Fie is cuck fu'd of human r atare. Yes jes, in the my nature of thicga this has gat to be a Democratic administration. Amoug tha nineteen removals Ecurd in Cor'essman Mation's district last week there was cne Presidential appointrxent. ''This PoBtmaster is a Republican ecitcr," sid ilr. i! ait on. "Is he ctTensively partisan?'' "Bitterly partisan, as I think this editorljl will ehow," Mr. liaison replied, handing iha 1'retident a paper containio an editorial of a violently cef&matcry nature. Tne editorial was the work of a blackcaard or bumpkin. It chronicled the vlit of resident Cleveland acd Vice President Hecdricki to the battiet-eld to Gettysburg. The President cf the United states and the President of the Senate were call d neaks and copperheads. It ould enly have bsen written by 'one cf those infinitely little thingt,' in the lacfusgeof Horace Grcely, 'whom Almighty Gcd in His infinite wicdom for some in scruitible purpose,' perm; Is to edit a majority of the country republican papers." Fresident Cleveland, when ia dtaa earnest, Las a way of expelling the air through his lip. This done, iifter reading a moment, he eaic with great earreitness (a mere glance ;it him reveals that he is one of the most earnest mtn in America), "Where are these papers?" When produced, he wrote with great vir, tajirg, "That man is an enemy to Iiis country." Failing to "cstch on to" the humor, he chose to exercise the Presidential prerogative, tnip hts;'zing, "The rsscais mu3t go." Withdrawing, ute of tbe Democrats who had ben present remarked to another, "I am delifchttd to rcal'.za that we are the Govcrrjiuent now." Mr. Lamar eaid ta Sanator Voorbe?s recently: "Dan, 1 am tt present, on the auhj 3. of removals and Kpcointment3, ia a yery ca plesiant iitnati'n. Fastis and Blackburn are very anry. Vest ia mal and contemplating revesge, P.andall ia by no manner cf meats in a good homer, ar.d that you are lively to grow into a condition of evil temper with my marBgament ia a fast that cu not be dissu'scd." Mr. Laraar has a faculty of " always being reminded of an applicable anecdote. "A leilow in MlFsiseipDi." he proceeded to illustrate, "got into a tteh..

Thea 8E ether kicked him, then another, aad kicking teemed to became the general order of things. 'Hold! enough:' tue fellow petitiered. A truce extended, he explained: 'Gentlemen, this is not a qnesti 'O to be settled by boot leather on my person. Lst us retire acd thir.k.' " A great part of a correspondent's life is cecessaiily devoted to the mod.ficuida of previously prs'erred charsres. To plane olf thj inequalities and get down to an absolute level requires time, liythe time the home run is made, however, thinirs get correct. I lately drew for tbe Sentinel the picture of a department clerk who came here under Johnson, from Hancock County. It seems to tave (Jone injustice, too, acd hart a nan by the came cf Pales. I have been so informed on tbe highest possible authority. "A more conscientious, harlworkim?, becest man is not in the 6n7.ee," wes the language ot my informer.

This is the true hhtory of ISales' appointment He was acquainted vtith Jatie David S Gcoding, then Marshal of the District cf Columbia. He came here looktue for a position. That gentleman went witu him to the room of 'Ihorv.as A. Headricka, then a United States Senator. "I have no right to ask asis'aace fmi jcu, criaor, in this matter, ai I am a ILpuöiican." This language was given hi? by Mr. Bales nimte'.f "Your politics are j our own, youn man," was Mr. Hendriks' reply. "Far above politics star ds the fact that yoa are a woaaded soldier :iud frora Indiana. It i my duty t j help ou. Come to me to-morrow at 1'. wbta we will po and see what can be done " Duripg the five years tbat Mr. llendricis was at the head cf the land cilice ha nev?r turned a competent Indiana mia applying Kr cüice away. The L'nitfd States Senator visited the departments with the wounded loldier. Tbe unly accessible vacancy ws that of a laborer, which Mr. ti tles took at t a mouth. That ia all the political indueu'-e he has ever had. Hia piomotion has been alone the result of bard work and merit. There are hundreds ot department clerks perhaps with similar histories if the tru h was known. There are a great many argaments after all for going slow. It was tcld me that a lady ia Georgetown wes enabled by travel and eorreipoadence to talk intelligently of Persia, furnishing material that nii'ht be woven into a letter. A carxiage net being convenient, I took a street car, instructed the driver to show me tbe reeidence of Judge Key, once cf Terre Hanfe I believe. Ia tha course cf time I was siDging, brushing tha abomination from my smart clothes, and arranging my coMir to mate a pre?entab'e appearance. While thus eegsged (these Washington people give joa plenty ci' time f jr that tort of tarn) I was joined by another decorns-looking, welldressed gentleman, and then by asother decorous-looking, well dressed gentieaiaa. By the time it door was open three olm 1, Crcorccs, well dref.ed gentlemen wer upja the steps. I said my piece: "I belong to the press and have been directed here to find a lady who conld give me some information concerning the Kajt Persia." "I am sorry," was tbe reoly, "but the lalv who once lived In Persia left yesterday inorüits er St. Louis." Tbcs enlightened I turned about aud descended to tbe sidewalk, followed by the two well dressed, decorous looking gentlemen aforesaid.

