It to happens occasionally tint there nppcrlalus to n public office nn import once fnr btyond what, to use a inerenn tile cprcsslon, Is its fuco value. Sucli lmK)rtancc judt now attaches to the Cht- ago postofllcc. It is a place -which should be filled by the President only after cartful conslcleiutlon. It is one which should, for political reasons, be taktn qui of the political nit. In Chicago were mode 6umo of the late. Administration') worst blunders. The appointments tltero were not good, tiic public business there was nyt well loneiuctcd and the jtostollho in pattlcu lar was bndly managed. Tiiere is n vast business carried on in Chicago in (.lamped quarters.- To manac this bus iness well is required n man of executive nbillty, force of character and enter prise, energy and ambition. No mere ion tine man, no oidlnary business man, can till the place well. Ho must meet owUmtly with new emergencies nnd hallsfy the most hurried and exacting community in the United States. A man of brains, one riulck-witlud, n man of villi, Is Ttqulicd In the Chicago jiostofttcc. Mi. Cleveland first appointed as post master of Chicago n most respectable and conscientious old man, who almost liroVo down under the strain and could not control the horde under his com mand) The service of the ofilco be came bad, and there was indignant pro test from the people, logardlosS of poli tics. Tills postmaster was succeeded by a wealthy, semi-military Lhtb min, who bus a lijtlo more force than his piodecessor, but not much more natural' fitness foi the place. The olllce (V not In good shape. Tho term of tho present incumbent expires within a few months. It will aid Republicanism In Chicago lo have a good postmaster thenv but to appoint the ordinary paitls-vn or the oullnaiy eminently rospccta'blQ citizen "with endorsements will not tecum tho md. 'i'liu iriun who gets tho place Miould be one, wllh the lJtfht uortof ftblilty and one who tnkes the olllco with the sole aim of making it tho best managed in the country. The nomina tlon of such a man for this particular place would bo a gieut thing from a political point of vlqw, as in every way, Tho Ch'cago public would bo impressed deeply with art cxpcilcnce they have not had of lato tho swift nnd elllclent handling of tho malls nnd tho avoidance of blunders in the postal nrvlt e RQiiendly " HOOTIl AND llAltKHTT. Mr Lawrence llarrctt, actor nnd managing partner for Mr. Edwin llooth, is unlike most managers, Inasmucli ns w)ien their stars aro taken sick they do all they can to have it understood that nothing serious Is the matter, but when Mr Barrett's star is suddenly stricken Mr. Barrett hastens to the front of tho Mage and announces with singular in klstauco that tho greatest actor speaking the English languago is hard hit and that he fears ho will never recover, In fact ho is Miro lio will not, nnd ho (Barrett) Is going to tako him oil to a lestlng place, and tho money will be re funded to tho audience, etc., etc, How Jir Banctt could lell the exact nature nnd dmatlon of Jir Jlooth'u illness is ijulto as lcuiarkablo ns why lie should bo so anxious to nib) i at once before tho pcoplo with his sorrowful information. There iH no rnso in theatrical history qui to like this of JAt. Barrett's, and us later icport.s in dlcato that Jlr.

She ttood, a statue carved in silk; Bhe moved, aud from the carving camo The outlines ot a fear revealed, Tho outliues of a hope concealed. The rich red lights fell en the queen And blushed a rosier red, because They dared to come iu touch of her; She walked upon, the desert sands; She rested 'ncath the pyramids; Close came she to the silent Sphinx; She stood between the sun and it In that thin drapery of hers, Bo llko the cloud apparel of tho moon, Which, lithe and lissome llmbed,wbcn.newt Bwings out across tho misty sky; Aud as tho ago-swept silent Sphinx Looked on the queen it placed Its hands Bcforolts ejes and blushed a deep, deep red And this is why tho sun burnt Sphinx Is old red sandstone to this day.

