An Uniust Attack.

Tho following statement is made in q
Washington dispatch to the New York Tri-
bune:
Among treasury officials Mr.. John s. Lang
wOrthy's appointment is considered out of the
question. Mr.. Langworthy Is now the deputy
comptroller, but is regarded as without ability for
tho position OF comptroller. He is man that does
not attend very strictly TO business and AT his best
is only medi ocre routine man.
This reflects the grossest injustice upon Mr..
Langworthy. For twelve years he has acted
as deputy comptroller and has been dis
tinguished for the careful attention he has
given to the duties of his position and zeal
with which ho has served the public. II
there is anything in civil service Mr.. Lang
worthy has the first right to fill the vacant
comptrollership. His selection would be
much more appropriate than that of other
treasury officials whose names have beon
mentioned. The selection OF any official out
side of the comptroller's Office would DO an
insult to that office. 1t may DO added that
Mr.. Langworthy gained his present position
after competitive examination under the
civil service rules when first enforced during
Grants administration. N.

 ONE SUMMER DAY.
BY sYLvIAE. WALSH.

'SI p in the east through the mist of the cloud aase the gods of day, and the sable shroud <a night grew pale and the hills and streams f2<siecied the smiles oi his glorious beams. xTae fieecy clouds in their splendor rolled Azure and silver and red and gold. Tae faint perfume from woodland bowers W<zs borne on the breeze as it kissed the
 flowers.
 Laad came the songs of wild birds gay, And the soaring lark sang Hail to Day.
 NOON. The sun sent down his fercest rays, And the bold eyed eagle scarce dared 10 gaze Ga the face of the monarch oi the cloudless
 skies.
 Vhe fainting flowers, no strength to rise, 6 u, dropped from the piti,ess, merciless glare el [ the monday sun. and rushing where 4 streamlet flowed, the cattle stood 10 their knees in the cooling flood.
 NIGHT. fhe stars came txinkling one by one, And called 10 each other the day is done .'' Soft and slow did the shadows fall From out the pines came the whippoorwill's
 call,
 Thc sky above grew an inky black, Hue cross shone bright in its milky track, Over hill and dale fell nights sable pail, .. Tu whit, Tu who :" came the old owls all Tue las, faint light had faded away, And So night ended :" one summer day."

The effect of this mile-a-mlnute howl on ;he boys up stairs IS electrical. A cry of flre at theatre is nothing to it. Every one instantly drops whatever he is at and there IS Niagara of men down that stairway Tn halt second. In fact, the "lunch-fend,' as he IS lovingly called. barely escapes with his life every night He launches forth his terrible cry and springs out of the way. It is as it dam had broken loose, but although the boys are undoubtedly in hurry have never heard such word break loose as they come pell-mell down that stairs.
 A stranger migh, think they had noth- ing to cat for week by the way they rush, but that is no. the reason. At thai hour of the night in a newspaper office every moment IS golden. They rush to save time.
 Each one helps himself to coffee or milk and such of the viands as suits him. The fiend hands ou, whatever is called for, and in d dozen places at once. It beats any en-minu,es-for-refresh business that ever existed. In a very few moments the late mail," as an Irish typo called 1t, is wreck.
 Quick consumption kills 1t, and the boys are up stairs at work again the pro- vender is exceedingly good, plain and well-cooked. Each dish costs but five cents and the score is settled then and there, although weekly tickets are given. What becomes of the Lunch Fiend in the daytime never could find out. He comes out of the unknown with a full cart and carte, and goes back in again till next midnight.
 Without this useful man we might be able to get out paper, but not for long. It would be a very weak-kneed sheet, with fiabby opinions and a generally sombre view of life
 A few minutes after |, the rush is over and types are clicking again, and the roar of the iron wheel cutting through the stcrec-piaies begins 10 be heard. The Lunch Fiend patiently washes the dishes and puts them in the cupboard again. As he turns out the gas
 He feels like one who treads alone
 Some banquet hall deserted:
 The mirth all fled, the garlands dead
 sor words 10 that effect,
 And ali but him depar,ed.'i
