Boston,s New Collector of Customs

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The president
this afternoon appointed Hon. Leverett
Saltonstall collector of customs at Boston
in the place of Roland Worthington, re-
moved Mr.. Saltonstall is graduate of
Havard university and lawyer by profess
sion, but for some years has not been en-
gagged in active practice. He has been
Democrat since the disruption of the Whig
party, and for many years has been an
active and influential member of the party
in his state, repeatedly representing the
Democrats in national conventions. In 1876
he was one of Mr.. Tilden's most trusted
advisers, and his speech in that campaign
was circulated by the Democratic national
committee. When the contest in Florida
arose after the election, he was was selected
as one Of the visiting statesmen to protect
Mr.. Tilden's interest in that state. He
recently declined the civil service commits

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-There is grow
ing feeling here that the changes in offices
will be much more frequent now. The
president feels that the result in Virginia
and New York is an Endorsement OF his ad-
ministration which cannot be misunder-
stood and that he is little more at liberty
now to move about as he pleases. He is
a good deal released now from the
Mugwump influences. He feels that
he is no longer under obligations
to them, since they fought the New York
candidate, with whom he now says ne was
all the time in full accord. When, too,
there is less restraint as to the senate.
There seems little prospect now that the
president is going to be fought by the
members of his own party in the senate,
and as there is no evidence of any combined
attack upon him by the Republicans, he
feels pretty secure. The work OF removing
of1icehoIders will, it is believed. go on now
more vipOrouSIV than ever

whitney,s PrecautEon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-In reference to
Secretary Whltney's order sending the Ten
nessee and Galena to the Isthmus of Pan
anna, the Star says that it is inferred that
he is anxious to prevent another outbreak
similar to that of last spring, which will
endanger the isthmus transit, rendering this
government liable for damage, and quotes
naval officer as saying:
1--WE haven't receivedsthe bill for the burn
ing of Aspinwau yet, but it will be along TINS
winter and there will be quite howl about It.
Damages to the extent of several million dol
lars were caused by the burning OF Asp1n-
wall, and it looks very much as il the govern
ment would be compelled to foot the Dill.
We guaranteed to keep the transit open.
Colombia could not do it, and in the event OF
it's failure the responsibility rested on our
shoulders We opened the transit, but before
that was done Aspinwall was burned and
millions of dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed. The people who suffered will expect
remuneration. and as l said, Will Send Jne
bill to the United States.
A BIG CLAIM.
NEW YORK, Nov. "a Washington
special says: the sudden ordering OF Ad-
miral Jouett to the Isthmus Of Panama is
the sole topic of conversation i'll naval
circles. It is said that the people of As
pinwall have preferred claims aggregating
between 81, 200, 900 and $4,000, 600, which
will be presented to congress for payment.
This is a claim for property destroyed
during the late troubles and for which it is
alleged that this government is responsible.
Admiral Jouett's mission is in connection
with this matter.

Old Farmer drudge was determined TO trudge
In tho Same old way that his father went;
To toll and 10 slave, TO pinch ana 10 save,
Nor TO spend on pleasure single cent.
His tools were few, and so rusty, too,
For want of the necdful drop of oil,
That creaky and slow they were forced to go,
And added much To his daily toll.
His crops were scant, for he would not plant
Enough 10 cover his narrow field;
But grumbed and growlod and always

At harvest over the mcagcr yield.
And from the paltry store on the threshins

Unexpected Company.

Years ago my husband and l went to
visit cousin living some twenty miles
away. We did not reach her home
until past her usual dinner hour. She
seemed much pleased to see us, and
soon said she supposed we had not
dined, and then, eNcusing herself, dis
appeared. Time passed on. We were
shut Gin the cool, close, seldom used
parlor, and amused ourselves, as poo
pie generally do under such circum.
stances, in looking over albums. No
sound reached us from the distant
kitchen. After long, long time, we
were ushered out to dinner, and such
a dinncr!-as elaborate as we should
have expected ut any country hotel.
while our hostess, tired and warm, did
the honors of the table as gracefully
as she could under the circumstances.
How much happier we should have
felt, and how much moro We should
have enjoyed ourselves, had wo been
treated to bread and milk, or bread
and butter, and cup Of tea!
Again, not many years ago, my hus-
bands mother and l went out to spend
the afternoon, and our hostess soon
after our arrival got dish of apples,
and after pairing and cutting them,
proceeded to make thcm into pies for
supper-not because she had nothing
else, but because what she had did not
suit her. Now in case of sudden sick
ness woman may get out OF food, but
there is no other excuse for such an
emptiness of tho larder rs to necessitate
cooking when visitors come in, how
ever unexpectedly. As have said be-
fore, never allow the bread jar or cake
box to become empty; and where one
has q dining room, with table set all
the time, It is q good plan to keep one
or two places ready for the unexpected
friend.
People in cities have the advantage
of us country people in one thing; they
can send out and got bread, meats, cake
and pies of all sorts ut moments no.
tice all cooked and often warm. We
can not do it, and arc more liable to
company Mt mealtimc than are they;
therefore, Il becomes us 10 be on our
guard, and by all means let us set be-
fore our friends what we have on hand
rather than spend the chief part of the
time they are with us cooking. Good
bread and butter. baked apples, cheese,
or n bit of salt fish or few crisp
pickles and n basket of cake, cookies,
or even good new gingerbread. with q
pleasant hostess. n . all that Is needed
