DETECTIVE.
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1881-12-13

The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE is docu-
ment of such great length that few per-
sons will care to read it carefully. Yet
it is q message of much interest and
ability.
The President appropriately refers to
the death of his predecessor. The con-
dition of our relations with other nations,
next receives the attention of the Presi
dent, and these are all satisfactory, ex-
cept with Peru and Chill, where some
misunderstanding exists, through the
fault of our Ministers to those countries.
A special envoy has been sent to straight
en- these matters.
The finances receive an extended no.
tice. The recommendation is made that
the bonds continued at 81 per cent. by
Secretary Window be allowed to remain
unless they can be refunded at lower
rate. The discontinuance of the coinage
of fixed number of silver dollars each
month is also advised. 1t is also pro-
posed to remove all internal taxes except
on liquor and tobacco. Referring to the
arrears of pensions, the message shows
that $3.50, 900 900 will be swallowed up in
paying arrears alone, and that unless the
clerical force in the pension office is in
creased the number of applications now
on file cannot be got through with for
six years. There is also a suggestion
that some of these applications are fraud
ulent, and request is made for preven-
tive legislation by Congress.
He next pays attention to civil service
reform, and makes some good sugges.
tions. He wants no man in office who
lacks any qualification necessary to fill
it, and favors competitive examinations
as preliminary to entrance into the pub
lie service, and promotion from the
lower to higher grades when a vacancy
happens, provided those in the lower
grade are competent to fill the position
in the higher. The President thinks
there is much Of good in the Englisl
civil service rules, but that there are alst
provisions which would not be accepta

On the Erie Railroad, near Elmira,
n, Y, the axle of the driving wheels of
the locomotive broke, wkile the train
was running at speed of 80 miles an
hour. The postal and express cars
were turned over and over, and caught
tire. Four men in the postal car were
burned to crisp. The remains of one
who weighed over 200 pounds were
gathered up and put in a small box.
The express messenger was caught IN a
pile of express matter, and q hole was
cut in the side of the car through which
he got his head out The train men
tried to extricate him, but the flames
drove them away, and the unfortunate
messenger fell back in the flames and
was burned to cinder. No passen-
gers were injured, and it is thought the
four men in the postal car perished
quickly, as not sound came from the
wreck except the cracking OF the
flames.

CLING TO HIM WHO CLINGs TO YOU,

There are many friends OF Summer
Who are kind while flowers bloom,
But, when Winter chills the blossoms,
They depart with the perfume.
On the broad highway Of action,
Friends OF worth are far and few,
So, when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clngs to you
Do not harshly judge your heighbof;
Do not deem his life untrue;
II he make no great pretensions,
Deeds are great though words are few.
Those who stand amid the tempest.
Firm as when the skies are blue,
win be friends while fife endureth-
Cling to those who cling to you.
When you see worthy. brother
Buffeting the stormy main,
Lend helping hand fraternal,
Till he reach the shore again.
Don't desert the old tried frieee
When misfortune comes in view,
For he needs true friendships comforts
Cling to him who clings to you.

cellcnt condition. In the Kcd river val
ley no seeding has yet been done. From

side of Fargo. 1t will be at least two
weeks before seeding will be general in
that country. by that time wheat and
oats will be sprouted and above the
ground in the Missouri river slope, which
is always two to three weeks earlier than
the Red river valley. From jamestown,
and even Valley City, west to the Bad
Lands seeding is general this week. The
Troy farm has in over four hundred acres
of wheat the Steele farm upwards OF two
hundred; the Clarke one hundred and
fifty; Stark fifty; President Hayes ninety
five, and smaller farms have nearly fin
ished. Mr.. Jackson finished Tuesday.
Nessrs. Cameron: King, Faulkner, Fields,
and every other farmer ia this vicinity
are also busy. The outlook for a man.
mot, yield is very fattering.
