"No , William , I'm notmistaken ; ; , and
there' * the pity of It , " | W Mrs. Copelanil ,
with Bad decision , an hcniitisband turned out
the gas. "The bible recordrnlone would up
hold me , If I did not havo/Hr memory to de
pend upon , but the fact rnalns ! Amy was
born on September 7 , and Ifoland on the Hth
of tun game month anft' ear , which Rives
Amy a week's advantage fn'polnt of BKO. "
"I ahould call It a deil'dcS ailvanfage , my
dear. If It stands In the. way of the poor
child's happiness , " obserred Mr. Copeland1.
"No happiness could come of It , believe
me. The advantage should always be on the
husband's side , since women grow old more
rapidly than men. It Is not fair to Amy , and
I could never consent to such a thine. "
"Hut , my dear Harriet , " urged Mr , Copeland -
land , "what possible difference could It make
this paltry week ? Had It been seven
years , now , Instead of seven days , I might
understand. As It Is , no one would believe It.
I don't myself. I really th'lnk there must bo
some mistake. "
"Mistake ! " she echoed , "oh , no , my dear
I remember. " ' . -
"I remember" that was the key note of
the family life. When Mrs. Copeland re
membered , the others meekly bowed In sub
mission. Krom long experience they had
learned to rely upon her memory as 1m-
pllclty as upon the steady old clock at the
foot of the stairs.
There the matter might have rested , for
the night , at least , and poor Amy's hopes
might have hung by the slenderest of
threads , had It not been for a temptation
which often assails and conquers the best
of women a desire for the last word.
"Yes , " said Mrs. Copeland , yielding to
thla weakness , "there Is certainly a week's
difference. I will show you the record of
Amy'c birth tomorrow. In your writing. In
the bible. "
"I don't dispute It , " repeated Mr. Copeland
In drowsy tones ; but as the final word fell
from Mrs. Copeland's lips evil entered his
heart , and he lay awake anxiously thinking
and planning , until his wife's regular
breathing assured him that she was sound
asleep.
Then , In the midst of a brooding silence
which seemed to cast a spell upon the
household , he arose cautiously , softly groped
about for his dressing gown and slippers ,
nnd dropped a box of matches Into one of
his capacious pockets.
His destination was the library , where ,
upon the top shelf of a bookcase , reposed the
family bible. It was the work of a moment
to light the gas , bring the volume down and
spread It open upon the table , after which
Mr. Copeland stood lost In treasonable medi
tation.
Down the long column of defunct ances
tors traveled his fat forefinger , until , reachIng -
Ing his own branch of the family , his search
became more earnest , and bringing his wan
dering digit to a sudden halt he gave vent
to a smothered exclamation of chagrin.
"Confound It ! She Is right again ! "
There In his own handwriting was the fol
lowing entry :
"Amy , eldest daughter of William O. and
Harriet Copeland , born September 7,1870. "
He gazed for a time at hls proof of his
wife's accurate mempry , , agitated by a
variety of emotions , thoughhls purpose never
flagged. He had resolved'Iti that short cur
tain colloquy to tamper1 with the dates ; but
just now , on the eve of executing his design ,
he was sensible of manyJi'un'lms.
He opened his desk and took from one of
the shelves a small vajva ( bit of blotting
paper and a fountain pan The first con
tained some chemlcalT preparation , and
carefully drawing the stopper , he let fall a
single drop of the liquid -upon the date.
Like magic it disappeared , and drying
thd "cleared place with lh blotting paper
Mr. Copeland viewed thbrrplrt of his under
taking with great satisfactions All Incon
venient conscience pangs were now oblit
erated , and he was * only Intent pn perfect
ing his task. ' This brougti&the fountain , pen
Into active * service. * A light sVroke , and
the deed was done. * *
The anxious lines "disappeared from his
genial face , a smile played YOund'the corners
of his mouth and twinkled In his eyes as
he replaced the bible , concealed the weapons
of his enterprise and tiptoed up stairs. But
at tne first landing a shock awaited him ,
for there stood his daughter Amy , also en
veloped in a wrapper , her little bare feet
thrust Into slippers , her pretty hair falling
about her face as she leanedover , the ban
isters and peered anxiously into the dimly
lighted hall.
