The order of the President pro-
hibiting officeholders from serving on
political committees will affect about
all the prominent Federal officers in
New York and Brooklyn. If this
order is not more generally obeycd
than was a similar one issued byEPres,
dent Grant, it will be of no value to
the government or benefit to the peo.
pie and boosted "Civil Service Re-

promises of course are not worth quite

"THANK GoD, Won EEs DEAD.
A friend Of the writer was once travel
ling in stage coach in New England,
and arrived at a village at 9 o'clock
in the evening, where the vehicle was
to remain until morning. Having
some acquaintance in the town he
went out Immediately to call upon
one of them. Returning to the tavern
at midnight, he found all the beds in
the house occupied but one Of a dozen
cots that had been put up temporarily
in the parlor, for it was ''court week"
at that county seat. During the day
my friend had been greatly amused by
fellow passenger, a lively young
Frenchman. Where he was that
night my informant did not know
when he retired to the unoccupied cot
in the parlor, but he soon found out.
The sleepers in the other cots were
making "night hideous" with their
snoring in varied cadences, some puff
ing, some with long drawn nasal
sounds, and all in discord. AT length
one of the snorers brought up with a
snort and was suddenly silent, when
the young Frenchman, who occupied
a cot at the further end of the room,
and had been annoyed BY the noise OF
the sleepers, cried out, "Thank God,