Tho hero of this exploit whs Itobcrt II, llandolph, a dis missed naal olllccr, mid tho pullce was 1'rcrldrnt Andrew Jackson. In Ma), 163.1, President Jackson and bis tulto li It Washington on tho good steamer, "Sjdncj," Captain James (luy on tho quarter-deck, bound tor l'rcdcrlcksburg, Va., where tho President was to lay tho corner stone of the monument (u tho mother of Washington, AMirn the boat stopped at Alexandria, so the legend runneth, nnd while the 1'rcM dctit was seated lu tho cabin, a gcntlo manly-looking fellow strode down tho cabin and pamed before tho President ft moment while bo tugged at the glove on his light hand which seemed hard to get off. 'Ob, never mind the glove, sir," said tho President, supposing the joung fellow wished merely to shake hands with him. Hut the young fellow did mind tho glovo lid tugged at it until It camo off, when, to the utter amazement of those standing nrouitd, he made a vicious tweak at the President's rather prominent nose. Ho was Immediately seized and hustled about, white thu President sprang to bis feet and reached for his cane. Tho bj slanders Interfered aud kept them apart, notwithstanding tho doughty President's attempts to get at his assailant, Randolph escaped from tho boat lu tho confusion which followed and was ncicr punished, but the President swore he would lick him if ho cer caught him. llandolph had been rourt-marlialo.1 lu the imy, and the President having authorized his dismissal, ho wanted revcugc. . Ecr Ssturdaj cenlnga number of In tellectual men and women assemble lua hall up on Fourteenth street and discuss theories for tbo amelioration ot mankind. Edward llcllumy's "Looking Backward" has been tho spur that has caused this un wonted Interest among men and women wfio aro"not mere social philosophers and dreamers ot a Utopian civilization, but persons who hope to aid In a practical re construction of tlio Industrial system ot the country. No book in many years has cre ated such a profound sensation among tho thinking dosses as "Looking Backward." Nationalist clubs, as they aro styled, liavo been orgaulzcd lu Now York and other Eastern cities, their fundamental motive being to promulgate the theories set forth in this work. But while thoy aro formed to spread the thcoiy of tho nationalization ot industries the clubs do not hesitate to discuss all theories which have' as their al m the amelioration of humanity. One ot the standing committees Is the committee on tuforniatlon, and ii is thn duty of tbfscommittco to keep the club in formed of all social movements and tjiclr progress. The Nationalists- ljavo been called Communists, but they are tlio oppo site of that as the term Is generally applied. According to the Nationalist theory tho members of the future nation are to own nothing but their fewpersonal effects, tho State ts to own all and control all. It can bo readily seen that In a forum whore all toelali6tlc theories are admitted some lively discussions will result- But everything Is conducted with well-bred courtesy, and It members differ lu their views they know that all are aiming at tho same end, aud iu a common search for truth they bury acri monious strife. . Few appolptments yet made by President Ilarrlsou are likely to result more .satisfac torily than that of Hon. George II, Shields of Missouri as Assistant Attornoy-Oeneral, Mr. Shields In 1873 was a member of the Missouri Legislature, and even then tbo conscientious young lawyer was accepted as a legal authority by both' parties, and was practically tho Republican leader, Therq are few attorneys in tho country who outrank him In solid acquirements. Later Mr. Shields became the. law partner of John II. Henderson, and soon won a place In tho first rank of the St, LouIb bar. Of recent years he has liceualono In his profession. Mr. Shields personally Is a man of striking appearance. He has the curling gray balr and calm, qnlct face of General Noble, but Is taller, and has a little mora or the, air ot the student ot legal problems, lio is a man of tho typo of whom It may be ex pected that he will yet reach the Supreme Bench, . . The proposed University Club, to be com posed of college graduatos living In Wash ington,.has"not been abandoned, as might be thought JromtbQ silence on, (lie subject since the Idea was suggostod, somo wiioks ago. The committee appointed at the an nual meeting of the Cornell Alumni Asso ciation to canvass tho matter among the graduates ot other. Institutions, has been quietly engaged. In pursuing their Investi gation, Everywhere tho suggestion has been warmly approved. Several B'wero found'whosald that they had long thought of such nn