HAD A GOOD THING,
A Naval Onhcer'a Experience in tho Dis

A Naval Oniccr'a Experience in tho Dis
tribution of Patronage.
! heard from Philadelphia q good
story. often told by the late Rear-Ad-
miral Emmons of his experience in the
distribution of patronage in the navy
yards, says the New York Star Man
About Town. While the Admiral,
then Commodore, was Commandant Of
tho Philadelphia Navy Yard, just prior
to an election in that city, the Secretary
of tho Navy ordered the employment in
the yards of a much larger number Of
men than were needed for the work in
progress. One afternoon the Commo-
dore donned his citizens dress and
started for n bank to transact some
business. Near the entrance to the
yard he found about three hundred men
standing around idle. Surprised at the
spectacle, he addressed them rather
sharply:
s'What are you men doing here?"
An able-bodied young man stepped
forward and answered, promptly:
Were doing nothing"
GLOW did you get in here?''
The young man pointed to the main
entrance and replied: eve came in
through that gate"
That's very strange" the Com
modore continued. :'There's ser
geant of marine posted there, with
orders to let nobody pass except officers
and men employed in the yard"
"Oh! we're employed here" the young
man said.
Then why are you idle during work.
ing hours?" the Commodore asked,
Not at al disnnncerted by the Comme-
dores manner, tho young man
answered: Were not employed to
work; we're hired to vote"
The Commodore was unable to con-
tain himself longer. Strengthening
himself up he said: "You men prob
ably don't know who 1 am" And the
young man quickly made answer:
"No, we don't; who are you, any
how?"
Il am Commodore Emmons, Com
mandant Of this yard
At this the young man laughed, and,
drawing nearer to tho Commodore, said:
"Old man, you've got good thing; keep
it."
The Commodore turned his head that
the smile on his face might not be seen,
and went to his bank.

IN A NEW FIELD.

Ex-President Cleveland develops an
unexpected quality of humor in his
latest speech made at u dinner of por-
ton of the medical faculty Of New
York. The address is remarkably clever
in this respect, being full of bright
points made in n particularly genial
way. Mr. Cleveland is remarkau.e
man from the fact that he sustains
every test to which he is subjected SO
well. He came before the country first
with no reputation at all as speech
maker. He has made many speeches
since, and there has not been one of
them which failed to be u good speech.
In this latest he takes on u new manner,
and one of the most difficult. He is
thoroughly successful in it. 1t is a
hazardous thing for any man in Mr.
Cleveland's position to make speeches at
all. The Boston Home Journal, which
is in the habit of commenting fairly
as well as ably, upon public men and
public events, thinks people will be tired
to death of Mr. Cleveland, if he con-
tinues to speak, by the time the next
candidates for the presidency are to be
nominated. This is the natural view
that would be suggested in the case of
an ordinary man. But Mr. Cleveland is
very far, indeed, from being an ordi-
nary man. A conclusive proof on this
point is in the fact that he bears SO we'll
this test of constantly appearing before
the public. There was ample evidence
almost immediatel! .L.,r he left the
presidency that hi i'u.,, .ance in the
public eye was not TO l,Ssened by his
loss Of official position. lie has not ap-
peared in public since without fully sus.
tanning his reputation, from the time he
was so much a figure at the New York
centennial celebration to that when he
impressed the judges by his participa-
ton in the supreme court commemora-
ton SO recently.

There is remarkable young girl up

not to be SO remarkable as she is, and
tae very fact that her reading habits are
Y orth chronicling is sad comment on
tao cheap and perverted taste for litera-
ture that is, alas! too characterize, Of
the young people all about us.
She was recently asked If she had read
certain new society novel, Of which
everybody was talking and over which
young women particularly grew warmly
enthusiastic.
She looked little shamefaced AZ she
replied: mo; tried to read it, but just
couldn't, and SO gave it up" A discus
sion of books and writer's followed in
which it transpired that the young girl
had never read one of the Duchess nov
els, nor Of Rhoda Broughton's, nor of
Ouida's, nor of any of that school of En-
glish writer's whose heroines thrill, and
throb. and clutch, and hunger, as our
dear old autocrat would say.
Nor Miss Alcott, nor Miss Murfee,

She looked distressed, but shook her
head.

Tho theory that the ~ =, Ter was

The man driving said: "lle is drunk. y
The other man was probably then
dead or dying. and this testimony
proves tho fact that the murder was
Committed in New hampshire.
III. Tobey. hiram Sawtelle's physi-

The woods in the neighborhood OF tho

A FINE question to decide, and one OF

be the location of the Sawtelle murder.
II the fatal shot was fired in New Hamp-
