The success of the Detroit Evening
News has been most wonderful. Prior
to its establishment no Detroit daily had
ever had a regular issue of over 5000
copies. The founder of the News hoped
to gain 10000 subscribers, but deemed it
would be the work of some years. Not
withstanding, the paper closed its first
year with circulation of 1900. At
three years it had reached 1900, and
10000 copies was then put at the limit
OF possibilities. But 10000 was reached
and passed in the fall of 1878, since
which period the growth has been steady
and constant, until to-day 1t exceeds 49,
600 copies per day-a circulation sur
passed by but few daily newspapers in
the United States. And all this has
been won by sheer merit alone.

Civil Service Reform.

Ex-Secretary Window said that he had
given the subject of civil service very
careful consideration during his brief
stay in the Treasury department. The
question had been frequently discussed
with President Garfield, who was earnest
ly in favor of some practical system
which would correct the evils of the
present mode of making appointments.
The plan to accomplish this had not been
settled when the President was assassi-
mated. Subsequently Secretary Window
prepared system applicable to the
Treasury department, which was ready
to be promulgated. He only waited the
recovery of President Garfield to put it
i'm operation. The plan prepared by the
Secretary was intended to relieve the
President and heads of departments
from pressure and importantly, and also
to afford an opportunity for persons in
respective states to present themselves
disappointment. To do this it was pro-
posed TO allOt to states respectively as
the law requires the number of appoint
ments, to which they would be severally
entitled in the treasury department;
then to appoint carefully selected com
mittee of three in each state, whose duty
it should be to meet once year at some
convenient place in the state. and before
whom any one desiring to enter the gov
eminent service should have the right to
present himself or herself for examina-
ton, such examination to be practical
and relate to character, experience and
capacity of applicants, and to the duties
of the position to which appointment is
desired, said committee to prepare list
graduated according to the merit of
those who pass the examinations, and
forward the papers to the head of the de-
partment at Washington. From this
examination 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 an appointment. 1t was
further proposed that in making the
selections from eligible positions of the
list, soldiers or their widows or children
should have preference. The system
proposed also provides for promotions in
departments upon examination to be de-
cided by merit Of the applicant. The
secretary proposed this system to Presi-
dent Garfield then at Long Branch, a
week before he was assassinated, and he
regarded it with much favor. 1t Is be-
lieved that had he recovered some such
system would have been applied to all
appointments and congress would have
been urged to provide by for thorough
and complete organization Of the civil
service.

Services at the EplScOpei cnurcn To-
morrow, if no unforeseen accident hap
pens.
The deadly pine is already getting in
its work. Several fatal accidents have
been reported at the camps In different
parts of the state.
Some of the doubling ThOmases among
our sportsmen would like to have W. G.
Hayes stand up and explain just how
he stood when he shot that buck.
MIR. RObt. Robinson is trying to induce
Sweet to 60 ahead and cut way through
on the surveyed route of the Cross Village
State road to connect with his, so that
the settlers may have the benefit of a
winter road, but it still remains to be
seen whether his efforts will be success
full or not for contractor Sweet, accord
ding to the settlers story, would awfully
hate to spoil his procine principles.
Messrs. Humphrey, Cooper, Littleield
and Miner have spent few days this
week having grand hunt on Black
lake. They returned at o'clock this
morning, bringing in three deers, and
report having had good time. In COM
ing down last night they ran the Black
river rapids. They state that the woods
were full of hunters, in fact more hun
tiers than deer, to take advantage of the
first tracking snow.
Last Tuesday report reached here
that the other bodies of those lost Sept.
9th had been found hid in the woods
just about where the body of Miss Harri-
rison had been found, at Adams Point
about midway between Rogers City and
Crawford's Quarry and that the bodies
had been taken out of the water and
been hid by ghouls who had robbed them
and that clue had been obtained of the
guilty parties, but nothing further can
be ascertained about the facts. The re-
port had proof of its truthfulness that
is hard to entirely discredit, but still it
would seem as though if it were true that
more definite knowledge could be OBJ
tanned.
Trouble still continues to be the lot Of
the contractors for sinking the test salt
we'll and difficulty after difficulty has to
be surmOunted. The hole is not so deep
by several feet as it was ten days ago.
Wednesday night they succeeded in cap
turing their slnker and bringing it to
the surface. Since then they have been
trying to rim the hole out so as to get
the iuch tubing down to the bottom, but
the rock has caved so bad they could
not reach it. They are putting in
the tubing to-day and expect to get it
down something oyer 00feet and when
down Mr.. Mason says it will stay there,
that he does not intend taking and more
risk by drawing it. Mr.. Coner has Or
dered 800 feet Of AZ inch tubing which
will be used hereafter. 1t is still hoped
that rock will be reached that will stand
up without being tubed. Should this be
the case it would not be long before the
question:; salt or no salt would be decid-
ed.

Clinging to the Rock.
Mary Rawlcs.

Mary Iawles.
One morning last summer | was
standing in the shadow Of a great rock
by the seashore. 1t rose hundreds of
feet toward the sky, its gray sides so
steep and awful that it made m giddy
to look up. Presently | saw, faraboyemy
head, little patches of something white
and golden, and l oOn foundthey were.
clusters of "mOon" daisies which had
taken root in tiny holes in the rock and
lowered there, and their brave little
heads up at that great height nodded
as happily to the sunshine and the
breeze as though they had been grow
ing down in some lOw-lying level field.
The dark waves might break and toss
on the rocky shore below, and the
rough breeze come close up to them
and shake them as if determined to
carry them away, but the daisies had
no fear. They were perfectly safe, for
they were clinging to the rock, and
that rock was stronger than the wind
or the waves of the sea. So are all
little children in the arms of Jesus.

The Barge System on the Mississippi.

The Barge System on the Mississippi,
Scientin, American.
Mention was made in this paper re-
Gently of the sailing of a fleet of barges
from st. Louis with over 10000 tons
of grain (~20,847,900 lbs.) for export by
way of New Orleans. The fleet vas
lowed by the steamer Oakland, which
took in addition to the eight grain
barges, a capacious fuel-barge. The
Iron Mountain and barges left st. Lou
is April 10, with 100000 bushels Of
corn, or 16,800,000 pounds cargo. The
same boat and barges, February %,
with $4,000 bushels of wheat and 210,-
22S bushels of corn, or 14,392,76S lbs.
The ID. Gilmore, July II, with $4,000
pounds; and the Oakland, August 10,
with 230,1 58 bushels of wheat.
The shipments from st. Louis by
barges, for European account last year,
reached q total of 15,717,664 bushels of
wheat, corn and rye. The shipments
of the same sort in 1870 comprised only
5000 bushels of wheat.
The prospect of an extension of the
operations of the st. Louis and New
Orleans Barge-line to Davenport, Iowa,
next summer has led the Democrat, of
the latter city, to investigate the pro-
gress and prospects of the b~arge-system.
1t finds that at the close of 1880 there
were four lines of tow-bOats and barges
engaged in the transportation, aggre-
eating Is boats and Sc barges with a
total capacity IN bushels of 100000
and 100000 per month to New Or
leans. The boats and barges now

of the latter, % having a capacity of

ferred to above. The four rank as fol

pany, with l boat and 9 barges, of $40.

lows of these lines last year from st
Louis direct numbered 113, and these
transported 5,913,273 bushels Of wheat
and 1904, 392 bushels of corn, including
$4,000 Of rye. The number of barges
to tow would be about five, and the
average cargo of each trip for the yea
100000 bushels.
All this vast trade has been made
possible by the improvements of tho

ularly by the jetty-system at the moutl
of the river.
