Washington Special. ~
There rather an amusing incident at the
Ebbitt House day or two ago. Senator Saw
yer, of Wisconsin. who was here en- route to
New York. met Senators Beck and Harris at the
hotel, and after passing the compliments of the
day, said, "Well, gentlemen, how do you like
your new administration"
We'll said Senator Beck, after waiting in
vain to hear from Harris, Il am tolerabiy well
satisfied. 1t beats the administration which
preceded it, anyhow. Yes, l am pretty we'll
satisfied"
80 am 1" said Harris, in way that showed
that he was about as happy at Beck, who, every
body knows, is not happy at all.
"Well, said Senator Sawyer, II think | can
tell you a story that will illustrate about how
we'll you pleased. Now promise that il
l hit it right abe first time you will own up
SO they promised.
well" he said, there were dozen fellows
up in our pine timber country who dubbed to-
gether one fall to go into the woods and cut logs.
They hadn't much money, and their plan was to
work together, mourning just as little expense
as possible, run their logs together and after
marketing them in the spring, divide. the money
equally. This plan was acceptable to all, when
it occurred to some ono that they should have
decided who should be cook for the party, It
was positively necessary that some one should
do the cooking, for they were determined not to
hire cook So they all fought against the duty.
But some one must do it, and so it was decided
that they should draw lots. and the ono
getting the longest should be cook, but if
any fellow complained of the cooking
he should take that duty himself and excuse the
first one selected. So they went into camp, and
the first duty that the new cook essayed was to
cook pot of beans. BY some chance he got
them altogether too SALT so much SO that they
entirely unfit to eat. The men were
hungry, however, and at meal time were
promptly on hand for their beans. Some of the
more cautious tasted them IN silence, but one
fall o1lx @fx1f
bolted whole mouthful, and sprnging to his
feet shouted in his disappointment, Great
heavens, how - salt these beans are"
then suddenly recalling their agreement about
the fate of the first kicker sat himself down
quickly and resumed his meal with the remark,
''but then like them salt" .r~
There was a roar from the knot Of politicians
who had gathered around to hear the converse
ton, and Beck and Harris said quietly: 81
guess you hit it right, Sawyer, we are pleased
with the administration, but we like salt"

THE Dead-letter Office, at Washington, is
said to have reached greater degree of
efficiency than ever before, and is more per-
feet in its workings than any similar Office in
other countries a dead letter is now passed
upon, resurrected so to speak, within three
days after it is received, and sent back, if pos
sible, to the writer or disposed of otherwise
according to the rules. The mailcarrying
system in the United States is wonderful
one, when the distances and the half-civilized
condition of portions Of the country are con-
sidered, and the almost absolute certainty
that a letter. though most carelessly directed,
will reach its destination or return to its
writer within a more than reasonable CELEBRITY,
is matter for wonder and congratulation.
1t is customary to complain of the mails delay
when a train is an hour late but, as matter
Of fact, the public is well served.

THE New York Times, the court organ, de-
clares by authority that President Cleveland
will not attempt to influence the election in
New York, either as to the nomination Of a
candidate or in the campaign to follow. On this
as on the Ohio matter, there are much words
that darken counsel. We are told one day
that the policy of the administration is to
keep hands off absolutely, and the next day
that it will extend all the help the postoffices
and other appointments will give. In the
face of such conflicting rumors, and still more
conflicting actions, we must be left to judge
upon the general average of human nature.

We do not believe Mr.. Cleveland will hesitate
to do what he may to have it appear that his
own State indorses his administration. So
far as we can see, there is a great deal of hu-
man nature in Grover Cleveland and the men
he has called around him. We do not detect
any special flavor of sanctity or political holi-
ness about them, and must regard all the pro
testations put forth by such prigs as the New
York Times and Post as the paltriest stuff,
with not even substitute sufficient to fool the
gudgeons they are after.

ogists Dr. Brehm visited the United States
shortly before his DEATH and lectured before
German audiences in most of the great cities.
His lecture III indianapolis was on Birds of
Passage Professor Brehm did not possess
or claim the systematic Journalism Of technical
biologists, in that respect being far behind
such men as Professor Spencer Baird, Brewer,
Ridgway and DIR. Eliot Coues, who have sys-
tematized the birds of North America.
Brehms greatness and uniqueness was in his
sympathetic comprehension of animals as iv-
ing beings, here allying himself with
such ornithologists as Audubon and
Wilson. Other works similar to