" .Father. " she exclaimed In a surprised
whisper , "what are you doing at this time of
night ? "
Mr. Copeland started guiltily like a
schoolboy caught In mischief.
'I might ask that question of you , " my
dear , " he returned , parrying her attack.
"I was hunting for a boot. "
"And I for robbers. I am sure some one
turned the Jmndle of my door awhile ago.
I was frightened. "
"Silly child , " said Mr. Copeland , "no one
was stirring but myself. Now go to bed
and preserve your roses , else your mother
will wake up and scold us both. "
The girl cut his sentence short by tucking
his arm within hers and .leading him down
stairs again , like a lamb to the sacrifice.
"There , strike a light , " she commanded.
Mr. Copeland obeyed.
"Now , sir , " said Amy , fixing her laughing
eyes upon him , "what mischief have you
been brewing ? "
"Xone , my dear.upon my honor , " cried
Mr. Copeland , turning a-.sbade or two red
der , if possible.
She shook her head dubiously.
"But , seriously , " said 'Amy , "I wanted to
ask your advise. What am I to do ? I can
never marrylloland against mother's wishes ,
that Is clear enough , but how to overcome
the obstacle I am at a loss to conjecture.
At the same time I owe a certain duty to
Roland , who loves me. "
"To be sure , to be sure , " assented Mr.
Copeland , studying the tips of his slippers
In seeming abstraction. Roland Is a fine
fellow , my dear , If It were not for the dis
parity In age. "
"Ah ! that ugly , provoking , obstinate
week ! " flinging out each adjective with a
gesture of despair , "and Roland would take
It from me gladly if he could. Do I look
so very ancient. BO very much his senior ?
Is age so plainly written on my face ? "
"No , I cannot say that It Is , " replied Mr.
Copeland. with a critical glance. "You are a
wee thing , after all. Holand looks years
older , and , do you know , " sinking his voice
confidentially. "I have come to the conclu
sion that your mother must be mistaken. " _
Amy started bacjc horrified. "Never ,
never ! you forget mother's memory. That
is unimpeachable. "
It was now Mr. Copeland's turn to ehake
his head. .
"Nevertheless , I hold . ( p the opinion that
there Is an error In this case. With so
many things Jostling rqfu } . another In her
mind , would there b anylwonder If she had
confused the date ? " ' "

"Until mother , In thp.Hklndness . of her

cision.
"What must be obliterated * "
"The date ahem I should say the fact. "
returned Mr. Copeland , In some confusion.
"There , never mind , my dear. Don't bo

end. What an untimely hour for discus-
slon ! One o'clock Just fancy if your
mother should wake up and miss me !

It.
Mrs. Copcland's memory , as before stated ,
was a family Institution. It was a perfect
encyclopedia of.dales and events , a most
useful and valuable accompaniment to a very
charming woman , and especially useful to
Mr. Copeland , whose absent-mindedness was
an Incessant drawback.
But regarding Amy's little romance , Mrs.
Copeland's memory bade fair to prove a
serious bar. From childhood those two
lovers had seemed destined for each other ,
from the days when they shared all their
possessions , and generous Roland yielded the
better half to his little sweetheart
through the various stages , through the
transitions of boyhood and girlhood , when
the timid heart begins to know Itself.
Out of this thuy emerged hand In hand ,
to the general satisfaction , for Ronald Deane
was a sterling fellow , and both Mr. and
Mrs. Copolund heartily agreed when they
declared their approval of Amy's choice.
For a while nil went well , and many de
lightful plans had been made for the fu
ture , until Mrs. Copeland began a course of
reminiscences relative to this Important
change in her darling's life , and thetr she
came upon the awful discovery that In
point of age Amy outstripped Roland by a
week.
