IT is now announced hat as soon as pfac-
ticable after the organization of the Civil
Service Commission by the acceptance of the
appointments of Messrs. Eaton and Shella-
barger, the rules prepared by the old commits
sion will be 80 modified as to enlarge the
authority of the appointing power, and posi-
bly, give greater scope to the discretion of the
heads of departments and others in the selec-
ton of subordinates -. Senator Sumner con-
tinues to improve slowly, and his prescribing
physician, DR.. Brown-Sequard, who was re-
Gently in Washington, has strong hopes of his
entire recovery. The Senator is still prohibited

REPORTS from San Salvador state that the
authorities still persist in rebuilding the city
on the same site, although this is the eighth

stroyed. Most of the people, nevertheless,
have removed to Santa Tecla. The only build
ing that stood the shocks without the least in
jury was a building erected of timber. The
impulse at present is to import timber from
California, for the construction of such earth
quake-proof houses. Aid and money have
been rendered and sent from all parts of the
Republic. Everything has risen to exorbitant
prices. TIL United States Consulate was q
mass of ruins inside. though the walls were
standing. Mr.. Biddle, United States Minister,
with his five little ones, had a narrow escape.
During two days three officers remained in
San Salvador, and they felt light shocks.
In some places the ground cracked a
foot wide and very deep. At every shock
all the cocks in the place began to crow,
and pigeons whirled about wildly in the air
The English visitors think it is tempting
Providence to rebuild the city again on the
same spot. The crust below is evidently a
mere shell. The ear placed close to the ground
hears a noise like running water, and the fall
OF q heavy stone produces a hollow sound.
The Indians would never build on this site -.
