M'HENRY'S SMOOTH TONGUE.
n Man Who Induced Kings and Princes to

to get money out of gullible posseSsors than any

States years ago. When the construction of
railways was a popular mania, and the attention
of brains and capital was concentrated upon the
matter, he projected the Atlantic {: Great West
ern road that begins nowhere and ends nowhere
and went to Europe to procure the means of
building 1t. He found them. He saw the Span

veneer OF his scheme succeeded in inducing the
king, the princes ard the Spanish nobility
TO subscribe Salamanca, the oStepsible incep-
ton of his road, called for the duke of that
name. In France his success was no less graft

road did not yield the bonahZas its builders an
tlcipated, and a committee of the bOndholders
was sent over to examine into things This
committee was appointed at the instance OF
McHenry himself. They were feted, wincd

management of American road&4 and went home

GENERAL GRANT is dying in the cottage at
Mt. McGregor, and it is probable that before
this paper is read the wires will have borne
the news of the termination Of his great
career to all parts of the land. The old
commander is facing death with the calm
courage and brave heart that have so marked
and distinguished him in all the great crises
of his life, and the announcement of his ap-
preaching dissolution will stir feeling of
sympathy in the breast of every lover Of his
country.

Civil Service in the Philadelphia Mint.

May !, 1851 OF Colonel Snowden it has been
said that as postmaster of Philadelphia and
superintendent of the Mint 'he never dismissed
an employe except for cause that would have
justified similar action in any wel-regulated
business establishment" OF him it has been
declared in authoritative form that his adj
ministration of the Mint has been marked by
absolute fairness to employees the only rules
applied by him in promotions have been
fitness and ability, with entire absence
of personal or political bias All the present
heads of the departments, save one,
were appointed by the President on his recon-

positions. Every foreman appointed by him
came under the same rule so that under his

country ruined in fortune, with cloud i'm
pending over his name and his fame, and the
shadow of death already upon him. Since
then the cloud has lifted, leaving the name

brain and hands he has provided for his own,

MANAGER SIMON SHOCKED.
An Audacious Broker Enters Deimonico's in
HIS Shirt Sleeves and Is Served, Too.


HIS Shirt Sleeves and Is Served, Too.
New York Herald.
John Simoni, the genial manager of Delmon-
ico's Broad-street restaurant, received shock
yesterday afternoon which he thought was
paralysis, only it worse.
1t was just before 3 o'clock, when the side
walks were baking in the sun and the air was
arid as that Of the desert of Sahara Three gen
tlemen entered the restaurant and approached
the bar. The tallest who led the wav was n
well-knOwn broker AS he asked his friends
what should it be he blinded the barkeeper with
the sparkle Of a magnificent solitaire ring.
At this instant Mr. SimOnis eyes took in tho
group and he became parayzed with horror.
The tall gentleman was in his shirt sleeves. He
did not carry his coat on his arm. He had
left it in his Office next door Broad street. To
Mr.. SimOniS memory came dreadful recollec-
tions Of the tradition of just such terrible occur
renee in the remote past. He knew though that
it wouldn't do, and beckoring to the bartender
told him. more in sorrow than in anger, that the
rule was mo coat, no drinks"
Yes sir; but its Mr.. -" said the embar-
raised compounder Of thirst killers.
''No matter if it's Mr. William II. Vanderbilt,
President Cleveland, he shall not be served in
his shirt sleeves in this house." retorted Mr.
Simoni, with becoming dignity.
The bartender sadly returned 70 his post, tim
idly called the gentlemans attention in whisper
to his cool but unconventional costume, aud
Informed him that he could not have drink.
The few men who observed this little scene and
noted the young brokers' powerful frame hast
ened to order their drinks before the barkeeper
should be smashed But they did not know their
man He only laughed and said:
''All right Go ahead and give these two
gentlemen what they have ordered"
Two glasses of a frgid and foaming beverage
were set out before the friends, who were about
to drink svmpathizngly with their hosts loss.
when, with eyes twnking with fun, he said to
the younger Of his companions:
'Billy, lend me your coat for minute. And
now. he continued, addressing the bar tender
while he leisurely pulled on the garment give
me claret punch"
The bar tender grinned and looked helplessly
toward Mr. Simoni as he proceeded to mix the
beverage The three friends clnked their glasses
and sighed All" in chorus. as they set them
down empty. Then the coat was returned to its
owner and they went away refreshed, AS the
tall broker passed out he noticed Mr.. Simonis

ALABAMA like other States in this great

Legislature in times past At any rate it
passed law defining incendiarism, and re-
curing as proof that there must be charred
timber to establish the offense. Recently
three negroes attempted to burn house by
saturating the beams with kerosene. The fire
was discovered and extinguished before the
beams were charred, being merely blackened.
The offenders escaped on this technicality.

British steel-clad boat seems as clumsy as that
of the alleged American navy. During
marine exhibition the other day one torpedo
boat exploded its boiler, one gunboat was dis
masted, one iron clad was set on fire and one

to American vessels, Secretary Whitney
would have been unspeakably happy, and
could easily have manufactured considerable
material for bis boom.

The British navy during the last half
dozen years, has lost men of-war in the or
binary vicissitudes OF marine weather, and
with most disastrous results in the way of
loss of life. An iron-sheathed vessel, with
steel plates from eighteen to twenty-five
inches in thickness, cannot at best be as
broyant as a wooden vessel, or one with an
ordinary steel hull. In gale they are in
danger Of capsizing. 1t cannot be otherwise,

THE costly repairs that were made on
American cruisers arose from the fact that
picayune Congresses would make no appropri-

the vessels known as repaired vessels are near

THE employment Of Pinkerton's men for
the repression of strikers has often provoked
the latter to violence that might have been
avoided but for the bringing in of professional
police. 1t is hateful thing to realize that
law and order are being enforced by men
hired for that purpose and brought from a
distance. There is a mercenary feature about
it that can but have bad effect No man
or men like to have their af-
fairs interfered with by men imported
at price for that purpose 1t is clearly
the duty Of local authorities to regulate local
affairs, and if these fail because of inadequate
numbers, it is then the business Of the State
to come to the aid of municipal and county
authorities. Ordinarily this has been found
to be sufficient and If it is not it is pertinent
TO ask if something besides force be mot
needed. The hiring Of Hessian police is an
aggravation that challenges resentment and
