A Rlccoon on his Bedpost.

Jesse Hess is bark peeler i'll the EN-
ploy of Edward Hite of Thomasdnlc,
Penn. A few nights ago he was awalI-
ened by something jumping ON his bed
and walking quietly and lightly over
him. He shouted for light, and his
brother Almas ran in the room with n
lamp. Perched on one of the bedpoots
they discovered big Iaccoon. The
coon looked scared and Il zcd at tho
situation, and jesse Hess killed him
with n boot. There was no way tor the
coon to get into the house except b.
climbing down the chimney. 1t is sup
posed he was after n Goldfish that hung
in the kitchen.

All through the Gov ernment service,
as in private business establishments,
we, of course, find the relation of super
ior and subordinate, and from this re-
lation necessarily follow ce. tain dlstlno-
tons of grade, or Official class tcatlon,
and ce tain rules of courtesy governing
the business intercourse between are is
of equal or unequal Iank. Tie Presl'
dent is higher than q Secretary of De-
partment, Secretary higher than n
clerk. An officer, iss ling instructions
or commands, disrega ds the coaven-
tional or complimentary forms observed
by him when communicating with Off
GERS of equal or higher grade; a subor
dinate, corresponding with one above
him in authority, is more or less deter
entail in his address. This complais-
ance, however, extends chiefly to such
harmless expressions as, "To the Hon
orable the Secretary" and II am, with
great respect, your obedlent servant,
at'the beginning and ending of letters;
as is only objectionable when 1T becomes
indiscriminate or extravagant. In strict
propriety, official communications
should be addressed to the 'olhce NOT
TO the name of the individual hold ng
the office; and n public office receives no
argrrmented dignity by reason OF mere
w0rdy additions. This was the view
taken by the House of Representatives
at the beginning of the Government,
when the Senate desired to style tic
President ellis High Mightiness, or
by some other senseless title; and tho
Senate, by submitting to this view, es.
tablished precedent applicable to ev-
cry subordinate Office.
In writing to high Official or q mem
ber of Congress by name, the prefix
"Hon." is permissible on grounds OF
general usage but the employment OF
this title in addressing minor officers is
meaningless, as also is the phrase, "To
His Excellency the President" yet,
this and other errors of over-elfusion aro
frequently made by correspondents both
in and out of official circles.
In ranking the President as head Of
the Republic, We regard him only III his
public capacity. His pre-eminence IL

plant 1t was growing ON rocky soil,
and she pulled it up, took it home, and
set it ont in her garden. 1t flourished,
but did not increase in size, the roots
refusing to spread. All summer it bore
four-leaved clover, and in the autumn it
was transplanted in a small box and
taken indoors. Since that time it has
borne thirty seven four and dozen five

of witnessing an entertainment of

when he gave the entertainment
in charge of Prof. Hyde of the st.

He proved to be the right man. in
the right place. The entertainment
was of a patriotic nature and was
admirable in all it's parts. The Pro.
fessor's patriotism has the ring of the
true metal.
The exercises were opened by
selections of choise instrumental
music by the orchestra, after which
Prof. Hyde gave II very clear, diepas-
sionate address, in favor of Ameri-
canism, and conducted the other ex-
erc;ses, Interpreting them with
appropreciate introdnctions. A quar-

tiun of our population is: School
commences next Monday. 1t seems
strange that we can't all see things
alike. What makes the school boy
sad, makes the mother glad. But
children don't dread school as much
now as in the days of yore. In our
young days we had our "DJthebOys
hall" and our "squeers," and we had
so much Of them that we often
wished school had never been in
vented. The cane was the only thing
fit to drive education into boys with,
But school should not be so distaste-
full to boys now. Nor is it. Corpo-
real punishment is not applied to any
great extent. We have now good
school houses, and intelligent teach
ers, with plenty of recesses fer play,
which all children should have, so
that children should look forward to
next Monday with pleasure.

The empress of Austria, who Is at
Wiesbaden, occupies outside the town a
villa which is guarded by police agents,
and no strangers are allowed to approach
it. The empress delusion was that King
Louis came for her in the night dripping
wet in his shroud, from which there ran
a perfect stream of water, which filed
the room and threatened to drown her.
She would wake In a fright and call for
help, saying she was drowning. These
Mysteries generally ended in fainting
fit, and, singular to add, for some days
afterward the empress appeared to be
free from hallucination.
On her return TO Vienna last year the
empress absolutely refused to see her
son, the Archduke Rudolph, declaring
that he had not paid her proper respect.
Shortly afterward the archduke com
mitted suicide, and it became an impera.
tive necessity that the empress should be
confined to her own apartments, for she
was continually reproaching herself fol
causing the death of her son. And now
the acute crisis in the empress illness
has passed, for softening of the brain has
set in.-London Star.
