Civil Servie. In Ireland.

Powerful body as The civil service of Ire
laud undoubtedly Is, II isalse disconnected
body. Its members complain Of inequality
and injustice. They say that gentleman
holding the same appointment In England
receives salary half as much as that which
"my lords" dole out and consider sufficient
for the" mere Irish.n When reminded that
in England the work and labor and superyis-
ion are more extensive, they reply that they
are required Ia give their whole time to the
government; the hours Of duty are the same
us lin England, and II there Is not much TO
do 1t must be because there are too many
=. servants that Government which wished
to be fair and Just would employ IN each
- country only suficient number to perform
the required work of that country and have
an equal remuneration for both. Then. In
Ireland u has always been that the prizes Of
department are given for political services,
which are understood to establish claim
for the first vacant commlssienership or in
spectorship. A thorough knowledge Of the
subject gained by years Of hard painstaking
work weigh as nothing when compared with
few votes given IN, the House Of Commons
orafew speeches III local town. This sys-
tenn Of jobs has a great deal to do with the
widespread dislike Of board government.

George Eliot as asTeacher.


She was great teacher. For all who read
her books attentively she had message, the
force Of which has beenfelt by hundreds and
thousands of men and women, and In pro-
portion as 1t has been felt 1t has added worth
and dignity to their lives. No novelist has
ever exercised more powerful, more in
structiye and more eleysting influence up
ON. her readers. The essential principle Of
all her writings Is the sense Of moral respon-
sibility. The greater and the more real his
torical valne OF George Eliots writings lies
IN the fact that they are mirror of the In
telleciuh Influences operative In this last
half OF the nineteenth century. among US.
The spirit Of science ilas often spoken to. us
in modern novels, and 40 has that Of poetry.
But there never has been audible such q per-
feet blending Of their voices As is heard in
tho novels Of George Eliot. Since the poet
OF " Hamlet y lived and fourished, few have
approached 90 nearly to him IN sense Of the
manysidednsss Of existence and character
in the faculty Of spprciating the different
elements in the tragi-comedy Of llfe--as the
author or Adam Bcde.

CASHIER MESSERSN NTH.
Death of the Man Whose Intrepidity Saved
100000.
philadelphia Times

lFnllduelpnla Ilues.J
CHAMBERsBURG. Pa, April 23.-George R.
Messersmith died suddenly at 30 this even
ing.
George R. Messersmith was the Cashier OF
the Chambersburg Bank on March %, 1879,
when the daring forger and confidence man,
Ralph Rollins, otherwise Lewis L. Cler-
mon, and his accomplice, his brother
in-law, A. b. Wicks, alias johnson,
made their desperate and well-nigh
successful attempt to bind and gag the old
gentleman and plumber the bank vaults of
over half million dollars Rollins went to
Chambersburg months before the enterprise
was ripe, representing himself as an ex-
Confederate General from New Orleans.
He was accompanied by beautiful lady.
Rollins pretended to be an invalid travelling
for his health. The couple, by their re-
fined, sociable ways, captivated many
families, including Cashier Messer-
smiths, and Rollins was a fire.
que1t visitor. Johnson appeared on
the scene the day before the attempted rob-
berry. On the evening of March 25, Rollins
and Johnson visited Mr.. Messersmith's
house, Rollins representing that he had
$4,000 which he was about to invest by pur-
chasing the Cashiers farm. and asked TO
deposit it in the bank safe for security. The
unsuspecting Cashier opened the vault doors,
and at that instant Rollins and Johnson
pinioned him and attempted to bind and gag
him and thrust him into the vault. Rollins
fourished a pistol, but neither rogue had
courage enough to silence the old man by
violence, He freed himself and called for
help. Rollins, seeing the scheme
to secure half million dollars had failed
on the very brink of success, snatched
up $4,000 roll of money and fled, but was
soon overtaken, as was Johnson. DISCUSSES,
weapons, etc, indicating a deep-laid plot,
were found. The accused. after various adj
ventures and two escapes by Rollins, got to
the Penitentiary. Rollins died there over
a year ago, and Johnson, alias Wicks, has
just had his application for a pardon re-
fused by the PARDON Board. Perhaps he
may have better success next time, now
that one obstacle has been removed in the
death of Mr.. MeSsersmith.

