GOLDEN DAwN'AND"PIeNEER HIS
TORY OF AMERICA" are the names Of
two striking new books whose merits
we have recently examined somewhat.
The works area contrast, treating Of
very different subjects, yet there is
an unconscious relation between them.
The one treats of the pioneer history
Of the country aud who is not inter-
estcd in the story Of the dangers, pri-
yations and adventures Of the early
settlers Of his country. The other
approaches biblical work. 1t treats
of the subjects: Death, Immortality,
Millennium, and Second Advent, the
Resurrection, the Judgment, the pun
ishment Of the Wicked, and the re-
ward of the Righteous. 1t is such a
hook as can be read by anyone. 1t
gives solace to the christian, chides
the sinner, and encourages the des-
pondent. Every subject is handled
in an intelligent and comprehensive
manner. To book buyers no general
works would be more interesting or
useful

A BAD GANG.

New York Burg lars Operating for "Sport.'
The fire department and police of New
York city have been annoyed for more
than year by false alarms of fire. On
Saturday detectives arrested nine young
men, whose ages range from II to 90
years, and the prisoners have made con-
fessions showing that they not only sent
cut false alarms, but committed burglarie
as we'll. One of them, named McCabe, is
an expert lockmaker, and he fashioned
keys to fit the doors of several stores
where others Of the conspirators were en-
ployed. McCabe was the leader of the
gang. 1t appears from the statements of
the prisoners that whenever false alarms
were sent out several of them would 90
together, McCabe usually experimenting
the expedition and sending out the
alarm. Occasionally they would leave
packages of false keys and notes for the
forcmen acknowledging that it was done
for sport" McCabe said che began to
send out false alarms in 1871" Hughes,
another Of the prisoners, said that, " in
last, Horatio Courtney, his
being employed as clerk in the
silk house Of 7. s. Wheelock, on Canal
street, it was agreed that a bur-

THE LOST STEAMER TACOMA.
Rescue Refused by the Keeper of q LII
Saving Station.


Saving Station.
A dispatch from Empire City, Cal,
says, On Wednesday afternoon, when the
first news Of the wreck Of the steam COL
lier Tacoma was received requesting the
assistance of life boats to rescue the men
on the wreck, 4 crew of eight volunteered,
and proceeded that night after dark
to the life saving station at Cape
Gregory, nine miles from here, where
they arrived about eleven O'Clock that
night, and informed tho keeper Of the
station of the wreck that they came as a
volunteer crew, and that the tug Escort
would be off tho station at daylight to
take them to tho wreck. The men then
proceeded to put the boat in condition
for the trip, and launched her, and with
the keeper in charge went about two miles
to practice tho crew. Shortly after the
tug arrived. The keeper now re-
fused to 60 out or to allow the
men to take the boat. Three of the mel,
gotta small boat from the lighthouse
keeper and went off 10 the tug and in.
formed tho captain of the situation. The
Keepers only excuse for such conduct was
that he would not go without an expert
enced crew. Captain Hill, OF the tu4
Fearless who returned from the wreck OF
Saturday, thinks that if :. life boat and /;
gun for throwing lines had been at tho
place of tho disaster all tho lost on the
Tacoma would have been saved.

A Doubtful Reform.

The Age, York's new and sprshtly
Democratic paper, very properly calls
attention to the remarkable features of
a proposed civil service reform measure
introduced at Harrisburg, labelled " an
act to improve the civil service of Penn
sylvania." 1t proposes 10 create com
mission to examine applicants for en-
ployment in the clerical and subordinate
portions of the service of the state, ex
elusive of laborers, w0rkmen, and those
appointed by and with the consent of
the Senate, and to secure their promo
tiOn on the basis of fitness. To carry
out its provisions there is to
he commission made up of the
lieutenant governor and two guberna.
torial appointees, of opposite PARTIES.
who are to get $4,000 year, and have an
examiner at a salary of So, 200 per annum,
a salaried stenograrher, cOpyist and
messenger, and to draw upon the state
treasurer for the necessary expenses of
the commission.
And what is all this about ? The few
cIerkships in the offices of secretary of
state, auditor general, state treasurer,
secretary of internal affairs and few
other departments, numbering in all
some fifty, accountable to Il half a dozen
different chiefs. TO erect commission
to select their subordinates and to take
out of their hands the appointments of
their clerks is folly. These state officers
are responsible for the manner in which
their offices are administered and gener-
ally select their subordinates with this
view. To absolve them from this re
sponsibility and to surround them with

Refuses the Fees.

