Poslm.i.stvr-General Dick? inson lias been a member of the Presideut's official family only a fortnight, but that bib been long enough to give him a touch of the Vice-presiden? tial epidemic.

Toward the end of last November, finding that the work waa fur outrunning bis calculation ot lime and necessary expenditure, and was ulsi. entlanu'-r'ng the running expenses of the labor office in Wash lngtoa, Mr. Wri-rh: recalled the thirty-two agents appointed by him, ?nd is now an applicant before Congr-ss fir an uddilioual .-ippropriaUi'ii fal thu divorce business C'-Bgrras m gi t possibly have justified Ms ar? bitrary action in the (li.orv.oin of the regular funds of his office f. r this eccentric inquisition. but in ? iew of lie fact that the line of his in v. si i.tttion has been a perfectly useless one. lt ls doubtful whether it will do so. As he h.ts planned the investigation it is considered by ex itis in statistics to be a farce p ire md Bimple. It appears that he sent out into the field his agents armed with a schedule which, among other fact* called for the lo-jality and the yc.?r cf the oc i'in:i>'. disso.,.ti*u on a Urged ur f* rmal causo of divorce; whether absolute or partial: the num? ber of children, and tlie designation of ausburn! and wife of complainant.
