An iron railing is being placed around
the apex of the roof of the Federal Build
ING in order that the life OF Janitor
Patrick Macmahon may not be further
endangered at those moments when it
deyolyes upon Mr.. Macmahon to unfurl
the treasury department banner. These
occasions are the only irksome ones in
the otherwise easy and lucrative career Of

having to scale the giddy height and
stand balancing himself, sailor. like, on
one foot upon the narrow peak, while the
cold winter wind is blowing hurricane
and the steep pitched icy roof invites
him TO sudden death during the perform
anoe OF duty. His oft-expressed remon-
atrapces have at length been considered
nv the department at Washington and
collector Barlow has been authorized to
have a railing and platform erected.
Janitor Macmahon is happy now and In

daily deadly peril invited his friends in

of pupils in school increased 1874 and it

moRE APPOINTMENTS.
Fred Grant For the Austrian Mission
John q. NEWS Fat Berth.

John q. NEVIS Fat Berth.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-President
Harrison sent to the Senate o-day only
a few nominations, two of which were
for foreign positions. They were as
follows:
Frederick D. Grant OF Now York to be
envoy extraordinary and minister piani-
potentiary of the United States to Aus
tria- Hungary.
John q. New of Indiana, TO be consul
general OF the United States at London.
Paul Fricke of Texas, to DO United
States marshal for the western district Of
Texas.
SeIigman Brothers, at London, England,
to be special fiscal agents of the navy de-
partment OF London.
The appointment Of Colonel Grant to
the Austrian mission is chiefly due to the
request preferred by Postmaster-genera
Wanamaker, George W. Ohilds, Anthony
J. Dre1el, Chief Justice Paxson iand
Thomas Dolan of Philadelphia. that
Grant be appointed minister to China.
This latter mission was out of the ques-
ton, different sort of man being re-
quired to deal with Ii Hung Chang; but
Harrison was so impressed that, when
John O. New declined the Austrian mis-
sion, which he had been saving for him,
the President put Grant in the vacant
place. Senator Stanford's influence, ex-
erted in and ont Of season for the son Of
General Grant, was also effectual.
New, who is not rich and not entirely
free from debt, and who has no liking
for society, declined the Austrian mission
very promptly. 'tThere is nothing to
do" he said, 'sbut 60 into society, and
little to do it on. There is nothing in it Tor
me-"
News friends say that be also declined
the English mission, which, they say, had
first been offered to and declined by both
Depew and Evarts. Then the President
said; you must take something. am
under obligations to you, and want to
discharge them." After more urging OF
this sort New finally decided to accept
tho consul generalship at London, which,
under the extension of fees expected from
this administration, may be worth from
800, 900 to 100000 year, AID has no
social expenses.