organization, and hoped that stens would be taken to form It, A mem ber of the exocutlve committee of the Princeton Alumni Association said to one of the committee.' "I shall bring the mat ter up at our annual banquet for the pur pose of getting an expression ot opinion. Personally, J shall be glad to co-operato with j ou In any way possible, as It has long been a favorlt project of miue.'1 Could the rolls ot tho alumni associations of Washington be combined In a club it would Include some, of the most famous names In tho country. Such a club would rank in the culture and renqwu of its mom bcra with any association of. equal elza In tho country. Tho proposed club Is not de signed to be an elaborate or costly affair, or in any scuea a rival ot existing saclat or literary prgaulzatlous. Its prlmo object will be to provide a hoa'dqiiarters whoio college men can meet ou common ground and revive recollections ot old tlmos. Hallway officials fall Into a happy-go-lucky stvletf doing their duties some times. An iustanco happened the other night out at thu Boundary station ot the Baltimoro and Ohio Itallroad, Tbo train leaving at 10 05 lu tho evening Is announced to stop at tho station for tho couveulcneo of patrons living In tho northern part ot tho city, Itelytiig upon this promise, a traveler, bound for one ot tho suburban settlements which tho Baltimoro ami Ohio bos done so much to" build up, took tho Ecklngton Hallway cars for tho Boundary station. Arrived there he found everything closed up no lights, no flagmau, no sta tion master, no watchman, even to warn carriages of approaching trains. Tho suburban resident, with a touching confi dence that, everything would bo all right, liovocr, waited for the tralu. Presently the headlight of tho locomotive appeared lu tho distance, the rumble ot tho wheels grew louder, tho train came Into View, it uearcd the station uud passed by, and the lone traveler was forced to return to tho city, Tho following day he Inter viewed the station agent, "Why didn't you flag the tralu J" that functionary Inquired, with the coolest ot sang-froid. "How In tbo name of all that's tinmen tlonablecbuldl Hag the train when there was nothing to flag It with l" "Why," ho rt-turped, "you might nave lighted a newspaper and waved It in tho air, That vronld have stopped, 'em." JS&i-U A CLOSE CALL. A certain well knowu Lieutenant ot this city went over to New York rcccutly, nnd, although ho Is a man ot the world and pretty well acquainted with tho doWocs commonly cmplojcd to beguile tho unwary straugci, ho fell Into tho hands of the "bunco" men. Ills experience shows how even tbo sophisticated may be taken off their guard. Ho had Just loft tho ferry at Desbrosses street, and was hurrying up to tbo elevated roadstntlon, wheu a man came up and accosted him with great cordiality. "Why, how are jou, Mr. Brown," he ex claimed, "when did you get lu ?" "Excuse me," tho Lieutenant returned, "my name Is not Brown, I'm Lieutenant I liidhohn from Washington." "Oil, excuse inc. I thought you were my old friend Brown from Elmlra. It's n won dctful resemblance," aud tho sharp, with mauy apologies, turned away. Nut much further up the street tho Lieu tenant found himself groctcd by another man who called his name and wanted to know bow things were In Washington, The Lieutenant didn't know the man from Adam, but presumed that it was some ono ho had met here, and as ho Is naturally very polite ho didn't Intlmato his Ignorance. lie thcreforo responded civilly and ended by accepting an Invitation to dine with the stranger. "Inmical glad I met someone from Washington. Ono likes to seo somo one from one's old home. You remember my placolbcrct Well, things wero dull and I had to sell out and come over to Now York. I have a cry falrbURlucs here. Come up to my hotel nnd take dluncr n Ith me. (lad, lam glad I mot j on." As tV.o Lieutenant did not particularly caie which hotel he went to, he decided to go with the other, and they tramped away together. Presently the Lieutenant's friend said that he wished to stop at his oTico on tho way up, and asked tho Lieutenant to accompany him. Thoy entered n dlsrcpu-table-looking place In Elizabeth street, which struck tho Lieutenant as rather pe culiar for a man who was doing a good business, but no suspicion entered his mind. Tho other bustled around, gave, numerous orders to tho ofilco boy and asked as many questions, until at length a tall, powerful-looking man entered tho ofilco. Ho was greeted cordially by the pro prietor, who inquired, "What luck!" "Good," returned the new-comer. "I'so sold all my cattle, and am going home to night. A clean three thousand!" Ho