Civil Service Reform.

holders in 1882 by the levy of assess

body is interested to know who were
opposed to reform of the civil service
in 1860 In fact there was only one ad
vocate of the reform then in public life
|-Mr. Jenckes, of Rhode Island. What
people wish to know is who is now op.
posed to civil. service reform. The de.
bates of yesterday in both houses fully
answer this question Not one single
regular Republican in either house rals
ed his voice in favor of reforming the
civil service by putting stop to the
spoliation of it's members. Mr. Van
Wyck, of Nebraska, is an independent
Republican and defeated the candidate
of his party caucus. Hoar and Dawes
we're as dumb as oysters when, for once,
they could have done some good by ad.
vocating from their places what they
delight to advocate in conventions and
in newspapers. Mr.. Hale and Mr. Con-
ger and Mr. Allison in the Senate aud
Mr.. Kassou in the House made haste to
put themselves and their party on record
in support of Hubbell. On the other
hand such Democrats as Senator Pen
dleton, Senator Beck, Mr.. Cox and Mr..
Springer put the Democratic party in
the line of reform; and the only prsc-
tical and comprehensive measure Of re.
torn that has been urged is that OF
which Senator Pendleton is the sponsor

Time Is MOney--An Arkansas Man
and Jay Gould.
Arkansaw Traveller.

Several weeks ago, when Jay Gould
was in Little Rock, he was visited in his
special car by strengthening, oddly
dressed man. "Mr. Could" said the
visitor, "will you be generous enough to
give me ten minutes OF your time 2"-
YES" said the millionaire, in dry,
last-year sort of voice. "Ten minutes,
thank you, sir; write the check ~
"What check ?" SAID the millionaire, in
kind of last month voice. "Perhaps
I'd better explain. A noted mathemati.
clan has calculated your income to be
one dollar per second With you, of
course, time is money face value. Now,
you have given me ten minutes, amount
ing, you see, 10 six hundred dollars
Have you got the money about you, or
will you give me check ?" The mil.
lionaire looked at the man in silence -
"Fll do the fair thing. Make it five
FIVE hundred. Hanged if l don't he
easy With you. Make it four-blame it,
say two hundred" Mr.. Gould looked
long and !Hquiringly at the man, but
didn't smile.

Helm for sunstroke.

Remove the patient to shaded spot
at once. Place the body in sitting pos
ture, the hack against a wall with the
feet and legs resting upon the side walk
and extended in front OF the body. Get
ice water and a bottle of some strong
essence of ginger Pour the ice water
over the head, copiously; never mind
the clothes. Then pour two or three
tablespoonful of ginger in about half q
tumbler of water and make the patient
swallow ii quickly. Keep the head cool
by using little of the ice wster, and in
case there is not much of glow upon
the body give more ginger. If the di-
rections are followed there will be no
occasion for the services of an underta-
ker. Ginger is far the best to use. but
where it cannot be had quickly two or
three drinks of brandy will answer.

Unexpected Criticism.

One OF the most eloquent and popular
clereymen of Austin. Texss, says Har.

The steps leading to his church few
Sundays ago, was asked by a partially
blind old lady, who did not recognize
him, to help her up he steps. just as
they reached the top step she asked him

"Uh, Lord" exclaimed the old lady.
Help me down again. I'd rathe. listen

refuse, hut on reflection he gently assis

A Cool Dress for Horses.
From the Providence Journal.

Few horse-owners perhaps take the
trouble to give their animals cool SUM-
mer dress. Most harnesses are cool and
airy, but the tug and heat are concentra-
ted at the collar, aud there is no reason
why the collar should not be cool and
airy In the State of New York, near
Cayuga Lake, there are miles of mead
ow, or swamp, in which catkins grow in
rank confusion. In progress there for
some time has been the industry of max
ing from leaves of the catkius, or Tags,
horse-colars. They have been made of
husks and straw, but the flag collar is
more generally used. A flsg collar costs
but dollar and quarter, and the
amount saved in horse flesh by its use
cannot be estimated The collar adapts
itself to any neck and shoulders, pre-
vents calling, or cures CALLING, and is
light and conl and cheap.

