wIsdom's CIviI service scheme

Washington, Oct. 29.-windom said
to-day that he bad given the subject Of
civil service very careful consideration
during his stay in the treasury depart
ment. and the question had frequently
been discussed with President Garfield,
who was earnestly in favor Of some
practicable system which would correct
the evils Of the present mode Of max
ing appointments. The plan to accom-
plish this had not been completed when
the president was assassinated. A.
prepared system, applicable to the
treasury department. was ready to be
promulgated on the recovery Of the
president. The plan proposed was to
relieve the president and the heads Of
departments from pressure and impor-
tunity, and also afford . fair opportu-
nifty for persons in respective states to
present themselves for. appointment.
To do this it was proposed to allot to
the states, respectively, as the Law re-
quires, the number Of appointments to
which they would be severally entitled
In the treasury department. Then to
appoint carefully selected committee
Of three in each state. whose duty II
should be to meet once year at some
convenient place in the state, and be-
fore whom anyone desiring to enter the
government service should have the
right to present himself or herself for
examination; such examination TO be
| practical, and to relate to character,
experience, and capacity of the appli-
cant. and to the duties Of the position
to which the appointment is desired; {;
said committee to prepare slist, graded
according to the merit Of those who
pass an examination, and forward the
papers 10 the head Of tie department
at Washington. From this examina-
ton, Window believes, persons should
be selected from those highest on the
List, and only TO be sent for when the
state Of which they are residents should
Be entitled to appointments.
It was further proposed that in max
ing these selections from the eligible
persons on the list, that soldiers, OF
their widows. or children. should have
the preference- The system proposed
also provides for promotion in the de
partmenfs, upon examination, to b

part would be without his warmest
wishes for It's progress and prosperity.

New York, Oct. 29.-The Times is
encouraged by yesterdays registration
here and in Brooklyn, to believe that
the republicans will poll 6o.O0O votes
for the state ticket in this city. That
would give the democrats without about
80 poo majority, which with an addition
Of the 1o.0e0 Of Kings county, ought to
be easily wiped out BY republican ma
iorities In other partso Of the state.

In the executive session yesterday a

luton ordering the sergeant-at-arms TO

was presented.
The republicans are confident that
Arthur will withdraw Straham and let
let the senate adjourn this evening, and
II he 10 not withdrawn the republicans
will maintain the nght as long as the
democrats.
Tho president will not insist upon
MscVeagh's remaining. but feels that
he goes because he suspects the slnceri-
ty Of the administration In the star
route prosecutions. James accuses
Macyeagh Of deserting him.
Republicans say that they have been
holding out on the Strsham nomIna-
tion TO show that they are in perfect
harmony with Virginia liberalism. Ma
hone has been strengthened by their
fight.
The president will, unless the senate
adjourns soon. be obliged to make
large number Of appointments to Offices
the terms Of which expire soon. The
senators are all anxious TO get home and
talk over, with their constituents, the
matter Of filling the vacancies.
Several senator's who refused to re-
turn TO the senate when sent for last
night made lame apologies in the execu-
tive session to-day. Those senators
who remained last night insisted on
making an example Of these recreants,
a. the rules have been too leniently con-
strued heretofore to the injury Of busi-
ness. Nothing was done with them,
however.
Hills resolution to-day indicates that
the doors Of the senate will be opened
on the discussion Of the Straham case.
The democrats want to enlarge on the
statement o. Judge Riner, of Va. that
Straham's nomination would elect
republican senator in Virginia. Hill
says: We have abundant evidence that
the president Is making the appoint
ment for the sole purpose Of influencing
the election In Virginia, and that he
intends to push the resolution.

How 10 Shake Hands.

