DEPARTMENT CLERKS.
Great Differences in Personal Styles
Among Different Sets of Employees.

Great Differences in Personal Styles
Among Different Sets of Employees.
Speaking of the departments, it isno
ticeable that there are decided differ.
ences of personal style among the diff.
ferent sets of clerks. The Treasury
clerks are the least spruce in appear
ance and most spiritless in manner Of
all the Government employees This is
due in a great measure to the unhealthy
condition of the Treasury building,
which ought to be attended to at once.
The most Independent, nonchalant and
cosmopolitan set of clerks are those of
the Interior Department, especially
in the Patent-oilice. They dress as
they please, and act pretty much
as they please, and look happy and
prosperous as class. There is a fine
esprit de corps among them. They
have jolly times together of moons,
luncheon and walking through the cor
ridors. The girls laugh and hum tunes
as they trip along, and the men whistle
and sing extracts from the "Mkado'
or exchange stories and jokes. On the
contrary. the post-oflice department
people are serious folk, and have a
crushed aspect. The department build
ing is as still as cemetery, and no lev
ity is allowed in it, A visitor walks
into the post-oflice as if he owned il,
but there is something about the gen
eral post-oilice that makes him ialter
and stammer at the entrance. The
army and navy clerks are fine look
ing, well-drcssed crowd. rather exclu-
sive towards strangers, polite, but
withal somewhat abrupt in their
intercourse with them-in fact, there
is q SAVIOR of the martinez about these
two departments, as there is about
the corresponding services. The force
in the Department ofJustice is so small
that il can not be said to have much in
dividualty in any way. Finally the
State Department furnishes us with per-
feet specimens of the aristocratic genus
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 address
ed to them by indiscreet and prcsumpt-
uous outsiders, they are replied to with
icy politeness, but under no crcum-
stances is any information given

IN CONN EMARA.
An Irish Home Near the Coast
Pair of Girl Inhabitants.

The rain was still falling when Bally-
nahinch was left behind but on the
moor to the left two witchlike figures
were seen, their heads half wrapped in
plaid shawls, their limbs showing
through wet, short skirts. and their
small red feet and legs flying from tuft
to tuft of the moss They were native
girls, driving the small coal-black cat
tie of these wild up-lands, and the sight
of the driver, an ancient friend, put
them in the widest spirits. They
swooped down on the car and were soon
seated, laughing and singing, brushing
the wet from their tangled hair and their
hair from their red cheeks, but not for
getting to smooth the skirts of the
rough homespun modestly about their
bare extrcmitics. They were redolent
of peat smoke, like the poteen they brew
here in spite of all the constables; of
good health, good humor, and that indie
scribable fragrance which comes from
living almost completely out of doors.
Presently we drew up before their
own home. They seized various par
ttlS tOlhlnp W llolli pdlNdN, anu
in twinkling they plunged into a COM
fortable-looklng cabin of large size like
a brace of colts, with flourish of their
red heels. The men and boys of the
family wore shoes; doubtless Sundays
these same headlong lasses turn out as
well shod as any in Connemara- A
few years hence these girls will be in
the United States puzzling an American
mistress by their ignorance on some
points and unnatural acuteness on
others. II she could see the interior OF
some of these cabins she would only
wonder how they ever learn to use the
resources of ''modern improvements. "
Much is being done in Ireland TO give
all children a good schooling in the
elements of book wisdom, but there is
no provision for the training of servants,
wherefore there is much wailing in
American households, great misunder.
standings and many chances of proiita-
BILE places lost to this class of emigrants.
For this reason it is to be feared that
our young friends, when better clothed,
fed and housed than they are now, will
be no longer so jolly and devil-may
care. Cor. N. Y Times.

PRESIDENTIAL DRIVES.
An Enjoyment In which Mr.. and Mrs

dignity had permitted, i am sure he would
have been much more comfortable in a
thinner coat, but all Presidents, when on

statesman-like frock coats. The Presi-
Dental pair were in a low victoria. Mrs.
Cleveland wore a high peaked little yell

Around her shoulders was a light yellow
iace-worked wrap. Her dress was dark

much more at her ease than when she

quiet manner, rather in contrast TO

When he was bachelor he used to appear
profoundly at his ease when under the eve
Of the public. Since his marriage he ap-
pears to have lost some OF his iron poise.
Mrs. Cleveland's slight, graceful figure
was in marked contrast to the strong,
heavy form of the President. Mr.. Cleve-
land twisted about to the right and to the
left, and during the passage by the block
where l saw him this afternoon he was en-
gagged In conversation with his black
coachman, who was turned half around,
talking with the decorum and dignity of
a cabinet minister in response TO the Pres
idcnt's inquiry as to the best road to take
for drive. He generally goes out through
the Georgetown way, and since the pur-
chase Of his property the fashionable
teams which used to 60 through the Sol

rattling, bad-smellng streets which lead
through Georgetown. The President and
Mrs. Cleveland go to drive every evening.

most constant attendant Of tho President
during his waking hours, has now had an
opportunity to renew his acquaintance

HUMOR IN ANIMALS.
Unusual shrewdness Displayed by Dog.
Monkey and Parrot.

The reasoning of animals has been
observed by naturalsts with good
deal of curious interest; and stories are
told without number 10 illustrate it. 1t
seems from the most recent anecdotes
related of domestic pets, that these com.
panions of man may of late have been
acquiring an unusual shrewdness such
as former generations of cats and dogs
did not display. Some Of these can not
fail to amuse, il they serve no purpose
of philosophy. An English writer tells
the following:
A family let their house furnished,
leaving in it large dog. The tenant
was an old lady, who liked to sit in a
particularly comfortable chair in the
drawing-room, but. as the dog was also
very fond of this chair, she frequently
found him in possession. Being rather
afraid of the dog, she did not care to drive
him out, and, therefore, used to go to
the window and call "Catsm The dog
would then rush to the window and
bark, and the lady would take posses
sion of the chair. One day the dog en-
tered the room and found the old lady
in the chair. He ran to the window
and barked excitedly. The lady got up
to see what was the matter, and the dog
instantly seated himself in the chair.
A monkey. who was usually fastened
upin a carriagc-house, would frequent
ly undo his chain, make his way out.
run along to the house, get up above
the entrance-door and hang upon the
bell-wire, causing the bell to ring. On
the door being opened, he would drop
down into the lobby "a an unlimited
guest.
After so strong evidence of shrewd in.
telligence on the part of animal pets,
one can hardly hesitate to believe this,
which is told of a parrot. A lady had a
tame parrot. One day when it had
been put out in the garden, a shower
came on, but the cook forgot to fetch in
the parrot. Soon she heard several loud
sneezes from the parrot, who, as soon
as he saw her, called out: "Polly's got
a cold" 1t was true, and poor Polly,
who had been almost human in her
speaking, undoubtedly received in turn
the care and nursing of child. - Youth's

there were five hundred snakes reused by

previous history of aided emigration to

well for the success of the present
