Speaking of the departments, it is
noticeable that there are decided differ
ences of personal style among the differ
ent sets of clerks. The treasury clerks
are the least spruce in appearance and
most spiritless in manner of all the gov
eminent employees. This is due in
great measure to the really unhealthy
condition of the treasury building,
which ought to be attented to ut once.
The most Independent nonchalant, and
cosmopolitan set of clerks are those of
the interior department. especially in
the patent-ofiice. They dress as they
please, act pretty much rs they please,
and look happy and prosperous as a
class. There is a fine esprit de corps
among them. They have jolly times to-
gether of moons, lunching and walking
through the corridors The girls laugh
and hum tunes as they trip along. and
the men whistle and sing extracts from
the 'Mikado" or exchange stories and
jokes. On the contrary, the post-otiice
department people are a serious folk.
and have crushed aspect The de-
partment building Is rs still as q ceme-
terry, and no levity is allowed within it.
A visitor walks into the patent-ollice rs
if he owned 1t, but there is something
about the general post-ollice that makes
him faiter and stammcr at the entrance.
The army and naTy clerks are fine
looking, well-dressed crowd, rather ex-
elusive towards strangers, polite, but
withal somewhat abrupt in their inter-
course with thcm-in fact, there is
SAVIOR of the martinez about these two
departments, as there is about the
corresponding services. The force in
the department of justice is so small
that it cannot be said to have mach in
diViduality in any way. Finally the
state department furnishes us with per-
feet specimens of the aristocratic genus
of clerk. The clerks of this department
have no intercourse with the clerks of
other departments. They are far re-
moved above the vulgar herd. All of
them are dudes" of the most exquisite
brand. Not one of them would think
of such thing as wearing a turned
down collar. If questions are addressed
to them by indiscrcct and presumptuous
outsiders they are replied to with icy
politencss. but under no circumstances
is any information given. ~ Washington

THEOSOPHY.
A Massachusetts Woman Made Insane by
the Study of Esoteric Buddhism.

If all the numerous books that have
been printed in this country of late
dealing with ''theosophy'' and its kim
dred subjects were plainly labeled on
their covers "This way madness lies,
they would probably have just as many
readers, but possibly their authors and
publishers would escape 1.-THE of the
moral responsibility for the eases OF
mental arrangement which their books
have caused or stimulated.
In suburb of Boston a gentleman is
engaged in professional work in which
he has received no little direct assist
ance and much sustaining sympathy
and encouragement from his wife, who
was woman of remarkable strength
and poise of mind. In addition to the
tactful work which she did for her hus-
band she had the cares of family of
children. One day friend who called
asked her if she had read Edwin Ar
nold's Light of Asia" She said that
she had not, and her visitor next day
sent her her copy of the poem. 1t was
read, and the lady was much interested
in it, Following up the Buddhistic
lead thus opened to her. she went on
with theOsophy, taking up Nine. Blavat-
sky's Isis Unveiled, and bringing up,
quite naturally, with "Esoteric Buddh.
ism.
When the lady had got we'll into this
work there were evident signs that her
old mental poise was quite gone. She
believed herself an "adept, and
thought and lived "Esoteric Buddhism. !"
1t is only n step from theosophy to
Somerville. and the lady VINO began so
lightly with Edwin Arnold is now in
The Mclean asylum undergoing treat
ment for acute mania. As in most
acute eases, there is hope of her restora-
ton to reason. The disease must run
its course, like ease of brain fever; it
takes longer than that disease, and is
quite rs serious Il matter. The doctor
SAYS that in the course of four or five
months this patient may be restored to
her family, which is almost helpless
without her. And the doctor has pre-
scribed, quite naturally. that when she
goes back TO her home, if she goes back
at all. she shall find no esoteric Bud
dhism awaiting her perusal.
By the way, bright and practical
woman, not so much disciple of Mrs
Partington as might be imagined, has
found new name for this advanced
stage of theosophical mania which has
attained so dangerous popularity among
people who like speculation, She calls
it .'mesonteric boobyism. The first
word does not seem 10 be quite squared
with the Greek roots, but the term
taken in its entirety has undeniable
significance.
To modern Athenians who cannot
forego the hearing and seeing of new
things, and must keep up Buddhism,
the advice of a sayant clergyman on
the subject may be useful. If YOU must
take Buddhism. he says. ''by all means
take it straight. The mixture served up
in the form of theosophy is sophisti-

