POLITICAL MOVEMENTS AND VIEWS


The Fun of the Proposed Civil Service Re-
form.
The Louisville Courier. Journa, suggests that the
following be included among the questions to be
put to aspirants for service In the civil branch OF
the government by the proposed Board OF Examin-
Ing Pedag0gues:-
l. Who Is your candidate for the Presidency
2 How much OF your salary as Postmaster do you
think you could contribute TO secure his re-elec-
D. Can You swear that you are physically strong
enough TO work like dray horse In his behalf from
now until the polls close?
A. About now many votes could you make for
your candidate by working In That wayY
how many times did you vote for the present noble
CHIEF Executive in 1865, and do you think you could
do 1t again in 1872?
g. II the administration should happen some time
or another to need hrst-class witness In Ku kux
case do you suppose you could remember what 1t
would be necessary Tor you TO swear TO on the occa
sl0nY
T. When you shall have found that you are a de.
fau tier to the government in very considerable
amount, you VIII understand, won't yOu that you
must keep the TACT concealed from the democratic
press, and that, II the thing should leak out In
spite OIL US. you must pay for the whltewash your
Beli1
s. In case 1t should chance to occur to you at no
distant day that 1t would be eninently proper for
you to forward a Durham colt or Berkshire calf a
terrier pig or Shangnae pup-or all four OF them,
as the case may be-tO certain $4,000 farm near
st. Louis, whose gifted proprietor Is not wholly
connected with the Executive Mansion at the pre-
sent time, are you quite sure You would remember
to snip with great care pay the expressage and
all other charges on the shipmentP
9. In conclusion, how much change do you hap
pen to have about your clothes, and do you think
you could borrow enough here to take you homer
Ia. And, finally, where did we understand you to
say that you keep your liquor ana cigarsf
The man VINO knows enough about opening, shut
ting up and distributing the mails TO answer All
questions to the satisfaction OF an examining
board thoroughly in accord with the present adj.
ministratlOn would make q postmaster OF whom
that administration would Justly be proud.

DRIVEN TO DEATH.
A Mother POisons Herself and Child.


A gentleman from West Liberty informed us yes
terday OF terrible tragedy which occurred on sun
day morning last, near that town. Living three
miles from the city, on the Springdale road, was
German farmer, named Deltef NOlslen. He was
living with his third wife, the mother Of two chill
dren whlle several children OF the former wives
were also members OF the family. The latter and
the step-mothcr kept the house In o state OF con-
slant turmol-and It Is SAID the woman was sub.
jected to all sorts OF abuse ana that her two little
received nothing but cruel treatment from the
hands OF NOsiens older children. Why the hus-
band permitted these deeds Is not known. One day
last week Mrs. Nolslen procured some strych-
nine at a store In West Liberty, and on Satur-
day told her husband that she had rather die
than endure such lie as she had led In his house.
ON sunday morning, during N0lsen's absence, q
quarrel arose between the wife and the step. chll-
dren again. she had boy Jour or five years Old.
She gave the child piece OF bread and then took
MN TO her bedroom telling the other children that
they would be sorry for their conduct. In q few
minutes groans ana CRIES came from Mrs. Nosien's
room, and one OF the elder girls went to see what
the matter was. she found the woman and her son
both writing IN agony and then, with the other
children Ned 10 the neighbors for help. They were
gone but a few minutes; but when they returned
The boy was dead and the woman went into spasms
which soon terminated IN death. she mad given
the child stry Gimme on the bread and then taken
dose herself. Her other child, babe, was asleep IN
q CRIB. Thus she ended her trouble and that OF her
boy, out whether the sep-cnildren were 'sorry" or
not Is question. the a1air created great excite
lnent In the netghb0rho0d. as NAV be supposed.
