public man who is forced to talk to reporters Of
all degrees finds now and then, when he reads the
papers, that he has been uttering transcendcnC
nonsense-ir the reporter is to be believed The
Reralds report of n talk with Senator sherman is
the latest case in point He is made TO say that
the Senate passed a tariff act by which among
other things duty was levied on wool :" also that
there are in Ohio large numbers Of farmers who
raise sheep and consequently (sicD WOOL They
naturally did not feel pleased at the placing of a
duty on wool" A photograph of this reporters
mind with reference to the duty on wool would re-

The Rev. Mr.. HoughtOn, of New-IIaven, whose
sermon upon the Lewis trial has made him famous
is fond not only of fast preaching but OF fast
driving. If the newspaper reports do not do him in
Justice it is his ambition to the fastest horse IN
New Haven, and when he finds one of greater speed
than his own no straightway buys him. just now
it appears that there is some scandal not only
among his congregation but among the gentlemen
of the turf, who probably not so strict in their
ideas, because Mr. HOughtOn's horse BOrax was en-
tered in the Danbury under the name OF Allen
and as the property of dentist named Brothers.
To change the name of horse without due notice Is
q serious matter on the turf. Betting men cannot
keep track of the records of horses if their names
are constantly changed. So fine of $50 was I'M
posed and "Allen" did not run, because Mr..
Brothers had not the money. On Tuesday the horse
appeared at the New-Haven races under his real
name, but it was announced that he could not run
until the Danbury fine had been paid, and another
for changing the name back from Allen 10
BOTax. Both were paid by Mr.. HoughtOn, the horse
won the race, and cleared profit for him. Now the
question is whether Mr.. HOughton's congregation
will be pleased with conduct which even the turf
men do not regard as proper.

General Raum, who was for more than six years a
most efficient Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
makes some suggestions in The North american
ReUiclo regarding the Civil Service. Not being in
sympathy with the Civil Service Reform movement
in all its features General Raum is anxious to show
the excellent condition of the service under the par
tisan system. lie shows that, in the Treasury De-
pnrtmcnt of a total force OF $3.50, l35 have served
twenty years and upward i25, fifteen years; IA,
ten years and 50 on the average tenure being
nearly ten years In the Internal Revenue Bureau
the terms of service of nearly OuC-half range from
thirteen to twenty-one. He seems to think the ten
years average too high, for while he comedies that
the competitive examinations will be- beneficial, he
rcsatcs the idea often urged 10y him in his official
reports that there should he four years term for
clerks who would be eligible for rcappointment for
another term of four years. This idea, fortunately,
has never found favor in Congress 1t would afford
clerks a limited sense of security during the four

A shakcspearean jury has been collected on the
Rhode Island coast TO interpret Growers law The
body of man which had been in the water so long
as to be utterly unacceptable was washed ashore
near Watch Hill light and duly inspected by the
Coroner and his associates. There was no possible
clow either to the mans identity TO the cause OF
degth. The men connected with the hfe-saylng
station explained when and where they had found
tho body, aud there was no other evidence. The
jury, however, after period of profound reflection
rendered verdict that the deceased had come to his
death as the result of misfortune. In reaching this
conclusion they were not apparently Influenced by
tho fact that the man was dressed in knt-rbOed
woolen shirt with blue cotton jumper over II, nor
by tho presence Of an India ink mark on the inside
of his right arm. Probably their judgment that 1t
was "a death from misfortune was based upon dis
eliminating series of argas to the effect that the
man had not gone to the water and consequently
that tho water must have come to him, and lie
that is not guilty of his own death shortens not his
own life" but is only the victim Of misfortune.