The Earth's Great Age.

In recent letter at San Francisco, Pro-
lessor William Denton gave several striking
illustrations of the earth's age. First, he said,
we had evidence of the earth's great age in the
tiny particles of soil beneath our feet. The
great trees of California, with from $50 to
1850 annual rings of vegetable growth, re-
veal the fact that these monarchs of the veg
etable were saplings when Nebuchannezzar
was born. The great fallen Monarch of the
Forest has been estimated to have been T. OOO
years old, and grew from seeds propagated
by older parent trees, and these in turn from
grandparents, whose humble dust forms a
rich vegetable mould to nourish their
younger progeny How man such genera
tons occurred no one can tell.
But older than all these are the glacial
beds. When these plouphed their way over
the surface of North America and Scan
dinavia they planted out mighty beds and
ground and polished down the uneven
surface of a former age. In this remote
age, the coast of New England was like
that of Greenland at the present day.
Few biologists will place the glacial period
at less than 100000 years ago. But we
could go back still further. In the
tertiary strata of California has been
found what are called the earliest human
remains ever discovered. These existed
many, many thousand years ago. when
one-half of New Jersey, one-third of Vir-
ginia, all of Florida, part of Texas and Great
Britain were under water. The Mediterra-
mean Sea was then double its present size,
and the Gulf of Mexico extended to Ohio.
large part of California was under the bed
of the Pacific Ocean, and waters then ex-
tended back to the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains.
But older than this period and formation
was the underlying qualification of chalk;
still older was the Triassic, and older yet, the
new red sandstone. Older yet was the car
| boniferous formation. Then further back
was the old red sandstone, such
as comes to the surface in parts Of
Scotland. Again, still lower, the Older
| Silurian, then the older Laurentian, seen a.
the surface in Western Canada, and Older
yet than all these the granite or great under
lying rock, the parent that thrusts itself VI
as the backbone of continents, cuttinl
through all others to show us on the surfact
what is below. What an infnity of time
must have passed away in the successive,
formation of these rocky layersl

LEE AND LINCOLN.
How the Confederate Chief Heard of the
Presidents Assassination.

Johnny Boquet in New York Tribune.1
Being at Point Lookout, Maryland, during
the week, examining the new railroad from
Washington City to that point, its protector,
s. Taylor Suit, once the Ariel of the Gold
Room in New York, later a Maryland
planter, told this Renaissance:
'There lived near me in Prince George S
County, at Upper Marlborough, cousin and
favorite of General Robert E. Lee named
John f. Lee. He was Judge Advocate of
the United States Army, and when the war
broke out was absurd enough to resign this
comfortable place and his rank of Major 10

relations with him led me TO know Colonel
r. E. Lee slightly. At the close of the war,
about April u, 1865, | made visit to Rich
mond, Va, with the United States Marshal
at Washington, Ward H. Lamon. On Sat
urday night l went to his room at the Spots
wood Hotel, and found him lying on his
bed weeping. l inquired the cause, but he
sobbed that he could not tell me then.
Being mystified and excited, | pressed to
know his grievance, and he finally said: i

and inquired particularly for various

said to him:

Lamon, told me of it, and it has been full,

Pruning Roses.
IAmeriean CultiyatOr. |

In pruning strong-growing roses the end
to be secured is a considerable number of
medium-sized, well-ripened shoots instead
of very few strong ones, as these strong
luxuriant shoots will produce few flowers
In accordance with the above statement a
contributor to a foreign journal says:
THE other day when looking over an anna
teur rosarian's pets plant OF Jean Rosen-
zrantz was pointed out yielding only
wood and leaves. The seasons growth was
at their base thicker than my thumb, and
the general appearance of these stems imme-
diately suggested the reason why flowers
had not been produced. AT the base of the
shoots the buds had gradually become more
prominent, till at the ends they were as
prominent as those on any other roses. To
obtain a supply of blooms next sea-
son the tips of the shoots would merely re-
quire cutting off; but to make permanent
improvement at least one shoot would need
to be cut we'll in, and then, instead of al
lowing the young shoots to grow as they
pleased, their points would require to be
pinched out, when the young growth had
attained a firm condition at least some
inches above its base"

Anew Way TO Raise Setter Dogs.