pulled out a wad of bills and flung It down on tho counter. The Lieutenant lemarkpd that It was rather dangerous to be carrying so much money around when thcro wero sharpers aud bunco men lying around everywhere, i "Oh, I guess I can look out. By the way, some fellows down the street did win a little of the pile. They were ptaylng some sort ot a game with cards, and beforo I dropped I lost considerable. Howovcr, I let 'cm havo it, one right and two left, aud got away. I got three cards, though. The game was to pick out a certain card out of these three- Here, I. take 'cm this way and lay 'cm on the table. Now, I bet you fifty dollars you can't pick It out." "Ob, I don't want to bet," the Lieuten ant replied. "Oh, jou haven't tho money." "Yes, I bavo; plenty of It1 (the, sharpers exchanged glances), "but I don't care to bet." "Well, I'll bet," said tho proprietor, and be planked down fifty dollars. He tried It and lost. He tried Ii several times and lost. The Lieutenant became interested. "Say, I'll go you," he cried, Tho dealer shuffled the cords, apparently. In such an awkward way that the Lieutenant bad ni doubtwhtch was his card when they were laid. This very awkwardness aroused ill bis suspicion. Ho saw ibe game. It was Intended that he should win. Thoy meant to draw him ou. Tho wad of money was counterfeit. The cattle men and the pro prietor were confederates, no was being buncoed. " "Well, which one do you pick." "Which one do I pick? you d scoundrel) this is the one I pick," and he pulled his pistol, and, covering the two, backed to the door, and, before tho astontshol gamb lers recovered, lie had reached, itha street and was making lively tracks from the place. He related his experience to the first policeman, 'who assured, him that be had bad-a narrow escape. "Yes," concluded the lieutonant, at he related the story, "I believe those men would base murdered me beforo they'd let me go with my pile." j A Literary Discovery. New York Evening Bun ) While, Colonel Elijah', Halford. was gloom ily spelling out an Indignant letter from an Indiana politician yesterday, an elderly man, whose lofty front and glittering eye marked him as In some way different from the common bord, appeared at the door ot the secretary's olllce.' Nimbly eluding the bayonets of the file ot' soldiers on guard at the entrance, he slipped through into the anteioom of royalty jind ?tood In tho prcs ence'of the careworn political backstop.

There are fifty two of them, my dear sir, each signed ' Q, n, IV An English translation Is appended with out slguatuie,'' "You amaze me," said Elijah, jawnlug. "I thought I should," said tho elderly man. "The bctoII ts marked 'Lib.

"Never mind the name, youncman," said the stranger, with rising dignity. "Just hand this to President Harrison. I'll drop iu to-morrow, perhaps, to leurn what ho sae.

Editor Cntlc: Noticing In your valuable piper of tho lit Instant reference to Mr. L. M. Saunders lu connection with the Commlssloncrshlp tor the District, I desire to say that It would bo difficult to find (he embodiment ot a greater number of essential qualities aud qualifica tions for so responsible a position than those enjoyed by the gentleman referred to. Iho best evidence of Mr. Saunders' fitness for the position consist In the fact that he lias attracted the attention of tho best classes of citizens and property-holders ot tho Dis trict, Irrcspcrttvo of political bias. That he has the courage of his convic tions, and will endeavor to do the right re gardless of personal Interest or public opinion, Is doubted by none. Mr. Saunders Is free from entangling alliances with rings and Jobbers, notwithstanding his large real cstato Interests In the city. With such qualifications It Is not surprising that the office Seeks the man, rather than tho man the office. Let us have him; he wllMio an honor to the District. IUuix. tdi: run now waves.

Williams, tho Third Auditor of the Treasury, td a CniTio rororter yesterday, "the tricks ot tho pro fession 'are no more pronounced now tLan In the tbo good old days of tho Republic, when the public patronage to be- dispersed was not'one-quarter ot Its present magni tude.'1 "I remember a cose of duplicity which emenated from a prominent Bcnator back in tho winter of '49 aud 'Wr, which Illus trates the virtue ot public, men ,at that time. I was chief clerk ot tho Appoint ment Office of the Fostoffice Department that winter, and one day, when in tho olllce ot the Vostmaster-Oeneral, the Hon, Jacob Cellamer Of Vermont, an applicant for pe tition, Vfas admitted and .presented, the" Ppstmastcr-Ooneral with twp letters from 8f nator Seward ot New York.

