail packet is coming down i'
a genuine sensation. The play will be re-
peaied this evening and will no doubt be

FRANK ARMSTRONG, who committed
suicide recently, in San Francisco, was
persecuted TO his death. He once
served brief term in the Oregon pen
itentiary for stealing an overcoat while
drunk. Being afterward restored to
honest employment in Portland, every
ex-convict who knew him blackmailed
him in sums ranging from 80 cents TO
$40, and kept him in constant fear Of
losing his place. He could stand the
persistent calls for money no longer,

THE CITY AND COUNTRY.

The Rev. Robert Collyer made the re-
mark ON one occasion that during his
twenty years residence in Chicago he
had not known Of q single man who. had
come prominently 10 the front in any
pursuit who was born and bred in a large
city. All the leading men in every call
ing-Judges, lawyers, clergymen, edit
ors, merchants, and so on-had been
reared in the country, away from the
follies, the vices and the snervating in
Auences that are known 10 exist in all
large towns. The New York Times takes
up the same subject, and says:
Fashion reduces all young men and
women to the same dull and uninterest-
ing level. New York is an old city. II
has produced generations Of men. How
few Of them have ever made their mark,
here or elsewhere II cannot be said
that they go into other parts Of the
country and there develop the higher
forms Of manhood. They are never heard
OF except in the aggregate, concrete
form Of our 'fellow-citizens. How much
Of man il due TO qualities born In him,
and how much 10 his early environment,
no philosopher has been able 10 tell US;
but il is impossible 10 conceive OF a
sagacious intellect like that Of Lincoln,
or glorious mind hike Webster's, emerg-
ing from the false glitter and noisy CON-
motion OF the city. We think oi Wash
