No matter what General Grant may do, he
cannot, It seems satisfy the so-callcd indie
pendent press. At the present time the oh
jcctive point Of cavil and criticism ia the civil
service and tho appointments that have been
made from day to day during the last few
weeks. When, n' In the case of Mr.. Rich
ardson, an Assistant Secretary Is promoted to
he Secretary the independent newspapers cx-
claim that the rules do not apply to the Cab
met. When, rs In the case Of the surveyor
ship Of the port Of New York, a gentleman
who has exhibited incapacity In another de-
rartmcnt is given an important Office in
another branch Of the public service, the
howl Is raised that the rules have not been
obeyCd
We suspect that the motive Of all this ad-
verse criticism arises not so much from a de-
sire to sec the public service improved as to
sec special pets intrustcd with Office.

A PLEASANT SITUATION. Our young
friend Parker weut around the other evening
to visit the two Miss Smiths. After cOnvers-
ing with them for awhile, Miss Susan excnscd
herself for a few NOME nts and went up stairs.
Presently Parker thought he heard her com
ing, and slipping behind the door he suggest
ed that the other Miss Smith should Tell Mis-
Susa" that he had gone. But il wasn't Su-
san, it was old Mr.. Smith in his slippers. As
he entered he looked around and said 10 his
daughter:
"Ah, ha! So Parker's gone, has be {?

Just as he conclute ed, Susan came down,
ard not perceiving Parker, she said:
sThank goodness he S gone. That man is
enough to provoke saint. l was awiully
afraid he was going to stay and spend the
evening Mary Jane, hope you didn't ask
him to come again?'
Then Parker didn't know whether to stav
there or to bolt, while Mary Jane looked n,

Parker finally walked out. rushed to the en-

A SPIDERS Appetite.


In order to test what spider could do in
the way of eating, we arose about daybreak
one morning to supply his fine web with a
fly. At first, however, the spider did not
come from lis retreat, so we peeped among
the leaves, and there dis covered that an ear
wig bad been caught. and was now being
toasted on. The spider left the earwig.
rolled up the fly, and at once returned to his
s'frst COURSE" This was at half-past a. m.
in September. At : a. m. the earwig had
been demolished, and the spider, after rest
ing little while, and PROBABLY enjoying a
nap. came down for the fly, which he had
finished at 9 a. m. A little alter we sup
piled him with a daddy long-leps, which was
ealen by uoou. At o'cl OK blowfly was
greedily seized. and with an appetite, ap-
palently no worse for his pre-: ious indulgence,
he commenced on the blowhy. During the
day, and toward the vening, a great many
small green flies. or what are popularity
termed midges. had been caught in the web !;
of these we counted 120, all dead, and fast
prisoners in the spiders net. Soon after
dark, provided with lantern, we went 10
examine whether the spider was suffering
at all fr,m indigestion. or in any other way
IFOf1 us previous uediS, luSledu, however,
oil being thus affected, he was employed in
rolling up together the various little green
midge,, which he then took tc his retreat
and ate. Th S process he repeated, ca. rying
up the lot in little attachments, until the
whole web was eaten, for the web and its
contents were bundled up together. A
Slight rest of about an hour was followed by
the most industrious web-naking process,
and before daylight another web was ready
to be nsed in Lhe SAME way. Taking the rel
ative size of the spider and of the creatures it,
ate, and applying this to man, it would b.
somewhat as fellows: At daybreak. small
alligator was eaten; al a. M, lamb; at 8
a. M, young cimeole 'pard; at O'Clock
sheep; a, d during the night ole hunured
and twenty larks. This, we believe. would
be fair allowance for one man du ing twen-
ty-four hour; and could we find one gifted
with such an lite and such digestion,
we might readily comprehend how he might
spin five miles of web without Killing him
self, prviued he possessed the necessary
machinery.

ATTACHING A MENAaERIE. When Jones'
Msuagerie was in MiIleFsburs the last tine,
the proprietor wouldn't piy his bill tor
advertising in the Morning Argus, and so the
editor attached the cage containing the
hyena. The sheriff secured the cage and
brought it round to the Argus office, where it
reuaned for several weeks. The bill
amounted to fifteen dollars; aud, as tie an
imal ate two dollars worth OF beef every day
for four weeks, the amount of profit in that
particular form OF collecting the debt did not
seem to be encourag;ngly large. One after
chewed up the foreman, while the editor
saved himself only by suddenly climbing cut
on the roof. The hyena tore around through
that sanctnm, upsetting type, rolling in
printer ink, and feeding himself with poetry
and advertisements, an wood cuts, and in
crndiary editorials OH Cuba for four days, dur
iugwhich the publication of the Argus was sus
prhded, and the editor emaiued on the roof
thinking >olomnly about things. Finally, the
sheriff placed ladder against the building
and undertook to destroy the hyena with
shotgun He fired ei2htv-seven times before
infcting a mortal wound, and when, at last,
the editorial corps returned, the room looked
as il the battle OF Waterloo, and three or four
! skrmishes had been fought in it Probably
no hyena vas ever buried with more literature
| in its stomach than tnat hyena of Jones' had I;
| and an impression Gid get abroad that it died,
| MT from the wcurds rt ceived from the sher-
if 5 gu". but from its inability TO digest those
! tough editorials of the Argus and the original
| pDetry. They dug the woOd-cuts out with a
bufcher's fni e. Menageries which advertise
j in the Argus now have to pay in advance and
