1t had been the custom of the father and

Robin nedbrea,t In a Hospital.

In the dispensary for animals at the
University Of Leipsig there might have
been seen ia November last, among 112
other sick animals, little robin. He
was quite the smallest patient, but in
suffcrings he appeared to rise above
them all. He had swallowed pin, poor
little thing, during his hours of liberty
from his cage. and 1t happened in this
wise: Master Bob was fond of spree,
and it was often difficult to get him to
bed, so that his master often coaxed
him there by tho allurcmeut Of dainty,
which on this occasion no placed on a
pin. The result was terriblel How
ever, the scientists were successful, and
after complicated operation the pin
was extracted and the bird is as we'll as

CABINET TALK.
Congressman GRIlinger Says President
Harrison Is Making IL Up on the
Geographical Plan.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 24-Congressman Gal
linger, of New Hampshire, who sprung ex-
Governor Proctor, of Vermont, on the public
as a cabinet possibility, was asked II no did
not think Mr. Blaine would be chosen, and
replied:
mo, don't There seems to be a feelisg
at work in Gen. Harrison's mind against
Blaine. Gen. Harrison has an original idea
in making up his cabinet He is doing it on
the geographical plan rather than on his own
or any one else's personal preferences He is
making cabinets by the map. First he tries
one and holds it up, and asks himself how it
looks, and then another With an eye, of
course, to competency, and especially to har-
mony, he is doing this. l know from what
he told me that he is arranging the cabinet
entirely to his own satisfaction"
WASHINGTON, Dec 23-Members of the
committee of southern Republican congress
men say they do not intend to urge upon
President-elect Harrison the name of any
man for cabinet position They will simply
appeal to him for place for southerner.
There is one thing they are going to under
take that they think Of vital importance to
the party in the south. They want to elm
mate the carpet baggers from the party, or,
as one of the members put it. 'turn down"
the men who hang around Washington as
professional" southern Republicans
They believe the success of the party de-
ponds upon their ability to clear away the
suspicion that the men who went south Just
at the close of the war; merely to get what
they could out of it, and have never had any
sympathy with the people, are to be at the
head of affairs.
What we want said the member Of the
committee, sis to get men who can be Re
publicans without ceasing TO he southern
men-men who can advance the interests
and advocate genuine Republican principles,
retaining the respect of their people and re-
manning in sympathy with them. We want
those men who think with US to be able to
work with us. We want to make converts
among the best people in the south and to
build up our country"
CHICAGO, Dec. 23. Senator Farwell. who
has arrived from Washington, expresses the
opinion that Blaine viii be the next secretary
of state. He also says Senator Allison will be
secretary OF the treasury, Platt secretary Of
the navy, Wanamaker postmaster general,
Alger secretary Of war, a southern man at
torney general and a Pacific coast man
