ARCADIE. I traveled many winding ways That weary seemed to me, In cloudy nights and windy days, To find sweet Arcadie. ‘The shepherds stand on either hand ; “We fain would go with thee, Save for our sheep, to that sweet land, That far-off Arcadie.” Along the self-same way I fare, And shepherds ask of me: “* Hast found those green fields anywhere >" ** Yea—but the people dwelling there Know not 'tis Arcadie.” Arthur Willis Colton in October Century. LoGaN Cartiste’s Joxe.—Mr. Logan Carlisle, chief clerk of the Treasury Department, and son of Secretary Carlisle, is famed among his intrmate friends for his wit. It was during this Administration that Secretary Carlisle issued an order that no two members of a family should be employed in the Treasury Department at the same time. This caused several dismissals and forced resignations, and one young woman, whose mother had been forced to leave, entered indignant protest with Logan. She pleaded, threatened, and finally said: * Well, Mr. Chief Clerk, it's a poor rule that won't work both ways. Both your father and yourself being here the rule is violated, and I think it a shame that such favor- itism should be displayed.” Logan drummed on his desk with nis pencil and wore a far-away look.

CRITTENDEN, who succeeded Phelps in the Executive chair, was inaugurated in Jan- vary, 1881, with more ceremony and frills than any other Governor since the war. There were military and bands galore, and special trainloads of people came from Kansas City and St. Louis to witness the pageant. The military features were in charge of Captain Hawley, of St. Louis, who was grand marshal of the day. Brock- meyer, who, as Lieutenant-Governor, was presiding over the Senate, was lolling back in his chair on the President's stand, smoking a cob pipe and awaiting notice of the time for the Senate to proceed to the hall of the House of Representatives, where the two bodies in joint session were to receive the new Governor, and the inauguration would be consummated. The Senate lobby was crowded and the Senators were in their seats, on the tiptoe of expectancy, for martial strains could be heard on the outside. At this juncture a figure in a ghttering and brilliant uniform pushed through the crowd and marched half-way up the aisle, It was Mar- shal-of-the-Day Hawley. Drawing his sword, he made a military salute, and pompously announced : “Mr. President, the Governor of Missouri and his staff now approaches.” Without removing his pipe from his mouth, Brock- meyer replied : “Vell, let him coom ; dot is what we are here for.” —Kansas City Times. AY the convention of the Irish race held recently in Dublin, two speakers, who had come from the United States, contributed the following sentences in the course of their speeches. One of them, in giving some details of personal history, informed his hearers that “the had left Ireland fifty-three years before, a naked little boy, without a dollar in his pocket.” Said the MACMILLAN COMPANY, NEW YORK AND Loxpos.
