SION in a PAPERS
A most luteresling and instructive
eorrespwideneb in which the presi
dent expresses some sound opinions
with characteristic emphasis, has
just got into the nenspapers. A
short time ago a vacancy was to be
filled in one of the Federal courts in
ihe West, and one of the applicants
for the place had such strong indorse
ment from the most influential peo
ple of the district, including two
Judges of the State SupremeCoort and
oilier high dignitaries, that ihc Pres
ident, after careful consideration,
concluded that he must be the best
man, ami accordingly appointed him.
Xot long after he received a letter
from one of the persons who had
signed the application, saying that
the community had read of Ihe ap
pointment “with astonishment and
regret, if not pain.” and that •‘none
wore more astonished than those who
had signed Ids petition.” The writer
regretted to sav that ho was one of
these, hut lie had‘‘signed it thinking
there was no chance for its reaching
even a consideration ” “Not a man
whose name is on it.” lie continues,
i “had the remotest idea that his ap
pointment was possible. Not one
would have appointed liiin if he had
had the appointing power. He is not
fliiailfied morally nor professionally.”
In fact, lie wa- so unfit that they
look for granted that the President
would find it out in some way and so
them could he no harm in their sign
ing Ids recommendation.
As migh t be expected, the President
declines lo have the responsibility
thus thrust upon him. and he speaks
his mind with an emphasis that can
©illy he described as read hot. Here
i what he writes:
I have r. ad four letter of th# 24th ultimo
tritli amarement and indigna'tion. Thrro is
but one mitigation to I Ito porhdj which roar
letter disclose, and that ia found in the fact
that you coufoaa your shara in t‘. 1 don’t
know whether you art a democrat or not,
but if you are the crime whicli you confess
is the more unpardonable. The Idea that
this adminutration, pledged to give the
people better government and better officers
and engaged in a oam * o-hand fight with the
had elements of both parties, should be be
trayed by those who ought to be worthy of
implicit true!,ia atrocious and auch treainn
to the people and to the party ought to be
punished by impriaonment.
Your cottfcsaion tomes too late to he o
immediate use to Ihc pnWic eerriee and 1
eanonly say that while this is not tbo firat
tiuie I bare been deceived attd milled by
lying asd treacherous represents I iufis, yoa
are ihe first one who has an frankly owned
hia grievous fault. If any comfort ia to he
extracted from this assurance you are wel
come to it.
No fitc-stmile is required to prove
the authenticity of this letter, dt
lias the marks of (Jrover Cleveland
all over it. and the force of it is the
greater becauso it 1* all true. Men
who profess to believe in individual
responsibility and who would not
willingly tell a lie or do a pnblfe
wrong will sign petitions for any
thing and everything, simply because
• hey are too indolent or timid to re
fuse, they are very much surprised
when they find themselves taken at
tlielr word.
This is one of the greatest difficulties
with which a conscientious officer
has to contend. It is impossible for
t lie President to know personally
every man in the United States. Hu
must accept Ihe apparent judgment
of tho* community in which a man
lives. And yot.whenhc has been will
fully deceived, he is held accountable.
No wonder swell tilings excite the
President's anger. His letter ought
to be read and taken to heart by
everjtman who is iu the habit of re
commending until men to office or
signing hia name to anything that be
does not know to he right and true.
DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.
A liotoHmi* New York diamond
thief went to tendon and purchased
iu Hatten Garden a magnificent stone
weighing about l-' a karats. He paid
|7,OOOorts,oOt>for it. He then went to
Earls and put the stone in the hands
of the best maker of paste goods and
ordered thirty fac-simile* of it. He
then Imd the whole of them mounted
in rings of eiact‘v the same designs.
In London arc many large pawnbro
kers who lend sums of *5,000 and up
ward for short terms —fourteen days
or so—at >£ or \ per cent. • He left
the original ring with each of them in
turn, took it out again and repledgcd
it two or three times until they were
well acquainted with him and the
gout One Saturday, which is their
busy day, ho rushed around to the
whole collection and left oue of the
imitations for sums ranging from
*4,000t0 *O,OOO. Ho placed twenty
eight in all. They possibly did not
examine them closely, as he was so
well-known and hia appearance and
manuers were calculated to ward oil'
suspicion. The shrewdest pawnbro
kers were taken ia by this schemer.
