One day a grand postoffice official
'12appened to be passing through a
British Govermnent office with
which he was not connected. There
he saw a man standing before a fire
reading a newspaper. Hours after,
-returning the same way, he was
. shocked to find the same man, legs
• extended, before the same fire, still
buried in the columns of a news-
paper. Halloa, sir! cried the indig-
nant head of the department, what
.are you doing ? Can't you see what
I am doing? was the answer. Sir, I
.came through this office four hours
lige and found you reading the
paper; I return, and you are still
wasting your time in the same man-
ner. Very true, you have stated
the case to a nicety, Hereupon the
bead of the department naturally
fires up. What is your name, sir ?
he says. Well, I don't know as my
name is any affair of yours—what is
your name? Sir, I would have you

The Donkey in Jokes.
"By Jove!" said the country squire who
had got the worst of an argument with
Sydney Smith, "if I had a son who was n
donkey, ',awake a parson of him straight
away."
"Possibly," returned the wit, "butyour
father was evidently of a different mind."
That is one type. Here is another: A man
had a portrait taken with his children in a
donkey carriage, he standing at the anim-
al's head. Showing it to a friend, he asked
his opinion of the likeness. "It's the very
image of you," was the verdict, "but who
is that holding your head'?"
Here is still another specimen that recalls
the "Society Upon the Stainslaw:" Two
gentlemen in an auction -room were dis-
puting the taissession of a picture by a
celebrated painter, which faithfully repre-
senteil an ass. Finally one of them said:
"My dear sir, it is of no use, I shall not
give in. The painting once belonged to
my grandfather and I intend to msec it."
eer,
This coantry is at present the scene of
the labors of a financial angel of the very
first magnitude in the person of SI r Charles
Rivers Wilson. linight of St. Michael and
St. George, and Companion of the Bath.
etc. Sir Rivers is over here as the champ-
ion and representative of the European
stockholders of the Central Pacific Rail-
road, having in charge the interests of
some %%13,000,000 belonging to these worthy
and confiding investors in American se-
curities, This vast sum, however, does
not mean anything to Sir Rivers. He is in
the habit of dealing with money in sum:
so large that the bare mention of them is
calculated to make the bead of the ordin-
ary man ache.
As Comptroller General of the British
National Debt—an office which he has
held since 1878 and which he only resigned
last month, Sir Rivers has had charge of
funds amounting to the stupendous total
of between two hundred and thirty to two
hundred and forty millions of pounds
sterling. The income of this vast sum
amounts to some fifteen millions of pounds
sterling, all of which it was part of the
duties of his office to invest. It will btere-
alized, therefore, that it is not the amount
of the interests which have been confided
to his care which troubles him.
In appearance Sir Rivers is very much
like the Marquis of Dufferin, both in form
and feature. He is thin and tall, and
might be a man of some fifty -live years 01
age. His hair has not yetturned, although
his whiskers and moustache are quire
grizzled. He has a most amiable, indeed
a winning face, with a decidedly humor-
ous twinkle of the eyes, but, all the same,
there are certain omiuous lines about the
mouth which would suggest that this
same kind face can be very hard and firm
at times, and that it can be so probably no
one knows better than His Highness
isinail I'aclm.
Sir Rivers was brought up in that nun
sery of good breeding and repose of man:
ner, namely, the Treasury Department of
the gover ument, and he shows it in every
move. His manner is full of subdued
bonhomie, with a distinct touch of a Ches.
terfieldian politeness, and his method of
speech is slightly of the Parliamentary
order, with the halting "er" of the public
speaker, and liis voico is very clear and
penetrating.
Sir Rivers is above alt things a, diplomat,
and shows it in a thousrand different ways.
Whether speaking of men or places, he
always conveys the idea, that he knows a
'great deal more of the subject than he is
saying, and this gives him a suggestion ot
reserved power, with a suspicion of the
iron hand in the velvet glove. As regartb
his dress, Sir Rivers is a bit. of a daudy,but
only to the extent that after leaving Lim
no one could recall one prominent feature
of his attire.
It is, of course, with Egypt that the
name of Sir Charles Rivers Wilson must
be always associated. One circumstance
stands out in this connection which speak:
for itself. When he first went out tc
Egypt, in 1870, as the representative of tile
British government, the country was prac-
tically baukrupt, and the seven per cent,
unified bonds were quoted at 23. To -day,
after various conversions, these same
unified bonds, the interest on which
has been scaled down in the
meantime to four per cent., stand
at about 103. To enter into the history of
his Egyptian career would be impossible
within the limits of this article, but the
document which has paesed into history ii
the report o the Commission d'En quete,
of which he was president, in succession to
the late Ferdinand de 'Asset's, which had
for a result the practical recovery of 450,-
000 acres of the most fertile land in Egypt,
which had been "annexed" by Istneil
Paella, amine placing of the finances and
taxation on a basis of prosperits of which
the wretched and downtrodden fellaheen
had never dreamed or supposed possible.
Another historical episode in Sir Rivers'
Egyptiau career was when he threatened
to adjourn the conference and withdraw.
He went to the palace to make his adieux
to the Khedive, who, after mumbling out
au incoherent speech, placed in his hands
a document which meant the complete

An amazing story of canine *sagacity is
told in a recent number of La Lanterne,
Paris. M. and Mine. Herisson, living in
the Rue St. Sauveur, went to the theatre
one evening, leaving their domicile guard-
ed only by a very intelligent little dog,
who answered to the name of Castor. They
valued him highly, and often remarked:
"Castor? We would not sell him for10,-
000 francs."
They had not been long away when bur -
Oars entered the house. Castor, who was
at that moment in the kitchen, whiling
away the hours by chasing his tail, heard
the noise, and not recognizing his 'nester's
step, pricked up his ears and listened. A
moment more and he decided it must be
thieves. To the proverbial fidelity of his
race there was added in this wonderful dog
the wisdom of serpents. Realizing that if
he barked the intruders would seize and
silence him forever, he sat down, covered
his head with his paws and thought in-
tently. At last a light broke over his
mind, and he stole noiselessly from the
house and ran swiftly to a near -by build-
ing which was in the course of construc-
tion. There he seized a lighted lantern ;
in his mouth and returned with it to the
house.
The ruse met with the success it deservel
ed. The thieves, seeing the light in the
adjoining roonebelieved themselves detect-
ed, and fled. Castor's joy knew no bound.%
and when his owners returned they found
him still rubbing his paws with satisfac- TEA IN
