The commissioners who were appointed
under the act Of January 10, 1888. entitled
"An act to regulate and improve the civil
service Of the United States" entered
promptly upon the discharge Of those
duties. A series Of rules framed in accord.
ance with the spirit OF the statute was ap-
proved and promulgated by the President.
In some particulars wherein they seemed
defective those rules were subsequently
amended. Il will be perceived that they
discountenance any political or religious
test for admission TO those offices IN the
public service to which the statutes relate.
The act is limited In its original application
to the classified clerkships In the several ex.
ecutiye departments at Washington, mum
boring about 6, 600) and to similar positions
in custom districts and postofiiceS where as
many as fifty persons are employed. A
classification OF these positions analogous
to that existing in the Washington offices
are duly made before the law went into
effect. Eleven custom districts and
twenty.three postoffices were thus
brought under the immediate operations OF
the statutes. The annual report Of the Civil
Service Commissioners, which will soon be
submitted to Congress, will doubtless
afford the means OF more definite judg-
ment than am now prepared to express
as to the merits Of the new system. am
pursuaded Its effects have thus far proved
beneficial. Its practical methods appear
to be adequate for the ends proposed, and
there has been no serious difficulties In
carrying them into effect.
Since the 10th OF July last, no person, so
far as I am aware, has been appointed to |
the public service in the classified portions |
thereof at any OF the departments or at
any OF the postofices and custom districts |
above named, excepting those certified by |
The commission to be the most competent !
On the basis Of the examination held In con.

Work at the sardne factories has not been yery

that the catch of fish will be very small this

The Fall of the Year.

The mist lies white along the hill,
But in the woods the winds are still,
Save when erewhile some faint breeze stirs
The dusky thickets of the frs;
The beeches lift each leafy limb
Like pillars in cathedrals dim,
While through the frail enhancement glows
The lingering sunsets golden rose;
Here where no wandering feet will pass,
| lay me on the tangled grass
And raise anon my tired eyes
Toward fair blue fields of paradise.
The beechnuts dropping on the ground
Shiver the calm with riffs of sound,
While lazily across the moss
The spider spins the silvern floss,
The flowers are gone, the dogwood blooms
No longer mid the forest glooms,
And on the tall plumes of the ferns
The red rust of the autumn burns;
Adown untrodden woodland ways,
The sumachs, like great torches, blaze.
And NAPLES, streaked with yellow beam,
Make brighter still the sunsets dream.
The blue knob lifts its pine-crowned crest
la lovely grandeur toward the west,
And lit with gold l see the way
Where once we two were wont to stray;
Oh hand i'll hand We roamed together
In time of Indian summer weather,
And toiled far up that rugged steep
To watch the fair day fall asleep;
Beneath us stretched the lonesome land.
Encircled by purple band.
While all the wide west seemed to be
y fairy-land beyond the sea.
The glory and the grace are gone,
And all the green woods stand fororn,
Since Joys that made life's holiday
With thy lost friendship passed away:
| will not scale the hill to see
A heaven that shines no more for me,
And when the wind with plaintive moan
Recalls gracious presence flown,
Fen as | watch the sunsets change,
| do recall face grown strange,
And down the dim aisles dream | hear
Thy footsteps flying with the year.
The skies grow wan, the woods are still,
The last CLEAN darkens on the hill,
And light and splendor flee afar
To haunts beyond the evening star:
Farewell, fair summer, evermore,
Farewell, We golden days of yore
Lost friend, what shall | say to thee
VINO gazed on fairy-land with me:
Nainy l strive to frame in speech
\ message words may never reach,
Nainly | strive to break the spell
That holds me yet-good night, farewell.
