creditable undertaking, but it is only a beginning. The President must abolish also that servants intermediate allegiance to his party, before the tenure of office can become permanent one. No matter how good Republican officers he appoints, il. he appoints none other, they must make way for Democrats if the Republican par ty is beaten in 1880; and then all his re- forms will go for naught We have never yet been able to see how any permanent reform can be effected without the assent of both parties. What we need is some congressional action, or possibly consti- tutional amendment, giving civil servants a permanent tenure of office and deVising some mode of appointment that will se- cure suitable appolntees, regardless of their political views or relations. In the beginning. however, the offices must nec- essarilY be divided between the two ex- isting parties. and all MT. Hayes plans of civil service reform will only serve tem- porarys purpose if they are not based on some such principle of equal division. He could rely on the support of the best men of both parties for some arrangement of that kind; and the politicians who would alone oppose it, would be sharply dealt with by the people.

On Saturday, June 18th. the young people in this place Lad picnic at War amaug Lake The company. consisting of sixteen couple, started about 10 o'clock, with Dudley for leader, and Doyle to bring up the rear; they had a very pleas ant ride.
 Arriving at the lake. dinner was spread in a beautiful grove near the Garter House. After dinner all took a sail upon the lake, and were happier, if possible, when they felt themselves floating upon the cool and rippling waters of the Wara- maug. We regret to say some of our par: ty seemed to enjoy hailing the fishermen, and some of the instances were very amusing. One of the young gentleman. hailing fisherman, said that '.his mother gave him dollar to buy pig, "and asked if he (the fsherman) was for sale ''Save your dollar," was the ready reply, 'sshe will never find a bigger pig than you are"
 During the whole trip, nothing suffered but horse flesh. and. we understand, that the next day it was found necessary tc prop up the horse of one young man. te keep him from falling over. K
