Some time ago two German girls
landed in New York, bound for Chi
.cago, and were told by a runner, one
of their own country men, that they
could get tickets $3 cheaper outside
the Garden. They went with the
runner, and each paid him $40. He
took them up to the elevated rail-
road station, gave them two 5-cent
tickets, and babe them goodby for
Chicago. Neither girl could speak a
word of English, and when they got
to Harlem it was some time before
they could be made to understand
that they had been swindled.

There's a gander in Coweto county
Ga, that has recently been bereft OF
it's mate. He has'since taken up with a
rooster and is trying tolearn how to
crow, but SO far without success.
When the rooster flaps his wings to
crow the gander does likewise, and
stretches his neck in a vain effort to
initiate the music of the chanticleer.
He tries hard to fly up on the roost
and is very afectionate in his atten-
tions to the rooster.

asked for the appointment. They had
not been consulted about it, ex-
cepJ that last night they each re-
ceived note from the presidents private
secretary, requesting them to call at the
White House, if convenient, at 10 o'clock
this morning. They went. presuming that
they ere to be consulted as to appointments
in Washington for which they have made APP
| plication. 1t had been reported in newsra-
per circles that Robert Lincoln was under
consideration by the president in connection
with the English mission, but the Illinois
politicians did not care to believe it The
politicians are forced TO admit that this ap-
pointment, more, perhaps, than any yet
made, indicates that the president is deter
mined to make his individual selections fer
the important Offices The president
HAS CONSULTED
senators from some of The Eastern. states as
to che nomination of Mr.. Lincoln for this
place. At least he has gone so far as to make
inquiry as to their views of the fitness of Mr..
Lincoln for this place, and of the manner
in which the appointment would be received.
The Illinois senators, there is reason to be-
lieve, were not consulted by the president
until this morning, and then only after the
president had decided to send in the name
of Mr. Lincoln Then they were probably
asked whether they would endorse the APP
pointment Of the son of Abraham Lincoln to
the position of minister to ENGLAND. OF course
they could not object, however surprised they
may have been. A state is not in the habit
of declining so great an honor. But it is noG
so certain that Mr.. Lincoln will not decline
the Office. Some of his nearest friends here
say that he was not consulted as to the APP
pointment. His latest public utterance on
the subject of office holding is found in
letter written about the time of the Chicago
national Republican convention. In that
letter he said that he was not candidate for
any office; that he was engaged in the prac-
tice of his profession and was intent upon it,
and that he desired no public position. And
this letter was in relation then to higher
office than that of minister to England. tt
indicated his position with respect to the
nomination as president of the United
States

The above document has now heen read to both houses of the legislature, and the members are engaged in digest ing its contents. Stripped of its pre- ambles and argumentative features, the pi,h of the message will be found be- low.
 In referring to the lands Sc, apart by the government, fM school purposes s, he quotes from his report to the secretary of the interior recommending that congress provide for glving the same privileges to the territories as are now enjoyed by the states, that they may be- come immediately available for the pur- poses intended, and renews the recam. mendatlon to the territorial legislature. Every message and every repor, to the secretary of the interior from the gov ernor of Arizona for the past six years have contained the same recommenda- tion, but congress has failed to heed n. The recommendation is a good and sem sible one. He recommends that mort sages be taxed and that the value thus taxed ! be exempt from taxation on mortsaged
 property. 2. That Supervisors and probate judges of counties of the first class be paid a !! fixed quarterly salary commensurate
 with then duties instead of per diem

 That the legislature should also m,- morialize congress to pass an enabling

 That re-apporuonment of the leg slaIive representation be made, based upon the populur vote of the territory. The concluding paragraph says: "Our

There seems 10 be strong sentiment existing in this territory in favor of state hood at present While, as. heretofore expressed by this paper, we have doubts if the present population and value ef property, as shown by the tax books, would justify it, we would gladly join the procession and be willing to pay our pro rata of the extra expenses incurred to enjoy the privilege Of again living in a state. It would require at least two years of preparation for this important step before we could hope for admission, at which ,;me, advocates of the measure saneuinely arges, our population and taxable property will have increased sui iicienrly for us to assume the responsil IL ities of selt-sovernment. It is a fact well known that under our present sys- tem of territorial government in which we are not permittcdt,govern onr selves, and the present government will do nnth- ing for us in the way of internal improve ments of public nature, we are in a sorry plight, and are in fact nonentities in our national body polite. While ar. guments in favor of admission are nu- merous and loglcal. the only one that can be urged against it is that of popu- latiop and taxable property.
