A Washington man has recently re turned from an extensive tour of Eu-j rope, says the Washington Post. During his absence he wandered from , the beaten path of travel and explored J new ana undiscivereJ. land?, in one of these side excursions he landed in an obscure German town, and to his surprise met an old friend of whom ho had lost track of these eight jears. After exchanging greetings and taking in the melancholy and dejected air of the exiled one, the traveler asked: "What are you doing here?" I am the American consul at this confounded place, and have been for the last eight vears." "How is that? Didn't the Demo crats fire you out?" "They would hardly do that." said the consul with a sickly smile. The pay is S120 a year. Beer and rye bread are cheap, however, and I can" live on about that figure." "But tell me howou came to get here." "It "was this way. I had a friend who had an influential friend who knew secretary Blaina intimately. Through this channel I made appli cation for a place and was brought in contact with the secretary. This was in the early days of the Garfield ad ministration. Mr. Blaine gave me a cordial grasp of the hand and beamed one of those warm, magnetic smiles on me. " 'Ah yes, tf r. L . You are one of the Ii 's of Ohio, are you not? Yes, I knew your father very well, sir, in my younger days. You would like a consulship, perhaps?" "Visions oi gold lace and diplomatic receptions appeared before my eyes. I managed to say that was in the line of my ambitions. Then Mr. Blaine smiled again. " 'Well Mr. L , there are plenty of pegs and not many holes, but I think we will have to find a hole for ou.' "He found a hole and put me in it, signed the commission, audi have been in a hole ever since."

The members of the Wash, legisla ture, from the bunch grass country are trying to evolve a proper bill to promote the oyster industry on the Sound. One member who is some what familiar with long-horned steers and annual roundup suggested that each owner of a band of oysters should adopt a brand and be required to file a copy with the count auditor, and publish it in a newspaper Ho thought that tbo slitting of ears or then low-or upper cuts, or shoulder or hip brands on oysters, would solve the whole difficulty.
