An Excellent Appointment.
In appointing Blanch K. Bruce to be
ister of the T1ea°u1 V the Presi-
~ out has given the c0101ed section of
the population conspicuous recognition
and a capable man a place with the du-
ties of which he is already familiar.

honorable record of a United States
Senator from Mississippi during the re-
construction period. He has served as
Register of the Treasury during the
administrations of Garfield ahdg Arthu1
and 1has Recorder of Deeds in Wash-
in 51,011 during Ha11ison s administia-
Reg
Ll'afl. \
In every public position he has filled
he has discharged his duties with fidel-
ity and ability, and--his appointment
for the second time as Register of the
Treasury will be generally regarded
by candid men of all parties as an en-
tirely fitting selection.

“When I was visiting the Duke of
Atholl, at Blair Castle, some years
ago,” says a. correspondent of a New
York paper, “the housekeeper, with
great pride, showed to a party of us
Americans the bed chamber occupied
by her Majesty, who had just been
visiting her ducal neighbor. We were
particularly impressed with the great
state bed, with its curtains and va~
lence, standing on a. dais in the midst
of a vast room. The good caretaker,
much pleased with the interest we
took, made haste to turn down the
coverlet to show us the white satin
(fact!) sheets within on which royal-
ty reposed, when 10! before our vulgar
American eyes scrambled forth a fine,
fat specimen of the genus cimex lec-
tularius, which a. wag in the company
of spectators proceeded to capture and
put away in an envelope as a souve-
nir, as he put it, of the “blood royal.”
