persistently violated the Civil Service law during
his entire Administration, and that during the
past six months he has done more TO degrade the
high Office which he held than all his prcdeces-
sors Government officials from the highest to
the lowest had gone on the stump, had packed
conventions, and had been guilty OF more par
tisan service than those under any former Ad-
minstrations, and political assessments had been
wrung from the Government employees in manner
never before known. He did not believe that
this action of the President which clearly
for political effect, would have any material
influence upon the campaign. 1t might but he
believed that the great mass of voters, and par
ticularly the Irish Americans whom the President
sought to capture, would through this trans
parent trick.
DEMOCRATIC NECESSITY MADE VIRTUE
1t is learned upon excellent authority that the
Administration had no thought of taking the
above course in regard to Lord Sackville until
to-day, when an important dispatch was received
at the White House from Democratic Headquar-
ters This dispatch set forth the fact that the
Irish vote was irrctrevably lost to Mr. Cleveland
unless some prompt and decisive action was taken
i'm regard to the Sacl1vlle letter; that diplomacy
would not do, but that the case was so urgent
that some step must be taken which would show
the people that the Administration was not IN
sympathy with Great Britain. Then it was that
the document sent out from the State Department
was prepared and put forth. The object is plainly
to stem the tide of the Irish vote setting for
General Harrison, and the President evidently
thinks as was said by prominent Democrat to-
night, that il he can get the English papers to
abuse him for one week he can capture every
Irishman in the country

The Bananas OF Colombia.

In Colombia will be found about six
teen kinds of platano (the name gen.
orally given to the banana). The
common platano grows from one foot
to sixteen inches long, and is an in
digenous plant. The dominica never
grows more than ten inches. 1t is a
very fine platanO, and its name is de-
rived from its native place, Dominica.
The maritu, the smallest of three
varieties Of the common platano, is
the one well known here as the red
banana. The common guineo, is also
an indigenous fruit aud grows as large
as the red banana. The apple guineo,
when in full size, is only six inches,
and the smallest one is the fig of
Guinea. The name of this suggests its
taste, which IS like that of the Ameri-
can apple. 1t is supposed to have
originated IN Guinea. The English
banana is the one ordinarily used in
this country. 1t is so called because
it originated in England's domain.
The French guineo is small and red
and IS native of Martinica. All
these guineoS are of Il green color
first and become gradually yellow as
they ripen. The common platano and
the dominica are alike in all respects
except in size and thickness, and both
are of 4 universal use among the
Spanish-speaking people. When they
are green or yellow the people OF
Colombia roast, boil, or fry them.
They supply The place of bread and
vegetables. They are used in soup,
and mixed with milk and eggs, are
made into fritters. When green the
people cut them into four slices and
dry them in the open sun. When
dried q meal is made from them,
which is ordinarily used to make
gruels and fritters. When they are
ripe they are served as fruits usually.
In that condition they are roasted
with the skin, and when done a mush
is made of them and eaten in milk.
They are also preserved with sugar
and served as desserts. When
thoroughly ripened and at the point of
being spoiled, they are passed through
hot water and placed in the open air
for two or three weeks. There they
become nicely preserved, and ready
for use on the dinner table. Words
fail me to praise worthily a product
that actually constitutes the staple food
of many millions Of people in South
America. The best authors of these
countries have written many beautiful
poems on the merits and usefulness of
the platano alone Washington Star.

Glass Prejudices Among Servants.

There is on the Back Bay a certain
physician, living in rather simple style
for that aristocratic section, whose
family has been served in a domestic
capacity, as the reporters would say,
by an excellent IrishwOman of mature
years, who had done similar service
in the "old country" before she came
to this. Not long ago the physicians
wife was informed, somewhat timidly,
by Margaret that she, Margaret, had
been offered dollar a week more
wages than she was getting to enter
the family of rich merchant down
the street.
"Well, Margaret" said the doctors

The Gay Venetian Gondolier.

At venice had my first experience
in gondola, after arriving late at
night. 1t was certainly a new sensa-
tion to walk from the station down
wide slippery steps to embark in a
funeral looking craft, the covered
center of which looked for all the
world like coffin. The gondolas are
covered with black and the central
portion is studded with old-fasilioned
coffin nails. Anything more uncom-
Portable than these covered compart-'
ments it would be hard to find. Per-
haps upon a pleasant evening one
could recline upon pile of rugs and
by lying perfectly fiat get his head
low enough to be able to get a view
out of the window. But in the practi-
cal riding of everyday life your head
is in the top of the roof fully foot
above the topline of the window. 1t
is so cramped that person cannot sit
upright. / shall never forget my de-
parture from Venice the following
night. During the day l had taken
short ride in one of the open gondolas,
and found that a fairly comfortable
way of going about. But when night
came again it rained in perfect tor
rents. The hour of starting was late.
The two boatmen in charge of the gon-
dola chartered to take me to the sta
ton had been drinking and were
much excited by it. They were in
dripping oil-skins. | climbed into my
coffin compartment with a young
English friend and, our luggage being
placed in front of us, filled the box up
completely. Then the gay gondoliers
started off with US and made short
cuts down through the darkest of side
canals where there was not a single
light. l could see nothing except the
narrow line of dim light cleaning
from the black waters through the mar
row window. The gondoliers sang
and chanted uprOarious songs and
cries whenever they reached corner
or bend in the canal, SO as to warn
approaching boats against collision.
The two gondoliers tried to outrow
each other, by way of variety, and
succeeded by their muscular struggles
in making the boat wabble TO the right
and left in way that threatened every
moment to upset our funeral craft.
Every time the boat would lurch in
the widest possible way the boatmen

had an idea that the occupants of the
coffin were thereby paralyzed with ter
ror. They evidently Iabored to pro-
duce that disagreeable impression upon
the people whom they were called upon
to carry through such a storm at such
a late hour at night. But no remon-
STRANGE came from the coffin. Neither
the representative from England nor
of the United States felt like showing
any nervousness. Our silence and
cOmpOsure we're construed in a COM
plimentary way, for when we filed out
at the station after our ride the boat
men saluted us and said "Americanos"
as we passed. The peculiar feature of
the gOndoliers is the way they demand
their pourboires. They never wait un-
til they get to the end of their Journey.
When they are near port they cease
rowing, law down their oars, and de-
mand their drink money with the air

with his forefinger, traced a deep scar

in Virginia, but there are still some
hotheaded men who think that their
wounded honor can only be satisfied
with blood"

Said he: ''I'll tell you. Twas max

temper right along, and never got
angry at the frequent interruptions.
In the crowd was man who was a
power in the community, and he was
just drunk enough to be offensive. He
had interrupted me several times. and
| passed it off good naturedly. until at
last he said something that stung me.
Well, | am Virginian born and bred,
and l answered back that when he
was made his mouth was put in the
wrong place, that it should have been
fastened on the top of his head and
filled with hogs lard and sawdust.

brutal, but it turned the laugh on the

to me that a short-armed man fired

Consumption Cured by ButtermiIk

A woman of the city who had been
pronounced by her physician fatally
i'll with consumption, and who was ap-

told by neighbor that she had been

woman. In little while the news
was brought that she was improving.
A few days later she was on her feet
and about the house. And now she is
again a bustling, busy woman, not
strong, but apparently in good health,
with no symptoms of a deadly disease
lurking around. There is no doubt,
she says, the buttermilk cured her.
As physicians say, ''it went right to
the spot. 1t nourished her poor,
famished body, filed up the dried-out
tissues, and gave her strength and
