The figure of City Records bears no more resemblance to Dave Ferguson, the keeper of those val- unble documents, than it does to Apollo Belvidere. Out with the monstrosity and give us Dave's gilded dome of thought with- out wopeey embellishments! The buxom lady who typifies Accounts is a poor sub- stitute for Fosdick the Ferret. Let us have the latter and nothing less! Then the ledy with the bowl dubbed “Elections” should be replaced with s replica of the shapely figure of Charles Francie Mur- phy. Estimate and Apportionment is a bewhiskered gent of no spe- cial character. Mitchel and Prendergast as shapely twins would do much better. And as for Water Supply, the female who holds the Amphora upside down, thereby spilling the contents, ought certainly to be replaced by the wise department head who drew all of the water out of the main reservoirs and thereby brought on a water famine. Put him in the niche! | ep MR. TAFT’S CAMPAIGN. FTER the disastrous battle of Fredericks- burg, in which Gen. A. E. Burnside was ament fs « 4 signally defeated, the sardonic Orpheus C. Kerr paraphrased the commander’s report A to the War Office about as follows: “It was| a military necessity either to attack or| retreat. I have done both!” Mr. Taft) has got himself into the same position with his speechifying. Gen. Burnside’s| fame to-day is preserved only by his whis- hers, the imitation of which is still a moderately popular form of facial adornment. op THE GARAGE OF LOVE. T is not at Newport, as might reasonably have been expected, but at Washington, D.C., that a young lady of social prominence has caused a flutter by turning a lawn pa- vilion, supposed to be “a Greek temple dedi- | cated to Love,” into a garage for her auto- mobile. This has been called desecration, but it is hard to understand why. Ac- cording to the customs of our time, the garage is right where Cupid lives. Auto- mobile elopements are so common as to have almost entirely lost their news value. In the courts of Venue the chauffeur nowadays seems to monopolize the favor formerly accorded to Mars. Such, at any rate, is the natural interpretation one must give to the innumerable impromptu matrimonial romances that have fol- lowed in the wake of Newport's celebrated case of the past summer. “Why the Chauffeur?” was the heading of a magazine round-up of a dozen or more of these events, that we were reading only a Sunday or two ggo. They are still debating that question. Meanwhile, the fact is obvious that marriage a la motor-car is in vogue, and the up-to-date Young Lochinvar comes out of the West in a 50 h. p. machine rather than mounted upon the old-fashioned steed that carried the hero of the Scottish ballad. So the young lady of Sheridan Circle, Wash- ington, cannot fairly be accused of a technical impropriety in housing her automobile in the Temple of Love. on “INCONSEQUENTIAL REMARKS.” T a New York chapter meeting of the Amer- ican Institute of Banking, Wednesday even- on one another's names and calling atten- tion to the need of courtesy among bank | ' employees, United States Distriet-Attorney | Henry A. Wise made “a few inconsequen- tial remarks” and really said something. He said that, as the Federal prosecutor in criminal proceedings in this section, he had noticed that the in vestigations of crac comes from above and not from below—that there are more bank presidents, cashiers and other high officers charged with crimes in relation to the banks than the lesser employees, And when these fesser employees do their honest duty under exceptionally trying cir cumstances, what do they get for it? It is Mr. Wise’s answer to ahis query that rouses interest: “They ought to he promoted, rather than punished. But let me tell you the latter standard wus followed in the case of the Bank of North America. Io you know that of the employees who testi ed in the Morse case not one is employed to-day in any of the banks of this city?” Certainly it is a surprise, and a shame, that these men who hon- eatly told the Grand Jury what they knew and had a right to know the very men whom bank presidents ought to be seeking out for positions of hihor trust—are blacklisted and cut off from pur- suing the carcer hich their character and training have specially IDEAL.

In the centre was piled a huge mass of gold dust, a fortune for which many ® man would have risked life. Several Spanish adventurers were squabbling violently over the task of dividing the treasure. AS they wrangled the Indian Chief's eldest son sprang forward, kicked the heap of gold to pleces and exclaimed tn disgust: “Why do you white men quarrel like bables over a trifle like this? If | you have the courage to follow me westward through the wilderness I can load you to an ocean whose coasts are full of gold for the digging.” The young Indian did not make good his promise, but the anecdote went all over the civilized world and drew men to America by the thou sands.

The big re- sults they gained were accidental, and to their minds these results were only sie issues of the gold hunt.
