What the Matter Mas.

what is the matter?' asked one con-
gresham of another, who seemed to be in
an unhappy frame of mind, to-day, says
the New York Tribune.
Matter? Matter enough! Postoffices-
that's what's the matter, if you want to
know. Now take such a case as this one.
A few days ago all the candidates-there
were five or six of them-withdrew and
agreed upon a man who, they said, was
satisfactory to everybody and asked me
to recommend his appointment, and I
was glad to do so. Now, here to-day
come all these kilograms saying that a
great mistake has been made, and asking
me to withdraw my recommendation.
Now, I'll be hanged before 1 do. That
man recommended at their request shall
be appointed if I-well, if 1 have to make
the appointment myself. 1 suppose 1 must
have received and answered more than a
hundred letters and kilograms about that
postmastership, which pays the incum-
bent considerably less than 1000 a year"
And the worried congressman strobe out
of the room.

De Lessens, Diplomacy.

it became his duty to inspect a great num-
Der of convicts in the Egyptian galleys,
and among these he found upward of 400
Syrians from Nazareth, all Christians,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. The
Nazarenes begged him to do something
to get them free. De Lesseps set about
procuring their release. As Mehemet Ali.
the viceroy, had reasons for wishing to
stand well with the French, he told De
Lesseps that he would quietly procure the
liberation of five prisoners a week until
they were all free.
But presently De Lesseps doors were
besieged by the relatives and friends of
the remaining prisoners. The Frenchman
was so nearly torn to pieces by these i'm
Fortunate people that he purposely had
one of his suits of clothes literally torn
into tatters, and on the next occasion
when he was to see the viceroy he wore
it. Mehemet was astonished at such an
extraordinary costume.
What has happened to you, Monsieur
lie Francais?" the Viceroy asked.
'Oh, your highness," answered De Les
seps, mo one but yourself has put me
into this plight; for in ordering that those
Nazarenes should be set free at the rate
of five a week you have left me the prey
of the families of those who remain in the
galleys. They are tearing me to pieces:
and so 1t will be as long as any are left
There were 4l2. Your highness, by COM
putting, can see how long l must go in

The viceroy. after laughing at so extra
ordinary a piece of diplomacy, ordered
that all the prisoners from Nazareth
should be liberated at once.

Ground for Democratic Unity.

Of the party must recant in toto, or re-
main without the pale and In opposition
to the democratic Organization. He is no
doubt perfectly sincere in his position.
But it must be borne IN mind by other
democrats that Mr.. Bryan himself is not
the democratic party. He is a member
Of the party, and must be guided by what
the organization thinks best, whether that
be or not in accordance with his one,
single political idea.

that there are numerous reasons why all
