recommended presumably efficient and merto-
rlous subordinate for promotion, according to
the rules of the service. Is there single Re-
publican left so naive so abjectly and super
sttiously credulOus, as to believe the Presi-
dent has the slightest respect for that farce OF
Civil Service Reform which did so much last
year to gain him the votes of men more
honest than perspcaciousl
II is n story too wretched for attack and too
pitiful for derision. When we remember with
what JOY the proposition for the reform was
greeted with what enthusiasm the able and
too candid Commissioners began their work;
how Indignantly they defended the President
against the insnuations of those who thought
they saw the trick; with what touching
naiyet6 these amiable and genial puppets
danced at the touch of the string which was
patent TO half the world one is in danger OF
acquiring sort of contempt for honesty and
sort of admiration for fraud. What robust
and stalwart faith it was 1t swallowed Casey

seemed TO rely upon the stupid proyerb OF
exceptions proving the rule, and every time
the rule was violated and the Board slapped
in the face, the more ingenious grew the JUS
tifcations and the more noisy their loyalty to
the President. But at last it became too evil
dent that this hysteric confidence masked
an uneasy spirit The President of the Board
suddenly resigned, without any adequate I'M
mediate cause. His dithyrambic defenses OF
the system ceased in mid career. Another
gentleman, equally able, patriotic, and unsus-
picous, took up the dishonored task, and has
held to it through much of evil and little OF
good report. The proud boast of the school

believe. though Butler is the viceroy of the
Administration in Massachusetts,, Murphy in

in Illinois, and the little finger of each OF
these politicians in each of these noble com
monwealths is heavier than the loins OF the
Civil Service Board, with all its past, present,
and future Presidents.

The first backslider who cuts any prominent
figure IN literature is Sisyphus, and all that have
followed him are equally wearisome aud discour-
aging TO contemplate The predominance OF per
verse blood over acquired grace is a circumstance
which continually defeats the best efforts OF the
saint, and would wear out the unfnching endurance
of IN insurance agent. Here IS recent case OF a
peculiarly exasperatng character. Our readers viii
remember that at the time of the Abyssnan war
there was great comfort and announcement taken
over the fact that the throne of King Theodore,
vacated by English bullets was to he filled by the
young and deyout Prince Kassa. We beard great
deal of the exemplary disposition of this young
sovereign aud reioiced beforehand in the blossom
ing of the wilderness, which was to take place under
hts mild reign. We DO not think any one win be
pleased to hear of his latest performance. He cap
tured Abba Kassai, rival Prince, some time ago,
stuffed his ears with gun-cotton, and blew his head
into atoms. This was not precisely what we might
look for from even a private Christian gentleman
much less from an anointed monarch.