Tho sealed letter, marked private, also irom the New York. Senator, requesting the I. 'M. G. not td make tha ap pointment, notwithstanding his Jettar of recommendation." "Aftor reading both letters the P.M. 0. asked the applicant if Senator Seward sent any verbal message. Ho replied,' Not thai when the, Bcnator gave Wm the. letter ot recommendation he asked It he was going drectly to f b Postofllcc Department, and being answered In ttlio affirmative he "re quested him to wait a motncnt,'aud then wrote and handed blm a private letter to hand to the Postmaster-General. "Of course the.ofllce-secker didn't know the purport of the private note, and Mr, Collamer didn't Inform blm, but told him to call next day and he would let blm know the result of his application, "As soon as the party withdrew, the P.

It Is not certain that Washington fur nishes more than her shafo of tho candi dates for histrionic honors, but It seems as if we heard moro of our boys and girls on tho stage than ot thoso from any other olio city. Washington can claim Mrs. Potter as her product, for It was hero that sho madu her great hit with "Osier Joe," which caused her to wako up uot tho uoxt day, but as soon asTucCiilTia published tho sensation created to find herself famous, iter namo becamo a household word, and It was nn easy mattnr then to so ruro an audience. Of all our contributions to tho stago Mrs. Totter has perhaps been tho most prominent. But thcro havo been many who have been trained In tho dramatic clubs of tha Capital and In ami tour entertainments, who havo gone on the stage and won credit for faithful and con scientious work. For a long time the Barrett Club was a nursery for budding talent. But that or ganization has ceased to exist. Tho Lyceum Dramatic Club presents the latost aspirant to dramatic honors. Miss Alice Wakefield basbrcu offered the position of leading lady lu tho "Emigrants" Company, which recently filled a satisfactory engagement In this city. If personal attractions count for anything on the stage, Miss Wakefield will sccuro n high position. She Is a blonde of the purest type, with beautiful eyes ot brown and face as fair as nn infants, no which dwells a pluk Hush liko the tint ot the ripening peach. But sho bos al ready demonstrated considerable ability lu her chosen profession, is is Indicated by the position which Mr. Baker has asked her to fill. how iu: kni:w. Colonel Jay F. Durham, a journalist with a big J, as he Is familiarly known, Is un doubtedly a two-hoss team, with a spotted dog under tho wagon, as an attcr-tllnner speaker, but If he doesn't kill off somo of his traduccrs the reputation be has won will be wrecked. Yesterday Colonel Mus icy and Colonel I.) man were talking In front of the New York Sun office. "By the why," said Mussoy, "did you hear Jay Durham mako that great speech 'at the Gridiron Club Saturday night ? " "No, I'm sorry to say 1 didn't." "Well, It was a dandy. You ought to have beard him. Ho seemed Inspired with the genius ot oratory, and gems of thought in settings of gqld and silver fell fifeui jilsllps llko Bkowers of Irrldcsccnt meteors from the cerulean canopy ot tbo star spangled firmament. At times tho mirth ot Momus sparkled and shono In his words, aud tbcu tho pathos of a poem swept In a tearful tralu through bts rbjthmic.uUerancea. Anon the eloquence ot a Burke, a Webster or a Clay rolled up ward In the grandest cadences of tho human tongue, and the listener sat bound as by a spell beneath the mystic measures ot his wondrous periods." "Great Ctesar," exclaimed Lyman, "it must havo been superb; but I .thought you were out of town.tbat night." So I was." "Well, howtho deuco did you know what kind Of a speech It was?" asked L) mau, suspiciously. "Jay told me himself In thoso very words, that's how," responded Mussey with su preme confidence In Durham's Judgment, and Lyman hung his harp on the willows and wept. Yet verily, brethren, it's a harmless tra duction llko this that ruins many aris ing 'joiing orator, and Colonel Durham duesu't blow his own horn at all be drinks It. A piytKKENCi: OF VIEW.
