''Well, how are you getting along?" said the
Governor cheerily.

The Governor, who is a very soft-hearted
man, was so touched by the mans evident
affictiOn that ne hadn't the heart TO ask him
for the money, and sent him away.
A few days afterWard he met friend who
knew his afflicted client. and remarked to
HIM that the man seemed to take his wife's
death very hard indeed
Take it hard;" laughed the other; ''why,
she's been dead five years, and he married

1t is not unusual for Congress to enact
laws without having clear understand
ing of the matters to which the laws APP
ply. A few days ago Kansas Congress-
man appeared before a prominent Treas
ury official and insisted that no further
reduction should be made in the force
employed in the Federal buildings at To-
peka. He was told that the
appropriation was insufficient to support
the force then employed, and that twenty
per cent. of the employees would have to
be discharged. The official further re-
minded the Congressman that when the
appropriation bill was in committee he
WAS informed that the appropriation for
the Kansas employees was too small, and
that be, the Congressman, had replied
that he knew all about the wants of the
Federal employees in Kansas.
In Juna, 1884, the law making it com
pul-ory on American vessels to carry the
foreign mails was repealed, and the sum
OF 100000 was appropriated TO pay yes
sells TO carry these mails. The Postmaster
General was authorized 20 contract for
this foreign mail service at the rate OF 90
cents per nautical mile. The able legis-
lators did not take the trouble TO inform
themselves relative TO the sum that
would be required for foreign mail SER
vice at the rate of 80 cents per nautical
mile, and the Postmaster General is having
a great deal of trouble with the agents OF
steamship lines in trying to hit upon some
plan TO get the mails carried for the money
at hts disposal. Il Is found that NJ the
rate allowed by law, the sum of Si,2lO,O
is required.
These are only two Of the many in
stances Of the careless way that import
ant matters are handled by Congressional
! committees and by Congress.

From reports which have come from Iowa

neither law nor courts. This however, Is not
the case. Tne State has courts, and courts Of
some ability, which are doing som ething to-
ward settling the law. Her supreme Court,
for instance, has just succ eeded IN deciding

va Mr. Hendriel.s Disappointed at Yale


Though the newspapers have not touched
upon the subj ct, have it on good authority
that Vice President Hendricks has Just suf-
fered pretty keen disappointment, not to
say embarrassment. " hen he was invited 10
deliver the annual address before the Y ale
Law school it was not unnatural that he
should see something more in the invitation
than the mere glory of an opportunity to dis
course learnedly before a little band Of stu
dents. Two years ago Secretary Bayard
went up to Yale from Delaware, delivered
this same address, and was hOnored with the
title IL. d. Last year Gov. HOadly jOurneyed
thence from Ohio, took the law school plat
form as Mr.. Bayard had done, and in the same
way accepted the LII. d. The rule stared
Mr.. Hendricks in the face. lie had no rea-
son to doubt that the same honor was await
ing him. Indeed. it is SAID by one IN a posi-
ton to know that it was pretty directly init
mated to the indiana statesman that his
honorary degree waited only for his accept
ance. But Mr.. Hendricks discovered soon
after his arrival in the college town that his
expectations had blOssOmed IN vain. Yale's
corporation, for reasons best known within
the inner circle, had selected others for her
honors. The rule which had given dignity to
Bayard and HOadly and others was broken
1t Is not recorded that Mr.. Hendricks used
language that was animated over the matter,
but q gentleman who knows asserts that the
Vice President did not seem to consider it an
inflictOn to stay up till / o'clock in the morn
ing in order TO get an Out-of- town train that
would hurry him over TO Boston.