There are only two or three people now
living who can successfully shake hands.
There is q good deal of hand-shaking done
through the country, especially at this
season of the year, but only very small
per cent. of the shakers and shakecs know
how to do Il so rs TO get the entire amount
of exhilerntion out of It. Some grab the
hand of an adversary In a quick, nervous
manner that scares the victim nearly TO
death, while others slide the cold and
clnmmy paw at you so that you feel the
same as when you drop cold raw oyster
with vinegar ON Il down your back. lfyou
are shaking hands with lady incline the
head forward with soft and graceful,
vet half.timid movement like u boy
climbing barbed.wire fence with q fiity-
pound Watermelon. Look gently In her
ewes with kind of pleasing smile, beam
OH her features n bright and winsome
beam, say something that you have some
one else say on similar occasions,
and In the meantime shake her hand in q
subdued yet vigorous way, not as though
you were trying TO make mash by pull
vcrizing her fingers, nor yet In too con.
seryative manner, allowing her hand to
fall with a sckening thud when you let
10. Care should be taken also not to hang
ON 10 the hands more than half an hour. In
public, as bystanders might make remarks.
This Is now considered quite outre and

Garfield ms an Orator.

| have said before that General Garfield
was the most effective stump and platform
orator of his party. lie went directly to
the reason of his hearers. There was never
any sophilistry in his speeches, or any ap-
peal to prejudice, or any trick of suppress
sion or half statement lle approached
his audiences neither in way of mock de-
ference nor superiority, but MS If he were
one OF them come to talk with them on
terms Of intellectual equality, aud desirous
only of convincing their minds by per-
iectly fair presentation of facts and argu-
ments. He had a strong, far reaching
voice, pitched in the middle key, a digni-
fled, manly presence, and an abundance of
the quality which, for want of better
term, we call personal magnetism. His
manner in his speeches was first engaging
by reason OF its franknes and moderation,
and afterward impressive by its earnestness
and yigor AT the climax Of Speech
he gathered up all the forces Of statement
and logic he had been marshaling, AMI
hurled them upon his listeners with tre-
mendous force. His eyes dilated, his form
seemed to expand, his voice took on q sort
of explosive quality, his language gained
the height ofsimple and massive eloquence,
and his gestures became so energetic and
forcible that he seemed, at times, to be
beating down opposition with sledge-ham-
mer blows, throwing his arguments for
ward like solid shot from a cannon.--

The Now York Elevated Roads.

But few persons who have not been in
New York since the construction of the
elevated roads, and witnessed their equip
ments and operations, can have any
adequate idea of the extent of them,
and of the people, machinery and ap-
purtenances required in working them. A
recent inventory discloses the fact that
there are 32 miles of railway, l6l stations
2O3 engines and 6l2 cars, while 34S0 trains
day arO run. There are 1874 men employed
on these roads, 300 of whom are en-
gineers, 25S .ticket-agents, 23l conductors,
30S as iiremen, 1856 guards or brakeman,
3il gatemen, road-inspectors, log porters,
30 carpenters, q painters, 90 car-inspectors,
40 car-cleanerS, 40 lamp men, and 470
blacksmiths, boiler-makers, and other
mechanics employed on the structure and
in the shops. Most ofthe ticket agents are
telegraph operators, but there are l3 other
operators employed. There are four
doube-track lines in operation. The ag-
gregate daily receipts vary from $l4, 900 to
$4,000; and as many rs 274,023 passengers
have been carried in one day. Engineers
are pad from SO to $3.50 per day; ticket
agents, $l.75 to $225; conductors $3.50 TO
$3.50; iiremen, $l.00 to 81; guards or brake
men, 81 80 to $l.G5; and gatemen, Sl,N to
$3.50. The above items do not include
machinsts and other employees in the work
shops, or the general officers, clerks, etc.

Palestine.



PALESTINE, November 30-A German
colony was established this week by the
New York and Texas Land Company Qim-
ited) on its lands, near the town of Frank
lin, the county seat of Robertson county,
near what is known as the Grand
Eleven Leagues. Three Germans have
arrived there as Othe neuclus of the
colony. Many more are already on the
way from the old country. New Baden is
the name of the new town site where the In
ternational Railroad Company and the
land company have erected a large and
commodious emigrant home where the new
comers are sheltered and cared for until
they choose sites and build for themselves.
Mr.. J. ID. Myer, from Laden, Germany,
is in charge of the new enterprise, and has
headquarters at Palestine. From present
appearances and from the fact that the In
ternational is deeply interested in its sue
cess, no doubt it will be one of The most
iiourishing and successful German settle
ments in Texas. The people of Robertson
county are exceedingly pleased with the
new town and the colony established in
their midst.
