OFFENSIVE PARTISANS.
A Conversation ShowiDg the Administra
tion's View of Them.
At the request of a certain member
of congress from one of the New En
gland states, Mr. Wm. H. Barnum re
cently consented to make with him a
call upon tho first assistant postmaster-general,
Mr. Hay. The object of
tbe visit was to secure the appoint
ment of several long-trained Demo
crats as postmasters in a number of
the postoflices in tbo state of the con
gressman. Mr. Hay received the chairman of
the Democratic national committee
and tbe member of congress witb tbe
same courtesy and consideration that
bo was accustomed to bestow upon
even tbo most bumble citizen. Tbo
following conversation took place:
"Mr. , who represents tbe
district in congress," said Mr. Bar
num, "has called with me in reference
to certain appointments that come
within your office. The district is a
close one. Mr. is personally ac
quainted with many of the best men
in it, and you probably would be
glad to hear his recommendations, as
you must be entirely ignorant of the
people there."
"Xo postmaster will bo removed
except for offensive partisanship,"
said Mr. Hay.
"What, may I ask, constitutes of
fensive partisanship?" inquired the
conirretsman.
"You should know what au of
fensive partisan is," Mr. Hay replied.
"Attending caucuses, conventions,
serving as chairman of important
committees, would bo so regarded ?'
suggested tbe congressmau.
"Undoubtedly."
'But the postmaster at A has
done none of these things."
"Is ho a Republican?"
"Yes."
'Is he unfaithful to his duties?"
"Xo."
"Is ho a had mau?"
"Xo, he's a mighty good fellow; but
he's a Republican, and he expects to
go."
"If you will mako written state
ment that he is unfaithful, incom
petent, or has been an offensive parti
san, I will remove him."
"1711 be hanged if I will. Ho's a
Republican; that's enough isn't it?"
"Xo; it is not enough."
"Does not the fact that a man is a
Republican constitute an offensive
partisan:" asked Mr. Barnum.
-Must we make it a personal matter,
ana accuse a man ot criminality;
"I will not make any chaugo with
out charges:"
Here Mr. Barnum became a little
annoyed. "Wo will see, sir, whether
this man is not removed," aud the
chairman of the National committee
and the congressman sought Mr.
Vilas.
"Is it necessary?" Mr. Barnum
asked of tho postmaster-general,
"that we should bring an indictment
against an office-holder before we can
secure a change?"
"If you will put it m writing that
the man is an offensive partisan, I
will remove him."
"I will put it in writing that he is
a Republican, and therefore an offen
sive partisan," said Mr. Barnum.
Tho postmaster-general was, ot
course, anxious to meet the wishes
of tho man to whom above all others
he is indebted for his extraordinary
aud sudden political advancement.
Very well. That will do, Mr. Bar
num." When the accusation had been put
in writing, Mr. Vilas said to Mr. Bar
num: "Your mau will bo appointed; but
if it should turn out that we you
and I have been deceived, and that
the present incumbent is not an of
fensive partisan, and tbe man yon
desire to bo appointed is au inoffen
sive partisan, then I will turn tho
new postmaster out and put tho
old one back again. Good-morning."
"Tell me," said tho Congressman,
who a few days ago told this story,
"that the new administration isn't in
love with Eaton's civil service reform!
It is; and I was so well assured ;of it
that I did not offer a single other
application. I made up my mind
that congressmen were a sort of ;to-bo-tolerated
nuisance, and so I've come
home. Well, there's going to be
funny times. I believe congress sits
next winter." JV. Y. Sun.
The great auction sale of national
lands in the Lima and Nequen terri
tory, comprising 500 square leagues,
took place at Buenos Ayres on tho
1st of July. Buyers from all parts
of the world were present. There
was a keen competition, and the lots
were rapidly disposed of at prices
ranging from two thousand to six
thousand national dollars per league.
This is regarded as somewhat re
markable, tho territory in question
being situated at tho foot of the An
des, and about nine hundred miles
from Buenos Ayres.
A dispatch from Talladega, Ala.,
says the three children of J. H. Mc
Gowan saw him kill and dress a pig
for a barbecue last Friday, and tho
next day the two elder children
killed the youngest, and were in tho
act of dressing tho body when their
mother discovered them.
The amount of land in Scotland
devoted to deer raising is estimated
at about two million acres. On this
land abont 4,650 stags and an equal
number of hinds are shot each year.

Then father took the Bible down,
And in his clear, old-fashioned hand
Upon its record pages brown
Ho wrote tbe name as it should stand.
But protest catuo from all the rest
At giving such n little fairy,
Tbe dearest, sweetest and the best,
That antiquated name to carry.
The aunts and second cousins cry:
UA nnmn sn worn nml nrclinnrv
Could not be found if one should try.
As that same appellation, ' Mary.'""
And o'er and o'er again they laud
Her yellow curls, ber baby grace;
" Oh, call ber ' Ethelind,' or ' Maud"
Or ' Christine,' for her angel face."
'But timo will chaugo this golden fleece
To match the eyes in dusky splendor;
Far better name her ' Beatrice,'
Or Imogen,' serene and tender.
"Oh, name tbe child for Aunt Louisa,
For she, good soul, is well to do;
The compliment is sure to please her,
And we can caHltho darling Lou.'
Host prudent counsel, all too late!
S'Twixt Malacbitand Matthew's pages

The American Dairyman says:
Let a drop of fresh milk fall into a
glass of pure water. If the milk
properly disseminates itself through
the water, the cow that yielded that
milk is not with calf; hut if it sinks
to the bottom and does not produce
but little of tho milky cloud, tho cow
is pregnant Tho specific gravity
and vfssidity of the albuminous milk
being heavier than water, thus re
tains tho drop of milk and causes it
to sink. "Wo advise dairymen to
make a note of this ;md give it a test.
If reliable the iuformatiou may be of
great value to them.
"When the chief engineer of the Ill
inois Central railroad was laying out
tho line, aud wanted a melliflious
name for a station, he would shufile
a pack of cards, each inscribed with
a letter, uutil a satisfactory combina
tion suggested itself as Tolono,
Gnarga, Aledo, Diona, Nakoma aud
so on.
"Why is it," th- Boston Trnn
scrijit wants to know, "that nearly
every steamboat of tbo sort that is
employed for inland, harbor, or short
coastwise service is painted white,
while black is tbe fashion for steam
ers that venture out into deep wa
ter?" Some of tho greatest events in his
tory owe their origin to trivial mat
ters. Tho discovery of Red Star
Cough Cnre maj be looked upon as a
simple thing, but it will soou prove to
beablessiug to tho wholo civilized
world.
There is a federal law which pro
hibits tbe importation of foreign la

justified this year in bringing over
enough Mexicans to pick her cotton
crop.
Largo numbers of men are heading
