The govermcutal Hpoct ot tho tlnan. oitJ situation la thus vividly photo i graphed by tho plain apokon Now York .Sim: "A moro aerioua cause for anxiety ia the absence, aa yot, ot tho manifestation of anything llko commanding financial ability either at tho capital ot tho nation or in this metropolis. Tho president is net, indeed, expected to be himself a akilled and experienced financier, but ho aa oall to his aid the boat experts ot the country and profit by thoir counsels. Yt his secretary of tho treasury is a telpher, and though hk message to con- was presumably written alter oJMMmlUtkm with those whom -he thought competent to advise him, it is rsamkable for its lack ot all recomnien-, datfoas savo that ot tho stoppage of Hver purchases. It is silent in regard to the tax on atato bank circulation, itont in regard to the increase ot na liana) bank circulation. It aaya noth ing about legalising the present un authorised gold reserve fund, and noth 4kg about giving explicitly to the secre tary ot the treasury the power to pro um gold for that fund by tho sale of bonds. It tosses tho whole subject ot the finances bodily into tho lap ot con gress, to bo wrangled over at pleasure. Thk night bo pardonable if 4 either in the house of representatives or in the enate the party which elected Presi dent Cleveland was represented by a nan competont to shape legislation on financial matters and to conduct tho debates on them to a successful ter mination, but no Buch man has as jet .appeared. Tho republicans aro moro fortunato In having in tho senate, in tho .person ot Senator Sherman, a well-in-.formed and able financier as well as -debater, but ho is a solium and dishonest politician, who would rather tho coun try should go to ruin than that It should be helped by any moasuro which would -benefit hk opponents." It k not exactly clear wherein Souator Sherman has merited the chargo ot eel ishness and dishonesty. Tho senator has thk far shown himself willing and anxious to render every reasonable aid to the party in power in straightening ou the financial tangle. vV THATlXHJgreesman isryansnouiumako t aanMtcn wmi luuvimuiu. jiuu ue imuuv to the fronton Wednesday.

It snyB tho French can neither nixak nor h(K)1I tho word by which tho world's fair city is known, and that hardly any English man can pronounco it rightly, A Gor man needs years of training for its ut toronco. An Italian raises laughter in tho Plalsanco when ho ejaculates it. Jewish newcomers from Russia wrestlo with It for a long timo, though its first syllablo la of Hebraic sound. Tho colored people ot tho far south smilo when thoy try to get it off. Even a member ot the tribe of Indians from whoso language tho word was stolon, says it has boon corrupted out ot reason. There aro atorios from old Ireland about tho attempts ot tho natives of that country to speak or spoil tho titlo ot tho naval ship Chicago, which put In at the port of Queenstown last month. Somo ot thorn pronounco tho first Hyllablo Koo, which is in accord with tho Italian usogo, soften tho next consonant c, sharpon tho vowel a, and then Btriko out into tho open pasture It is sug gested that tho last syllablo ot tho word would mako a good enough name. "AnylKxIy can say Go, oven an infant, or u cannibal, or n Midway ponton, or u truckman. Tho adoption of that plain yot oxpresslvo verb us tho namo of tho western placo would savo mankind a lot of troublo, and rollovo many people from pain in tho mouth." But Chicago will hardly chango Its name bocauso it gives some people a pain in t,ho mouth. It has givon a largo number of twoplo, notably envious Now Yorkors, a worse pain than that, without fooling particu larly conscience stricken. The egregious It, Soth Mobloy, tho man who draws 1210 per month for dawdling ut tho Nebraska building In Chicago, under tho supervision ot tho rattlebrained cracker man, Joe Gar noau, not content with tho compurativo obscurity which ho has hitherto on joyed, haaof lato manifested a disposi tion to mako himself as notorious as his principal, and ho has been writing the most ridiculous nonsonBO for tho Omaha papors. Now the only security for addle- pa tod, -shambling excuses like Mobley is in obscurity, and thk specimen of Ne braska's capability in tho production of misfits, made a great inistako when ho rushed into print with his drivel. Mobloy would be overpaid at 9210 per year; yot ho receives thk amount per month for doing absolutely nothing, and now that ho has called public attention to himself it really seems that Mobloy is tho cul minating atrocity of Garneuuism. Mobley alono ia enough to queer tho exhibit. Thk precious representative ot .Nebraska journalism has tho effrontery to inslnuato that tho criticism ot tho .Nebraska exhibit is duo to tho inability ot the critics to procure freo admission to tho fair. Porhajw Mr. Garneau'a wlno suppers have mado Mobley entirely crazy. That ia tho most charitable view to tako of his utterances. But ho should bo suppressed. There is certainly no domuud on the part of tho state for chuttering empty heads ut 8240 per month. Mobley is utfor all worse than tho Nebraska building. That is a monumental pile ot tremendous blunders that Crounso and Ournoau have to answer for, and Mobloy is tho capstone. Tin: democrats of Ohio could havo selected no worthier opponent ot Me Kinley than Larry Neul, tho mun who wroto tho freo trudo plank of tho Chicago platform, und dubbed tho protection measure proposed by McKinloy, tho "cul minating atrocity of class legislation."

There was a look of wild distress upon her face. She rushed from the train sad clutched tho conductor by the arm as ha stood upon the platform. She was not beautiful, but Interesting. It was nearly a minute before she was able to give coherent utterance to her thoughts. Presently, however, she was able to gasp a little. "I-I've been robbed." Tho conductor gazed calmly into her face and shook his head. "Madam" His voice was gentle but firm. i- "you are mltttakeu. You were not In the sleeping cur."

