We have recently made an improve
ment in the manufacture of our South
Carolina Rock, by which the full amount
of available Phosphoric Acid is main
tanned, for ID to 3-4 per ct. Ammonia
added and the finished article made less
sticky and more free from Jumps.
We have heretofore found it difficult
to produce high-grade article that is
not too sticky and lumpy to handle
nicely. By our recent improvement,
this difficulty is overcome, and we be-
lieve that what We are now furnishing
our customers is not excelled, if it is
equaled, by any other South Carolina
Rock in the market.

THE kind of civil service reform we
should get has been illustrated by the
Democratic House. They turned out
all the union soldiers to fill their places
with ex-rebels. They appointed Fitz-
hue door-keeper, his only recommended
tion being that he had been door keeper
of the Confederate House q man who
had been indicted for forgery and arson
rs the Democratic leaders aceU k10lo,
and whose record was so infamous that
they were obliged to turn him out when
the facts were made public-not before.
They appointed Hambledon clerk of one
off one of their most important commit
tcas-a man who named his child after
John Wilkes Booth to show his admira-
ton for the assassin of our martyred
President. This Is fore taste of Dem
ocratic reform under TiIden and Nor
rissey.

the annals Of railroad history has there
been SO great Inducements offered to

embodied within the limits OF that sacred
and dear old city. The prominent revo-
lutionary events, which transpired over
century ago, are being lived over again
and the rising generation refreshed by
history of cur suffering, brave and
plucky patriots. The D,onle5atats a6diI.s

concourse of ali nations who cheerfully
lend their aid in celebrating most prop
erly in Philadelphia the peace and pros