Mrs. Copeland passed a most miserable
day. To such marriages she had a rooted
antipathy , that no amount of argument
could dispel.
So It Is no wonder that In contemplating
the deed Just so successfully accomplished ,
Mr. Copeland had fairly trembled at his
temerity.
Had his bold scheme involved any other
book he would not have hesitated ; but he
venerated the sacred volume and felt. In
what he had determined to do , a certain
awe and drea'd , as If he meditated nothing
short of altering the ten commandments.
Ho was decidedly nervous the next mornIng -
Ing and evaded the Important subject by
every artifice In his power. He had no
wish to taste of victory so early In the
day ; so when Mrs/ Copeland , pursuing at
the breakfast table the thread of their late
discourse , offered to produce testimony on
the spot , Mr. Copeland rose \\lth all ap
pearance of haste and and glanced at his
watch.
"Nine o'clock , my dear Harriet. I'm late
as it is. I can't wait ; some other time will
do. This evening , perhaps. Goodbye , " with
which he hurried off.
It ivas part of his plan to encounter Ro
land in the course of the day. and it was
his good fortune to meet him that evening
walking In the direction of their house.
"See here , Roland , " he began , "I want
to speak to you about Amy. Have you no
ticed the dear child has not been quite her
self for the past day or so ? "
"I have , Mr. Copeland. Amy is needlessly
worried over such a trifling matter ; It is
not worthy of consideration. " '
"Ah , my young friend , " answered Mr.
Copeland , with a disapproving shake of his
head , "you make a mistake. If a man had
a toothache , for instance , it does him no
good to tell him It Is a mere trifle. To telf
Amy It doesn't matter Is so much wasted
breath. It does matter , for It is there , and
clearly what must be done Is to remove the
cause of distemper , "
"I understand your words , Mr. Copeland , "
said Roland , "but I must confess I fail to
grasp your meaning wholly. It Is beyond
our power to annihilate facts , else , believe
me , I would gladly shoulder a burden of 50
years to restore Amy's happiness or do
away with Mrs. Copeland's prejudice. "
"Not prejudice , " objected Mr. Copeland.
"that Is not the word. Mrs. Copeland is
suffering from the effects of an .acute at-
taclc of memory. If > 'ou "knew my wife as I
do but this is a case of too much of a good
thing and I om going to administer an
antidote. "
Roland wai , silent in amazement. He
had been sufficiently Intimate with the
family to appreciate the stupendous im
port of thU declaration. He trembled at
the thought or sucn uomness.
"I don't think you have fairly considered
the difficulty of your scheme , Mr. Copelarfd , "
he said at last.
"Why difficult ? " queried that gentleman.
"Are not the best of us liable to err some
times ? My wife during all these years has
been particularly exempt from the common
lot of mortals , but her time may come ,
Roland her time may come ! "
There was something prophetic In Mr.
Copeland's words , and withal a latent tri
umph in voice and manner which Impressed
his hearer against bis will.
III.
That evening a peculiar Influence per
vaded the atmosphere of the Copeland fam
ily , charging it like electricity , and , strange
to say. It could be traced to Mr. Copoland.
' Usually kind hearted and cheerful , these
traits became marked by an intensity that
was almost painful. His good humor
amounted to such hilarity that the house
seemed too small to contain It.
They were enjoying a pleasant half hour
after dinner In the library , quite uncon
scious that Roland and Amy In the room
beyond wore determining the best way to
bring affairs to an Issue , for which purpose ,
accordingly , they invaded the "Sanctuary " to
gether.
One look at their faces caused Mr. Copeland -
land to retire behind his newspaper a man's
surest safeguard when family disturbance Is
brewing.
Mrs. Copeland raised her eyes from her
knitting as they came In , but she , too , de
tected something , -and silence held them all
for a moment.
