Two of Evarts' Jokes.

Ex-senator Evarts paid visit TO the scene
Of his many former triumphs a day or two
ago. He took a seat on the floor OF the Sen
ate and was soon surrounded by a small host
OF senators. From the frequent laughter in
which the group INDUCED 1 imagined says a
contributor to the Washington News, that the
great New Yorker was giving vent to some Of
MS characteristic drollery. 1t may not be
generally known, but he is the possessor of a
verltable fund of dry and ready wit. He was
given In the preparation of his speeches and
opinions, to exceedingly long and involved
though perfectly lucid sentences. This gave
rise to more or less jOcular criticism on the
part OF the press. Some one mentioned IL to
EVarts one day. His eye twinkled as he said :
Hes, know there are two classes Of people
VINO are very much opposed to long SEN
fences; one is telegraph operators and the
other is criminals"
When Queen Kapiolani visited America a
party on an excursion up the Potomac river
given in her honor. An army officer and he
were giving her the history of the various
points OF interest along the river. The officer
hnally pointed out bend in the river ahead
where Washington marched his troops across
the stream. The Queen expressed surprise
that an army could ford so large stream
but, said the officer, lit is said that you
could throw dollar across the river then. ~
Inc queen again expressed her wonder, when
senator Evarts came to the rescue. You
see, madam" said he, 1.-The conditions are
greatly changed since Washington time
dollar went great deal farther in those
days than it does now"

A Georgian's Extraordinary Feat.

The most successful and at the same
time most unique civil service examination
know OF occurred during the war" said T.
G. DeLand of the examining hoard at the
treasury, says the Washington Post. The
contederacy was very much in need of a
railway locomotive in order to operate its
supply system. 1t was in 1864, and it had not
the means to buy an engine, so the invariable
alternative arOSe-Steal one. A band of 100
men was selected from Lees army and placed
under the command of a big six;foot-four
Georgian, who had been foreman of a stone
quarry, and was more or less skilled in the
use Of derricks, etc.
He took his men up into Maryland and
ONO railway tracks, tagged the next train,
ana with nothing on earth save plenty of rope,
those hundred men carried the locomotive
hfty-two miles over hills, across streams,
through boys and woods, until they struck
line the confederacy had built. Then they
ran the engine down to Virginia.
When Robert Garrett then president of
the Baltimore and Ohio, heard of the feat he
couldnt believe 1t. He went out and person
ally inspected the scene; went over the route
and declared it the most wonderful feat of
engineering ever accomplished. After the
war he delegated man to find the leader of
the band. He as.located in Georgia. Gar
ret sent for him and on the strength of that
single feat made him roadmaster of his entire
system of railroads.
90 Any man that can pick up an engine with
hshlng lines and carry it over mountain has
passed his examination with me, said he"

A Sentry's Wit.

; The Russian Marshal Suvarof was famous
as jester, and was fond OF confusing the men
under his command by asking them unex-
pected and absurd questions says writer in
Lippincotts But occasionally he met his
match. Thus, one bitter January night, such
as Russia only can produce, he rode up to a
sentry and demanded:
How many stars are there in the skye
The soldier, not whit disturbed, answered
coolly:
Wait little and III tell you" And he
deliberately commenced counting: One
two, three" etc.
When he had reached 100, Suvarof, who was
half frozen. thought it high time to ride off
not, however, without inquiring the name of
the ready reckoner Next day the latter
found himself promoted.

Lynching at the North.
From the Phlladelnhia Press sRen

From the Philadelphia Press ~RepD.
There is no blinking the facts that lynching
by mobs Is growing more common in the
north and that there is as little disposition
to punish the perpetrators of these outrages
as there is in The south, Already, with the
year less than half gone there have been
river as were recorded in the whole Of 1892
People have been accustomed to look upon
lynching as indigenous to the south and the
ing in those neighhOrhoods has been regarded
as especially favorable to such outbreaks
and the belief has been general that with the
advance OF refinement and civilization these
lawlesS acts would end. But the experience
of the past few months c0ntCadicts this
theory, and favors the .iuipresSton that the
whole country is returning to tire barbarous
tain that the crime of murder is increasing
out OF proportion to the growth Of population.

''why Should We Weep for Those
Who DiePp
From Poems by Two Brothers.

