The Federal civil service was discredited by the scandals connected with the Sanborn contracts, the Whisky Ring, and the Star Routes, while some leaders in Congress were under a cloud from the "Salary Grab" and Credit Mobilier disclosures.* * See "The Boss and the Machine", by Samuel P. Orth in "The Chronicles of America".
Messrs. Julian, Orth, and Dumont were again elected. The last-named had made a reputation in the preceding Congress as a keen and able man. The Illinois delegation, which had contained a large majority of Democrats in the Thirty-eighth Congress, now returned strongly Republican, Mr. Lincoln's victory of 1864 having, with three exceptions, carried with it every Congressional district.
"You drew a picture which made me feel what a worth orth orthless mortal I am, and this incited me to throw off the garment of slothfulness, and put on armor for the battle of life." "So be it! Now tell us what you have determined upon." "My unfortunate imped ed ediment is my great drawback.
But as Orth stared to-day at the brilliant youth, of whose life he knew nothing, he suddenly became aware of a human stirring at the foundations of his aesthetic pleasure. "I wish he were alive and here," he thought, with a sigh. "What a jolly little companion he would be! And this fine old mansion would make a far more complementary setting for him than for me."
John's College, China, and a sub-contractor for railroad construction in Montana, and who was now a minor clerk in the cool, lofty offices of the Materials and Supplies Department, came over from Colon, relaxed in a tilted-back chair, and fingered the Masonic charm on his horsehair watch-guard, while he talked with the P.

She was devoted to him, and cared for no other companion, although she was demonstrative to her mother when they met. It was in the tenth month of this idyl of the lonely man and the lonely child that Mrs. Root flurriedly entered the library of Chillingsworth, where Orth happened to be alone. "Oh, sir," she exclaimed, "I must go home.
They all need me, if only to keep them together three girls unmarried and out in the world, and three boys just a little inclined to be wild. There is another point, sir I don't exactly know how to say it." "Well?" asked Orth, kindly. This American woman thought him the ideal gentleman, although the mistress of the estate on which she visited called him a boor and a snob.
Heaven knew he was national enough in everything else, from his accent to his lack of repose; let his surroundings be in keeping. Orth had left the United States soon after his first successes, and, his art being too great to be confounded with locality, he had long since ceased to be spoken of as an American author.
"No," replied Orth, turning cold. "How did you know it?" "One day I touched a spring in the frame, and this picture came forward. Shall I show you?" "Yes!" And crossing curiosity and the involuntary shrinking from impending phenomena was a sensation of aesthetic disgust that he should be treated to a secret spring.
Von Olenschlager, a member of the Frauenstein family, a Schoeff, and son- in-law of the above-mentioned Dr. Orth, a handsome, comfortable, sanguine man. In his official holiday costume he could well have personated the most important French prelate. After his academical course, he had employed himself in political and state affairs, and directed even his travels to that end.
