 q remember very bad blunder that a certain politician once made in re- gard to the late Frederick Douglass. !" said a Maryland man the other day. "This gentleman, who had a leading part in g. national campaign some years ago, was southerner, or else don't think he would ever have made the blunder. It fell to him to send Mfr. Douglass a check for $500 to pay tho latter's expenses in making a certain circuit where he was delivering speeches in the interest of the repub- lican ticket. In mailing him the check the gentleman addressed the envelope to the Hon. Frederick Doug lass, colored.' The break was a bad one, and the funny part of it was that it was purely an accident. The perpe- trator assured me that it was a pure slip of the pen, and was done as the result of habit. He would have been as far from hurting the feelings of Mir
 Douglass as any man connected with the management of the campaign. But the recipient of the letter was unable to construe the obnoxious address char itably. Tn fact, it made MT. Douglass about as warm as I ever saw him, and he sat down immediately on the re- ceipt of the letter and sent the check back to headquarters. Everybody in au- thority there was humiliated over the faux pas, and most apologetic letter
 was mailed, with the check again en- closed. The apology was accepted, but the word 'colored' was under the ban for the rest Of that campaign"

GOVERNOR ADAMS PASS.
He Had an Encounter With Revenue
 Stamps and Was Worsted.

"Governor Adams acquaintance with the conductors on the Rio Grande rail- road saved him from paying fare or walking to Denver the other day from Salida," said a fellow passenger '.He had entered the coach at the station and when the conductor came along produced the pass he carries all the time.
 You do not have to attach revenue stamps to railroad passes,' ventured the collector of fares.
 |" T know that, retorted the chief ex- ecutive of the state. What makes you suggest that I have attached stamps to my pass?'
 Because you have done so,' replied the conductor.
 'I guess not answered the governor. I know better than that
 " Then look here Who has had your pass? and with this statement the con- ductor handed it back to the governor.
 '"The face of the pass was covered with revenue stamps. They were sticking to it having been attached by the danpness gathered in a sweaty pocketbook.
 The cigars are on me- joculsrly as serted the governor, as he looked at the pasteboard.
 Its all right, anyway said the con- ductor. because I know you and know that this is your pass and have it's num- Der. Were you a stranger, however, l could not accept. it.

SETTING THINGS RIGHT.
General Wheeler Puts an End to
 Red Tape.

It was reported to General Wheeler that there was scarcity of medicines ip camp. The report came from Dr. Wood Of General Amess division hos pital General Wheeler rushed up to the general hospital and had a talk with Colonel Forwood, who is in charge of the medical department.
 'sHow about this?" he said sharply. eff you have no medicines here it is your own fault. These doctors say they cant get medicines"
 There's plenty of medicines here" replied Colonel Forwood, but the doc tors won't send for them."
 wen see about this right now" said the general, and he summoned all the division surgeons to the general hospital They all said they were get ting medicines in better shape now.
 'Well, Colonel Forwood has plenty of medicines said General Wheeler, 'and 1 don't want any surgeons to say tomorrow he is without a proper sup ply"
 He summoned all the surgeons to- gether again in the forenoon. Dr. Wood was the only man who said he had been unable to get medicines. He
  wood, but the medicines did not come.
 How about that, Forwood?' asked the general sharply.
 "The requisition was all right, sir, but Dr. Wood would not send any horse to take the medicines away" Dr. Wood admitted this, but said he had only one horse, and needed three to carry the medicines.
 See, here" said General Wheeler. .siee you don't know enough to send your one horse three times for the medicine, then you have no business here" The general jumped to his feet | and pounded the table with his fist. i ''This nonsense has got to stop. There are supplies enough of all kinds right here in camp, and if the soldiers don't ge. them it's your fault. Men are dying for lack Of medicine, because of your petty ways of doing things. If it is not stopped at once, I shall hold you personally responsible for every death that occurs from lack of care. I will accept excuses about lack Of medicines from no one"
 General Wheeler did not hesitate to call Colonel Fcrwood himself down for irregularities in the hospital.
 There have been complaints that no record of the sick men in the hospital is being kept Why is this? People come here looking for their friends, and can find nc trace of them. Yet they have been here for days Well, we have no way of getting lsuch a record" said Colonel Forwood
 'I'll tell you how to do it" said the general. First get a book with an in- dex. When a man comes in, put his name down fiji the book under the proper letter. After the name put the company and the ward where he can be found When that patient leave; jus. check the name off. Now, I want that done There has got to be system in this camp."-New York Journal MOntauk Letter.

