A singular old lady was the late Betsy
Williams, who recently died, and left her
whole estate to the city of Providence. the
value OF said estate being estimated at
S2,O00,000. She was so tidy that she COM
PEELED all her visitors to take off their shoes.
She thought George Washington and Roger
Williams-the last-named being her an
cestor-the greatest men that ever lived;
and none of her guests were permitted to
sit in presence of any Of her numerous por-
traits of the Rev. Roger, not one of them
being, presumably, in the least authentic.
The religious belief of Betsy was extra
ordinary even in this age of miscellaneous
faith. She maintained family altar, upon
which, every morning after breakfast, three
inverted cups were placed, which she called
1.-The trinity of holy tea leaves" and these
she consulted for an hour daily as oracles.
Not clearly of "a sound and disposing
mind" most people would say; and SO say
her heirs at law

We care not who he be SO he is a MAN.
Gen. Scales is our preference. But right
here Let Us say that the man who served bis
country in the late war, If he be otherwise
qualified, isthe riglt man. 1t is all bosh
aboat his not taking bis seat Ifhe isnot
banned there is no danger II all. And
there are plenty worthy and able men
who made good soldiers that can take their
seat We go for It on principle. While
there's an old soldier to put on the tapis,
we shall strenuously oppose a preference
given to Judge this or Hon. that, simply
because he holds four years record Of
peace and artful dodging in hishand. We
havn't forgotten that war, and it will take
the trump of Gabriel and an insight into
Eternity to make US forget it.

The erminc Of the judiciary in this State
is very sadly worn. We notice in d recent
court held by Judge Watts in Pitt county
q pleasant little war IF words between His
Honor and the prisoner at the bar The
Judge sentenced him to three years in the
Penitertiary. The prisoner promised to
meet him in hell Judge smiled and said
take him out Judge slept on il and had
prisoner hauled up before him next day.
Then the Judge made his joke. Sentenc-
cd prisoner to ten years, and smiled and
said, Now, gentlemen, have exhausted
the rof the Judiciary Prisoner still
persevered in wanting to meet the Judge
in he'll. Evident that the prisoner, any
how. thought the Judge filter for hell than

ENTERPRISE.

II is enterprise what is needed in this

A political excitement that ! entirely de-
pendent upon such stimulus as personal de-
traction and slander and that knows no well
defined point Of difference save social and
sectional hate will eat like Ilcctic flush

II is an evil omen Of tho enterprise Of
community when is men Of wealth are on

ssyET 1Ss CIVIL SERVICE. so
An earnest desire has been felt to correct
abuses which have grown up in the civil
service Of the country through the defective
method OF making appointments to Office.
Heretofore Federal Offices have been regard
ed too much as the reward Of political service.
Under authority Of Congress rules have been
established to regulate the tenure Of Office
and the mode Of appointments.
1t cannot be expected that any system of
rules can be entirely effective, and prove a
perfect remedy for the existing evils, Until
they baTe been thoroughly tested by actual
practice and amended according to the re-
quirements Of the service: During my terri
OF office it shalt be my earnest endeaSor to
so apply the rules as to secure the greatest
possible reform In the civil service of the
Government, but it Will require the direct
action Of Congress to render the enforce
ment of the system binding upon my sue
cessors; and ] hope that the experience of
the past year, together with appropriate le.
gislati5n l,s Congress, may reach satisfac-
tory solution Of this Question and secure to
the public service for All time practical ME-
thod of obtaining faithful and efficient Off
GERS and employees. B.S. GRANT.
