8 T6 let n man serve out a term is one tiling ;
te'dlstlnguish him beyond all ethers by re-
" appointing him is quite a different matter.
- It has net yet been established as a prin
ciple in this country, and we believe that it
is net even seriously maintained by the
professional reformers of the civil service,
that a man who happens te be in ellicei
te stay there. The president is just as free
new te pick the fittest man for postmas
ter of New Yerk, as if any ether man than
Mr. Pearson held the office.
He may reappoint him. We think he
will net, Hut if he does, it will be becanse
he is convinced that he is fitter than any
l Democrat in New Yerk for tlie place. Jle
' has net demonstrated this. Experience In
an office sometimes commends a man for
i retention; sometimes it affords geed rcas-
ens te put him out; sometimes it is no ar
gument one way or another.
We discredit the reported attitude of the
Independents en this mJttcr. If it lie as
stated, they are taking jhe very course te
defeat their purpose. The president has
shown that lie is net t.be bulldozed nor
bullied by members of Ws own paity ; he

OovKHNen McLanii'm nppolntment te be

complication regarding the oxccutlve bead

governor, or liU removal from the state or
ether disqualification, tlie legislature fills tlie
vacancy, If in scislen. If that hotly Is net In

arises vhethcr his gubernatorial jwwers de
net cxplre with his senatorial term. Cer
tainly he could net have become governor
without being a senator, and the point is a
orynlceono whether it is net nbsolntely
necessary Ter tlie senatorial nnd gubernato
rial pewers te be coexistent In him te make
lilm alegal chief oxecutlve. Te cut tlie uor uer
dian knot lie might summon the legislature
in extra session before his senatorial career
closes. This would be the simplest and best
plan, besides it would gire lilm nn oppor
tunity te be a candldate for re-election In his
district, a position 'which Ite could nel con
veniently take If he ronmlned governor, l'er
supposing him defeated in his senatorIalam senaterIalam senatorIalam
bltlen, while acting governor, would It be
his senatorial or gubernatorial entity that
had been rejected? Altogether there Is a
very wlde field e'r conjecture opened In Ihls
case by the imperfection of the Maryland
law.

Tin: curious anomaly Is presented in flreat
Hritain or an Kugllsh liaren, Ferdinand de
Rothschild, advising unemployed British
workmen te oinlgntte te the British posses
sions beyend the seas. Just nexess the I rish
sea Patnell Is doing all In lilsipewcr lore
strict emigration. It is an admission of
weakness when the mother country feels
called upon te tell her children that they
must seek a new demicile for tlie reason (hat
tliatthoyare crowded out of thelr old quar
ters. The suggestion te go te British posses
sions elsewhere will net strike very dcep, as
there Is no assurance that the saine over
crowded conditions may net again arise. It
is llttle wonder that se many Kngllsliineu
seek a refnge in this country from their over
crowded natlve soil. '

all this geed official material Is coining from;

AN interesting legal point has just been
decided by the Kentucky supreme court
with reference te the law's relations te con
tracts m.ide by telephone. As the same state
of affairs that brought about this suit is possi pessi possi
Ule in every cily or village wliore Ike telo tele telo
pheno is in general use, it may be oriuterest
te reproduce its essential fiu-U. A eeutrnct
was entered Inte by tclephoue by plaintiff'
and defendant living in mljeiuiug towns.
The plaintiff' had tlie oerater nt the olltce te
sieak for him. The defendant, it wus
alleged, made mi agreement for tlie
breach of which he was sued. Tite
defendant admitted holding tlie conver
sation by telephone, but contredlctod the
plaintiff as te what iiad been said. The
operator was calied us a witnossile testifyas
te what communications he hail sent and
received, but wlille he remembered that the
conversation had been held he had forgotten
its particulars. Tlie trial court then per
mitted the plaintiff' te preve by himself and
two ether persons who were present at the
tline what the operator said te defendant and
what be reported as coming from defeudant
Tiie court found for the plaintiff', holding
tliatthe operator was in law nn Interpreter,
whose communication might be proved by
himself, or by persons present who heard tlie
interpreter's remarks. A great deal of legal
acumen will be bxercised before the status of
the telopheno m contracts will be firmly
fixed. t
Murmena Differ Prem the Supreme Court.
Tlie general sentiment nmenu intelligent
Mormons regarding the decision of tlie
United states supreme court in tlie election
eases, in which tlie Utah commissioners are
respondents, Is ene of disappointment While
the test eatli prescribed by tlie commission la
declared invalid, the Mormons say the court
went out of its way te practically declare tlie
Kdtnundaact valid, when the nolnt.wes net
necessarily before it. The ruling iliat In
habitants of Ilia territories are under tlie sov sev
erlgn control of Congress is viewed with
amazement and regret, and is generally con
sidered as a position inore opposed te a Re
publican form of government than any ever
given since the nation was founded. The
Mormons foci that iliey are being unjustly
dealt with.

