The CIVIL SERVICE BILL.-AmOng the res
olutions passed at the first annual meeting of
the National Manufacturers Association held
at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 9th of last month,
was the following:
ResolUed That we heartily approve the Civil
Service Bill of Hon. Thomas A. Jenckes, now
before Congress, as well and wisely adapted to
remedy the great evils in our revenue and 9TH
er civil departments caused by incapacity and
fraud and to place men more competent and
reliable in positions of honor and trust, and
hope it may become law in due time.
The National Trade Convention now in ses-
sion at Philadelphia will hardly overlook the
Importance of this measure to the commercial
property of the country. The manufacturing
and commercial interests are now well repre-
scented by natural and local organizations, and
their efforts in the direction of their particular
purposes have been rewarded with consider
able success, either actual or prospective. The
manufacturers by their persistent importuni-
ties have had the tax on their productions re-
moved "a concession to them on the part of
the government of some sixty millions of dol
lars. 1t is due to the efforts of the mercantile
interest that there is a probability of removal
of the burdens that so seriously affect ship
building. 1t is due in some measure to the
same men that the tax on raw cotton has been
removed. The agricultural interest and the
different branches of mechanical industry are
not so well organized, but are not without
some modes of association. Each in its own
particular field can do much to promote its
own prosperity by securing favorable legisla-
ton. But the reform in the civil service is
npna in uub how oil llu into fad
1t is the generic reform, and there ought not
to be so much as an agricultural fair held in
the country that does not declare in favor of
immediate action in that direction. We hope
that before any agricultural fair is held all that
is wished in this respect may be accomplished,
but the probabilities are otherwise

tuition and laws. And that, as citizens of
South Carolina, we declare our willingness,
when we have the power, TO grant them, with

NEW CAUSE OF CoNsUMPTloN.-At the late
meeting of the Eclectic Medical Society, DR..
Robert Newton of New York said he did not
believe in the generally received opinion of
the public that consumption is hereditary
He believed that Incompatible tempers in the
marriage relation were conducive to that dis
ease, as well as its being induced by excite
ment or direct causes. Many children die of
consumption, whose parents are perfectly
healthy otherwise, and instances which have
come under his own observation and expert
ence were given to prove the truth of his as
sertion.

A SINGULAR CASE.-There has been consid-
cradle excitement in Bar Mills for the past
two or three days ON account of supposed
robbery of U. s. Bonds from the house of Mr.
Isaac Davis, who resides ON the Hollis side of
the river, in that village. The bonds, with the
interest, amounted in all to about $4,000; the
savings of almost a life times hard labor in a
saw mill. Mr.. Davis had come to Portland
the day previous for the purpose of collecting
some interest that was due, and after return
ing, had seen the money deposited in its usual
place-the upper drawer of bureau in his
sleeping room-together with two other pock-
et-books, each containing money to some
amount. The next morning he went to his
work at the usual time, and his daughter being
called away his wife, an invalid lady, was the
only person left in the house. At s o'clock
Mrs. d. went back of the house to get some
greens, and during her absence it was left va
cant. After returning she thought she would
go out to make few calls, and as was her
ont to do, went to the drawer for the purpose
of removing the money to better hiding
place-between the feather and straw beds.
What was her surprise on looking, to find that
the morocco case inclosing the bonds was miss
Ing. VI course InlS was great sHock W Ine
other members of the family when they arriv-
ed home, and they Immediately set to work
ransacking the house, and looking in every
place where it was possible for the money to
be put. The neighbors came in and the search
was repeated, but no trace could be discover
ed In the morning Mr.. D. was advised to
come to Portland and consult detective. He
called at the Marshals office, and in the after
noon Deputy Marshal Irish went out to inves-
tigate the matter. He come to the conclusion,
upon examination, that the house was not en-
tered in the night time, and said that if the
money had been taken away it must have
been done while Mrs. Davis was in the garden.
But he could not believe, taking everything
into consideration, that the money was not in
the house, and accordingly made some further
search yesterday morning before starting for
Portland in the $50 train. About an hour af-
ter he had gone Miss Davis, in making up the
bed in the room where the money is always
kept, heard something drop on the floor, and
looking saw the identical morocco case laying
there, and opening it found everything all
right. 1t was a time of general rejoicing
throughout the village when it was known
that the money had been found, but it is a
mystery how it could have been overlooked so