Paris Counterfeiters.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
PicdyEne writes: Counterfeit and de-
preciated coins are very common lust
now in Paris. Every day we read of
the arrest of manufacturers and s'shov-
ers'' of the queer" and the courts deal
with them very severely; but the ex-
ample does not appear to exercise any
deterring influence on other evil-doers.
One and two franc pieces of lead, so
clumsily initiated that you wonder how
any one can be taken in by them, are
constantly being offered in change at
cafes and restaurants. 1t is an abso-
lutely necessary precaution to examine
every coin received at such places. not
only to avoid counterfeits but also to
prevent the garcons from passing off on
you Peruvian and CHILEAN dollars.
which are exactly the same weight and
size as franc pieces. but, not being
legal tender, are worth Is to 20 cents
less. How this South American money
has found its way into France is
something can not explain. but there
certainly is a great deal of it floating
around and, sure of being able to pass
them on others, the walters ut many of
the large cafes on the boulevards make
no difficulty about accepting them. But
it is not only at such places that you are
likely to get taken in with these South
American dollars. Only the other day,
when was going over to London,
paid for my ticket at the railroad depot
with bank note and then, holding my
change in my hand, went into the
luggage-room to get my baggage reg
istered. My trunk was trine over
weight and in payment of the excess |
handed the baggage master one of the
coins i had just received at the ticket
office, but it was pushed back to me
with the remark: Pas bon; and on ex-
aiming it found that it was a Peru
Wan dollar. As | had no time to 90
back to the ticket office put the piece
in my pocket and went to the train.
Since my return | have learned that the
railway companies make regular
practice of sending all the bad or I'M
current coins they receive in the course
of their business TO their ticket offices,
and, rs the travelling public is usually
in too much of 4 hurry to examine its
change. these coins are easily got rid of
1t is quite as bad at the postofiice. where
it is the rule TO pay from one-half to
two-thirds of all money orders in silver,
and the chances are that if you have to
collect an order of any amount you will
find one or more deprecated coins in
the stack of 5-franc pieces piled up in
front of you If you express your sur
prise at such a proceeding the clerk
will reply that the department is so
often cheated by the public that it feels
itself at liberty to do a little cheating in
Its own turn.

An Obstinate Juror.

Among odd stories current at the
courthouse, says the New York TIT
bune, is the following:
The obstinacy of Il juror. rs is well
known, sometimes defeats the ends of
justice, for a time ut least. and causes
great annoyance to the eleven who are
locked up with him. A case in which
something took the form of obstinacy,
but was Of an entirely different nature,
causing long delay in the jury-box, oc-
Cured not long ago. A jury retired
after listening TO the evidence ard hear
ing the law clearly eXpounded in
simple action on contract The twelfth
man was a little, young, red-faced Ger
man, whose hair stood stffiy up and
helped 10 give his SOLD face rebel
lious look He wore a long waist coat,
which he was constantly compelled to
pull down over his stomach, which was
aldermanic beyon his years, and
short pea jacket, from one of the capa-
cious pockets Of which protruded
large parcel. As lie entered the jury
room, and the door was closed and
locked behind him. .Shentiemans. he
said, Il is all right He said nothing
more but placing :. chair in one corner
of the room he drew forth the brown
paper bundle from his pocket and
opening it revealed an ample supply of
German bread, Frankfort sausage, and
cheese, with which he proceeded to
gorge himself. The eleven earnest men
who were with him. anxious to have
done with the case and return to their
several places of business, gathered
around the table and consulted together
as TO what ii was best TO do with the
stubborn old Dutchman," as they
called him, who it seemed apparent had
made up his mind to oppose the rest of
them in what they all knew was
righteous verdict. The object of their
wrath paid no attention to them, and
seemed cngrosscd in the pleasing occu-
patton in which he was engaged. At
length one of the others turned to him
and said impatentlv: look here,
haven't you anything to say at all?'
With his mouth full of bread and
cheese, and without looking up for
moment he responded in thick voice:
Go on I'm all right" After time the
foreman made MP his mind and there

why, we're all for the plaintiff and
"Vell. veil, ;" exclaimed the suspected
juryman, 'vot you takes so long for?
Dots all right. Dots vot / thinks too. !"
Al this there was general laugh,
and the jury, in great good humor, filed
into court, presented its verdict, and
was discharged.

Victoria Repenting.

A New York correspondent of the
Boston Herald writes: hear that the
somewhat celebrated love match be-
tween Victoria Schelling and her stable
husband is not quite rs rosy as it was.
Indeed, they do say that the welded life
of the coachman and his bride is rather
more spirited than affectionate. Mrs.
Schelling looks thin and anxious. She
was plump and rather light-nearted
when her runaway marriage occurred.
Now the girls at the Casino are telling
that she cries in her dressing-room be-
tween the scenes on the stage and there
are rumors that she is badly treated at
home. Her father. understand, would
take her back TO his home if she would
get away from her husband; but she is
not quite ready to do that. She is, how
ever, beginning to think that she made
great mistake in life and to feel her
humiliation very keenly. But she is
too full of pluck to acknowledge her
error publicly, so she grows pale and
thin and goes away by herself to weep.
She now gets 500 week at the Casino,
and the people in the company like her
and have sympathy for her apparent
distress. She will never be very much
of an actress, but she sings we'll enough
and looks we'll enough to be sure of
earning good living on the stage as
long as she may choose TO stay there.

The Classics in Demand.

This part of California has got 10

time to turn around before they have
a college with president and n whole

Southern California where the classics
are already in demand. For years this
place has drifted along without paying
the faintest attention to either the past
or the future of the rest of the world,
but they are awake now. They have
already got full-blown stationery and
book store. Now, when a community
gets to that point where its ladies can

monogram and envelopes to match,
where already they are using the seal

can never quite make out, they are be-
coming of almost metropolitan import
ance. But if the book man could keep
up with them it would be more danger
