macdonald and Burns.

Lucy Larcom thus speaks of George Mac
Donald after she had heard his lecture on Rob
ert Burns, in Boston:
Aside from the enthusiasm which his works
had already awakened, although, perhaps, as
sisted by it, certain homelike understanding
seem,d at once to be established between the
speaker and his audience, which gave the vast
auditorium the atmosphere Of a genial winter
evening freside. To our thinking, George
Macdonald is one of the best illustrations OF
the ideal lecturer. Simple, NATURAL with a
capacity to rambe and certainty Of returning
to the main track. and above all, with power
of sympathy with his subject and his audience
and everything that can concern them it is like
hearing YOUR own better-self utter its best to
lirten to him Certainly it seemed 80 while he
talked of Robert Burrs."

Mr.. II. s. Eckert, of Reading, whose reported
statements. sent to the New York Times. we
quoted few days ago, says he has been entirely
misunderstood on at least two important points
The first ia the cost OF making ton Of pig metal
The correspondent quoted him as placing it at
from $19 to s17. But Mr.. Eckert asserts that
the ore ITSELF for ton Of iron, (215 tons ore, at
S7l is Sl7 90, and that when the coal, limestone,
labor, and expense account, are added, there is
no extraordinary margin, even in this spirited
condition of the trade" He also says that Eng
land still ships iron to this county-"all she can
and that her scarcity of fuel is a worse trouble
u her than eoarcity Of ores.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Opposition to the New Ruls. Ds,sloplnu.

Especial Dispatch to the New York Tlmes.l
WARRINGTON. Nov. 1S.-The signs Of the times
point to sharp attack in Congress in the new
civil service appointment machinery. There
is a class OF politicians who have boldly opposed
The principle Of separating the civil appoint
ments from party influences, and who are earn
estly demanding the continuance Of the spoils
system. They submitted to have reform inserted
in the Philadelphia platform and preached, du-
ring the canvas, but all the time made a men
tai protest against any reform which should pre-
vent them from rewarding their friends and
Furnishing their enemies by extending or with
holding the patronage Of the Government.
Now that the election is over, increased oppo-
sition is arising.
It is undoubted that an attempt will be made
in Congress to repeal all the legislation there
has been on the subject. Just what quarter the
proposition will come from is uncertain. The
election has rendered the friends Of the
measure stronger than ever, and they
have the advantage Of an appeal to the platform
on whith the party triumphed. The large ma
jorities in several States, instead OF being held
to be demand for great share in the peddling
OF petty offices, is looked upon as giving the
President great freedom and Independence, for
nowhere can any man be put forward and have
his claims presented as the one to whom any
particular result ought to be attributed.