A SHOCKING STORY.
Claimed That Supplies Were Stolen
 From the Sick Soldiers.

Grave charges are made aginst certain officers in the hospital at Montauk by a gentleman who visited the camp on Sun day. In a letter to the Journal he says:
 T have seen such sights today as I never saw before, and doubt if anyone else ever did: men, sick unto death, stretching out their poor, bony arms to attract attention. One poor fellow, member of the Eighth Ohio, gave me scrap of paper with the address of a friend in New York upon it, which it had taken him four ,EourS to scribble, and said, weakly:
 For Gods sake, young man, write to them and tell them to come and get me. Tell them not to send me anything. won't get it, for the officers take all those things. But tell them to come and take me away from here I don't mind dying, but it is hard to die like this.'
 Beside the poor fellow there sat small tin cup filled with hominy. could given to a sick soldier of the nation saw a captain of the regular army with orderly beside him-I had no way or learning his name-break open box which was addressed to one of the Mich igan men in the hospital, and after tast- ing the rich grapes and wine which top ped off the little bundle of delicacies, tell the orderly to take the box to the off, cerS quarters.
 There are fifteen men who will make affidavit to similar offenses.
 ''The men of the signal corps are slowly starving to death. They have no meat, nothing but decayed hocciny and colored water meant for coffee. All this three times each day, and they are forced to dig refuse wells and sinks and to clean horses" ."-New York Journal.

BURGLARS AND BuRGLING.

A Londoner has gathered some interest ing statistics in Britain's capital relative 10 burglars and their system of opera tons. He says that from ? a. n. to a. m. is the most dangerous time for the householder. burglars being then at their Duslest. From a. m. to 9 a. m, and rom a. m. to p. m is not burglirg time-these fifteen hours are house. breaking time. quite a different thing in the eye Of the law. Housebreakers come Tn as follows: From 6 a. m. to a. ra. sixteen housebreakers come in: from & a. m. to 10 a. m. two housebreakers come in; from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. two house. breakers come in: from 1 D. m. to n. nj. sixteen houSebreakers come in; from D. III. to D. n. thirty-one housebreak- CTS come in; from D. m. to 2 D. rl thir- ty-three housebreakers come in Total. lOo. From p. III. to D. m. is the most likely time to receive housebreakers- dinner time. As regards burglars, it is pleasant to reassure the person burgled by the statement that Anly in one ir- stance out of 356 burglares is violence offered to the inmates of a burgled house. Moreover, as more than one third of all convicted burglars are youths between the ages of 16 and 21, the aver age burglar may not be so formidable person as he may be pictured by the startled imagination of householder who is preparing to Ego down stairs" at 2 a.

 Can you not feel sorrow for the trials of the soldiers without launching out in such suffocating rage that you ignore all reason, ali consideration, all justice?

 Jupiter is now about taking . well needed rest, after having played a part in some most interesting and fascinat- ing tableatlx. He will be in conjnnc- ton with the sun early ill October, and when next we see him in November, it will be as the herald of day, to whose light alone does he have to lower his colors. He will then appear somewhat smaller than at present, but will in crease before the years close.
 Saturn finds himself in conjunction with the moon on the 21st, but the matter is hardly of sufficient attract iveness, as the two are not only near each other, and then the moon quar- ters the following nighE. So, at the time of conjunction, there will be too much light to show of the best points of the planet. Saturn, on the 1st of the month came to our meridian about 5:30 in the evening. and gets there about an hour and a quarter earlier before the month closes.

A little London girl visiting rela- t:ves in the country was sent to neighbours for milk. The neighbcr's COW had ceased to give milk for the time, and there was none to be had. "There is no milk today" said the lit- tie girl on her return. ''No milk?" said the aunt. What is the matter?" She didn't tell me what was the mat ter was the reply; "but I suppose the COW aint laying just now.'

From the ime he was IS until his 18th birthday he did rot know what it was to be with out a valet He was always known as san independent, manly sort of fellow, with a good deal of solid common sense in his makeup, so when finan- cial reverses came it surprised none of his friends to hear that he had started in business for himself He and Rawlins Cottonet formed a part nership and opened a modest little florists establishment in Fifth avenue, few doors below Twenty-eighth street, where they made a speciality of the floral decorations for the swellest society functions. The fact that he lost none of his social caste by this ef- fort at independence speaks well for his popularity.

 They were told to lower themselves so they. could catch the ladder when they let themselves go. Mrs Kanngisser was the first. She caught the ladder safely, and then climbed down to the man who was holding it on his shoulders She climbed down to the two men and reached the ledge safely.