Meeting Ward today hi told me: "I r.ava no farther basiness here cf which I am aware than to recommer.d the appointment of Postmasters in Tipton County." Statesmen in the corn belt and on tbe water shed teem to be unusually backward this season. The average culler at the Whits Kouss has but little more to say than, "Mr. President, I called to cocgratulata you." Mr. Cleveland is evidently getting enough of this to give Lim arength. The average Indianian in Washington is mallng a etill hunt, and asks as a petsonal favor that all mention cf hia name Is avoided. There are a great many parasites that distress the programs cf journalism, and the fiend who devotes himself to the suppression of intelligence is the mozt detestable. He has a connection with tbe pencnal-friend of-tbe editor-fiend, win buttonholes and embarrasses a reporter at every point. The Indianian ia Washington is indirect, invisible, subterranean, aud altogether an unin'.eresiing creature for a newepaper interview. A lazy rain is falling, which imparts an atmosphere of sloth to political interests, which are already dutrefsirgly slow, .Since the afternoon of Marsh 4 the Democrats have beu in power, and yet no negro baa been returned to slavery, eo rebel soldier pensioned and n3 Confederate bonds purchased by the Government. "If Cleveland is elacte t," ra"d an Indianapolis Republican, with emphasia, ia November, "there will be trouble." "If Ulevelacd Is elected," replied a Democrat, "and yoa Republicans go to making trouble, we'll bang yoa. We'ii make ehort work of the next rebellion." After anriortrtr. through the departments ,th!s.iuciJikg. ;jvl)ch pnjA'-'d- eflarut'y tatlsfactory, Mr. Vocrhees visited his com. mittee room, where a large crowJ 01 liliao-s ard Indiana people awaited him for the sole gurpcte of paying their respects. A general cocvereaticn followed, embracing a variety of topics, after which Mr. Yoorhees wa3 drawn tota'k cn the subject of the American Presidents. God raises np men, be thmke, for the ssle pa 1 pose of accoraplbfling certain mnlte. Tbe three most auspicious characters that ever crossed the threshold of the Whiie House were Washingtoo, Jeffi-r-on acd Lincoln. The tword presented Washington by Frederick the Great is tntciibed: "i'rom the greatest soldier in Europe to the greatest eo'.dler in the world." Where is there another great Captain in a'l histery who ever kept such an army as the American volunteers in line for seven years? Yet Washington would have proven a, inadequate to the performance of Jefferson's wotk as JeCerson would have fallen short of performirg what the first President achieved. Jefferson wss the first cf the AbjlitiDnisls, leading Wilberforce ten years. His arraignment of King Georg for allowing tbe African aa7e trade was terriEc. Attnav time no Federalist or Englishman either had ever thought or written on the eubject. The nret measure he ever introduced In a leilalive bedy provided that tbe people cf Yirginia, cf their owa free will and accord, might nannmit their slaves. Of coarse, it was first voted down public eentiraeit coaterorlated free regrce9 with a feeling of reTu.'sicc bat at last it became a law. His hatred of slavery i d cot top with the African, though it included him, but found expression m bread opposition to every wrorjr tbtt opprejees. tbe roar. There, was no limit to his sympathise for the French jecple, aicorg whom he ecjenrned. a-j.t whom he studied in the hnta of the peaantr as well as in the halls o! the rich. J our Drying in dirgn;s3, and with conceal-:! rar.k, he ditebvered the crimes against the working ctawes tbat must ineyittbiy lead to W3r laboiicg men at l a year and laboring women at one half that amount. F airly feeitg, in tbe language of Bsa Va le, tbat bell ia r.o mere than a half mile frcs-a here from Nice he wrote a letter to Lafayette prophesying the bloodiest re70latln in all history. He lived to eeo it come hie tbe wrath of God the ttreels of Par's dree ched with blood, and the Bastiie, th-tt bed withstood the assaults of armies wil!i cannon, razed to the ground by unarmed men.