From Poems by Two Brothers
Why should we weep for those who die?
They faA their dust returns to dust;
Their souls shall live eternally =
Within the mansions of the just.
They die to live, they sink to rise.
They leave this wretched mortal shore;
But brighter suns and bluer skies
Shall shine on them for evermore.
Why should we sorrow for the dead?
Our life on earth is but span: >
They tread the path that all must tread,
They die the common death of man.
The noblest SOngster of the dale
Must cease when winters frowns appear;
The reddest rose is wan and pale
When autumn tints the changing year
The fairest flower on earth must fade.
The brightest hopes on earth must die;
Why should we mourn that man was made
TO droop on earth, but dwell on high?
The soul, tn eternal soul, must reign
In worlds devoid of pain and strife
They why should mortal man complain
OF death, which leads to happier life?

Pension Reform Begun.

/ When it was stated by the democrats
/ during the presidential campaign last fall
/ that if Mr. Cleveland were elected nu-
/ mcrous pension abuses would be reformed
the republicans replied that there were
no abuses worth mentioning, and that
what the democrats meant was that they
would cut off the pensions of deserving
pensioners They made this statement in
order to alarm pensioners and influence
them to vote the republican ticket
Mr.. Cleveland has been in Office scarcely
three months, and yet a ruling has been
made that, according to conservative csti-
mates, will save the government at least
$4,000, coo a year The ruling is in the
case of Charles T. Bennett. who draws a
pension Of SO month for partial deaf
ness. Under the law of 1890 pension is
allowed for a permanent disability of
such a character that it incapaciUates the
person afflicted from earning a support
The amount that can be allowed ranges
from So to SIP per month.
This man Bennett was not only allowed
a pension, but the very highest that the
law permits. It is clear, however, that
he is not entitled to any pension, be-
cause a slight deafness does not prevent a
man from earning a support. But suppose
he was entitled to a pension, he was not
entitled to Sl2 a month. This Commits
sioner Raum must have known when he
allowed the pension. He wanted, how
ever, to give every pensioner the largest
amount that he could He, therefore, in
vented an ingenious order by which the
pensioner could be given the highest
amount under the law without any refer
ence to the merits of his claim.
1t is fair to assume that other pension
abuses, involving large annual payments,
will be discovered and reformed. The
promise made by the Democratic party
relative to pension reforms will be kept.
And when the reforms are well under
stood by the people and the veterans they
will be approved. Honest veterans have
nothing to fear, and they should be and
doubtless are ready to assist the govern
ment in making the pension roll a roll of
honor. This can be done only by taking
from it the name of every dishonest pen
sioner
1t has been asserted often that Com
missioner Raum was under the influence
of the pension agents ring in Washington
and it looks very much as if the assertion
were true. He was backed up in what he
did by Assistant Secretary Bussey, who,
doubtless, helped to swell the pension
charge through ignorance. 1t is GER
tainly good thing for the people that
Raum and Bussey are no longer running
the pension bureau.
A few more decisions like that in the
Bennett case, and the rigid exercise of
economy in the administration of the
government in all its branches, will
the hope that new sources of
revenue will not have to be found to en-
able the government to meet its expenses.
Let the good work of reforming abuses in |
the government go on.

Antonin Dvorak, the New York Herald

Dvorak thinks the blacks originated the
plaintive tunes to which so-called plan
tation songs are sung, heis in error Those
tunes are almost without exception the
compositions of white people, who have
set them to dialect poetry or doggerel,
also by white people. If negro melodies,
Is only a name used to distinguish the
peculiar class of music applied to SONGS in

advised to change the term TO American

CURRENT COMMENT.
Secretary Fosters Explanation.
From the New York Times Dem.

It is, to say. the least not delicate for the
late Secretary of the Treasury at the present
moment to undertake to lecture the present
administration as TO its duty in the matter
Of finance. Mr.. Cleveland's declaration that
gold payments viii be maintained is entirely
free from ambiguity or uncertainty" ana 1t
Will be carried out in letter and in spirit, with
absolute fidelity to the rights OF all and
favoritisln 20 none. II Mr.. Foster could say
so much of his own course in the treasury, his
insinuations would be less impertinent. He
says that he has lost q fortune by too much
politics" That ought to suggest more
prudence for the future.

The Spanish caravels now at New York
will leave that port to-day or tomorrow
In tow for Chicago. A New York firm
will get $1,000 for taking them to the
mouth of the st. Lawrence river and an
other contractor will get 8, 900 for taking
them the remainder of the distance The
original caravels that bore Columbus on
his voyage of discovery probably cost less
than this towage bill from New York to
Chicago.
