Senator Sawyer as a Story Teller.

Washington Special: He ia br imful OF
quaint anecdotes. One of the best stories
he tells is at the expense of Senator Ransom,
whom he declares is the most accomplished
politician he ever knew. II went down to
North Carol ina. he says, with congress
sional funeral party several years ago, and
Ransom was along. Whenever the train
stopped at station Ransom got out,
shook hands with every man on the plat
form and told each one that he had left
important business In Washington to at
tend that funeral, with the hope OF seeing
him even for a moment; and what sur
prised me most was that every mother
son OF them believed it, Ransom has such a
winning way about him. When we landed at
the town where the funeral was to be held
we had to drive six miles in open car
riages against chilly wind without any
dinner, and then sit in cold church to
listen to sermon two hours long. RAN
som was as hungry as wolf, and chilled
through, as we all were, and after the
preacher had been going it about three
quarters OF an hour he commenced to snap
his watch but it did notdo any good. The
preacher kept right ON with his discussion,
and when it was concluded we were all SO
faint with hunger and cold that we could
scarcely stand. But Ransom revived to
the occasion, and as soon as the benedic-
ton was pronounced rushed up to the pull
pit, grabbed both OF the preachers hands
and told him that he was never SO much
interested and edited by sermon in his
life, and his only regret was that he didn't
preach longer. And when Ransom saw
that he had swallowed that he actually
asked him to repeat the sermon the next
time he (Ransom) came to town. | am
good deal on the palaver myself, but Ran
som beats any man l ever saw.

The New British Cahinat


The new cabinet is officially announced
as follows:
Mr.. Gladstone, prime minister and first
lord OF the treasury; Sir Farrer Herschell,
lord high chancellor; Earl Spencer, lord
president OF the council H. c.. E. Childers,
home secretary; Earl Rosebery. secretary
for foreign affairs; Earl Granville, secre-
tary for the colonies; Earl Kimberly,
secretary for India; H. Campbell Banner.
man, secretary for war; Sir William Yer.
non Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer;
the marquis OF Ripon, first lord of the adj
miralty; Joseph Chamberlain, president
OF the local government board; George OF
to Trevelyan, secretary for Scotland; A. j
Mundella, president OF the board Of trade;
The following appointments have been
made under the new administration:
Earl Sydney, lord steward OF the queen &
households; Arnold Morley, patronage sec.
rotary; Charles Russell, attorney general.
The composition OF the new cabinet has
caused a great surprise. 1t is thought to
show marks OF compromise.
The News considers the new ministry a
strong one, and especially approves OF the
appointment OF the earl OF Rosebery and
John Morley. 1t says
The selection OF the earl OF Kimberly for
the Indian secretaryship is the only choice
that is likely to meet with negative ap-
prevail. The absence of Lord Harrington
from the cabinet is matter OF regret,
which may, however, at no distant date be
removed.
The Standard says:
Mr.. Gladstone, in formingh his cabinet, has
made the best OF bad situation. The
members are men OF undoubted ability.
The selection of Earl Roseberry for the
post OF secretary for foreign affairs was the
best that could be made, and promises
well for the good will OF Germany. The
appointments most likely to elicit criti.
cism are those of Sir William Vernon Har.
court and John Morley.

from washington LetLer.
Senator Stanford's private secretary
tells me that three-fourths the letters
ne receives are from beggars, and they
aumber from twenty-five to forty ev-
cry day. They come from all sorts OF
people and from all parts of the world.
This week he received one from Egypt,
another from Calcutta, and two from
Ireland. He is asked to aid orphan
asylums, to subscribe toward the cree.
Zion of churches, to assist men and
women paying mortgages on their
farms, to furnish capital for the de-
velopment of mines and the establish
ment of manufactures.
Inventors want him to 90 into part
nership with them in promoting the
results of their genius, including perpet-
ual motion and flying machines.
Several women wrote him for money
to buy their children Christmas gifts;
one young lady wanted him to give her
q silk dress, and q young man expect
ed his assistance to start O. newspa-
per. Poor clergymen, cripples, widows,
and all sorts of INDECENT people, appeal
to his sympathies and ask share oil
his millions. He has an opportunity
to give away his entire fortune every
year, but declines to do so. These
begging letters are never seen by him.
All his mail is opened by his secretary,
and such communications go instant
ly into the waste-basket.

George Bancroft, the historian, has fur.
nished advance sheets of volume of nine
ty-three pages, in which he takes issue with
the United States supreme court in it's legal
tender decision, and supports his charge
that the decision OF the court was wrong by
quoting from the trainers OF the constitu.
ton and the journal of the convention
which framed it. Mr.. Bancroft thought
that the words land limit bills" were
struck from the clause OF the constitution,
giving power to congress to borrow money
on the credit of the United States, and then
establishes that congress has no power ex-
cept that which is positively conveyed in
the constitution.
