The Telephone Scandal.

1t is difficult for any careful thinker, acclls-
toned to consider the influences which rule the
mnntS OF intelligent men, to understand how
the present great telephone scandal can pass
away without compelling Il reconstruction of
the cabinet.
Mr.. Garland, the attorncv-gencral and Mr.
Lamar, the secretary Of the interior, are very
deeply implicated in this scandal, and it is in
comparably the greatest scandal by which any
members of any Presidents cabinet have ever
been affected. New York sum
The sun is not alone among the Democratic
newspapers in exposing this scandal. The
New York World has published detailed ac-
count of the organization of the Pall-Electric
Company, the distribution of the stock among
Democratic Senators, Congressman and off-
cas, the attempts to secure legislation in the III
terest of the enterprise, and to obtain postal
telegraph monopoly, and the success of the
spectators in ''working' the Department of
Justice And it has denounced the particpa-
ton of the speculative statesmen i'm these tele-
phone transactions as tiagrant offence against
public morals. OF the present Attorney Cen
eral it says:
Senator Garland and his associates who ac-
cepted partnership i'll this Electric Telephone
Company must have done 50 with the knowl-
edge that they We're to Use their influence and

Against the wooded hills it stands.
Ghost of dead home, staring through
Its broken lights on wasted lands
Where old-time harve>tS grew.

The poor for>akcn farm-ticlds lie,
Once rich and rife with golden corn
And pale green breadths of rye.

The garden plot DO housewife keeps;
Through weed, and tanglc only left

Pathetic red rose blooms.

That down Non sladowy lane some ghost
Might drive his spectral kline.

Gerry store instead OF "a sailor bold,' and walk
ed home under the starlight revolving Ill his
troubled mind plans to outWit the widow, and
win and wear his Ann Olive.
There was an imposing monument i'll the
! cemetery, with this inscription:
"ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF CAPTAIN
DAVID PRossER BY HIS INCoNsoLABLE
WIDOW.
.Wc would not call thee back from Heaven"
The widow spent much of her time planting
and tending flowers and shrubs around the
monument. and keeping the turf that sur
rounded it fresh and green.
On a cold, gray November twilight she was
engaged i'll packing up the Withered leaves
that had fallen upon the grass there, when she
suddenly saw the figure of "A man coming
through the cemetery gateway, and advancing
toward her.
The cemetery was on the outskirts of the vii
la@e. and visitors to it We're rare. The widow
wondered what his business might be. When
she discovered that he wore sailors garb. her
heart began to beat quickly. As she contided
70 her faithful servant Barbara that night. She
had, at that moment. prescntiment of what
was coming.
She leaned against the monument for sup

mind of any wcll-diSposed ghost.
But the figure still advanced, and taking of
his sailor cap, revealed a black, curly head,
>Im-hurncd face, and great deal of jet black

Too Professional.

In Western city lives an undertaken, by
name Brown, a great Wag, and always ready to
play joke; also doctor who is Joker, and is
always ready to tell on himself, and "monu-
ment-makcr" who is of the same kidney.
One day the doctor was driving at full speed
down business street when Brown spicd him.
Brown was in his wagon with the sign of his
profession on the side. Whipping up his horse
he came as close to the doctor as possible, and
glancing round, he spied the mOnumcnt-maker.
Calling to the monument-maker to hurry up,
Brown called out: SEQ on, doctor, go on;
We're coming"
The doctor looked round, and dismay was
pictured on his countenance. He whipped up
his horse, but all to no purpose, the undertaken
and the mOnument-maker following closely.
At last the ridiculous part of the thing struck
him, and leaning back in his buggy he gave
vent to his laughter in spite of the thought,
"What sign for prominent physician this
is" Editors Drawer, in Harper's Magazine.