Henderson IODaccOn1SLl
A citizen of our community has fine
litter of setter dogs. He has been taking
special pains to give them a good start in
the world, and to this end it was his custom
to rise from his bed at short intervals to
feed them 1t became rather tedious bust
ness for him to ''crawl OUT during the cold
winter nights to attend to their wants so he
tried new plan. Setting pan OF milk in
a warm corner behind the stove, he went to
bed and in the small hours the young ca
mines called for food. Thinking to make
one Job of it, he arose in the dark and car
ried the pan carefully to the woodhouse.
when, seizing each pup by the nape of the
neck, he thrust its nose into the pan, and
when all had "got to their work" returned
to his bed. The next morning ne was
aroused by his wife. who wanted to know
what in the world he had done with her
bread-pan. Investigation followed; his wife
wet up batch of bread and set it behind
the stove to rise; this pan our ''shot" had
carried to the pups, and they, after gorging
themselves with the dough, waddled back to
their warEl nest. The yeast was good and
the puppies rose, looking like so many muffs
with the head of the animal used for trim
ming, while their legs and tails resembled
warts on an Early Rose potato.

his notions concerning the duty of paying
public debts, the other man has no better
principles, and heis so unpleasantly and per-
sonally notorious that the possession of the
most admirable collection of frst-class
opinions would not excuse his nomination
for any Office whatever
This is very serious matter-far more
serious than any controversy between Sena-
tors and the President upon question of
patronage. The question no longer is, shall
Senators countenance this renegade and try
to promote his influence in the party he has
disgraced by electing him to an important
Officer although that question was grave
enough. The question now is. shall Senators
consent to stand as apologists for Brady,
Dorsey, and other members of theStar Route
ring. and encourage Gorham to defend them
by abusive attacks upon the President and
his associates?

The Jews and the hotels.
Hebrew Leader.1

AS for the Jewish people, this matter does
not trouble them in the least, and thew are
making no fuss about it. All the talk comes
from outsiders, who are wasting a great deal
of needless and unsought sympathy. The
Hebrew population can easily spend their
money in the manner that is most pleasing
to them, and they experience no difficulty
in finding people who are ready and glad to
take it. Let no mistakes be made here II
is time this senseless chatter about the Jews
and the hotels were stopped. The practical
part about the matter amounts to lust moth.

complaint whatever to make.

IAmerican Cultivator. /

An English correspondent sends us the
following method Practiced in making the
celebrated Stilton cheese: The nights cream
is added to the milk of the following morn
ing, or, if the cheese is desired to be very
rich, still greater proportion of cream. The
rennet is then added, but no colOring matter
is used. When the curd has come, unlike
the method pursued in making most other
cheeses, tits taken out without being broken
and put whole into drainer, where it is
squeezed down hard until the whey is en-
tirely pressed out When dry il is put, with
clean cloth, into a chessel and placed be-
meath the press, the outside being first well
sailed. When sufficiently firm to be removed
it is put upon dry board and tightly bound
around with cloth, which must be changed
daily in order to avoid cracks in the skin,
until it is found to have a coat formed, when
there is no occasion for its further use, and
nothing more need be done to the cheese
than TO brush occasionally and frequently
turn it upside. down upon the shelf where it
may be placed.

Remedy for Cabbage Worms.
american Entomologist.l

OF all the many remedies that have been
tried for the imported cabbage worm since
it first began to spread over the country and
to play havoc with our cabbage fields few,
if any, have given entire satisfaction. 1t is
safe to say that the most satisfactory remedy
so far discovered is in the use of pyrethrum.
We were the first TO apply this in 1879, but
did not care TO recommend it until further
experiments had been made. These we have
made the present year, and caused to be
made by number of our agents and CORE
spondents. The general experience is M ost
favorable, and we unhesitatingly recon-
mend ii for all the different worms affecting
the leaves of our cabbage plants.
