Another Prediction.

Schuyler Colcax, in late article in
an Indiana Journal, predicts a severe
panic will unseitle the business Of the
country within a few months. Mr..
Collax sums up his reasons for the pre-.
diclion as follows:
The change in the balance Of trade
which is now against us; the low price
We are getting for our crops; exlrava-
.gance Of the people last year, and tie
very extensive building Of railroads
Money invested in railroads is not like
money invested IN manufactures, which,
if the investment does not prove profila-
bic, can be rcinyesicd elsewhere. Rail.
reads once built, have to remain, whcth.
er they prove profitable or not |
would say, in connection with my pre-
diciion that there will be n financial
siringcncy in the fall, that the reasons
causing it are, Of course, acting now /;
but this is Il dividcnd-paying season,
and the money thus poured into the
country is giving temporary relief
which will PASS away in II few months.

The Alamo.


From the American Rcgister.l
The Alamo-the old stone cathedral
of San Antonio is the Thermopyle Of
the Ney World. Its story only differs
from that told Of Leonidas and his de.
voted band in the fact that of the 1865
defenders Of the Alamo, against 1000
Mexicans, there was no survivor to "tell
it in Laced@mon that we died here in
obedience to her laws" The Alamo
%as bcsieged through eleven days and
nights. At length, when assaulted be-
fore day dawn on every side, and when
it's garrison was exhausted by constant
dangers and tolls, the Mexicans sealed
the stone-wall enclosing the church.
The commander Of the stronghold had
consulted his men. They had resolved
never to surrender. Bowie's body was
found pinned to his bed of sickness by
hayonels. Around the spot ut which
David Crockett served a 13-pounder,
Mexicans were heapcd up rs if to con-
stitu!e fortress for the inyincible Ten
nessecan. Trayis's negro body servant,
Ben, vas still living nine years ago.
His life was spared that he might desig-
nate the bodies Of the fallen chieftains.
Mrs. Dickinson, whose husband was q
Connecticut tladesman and lieutenant
Of Il volunteer company of San Antonio,
occupied small apartment in the base
ment Of the church. Dickinson fell,
sword in hand, at the doorway to this
apartment. Almontc interposed and
made the infatuated drunken Mexicans
spare Mrs. Dickinson and her child,
and this now venerable woman and the
children Of this daughter still live in
Austin, Texas.
But we only proposed to say that the
Alamo is now occupied as q grocery
store. 1t is in the business center Of
San Antonio, and its owner would sell
the property, and, destroying the old
church, mosscovercd by time and with
memories Illustrative of the valor of
Americans, erect new buildings on the
site. There are a million and quarter
dollars in the treasury of Texas, and
the State only owes debt of four mil
lions, fastened on it by the carpet-bag
oligarchy, and Its failure to buy and
preserve the Alamo would be n foul
wrong to American fame and deeds and
history. lfTexas be so false to her own
pride oflocal history and patriotism that
this proudcst monument Of her valor
must perish, even the American Union
should interpose that the Alamo may
tell postcrity forever how brave men
have fought and died for local freedom
the strongest passion, as shown in
New England anniversaries, that under
lies and adorns American character.

Civil Service Reform.

We find in an exchange the following
synopsis Of the Civil Service Reform
Act. We copy it for the benefit of our
readers:
1t provides for the appointment of
three members, not more than two of
whom are to belong to the same politi-
cal party. The Commission is to desg.
nate examining committees after con-
sultation with the Cabinet officer, Gus.
tom Collector or Postmaster, for posi-
lions in whose Offices the examinations
are to be made Examinations are to
be competitive and on the line of the
practical duties Of the positions for
which there is competition. Promotions
are to be made on the basis Of merit and
competition. All appointments, reno
walls and transfers ar, to be reported to
the Commission. No person appoil. ted
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate is to be the. subject of an exami-
nation Appointments are to be appor-
toned among the various States and
Territories on the basis of population,
and applicants must be bona iide resi-
dents Of the localities named us their
homes. No more than two members Of
II single family can get into the same
grade in any public office. Any exam
iner who in his report shows animus
against any candidate is to be deemed
guilty Of misicmcanor and liable to
fine and imprisonment. Recommended.
tons of Congressman are to have no
weight whatever with any examining
board, There is to be II period of pro-
baton for every appointee. Assess
nents for political purposes are prohib,
tied under penalty, and no clerk or
other ofhce-holder is to be removed from
office or otherwise injured because of
non'pariiclpation in political work of
any kind.