I am a painter. Ohe inernhig Id May, ISM, '
I wm seated in iny.Mudle atmy usual occu
pation, when a lady and'nentleman were aa
nb'.inced Mr. and Mrs. Kirk beck. My new1
visitors were alrangers te nie. They had
seen a portrait 1 had painted, and wished for
likenesses or themselves nnu tneir children.
The prlce I named did liet dcter them, and
they asked te leek around the studio te
select the style nnd slr.e they should prefer,
The inspection proving satisfactory, they
asked whelher I could paint tlie pictures nt
their heuse in the country, nnd there being
no difficulty en this point, an engagement
wasinnde for the following autumn, fnibject
te my writing te fix the tline when I might
lie nole te loave town for the purpose. This
being adjusted, the gentleman gave me his
card nnd they left, Shortly nfterwards, en
looking nt tlie card left by the strangers, I
was semewhat disappointed te find that
though it contained the names of Mr. and
Mrs. KIrkbeck thore was no address, I
tried te find it by looking at tlie court guide,
but it contained no such name, se I put tlie
card in my writing-desk nnd forget for n time
the entire transaction.
Autumn came, and with It a series of en
gagements I had made in tlie north of Eng
land. Towards the end of September, 1858, 1
was ene of a dinner party nt a country heuse
at thn confines el Yorkshire and Lincoln
shire The party was a numerous ene, and
as the meal nppreaclied its termination and
wasnoeui te buusiiie iiue ine ucsseru me
conversation became general. I should here
mention that mv lienrlnir Is dofectlve.at soine
times mere se than at ethors. nnd en this par
ticular evening I was extra deaf se much se
that the conversation only rcachodme In tlie
form of u continued din. At ene instant,
howevor, I heard n word distinctly pro
nounced, though It was uttered by n person
at a cnnsidomble dlstance from me, and that
word was KIrkbeck. In the business
of tlie Londen season 1 had forgotten
all nbnul the visitors of the spring
who had left their card without the ad
dress. Tlie word reaching ine under such
circumstances arrested my attention and
Immediately recalled the transaction te my
remembrance. On the first opportunity that
oliereti l asKcu n person wnem 1 was con
versing wltli if u family of the naine in ques
tion was resident In the nclghcorheod. 1 was
told in reply that a Mr. Kirkbcck lived at
A , at tlie further end ofthe county. The
next morning I wrote te this person, saying
that I believed he called at my studio In the
spring, and had made arrangement Willi ine
which I was prevented lullilllng by there
being neaddresi en his card; furthermore,
that 1 should shortly be hi his neighborhood
en my return from tlie north, but should I
be mistaken in addressing him, I begged lie
would net trouble himself te reply te my
note. I gave as my address the postefflce,
Yerk. On applying thore three cfavs nnor nner
wards I recoived nnote from from Mr. Kirk
bcck staling that he wan very glad he had
heard from me and that If 1 would call en
my return he would arrange about tlie pic
tures ; he also told ine te write a day bolore
I proposed coming. Unit he might net otlicr etlicr otlicr
wise engage himself. It Mas ultimately ar
ranged that I should go te Ills heuse the
succeeding Saturday, stay till Monday morn
ing, transact aflerwnrds -what matters I had
te attend te in Londen mid return in n fort
night te execute the commissions.
The day having arrived Ter my visit, di
rectly after breakfast I took my piace In the
miming train from Yeik te Londen. The
train would slop at Dencaster, and alter that
at Retford Junction, wliere I should have te
pet out In order te take the line through A ,
Thn day wnloeld, wet, foggy and every way
as disagrcabfe as I have ever knew n n day te
be In nn Knglish October. The carriage in
Mhich I was scaled had no ether occupant
than myself, but at Doncaster a lady get in.
My piace wns linci te the eugine anil next te
the deer. Ah that is considered the ladies'
scat, I offered it te her ; she, however, very
graciously declined it nnd took the corner
opposite, saying, In fa very agreable voice,
that she liked te feel the breeze en her check.
The next few minutes were occupied in loca
ting herself. Thore was the cloak te be
spread under her, the skirts of the dress te
be arranged, the gloves te be tightened,
niul such olher trilling arrangements of
