BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
Probability that MIR. Fehrenbatch Will BE
Named for Commissioners


Named for Commissioners.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The long delay in ap-
pointing Commissioner Of Labor Statistics will
probably be ended Jan. 5, Oh which date it is
understood, the President has agreed to nomi-
nate Mr.. Fehrenbateh for the position. No
secret is made at the White House that the APP
pointment of Mr. Fehrenbatch is not a pleasing
one to the President He has, withheld Mr.
Fehrenbatch's commission for the past two
months simply because that gentleman's CON
duct. after it had become known he had been Sc
lected for the place, was not of a nature calcu-
lated to please an executive, whose ideas of de-
pertinent are as rigid as those of the President
Meanwhile, Secretaries Chandler and Freing-
huysen have been urging him to appoint either
Mr. Wright of Boston. or Mr.. Hill, the statis-
tican of the State Department. But Secretary
Teller who is backing Fehrenbatch. kept MAX
ing the point that, as the Office came within the
jurisdiction of the Interior Department, his
wishes in the matter ought to secure the first
consideration. 1t is evident that this argument
has proved conclusive with the President, for st
is said to-day, on the highest authority, shat
General Arthur has promised to appoint Fehren-
batch Immediately upon the reassembling Of
Congress-.

what an enormous task he would have before
him. There are between 10000 and $4,000 OF
them, and, taking low average, there will be
fifteen applicants for each place, all pushing
their claims. Just think of It'll Over 100000
names TO look over, and claims to examine, and
one man to do it. Why, it would kill himl By
waiting until the various postmasters' terms ex-
pire, he viii spread these out over four years,
and in that time he could attend to it."

A FLORIDA MocKING-BIRD.-A little
child in Jacksonville, Fla, formed friend
ship with a mocking- bird. The bird had
built nest in an orange grove near the
piazza where the child was accustomed to
play. The child discovered the nest and
soon began to throw crumbs on the piazza
for the bird, which, growing fearless,
would come to her feet to pick up the
crumbs. At length the child sickened and
died. The bird missed his benefactor, and,
when the body was lying in the coffin, was
seen to light on the window-sill of the room
and sing one of his sweetest songs. Soon
after he was found dead on the piazza,
whether from grief or from loss of accust-
omed food no one could say. But he was
laid tenderly On the coffin of the child, and
theywere buried in one grave.-C Christian at