TWENTY-TOOK O’CLOCK.
Application of tha New Tims Notation to
Clocks and Watches.
[Boston Herald.]
The pioneers and others who have
taken an active and successful part
in the introduction of standard time
have all along acknowledged that the
system of lime notation now in gener
al use, which divides ihe day into
two parts of twelve hours, which are
repealed every day, they have to be
explained aseitlier ante-meridian or
post meridian. The railway officials
have lceii most alive to this this ano
malous condition of things, because
they have found as great difficulty in
making up their time schedules as the"
public usually liave in deciphering
them. Uailroad men, therefore,
would bea unit for the adoption of the
24 hour system. At the meeting of ihe
American Society of Civil Engineers
on the 2lst of last January, tin; com
mittee ou standard lime reported that
since thy June previous they liad com
municated with a large number of
prominent men in all parts of the
country, and found ninety-two per
cent, of them decidedly of the opinion
(hat the hours should he counted in a
single series,from zero to twenty-four.
Replies from railway officials repre
senting over 50.000 miles of road
were also received favoring the
change. The leiegragh interests were
also reported to be in full sympathy
with ilie uew system, and the presi
dent of the Western Union Telegraph
Company was given as authority for
the statement that, besides reducing
the number of errors, fully 150,000,000
litters would le saved annually in
transmission it it were adopted. The
proposed change has been widely dis
etis-iid both in this country and in
both sections there, is io bo noted a
growing sentiment in its lavor. .Scien
tific men have used the 21 hours sys
tem, for their special purposes for a
long time, and tills year the observa
tory at Greenwich,Eng.,changed their
astronomical time from begining the
rCay at 12 o’clock noon to 12 o’clock
night. In other words, the day at
that institution begins now at mid
night, counts up to 12 o’clock noon,
and then forward to 21 o'etbek at mid
night. One of the present difficulties
of matting the change to tile proposed
2f hour system is that our timepieces
both iu mcchauism and system of
notation are all based ou Ihe 12 hour
system. Various advices have
been suggested to adapt tho proposed
system to the present style ot watches
and clocks all of them more or less in
geniousor simple. One ot the very
best which has so far been shown
has recently he,on patented iu this
country and Europe,though it has not
yet been put upon the market.

(From tho Minneapolis Tribune.]
There wa. a marriage in high life
here yesterday. • Mary Sehncidcr
placed her hand in the palm of Horn
Won llong and promised to do hia
washing and mend his socks for life.
The groom is a small Cfclestial, who is
chief manipulator of a laundry
on the corner of Market and
Sixth si recta. He ia a thorough
bred Chinaman, and has thus
far eluded the persisteut missionary
who in-ists that the cue must go. He
wears Ilia string of braided hair coiled
around hit coeoamvt-shaped head
like a snake and walks ou embroid
ered shoes with cork, soles two stories
high. He lias no Americanisms
about him, not even in his speech,
lie is not an unprepossessing fellow
in appearance, havisig a smooth face
with a rather iutcUigent expression
and an cyo tor business, which is
proven by the loads of soiled linen he
cleanses at his establishment weekly,
and it is generally understood that lie
has a largely developed bank account.
About four weeks ago the bride,
a pretty German girl, who will
kick the beam, at 150 pounds, came to
this city from. La Crosse, where she
was living with her parents, and
thiough an employment agency se
cured a situation ia Horn Won Hong’s
laundry as head piano player. A
mutual affection soon sprung up be
tween the Celestial and his pretty em
ploye and yesterday they were made
one by Justice Hanft. who performed
the wedding ceremonies in tlio rear of
the laundry. When a reporter asked
the Chinaman what his bride's name
was he said he didn't know, tie had
forgotten. About a dozen represen
tatives of the Celestial Kingdom were
seated around the room,smoking their
peculiar pipes, stnpidly gazing
through the smoke out of their sleepy
eyes. In the wash room the bride
was receiving the congratulations
of her companions with a smiling
' face.
