The postoffice investigation contin- ues to.tllrn up scandals that should be a stumbling block to the republicans i'll the next national campaign. One head man found recently after an in vestigation that some of the branches of his department were rotten to the core, and that several of the heads of those divisions had already resigned under fire, anu that several more would have to resign or be kicked out. The investigation was either unearth- ing more serious charges against these men every day or else he was receiv- ing from other sources serious charges.

OLD RACE CARDS.

There are in this country many col lections of old race cards, and one gen. tleman at Brighton who inherited the basis of his store from the late Mir Padwick; once so celebrated, had up- ward of 5000 of these cards, dating back for quite 40 years and including every classic event during that period. The late Marquis of Zetland had the cards of every race he had ever at tended during very long career as an owner of horses. Tn general, the cards that are of the greatest value to the collector are those which have been handled by celebrated persons and which have their pencil notes in the margin. Thus; the gem of the Bright on collection spoken of is Derby day card marked by the young and luckless Marquis of Hastings, who came to such fearful ruin on the very day of men cost it's present owner 30 guineas.
 Only lately at the Travellers club in London collection of cards marked by men who will always be remem-I bered in the history of the turf was sold to a Yorkshire brewer, much in terested in racing matters, for G30O. This same gentleman not long ago bought collection of betting books that had belonged to celebrities, these including Lord George Bentinck, Ad- miral Rous and Lord Falmouth. Al card that relates to a classic race which some horse of the century won, is worth a five-pound note if it be in good condition, even though no other interest attaches to it. It is worth stating that one collector of these cards sadly alludes to the fact that the specimens in his possession have, in reality, cost him over R4O,OOO, that be- ing the sum total of his losses on the races that are represented in the card collection n-Tit-Rits

The appellant aforesaid (Ben Sedg- wick Is aggrieyed by the action and doing of said board of public safety in their action with reference to said charges against Michael Mansfield as aforesaid.
 The above paragraph is one of the clauses in the appeal to, the superior court of the Mansfield case. 1t is really too bad that MT sedgwick feels aggrieved over the decision of the board of safety. He is such big hearted, jolly, good-natured fellow that it may do some damage to his weak constitution. We imagine the board never for a moment thought he would take it so to heart, or if it had, the members of it would probably have censured the officer on one of the nu- merous charges the ex-first selectman took so much pains in preparing. By so doing they would have saved Ben jamin much worry and many weari- some nights and days. If the Citi- zens' alliance is not careful it may drive MT Sedgwick into politics again.

CARDIFF GIANT IN BARN.

How are the mighty fallen! This applies exactly and accurately to the very prosaic Cardiff Giant, monstro- sity of once delXetable origin, which had career of@excitement, interest and doubt that fooled all of the Aneri- can public for short time, and which not till great deal of money had been made out of the fraud.
 After years of triumphal progress about the country, being exhibited to thousands of wondering people, after causing a division in the scientific world as to the authenticity of the claims as to the monsters anteced- ents, the cause of all this trouble is now calmly reposing in a very unro- mantle packing case, protected from the chilling frosts of the winter by a loose garb of coarse sawdust, in the barn of well-known citizen of Fitch burg. Indeed, he has been there for the greater part of the last twenty five years or more, or soon after the Boston Herald put an end to his tme- teoric" career by an editorial which pronounced him fake.
 But here at Fftchburg his giantship is, and few people have known any thing about it. In addition to his suit of sawdust there is some quasi litiga- ton about him that prevents his pub lie participancy in the events of the early years of the new century, when a generation is coming to the fore which will some day want to see him out of curiosity if not for the gratifi- cation of scientific research, which was in his early days ruling motive about him.
 When the business of exhibiting the giant failed, $. s. Lawrence, a local contractor, was engaged to build shed or addition to the hotel, in which the giant could be stored He did so. Soon afterward MT Lawrence took the giant to his own barn and stored it there, and there it has been ever since. There was an agreement as to pay ment for this storage, but nothing has been done about 1t. so MT Lawrence holds on to his stone charge, which he has had nearly tweny-seven years.- Boston Herald

About $6,oo0o0o of gold has been skipped during the curnent month, when the efflux began, and more may follow, says Banker Clews. Some of this has gone to the Argentine, but the bulk went to Paris, presumably to set tie American obligations there. In the present condition of the money market the gold movement is, of course, close ly watched; likewise the loan account, which has shown steady expansion for several weeks past in spite. of general speculative and trade inactiv- ity. 1t is stated that the expansion in loans is largely due to the transfer of credit from Europe to the New York banks. If this be true it is welcome evidence that we are reducing our for eign obligations, and to that extent the expansion is satisfactory one, all though the strengthening of local re- serves is necessary and the time in which that can be done is rapidly di- minishing.

He says these frauds and irregularities have been going on ever since Perry Heath, who is now the secretary of the republican national committee, was installed as first assistant postmaster general; that he has the papers in his posses sion to prove all his charges and only asks the opportunity to do so. From the way things look now he probably will not get the chance to prove his charges.

MIR VANS CANDIDATE.