Hazowolt was n rabid domocrat, and Daniels, who was iost master of tho village, wan a 110 less rabid republican. Hazowell know Horatio So)mour wuh mire to bo elected. Daniels was just as suro that Grant was to bo successful. Both men wero angry, and llnally Daniels Hiiid: "Well, Ilulltt, If Soymour's elected I'll bo hanged It I'll stay in tho country." Anxious to show as deep disgust at tho prosoct ot re publican victory, Hazowell said! "I won't leavo tho country, Daniels; but if Grunt's elected I'll climb a tree and stay thero." And ho did. Ho climbed a chestnut treo and ho has boon thoro over since, oxcopt when ho has had to get down to till his farm or go to tho store. Hy tho (lino Grant wan inaugurated ho had built him a homo in tho tree. It rests in the forks of several largo limbs twenty feet from tho ground. It wuh built of joists and boards securely fastened to tho limbs and trunk of tho treo. Tho roof k shingled, tho Hides covered with clapboards, and it Ih altogether as woll built in ovory part hbU would havo been It It hud been Intonded to rest upon tho ground. Of courso it is small, but thoro is suftlcfont room for tho nccommodutlon of tho occupant. Thoro aro throe tiny upartmontB, all woll furnished, woll' lighted and thoroughly vontiluted. A ladder leads from tho ground to a plat form in front of tho entrance of tho houso. Tho treo is an immense ono for Con necticut. At tho baso tho trunk meas ures nearly fivo toot through. Tho heart of tho trunk is decaying and Hazowoll has built a collar under tho roots, to which it is possible to descend by a ladder insido tho trunk. Thk cellar is novor reached by frosts, ho says, oven in tho coldest weather. Tho owner does not load a solitary lifo by any moans. Llko Robinson Crusoe ho has tamed tho birds and animals that haunt tho treo and made companions ot them, und thoy receive favors ut his hand with tho utmost confidence in his friendship. Among tho branches ho has built n small platform that serves us a tablo for tho birds und tho squirrels, who aro fed daily; und whilo thoy cat ho sits near by und watches thorn und occasionally picks up a bird or n squirrel to fondlo it.

Strauge Amusement. In 1054 the public punishment of criminals becarno a prominent feature of carnival. It was felt to be a serious check upon the gayety of tho festival, but excused as an awful oxainplo for such as wero inclined to profit by the general licenso for criminal behavior rendered necessary now that precept had been found inadequate to cope with the disorders. Later on the chief and most celebrated criminals wero specially re served far carnival, on the first Saturday of which they were punished. Such as were guilty of disorderly con duct during carnival itself were usually flogged, and the necessary apparatus for thk stood ready in several parts of the city. We aro reminded of their existence today by tho name Piazzctta della Corda, and they remained up permanently until destroyed by the people in 1788. Courtesans were also publicly chas tised if caught masked or dressed as men in the Corso the public exocationor not being above seeking popularity by mak ing victims of the most prominent. Thus in 1056 was publicly chastised Cecca-buffona, tho favorite of Cardinal Antonio, nephew of Urban VIII. Gen tleman's Magazine. The Testimony of a Friend.

"Brother Brad ley," said he, "is nn old fashioned, bluo gummed negro and a boyhood friend of mine, by whoso side I havo worked many a day in tho cornfield.

Loud and clear this cry of distress rang through tho rotunda of the Administration building early this morn ing, startling tho sleepy guard who sat In a darkened comer. He listened intently. Without ho heard tho shuffle of tho feet of tho first workmen on tho gravel walk. Tho hum in his head gradually increased, lulling him into ;i peaceful slumber, and in hk imagination he was just arresting a visitor who had asked him where tho Manufactures build ing was, when the cry for help again rang out and brought tho guard to his feet. Ho tiptoed to the door, and standing within its shadow he listened. Suddenly from without tho door camo a moan, followed by another. The guard rushed out of tho door and there beheld, to his surprise, a young man, the shape ot whose head and the cut of whose clothes proclaimed him to be of the species "dude." "Who called for help?" demanded the guard. "Idld,"thedudosaid. "What is the matter?" asked the guard. "Woe is me," the dude moaned, looking at the slot in tho machine. "I cmnu this morning and unthinkingly dropped a nick el in this slot, which requires only a cent Please help me to get back 4 cents." Chi cago Record. '.I.tstcd More Faith. A clergyman who was settled some years ago in a southern town was in great favor with the colored brethren and wan fre quently called upon to "sit in council" with the members ot one ot their churches In a neighboring town. Among these members was au old darky, with grizzled hair, who had In a high degree the gift for "responses" so much cul tivated by tbe peoplo of his color. He wat always ready with "Amen!" and moro thau ready with "Glory!" but his particular fond ness was for the fervent ejaculation, "Oe Lord gib us more faith!" On ono occasion, when the clergyman In question had been called upon to discourse, to thk congregation, be illustrated his "practical talk" with tho story of an occur rence which he bad himself witnessed not long before. As ho finished it he said ear nestly! "Now, my brethren, you would hardly believe, would you, that any man could have witnessed such a scene as that almost at your very doors?" As he paused, there came a tremendous groan from the old darky, and with great fervor he ejaculated, "Do Lord gib us moro faith ("Youth's Companion.
