THE BORE WAS SHOCKED.
A Blunt Letter That Reached Him From
the Interior Department.

the Interior Department.
The following anecdote is related Of
Judge Cox, who was once secretary Of
the interior: There is class of people,
and largo one, who find pleasure in
corresponding with the departments on
trivial subjects and prolong the cor
respordence indefinitely. gentleman,
let us call him Mr.. Jones, was one of
these persistent specimens who wrote to
the interior department. Although re-
plies were made TO his inquiries, he al
ways returned TO the front with another
unimportant question. His case became
subject Of conversation among the
clerks, and at mnchtime one day some
letter writer
"If had my way, said clerk, "Td
soon put an end TO his nonsense.
"How would you do it?'
"Why, I'd write him letter like
this" and he wrote as follows:
DEAR MIR. JoSEs-Yours of the 9th inst.
received In reply would say that your in
tellectual capacities are rather inferior TO
those of a boneless Goldfish, am tired of you.
Hoping you win not write again, l remain,
yours respectfully, -.
The letter was passed around and read
and finally carelessly thrown aside ON a
desk. 1t remained there until evening,
when it was collected, with others, by
the messenger whose duty it was to car
ry letters from the several divisions to
the secretary for his signature. 1t
chanced to be among some letters relat-
ing to routine matters, and Secretary
Cox affixed his signature without read
ing it. Then it went through the mail
to Mr. Jones. The following day the
secretary received communication
from Mr.. Jones. BE was shocked and
grieved; he was fearful that the govern
ment was tottering to its fall. When a
cabinet officer descended to penning
such sentences, he said, he feared for
the welfare of the country. Mr.. Jones
wounded feelings were soothed by per-
sonal letter from the secretary, and to
show that there was no hard feeling on
his part Mr.. Jones at once renewed his
correspondence with the department -

Obituary Poem.

To the cherished memory of Little

day, Oct. 81, 1895.
There's the little empty cradle
That held my baby boy,
There's the little empty carriage
That afforded him such joy.
Where's the joyful baby laughter?
Silence, reigns there now instead;
Gone are the little kissing lips
Sweeter than the roses red.
And the six little teeth peeping through
Like the finest and puyest of pearl,
And Oh the golden tresses
That turned in the babiest curl.
Was there ever a baby swester
yf Orsuited me better said?
And my heart seemed stunned within me
- For all hope OF his living had fed. 4
Just then paused at the cradle
His eyes opened large and bright,
Hooked, and in minute
~ The spirit had taken It's flight.
( Dear to my heart was this baby, rfvg
child of such promise and hope,
Dear to my memory the image
AS through this dark world grope.
Obi whose arms have felt the longing
For the baby they used to holdf WI
Only God knows how long for the dar-

That has reached its Heavenly goal.

The breezy way in which the new

The breezy way in which the new
steward of the Lexington Asylum
talks Of supporting his entire family
1T the States expense and making a
handsome thing out of the office,
forces the conclusion that he has not
read the law applying to his office.
The salary Of the Office is 81 200, with
no perquisites excepting an unfur-
nished house for his family. The
steward himself, if he desires to ssep-
arate himself from his family, may
reside in and also take his meals in
the Asylum. The suggestion that
Mr.. Cardwell "could" demand re-
bates from merchants selling goods
to the Asylum, will doubtless cause
his actions to be closely scrutinized
by the Board of Commissioners, which
will remain Democratic for at least
two years.
