English Government Waste Paper.

Periodically precise statements of what is in stock are drawn up and sent to all known dealers in waste paper, and those of them "who wish to buy any of the lots offered to them return the lists with the highest bids they are prepared to make, and the highest bidder becomes the purchaser and carries it off. The annual sales bring in something over £10,000 a year, which, aooording to arrangements prevailing tip till 1841, -would all have gone as "perquisites" into official pockets. These were the good old times before the 'civil service 'went to the dogs." ft was found in very many cases that the official who pocketed the proceeds of waste paper had the original ordering of the goods.

The more he ordered the -greater would be the waste and the better for his pocket, and of course there was a dreadful hdwl when, in 1841, Mr. McCuiloch proposed a reform. The reform was indeed carried—on paper. But that, too, for a long time, proved to be little better than waste pajer. The officials naturally entertained the strongest objection to relinquishing their customary perquisites and held on to them until a few of them were prosecuted for theft, or, to adopt the more polite phraseology of a treasury minute, for "the systematic misappropriation of public property,'' and then for (the first ttmg Mr. McCulloch'8 reform became a real one, and ever since all waste has been properly collected and systematically dealt with.—Chambers' Journal.

Bmernon'i "American Scholar."

Emerson has left behind him nothing stronger thi& this address, "The American Scholar.'' It was the first application of his. views to the events of his day, written and delivered in the heat of early manhood while his extraordinary powers were at their height. It moves with a logical progression, of which he soon lost the habit The subject of it—the scholar's relation to the world—was the passion of his life. The body of his belief is to be found in this address, and in any adequate account of him the whole address ought to be given.

Dr. Holmes called this speech of Emerson's our "Intellectual Declaration Independence,*' and indeed it was. "The Phi Beta Kappa speech," says Mr. Lowell, "was an event without any former parallel in our literary annals, a scene always to be treasured in the memory for its picturoaqueness and its inspiration. What crowded and breath leas aisles, what windows clustering with eager heads, what enthusiasm of approval, what grim silence of foregone dissent!"—John Jqy Chapman in At lantia

iiCAUGHT IN THE ACT.

T1M Telltale Tracks on the Tapestry Betrayed Him.

Four or five Washington pastors were having a pleasant little meeting the other afternoon at the study of one of them, and they were having comparatively as much fun out of it as that many rounders would have had at a saloon knee deep in 47 varieties of tippla They were telling Sunday school stories, as a rule, but they swung around after awhile to temperance. "In my youth in Virginia," said the host, "we had, what is rare nowadays— to wit, a lot of more or less seedy and shabby genteel old fellows who went about the country delivering lectures on temperance and getting out of it only about so much as would clothe and feed them. Some of them were no doubt good and conscientious men, but among them were many who, notwithstanding their professions, dearly loved to take a glass of something warming to the inner man. 'Most of these tipplers were very particular not to have the rumor get abroad that they ever tasted the vile stuff, and when they took their drinks they observed great secrecy. I remember there was one whom we thought to be a most abstemious old fellow, and no one thought he ever tasted a drop, particularly a maiden aunt of mine who lived with my mother and was as rigid a temperance woman as ever came out of New England. My mother was much more liberal and wanted always to entertain these workers in the good cause, but my aunt had become so suspicious of all of them except this particular one that he was the only one who could find a night's lodging at our place. "One night this old chap came to stay all night, and he had such a severe cold that my mother prescribed a rubbing of goose grease on his feet and toasting it in by the fire before he went to bed. Now, as it happened, in the room where he slept there was a new carpet which my aunt had presented to my mother as a birthday gift, and there was an old fashioned sideboard in the same room, with a two gallon jug of good whisky on it, which somebody had forgotten to '.put inside and lock up. At 8 o'clock the black boy carried in the goose grease to our guest and left him sitting before the ,fire. "Just what happened after that nobody knows, but after the guest had departed next morning and the servants Brent to straighten up the room they found tracks innumerable between the fireplace and the sideboard, and in some way it was discovered that the old fellow, afraid of taking cold, had greased his socks and toasted the grease into his feet through them, and while the toasting was going on he made regular and frequent trips to the jug. Of course, if the tracks on the carpet had not betrayed him, no one would have ever noticed by the jug that he had been drinking out of it. He never came back again, and I don't know whether my aunt was more ed over the ruined carpet or over ie ruined idol, for she had the greatest confidence in the old man."—Washington Star.

DETECTED THE REPEATERS.

Innocent Fishhooks Whioh Caused Wholesale Arrest of Voters.

During the reconstruction times in Alabama, just after the late civil war, all of the state and county offices were administered by the Republicans. This was from 1866 to 1874, wiien the Democrats again secured control of the government and have held it ever since.

The election of George S. Houston, Democrat, as governor in 1874 was one of the hottest ever held in the state, and many were fihe tricks practiced on both sides in that election. "Possibly themost novel was a device put into operation at Mobile. Repeaters were common in those days, and this »device was used by the Democrats to csftch the negroes, who had learned the repeating trick. All of the negroes voted &e Republican ticket then.

On the election day mentioned the polling places were opened, and the voting commenced. "The Democratic election officers at the boxes had secured a stock of small fishhooks with which to carry out their new plan. Whenever a negro voted, »n officer stocks hook in the voter's vest front, where it could be plainly seen. After having exercised his constitutional right of voting, "Cuffy" proceeded to another polling place and sought to vote a second time. He was thereupon arrested and put in jail upon a charge of fraud. The scheme worked like a charm. By noon 175 negroes had been arrested and jailed. The wholesale arrests se frightened the negroes who had not voted that they refrained from going to the polls^ that day, and the Democrats won the election.—Chicago Times-Herald.

The Whipping: Post In Votton.

Alioe Morse Earle, in an article on "Punishments of Bygone Days," found in The Chapbook, after giving John Taylor the Water Poet's rhymed descriptions of corporal punishment in London, explains how rapidly flogging came into use in Bostsa:

The whipping poet was speedily in full force in BoGton. At the session of the court beid Nov. 80, 1680, one man was sentenced to be whipped for stealing a loaf of bread, another for shooting fowl on the Sabbath, another for swearing, another for leaving a boat "without a pylott" Then we read of John Pease that for "stryking his mother and deryding her he sbalbe whipt."

Lying, sweating, taking falae toll, perjury, selling rum to the Indians—all were punished by whipping. Pious regard for the Sabbath was fiercely upheld by the support of the whipping post. In 1648, Roger Soott, for "repeated sleeping on the Lord's day," and for striking the person who waked him from his godiess slumber, was sentenced to be severely whipped. Women were not spared in pubiie chastisement "The gift of prophecy" was "at once subdued in Boston by lashes, as was unwomanly damage.
