A Levei-neaded Crazy Man.

A rich old man named Dickinson,
down in Massachusetts, recently died,
willing his property to establish hos
pital for the poor. Having many
nephows and nieccs who got nothing,
he was, of course, insane to think of
such thing. 1t appears that he used
to say sharp, sometimes profanc, things
about women; strip himself and take
SUM- baths in the middle OF the day;
wash his body and scrapc it with
razor; was puzzled about putting out
kerosene lamp-but Mt least never blew
out the gas lost the key of his room af-
ter he locked it; washed his head in the
ice-watcr of the drinking fountain; sat
on tho kitchen table and amused the
servants by singing songs wore old
clothes and plush hat; distorted Bible
verses; and was evidently one of the
eccentric, whimsical, independent old
'chaps" of which nearly every old set
tied community has one or moro speci-
mems.
The usual expert was present, who
testified that man acting in this fash
ion must be insane, and unable to dis
pose OF his property properly, especial
ly if he had numerous nephews and
nieces who thought he should have left
it TO them.
Many business friends and lifelong
acquaintance declared either that they
had never seen any of these perform
ancos, or II they had, they meyer knew
them to Interfere with his shrcWlncgs.

From uur Regular Corrcspon dent,
WASHINGTON LETTER.


The exodus Of Government clerks
from Washington to be used at home
for voting purposes has never been SO
grcat as at this falls Republican dam
par. In the face of the Civil Service
law, these men are furnished with
TRANSPORTATION to their homes, and IN
many eases their entire trip expenses
are borne, if not from the public treas
ury, nobody knows where. From the
Government Printing Office SO many
have left that the place has about the
same appearance this week that it has
on the Sabbath day. When it is re-
mcmbcrcd that there are $4,000 voters
here to be distributed among the sever
al states, and as there is likely to he a
close fight in many of them, we can
see the reason for this gathering of the
Republican bans aud concentrating
them Upon the country bollot-boX.
This very morning the alarm comes
from Republican Wisconsin that calls
for the last man from the Badger State
who has vote to 90 home and cast it.
The same protection dodge, that de-
ieatcd Hurd in Ohio, is being worked
to the threatened disaster Of Mr.. Nor
rison III Ili'ois. The opponent of Mr.,
Morrison is Tom Needles, the former
State Auditor. who is very popular and
therefore very adaptable to the various
elements of the population that he mix
es with. Morrison beat knetfner two
years ago with 2,4OO majority and I'M
der n free trade issue. but it is proka'
bic that Needles with his popularity
and redoubled protection onslaught
will prove n more dangerous foe for
Mr.. MorrisOn'S steel.
The man who has talked and written
more about finance and demonstrated
that he knew less about it than any
body else, has received the portfolio Of
the Treasury in the place Of Mr..
Gresham, who takes life place on the
bench as the successor OF Judge Drum
mond. McCulloch's vagarieS us Sec
rotary of the Treasury once before,
were the laughing stock OF the whole
financial world, except the few sharks
in Wall street into whose hands he was
constantly playing the Government S
best trumps. 1t is Wall street now
that has demanded of Mr.. Arthur the
reinstatement of the same McCulloch
who believes that boarding five hundred
millions of dollars in the Treasury to
lie idle, while this couatry's industrial
industries are going to the dogs, is the
true theory of successful financiering.
With all our pretended perfection in
the matter of transporting the mails of
the country, the complaints come in at
the rate Of twenty thousand per year
OF the loss of valuable letters. Of
these i.G4l contained enclosures of
money, comprising checks, drafts and
currencv. of which number the efficient
detective force of the Post Office De-
partment succeeded in running down
about 800 of them as having finally
reached their destination. though no
mention is made of the 5000 that did
not. 1t is gratifying to be informed
however, that the percentage of con-
yictons in the Federal courts for viO-
lations Of the Post Office laws is on the
increase. for ont of the Cos offences
tried in these courts 439 We're convict
ed, SO acquitted, and 1jl yet on trial.

Judah p. Bcnjamin's Ancestry.

heard fact or two about Judah p.
Benjamin's early life the other day,
which were new 10 me- His father was
small, dark skinned Spanish Jew,
who kept little fruit shop on Market
street, Charleston, S. G.. Benjamin
early life was spent in that shop. He
was educated by the Hebrew Orphan
society of Charleston. He was grass
orphan by that time. His mother. disa-
grecing with his father, had left her
home and gone to Beaufort, where she
opened a general country store. Forty
years ago she was conducting it sue
cessfully. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Benia-
min were devoted adherents to the
grand old religion of their fathers, and
Judah ?. Benjamin was educated in it.
He has always retained his respect for
his race, although he married n gentle
and has never been identified with the
Jewish church. You remember his
fine reply in tho senate, when he was
tainted, in Il hot debate, with being a
Jew. 1.-The senator" he said, rising
gracefully, and speaking in his usual
silvery way, twill please remember
that when his half-civilized ancestors
were hunting the wild boar in the for
ests of Slcsia, mine were the princes of
the earth" The senate was electrified
and the carping senator was silenced.