He bronsht to Ameiica a heart fall ot Franc, and would have returned to tha: country, but yielded to tbe solicitations of President Washington and became Sicetary of fc'tate. In ndditlon to Greek ar.d Latin, cf which he was a perfect master, (he snoke an accurate and fluent French and German. Hs also conversed with the savages rl America in ee7en tribal languages. To tut tew men of Lis day did so many sciences yield their secrets. He invented the carve mole board for plows lie correpondT?d with Humboldt concern ing the practicability of turning tee waters of the north iüto t'ie Mihsisippi. and this correspondence ultimately it ad to that vast canal. I or.ee had occasion to solicit icfaraiat'on of this illustrious American from Judfr Tarpie, and I asked him, "What life of Jefferson Is beet 7" Tarton'a Is asgod as any," was the reply, "but really no life of Jetferaon exists. There ere but few minds capable of gra.ping tae man." Lincoln, Mr. Yoorhee3 thinks, was called and elected to lead tbe country through the most try iDg period ot its history. The popular conception of him a plain, blnnt man, who concealed nothing and whose motives were always open, ia absurd. He wki tbe most adroit of men, t distinct character, and always proceeded to try a case in court as no

OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT.

The Cbicago Farmers' Iteview Gives an Eihanstlve Summary of tbe Western ami Soathetn WheatGrowing States. Chk A'-o, May 31. The growing wheat crcp having approached a condition sufficiently near maturity to approximate the screage and probable yield, tbe Farmers' Review has followed up its usual weekly summary by a complete review cf the Wes'ern and Southern v-heat-growing States, reports having been received from over 3,000 correspondent?, covering every wheat producing county in Ohio, Michigan, Indians, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennes3ee, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dikota, together with a very accurate summary from the Pacific coast region, made by tte Associated Fre8, It is believed, makes the mo?t complete report ever iwued. The review has been öarefnlly prepared-an i the infer cnation 13 "believed to be the most exhaustive and lateBt that has yet bsen obtained, and foreshadows the State and Governmert reports. In summing up its detailed reports th-? 11 view soys- "The gloomie3t views whlci have been ad7auCod or.csming the w.nter wheat outlook for 1SS5 must now b3 accepted es the meet accurate. The promising conditions of 1881 have this eeasoa bsbn completely reversed. The absolute naiformity ot the returcs icdicate that trie outIcok for the Eown wheat this year is the wcrst in ten years, and it may now be set dewn as positive that under tne mot favorable eondifions tbe total winter and scriag wheat yield is to fall considerab'y und-r the ehcrt crop of I SM, when the total prod act fas G 0,000, CU0 bushels With the exception otMich.'gan ;md Oregon, and Wasaingtim Tertitory, cn the Western Elope, the causes leedirg to a decreaeed output of winter vtheat tre almost identical. In Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri the gtcuid was baro cf snow -daring the teverely cold weather at th close cf the winter, which was followed by co!d dry winds later on. There was also a dfcieesed eceage, owing to the low prices wLich prevailed fjr the crop cf 1SS1. In California; the decreased acrtaie was accompanied by ttvere diouib, which has tet-d.d to aln oit ruin the growing crop.

Illinois F.f'y-three percent of the entire wheat crop of the State his been plowed up, and mere woald have bsen p'ewed, bad not the ground been sown to c'over nnd grais.

Tbe average condition of ell the counties of th.e State dees not ficsed 4fi per cent, o! the yield of 18S4, based upon tha fields not yet. plowed up.