The rumor that Judge Walter Clark of the supreme court of North Caro- lima was MT Bryan's candidate for the democratic presidential nomination is only true in part. Mir Bryan smiles, and points out that Judge Clark Is but one of a number of democrats who have been pronounced available by the Commoner And there the matter rests, despite the story emanating ap- parently from Senator Blackburn of Kentucky. It may be said concerning Judge Clark that MT Bryan might go farther and fare worse in search for a candidate, if he considers the point of residence no handicap. Judge Clark looms up In ''Who's Who" as a figure even more impressive than that of Judge Parker of New York. The North Carolinian was born in 1S46, and was graduated from the Universi- ty of North Carolina in 1864. A judge of the superior court from 1885 to 1889, and of the supreme court since the latter year, he has served continu- ously on the bench IS years. He has produced three or four law books, has compiled the North Carolina state rec ords, has written the history of the North Carolina regiments in the civil war, has annotated 9 volumes of the North Carolina supreme court reports, has translated from the French Con- stant's memoirs of Napoleon in three volumes, and, at various times, has contributed articles to the North American Review, Harper's Magazine, and the Magazine of American His tory. It goes without saying that Judge Clark was a silver man and a hearty supporter of MT Bryan. He is more socialistic than the Nebraskan, and has written, if memory does not play us false, a magazine article favor ing the purchase of the telegraph lines of the United States by the federal government. Tn education, culture and ability Judge Clark is doubtless fully the peer of such a man as Judge Parker of New York. But his place of residence is not in his favor, and renders him. in fact, quite out of the running in the convention. -SI-ingfi Republican.

GRAHAM BREAD, PERFECT.

One pint of new milk, one scant pint of four, one pint of sifted graham, one-half cake of yeast, dissolved in a cupful of warm milk, one-third cup ful of molasses, one even tablespoon ful of sugar, one tablespoonful of melt ed butter, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of soda. Stir to- gether at night the milk, flour, graham and yeast. Let 1t stand in a warm place to rise. Tn the morning add the molasses, sugar, butter, salt and soda (dissolved in a. little hot water.) Add enough more sifted graham meal to make a thick batter. Pour into one large of two small tins and bake one hour. Delicious bread can be made from this rule by adding in the morn ing equal parts of rye and graham, stirring little stiffer than when us- ing the graham alone.

AN UNPREJUDTCED VIEW.

The Waterbury Republican argues that Officer Mansfield was not come pletely exonerated from the charges of neglect of duty because the jury in his case was not unanimous for com plete acquittal. The verdict of the jury was acquittal on every charge against the officer and that should be sufficient. Every man must be regarded as inno- cent unless and until he is proven guiI- ty. Things would be at sorry pass in free country if minority opinion in jury could affix the stigma of per- centage guilt upon the man on trial. The Republican allows prejudice to sway its usually clear judgment Off cer Mansfield may not be a superlative- lv excellent officer but he is entitled to the rights of the everyday citizen.

Mayor Mulvihill also says it's politics, and some editors in the Park City say 'tis not so. The game of politics stops at nothing, no matter whether it is labor bill or the impeachment of mayor. When the powers that be say the word the track must be cleared and the objectionable measures or persons shunted to their death. politicalwise, at least.

SURGERY FOR DOGS.

Ornamental surgery in it's applica- ton to mankind is very we'll known, but in it's application to dogs it is a thing so new that the world has heard little of 1t as yet The world under stands the process whereby on men and women ornamental surgery removes wrinkles, straightens crooked noses and sets close to the head ears that stick out. It has never heard of the processes whereby on dogs a straight tail that should be kinky receives the requisite cJrls and twists; whereby a King Charles spaniel's nose that is too long and pendulous is shortened and turned up; whereby straight coat is made permanently curly; whereby marks of every description are per- manently added to or permanently subtracted from dogs at will.
 In every city it is easy to find these dog specialists--th sculptors of living canine flesh. The men are, as a rule, dog breeders. They have kennels, more or less extensive, where they rear blooded and costly stock. And necessarily an important branch of their work is that artificial improv- ing of their dogs; for often by little surgical manipulation of a puppy they are able to increase it's value 200 or 300 per cent.
 They are willing to work on the other mems dogs as well as on their own. Here is a list of their principal opera tions, together with their average fees: Altering shape of nose. ...... .$10O0 Making strait tails kinky or curly 800 Reducing thickness of tails. 500 Removing or adding marks...... 800 Changing erect ears to dropping,
 and vice versa. ............... 5.O0 Making a straight coat curly, and
 vice versa .................. t.OU Changing color or coat 750 Rowing bulldogs fore legs. 25!O0 Plucking superfuous hair, per
 hour 100 Wrinkling bulldogs faces ...... 2OOO
 Tn these prices board and nursing are not included, though the after treat ment of a dog that has been operated on requires him to remain in hospital board under these circumstances costs $2 week, and there Is an extra charge of 50 cents a week for medicines. On the outskirts of Philadelphia a dog breeder conducts a canine beauty par lor The place Is an interesting one to visit. Ut stands, along, low building of wood, in a huge field than an eight foot fence of barbwire surrounds. To enter it Is necessary to ring an electric bell at the gateway. Thereupon the breeder or one of his helpers responds, but he does not admit the visitor till he has assured himself of the purport of the visit-- York Tribune.
