against its production, that Mr.. Abby
has wisely withdrawn, although he
has already spent $4,000 in preparing
the piece for the stage.
civil SerYlce Reform.

Hon. Horace White and F. w.
Whitney, representing the Indepen-
dent Republican Association Of New
York, called upon Gen. Garfield at
his residence in Washington, the 9th
er day, and presented him with an
address from that association, con-
graduating him on his election and
calling his attention to the present
condition of the civil service reform.
The address says:
"The dangers to our political sys-
tenn from q savage contest every four
years respecting the distribution OF
federal offices seems to us extremely
grave. History teaches that the
things mostly to be guarded in re-
publics is excess of party rage. This
spirit, always sufficiently active under
free governments, is stimulated and
augmented to alarming danger by
the spoils system which regards Fed
eral offices as prizes of the majority,
and which would have snatched from
the whole body of present incumbents
their means of livelihood, il
few thousand votes in this state
which were cast for yourself had
been cast for Gen. Hancock. It is
most apparent that the greed and
terror inspirited by such a system
must add largely to the heat and fury
and attendant dangers Of our nation
al election, and increasingly as the
country growsin population, and fed
eral patronage becomes more exten-
sive. No other civilized government
exposes its public servants to danger
of beggary upon the hazard Of
election, or would exact good service
of from them under such condi-
ton"
After recognizing the serious diff
ficulties in the way of reform, the
address continues:
"We believe, however, that public
opinion is in advance of any reform
OF civil service heretofore attempted,
and you may safely establish rules for
entrance to all subordinate positions
which shall make ascertained merit
the sole test of appointment, discard
ing both partisan servants and party
affiliations from the list Of qualifca-
tions. In this way the new basis
may be gradually gained for the civil
service to rest upon, so that hereafter
no political party in its hour of tri
umph shall look upon public Offices as
an epemy's camp, subject to indis-
criminate pillage."
Gen. Garfield, after reading
the paper, entered upon the discus
sion of n civil service, in the course Of
which he said he hoped to have the
cooperation of congress.in establish
ing q legal basis for all routine ap-
pointments, so that it will not be in
the power of anybody, even the presi-
dent himself, to remove any capable
and faithful appointee during his
term of Office, whether the time be
long or short.

A real mule was one of the attrac-
tions recently in the play of The
Forty Thieves" asproducedin Nevada
city. The result is described by the
Chronicle as follows: ''No sooner had
Ali come out of the cave with his bags
of wealth and attempted to put them
on the back of the beast than he began
his part of the performance. He lot
1y with his heels, kicked the shavings
(the supposed riches) out OF the bags
kicked down the cavern, kicked down
the whole forest kicked down the
wings, kicked the end of the bas viol
cleaning against the stage) to pieces,
smashed the footlights- and finally
doubled up Ali by putting both feet

at length fastened around him andhe
was dragged offby the unltedstrength
of the company.

THE OTHER WORLD.
NJ MRS. II. n. STOWE.

II lies around us like a cloud,
A world We do not see,
Yet the sweet closing Of an eye
May bring US there to sec.
Its gentle breezes fan our check,
Amid our worldly cares,
It's gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around US throb and beat
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the vail between
With breathings almost heard.
The silence, awful, sweet and calm,
They have no power to break;
For mortal words are not for them
10 utter Or partake. .-.... q
So thin, so soft, so sweet they glide,
So near to press they seem,
They lull us gently to our rest,
They melt us into dream. ..
And in the hush of rest they bring
'Tis easy now to sec
How lovely ana now sweet pass
The hour of death may be;
To close the eye, and close the ear,
Wrapped in trance of bliss,
And, gently drawn in loving arms,
To swoon to that-from this.
Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls around us! watch us still;
Press nearer to our side;
Into our thoughts, into opr prayers,
With gentle helpings glide.
Let death between ps be as naught,
A dried and vanished stream;
Your joy be the reality,
Our suffering life the dream.

"Where Is my Daughter To.Nighti''

An exchange suggests that while
many fond parents are daley sending
up petitions that intemporance may
not lay its heavy arm upon their sons,
that they may ever be found free from
the vices Of this wicked world, would
it not be well for them to ask the qpes-
ton: "Where is my daughter tonight"
Too many girls find some excuse to
leave their homes pleasant evenings.
No sooner out of sight Of the domicile
than they hunt up girl companion
and make a bee line for places where
young men congregate, in the expec,
tation Of Catching beau, orgetting
upa Irritation, rarely disappointed in
accomplishing one or the other. That
the girls are unacquainted with the
character of the men SO frequently met,
there is but little doubt, otherwise
they would avoid their society, except
they were intent on going to the devil,
headlong. The fault Of this street
running after, dark lies to great ex-
tent with the parents.
No matter how humble the home,
il the parents, especially the mother,
will only take more interest in their
daughters, and try to entertain them
evenings with reputable young men,
good books and kind motherly talk,
instead Of letting them run here and
there without knowing where they are
or what company they are in, there
would be far less Of this streetrunning,
and many agood girl would be saved
to society and herself, where now she
is going TO ruin. Let every mother
who reads this ask herself the ques-
ton: 'syhere in my daughter to-nighti'
