Washington April 10 (SpeciaD The scramble for
the places of Auditors and Deputy Auditors of the
Treasury will shortly come to an end. as IL now
seems certain that these appointments will be
made this week. 1t is said that the Secretary OF
the Treasury will practically control the selections,
and will make business qualifications the basis AT
the same time paying due regard TO other rela-
tions Only one of these places has been filed
that Of Fifth Auditor 10 which Mr.. Timme. of Wis
consin. appointed and confirmed fortnight
ago but has not yet qualified. Mr.. Timme asked
that his predecessor might remain until the adjourn
ment Of the Wisconsin State Legislature of which
he is member. and the request was promptly
granted by Secretary Gage The Legislature adj
tourns this week. and the new Fifth Auditor will
probably assume his duties on Wednesday.
The duties of the Deputy Fifth Auditor have
never been heavy but the present deputy made
them of less weight during the last Administration
than they ever before ID. 6. Alexander Fifth
Auditor in President Harrison's Administration
now representing the Buffalo district in the House
OF Representatives. Is largely responsible for maxi
sinecure. Mr. Alexander walked up the sleepy at
mOsphere OF the Office with his vigorous and prac-
teal ideas. and. being a great worker himself
revoutoniZed t4..ngs to the extent of absorb
ing into his own all the previous duties of the
Deputy The Deputy appointed by President Ceve-
land gracefully accepted the stuatiOn-if not In
ditor Willie has literally done nothing more than
draw his salary. This however. he has done regu-
larry and promptly and. without staying in Wash
ington to do II. but spending most OF his time
in his Florida orange orchard and drawing his sal
airy by voucher. While this condition is an opeI
secret naturally no Democrat would say anything
thought dared not risk their own places by speak
ing OF it, so II went on for four years.

CLOSE SHOOTING.

An Englishman who lived many years in
Africa says that it is now several years
since he ventured to take one OF the most
daring shots that he ever hazared. His wife
was sitting in the house near near the open
door, the children were playing about her,
and he was without not far away, busy
with a wagon.
Suddenly, he says, though it was mid
day, an enormous lion appeared at short
distance, slowly advanced, and laid himself
quietly down in the shade upon the very
threshold of the door.
My wife, frozen with fear remained mo-
tionless in her place. The children took
refuge in her lap, and the cry they uttered
attracting my attention, | FASTENED toward
the door. My establishment and horror
may be imagined when | found the en-
trance barred in such manner.
The lion had not seen me, and | glided
gently, scarcely knowing what | meant to
do, to the side Of the house, and to the
window Of my chamber, in which knew
my loaded gun was standing.
BY a happy chance I had set it in a cor
ner close by the window, so that ! could
reach it from the outside, and, still more
fortunately, the door was open so that
could see the whole danger of the scene.
There was no time to think for the lion
was beginning to move, perhaps With the
intention OF making a spring. | called
softly to the mother not to be afraid and
then fired. The ball passed directly over
my boys head and lodged in the forehead
OF the lion Immediately above the eyes,
and stretched him on the ground.
There was an instant of fearful suspense.
Then fired again; but the second bullet
was thrown away, for his majesty never
stirred after the first shot, and | leaped
over his PROSTATE body to clasp my wife
and children in my arms.

By CHAS. BABSON SOULE.

I sing man. God bless his name!
A man of honest labors
Unknown to fortune or to fame,
But loved by all his neighbors.
No strange or philosophic creed,
No doctrines hard to cipher
For which so many fight and bleed,
And which so many die for,
Could fill his peaceful soul with strife.
They left him as they found him.
His sole philosophy of life
Was-love to all around him!
All hail this man unknown to fame
This man of honest labors;
Oh! did the world but know his name
And love it as his neighbours
No grass could grow beside his grave,
Though guards of iron bound it
For loving feet would quickly pave
A beaten path around it.
