HOW TO LEAD A COW.

Every woman will tell YOU that a
man can be led easier by putting an
arm around his neck than bv pulling
his hair, but we never knew till recent
" that the reason YOU cant lead COW
behind wagon is because she objects to
having her horns pulled. The other
day a red-shirted emigrant passed
through here on his way to Carroll coun-
ty. His family and household posses
sions were in a covered wagon to the
hind end of which was fastened a COW
Behind her, with sharp stick, walked
the cmlgrant, giving her smart welt
occasionally when she hung back
Every now and then she would brace
herself and stop the team, and then
in uncierlcal language, he would beseecb
her TO go on, marking each forcible per
iod with a prod of the sharp stick
The poor COW rolled her ewes and rolled
her tongue The emigrant TOO, was
dusty and tired, but his voice and stick
didn't fail him. She had suddenly halt
ed the procession in front of the post
Office, and was shaking her head in re-
ply to his earnest cntreaties, when
man called out to Red Shirt that he
did not understand cows worth a cent. :"
We'll, what are YOU going to do
about IT," asked Red Shirt
"Why just take that rope off her horns
and put it around her neck, and she'll
lead as quiet as lamb. If she don't
III follow her mile myself"
The rope was changed to her neck
and the team started She gave look
of surprise and walked along. "Well,
that beats all:" said Red Shirt, and
without u word Of thanks he mounted
his wagon. The procession moved slow
" on to Carroll county, and the COW
followed with countenance as placid as
if she We're walking home at milking
time.

CIVIL. SERVICE REFORM.

Ann '''N'r 7'rn"
SEVERE vIRTUE-sHERNlAN GREATLY
| ANNOYED.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, writing under date
of September 18th, says; "Civil service
reform received new wrench to-day.
In the absence from town OF Carl Schurz,
two gentlemen from Ohio made descent
upon the interior department, ana
went about soliciting contribu-
tions to help along the Republi.
can campaign in Ohio. The gentlemen
aforesaid represented that contributions
were to be wholly voluntary, but some
OF the mulcted clerks say that they some
how. received the impression that it was
to be the old story, pay or GET and so
they paid. Coming so close on the heels
of Sherman's significant hint that
Ohio clerks in the department
could get away long enough to vote, this
revival of the old contribution dodge
has Suspicious look. 1t is certainly at
variance with Schurz's recent manifesto
on the subject Of election duties, and con.
siderable interest is manifested here to
know what Schurz is going to do about
it. From the description OF the two
seekers after campaign money, one is be-
lieved to be eX-Speakcr Grosyenor Of
Ohio, who arrived here last night.

of the president, In Ohio, that prosper

are actually in want. Many cases have

not get, and falling In which, they have
exhausted the slender resources thew
brought with them, and are now con,
ironted by actual want. Prosperous
times hayc returned to Ohio, but
there is no denying the fact tina, the
civll.seryice policy OF President Hives
and Secretary Sherman has caused more

elitorially, "when the pe0pe speak APP

know exactly in what the re-
form consists. As lar as appolnt-
meuts, promotions, aud removals In the
executive departments are concerned,
there Is AS Yet no general rule applicable

interior, appointments in the main are
made through competitive examinations,
and promotions are made on the ground

ments candidates are examined slngly,
and II found qualified are appointed. In
the interior department political
recommendations are supposed to be es-
teemed OF no more consequence than
those of any other character. In some
of the other departments it is suspected
that no one whatever can be appointed
