A Great "Graft."

Perhaps the sllckest game that was
ever worked upon members Of congress
was that used a short time ago by a
colored employee OF the house who was
assigned to duty in the members toilet
room. This enterprislng Individual OBJ
tanned a roll call which gave the name
of every member entitled to vote. He
tapped each and every one Of them for
the uniform sum OF 81 and worked his
graft" so successfully that during the
last year of q service In that particular
place he succeeded. according TO ac-
counts. in securing something like 5000
from 300 representatives.
Two dollars was not much TO lend.
and this enterprising African was care
full never to strike the same man twice.
He probably would have kept the game
I'D had II not been for one member who
suspected that he was being worked
and who insisted upon repayment of
the loan. When he spoke to this color
ed gentleman's superior, the whole
scheme was given away, and the enter
prising African was promptly dismiss
ed.

PEARL RIVER LIGHTHOUSE.

Suitable Site at the Tl0uth of

Washington Noy 4.-The an,
nual report of the Lighthouse
Board. which was submitted to
the Secretary of the Treasury to-
day, has this to say of the opera
tions in the Eighth Lighthouse
District, which embraces naviga.
tion OF the Gulf Coast.
"An appropriation of $2500 was
made by the act approved March
2, 1889, for the establishment of
a light on the east bank of Pearl
river, about seven-eighths of a
mile below the railroad bridge, at
Mississippi Sound. Continuous
but unsuccessful effort has been
made to obtain title to q site on
which proper structure could be
erected. The difficulty is that
the owner cannot give such title
as the government can accept.
The legal cost of condemning a
site would probably exceed the
appropriation, The board there.
fore recommends that Pearl river
be included in the general appro-
priation for lighting rivers when,
under its provisions, site for the
light can be leased and the light
can then ct once be established. y
