Washington dispatch: The. department Ct
state Is greatly exercised over the fact that the
report of United States Consul General Muel-
Ter, in Germany found It's way ntotbe press dis
patches a few days ago. II appears that 1t is
customary for the consular reports to be placed
In charge OF the chief clerk OF the department,
who exercises his discretion In the matter OF
allowing them TO be made public. In come
manner unknown TO the officials the report In
question was given out without undergoing
the usual diplomatic pruning. This
morning the newspapers publish
cd extracts from the report,
showing that Germany, In the opinion OF Con-
sui General Mueller, was r,tro2rading: that
there existed an official ill-wiu against the
United States, end that Germany dreaded the
importation Of American ideas much more
hogs. When the newspapers containing these
statements reached the department to-day and
the language of Consul General Mueller was
found to be verbatim In the newspapers with
that contained In his report there was much
CONSERVATION IN the department, not because
Consul General Mueller made the statement,
but because IL appeared In the newspapers.
Consul Genera Mueller may now expect some
Instructions In the language OF diplomacy,
and In the meantime, IL Is said, correspond
ence is In progress 10 try and explain away
the anti. imperial ideas contained in his report.

Philadelphia Press: The Office of
vice-President having become vacant
by the death of the late Mr.. Hendricks,
and the Senate having chosen John
Sherman President pro tenn. of that
body, there is a general disposition to
regard him in law and in fact as Mr..
Hendricks successor and acting Vice.
President of the United States. A
morning contemporary persists with
great insistence that there is no such
Office as acting President, and
that the Senator chosen on Monday to
preside over the Senate is temporary
President of that body and nothing
more. He has no fixity of tenure, it
argues; his term of Office may end with
the day, or even the hour, in which
it began. Therefore it claims that
Mr.. Sherman can not properly
bo termed acting President.
Nevertheless. Senator'S, Washington
correspondents and the public general
ly are accustomed to speak of the
President pro tenn. when there is no
Vice President as Acting Vice Presi-
dent. MIR. Ainsworth Il. Spofford, the
Librarian of Congress, includes in the
list of Vice Presidents of the United
States in his American Almanac the
names of Lafayette S. Foster, Benjamin
F. Wade, Thos. w. Ferry, David Davis.
and Geo. +. Edmunds. all of whom,
his foot note explains, were Acting
Vice President and President pro tenn.
of the Senate. We doubt not that
next years American Almanac will in
clude John Sherman in the list of Vice
Presidents.
The Vice Presidents office, with its
duties, emolument and perquisities, is
not magnificent, but such as it is the
President pro tenn. when there is no
Vice President, succeeds TO it all. He
receives tho Vice Presidents salary of
$4,000, whereas a President pro
TEN ordinarily receives but
a Senator's salary of $1,000.
He obtains for his own exclusive use
the Vice Presidents room in the capt.
tol. He has the same authority that
the Vice President had of appointing a
clerk. messenger and telegraph opera
tor. He appoints three regents of the
Smithsonian Institution and two visi-
tors to West Point.

Time out OF mind a big white stone
at Woodstock, in Talbot. on the east
ern shore of Maryland, has been used
as a carriage block in front of a moss
covered dwelling. The other day
along came a geologist, played a tune
of JOY upon the stone with his mallet.
and astonished the town people by tell
ing them that Agassiz would have gone
into ecstasies ovor the prize. For, in
deed, as the geologist said, the stone
is a piece OF white rock, picked up by
an iceberg in the Patapsco river, and
carried clear across the Chesapeake to
the fat lands of tidewater Talbot.

An almanac 5000 years old, found
in Egypt, is in the British museum. 1t
is supposed to be the oldest in the
world. 1t was found on the body of

followed by three characters, signify
ing the probable state Of the weather

manuscripts, it is written on papyrus.
1t is written in columns, but is not in
its integrity, having been evidently
torn before it's owner died.

He was still eager upon the same in
quiry: and having heard of Il hermit that
lived near the lowest cataract of the Nile,
and filled the whole country with the
fame of his sancity, resolved to visit his
retreat. and inquire whether that felicity.
which public life could not afford, was
to be found in solitude: and whether Il
man whose age and virture made him
venerable, could teach any peculiar art
of stunning evils or enduring them?
lmlac and the princess agreed to ac
company him: and after the necessary
preparations. they began their journey.
Their way lay through the fields. where
shepherds tended their floclS. and the
lambs were playing upon the pasture.
This" said the poet. is the life which
has been often celebrated for it, inno-
ccnce and quiet; let Us pass the heat of
the day among the shepherds tents, and
know whether all our searches are not to
terminate in pastoral simplicity"
The proposal pleased them. and they
induced the shepherds. by small presents.
and familiar questions. to tell their Opin-
ion of their own state: they were so rude
and ignorant. 50 little able to compare
the good with the evil of the occupation,
and so indistinct in their narratives and
descriptions, that very little could he

that their hearts were cankercd with dis
content: that they considered themselves
a. condemned to labor for the luxury of
the rich. and looked up with stupid ma
levoence toward those that were placed
above them.
The princess pronounced with vehc-
cnvious savagcs to be her companions,
and that she should not soon he DESTROYS

happiness; but could not believe that all
the accounts of primeval pleasures We're

time would come. when. with Il few vir-
