measure, applied to clerks Of the lower
grades, is apparent. In the higher
grade of officials, it could be adopted,
probably, without detriment to the
public service; for let it be understood
that the amount of work generally
speaking, required of officials here de-
creases in an immense ratio with the
increase of salary, and the perquisites,
emoluments, &C., increase correspond
ingly with it. But the inherent mean
ness and selfshness Of a method of
economy which enforces it at the ex-
pense of everybody except overpaid
members Of congress many of whom
come here to disgrace the country by
their Bacchanalian excesses, need not
be argued. Everybody sees and ap-
preciates it, and everybody is talking

The --LATEST IRRUPTION OF VA

The --LATEST IRRUPTIoN OF VAN
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., D. c., March
24-The Sunday Capital, a Demo
cratic paper, is not pleased with the
civil-service methods of the Demo
cracy. and expresses itself in the fol.
lowing strong language: 1.-The distri-
button of patronage by the Democratic
House has been simply shameful
There is not thoughtful man in the
country cognizant Of the fact who does
not shudder, at the thought Of such
men having control of the civil service
of the general Government. When
the Democratic Congress first met, the
army Of applicants suggested the emp
tying of all the Poor Houses and Pen.
itentiaries of the country. There
never had been seen in Washington
before such crowd of disreputable-
looking men, and each member of the
House had little company at his back,
and every Senator had brigade.
They put up at hotels, passed from that
to cheap boarding houses, and wound
up in alleys, station-houses, and cellars.
From these the officers Of the House
had to make their selection. How they
succeeded, Fitzhugh and Polk can
answer" Of Polk's case it says:
"This unhappy old gentleman fell a
victim to the fierce greed of the
members who elected him doorkeepel.
They crowded in on him people who
stole; people who slept in members
chairs and snored so loud they distur-
bed the proceedings; fellows who were
willing to take other mems pay for
work they did not do, and poor devils
who we're walling to do the work for
half the pay. He had more pages and
door Dangers palmed off on him than
his payroll could carry, and each
member promised him to make it all
right in the coming appropriation.
The poor old gentleman labored and
perspired prayerfully at times, but
mostly with much profanity, and all
the while paying money out Of his
own pocket to cover deficits and con-
tinue the harmony.

TUE INDIAN RE.-Unoficial but
trustworthy information from Fort
Walsh confirms the recent story of a
large confederation of hostile Indians
in that vicinity Sitting Bull ana
Spotted Eagle have been reinforced by
lodges from the Missouri River agen-
cies, including Red Clouds, and it is
now estimated there are from 5000 to
1000 within a hundred miles of Fort
Walsh. Some of these bands have
been seen by Miles scouts. The saw
ages are very restless, and are under
constant surveillance of the too limited
force of Canadian mounted police, who
evidently anticipate some trouble. At
council the last week in February,
the indians then resolved to resist the
buffalo law, and Sitting Bull counselled
moderation toward Canadians. The
force is we'll armed and equipped and
could probably be augmented to 10,-
900 men, in which case vigorous
summer campaign would be probable.
TWEED HEARD FRoM.-NEw
York, March 26.-Comptroller
Kelley has sent a communication to
Attorney General Fairchild urging the
release of VIM. M. Tweed. Keeley
says his promise to Tweed that the late
Attorney General would release him
if he would make full confession of
his misdeeds and surrender his proper
ty, induced Tweed's confession and his
and his proffer of surrender Of his
property. He states that the late At
torney General promised him (Kelley)
be would discharge Tweed if he COM
piled with these demands as citizen
Kelley says he feels that the State is
being dishonored by this breach Of
trust, aud be believed that that
Tweed's further detention was neither
beneficial to the State as an example
to evil doers, nor serviceable to the
city. Tweed's testimony, says Kelley,
in the suits against the city, involving
millions of dollars, would be very i'm
portant, but he refuses to testify un-

The Sea Serpent's Rival.

The sea serpent has rival. It is
land animal; an animal as large, as
frantic and as elusive as the celebrated
monster Of the sea-and at least twice
as mysterious.
The Minhocao is the new wonder.
A very slight change in its name might
have prejudiced the world against it
as for instance, if it had been baptized
minhoaxo. 1t is we'll tathered in the
realm of science, being brought to no.
tice by one Fritz Muller, Of Brazil, in
the zo0logische Garten, and receiving
full page of large type in recent
number Of Nature. The..minhocao is
believed to be a resident of the region
OF South America where the Uruguay
and Paraha rivers have their sources
The animal is said by different obser-
vers to have the following characteris-
tics: 1t is worm-shaped; about 81
feet long (by guess), and more than a
yard in thickness; mot very long"
however, according to another account;
two horns on the head; snout like
pig; less defuite description makes the
animal "as big as house," and meas
urement Of the tracks indicates its
possible width at 81 to 10 feet. Some
years ago, it is said there was a dead
mlnhocao wedged in the cleft of arock
near Araoehy, Uruguay. Its skin was
as the bark of pine tree, and formed
of hard scales like those of the arma
dlllo.
TIE new animal is, however, chiefly
known by his works. Great trenches
are found in this region which are sup
posed to be the evidence of the minho-
cao's Industry. Heaps of earth are
turned up in the process, and when
pine trees stand in the way Of the
trench, they are rooted up, and some
times part Of their bark and wood may
be torn off The devastation of this
performance, which is chiefly near or
under the surface of the earth, though
often under the bed Of stream, is
enormous. In one case the entire
side of a hill was undermined, it is
supposed by two of these animals, and
was traversed by deep trenches. BY
such proceedings, marshes bave been
drained, or dry lands converted into
morass, and the course of streams en-
tlrely' changed Some three-fourths
OF mile to mile In length. They
are excavated with great rapidity.
1t will be noticed that the new as
pirant for fame has been almost as lit
tie seen as the sea serpent. The SUBJ
terranean monster is simply more for
tunate than the submarine in leaving
more palpable traces than wake of
foam. We may expect soon to hear Of
a scientific expedition to Uruguay in
search of the minhocao. Whether it
will be found like a ceratodus, or a
lepididosiren, or glyptodont, it is yet
too soon to guess; possibly, when un-
earthed: it will be recog nized as the
descendent of one of the gigantic ar
madillos that certainly dwelt in South
America during the reptilian age of
geology.-NeaO York Tribune

coarse whisper asked the barkeeper for
two cents worth o. WHISKY. Says he,
PLEASE put it in bottle, as there are
three of us dying for drink and two
cents is all the money we have in the

whisky, and no deaths were reported
on the train, their condition was proba-

survived the trying ordeal of passing o
