va. uanumd> om civil Service.

In TIE Senate, On Thursday, during
"a discussion on The Civil Service Re-
tonu Bill, gave vent t. his view in
the folIo"j0@ bit Of Sarcasm:
Mr. ElmunJs Thought it very rcmar-
kabl" for the wisdom Of tin. cuuntry
supposed 10 be concentrated in Con
grps,. having last year deliberately pass
ed law authorizing the President 10
make this experiment in civil service re-
form, To threaten 10 abandon the effort
and repeal the law just as soon rs an at
tempt Wa made to put 1t into practical
operation. He fully agreed with those
who denounced this civil service reform
as a humhug and cncrOachment upon
the rights Of the people, for his own
rights had been most fundamentally in
frin@pd on. In the good old times.
when hcWent tOthc department and asked
to have Smith or Jones appointed to
Office, because he was a friend of his or
because he had worked hard to make
him Senator or some equally good rca-
son. the matter was generally arranged
satisfactorily without any impairment
questions as to the fitness of the appH-
cant for the place, but now. when he
approached the head Of the department
on the same errand, he was told that his
recommendation was no longer sufficient
to secure an appointment; that the Pre-
sIdCnt had taken the matter out Of the
hands of the members of Congress, and
their applicants were now required to
undergo the examination as a test of
their fitness for the places they sought.
as if there could be any better proof of
a mans fitness for any office than that
he had helped to elect Senators.
Laughter In this way he (Edmunds)
was stripped of the felicitous Importance
he formerly enjoyed, brought down to
the common level and compelled to
stand upon his own merits alone. Of
course he felt this a gross outrage.
Laughter He spoke only for himself.
He was only stating his own grievances,
but he knew that his fellow Senators
would sympathize with him. laugh
ter. 1t is painful fact, however. that
in this country there were a great many
persons who thought differently.-pe0-
pie who were neither candidates for
Office nor followers of candidates: peo-
pie who did not appreciate the merits
and claims of the managers of primaries
and other political bodies, and who
thought that postmasters ought to know
how to write and keep accounts, and
ought to understand arithmetic. Nobo-
dy could see more clearly thanhe did the
folly of all this, But as these unreason-
able people were unfortunately in great
majority, and as it was their business
the officers of the government were paid
to do, and their money that was to be
collected and spent, he feared that they
would have their way. Laughter
Mr. Carpenter protested for himself
against Mr.. Edmunds' statement of the
feelings and motives of the opponents of
civil service reform.
Mr.. Edmunds said that he might have
overdrawn the picture little, but, in
substance, it was true to nature

| town OF steady habits may not be un-
welcome to you. We were beginning
to look for spring as March came in,
when all of sudden the mercury went
down to 20 degrees below zero, and all
our bright hopes were frozen as stiff as
they would have been on the summit of
Mount Washington.
1t has been remarkably healthy III
Orwell the past winter, only one death has
occurred since the year began. and once
we opened through the frozen sod a cold
house of reception for one of our former
citizens, Mrs. Mary Rust, who returned
to sleep the sleep of death, in her native
town by the side of her departed hus-
band, after pilgrimage Of 80 years.
We have to relate very serious ac-
cident which occurred last week Satur-
day. Mr.. Geo. Bascom, one of our pro
missing young men, was so severely
kicked by a horse, that for few days
his life seemed doubtful. Two of his
ribs were broken, beside other internal
INJURIES He suffered intensely for sew
cral days, but is now thought to be out
Of danger.
Our town meeting passed off quiet
ly. Very nearly the same board of Off
GERS were elected that served the town
last year. The matter of 4 graded
school was introduced, but no action was
taken.
We have been blessed with good
sleighing for several weeks, and it still
continues
The Addison County Temperance
Society will hold a convention in town,
on Tuesday, 10Th inst. Prof Weber,
of Middlcbury College, is expected to
address the convention.
Considerable hay has been shipped
from town. by way of our new railroad,
during the winter. Still we think we
have enough left to carry our stock

tits singular how this travelling wakens
one up. Things that have seen at home
and In former parts Of my travels, one by
one fall into their places, become local.
'lzed, and receive % home In my mind.
Take merschaum pipes Tor example; they
are smoked by every one, and with US
they are very expensive. Pass through
to this side oil the water, come down here
to Italy, and on the shores Of the Adriatic
Is where the sea foam Is picked up and
turned into pipes. Here the poor boys
smoke pipes that would cost with us from
five to ten dollars, and thestores sell them
exquisitely carved for o mere song, that
with US would cost fifty dollars, and are
but seldom seen. I am in favor Of a pro.
tective tariff; but one would like to take
them home as presents. It Is hard to
think Of the price as nearly doubling,
from the tax put on them. Not only does
our country impose duty, but this govern
ment taxes them when they are carried
out, and Germany and England search for
them most thoroughly.
This Is the reason why articles made Of
Russian leather cost so much In the
States. Vienna makes these wares a
specially, but imposes feartully on any
shipments.. As ! say, though, by this
travelling we find where most everything
belongs And just as the most stupid
person cannot come over here and move
about, and 60 home without knowing
more, so the wisest can come and add to
their knowledge in places least expected.
