The vIee-Pr-sIdsntIaI Ink.,and.

One OF the einolumeuis OF the Vice.
President NJ the United States il
found in the portable furnishings at
his o at the Capitol 90 hIs re-
hrement custom entities him Ia take
with him all the souvenirs IL can lug
of. including inkStnnds. ri ,cks. sta.
hopery and other portab!ea. This
adds special interest to the I CT that
q silver inksiand costing 5000. min.
iatnre OF the Capitol. has just been
placed upon the Vice Presidents
desk. for him to make away with On
his retirement. II ,s n curi ars fact
that fnr maDy years il was the
custom oi the retiring Mayor Of the
city Of Ne York to take with him
the inkstand which ornament4d his
own desk and which was faithfully
replaced every year by one 81 the
prominent: city contractors. This
iDk-tand was always quite expensive
and was a pleasant souvenir. Ex.
Mayor Hugh j. Grant violated the
unwitten law by declining Ia take
with him the ink+,and and left it tor
ms successor. ihis broke the pre-
ceden: and it has not been renewed.
There is an opportunity at Washing.
ton for another bad precedent to be
broken,-Leslie's Weekly.
