CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The details of George William Curtis
plan for civil service reform have not yet
been made public; but ii is understood that
the report takes the ground that congress
has given the president all the power
needed to institute and carry out the pro-
visions of wise and efficient system for
the complete reconstruction Of our civil
service, and, moreover, that for any fail
ure to adopt and carry out such scheme
TIE president alone must be held response
bic. This puts very considerable respon-
sibility upon the shoulders Of the presi-
dent. Therefore, the cause of civil reform
rests in great part with Grant for its ad-
vancement. Can we expect anything
practical from him on the eve of another
national canvass, with himself candidate
for reelection

WHAr BEcoMEs on 4 DEAD HoRsE.

WHAT BECOMES OF DEAD HORSE. =
The Scientific american recently contain
ed an article on the uses to which dead
horses can be applied, in the course OF
which it is remarked that the animal
must be remarkable good one if he is
worth as much when alive as he is to the
retorts and kettles Of the chemist. As
Psoon as the horse is dead, his blood is
sought by the manufacturers of albumen,
and by sugar reiners, and the burners OF
lampblack. Not drop is allowed to go
to waste.
The name and tail are wanted for hair
cloth, sleeves, bow strings, and brushes.
The skin is converted into leather for
cart harness, for boots and shoes, and
strong collars The hoo:s are used for
combs, homework, glue, and in old times
were the chief source of hartshorn, now
obtained from the gas-house. The
flesh is boiled down in the rendering
vat, and much oil and fat is boiled from
it. Some of the choice bits may find
their way into cheap restaurants, and
play the part Of beefsteak, or help to
enrich the hasty plates of soup of these
establishments The flesh left after all

useful articles are manufactured, that it
is almost impossible to make cut a CON.
piete list of them. Among them are but
tons, toys. tweezers, knife handles, rulers,
cups, dominoes, balls, and the residue
from all these things is burnt into bone
black to be used by the sugar refner, who
puts in second claim on the dead
horse and some part of the bone-bl&ck
is burned white, to be used by the
assayers in testing gold; and when the
assayer and refncr have finished with it,
it is converted into super phosphate to
serve as q valuable manure on our land ;
the teeth are used as substitutes for
ivory and the iron shoes, if not nailed
over the door, to insure good fortune to
the household, are worked up into OK

CLEANLINESS neat, clean. fresh
aired, sweet, cheerful, well-arranged
house, exerts moral as we'll as physical
influence over its inmates. and makes the
members of a family peaceful and con-
siderate of each others feelings and hap
piness The connection is obvious
between the state ofmind thus produced
ana habits of respect for others, and for
those high duties and obligations no law
can enforce. On the contrary, filthy,
noxious, squalid dwelling, in which none
of the decencies of life can be observed,
contributes to make its inhabitants selfish,
sensual, and regardless of the feelings, of
others /; and the constant indulgence of
such passions renders them reckless and
brutal, and the transition is natural to
propensities and habits incompatible
with a respect for the property of others
or for the laws.
