gau' affect much horror at The evils oil our
present system so Tar as they are Illustrated
in the federal administration. But two things
are conspicuous in their attltude-hrst' that
the worst developments OF the eN'I service
under Democratic rule, receive no criticism

no favor for the only practical and elective
remedy which consists in the idea embodied
under the name of Civil Service Reform.

homeopathic, 29Gl; hydropathic, 1873 &C.

prosecuting heavy Greek claim against TIA,
Government of Egypt Of having an enter
taiument Of naked dancing girls provide,
for himself and friends while travelling
/ through the country. This is an age of pro
fuse accusation. But these scnndalous charge
come from a responsible source, and cannot
be overlooked Should they prove true
Butler had better remain in Egypt in a pri
vate capacity.
"A serious complication has arisen be
tween Germany aud England, and severe dis
