ruE spOIIs sYsTEM.

Senator Pugh of Alabama thinks the
attempted assassination of the President
"has brought the public mind of the
country squarely up to the question Of
what evils in u system could have pro-
duced such a result; and / am satisfied
that the public mind will settle down
into the conviction that it is the evil
fruits of the spoils system. The only
remedy for these evils is to revoke this
W. and carry it back to the States
and the people. The reflections that 1
have given the subject i%nclines me to ia
vor such a change in our Constitution as
will limit the power Of appointment in
the President and Senate to Foreign
Ministers, Consuls, Judges Of the Su-
preme Court and Circuit Judges, but let
all other Federal offices, whose duties
have to be discharged in the State, such
as Postmasters, District Judges and At
torneys and Marshals be elected by the
Legislatures or by the people of the
States in which they are to perform their
duties. The elective power Of these Fed
eral offices would be distributed among
the States, and thereby destroy this sys-
TEN of Federal patronage as an agency
for centralizing the National Govern
mentn

TAILS OF COMETS.

Prof. Ennis, of the Naval Observatory
at Washington, believes that the tails of
comets are electric light. '.If these tails
had any substance" he argues, ''the laws
of motion are constantly violated by them.
The great comet of lS43 went so near
the sun that it passed from one side to
the other in afew hours. Its immense tail,
100, 600, 900 miles long, was shifted COM
pletely, so that it pointed directly in an
opposite direction. Could that be so if it
was composed of any substance? Could
a comet swing 100. 900, 600 miles of tail
around as quick as that? The electricity
is generated by evaporation. As the
comets approach the sun the heat be-
comes more intense, the evaporation and
accumulation Of electricity more rapid,
the repulsive force greater and the tail
longer. Sometimes the material becomes
completely evaporated. Then the comet
has no tall"

The Enterprise says, A number Of
Eastern tourists have left town bound for
Bodie. Among them was the typical geolo-
gist aud theoretical minerologist who visits

wild character Of these rough lakewood

By all means the United States Gov

Feejee Islands. There Is such an open
ing for Office seekers-in fact, a yearning
which is perfectly unappeasable The
Feejee Times Of recent date brings the
intelligence that the Government agent
at Ma Dram had been eaten by the sava-
ges. 1t does not appear that the natives
had any objection to the young man per-
sonally-in one respect they liked him
but they were not favorably impressed
with the Government he represented.
They might have asked to have him re-
called. but filling his place with another
would not have overcome their objections
to the Government, and, besides, the
next agent might have been tough.

THE WICKED SMALL Roy.

1t is a difficult thing to get ahead of
the New York small boy. The latest
form OF industry employed by the infant
terrible of the streets of New York is to
throw some filthy compound on a lady's
dress, and then, calling her attention to
it, offer to clean it off for her. Recently
a youngster was caught in the act, and it
was discovered that he had worked so
well throughout the day that his pockets
were well filled with halves, quarters and
dimes that had been given him by CRATE
full ladies'. 1t would seem that, after
this, human ingenuity in the way of ex-
torting money had reached its limit.

granted to any other depositor at the
Mint. No low-grade bullion, to his knowl-
edge, was ever received from the Anglo

1t In from Real Life, and II is True.
The following story, with the exception
OF names and places, is true in every par
ticular:
She was fair, she was forty and she
loved not wisely, but with a fervent in
tensity. The object of her affection was a
married man, but such was her i~nfatua-
tion that she chung to him till death put
her out of misery. She left a little boy
as the fruit of her sin, and on her death
bed besought the only who
had befrienned her to care for
the infant. This woman had a family of
her own, and was also poor In purse, but
she did by it the best part in her power un-
til it arrived at the age of eight months, at
which time she felt impelled to send it to
an asylum. Her husband: and old pioneer
and mountaineer, had become attached TO
the infant. He was living alone in the
woods, high in the Sierra Nevada, but he
took the child to his camp and raised it.
His residence was a hut among the trees,
and in this he brought up the boy. When
the child arrived at the age Of six years,
the m~ountaineer's wife, thinking that the
boy ought to have some means of educa-
ton afforded it, and being unable to clothe
and feed 1t while at school, applied to the
father. Letter after letter was addressed
10 him and by him ignored. Then the
fathers and the mothers relatives were ap-
pealed TO, but all spurned the applicant and
scorned the child. The boy is still in the
with his adopted father. He
IL q bright child, rugged and healthy, as
the manner Of his bringing up would nat
urally make him, and the poor fellow
knows no other parent than the hardy old
mountaineer who raised him from an in
FAINT among the rocks and pines OF the
snow-clad mountains. We shall not at
