Pulling Oallie's Tooth.

ssThat tooth must come out, said
mamma. Because, you see. 1t was loose.
and there was a new tooth pushing right
along behind it.
eth hurtt'' said Callie, with dole
full quaver.
Not much, / guess answered man.
ma. cheerfully. s'Open your mouth.
dear" and she managed to tie a strong
linen thread around the tooth before
Callie shut her mouth again tight.
Il ca-afat have it pulledn' said she.
Very well, said mamma, vexed a
little, you must keep the string around
it until you can"
Then Callie's trials began. Papa was
going over to the village, and he said
Callie might go with him. But how
could she, with that awful string hang
ing out of her MOUTH
Maybe | can ptfA it. now said Cal
lie. Count ten. mamma"
saOne-two-three-four five six seven
eight-nine-t-e-n,n counted mamma with
long pauses.
s'Oh, can't cried Callie.
And she didn't; and papa wentto the
village without her.
1t was almost Fourth of July. and
there was to be picnic in the grove,
and Mamie Slater said her mother was
going to make currant-pies; Callie
liked currant-p pies above everything else,
to eat. -
s.But YOU CAN'T go to the picnic with
that string" said mamma.
SO, one day, CaIlie went out on the
doorstep and sat down to think it over.
Joe was splitting wood in the yard.
Joe was papa's chore-boy.
.tI'u tell YOU how to pull it." said
he.
..Howe'' asked Callie.
Hitch it to the door-knob and then
open the door," said Joe. IF you're
fraid twill hurt, you needn't open it
but little
s.Wen, will.' said Callie; and she
tied one end of her ''tooth-string to the
door-knob. BUTT wasn't a mite of use,
for when she opened the door she walk
ed right in after it.
'Joe's eyes began to laugh.
II guess III get drink of water"
said he He went in, and pretty soon
he wanted to come out again.
go e-easy! o-ohr' screamed Callie.
But Joe didn't go bit easy. He
banged the door open SO quick that
Callie couldn't keep up with it. And
there hung her tooth on the door
knob
What made yous" she demanded,
and she sat down to cry about it. But
when she found it didn't bleed the least
mite. nor hurt any, she began to laugh
| instead.
ANYWAY. now can go to the picnic
| and have some currant-pie," she said;
land that's one comfort"

Shylock is still .extant in Berlin. An
impecunious schoolmaster applied to
him for q loan the other day. but the
security offered not being of the best
class, he refused to advance the money
till the applicant, who possesses mag
nificent beard, signed bond by which,
in case of non-payment of the loan at
the appointed date, Shylock would have
the right to cut off one-half of the
hirsute ornament, and the proprietor
would not have the right to remove the
remaining half. II they 60 to law over
the bond, which is not unlikely. the
Judge need but consult Shakespeare for
o precedent 1t win be q hair-splitting
case.

Little Flossie was five years old She
had little brother Johnnie, who was

out before him in most tempting array
she raised her large gray eyes and said;
johnnie, play you said, Sister. won't
you have some o. my goodies?"
Little Johnnie, looking as grave as a
Judge, replied, .'Flossie, play I said Il
shan't do il"
Flossie dropped her head. feeling she
had met her match.

As most recently explained the con-
termination of the waters of the Schuyl-
kin is due to the sulphuric acid con-
tanned in the pumpings from the coal
mines that are discharged into the river.
These pumpings, says the superintend-
ent of the Philadelphia waterworks,
have increased in amount. while the
limestone water, q natural neutralizer
of the acid held in solution in the former,
has decreased.

