that large proportion Of these lAborsrs
are men Of families, and that the sup

depend altogether on the labor Of one
man, it is easy to realizs that men be-

a10 Wi6e's Signature.

A few days ago . well-dresDed young
man entered On express Office in Gin

clerk that he wished to send some
money TO his wife; that she live in Boz
ton in fiat, aud that, her mail being
sometimes tempered with, he would
like 70 know how to send It % that it
would be absolutely safe. The clerk re-

and patting his hand in his pocket, he
brought out bundle Of papers. After
examining several IN succession, a broad
smile spread over his countenance, and,
with . halfdoubtfal expression, said:
"Are you married man?" The clerk
answered that he was: "Well. them"
said he, ''look at this" handing over
one Of the Letters. The clerk looked and
found the cause Of the young mans
amusement to be that the letter was
signed not with his wife's name, but
with the endearing substitute, Your
ootsey tootsey," and It turned out they
were al 80. The clerk then said: "Well,
cut one Of them of, and the agent will
cause her to duplicate it," The gentle
man, after some hesitation, agreed, re-
marking: ''I'll do 1t, but when I get

COMPLETE MANURE FOR CORN
Superphosphate of lime is not COM
plete manure for corn. Corn Is what il
called a gross feeder, and thrives on
fresh barn-yard manure or fresh sod
just plowed under. These. as they de-
compose, produce ammonla which is a
necessary element in any fertilizer that
may be used as substitute for barn
yard manure. The special fertilizer fol-
corn contains 5 per cent. of ammonia
and per cent. of potash, as we'll as lC
to IL per cent. of phosphorio acid; LOG
pounds of ii contains as much ammonia
as 1000 lbs. Of manure, as much potash
as 200 pounds, and as much phosphofie
acid as 5000 pounds. Besides. as the
substances are all in perfectly soluble
condition, this is equivalent to an in.
crease of four or five times the effective
value.-M. Y. Times.

Ben. Hill on Civil Service Reform.

President Arthur devoted considera-
BILE portion of his late message to the
subject of civil service reform, and the
subject has come up for debate in the
Senate. We extract from the Baltimore
Suns report of the Senate proceedings
of the 18th ult., the following pointed
and pertinent remarks of Ben. Hill. of
Georgia.
"Mr. Hill (Ga.) said one great diff
fculty he thought was that while every
body was preaching very earnestly on
civil service reform, nobody was practic-
ing it, and 1t did not seem to make any
difference to the people whether their
representatives were practicing it or
not. While the country was weeping
q Federal judge was soiling his ermine
by indlting letter to the successor of
that President-one who by reason of
the corrupt civil service complained of
had succeeded to the office-appealing
purpose. in the choice language of that
Virginia to control the State election
What was that coalition? It was to
secure to the republicans the officers of
that State. The Senator from Ohio had
said much, but had not told the country
that the President to whom that letter
was addressed, while yet the mourning
sobs of the people were echoing around
him, sat down and made the very ap-
pointment which the Judge had desig-
mated as ''cementing our coalition" and
then, perhaps with the same ink, i had
written homily on civil service re-
form to be introduced into his message
to Congress. Were there not scores Of
men now present in the Senate who had
heard read from that very desk of the
clerk communications from q former
Secretary of the Treasury and q former
President of the United States insisting
upon the removal from the New York
custom. house of the man who was now
that very President, upon the or 3und
that he had made it the headquarters OF
q political party, and that his removal
was necessary to secure an honest adj
ministrasion of public office? Yet
that very man who was removed from
the New York customhOuse on the
ground that an honest administration
of his Office required his removal, was
nominated for the next high Office in
the gift of the people, and. the men
whose communications were sent to the
Senate took the stump for his election.
This was civil service reform, as prac-
ticed by the leaders of the republican
party, and why should not such things
be done? Did not every body know that
every man, high or low, black or white,
who was charged with connection with
| the returning board frauds of 1875 re-
ceived an office from the administration
which obtained the presidency by vir
tue of those frauds2 Had not mem bers
now before him heard witnesses sestify
under oath in relation to that matter
that they had purposely committed per-
| jury for the sake Of obtaining Officer"

The National Republican, Mahone's
Washington organ, which he recently
endorsed over his own signature, be-
cause, we presume, it had so frequently
endorsed him, has been throwing dirt
at the late Postmaster General James.
But the latter, when asked by reporter
OF the New York World what he had to
say in reply, remarked: "Can you sup
pose that could take any notice of the
confessed organ of the STAR route ring ?"
That is rather rough on Malone, Jor-
gensen & Co., all of whom have recon-
mended the Republican for public pat
