want Office or those who Lave them and want
to make themselves solid by reporting some ir-
regularity that has come under their notice. The
fascinating appointment Clerk undertakes to
relieve the Secretary of these, and at almost any
hour in the day rare collection of females may
be found in his Office Some of them are rosy
checked country maidens in homespun gowns
and lots Of green ribbons on their hats Others
are not so innocent nor as plainly clad Some are
strong minded, angular women, and others are
decidedly weak-minded young girls, who have an
idea that there are great prospects for inde-
pendence opened up to them in official life.
While dealing with these Higgins seems to be
in his element His favorite expression, as
he steps up to them with sweet smile and
nonchalant air. is, s'Well, my DEAR what can I

urging him for the sake of mercy to give her
something to do. She had little boy by the

to her was the kindest l have ever seen como
from an official, and it surprised me most after
seeing his peculiar familiarity with many others.
He treated her very respectfully, and assured
her over and over again that she should have
an appointment Directly afterwards a very
stylishly dressed and altogether fashy-looking
woman came in, and in moment the versatile
Higgins was seated in front OF her to listen to her

come to complain about the bad air of the room
she had to work in, and to insist upon being
placed in the Secretarys Office She complained
that the people in the room that made her sick
were nasty. mean, spying things and that the
chief had set some of them to watching her

the same time gentleman in the Office she
had known for sixteen years was off on sick

her voice was most pitiful, and she launched
off into promise to furnish the necessary
charges to secure the removal of great

Hartington's Expected Statement.

LONDON. May 1.-THE Daily News expects
that the Marquis of Harrington, Secretary for
War, will announce in the House of Commons
to-day the definite withdrawal of the British
troops from the Soudan, and the abandonment
of the expedition to Khartoum. 1t believes
that he will also announce favorable progress in
the negotiations on the Afghan frontier in every
way acceptable to the Ameer Tho News
says it is believed that the Irish
Liberals, who supported the government on
the 9th inst in defeating the Conservative
amendment to the English registration of voters
bill, which provided that the cost of registra-
tion should be charged to the treasury, instead
of to the local rates. have decided to vote against
the government tomorrow on Sir Massy's
motion to insert a clause providing the
expense of the registration be charged to the
Treasury. The government considers the matter
of vital Importance, and if tie motion is carried,
the result may be very grave. Mf. Parnell has
issued a strong. whip to his followers to
be present at the division of this motion. The
grievance of the Parne,lites is that the govern
ment refuses to give its assurance in respect to
the provision of sufficient sum for the expenses
of the registration of votes in Ireland.

THE GOLD RESERVE.
Plans for Meeting the Emergency Caused by
the Heavy Decrease in Gold.

Plans for Meeting the Emergency Caused by
the Heavy Decrease in Gold.
Washington Special.
The rapid decrease in the amount of gold
owned by the government is beginning to at
tract general attention here and the question as
to what should be done in the emergency is be-
coming serious one. In view of the fact that
exchange is so near the Shipping point some fear
is expressed that there will be flow of gold out
of the country, which will doubtless hasten
the complications of the situation The
decrease of gold coin during the month
Of April amounted to Sc, O0O 600, while theae was
a corresponding increase in the number OF tho
deprecated silver dollars that stored away in
the Treasury vaults. But it should be said that
a year ago the gold reserve ran down to a lower
point than now. Deductng all gold liabilities
that were likely to be presented, there was at
that time left a balance of free gold amounting
to only $104, 600, 600. To meet the emergency
that is threatened, it is provided in the bank
charter act that when the gold coin and bullion
reserve falls below $l00,000,0 600 the Secretary
of the Treasury shall suspend the issue OF gold
certificates, and it is not improbable that Mr..
Manning will soon be compelled to resort to the
powers conferred in that act. However, those
who have studied the subject are at loss to un-
derstand how the suspension OF the issue OF
gold certificates is going to increase the gold
serve. Last year when the gold reserve ran
down so low, Secretary Foger increased it by in
creasing the legaltender note payments at the
New York Clearing house to at least 80 per
cent of each days balance, but as this ratio Of
payment has been maintained since, it is clear
that other means must be found to counteract
the present drain of gold from the Treasury
Some are inclined to the opinion that Secretary
Manning may endeavor to protect his gold by
largely increasing the payments in standard dol
lars, and it is even limited at the Treasury
that clearing house balances as we'll as other in
debtedness may be paid in great part, if not en-
tirely, with these deprecated coin dollars, and
that, too, within a short time.

GENERAL GRANTS IMPROVEMENT.
Cheerfal Report of Sunday Walk - Dr.
Barker Going to Europe.

NEW YORK, May 10 General Grant slept
fully seven hours on Saturday night, and when
the four doctors of the staff met in consultation,
this afternoon, they found the general condition
was, if anything improved, but the cancerous
spots were unchanged. Dr. Barker sails for
Europe this week, and this was the last con-
sultation before going. When about to leave
he bid the General good bye, and said: when
come back, in the autumn, shall expect
to find your literary work finished to your sat
isfaction.n
''You don't expect to find me though, do your

as he went away.
DR.. Shrady said the two new cancer spots had
not perceptibly increased since Wednesday.

DIR. Douglas. as he drove away with his family.
Roscoe Conkling and Cyrus w. Field called

At o'clock this afternoon, while throngs were

The Yelled Treasury Clerk.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
One of these departments here is almost
little world to i.self-a world full of queer peo-
pie, and not few OF them cranks. There is
ono woman in the treasury who has attracted
much attention on account of the mystery sur
rounding her. She has been in the department.
for years-not less than ten-and though she is
marked by every body, have never met any
body who has seen her face. 1t is the talk OF
the clerks brought most in contact with her. She
is a woman of magnificent presence, tall, fne
figure, and one Of the most perfect forms have
ever seen. Her appearance is that Of a woman
who might possess remarkable beauty, but sho
always has her face enveloped in thick veil.
In the office or out, at work or walking through
tho halls the veil is never removed, and the
efforts of her nquisitive fellow clerks to peep
under it are vain. Many susceptible young men,
struck by her fine figure, have quickened their
step to catch ND with her in the halls only to
find her face hid from sight. No can tell
whether she is old or young. but she is probably
not every either The motive for concealng
her features is not known Whether, like the
yelled Prophet" she seeks to hide a vision OF
ugliness, or whether she has some other reason,
is a mere matter of conjecture. Some say that
her face once comported with the promise of her
form-that she was exquisitely beautiful-but
was victim of smallpox, which so disngured
her face that she Ia ashamed to show it,