1t is of some little interest to note that the vote in
Ohio was not the largest ever cast, a. many have
said. The total vote. finally announced by the
Cincinnati newspapers, nearly week after the
election, is 7Il69l. This is 5000 below the vote
Oh Secretary Of State in 1850, and 10000 below the
vote Oh President in that year. Some Of the papers
there arc discussing question which must have oc-
Cured to any reading the iatcr returns
whether tho majority against the Prohibition
amendment was correctly stated at 10000, or
whether it should have been 80 900. TO be
adopted the amendment must receive u majority OF
all the votes cast at the election, and the amend
ment therefore required 800 S4G votes to carry. 1t
received 800 Sos and fell 80 los votes short of
the number recorded. But under the law all bal
lots not bearing the word Yes are counted in the
negative, whether the ballot said No or not.
Counting in this way there were 39O,9s3 votes
against the amendment, aud majority of 7O37J.

Without desiring at this time to plunge into the
Euglish-Irish division of foreign politics, we beg
leave to suggest 10 that committee of Justices which
decided that ODounell should not be allowed to re-
sumo the chewing of tobacco, that they are too
hard-h for this world. History has pillOried
Nero as a master Of cruelty. But Nero was never
accused of stopping u feIlow-creaturc's tobacco"
The justices in question may be just, but post
norton examination would surely disclose the fact
that they are destitute of bowels Of compassion.

Gen. Sherman's kissing.
Washington Letter to the Cincinnati Con

mercial.
General Shermon is fond of kissing
young ladies. He says he fell into the
habit when quite young. He cannot re.
sist the temptation to salute a pair of
rosy lips. The time or place makes no
difference with him. If the general had
devoted half the time he has spent in
kissing young ladies on the babies he
would probably have been p~residentlonp
ago.
An incident occurred a day or two ago
that illustrates the generals fearless ma.
ture. A bright-eyed brunette had lust
alighted with her mother from q car.
rage in front of thd Ebbitt House. The
street was filed with people as wellsas
the hotel lobby. The hero of the ma .ch
to the sea appeared in the entrance.
"Why, my dear. how do you dot"
and the white-haired veteran rushed
forward and caught the young woman
around the waist and before she could
help herself kissed her two or three
times fairly on her lips. The young lady
blushed as red as a peony. She did not
object to the kissing, but the publ city
was too much. Disengaging herself from
the generals arms she said, with a pref
ty pout of her lips: General, how dare
you take such a liberty with mel"
"Tut, tut, child" was the reply, 81
am old enough to be your father; yes,
even your grandfather" Young men
who have attempted to initiate General
Sherman in kissing every pretty girl
they meet have met with disastrous re.
suits. The generals white hairs seem to
give him immunity. He once said
when I come to die 1 shall ask to have
a bevy of young ladies gather around my
bed and kiss me to dealh. In parting
from earth I wish to have a taste Of

Sitting Bun as a worker.

W Nj
Captain Belk of the steamer Josephine
says that as a worker Sitting Bull is hard
to beat. On a trip recently to Standing
Rock, the captain was minus the neces-
sary number of laborers and on his ar
rival at that point he applied to an IN
terpreter to arrange with Sitting Bull
for the help in the work of unloading
over a hundred tons of freight. After a
short consultation, Mr.. Bull called his
warriors together and told them that
the Great Father had sent a boat load
of good things for them to eat, but he
white men to unload It. When the
smoke from their pipes of consideration
had vanished from infnitude fifteen
stalwart red men signified their willing
ness to lay aside their blankets and
bare their shoulders to the labor of
removing the freight. The afable
Mr.. Bull acted as mate in charge of
his bronzed gang. After a few hours Ia
Dor, and just rs the sun was sinking to
rest, the warriors quietly discontinued
work and took their seats upon the bank.
The captain was surprised and suppos-
ing that his newly enlisted men had or
ganized a genuine white mans strike,
he hastened to enquire into the cause of
the trouble. His fears vanished when
he was asked if it was not time to eat,
and after supplying the aboriginal labor
ers with the s~ubstantials, work was con-
tinued until the cargo was all on terra
frma. Fifteen bright silver dollars were
then distributed among the braves, when
Sitting Bull came forward, and informed
the captain ~ that hat his sam services vices night 3 %o,1 be
