CIvIL-sERvICE REFoRMERs.
The Executive Committee Expresses Its Dis
approval of the Removal of MIR. Burt.

New YORK, March S.-The executive COM
mittee of the National Civil-service Reform
League, George William Curtis president,
after expressing "Its high sense of the signal
ability, fidelity and success with which, by
general consent, Silas W. Burt has discharged
the duties of naval officer of the port of New
York." adopted the following.
Resolved, That the removal of such an officer,
effected by his nomination to another position,
although involving on his part great and unnec-
essary personal sacrifice, might have been re-
garded as intended to promote reform, had he
peen replaced by successor equally interested
ana Jealous in the reform system; but the sub
stltntion for the late naval officer of gentleman
without experience in the duties of the office,
ana unfrendy TO reform at time when abso-
lutte hcelity TO its principles in this leading of
nee is of the utmost Importance to "A success of
The system, not only in New York but
IN III the whole country forblds that
the nomination offered him would have pro-
duced the false impression that he held his re-
moval, ana the appointment In his place of an
opponent of the new system, to be in accordance
with the principles of reform. We, therefore,
regard his removal, however ngeniously devised,
as serious blow at reform in Its strongest hold,
grave embarrassment of the work OF the civil
service commission, aud a violation of those
sound principles of administration which the
country has approved, which the President has
commended in two messages to Congress, and
which Congress has enacted into law.
''heSolNeu, mat Wlllle the nomination OF the
members of the civlservice commission indi-
Gates due regard for the public sentiment
which demands reform, the removal of Mr., Burt
with certain other removals and appointments,
shows that the course OF the administration upon
this subject is doubtful and uncertain, and not
based upon the fundamental principle of the re-
form system, namely, that appointments
OF officers are public trusts, in which proved
capacity and fitness should be retained unless
the public welfare, without regard TO supposed
personal, partisan or factional interests requires
"a change.
"Resolved, That in view of the action of the
administration in regard to the naval officer of
New York ana of difficulties of many kinds
which will embarass the work of the civil-ser-
vice commission, earnestly recommend 10
every association composing the natianal league
not TO relax it's diligence in exposing the abuses
and evils which it is the object of the commits
sion to correct; in insisting that the late law to
promote reform, passed in obedience to public
sentiment, shall be enforced according to its
spirit and purpose, less than its letter, and in
demanding the repeal of the aUt of 1920, limit
ing the terms of important offices to four years,
which, by periodically vacatng all snch offices,
enables mere personal and partisan objects to be
accomplished without the odium of arbitrary
and causeless removal"

Physical Exercise.


DR.. Sargent, of Harvard College.
Walking of itself is of no value as an ex-
ercise, but a spirited walk is one of the finest
of all physical exercises. If man enters
heartily into this exercise he will be bene-
flied by it. Horseback riding is an excellent
exercise for circulation, as very little of the
nervous energy isexpended For a person
who uses the mind excessively however
this form of exercise is not good as
it produces nervousness. Swimming is, with
outexception, one of the finest of all physical
exercises. 1t develops especially the lower
portion of the chest, the legs and arms. Run
ming at regular and fixed pace; boxing, to
teach one to keep the temper under adverse
circumstances; rowing and canoeing to
strengthen the upper part OF the thorax and
chest, are useful The benefit to be derived
from regular practice in a gymnasium, by
which the mind and nerve-centres are so
trained that they have certain amount of
control over the body, so that, while the
muscles may give out, this mental power
when once obtained by physical training will
never be lost, is of the greatest account.

BURNING HIM UP.
How an Unfaithful Chinese Wife Got Rid of
Her Husband.

ST. LOUIS, March S-Hon John A Holder
man, United States minister in Bangkok,
Siam, sends to friends letter containing the
following account of murder happening
there:
ION the morning of the 9th of December
a Chinese sailor named All Lin was muir
dered by his wife in most horrible manner.
1t appears that the wife of the murdered
man did not like her husband, and during
his frequent absences at sea she used to adj
NIT number of lovers at various times. On
the evening OF the Goth the murdered man
left his house to join his vessel. Suspectiug
the fidelity of his wife, he returned
home between the hours of and 8
in the morning, and found his wife
in bed with one of her lovers,
who quickly made MS escape. The wife
eventually appeased her susband's wrath
supplying him with plenty of samshoo
and making him drunk When he lag down
and went to sleep his wife saturated the bed
with kerosene oil and poured lot over him.
She then set fire to the bed and made her es-
cape. The man was rescued by his neigh
bors after having been horribly burnt. He
rallied little, but succumbed to his injuries
on the 2Sth oil December The murderess
was caught on the 18th and taken to the
Halfangs Yamen, where she will be tried,
and, if found guilty. probably the second act
of horrible tragedy will take place. Accord
ing to Chinese laws the wife who murders
her husband is to be fayed alive, the pun
ishment sometimes lasting two or three days,
as the executioners are very careful not to
touch vital part"

