THE assistant commissioner, V. d. Stock

" Because he is in the line Of promotion.

followed up this move by throwing
four companies still more to my left,

railway. The enemy retired slowly
before us. Five of their seven

COMPLAINTS are rife of the cruelty
to animals practised at the Pound.
Some animals were kept from Thurs
day afternoon till Saturday with
scarcely any food, and as there is no
grass in the Pound the poor dumb
animals could neither satisfy their
wants nor signify them to others.
We think some notification to owners
should he given when animals are in
the Pound-say, a weekly list pub
lished in each of the papers. And a
proper supply of food ought to be
obtained and given regularly to every
animal in the Pound.

On the Goth of June the French
Legislature passed, by large ma
jority, an act authorizing the sale Of
the Crown jewels. 1t is suggested
that if Colonel Judd will hurry up he
may secure few genuine Crown
jewels, and possibly a Crown. But
we think the French Crown is not a
safe one to get, as it has 6 knack of
falling off, much to the wcarer's dis
comfort. They also passed the long
talked Of Divorce Act.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-After tn morn
| ing hour Senator Beck called up his politi-
| cal assessment resolution.
After debate the resolution and Senator
| Hale's substitute were referred to the judi
| @ary committee.
Senator Plat was relieved of the chair
| manship of the committee on pensions.
Senator Pendleton's civil service bill was
resumed, Senator Hawlev taking the floor.
He argued that something must be done to
reform our civil service. The continuance
of the present system was rendered impos-
sible, not only by the evils under it, but
also by the extraordinary growth of the
country and the increase in the number of
public Offices The time for the action has
come. and he (Hawley) hoped the senate
would press this plain, simple, practical
bill.
Senator Pendleton favored both amend
ments. but thought it was already provided
for in the bills, but Senator Pendleton hav-
ing charge of the bill, assented to the
amendment and it was adopted.
9 On motion of Senator Sherman the pro
vision for payment of the expenses of the
commission were limited to travelling ex-
penses
Senator Coke offered an amendment,
which was ordered printed. providing
that
For the purpose of equaliZ n appoint
ments between the several states and terri
tories and the District of Columbia, and
also between the political parties, all per
sons now in Office, place, or employment.
who would have been within the operation
of the act had it been in force when they
respectively entered the public service,
shall, within twelve months of the ap-
prevail of this act, comply with the terms
and conditions of the applicants under this
act for original entrance into service, or
yacate the places heldtby Them
The formal amendment reported by the
committee was agreed to. The question
was then on Senator Hoar's amendment
providing that the competitive examina-
tons shall be as rar as possible. on such
subjects as are embraced in good COM
mon school education. After some DIS
cussion Senator Hoar waived this amend
ment, in favor of one offered 10y Senator
Logan providing that the examinations
''shall be practical in their character and
shall relate to matters which will fairly
test the fitness and capacity of the appli-
cants to discharge the duties of the service
into which they seek to be admitted.
Senator Allison explained that the OBJ
ject of his amendment offered Yesterday
as substitution the first section of the
Pendleton bill, was to provide that there
shall be three commissioners instead of
FIVE, and that the commission shall be com
posed of persons not connected with the
department Pending consideration of
the amendment the senate went into ex-
ecutive session.

THE RAILROAD SETTLEMENT.

New YORK, Dec. 13.-The story to-
night is that the railroad war is at an end
Rates have been restored, and an agree
ment will be signed tomorrow by the
Presidents of the different roads, binding
themselves not to violate the contract. that
is, to ''scalp" tickets. for the period of one
year, under the usual penalty, supposed to
be $500.
In regard to the division of traffic, 1t is
said that each road will get all the business
il can, and that no agreement of percent
age exists The story about the CONSOLE
dation of the Northwestern and Omaha
roads is not considered by those who should
be authorities TO be an idle Tumor. Both
Hughitt and Porter refuse to speak on the
subject. but it is more than likely that
Hughitt will be president of the Omaha
and still retain his position as general
manager of the Northwestern road Said
Mr.. Riddle, Il have no doubt but Wander
bilt either has purchased the controlling
interest of the Omaha railroad, or he is
acting in this matter for the Northwestern,
which is synonymous. | think Porter will
be glad to resign his position. He was
anxious to do SO in 1881. The whole war,
as it is called, has had by far too much
Importance attached TO it. !"

1t is generally agreed that one of the
most frequent motives impelling men to
suicide is the passion for notoriety and
the morbid pleasure of anticipating the
grief, the pity aud the speculation pro-
duced by theatrical demise. A singular
illustration of this belief WIS lately fur
nished bp young man named Cox who
lived in Bnckatunna. Miss He attended
a rural merrymaking and danced frequent
ly during the evening, informing his
partners one after another that he should
die before the company broke up. That
gloomy announcement was taken for
joke, and did not interrupt the hilarity of
the occasion. Finally at about l o'c.ock,
as the guests were preparing to separate,
he arranged a number of chairs aroud the
sides OF the room, placed one for himself
in the centre, and requested the company
stosbe seated. Then, having declared that
he had strayed from the path of duty, and
would never look his mother in the face
again, he drew pistol from his pocket
with the remark This never fails, ?" and
blew his brains out.
