A bill is now being prepared for submission
to Congress, with view to effect readjust-
ment of the salaries of bureau officers in the
civil service 1t is claimed that, while bureau
officers in the army discharging similar duties
to those of bureau officers in the civil service,
with few exceptions, receive $1,000, the bureau
officers in the civil service receive the salaries
as fixed by law in lsl7-$3,0O0. It is further
claimed that this amount is inadequate. Every
salary" that is not an excessively large one,
is now a-days, pronounced inadequate.

The Auditor of Public Accounts recommends
further tax on whiskey, and refers to the fact
that the revenue theretrom constitutes large
portion of the income of the Federal Govern
ment. The Lynchburg Virginian approves
the suggestion for the reason that ''Whiskey
will bear taxing better than anything else it
knows of; and, besides, large portion of the
expense incurred by the State, and the coun-
ties thereof, in prosecuting criminals, and sus-
tanning paupers and insane, is due to this evil.

RAILROAD AccIDENT-On Wednesday
morning, freight train OF the Richmond and
Danville railroad, ran off the track between
Jetersville and Amelia Court House, smashing
aud demolishing four Of the cars and so piing
them on and about the track as to prevent the
passage of the regular through mail from
Greensboro.
The passengers and baggage going both ways
had to be transferred around the wreck. The
train ran off in a cut fortunately no one was
injured. The cars will have to be burned,
more than likely, as to remove them would re-
quire time and labor more valuable than the
wreck. The train which left this morning for
Lynchburg will necessarily be detained as we'll
as the Lynchburg train coming East. The &C
cident was caused BY the pulling out OF bump
err. which fell beneath the wheels throwing
the cars from the track.-Rtch. .jo"r"aL

PRESENCE OF MIND.-We often read of in
stances of extraordinary presence of mind, but
one occurred the other day little ahead Of any
thing we have seen or heard Of lately. A bright
little fellow son of the mistress Of u we'll known

at Lake View, N. j.. when he broke through
the ice. As be vent down, the probabilities
were rather against his coming up again
alive, and the lad realising this and wishing to
have the intelligence conveyed directly home,
shouted out, as he was disappearing, the street
and number of his residence! Fortunately, he
was rescued, and the world may yet anticipate
much from this precocons youth. - '"n'h

WEARING FLANNEL. majority Of pco-
ple are not aware of the beneficial effects OF
wearing flannel next to the body, both in cold
and warm weather. Flannel is not so uncom-
Portable in warm weather as prejudlced people
believe Frequent colds and constant hacking
coughs have left me since adopting flannel
garments. There is no need Of great bulk
about the waist, which condemns the wear
ing of flannel with those whs prefer wasp
waists to health, for in that case the flannel
can be cut as loosely fitting waists, always
fastening at the back. There are scarcely
any Of the bad effects Of sudden changes of
weather felt by those who wear flannel gar
ments and mothers especially, should en-.
deavor to secure such for their little people, in
preference to all those snowy outside trim
mings which fashion commends.

shrub resides the Malice who
looks after the grounds. The thief
sat down in the shadow of the bush ana
proceeded to pick the lock. The lock,
however. was the spring to set the
wheels going, so that all of sudden the
Mortified thief heard his jewel case be-

jumped up, flung the bewitched box
into the bush and fed. Meanwhile the
Malice woke, listened-yes-his bush
was resonant with sweet sounds. He
sat up; cold perspiratlon burst ont upon
him: the bush which he had attended
from its twighOod, which he had
watched with all Mallee's pride, was
certainly bede"iled. The tune stopped-
click, click-and then began "NIabel
Nalse." This was too much for the
Malice, who fled from the accursed spot
TO the police inspector. Swiftly the
pair returned to the garden, cautiously
approached the tree Just i'm time to hear
the musical box, which had now gone
through his repertoire, rattle off the last
bar of comic song. The inspector re-
cOgnized the sound, dived into the bush.
and extracted the musical box.-Pioneey
