THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE.

The advantages arising both 10 tn,
presid, mt and country at large IRON tn,
presence in the cabinet of experienced
statesmen and politicians, are strikingly
shown in the character Of the consular
and diplomatic appointments that hav,
been made at Washington within tn,
past month.
ENDIcoTT, WHITNEY and Villas have
had but little to do, comparatively, with
politics, while Mr.. 'MANNING's expert
ence and knowledge of men, Is confined
principally to New York. Their alb
sence for years past from Washington
especially the legislative chambers and
circles there, has prevented that OK
tended and familiar acquaintance with
public men or officials that is enjoyed
| by LAMAR, GARLAND and BAYARD. Mr..
CLEVELAND himself knows next TO
nothing of the specia. standing and
character of "a large majority OF the
members of the senate and house of
representatives or well-known politi-
clans of the different states. His selec-
partmeDtal positions indicates unmis-
takably this fact.
Ii has been the custom from time inn
memorial TO select gentlemen for office
from the different states, upon the rec
ommendation of the senators and con-
gressmen of those states. IL is of mo-
ment, therefore, to the appointing
rover to know the character and stand
ing of the men who recommend others
that the character and standing and
ability of those recommended may be
known Faithfully. The cabinet officer
on terms of familiar acquaintance with
tho members of congress and senators
OG the United States, knows whose rec
concentration TO take and depend upon,
and will in his appointments, or those
made upon his request, be more apt to
get good and able men than VIII that
officer who knows neither the appli-
cant nor the man urging and endorsing
him.
II is from this fact chiefly that the re
cent consular and diplomatic appoint
meuts based largely upon Mr.. BAY
ARp's selections aud recommendations,
have given such general satisfaction.
His large experience and acquaintance
with public men and public affairs has
bean of service 10 him. The appoint
morts under the state department have
been without exception, excellent and
heartily approved by the country at
large.
The selection of such experienced
men, therefore, in the cabinet OF BAY
ARD, LAMAR and GARLAND, men taken
fresh from the whirlpool of present az
tive, political and official life, was not
only wise thing for the president to
do, nut is another illustration of that
good fortune which has been CLEvE
LANDS constant attendant from his
cradle.

The TrI-Co,or over strasbourg.

A Paris newspaper prints sensa

I French flag floats once moro over the
spires of Strasbourg. The statemen'

Everyone has heard of the storks that
next to the cathedral, have been fol
centuries the pride of the town. These
birds, having obtained their food on the
ground, are accustomed to fly on the
roofs of the highest buildings, not even
neglecting the most lofty church spires.
A dyer succeeded in capturing some OF
these storks, which he proceeded TO Or
nament in manner that would give ex-
preston TO his p4triotisn. He colored
one wing red and and the other blue,
leaving the body white. The body and
extended wings resembled flag, and
represented the three colors on tho
French ensign.
Having cOlOred the birds to his fancy,
he restored item To freedom, when
they at once rose high over the city and
settled on the roofs OF the churches.
Many of the old French citizens raised
a shout of joy as they again saw the
once familiar Jri-color in the sky. The
fury of the German authorities was so
great that they at first proposed to shoot
the innocent standard Before
