days TO live and wished to prepare for death.
His request was complied with and he resumed

A Healthy Locality.

Beyond Montyalc is Happy Valley, n tract of
country, which, if accounts of its healthfulness
be true,-and, situated between the mountains,
who can doubt il ?-is the place for people who
and if Ponce dc Leon had known its location,
he never would have wasted his time in seeking
the mythical fountain of youth in the everglades
of Florida. Only one death has occurred dur
ing the last twelve years; and that was from old
Valley, beside which the virtues and advant-
ages Of "Araby the blest'' sink into insignif-
canoe.

THE CIVIL SERVICE TEST.

The sincerity of General Grant in carry
ing out the civil service rules was put to
the severest test on Saturday last. A large
delegation of the most influential character
in Pennsylvania, headed by Senator Came
ron and Gov. Hartranft, called upon the
President and asked the appointment of
Mr.. Truman, prominent and active Re-
publican, as postmaster of Philadelphia, in
place of General Bingham, resigned. Gen.
Grant listened patiently to the arguments
of the delegation in behalf of Mr.. Truman,
but firmly refused to set aside the rules.
His reply indicated that the office would be
filled by promotion as required by the civil
service code. This decision will probably
give the office to Mr.. Fairman, the accom-
plished clerk and treasurer of the office.
This action of the President will be COM
mended by the great body of the people.
1t is in harmony with his past action, and
the assurances he and his friends gave the
country during the late canvass. We hope
to see the opposition give due credit, and
retract their charge that the civil service
professions were only blind to catch votes.
The Richmond Dispatch does this in a
manly way. II says:
But we are gratifed at this proof of General
Grants sincere disposition to maintain his plan
of civil service reform The whole country will
be pleased to see that he does not mean to sur
render himself wholly to party. There Is iome-
thing due to the country and to mankind higher
and holer than that which is due to party.
We rejoice that General Grant, at this late
day, when the prophecies of official life are
go loose, should put a decided check upon thu
spoilsmen, and make such an effort to bring
back the rules of official appointments TO a
more Just and healthy condition.