"Mother. " began Amy , in a trembling
voice , "Roland and I have come tonight to
ask to beg. Indeed that you will renew
your consent to our engagement which you
gave so long agoA"
"Indeed. Mrs. Copeland , " added Roland ,
in clear , firm tones , "Amy and I have tried
and proved our affection. Do not make us
waste out youth In waiting. There Is noth
ing to hinder our marriage , save this
shadow , which you have raised between us.
Lot it fade for the happiness of all.
Mrs. Copeland , at this appeal , laid down
her knitting , and Mr. Copeland's newspaper
rattled sympathetically.
"My dear children , " said Mrs. Copeland ,
much distressed , " ! wish I could make you
ECO. this matter as I do. It Is the principle
of the tiling. . My objection Is not a shadow ,
Roland , but tangible , as you know , and not
easily overcome. Perhaps you think me
over sensitive on this one subject. "
"My dear. " interrupted Mr. Copeland , In
a serious tone , "I don't'pretend to take sides
In this Important question I am too Inter
ested in all parties. Your objection , Har
riet , as you have stated It , Is well grounded
I dent deny that yet these children are
no less reasonable In their demands. What
amazes mo la that you should not reflect
that you might bo mistaken In this matter.
Memory Is caprlclouu and It may have served
you a false turn. "
"Not my memory , " said Mrs. Copt-land ,
with an air of pride , as If In defending It
she upheld the family escutcheon.
"Well , " said Mr. Copeland , shrugging his
shoulders as his eycK returned to the paper ,
"I have but expressed ray opinion. " 'O
"I cannot believe It possible , William"
'Mrs. Copeland'R voice assumed a reproachful
tenderness "that after all those years you
should doubt me. "
"Not you , Harriet. " replied her husband ,
"only your memory. "
Mr. Copeland was groulng philosophical In
anticipation of his approaching triumph.
" 'After all these years' was the term you
used ; don't you rrolre ! that time weakens
rather than strengthens that faculty of
yours ? People at our period of life may wear
well you do , my love but wo must not ex
pect too much. It U perfectly natural that
after its ceaseless labor the springs of your
memory should be Impaired , It Is'only what
we must all look forward to , and , surely ,
you do not mind going down the hill with
me Harriet ? "
Tears came Into Mrs. Copeland's eyes , but
she did not speak , and Mr Copeland continued
tinued-
"Does not the new happiness , ready to
flower at your bidding , compensate you lor
this trifling lapse ? Could you be content ,
dear , to gain a point arid lose the BOlamn
Joy that uniting these two lives might grant
to you and me * I don't plead for them ;
neither do I ask you to deviate from a prin
ciple , only consult your clear Judgment and
do what It dictates. "
Without a word Mrs , Copeland rose , and
with An air of rigid calmness laid aside her
knitting.
With a firm Mep she walked to the book
case , and taking from It the family bible
xhe cleared place upon the table nnd
placed It before her hunband ,
"You remember , " nils asked slowly , "re
cording the date ? "
"Indeed I do , " assented Mr. Copeland ,
heartily.
"And I remember , " she nld , "neelng you
ftot down the day and year , September 7.
1S70. I tell you thla before consulting the
register , for I honestly desire to be fair to
Amy and myslf. "
Mr. Copeland actually trembled In an
agony of conscience , and almost stopped
breathing while Mrs. Copeland turned the
loaves.
Ho controlled himself with ft great effort
as she rohc'ioj the fatal page. Ho watched
her forefinger travel down the column , as
his had tlone ; he saw her stop suddenly ,
urn ! he felt that the moment of victory had
come.
She did not speak at first , but stood staring
at the date as If her eyes had deceived her.
"Amy , Roland , come here , " was her first
words , and as they obeyed her summons she
pointed to the accusing number.
"I U-UR mistaken , " nho said , simply , but
FO pathetic was this bit of renunciation that
Mr. Copeland felt templed to step forth and
declare his duplicity , when his eyes fell
upon the transfigured faces of the lovers.
No. that would never do ; he must be firm
and stand to his false colors for the good of
all.
all.Mrs.