civil service reform in every great
post-ottce, custom house, and de
partment of the government. 1t
has been tried in those at New
York, and has succeeded admira-
bly,. 1t insures good service on
purely business principles, and
1t has resulted in large savings in.
expenses wherever it has been
tried, whether here or in England.
1t will save public men from the
waste of most Of their time Incl
dent to the practice in vogue, artd
it will leave them free to devote
their energies to theirproper duties.
After some experience in public
affairs, and after an examination
into the practical workings of The
system as member of the Civil
Service committee Of the Senate.
| am fully satisfied that this svs.
TEN should be properly adopted
and worked out 10 what re-
gard as an assured success in
this country. 1t will come. and
come in the near future. This
force is a balance Of power in this
country, and it will as I hope and
believe, control the next Presi-
dental election. Had President
Arthur seen this, and acted .r-
eordingly, he might have been a5-
own successor. There NAV he tine
yet, but / fear there is not. I have
small hope of his conversion TO this
view
Nothing could illustrate more
strikingly the immense progress
which this movement has made
than that a Senator Of Penusyiya-
MIA should fling down the gauntlet
to his colleague, the chief repre-.
sentative of the spoi!s system, and
stake his political career apon the
result of the contest.

Senator Mitchell.

An interview with Senator
Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, is pub.
lished in the Philadelphia Press, in
which the Senator states clearly
the nature of the independent
movement, which is the most i'm
portant event in current politics.
The Senator is careful to say that
it is not a movement against per-
sons, nor is it a scramble for place.
Its object is better methods of
party and government administra-
ton, and the destruction Of patron
age as a personal or iachonai
power. II the Republican party
is to hold together as controlling
force in the election OF 1884, Sena-
tor Mitchell and his friends hold
it to be indispensable that the
''boss" and "machine" system of
party government should be over
thrown.
Now the boss aud the "ma.
chine" are everywhere the logical
result OF the spoils system. They
are defended, as Tweed and his
ring were defended, rs merely
leadership and organization. But
this is trick OF words which did
not save Tweed; nor will it save
any boss, although, unlike Tweed,
he be personally reputable man.
While the system remains there
will be always bosses and ma
chimes. The independent Repub-
licans in Pennsylvania, therefore,
are not merely declaiming against
a boss whom they do not like, for
the benefit of one they do: they
are not angry because others con-
troll the offices which they wish TO
control; but they aim at placing
the civil service on another basis
than personal influence. If their
convention shall speak as strongly
as Senator Mitchell, it will mark a
new departure in politics. The
Senator says:
1.-THE National Administration
appears to be determined to stand
by this Stalwart use of the spoils
system to perpetuate itself. This
IS a suicidal policy, and it will
fail, as it deserves to fail. The
: President has power under exist
ing laws to inaugurate true

The Result OF the Election.

TILL the official returns are
all in from the various pre-
cincts in the county and passed
upon officially, nothing positive
can be stated on closely centest-
ed results. Reed is elected with
out a doubt; he has fifty majority
in this county, sixty i'll Columbia,
and, we are informed, has forty in
Tillamook; his majority will in
any event, not yet reported, he
considerably over one hundred.
Between Smith and Hobson, the
fight is closer; it is generally con-
ceded that Smith is elected. In
the county offices, McGnire is
elected judge, Trenchard county
clerk; Twombly, sheriff; Heilborn
is prbably elected treasurer, and
W. W Parker, assessor; these last
two being still in doubt; Fisher
and Leinenweber seem to lead
for commissioners; G. F. Parker
is elected county surveyor, IL.
Sloop, school superintendent, and
B. b. Franklin coroner.
In the state the entire Repubii-
can tickee is elected, by maiorities
varying from 1000 to a40o. Tn
expected gains and losses make it
impossible to say at this writing
how the next Legislature will be
in the senate, and assembly, but
it seems certain that the Republi-
cans have a majority on joint
ballot, thus electing Il Republican
United States senator to succeed
Senator Grover whose term ex-
pires next year, This is counting
two Republicans from Clatsop and
Tillamook, one from Columbia,
five from Yamhili. two from Wash
ington, one from Linn, four from
Clackamas, six from Douglas, two
from Benton, nine from Marion,
ten from Multnomah, four from
Polk, one from Wasco and one
from Grant. This would give
the Republicans, including all
hold overs, y-eight votes, it
taxing forty-six to elect on joint
ballot.
