SIX : PAGES.
Nearly evory man who held ofllce
under Mr. Cleveland's last administration
ia with whetted appetite calling for
more pie under this, but the president
Faid to Congiessman Springer the other
day that he did not intend to reappoint
any of the old guard except where extraordinary
circumstances might cause a
departure from the rule. This is calculated
to throw a damper over the- patriotic
citizens so anxious to serve their
country, and create for the president a
bad feeling "in their midst." Mr. Olevo
land belieyes, like many of thoso who
have never tasted of the crumbs that fall
from the official table, that when there
there is not enough pie to go all around ,
it should be divided among as many as
possible. The men who had their in
ning before can afford to take an outing
now and see the other fellows enjoy
themselves. P. M. General Biesoll also
puts a fly in the dumpling by
that he will only in exceptional cases
appoint merchants to postofllces. Only
those who promise to devote their entire
time the servico will be appointed
and no office will go to help draw trade
to a store. This is going to be a thoroughly
business administration, divorced
entirely from the "demoralizing madness
for spoils." It will no doubt be the best
for the country, but it is not likely to
to prove profitable to the party.
A couple of Philadelphia inventors
claim to have discovered a method by
which oysters can bo shipped in the
shell to any point, no matter how remote,
and still bo as fresh and delicious
as when they left their home in the sea.
No chemical preparation is used. It is
well known that when an oyster uets
sick at the Btomach, as he generally will
when he takes a long ride on the train,
he opens his mouth and the liquid inside
his shell runs out. Then he begins to
pine and decay, just because, like a great
many people, ho didn't keep his mouth
shut. In order to pro vunt this suicide, a
small lead clamp is put on the shell nnd
the thing is done. Tho oyster is thus
prevented from any protest whatover,
nndoja consequence he is kept sound
and nice. A company with a million
dollars capital has taken hold of tho idea
and we shall see what wo shall see.
Tub Legislative Committee on capital
location is preparing for a Biege of wining
and dining. It has selected Louisville,
Lexinuton, Frankfort, Danville and
Bowling Green as possible sites and will
go to Lexington to-day to see what inducements
can be offered by tho enterprising
citizens there. Of course a big
dinner with champagne embellishments
will be one of them. The other towns
will do likewise. The committee will
wax strong and grow fat on the fulluess
of the land. The other towns will have
lost their time and money and Frank-
fort will contiuuo to be the capital of
Kentucky. It was ever thus, even since
the time when the mind of man runneth
not to tho contrary.
Miss Sallie Rkiim, a love lorn Louisville
school teacher, gave a negress, who
claimed to have the power of "making
matches," $35 for her assistance in securing
a reciprocation of her affection for a
man whom she "loved not wisely but
too well." The charm failed to work,
and now the poor woman, a wiser if not
a happier one, is suing for the return of
her hard earned money on the ground
that it was obtained under falBe pretense.
The court will likely, however,
decide that when a fool and her money
are eo soon parted, they had as well continue
to be divorced.
A Tennessee solon is the last to reach
after fame by introducing a bill to prohibit
thp manufacture, sale or use of
crinoline in that State. This business
has ceased to be funny. Why don't some
of tho humorists cause a law to
be enacted prohibiting tho use of Mother
Hubbard's? It would bo just as smart
and more reasonable. The latter takes
all of the beauty out of the female form
divine. Hoop skirts can be made to
add to the symmetry of some whose
forms are not ho divinely divine.
Impeachment proceedings have been
instituted in the Tennessee legislature
against Judge Du Bose, of tho Memphis
criminal court. Thero are 40 or 50 criminal
specifications in tho 12 counts
against him. He is charged with all manner
of corrupt practices and finally with
appointing unfit persons to tho oilice of
attorney general, notably J. Wesley Durham,
"a notorious crap shooter." The
charges have produced quite a
tion and they will bo thoroughly
lated.

The mania for tall buildings having
run into madness at Chicago, the city
council has ordained that none shall be
built hereafter over 10 stories high or 1150
feet. This is sad. The average
ouly chance to get near heaven
was in being elevated to the top of an IS
or 24 story building and that has been
rudely taken from him.