American vessels at Alexandria.

1t is flsttering to our national pride
to know that Europeans at Alexandria
are fleeing to American men-of-war for
protection and that "Arabi Bey is not
likely to allow any American citizen to
be hurs if he can help it, understanding
well the difference between the United
States and Mr.. Gladstone's Great. Brit
ain." Mr.. jennings, the usually we'll
informed and accurate correspondent of
the New York World, is authority for
these assertions. which seem little wild
in view of the fact that we have not a
vessel in the navy capable of competing
with a second or third rate English
ironclad. or of silencing the Egyptian
batteries on shore should they fire upon
our squadron However, it is comfort-
ing to know that our navy for once is
not an object of ridicule. =

Some Things Learned by a Wife and
Mother Through Her Own Expe-
rience.

AASASNs
The lady who writes in the following
vein gives evidence that she has learned
some things as she has passed through
the vexations and trials of daily life:
l have mind TO tell you little of
my experience as housekeeper and moth
er. First. have realized more fiial
obedience from the judicious use of a
pound of candy, costing twenty cents,
than from the free spplication of whip
which cost twenty FIVE cents I have
improved my disposition, and caused
more real good feeling in the family by
spending half day in making places
for things, than by looking whole week
for things which had no particular place
| have &ccosdpiished more Visible good
by giving child dollar in payment
for lis work than l have by preaching
ten sermons on the nobility of labor,
and the moral and physical benefit de-
rived thcrefrom. I guess YOU would
think so too if you could see the ever
enlarging proportions of our woodpile
since every cord split means two shil-
!ings in the pocket of the splitter.
have also learned by great amount
of careful figuring that a small pair OF
rubbers, waterproof suit and um brella
cost no more than three doctors visits,
and the child will derive much more sat
;sfaction from the former. I have also
come to tue conclusion that three yards
of costly lace or fringe on child's dress
will not do as much toward making them
happy and comfortable as two good
suits OF flannel underclothing, and the
cost is about the same. l have saved q
great deal of heavy washing and wear
of bed clothing by folding a width OF
calico as long as the quilt or comfort
able is wide over the end intended for
the head, making a wide binding which
is securely basted in place and easily re-
moved and washed when soiled.

and filled my home with cheerfalness

NEVER MIND WHAT "THEY" SAY

Don't worry nor fret
About whst people think,
OF your ways or your .ssans,
Of your food and your drink,
Hyou know your doing
Your best every day,
With the right on your side,
Never mind what "they" say.
Lay out in the morning
Your plans for each hour.
+ And never forget
That old time is q power.
This also remember
'Aong truths old and new,
The world is too busy
To think much of you.
Then garner the minutes
That make up the hours,
And pluck in your pilgrimage
Honor's bright flowers.
Should grumblers assure you
Your course will not pay
With conscience at rest,
Never mind what "they" say.
Then let as, forgetting
The insensate throng
That iostles US daily
While marching along.
Press onward and upward.
And make no delay
And though people talk,
Never mind what "they" say.

TRAVEL AT HOME.

An immense food of foreign travel
seems to have set in ever thus early in
the season, and already berths have been
secured some months ahead. Travel is
undoubtedly a good educator, says an
exchange, but in this, as in many other
matters it would be better that it should
begin at home. 1t is just possible that
many American tourists may meet in
Switzerland, and on the continent Of
Europe generally. citizens Of the old
world who can enlighten them as to the
beauties, the grandeur and the marvels
of that America in which they have
hitherto found so little to admire. II the
money annually expended by the "inno.
cents abroad were to be put in ~circula-
tion here, it is likely that a healthy
stimulus would be given to many native
Industries. It ID true that an American
is not a "my lord" while travelling
among the canyons of Colorado, but he is
a sovereign surveying his own dominions,
and that ought to compensate for the alb.
aenoe OF considerable expensive servility.