Mrs. Copeland gradually regained her com
posure , her momentary chagrin was counter
balanced by her true maternal feeling , and
as for Mr. Copeland. his satisfaction knew no
. bound ) .
When the young people left them a re
flection of their Joy lingered behind , glorify
ing Mr. nnd Mrs , Copeland as they ual to
gether on the sofa , hand In hand.
"William , " said Mrs. Copeland , breaking
a pause , I shall never remember again. "
"Oh , my dear ! " exclaimed Mr. Copeland ,
In alarm.
"Never positively , I mean. I suppose I
shall always have a tendency to recall facts ,
but always conditionally. "
And so It proved. From that day she
lost the air of assurance that had made her
an oracle. Her active mind still performed
Its customary duties , but without ostenta
tion.
It was never "I rcmember"but "If I re
member correctly , " "If I nm not mistaken , "
uttered with such humility and doubt as to
render the expression painful to Mr. Cope-
land's ear.
But he never recanted , and Amy's fair
beauty and unclouded happiness In home
measure overbalanced that one false stroke
on the record page of the family blblo.
NUTSHELL'S SPLENDID GALLOP.
The Speed niul llattom al Ilin I.lttla Mnri-
8aved Her MlttrcgVti Life.
"Seo yonder horse's foot that lianps
on the nn.il over the firopluccV said
Colonel Bowno rccditativoly , as ho
flicked the ashes from the tip of his
dEiir in his apartments up town on
Thursday nifjht. The wind and snow
wore holding carnival in the streets ,
making everybody tvithin doors thank
ful for the shelter of a home. Three
fruc.sl.s ! had dined with the colonel , says
the New York Sun , and they were now
t-eated about the cpen grate in the en
joyment of fragrant cigard. They saw
nothintr unusual in the mass of horn
their attention was called to , save per
haps that it \ < MS burnished with great
care , and that it hung pendent from a
knot of blue ribbons. All nodded as
sent , however , when the colonel repeated
his query , and waited , for they were
sure the hoof had a history , and few
can tell a story better than this re
tired nrtny ollicer , who o hair is as
white as the carpet of snow that lay
outside , muflling the footfalls of the
passers-by and causing the hopes in
Fifth avenue to struggle for their fee
every step they took.
"Did I ever tell you how my mare ,
Nutshell , saved the lifo of my vifo away
back in ' 05 ? No , I think' not , " anil
the colonel gazed a long time into the
cheery depths of the flro and sighed
heavily two or three times as the Hood
of recollections swept away the curtain
of the past. The guests knew that his
thoughts wore with the spirit of a sweet
woman who.had been dead ton years ,
and when the colonel fumbled at the
locket at his chain which held her pic
ture they remained bilent.
'Like most men in the army , I fell in
love young , and was married in Fred-
eriek&burg .Jn ' 03 , returning to my post
of duty almost immediately after 1 was
made the happiest man on earth. ! My
Jathor-in-law was a racing mana breeder
of thoroughbreds , and when I went back
to my.regiment I carried with mo a 3-
'
year'old ) mare as a present from the old
gcntlomiin , who baid that , having no boy
of his own , ho wanted the son of his
adoption to bo well mounted nnd a credit
to the army. The mare was a lovely
chestnut in color , and , although a trillc
undersized , handled my JGO pounds as
though it wore pluy to her , seemins ab-
bolutely tireless and possessed of speed
of such" hijjh order that she won several
match races for mowith the utmost
ea&e. Nutshell wns the name given to
her by ray father-in-law , anu out of rc-
f.pcet for him i did not change it , al
though [ often thought that it scarcely
ae med fitting for such a glorious mare.
1 rode her through a number of engage
ments and never found her wanting , in
battle she hud all the courage oC a.Rtal-
lion and entered into the .spirit of the
contest with a vigor that was amazing.
