wAsu1SaroS, July THE patience q
the President with oficeseckers Is well
nigh exhausted. Air. Cleveland entered
The White House with the idea that II
was his duty as representative Of the
whole people to listen to the advice, com,
plants and suggestions Of all who came
to see him upon Official business. After
struggling with the plaee-huatess and
politicians for nearly two months, giving
his entire attention every day Of the week
to their demands, Mr.. Cleveland was
obliged to set apart Saturday Of each
week for the transaction Of the busi.
ness Of his ofiee, and to deny him
self to all visitors on that day. He hoped
the spoiIsman would learn that his ap-
pointments were based upon his individual
Judgment Of the fitness Of applicants iron
the written recommendations presented
in their bahalf, and that he would be given
rest from the continual pleading and

than at any time since the 4Eh of March.

PostJmss Leases.

methods formerly pursued in the Depart
mentinleasing buildings rpostofices and
has arrived at the conclusion that in GER
tain cases where leases have been made
for a number Of yea.s, in come instances
for periods Of 20 years, the prices paid by
the Government were exhorbitant. The
Question was submitted TO the Attorney
General as to whether the Government
was bound by leases In such cases. In
his opinion the Attorney General held
that in the absence Of express authority
conferred by act OF Congress the Posi-
master General has no right 70 make .
lease for any period beyond the time Tor
which the appropriation was made. Tn:

LouIsvitEE, Kr., July 7.-Late this AZ
ternoon alr. Charles Leman, who lives on
Storey avenue; went to the bourbon stosk
yardsto buy a bullock. Finally he Sc
lsetsd a vigorous yoang animal, which
hka been brought from Texas, and 7Rss
rstkalsaild. Mr.. Leman, however, aptiei-
pated2 no danger, and was confident OH
ability to lead him home. He placed q
rope around the bullock's neck and
started homeWRrd with him. After 60
ing 4 little distance quite tractably, the
beast began to resist, and when Mr. Le-
man pulled at the rope made sudden
dart at him with lowered head and knock
ed him senseless. When the animal
found himself free he rushed at every
person in sight, batting with his horns
and endeayoFing Is trampie the ingitiyes
under his feet. Sl
Alter clearing the neigh hborhood, he ran
into green groeer's store, sending the
frightened clerks out by the back way.
The bullock was eontented with his new
quarters, and would not move from tie
room, all efforts to draw him out being
fruitiess, AS lsst resort, a large bull
dog. belonging 10 No. 10 Eagins house, was
sent into the grocery. After several mar
ros escapes from the sharp horns Of the
beaSt, the dog finally seized him by the
nose and brought him TO his knees. He
was then bound by ropes and killed.
The affair created great excitement in
the neighborhood, and drew quite crowd
to the spot. The go0ds in the store were
thrown in every direction and e1nsidera-
bly, damaged. Mr. LehmSn was not much
hurt, but would probably have been killed
had not the attention Of the fierce animal.
