A NEW GOVERNMENT CLERK, A Word for the Old Clerk. To the Editor of The Etening-Star: During the somewhat varied vicissitudes through which the movement for retire- ment of clerks has been merrily capering I have been an intereste but silent ob- server. When The Evening Star first brought to light the fact’that a benevolent Mr. C, had apparently become imterested in the fortunes of government clerks, it nearly took my breath, Can such things be, and overcome us like @ summer's cloud, without our special wonder?” Had the gentlemarfs' golicitude been re- ported in favor of those splendid gentle- men who are provided by Uncle Samuel, at his expense, with the necessary equipment for public service, beth in education and sustenance, those dear creatures who are bedecked with glittering gewgaws of un- earned glory, whose presence is essential as a component part of that sweet cream of society into which the congressional fly so often unwarily settles, und is after- ward cajoled and utilized, his kindness would have been regarded as a matter of course. Bur that a man of large parts should espouse the cause of the despised— the untinseled and buttonless wayfarer, who must bring his own tools to the shop, and get out, without ceremony, when some pedantic chief pronounces him ‘no good,” was too much for clerical credulity. And now, alas for those who wept with delight, melted with gratitude, and yearn- ed for the benefactor's photcgraph, ‘twas all a dream, and the shadow of disappoint- ment has fallen upon them. It is an- nounced that the gentleman doesn’t care a tinker’s tack for the clerk, and that his strong arm is only being made bare to pro- tect his suffering country from the blight of “palsted eld.”” As misery likes company, let us draw to move alone, when there are new carpe:s to be put down ard new curtains to put up and you not round to help.” “You must hire a man, my love.” “But the expers. “Oh, hang the expense! You don't sup- pese I'm going to let you do it yourse not much! I'd rather pay double than have you killed with werry! Now I must pack and be, off.” Wife (next}morniny What luck!

I know the little woman will ‘miss me, and grieve over my absence, | but I'll buy her a nice present and make it all right. Great thought, that telegram!” = -2ee Bernhardt and Duse Compared. Tomasso Salvini has been telling an American lady in Florence what he thinks about the rival claims of Bernhardt and Duse; he says that Duse has no voice, no toilets and no knowledge of stage effects, but that she is naturally greater than Sara, but that nevertheless the Frenchwoman is undoubtedly far and away the greatest histrionic artist now before the public, Withal he says that Sara is always Sara, but that she makes her parts fit her per- scnality with perfect art. Madame Duse takes a great interest in pictures and was seen great deal about New York studios when she was here; not only the rich, famous ones, but where the unknown people of talent are struggling. 20s.
