THE NEGRO recorder of deeds in
Washington having, against the rules
of the civil service commission, issued
circulars making political assessments
upon the many members of his race
now holding positions in the govern
ment service in Washington, the Attor-
new General has decided that such Cir
CHARS are permissible. Nevertheless
the civil service commissioners have
prosecuted white men for similar Of
tense. The difference between the
words of a civil service reform admins
tration, and its acts, shows that the Off
Gals thereof are foolish or imagine that
everybody else is, OF else. which is the
more probable, that they don't care
snap of their finger what other people
think of them.

to clerkship in the State Department,

he could to destroy mems souls, is now
striving to destroy their bodies by ex-

influence, let alone by that of Colonel
Ingersoll.

THE german tariff bill has removed
the tax on the salt the Virginia farm
ers use for their stock and for curing
their meat. They are thereby, and in
one respect, at least, put upon an equal

for wool, caused by the passage of the
bill referred, to the price of that article
has advanced. The benefits OF the bill
will be general, and the farmers will re-
ceiye their full share of them.

GENERAL SIcKLEs says that in the
war between the States, the Northern
soldiers were "quite as good as those OF
the South" If that be so, how was it
that it took four long years for three
million OF the former, amply supplied
with every requisite, to subdue six hun
dred thousand of the latter, who were
only half armed even at first, and were
half starved two years before the war
closed +? But the General is beholden
to the former, for by their means he
draws large pay as retired army OIL
Ger, and large pension, in addition to
the salary he receives as member OF
Congress. He is also opposed to the

The WAGES of labor in the protected
cotton mills of New England were less

cheaper in Chicago than in Boston, and
appetites are the same in both. But
there is no reason about strikers, they,

New FaIstans.

When Sir John Falstaff, "Old Jack"
is snubbed by his once boon companion
Prince Hal. as "gray-haired iniquity,"
he VOWS in the play to '''purge and live
cleanly." This purging has at last been
done for him by the modern rehabilita-
tors Of history. After his ~rehabilita-
ton of King Henry VIII, who was
himself a kind Of Falstaff. and Of Rich
ard III, it is not surprising that that
fat sack of lies and cowardice Sir John,
should be transformed into q hero.
Verdi, it appears is partly responsible
for it, the Falstaff of his last opera
having been so much better a knight
ther the old Eastcheap blowhard Of
Shakespeare, that the tailors who re-
tailor the personages of history saw at
once their chance to put Jack into a
new suit. They identified the poets
Pigment with a real Sir John, who,
they declare, was born at Caistercastle,
Norfolk, in 1877. went to France as a
squire. at 16, distinguished himself as
a brave soldier and founded colleges.
He ran away from Joan or Arc, at
Orleans, however, and the shame of
this n action. surviving all his other
fame, caused Shakespeare to paint his
immortal c%aricature. Unfortunately
for the theory, we are afraid this Gals
~tercastle Falstaff. is no other than u
old friend. Sir John FastOife, who has
before this been confused with Falstaff
against Shakspeare's W testimony.

Shooting Round n Corner.

The lines of the confronting forces
at the crater front We're about 10
yards apart, and so accurate was the
sharpshooters that a hat raised on a
ramrod ever so slightly above the crest
Of the parapet was sure to soon be per-
forated with balls; indeed, ~ceaseless
vigilance was the only guarantee
against injury at any point along these
lines, and, incredible as it may SEEM,
II Is nevertheless true that soldiers
facing the front, and with the earth
works between the enemy and them
selves, were frequently struck i'll the
back by the bullets just grazing the
edge Of the parapet in passing over
with downward inclination, striking
some hard substance behind and glane-
ing diagonally forward. Hence there
was not always discredit in being
wounded in the back while serving in
these trenches.
Danger became OF such hourly oc
currence that its presence made it jocu-
lar with the soldiers. When a broad
side would issue from a Federal bat-
tary. and the heavy missiles came
hurting toward u works, the cry,
More bread" would go up from the
nearby soldiers, which meant that as
o as night or a flag of truce allowed,
the fragments Of metal would be ex-
changed for fresh bread with the junk
dealer and baker from Petersburg; and
these loaves were indeed q relief from
the monotony of hard tack and coarse
cornmeal called 'grits" and often sour.

TREASURE SEEKERS IN MEXICO.
Excavntors at Work Looking for

The discovery of n few scattering
gold coins by a party Of treasure seek
ers near Toluca, Mexico, has added
new zest to the search for the millions
in gold said TO be buried on the Ha-
cienda Of Jalpa, and for which several
large parties are now e%xcavating under
military protection. The amount bur-
led is said to be S20,OO0,O00. That
amount, according to local traditions,
was concealed by bandits many years
ago, being the products OF many innu.
merable robberies. The treasure Is be.
lieved TO consist of gold and silver as
well as jewels. The former pOssessCr

Globe-Democrat, was CriStebal Nava

chained him by the neck and left him

they were wont TO rendezvous. Pedro

er, ut the outbreak of the wal for M

lowers TO abandon, at any rate for the
time, their evil courses and fight foI
their country. The idea was hailet
with patriotic enthusiasm and carried
into effect. Before commencing theil
new enterprise they buried their treas
ures in the ground, intending to recover

them We're killed in the battles which
followed. The Whereabouts Of tn,
treasure was communicated to mem