From a dese compilat'oo, and taking the most rbterful view cf the situation, tbe winter wheat. 5ield f r the present year will not exceed 2tX.000,-0 buehe's, ad the abwlu'.e percentsges from th9 most trat-vorfby ecurcee, indicate that ths yield will fill somewhat under than over the figirea g'veo. Turoing to the spring wheat belt, the ontlook is altogether mere promising. Fall returns from Nebraska show a slightly eal.irped acreage, as compared to last ye&r, while in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota the decrease ia acre aze will bo about 11 per ce&t., white the condition is about 95 per cent. Tbe acreage of Dakota is aoaut 8 per cent. less than last year, arjd the conditions fully equal, though the season is from ten to twelve davs later.

California's Estimate of tbe Wheat Crop. San Fhascisco, Cal , 31. The wheat crop of California, this ) -on, will be the smallest for many years. There are two reasons fcr this. 'L Tbe large yield of last year and the low prices received caused a great shortage in the acreage. 2. Tbe late snow-grown grain on winter ployed lands will, from a lack of rain, be cut for bay. The sere aee of wheat in ISSt was io round numbers :i.5o0,000 anres, yielding S7,W9,009 lächelt. Edwin F. Saiith, Secretary c! the

State Agricultural Society cf California, estimates the a;resce of the present year at 2 KO.00O acres, with a total yield of 2.".000,000 boehels, or less than half the crop as compared with last year. There is still on hand in the State 15 000, Oi'O bushels cf last year'a crop. Dy deducting 10,000,000 bushels for home consumption, theie will remain 30.000,CCQ bushels for export- The estimates lor Oxegcn and Washington Territory eho-v large paius. Tbe acreage in Western Oregja ib 23 per cent, greater than last year. The early rairs of tie present rxenth, which wers followed by cool, cloudy weather, have assured the spring sown praic. whiie the recent conditlcn cf winter wheat is better taaa at the cormpcndlDg period last year.

