HOW She Kent 4 niarr.

Near me on the fore deck sits woman
whose whole soul seems to be devoted
to the prosecution Of daily record Of
events. She is writing in flat black
book which her friends will know only
too well some day. 1t is her diary.
This morning this same woman sal

have sail so much for h by way
of excuse for showing up her fraudulent
proceedings IN connection with that
formidable diary of hers. She is sitting
near Inc again just now, and, as | have
told you, is writing in black covered
fiat book, her diary. Upon her
lap beside the diary is a corpulent red
and git guide book. Twice | have
passed by her to be sure that my sus-
picions are well founded
She is copying sentence after SEN
tence from the guide book, which is
open at the chapter on Paris. Thrifty
woman, she is preparing her diary
ahead, aud to be sure of her facts she
is transplanting them from the guide
book to her original record.
That is a very safe way of eomplet-
ing a diary. Not very honest, you
think? A diary constructed with en-
tire honesty usually follows the pattern
of that of the young woman whose re-

somE TRUE REFORM.

Assistant Secretary Maynard's perform
ances illustrate sharply the true character OF
this reform administration. The investiga-
ton at the New York custom house has re-
vealed that he is a fit officer to carry out the
ideas of the reform President. It has been
brought out in this investigation that in the
appraisers department the assistant secre-
tary prepared "black list of fifteen en-
ployes and suggested" to the appraiser to
recommend" their removal. No charges
whatever were made against these men, and
it would seem that none could be. Indeed,
one Of them who asked the reasons of his re-
moval was plainly told that there was moth
ing against him. Both the appraiser and the
assistant appraiser distinctly stated to Mr..
Maynard that all the employees whose re-
moval he had suggested" were competent
officers, that their superiors could make no
complaint against them, and that their re-
movaI would be a real loss to the service
The assistant appraiser even went SO far as
to say that if they were being removed as Re
publicans for his part he thought it a most
excellent thing to do, but that if they were
being removed as incompetent, he must
frankly admit they were entirely competent.
Mr.. Maynard denied that their removal was
asked because of their connection with the
Republican party. But he insisted that they
must be removed anyway, though he subse-
quently made two exceptions to the list, one
in the case of a son of Brooklyn ex-senator,
the other in the case of an officer who was
found to be a friend of Congressman ''Tim"
Campbell. Of the remainder only four have
yet been actually dismissed, as the publicity
that was given to the affair evidently fright
ened the assistant secretary from carrying
out his intention.
And to add to the evidence that this is
really a reform administration Secretary
Fairchild, Mr.. Maynard's superior officer, de-
clares that he (Mr. Fairehild) was thoroughly
cognizant of his subordinate's dismissals, re-
movals and restorations, and authorized
them. No wonder the mugwump newspa-
pers are discouraged.

prevent the lookout from easily detecting
distant warning signals. For this reason he
is of the opinion that. both for the safety of
a steamer and for the safety of other vessels
that may be in the neighborhood, it is desira-
BILE that when in fog steamer should pro-
ceed at full speed. All of the authorities
unite in the statement that the great safety
of swift vessels is found in the short time
they occupy in making a passage. for if a
given distance can be passed over in six days
the chances are that there will be fewer
storms encountered, and these disturbances
will be more quickly run through than if the
passage occupied ten or twelve days.

A BOAR FIGHT.

Discouraged in our quest for wild boar,
we retraoed our way toward the mountains
eers' cabins. All the afternoon Jose had
at intervals unloosed our remaining dog,
and giving grunt in imitation of the wild
hog, the wise animal had bounded out of
sight, ventiar lejos-or with nose appraised
and smelling far as the Cubans have it,
but had invariably returned without trace of
our sought-for game. But suddenly when
not mile distant from the mountaineers'
he left us with yelp and spring, and away
we all went pell-meH after him, myriads OF
disturbed owls splitting and shriekipg above.
A ran of twenty rods brought us to the dog
and huge black boar thirty feet away,
| which had turned to protect the retreat of q
herd of wild hogs. scampering away behind.
"Aqui esta IN baraco cimaronl" C'Here is q
| wild boar!O shouted Jose, wild as the dog
| itself with delight. There stood the savage
| fellow, all head, bristling shoulders, legs,
tail with plumy trembling end. jaws and

which great rolls of foam were already work

with savage snappings and lacerations o.
shoulders or hams. Over and under went
the dog with marvellous agility, frequently