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March s.-The Appeals
Skipwith, Miss, special says: During a
storm, accompanied by heavy waves, the
maine levee at Elleslies gave way, yesterday
evening, in three places. Efforts have been
made to close the breaks, but without sue
cess. The water is running over Elleslie's
plantation into Sleets bayou. Shipland's
and Ford's plantations will be overlooked.
1t the river does not rise more than one foot
many places will escape being submerged,
Reports from Bolivar and Washington coun-
ties are favorable. The protection levee
here is still intact, and no fears are enter
tanned OF its breaking. A large force has
been at work for several days"

Pardon of One of the james Gang

ST. LOUIS March S.-Governor Crittenden
has pardoned Clarence 1Iite, noted mem
Der of the James gang. who pleaded guilty
10 train robbery in February, 1882, and was
sentenced to twenty-five years imprison-
ment. The pardon was ISSUED on the recon-
mendation of the penitentiary physician
and board of inspectors. Hlte is in the last
stages of consumption. and since his incar-
ceration has been in the hospital two thirds
of the time he is weak and emaciated and
his voice is nearly gone. Accompanied by
his brother-in-law. he has started for his
fathers home, in Logan county. There is
speculation as to the effect OF Hites pardon
upon Frank James's prospects. 1t is be-
iieved ii he went on the witness stand, or
made deposition, he could send James to
she penitentiary.

LITTLE Rock, March S.-The water con-
tinues to rise in the Mississippi at Arkansas
City, on the Mississippi river, and the citi-
zens have no means of communication ex-
cept boats. There is four feet of water in
the Parker House, and the backwater covers
the Little Rock, Mississippi River & Texas
railroad for eleven miles. Though commu-
Dication is still maintained, the only ground
visible in town is near the elevator. There
is considerable suffering among the poorer
classes as all industries have stopped ana no
provisions have been made to relieve the
destitute. For several miles the railroad
track is kept from floating off by covering
the ties with railroad iron, and thousands
of sacks filled with earth have been piled
three or four deep on the sides to protect the
track

MIR. BEECHER ON THE HORSE.
A Few Remarks Horses in General, and
Tribute to Dogs.

A Few Remarks Horses in General, and
"a Tribute to Dogs.
From Address Before American Veterinary College,
Mr.. Beecher said he had not dared to trust
himself to the delivery of an eXtemporane-
GUS address, and he hoped the audience
would bear with him while he read from
manuscript. 'In fact, you've got to-" he
said, Human life may be Of more import
ance than the life OF an animal" he contin-
ued, land yet the veterinary surgeon may
rank as high as him who ministers to hui
manity. man need nos necessarily be an
ass because he cares for horses If ever
there was a faithful animal it was the horse
In the opalescent vision of St. John in the
Apocalypse the horse was deemed worthy of
being associated with the gods. Loving lib
erty, how readily he submits to bondage. He
is ten times stronger than man, and yet how
submissive to mans will! Ifa horse but knew
| his rights and his power, no man could
abuse or maltreat him. His self-abnegation
deserved better fate HE is the servant of
all and the slave of all and abused of ALL"
He begins life with one year as a colt and
when at last he has ceased to be useful to the
peddler he has 1.-THE only privilege of his
life-the privilege of dying" In war the
horse is ''as sensitive to danger as the most
nervous of men. When the trumpet calls he
swallows his fear ana offers his life as readily
as brave and patient man. Yet for him
there is no reward, no glittering medal, no
honorable mention in the Gazette and no
pension" The draft horse was more to be
admired than the racer. He was the family
friend. What debt was due him which was
never repaid. THE physician uses
him from door to door, and
collects his inevitable and memorable fee,
but the horse gets nothing but the
privilege of going again, and often without
even an oat-stiver' 1t ought to give man
pleasure to be called to minister to the suf-
ferings of this most human and most abused
OF all animals" Then there was the COW,
mot the one that postures at the pump, nor
the distillery COW that the devil fosters, but
the cow that lies under the shadowy trees in
summer and looks as sleepy as an August
clergyman" She was the best physician for
children. This is an age of humanity" he
said, in conclusion. MEN are sensitive to
suffering as they never were before. Cruel
laws are passing away and even cruelty in
Strengthening animals is discountenanced. Do
not let any man look down on you because
he ministers to mankind while you minister
to suffering brutes Let your names be re-
membered for your fidelity, your humanity,
and your science"