Her eyes fairly blazed on such occasions
and she struck with her front foot at. the
enemy with a vigor that transformed
her no that bho did not seem the same
animal that was so docile before the
trumpets sounded. I remember once hi
the Shenaiidoah valley that nho became
uncontrollable for a time in the heat of
a light and fastened lior teeth into the
neck of an opponent's charger and never
gave up until he was dead and his rider
my prisoner ,
"After hostilities had ceased my
father-in-law insisted that my wife and
I should make our homo with him. Hav
ing no plans for thti immediate future I
was glad of the opportunity and the
months of Juue. July , August and Sep
tember pasHed away most lumpily. "
The colonel looked at the window ,
where the snowllakes wore eddying , and
was evidently readinc from the open
book of the past.
"One day , " he resumed , ' 'one of the
men on the place used moro force than
1 thought was necessary in bridling Nut
shell , and when I took him to tusk ho
was insolent. ' 1 wont into the house to
avoid trouble , for I was quick tempered
in Ihoso days , but 1 couldn't forgot the
fellow's manner , and came to the door in
time to bee him snatch at the curb and
throyv the inure unon her haunches. In
an instant 1 hud him by the ttiroat.aiid
I'd probably have killed him it they
hadn't torn mo away. The man was dis
charged , and after dinner , when wo bat
down for an evening's enjoyment , the en
tire episode was forgotten. After Home
music , my wife asked mu to read aloud
to the family , and , approach ing mo from
behind with the buolc , put her arms
about my neck In a wav that was po-
cultarh her own.I hud grasped her by
the wribtri and was'about tu speak , when
'
the glass in a French window' the end
of the room wus shattered , and the re
port of a gun almost deufencd us.
"I rememlwr1 and th < * colonel coso to
his foot and begun pacing rapidly bcforo
the hearth , "that my fatlier-in-luw and
myself , with half it uoztm servant * at our
heals , ru.shed upon the pliuzu. A sc-renm
from my wife's mother brought mo to
the drawing room In an inst nt , and'
there I found myvlfo v.-itli her head
pillowed upon her mother's bswoin nnd
bkiod pouring from u wound in her
Ill-oust just ubuvo the heart. The sc j m-
drel had mU ed m > head by un
Inch 01 * two and reached u fuirer
mark. The ncamst physician wns at
Frederlcksburf ? , ton miles nwny , and the
plunk road wns in tlin worst ponilbla
condition. Shouting like n lunumnn , I
ru.shud to thn barn , paddled Nutshell ,
and in lo s thnti two minute * was gal
loping mndlv for medical a-wlstntico. I
know the folks at homo would do their
best to stuy the How of blood , and Unit
everything rested In the prompt atten
tion of a surgeon. I spared neither
whip nor spur , -but urged the gallant
mare until it seemed that pho must fall
from sheer exhaustion , and when the
lights of Froderlckfrburg ros > o before mo
the muro's sides were torn nnd blooding ,
whore they were not white with foam ,
and I was llltle loss than a madman.
The doctor , who was an old frlond , hud
not retired , and ho was In the satldlo
and galloping by my nido within n few
inlmite.s. Ho urged his hoive , a stout
half-bred , to his bet pace , but ho was
no mutch for Nutshell , and when luuf
the journey was completed ho stumbled
and foil heavily , throwing the doctor far
In advance. I drew rein , nnd felt my
very blood freere In my veins when 'l
heard him shout : 'Tills is bad
Bowno. Mv horse has broken n leg. '
"There was nothing els--o for it but to
have Nutshell carry double , or oho I
could abandon her to the doctor and
proceed on foot. The thought , however ,
that my wife might die before I reached
the house settled everything , and in u
twinkling the b 'iinio mare was stagger
ing onward under her double burden. A
do/en times Bho stumble. ! to her knees ,
but I roused her with voice and hand ,
and she s * niggled on and on until she
seemed possessed of endurance beyond
her sj > ecio3. When the house with its.
lights came into view she Boomed to
know the necessity of an extra olTort.
and when we dismounted nt the door and
my fatlier-in-law shouted , 'She's alive
yet , thero'shope still. ' I throw the reins
to a servant and followed the doctor
into the house. Tljo wound was a bad
one , but the surgeon was possessed of
uncommon skill , and my Svife ultimately
recovered. God wns good ; He spared
her to mo for years , and then IOOK his
own , but my ullnnt little mare , 1 never
saw her ulive again.
