Last week ex-Gov. Jarvis, of North Car
oline, wrote a letter lo one of his friend*,
saying in positive terms that he bad
not asked for tbe Brazilian nihsiou;
that he did not want it, and that
he considered it as banishment. Forty-
eight bonra atterward he appeared in
Washington, and was persuaded to forego
hia previous declination. Mr. Jarvis was
proposed for a seat in the cabinet by his
political friends. In tba distribution of
diplomatic honors, the post at Brasil waa
awarded to the Old North State, and Mr.
Jarvis was nominated wlthont bis knowl
edge or previous privity. He is popular
in the State, progressive, end likely to be
come a serious candidate for tbe Senat-.
Perhaps General Ransom, whose term will
expire In 1889, may have thought it desira
ble to have an important competitor out of
the country.
The appointment of Mr, Buck to Peru
quite onset tho equilibrium of the Ken
tucky delegation to Congress. Following
c'.orely on tbe heels of the defeat of their
favorite tor commisiioner of internal rev
enue, it may be said to have excited the
keen resentment of tbe politicians. Mr.
Buck had lived in Mississippi, and was
ortnnate in having the friendship of Mr.
Lamar. Ono aaoh friend, when in earneat,
is a tower of strength. Mr. Beck vehe
mently condemned Mr. Back's appoint
ment, so far as it was charged to Ken
tucky. He declared he did not know Mr.
Buck. The representatives ol the admin
istration answered that Mr. Back had
been chosen in compliment to tbe wiahes
of the Senators and Representatives from
Kentucky, and exhibited their written
recommendations to that effect, beaded by
Mr. Beck and Mr. Blackburn. This an
swer silenced tbe opposition, and dis
proved tha accepted theory that general
recommendations for office bave no value
and that personal lnfinencs la alone effee
tire.
It Is alleged that Mr. Jaekson, the new
minister to Mexico, who was confirmed
wlthont hesitation by the Senate, stands In
tbe ssms category with hla former law
partnsr, General Liwton, who was not
confirmed. Thetis to say, they both re
ceived pardons from President Johneon,
hut did not get their disabilities removed
by Congress, holding that tha pardon wa*
legs y sufficient to cover the offense.
General Lawton was not rejected, nor
even reported upon adversely. Bat the
nomin ation waa withdrawn after the com
mute* on foreign relaUont bad called at
tention to tbe pofntot disability. If that
la held good ground for refusing him tbe
Russian mission, and if Mr. J act son be In
tha lame boat, is the tatter to be favored
as an exception became the Senate was Ig
norant ot his antecedents? This is a nice
not for teebolcal constructionists to crack.

“When does a woman begin to grow
old?" was lately asked In an arsemblv oi
Fteneb wo neo, who .are said to be even
more afraid of vicillir than tbs women of
other oonntriet. "With the first gray
htir," suggested one of the ladies, and
‘ when she erases to inspire love,” thnnsh'
another. Tbe declai m was finally pat to
a charming white-haired matron of some
seventy years, who at once replied; " Wha'
do 1 know about It? You must ark an old
woman to answer you such a question.”
