"Well, think of bow Commisüoner of Pensions dark crawled and begged to be retained; denied his politics; Defrayed h'xz political friends; made overtures to his enemies; tried to manipulate the employes in theoffice, all to be kept in the place, It was eo disausting that the Democrats, after using him against Dadiey, threw him overheard. Now he is a cajfaway and can't Ret into either party, and we are all glad of it, men ia all parties. There was Dyrenforth, who was Deputy Commissioner of Patents through a long term of Republican rule, who tried the reversible chang3 and played Democrat to get the 7omiuis?iocer$hip. The (act that he retained his place under Republican administration by striving to sympathize and aid that party was enough, and he was quickly superceded. It dots my heart good to see the Democrats weeding them out, end I will guarantee that if all of these thousands of sycophants are dumped out there will be no fuss made by Republicans on civil service ground. The good men are few, and ought to be retained. If only the duervicg men are kept m their places the Democrats will not be deprived of many offices." The gerate Providing for -mf tiee Clerks.

"It's very bad weather when the average Senator doesn't take care of his committee clerk," observed a member cf thai body to-day, "Of the twenty or thirty committees not having annual clerkshijs," continued he, ''only two have not been provided for by some scheme. The majority of them have had resolutions adopted authorizing the committees to sit durirg recets; others will go on investigating trips.

When left to itself the life of a vatient from the first appearance o! tbe aist we varies, in accoroance with the cstt mates of different observers, from 10,5 to 1J montna, the arerge beiu? 11.7 months. Deata enuts, lirst, Iromue seneraiizatioo of the disease: tecondly. from septic pnenmonia from the inhalation ot putrid emanations, which result Iron the decomposition of the products of the ulcerated surface; thirdly, from s arvat'.on, through pressure ol the sflected lymphatic trends and burrounding psrta upon the isopbaj?us, thereby Interfering with diglutltion, and lastly f.om hemorrhage, proceed 1112 Irom ulcerated lingual irterk' or Teseels of the neefc. The duration ot lile of rhose who survive the operation averages nineteen months, rot onlydos operative interference prolong life and relieve tuil'srine, but it eflects u final cure in 14 per cent, of all cases. In attaining these results t must, however, be remembered that an incision of tbe tons-ue is attended with a mortality of per cent , the principal dancers being the shook, hemorrhage rrdeto of the glottis, septic lun? afiection. pja meia and erysipelas, some of which rif-ks can e avided by tating careful precautions during the Operation, ind by aioptius antifeptic mtasurcs during and after the procedure. When, in addition to the disease of the tongue itself, the palate and the toneil are involved, the prognosis is far more grave, whether the disease be permitted to pursue its unaided course or whether it be subjected to the knife. In tbe latter event cot only will the tongue have to be extirpated, but the disease of the palate an tonsil will have to be reached. o far as we can learn there is no example of the performance of the double operation oi record, and it is, in our opinion, not justifiable.