pluuiage as ladles nre went te jnake before
nettling themselves comfortably at church
or clsewhere, tiie lat and most Important
being the placing hack ever her hat the
veil that concealed lier features. I could then
see that the lady was young, certainly net
inore than two or three and twenty j but
being moderately tall, rather robust In make
and decided in expression, she might have
been two or three years younger. I suppose
that her complexion would be termed a
medium one: her hair being of a bright
brown erntiburn, wlille her eyes nnd mther
decidedly marked oyebrows were nearly
black. Tlie color of her check was that pale
transparent hue that sets oil" tesuch ad imtage
large, oxpresslve oyes and uu equable, firm
expression of mouth. On the whole, the
ensemble was rather liandsome than beauti
ful, her expression having that agreeable
deptli and harmony nlxiut it that rendered
her face and features, though net strictly
regular, Infinitely moieiitlrnctlvo than iflliey
had been medelled upon the strictest rules of
symmetry.
It Is no small ndvautage en n wet day mid
a dull, long Journey te have mi agreeable
cominuien ; ene whecan cenverse nnd whose
conversation has sufficient suhstance In it te
make ene forget the length nnd the dreari
ness of the jeurney. In this respect I had
no deficiency te complain of, the lady being
decidedly mill ngieeably conversational.
When she had settled herself te her satisfac
tion she asked te le allowed te leek at my
Ilr.ulsli.iw, mid net being a proficient in that
difficult work, she requested my aid in as
certaining nt what time the train passed
through Retford ngain en its way back from
Londen te Yerk. The conversation turned
afterwards en general topics, and somewhat
te my surprise she led It into such particular
subjects as I might be supposed te be mere
especially familiar with j indeed. I could net
avoid remarking that her entire inauner,
while it was anything hut forward, was that
of ene who had either known me personally
or by report. Thcrewas in her manner a kind
of ceilfidcntlal rollance when she listened te
ine that is net usually accorded te a stranger,
and sometimes she nctually scorned te refer
te different circumstances with which I had
been connected In limes past. After about
three-quarters of nn hour's conversation the
train arrived at Retford, where I was te
change carriages. On my alighting and
wishing her geed morning, she made a
slight movement or the hand, ns if she
meant ine te shnke it, nnd en my doing se
she said, by way of ndleu : "I dare sav we
Bhall meet again j" te which f re
plied: ''I liope we shall all meet
again," nnd se parted, she going en
the line toward Londen and I through Lin
colnshire te A - The remainder ofthe
jeurney wns cold, wet nnd dreary. I missed
the ogreCable conversation and tried te sup
ply Its piace piace with a box I had
brought with me from Yerk nnd the Time
newspaper, which I iiad precurred nt Ret
ford. Hut the! most dlsngrecable iourney
comes te an end at last, and G:30 in the even
ing found me at the termination or mine. A
carriage was waiting for me at the station,
whero Mr. KIrkbeck wns also expected by
the same train, but as he did net appear ft
was concluded he would ceme by tlie next
halt an hour later; accordingly the carriage
drove away 'Altli myself only.
Tiie family bcinglrem home at the moment
and the dinner hour being 7, 1 went atonce
te my room te unpack and te dress. Having
completed these operations I descended te
the drawlng-roenu It probably wonted
seme time te tlie dinner hour, us the lamps
were lighted, but in their piace a large blaz
ing flre threw a Heed of light into every
corner of tlie room and inore especially ever
a lady who, dressed in deep block, was
standing by the clilmiioy-place warming n
very liandsome feet en the edge of tlie
fender. Her face being turned nway from
the deer by which 1 Iiad entered 1 did net nt
llrst see lier featurpf. On my ndvanelng Inte
the mlddle or the room, hewever, the feet
was Immediately withdrawn and she turned
round te accost me, when, te my profound
astonishment, I percived Unit it was nene
ether than my companion in tlie railway
carriage, She bctmyed no surprise at seeing
me. On tlie contrary, with ene et these
agreeable, Joyous expressions that marks the
plainest women appear beautiful, she accost
ed me with : " I safd we should meet again."
