TRIBULATIO>s OF EDITORS.

FOR SALE The editor of this paper has $4OO worth of shares in the Spotted Bull Silver Mining Co, which he will sell cheap for cash or trade for an all wool undershirt These shares were presented us with the understanding that we should help rope in eastern suckers. Either the rope is out of order or suckers are scarce. The stock has gone down to two cents on the dollar. and we propose to unload before another assessment is made We said an all-wool undershirt, but we are not going to be too particular about it. If it's half cotton, minus the buttons or flaps, or is ripped up the back, we shall probably make the exchange Don't hesitate because you may have been told that we are proud and naughty. We know when to come down off the top rail- Detroit Free Press.
 While engaged in our sanctum pre- pairing an editorial on favorite topic, one day last week, one of Dave Ander- sons razor-back hogs came to the rear of our office and begun rubbing his back against the corner of the building We were obliged to lay down our pen, crawl on our hands and knees to the offending porker, and welt him on the side with 8 column rule.

THE LIBRARY DERRICkS.
The Big Structures and Long Guy
Ropes Going Up.

They are manufacturing a gigantic spiders
web above and in the vicinity of the Congress
sional library building. Erected on that great
expanse OF site are several derricks, two Of them
very large. Each is braced heavily after the
usual fashion, but especial pains have been
taken to make these particular der
ricks more safely and certainly erect
than any others ever before seen. This end
has been attained by the use of wire hawsers
which stretch from the derrick tops to points
in the neighboring landscape. Two of these
guy ropes are anchored just inside the line Of
the library fence on the east side of the reser-
walton; two others stretch themselves to the
southern fence, and would have gone over it
had not some of the residents objected
to intrusion upon their property;
two more hawsers run to one
anchor ON the parking in front of a vacant lot on
East Capitol street between LIST and I'd streets,
and the remaining pair Of cables find their lat
ter and lower end in the grass beyond the trees
and shrubs that border the Capitol grounds on
the east. On the east an anchor has been sunk
in the alley in the middle OF the next square,
back of the Church of the Reformation. The
anchors are of heavy timber, all of it foot or
more square, and are buried deeply in the soil.

PENSION OFFICE NOTES.
Restricting the SmOkers-The New
Second Deputy on Duty.

The order prohibiting smoking in the pension
Office is being carried out strictly. The en-
ployes who have been accustomed to enjoy the
solace of the weed during Office hours do not
regard this innovation with favor, but they have
made no protest. AS one of the officials remarked
"Just now the clerks are not going 10 kick
about any thing except dismissals reduc-
tons" The order, however, allows smoking in
the great hall during lunch time. and this
privilege is very generally enjoyed by the
employees. They can be seen walking about
putting pipes or cigars, and the great hall has
something of the appearance OF the corridor Of
a hotel during election time. The order was
issued by the commissioner because of the
large number of ladies who are employed in
the building. While he is a smoker himself,
yet Gen. Raum does not believe in smoking
when there is any business to be done.
GEN. LINCOLN AT HIS DESK.
Gen. Lincoln, the new second deputy, was at
his desk all day and received a large number
of callers who came to pay their respects. Gen.
Lincoln has some knowledge of the pension
businesses and he finds that he has but little
difficulty in becoming familiar with the official
routine. Under the recent distribution
of the work. the second deputy has supervision
over all business coming before the middle,
western, the old war and navy divisions. During
the absence of the first deputy he will also at
tend to his duties and will supervise the BUSH
ness coming before the eastern, southern and
army and navy survivors divisions.

building to protect the grass from the feet of
the crowds OF visitors who are expected to-
morrow.
The procession around the building which
will precede the celebration of the pontifical
mass of the Holy Ghost in the chapel will be
made up of all the church dignitaries who are
in attendance. First will come the seminarians,
followed in order by the clergy in general,
superiors of orders, monsignoris, bishops,
archbishops and the two cardinals.