The Harrisburg correspondent of the
Philadelphia Sunday World writes the
following
Mr.. Cassidy has had chance to make
clear thousand outside of his salary since
he became attorney general, but he could
not see how he was entitled to the money,
and resisted the temptation which was set
before him. Among the counsel of the
Standard oil company in the recent suit
of the commonwealth against the corpora
tion was Cassidy. He was considered all
able lawyer, and as this great monopoly
always employs eminent legal talent, they
employed him and gave him i substantial
fec. Soon after he took possession of the
Office he was surprised to be informed that
a check had arrived for HIM amounting to
over nine hundred dollars, and that it was
from the Standard oil company, and in
tended to pay the commission in the case,
the attorney general being entitled to five
per cent. Of the amount collected from
| companies which have appealed from
the settlement of the auditor general to
courts. Cassidy refused to take the
money, stating that he had received fee
as counsel for the Standard and could not
take money now from the same corpora
tion in the same case as 4 law officer of
the state, especially since he had earned
none of it. The check was sent back
with the instruction that it be turned into
the state treasury. In declining to ac-
| cept the money Cassidy did not follow in
the footsteps of his predecessors, who ap-
| propriated commissions earned by those
whom they succeeded rs attorney general.
Cassidy is free to say that he favors the
| abolition of the fee system so far rs it re-
| lates to officers of the state. He would
rather have fixed salary even if 1t should
not reach tho amount now received by
the attorney general in fees and salary.
| Governor Pattison is said to he in accord
| the fee system.'

men not of their acquaintance and pos
sibly not having their confidence would
be unjust to the state and to its officials.
Besides, it is by no means certain that
too long continuance of subordinate
officers in place at Harrisburg is the best
thing for the public service. The state
has not suffered from frequency OF
changes there.

THE REYNOLDS STATUE.

What Progress the sculptor Is Making With
the Philadelphia Memorial.
Philadelphia Times.
John Rogers. the sculptor, who is widely
known from his popular groups illustra-
tive of the civil war, and OF domestic
scenes, is now engaged on the largest
work he has ever undertaken, the eques-
trian statue of Gen. Johh F. Reynolds,
ordered by the Reynolds memorial asso-
citation of Philadelphia. He has yet two
years in which to carry out the commits
sion, which is not too long for work Of
such magnitude, but the model is already
we'll advanced. After its completion at
least half year will be required for the
process of casting the statue in bronze.
A regent visitor to Mr.. Rogers studio
at Stamford, Conn.,, thus describes the
work : "TO the casual observer the horse
and its rider appear to be in an advanced
state, but Mr.. Rogers says he has scarcely
made a beginning on them. The size of
the work is colossal, and stands over
twelve feet high. The horse is a model of
beauty. All that is noble in the form of
that animal is embodied in the plaster,
the idea being to show spirited horse as
he would be likely to appear when startled
by the booming of cannon and the excite
ment of expected conflict with the enemy.
The general rests gracefully in his saddle,
accoutred in tho habiliments of war, his
head erect, with face turned to the right,
his right arm uplifted and index finger
pointing, as if to emphasize some com
mand. The features show the fire OF
earnest determination and eagerness fo1
the fray, and tho horse, sympathizipg
with the wishes of his master, has every
muscle strained and is in readiness fol
aught that shall be required of him. MIR.
Rogers has departed from the rule
many sculptors seem to have adopted
of depicting the horse partially OF
wholly at rest, rs, for instance that upon
which Washington sits in Fourteenth
street, New York, and has succeeded in
creating an animal which is, to all intents
and purposes and so far as moulders' i'm.
plements guided by the hand of art. can
make it, alive. He has also produced from
photographs a representation of the face OF
the deceased general which will unhesitat-
ingly be recognized. Like all the works
MIR. Rogers has executed this is study
of itself.-a speaking likeness of the man
recalling wildly the historic field of Get
tysburg. whereon General Reynolds gave
up his life."
