the heads of bureaus in their Offices and took
official leave of them. All of the retiring Off

days, and have had an unusual amount of time

Chandler meekly folded his hands across his
breast, and significantly said: "Gentemen,
am ready, but give me time to pray" Secre-
tary Chandler was about to ask Mr.. Wheeler
what had become of the "jedges," when that
hurriedly proceeded to the next
room as If he had forgotten something; and re-
turned with four big fellows from Alabama,
whom he presented as the judges. The party
was then complete, and all present enjoyed the
jokes which were passed around.
