We will attempt to give some idea OF the ter

18th Of November. This tide, which reached it's
greatest height On the coast Of Schelswig at
about o'clock at night, was the GREATEST ever

the great tide of 1864 by Is inches in height,
and That Of 1896 by SS inches. The

quite unaheltered. An inundation could not fail
to take place, against which ali human exertions
and precautions were utterly powerless. In the
small town Of Apenrode alone, 80 houses have
become unlnhabitable, and nearly $50 families
have not = roof oyer their heads. The
streets have been literally annihilated, while
many Of the buildings left standing are under

destroyed in Eckernforde cannot yet be ascer-
talned, but It will not fall short Of 100. Hun

saddening. On the Island OF Femarn the sea

The entire coast Of Western Pomerania and
the island Of Rugen, with its projecting penin-
eulas, and the smaller islands lying around it,
have also most severely suffered. The long and
nanow Island OF Hiddensoe, near Rngen,

THuRCoW WEED ON CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Special Dsspalch to The Chicago Tribune.
New YORK, Dec. 17.-Thur1ow Weed gives his
opinion Of Civil Service Reform in a communi-
cation in which he says:
The din raised in Congress and by Liberal
Republican and Democratic journals bewildered
and beguiled the public: so generally that the
Republican party WIS constrained to accept it as
an issue in the Presidential canvass, but now
the theory is about to be tasted. However
plausible as theory it will be found utterly i'm
practicable, or if it be carried into arbitrary
effect, it will occasion abuses far greater than
any we have hitherto experienced ANY attempt
to create privileged class, or to build up an
ofhce-holding aristocrac!y, will prove discredits-
bly, ahoItiTe. No stronger Illustration Of the IA
tuity Of the Civil Service ia needed than the
fact that neither the lnte Dean Richmond, nor
tion for subordinate Office in the Custom
House, Mr. Weed says the new Postmaster IN
Philade1phia had unusual capacity; but that the
present Government will find it impossible to
enforce the Civil Service regulations in any but
. small minority Of cases.
