,iation j. far more uncertain in tone. For
instance. what can lie more conciiia;ory than
this passsge:
"ToarRue that the spiritual prerence OF our
dear Lord in the holy communion Tor the
nurture of the faithful is such 4 presence as
allows worship to him thus and there pres

For the objects Of this holy sacrament, as
therein revealed, are first, the memorial be

and secondly, the strengthening and refresh

no one can fail to see that it is impossible Tor
the common mind to draw the line between
the worship Of such an undefned and mys'

Two carpenters engaged in the constr,lc-
ton Of building at Ninth and Market
streets, in which the floors have not YET
been laid, got to fighting yesterday while
standing on the jois,s, nearly fifty feet above
the ground. McMains, one Of them, knocked
down G. A. Carter, the other, with club.
He fell across the jOists and was held there
by McMains, who beat him terribly with a
piece of wood. He came very near falling
to the ground, which would probably have
resulted in his death.
After the figh, had progressed for come
minutes, Carter was asked if he was satisfied,
which he replied that he was not. The an
tagonists, then, by mutual consent, adjourned
the battle for a few moments that they might
descend to terra tirma and fight it ont, while
their comrades Immediately gathered round
and urged them to make peace. Both Of
them had fought stubbornly, though Carter
was considerably the worse of. Arguments
and persuation failed to reconcile the infuri-
ated men, and they went down into the street
and commenced pitched battle with
rocks. They had hurled but one or Two
missiles at each other, when they were
promptly arrested and placed in Twelfth
street station house by officer Westby. They
were released soon afterward on bail. and
Carter went to physician and had his
wounds dressed. He was awfully bruised.
The difficulty is said to have originated in
a dispMte about the width Of plank. A
more dangerous place for fight could not
have been selected, as misstep might have
precipitated both o. them to the ground, fifty
feet below, and in the fall they would have
struck against obstacles which would have
injured them seriously if not futally.-Louis-
rifle Courier.

Well, the editor arrived at home that day

to arm himself with double-barreled fow-

the Office, followed by an immense crowd.
The assistant editor was busy at the time
painting big placard to be tackled on the

clerk in the Office has standing orders to

rmE CIVIL NERVICE Reform,

The civil service commissioners hope to be
able to lay before the President during the
present week an outline of the rules and reg
al.iions by which they propose to reform
the civil service of the government. The
four leading PRINCIPLES Of their scheme may
be briefly stated to be, first, admission 10 the
civil service at the lowest point, with com
petitive examination at every grade; second,
proh.tion; third, promotion; fourth, no fixed
tenure, the power of removal being left Prac-
t;cslly undisturbed, and the advantages Of
nexibility and direct responsibility which are
claimed for the present system retained.
VERY much still remains :or the commission
10 do in the perfectioa of details and organi-
xssion Of the new modes OF appointment and
service which they hope to introduce, but
they have substantially agreed on the above
fundamental doctrines, which, firmly estab-
lished, will 60 far TO mark out the work of
The future. II is not intended to include all
If the government Offices without dis
examination in this revised system, but the
great mass ofthe patronage and Office, which
nov forms % prolific source of evil and
corruption will be entirely within the field Of
In operafiOn.

before trusting it. Ii thermometer is not

be made in the usual wav, then try We. sim

mentioned in our columns. Pour small
quantity into a saucer or other shallow dish,
and pass lighted match near the surface Of
the oil If you detect any small BLUSH
flashes or pufa, or If the vapor takes fire,
then, in either case, the oil is dangerous and
unfit for Use. 3 sure and always have both
the dish and the oil at as warm a tempera-

An Uxr.EJUDICED STATEMENT.

The Ku-Klu1 suppression movement, says
Q cotempory, in South Carolina, according
to the local papers Of that State, differs very
mattel tally from the reports Of it published
under glaring headlines in the Democratic
papers Of the country. The widespread COM
motion that has been occasioned, is almost
entirely among the lawless fraternity, and
the hundreds that have fled the State or are
hiding in liz mountains, are those who either
were engaged in ku-Klux raids, or we're
privy to them. The government has deter
mined to put an end to the disorders, and to
sruh out the insurrectionary khan, utterly
and finally. To this end IT will use, if neo-
enary, extreme measures. If some wrong
and injustice shall grow out Of the govern
ment's proceedings, as is almost inevitable,
the people will have the klans alone to blame
for it. The foolish attempts at secrecy have
unfortunately and perplexingly involved
alike the innocent and guilty.

We wish We could more charitably charac-
terise the address Of Gen. Blair at Mouigon-
cry, which We publish this morning. He
depicts the Chicago disaster, the hundreds
of plunderers that dOcked thither, and The
nations beni6cence to the sufferers. Then
he sketches the miseres of the South during
and in consequence of the war, and tells his
auditors that no such beni6cence was enlisted
by her unhappiness, while the rogues SWARM
ed 10 rob her OF the little left to her. This
stroke accomplished the speakers object, by
capturing his hearers, to whom such paral
lei implied everything they could wish in
.olitical champion, and all the more so be-
the war, that it cursed the whole land, that
the nation furnished the victims, that North
ern homes were desolated and Northern for
tunes wrecked in the struggle, and that the
nations beniicence WAS exerted both during
and after the war to assuage its horrors even
in the South. General Blair ISLANDERS his
countrymen and fslsifes history to
win Southern approval. He then opposes,
As politician who is Southern favorite
should, the advice of Wade Hampton and
Others, that the Southern Democrats ought
not to 60 into the National Democratic Con-
ventiOn, and his arguments herein are sound.
The South ought 10 60 in. He again rejects
for himself the new departure, but is willing
to take all the votes it can bring. He prefers u
Republican nominee-he ssys-for his party,
but is against ''the passive policy" His
view il that the Democratic convention
should name the "Republican"-and in this
does our Blair show his usual cunning; for
oply thus could such q candidate hope Tor
anything like an effective Democratic support.
Next does the General wax magnanimous to
the citizens Of foreign birth, predicting that
they will cast some half q million of votes
for his nominee. Schurz commands the pro-
fourdea homage Of Blair. and is pictured as
holding the German vote in the hollow Of his
hand, to be given to the Democratic candi-
date. That Immaculate pessonaee proclaims
himself an inconuptible Republican, and
Blair embraces him - IN uuimpeachable
Democrat. Louis Denoraf.

There are some phases Of the great calamity
which fell upon this region last week worthy
of scientific investigation. The testimony Of
the cooler headed survivors of the fires At

say that the fire did not come upon them
gradually from burning trees and other OBJ
iects to the windw,rd, but tire 6rst notice
thew had of il was . whirlWind Of fame, in
great clouds, from above the tops ofthe trees,
which fell upon and developed everything.
The atmosphere seemed one of fire. The
poor people inhaled it, or the intensely hot
air. and fell down dead. This is verified by
the appearance of many of the corpses. They
were found dead in the roads and open spaces,
where there were no visible marks Of FIRE
near by, With not trace of burning upon
their bedies or clothing. At the Sugar Bush,
which . an extended clearing, in some place
four miles in width, corpses were in the open
road, bstveen fences which were only slightly
burned. No mark Of Gre was upon them,
but they laid there - If asleep. This phe-
nomena seems to explain the fact that 90