"They found her in the morning
stretched cold nnd stiff in her box stall.
There ivuMi't a dry eye in the household ,
and bho was buried on u mound in the
postern whore she first saw the light of
day. I had her off front foot cut olt and
mounted , as you see , and there's no
money could get mo to part with it.1
The colonel wu silent again , nnd none

MARK TW.ilN'3 PULL.
A Smooth Jub Worked Tlimucli It in h
Clf'Tplaiiil.
Mark Twain has u pull with the ad
ministration. That has boon demon
strated. He lias a bigger pull than Secretary -
rotary Grcsham , .losiuh Quincy and the
democratic delegation of Illinois put to
gether , says the Chicago Record. Last
summer , when Mr. Quiney wns engaged
in his herculean labors in the cause of
reform , ho offered u prominent German
of Illinois a certain place in the consular
service , which had been and is still oc
cupied by one of the most clllcicnt men
on the rolls of the irovernincnt. The re
moval and appoin'inbnt wore , made out
with the concurrence of Secretary
Grcsham , and Mr. Quincy took them
over to the white hou&o for -the presi
dent's -approval. J3ut ho brought them
back unsigned and with instructions to
inform the consul in question that ho
might mnko his nrrangcmcnts to stay at
his post as long as Grovcr Cleveland
was president of the United States.
The secretary of btato never know the
rcasonifor the president's action , but it
has since leaked out that it was duo to u
letter written by Murk Twain u'htlo ho
was in Europe last summer. Ho had
frequently visited the place where this
consul la stationed and knew him very
well. One day ho called at the con
sulate and found his friend packing up
his books nnd papers for shipment home.
He had not been removed , but hud re
ceived notice .that his buccessor might
bo named any day. This suggested u
discussion of. the tunuro of otllee in the
consular service , ami when Mark Twain
returned to his hotel lie But down nnd
wrote a letter to Baby Kuth Clovolnmt
on the subject. '
"I am a mug'wump , " ho said , "und I
cannot nsk the president any fnvors. It
would be a violation of our creed , but
there is no reason why I should not nsk
you to say to him that in all my travels
throughout the-world during the last
twenty years I huvo made the acquaint-
nnce of a great many cjnsuls , good , bud
and hiditforenti und 1 have never known
a better one than Mr. So nnd So , who
has just received notice that his jilnco
is wanted for same inexperienced man ,
biinply because ho is u republican und
the other folloiv is a democrat. "
Here followed a review of the record
of the consul In question , a description
of the peculiar qimlilicutious which fitted
him for the , place , and Mr. Twain's
views us a mugwump concerning the
manner in which Assistant Secretary
Quincy was carrying on thn work of re
form by turning out all the republicans
in tlo borvlco and Jilling their place *
with democrats , regardless of their ef
ficiency or qualifications. In ejuneiiision
he asked Buby Ituth to use her iullucnco
with her father to stop that sort of
thing , nnd particularly to prevent Mr.
from boinsr .slaughtered like the
rest. '
The letter was posted , nnd in nb-Jiit
threg wceifs there uumo n reply writ'ou
on the stntlonory of the executive man
sion , in which Miss lluth C'lovoluiKl pre
sented her compliments to Mr. Tuntn
and boirgod to say thut bho hud cjn -
municutcd thu contents of tliu letter to
the president , who dcsirud her to thank
him for having brought the matter to
liin attention , and to u uro him thut the
gentleman of whom ho wrote would bo
allowed to remain in olllco as long us ho
performed his duties us faithfully ui ho
hud done in the pi'ut.