Socn a 1'agea.ot Was Never Before Witneed In Firls Hundreds of Thoneands Ansemble to Honor the lm mortal ApoMtle of Humanity. rAr.i, June 1, 10 a. m. Although rain fell during the night aud there was every indication in the morning of more rata to-day, hundreds cf thousands of people were abroad at daylight, already crowding the streets and boulevards through which the great procession will move that accompanies the remains of Victor Hugo to his last resting place in -tie Pantheon. -'Ojving to the crowded condition of tbe ho!el3 thousands weie compelled to bivouac ia the open air all nif ht. The space around the Arc d9 Tricmphe is already filled with -the chief clhceisof the State, the members of the Diplomatic Corps, Senators and Deputies. From ail directions come deputations with draped banners and bearing fijwers and gigantic wreaths, and all moving in- the direction cf the Ars de Tricmphe, the Mscca ct France to-day. "cver did Tans present euch & Ecene. The chestnut trete ia the Champs K'ysee are in full bloom, and form a ttrauge ontrust to the veiled lights, draped banners aad the vast eea cf epactatcrs. all in the habilimccts of mourning, that line 6ithsr sida of the immense field, and tbe brilliant uniforms cf the soldiers. Barge to'ie3 0f cavalry cccupy the streets leading to th? Caamp3 E yHe. Minute gnns are beinc fired from tha Hotel tfes Invalides aad from Fcrt Ya'erieu. Tie cro?rd8 are very orderly, and at this hoar theie is rot a in ct the trouble so much talked of and written ab jut. The societies are taking the p'aces aos.igr.ed to them ia the line cf rrcce ision. Trains loaded with visiters from the provinces and frnm abroad are ccuEtantly arrivirg. Tne enormous crowds already hers are increasing The lateral procession started punctually at dcoc. - The" threatenics clouds of the mcrnicc had disappeared by this time and the sun thene forth brilliantly. Many chariots, heaped up with the offerings ot the peo- ! P;e 'f followed the bsarco ia tha precession. Enormous crowds of people lined the streets that formed the route of the. procession, while other masses of people pos-' sess the inienectirg streets for a great distance cn either side. The buildings are black with people, as indeed is every nint from which may be had a view of the unparalleled epectne'e. 1 :4 j p. m. The head cf the procession escortirg the bedy of Victor Hugo to toe Panthecn tai just now reached that lodgement of tbe illustrious dead. The immense crowd thet fills the Boulevard Michel includes an enormous number of people who go 10 make up the disturbing or noisy element cf the city's population. Now that the fnneral Is practically over, these "roughs" threaten to inaugurate the revolutionary demonstralioa which b;is been expected since the deata ot Victor Haeo. 2 p. ru. The funeral oration which M. Flcquet delivered at the Arc de Triornpae toncr ed the hearts of his hearers and wai greatly applauded. The procession ie movirg without a hitch in tbe prescribed programme. The police arrested reveral bearers oi red flags, which were nnfurled at the starting points or headquarters of ths several revolutionary societies. There hai been, however, no serious collision yet. The siiginp of revolutionary and patriotic sores by bards cf men paihered beyond ths reach of the voice cf the orators interrupted somewhat tbe unity of tbe eulogies, bnt bsvend this there was nothing to mar the beauty or. detrcct from the impre8sivenecs of the epeclacie. Tbe faneral of Victor Hat?o np to this hour (.5:40 p m.) has been allowed to be coodecud with every maik of respect. The enormous nias-ea of people in the streets maintain an exceptional quiet. Six cratiots were delivered under the Arc de Triomphfl in the presence cf nearly all the tllustrlOQS men of and in France. M Eerouer, President of th? Senate, said Victor Hngo constantly pursaea the higher ideal of justice and humanity, and thus exercied an in men&e influence over the moral feeling Cf France. 2d. Flcquet said that the ceremony to-day was net a faneral. It was an. apothot. He bailed Victor Hugo as the immortal posUe who bequeathed to , bumautty that gospel which could lead the people to the definitive conquest of "Liberty, equality and fraternity." M. Augier, a member of tbe Academy, elaborated tbe fact, made evident to-day, "to he eovere;gn p.et Francs renders soveieign honors." M. Gceblet. President of the Chamber of Deputies, declared tbat Vb tor Hago will re main tbe highest personification of the nineteenth century, the history of which, in its ccntradiciior", donbts, ideas and asnlrations, wes beet TeliiCled in his works. Tae character of Yicior Hugo was profoaadiy bnrr.an, and represented the ap:r;i of toleration and of petce. Tfce faneral cererronles were completed and the march of the procession endrd with out anything happening that mi-ght be called of aduordeily character. Accidents incident to tue presence of suca an immense concourse tf people were numerous, and in many instances were of a serious nature. The precession as it left the Arc de Trioaiphe moved In the following order: First, a equadron of tbe Republican Guar??, then tfce General comnandiog with his stab. After these Cime a rsimeat cf Cclraesiers, beaded by its bnd and tbe drum corps cf three regiments. Tuese formed the escort proper for the funeral procession, while along tbe line on both aide were constantly heard the roil of the mnflied drama. Cara laden with wreaths and 11 jwers, accompanied by the boys of the public schools. The band of the Republican Guards her beaded the deputation from Besaossan, the Tf presen tatives for . foreign newspapers, members cf the Dramatic Society and delegations from the National and other theaters. Following the hearse were tne relatives and immediate friends of the family of Victor Hugo. The repreeentatives of President Grevy, the Presidents of the Bmate and Chamber cf Deputies, Foreign Amhissadors, the Chancellor cf the Leg.cn cf Honor, the

military, Governor of Paris, Senators and Deputies, deputations, the prefects of the Seine, the police and military and naval authorities, a contingent of the army cf Paris and a squadron of the Republican Guards. The procession followed theraute from the Champs Elysea through the Place de la Concorde, the Bonievarda, Bt. Germain and St. Michael, the Rae Ban. Hot to the Place de Pantheon. At tha time tbat the bead cf the process'on has reached the De Pantheon the end bad gcot left the Arc de Tricniphe. All in the precession tee iced to appreciate that Franca was doing honor to ler niCEt illustrious poet. All were quist, and all ob;erved a most becoming demeanor. The pressure of the packed masses of people was fiightful to contemplate, and m.iay of tho?e who were "ia the packs" were eericusly crushed. Tte cb?tqnie s to-day surpassed everything within the memory of the oldest cit;z?n. Such a cencouree or people his jarely been witseff-cd in Paris. Before the Eürt cf the precession the police seized fifteen red f.azs and immediately dee trcyed them. Pitceiirg the fceane were twelve cars cf Jcdies with floral crowrs. Resides theie, 00 wreaths were carried by the various deputation?. There is general rejoicing becauee cf the absence of disorder. It is estimated that the precession numbered lOtOOCO persons.
