An EdlfyIng Civil Service story.
A very estimable woman, so far as char
acter is concerned, was sent to Senator
Vest, of Missouri, for a position in
one of the departments. Understanding
that clerical position was what was
wanted the senator told her to make her
application in writing. Next day the
good woman brought her formal applicaa
ton. The senator and friend looked
over it and concluded that it clearly
showed tho writer incompetent for the
position sought. She was informed of the
verdict and said with a burst of tears
Now see how easy it is to make mis-

THAT was rather an unpleasant begin
ming for bridal trip down in Virginia,
which witnessed the arrest of the bride
for tho larceny of S130 FROM her uncle,
who had few hours previously cast the
traditional old shoe after the happy
couple wishing them good luck. The in
genuous young creature gave as an ex-
PLANTATION for her singular conduct the
fact that the aforesaid uncle had neglected
to make her suitable wedding gift, and
she supplied the omission by apprOpriat-
ing the money which she found lying in a
convenient place, and which just filled the
bill Of her desires. This did not seem to
have any effect upon the hard-hearted
minions of the law, who hustled her off in
all her bridal 1inery and locked her up
just like any common criminal. There is
q moral in this incident for ambitious
brides and Lhoughtlcss uncies.

position to judge Of the new attorney
general by what he will do and not by
what he has been. If he prove a good
officer he will do himself, the appointing
power and the party credit and service.
1t has not yet been apprehended, we be-
lieve, that he will commit official wrongs.
The fears of the Times and those who
share it's views are that he will abuse his
political advantages to make his party
machine for his own advancement, and
that by prostituting the administration
to this service the Democracy will be
afflicted with the same fatality which,
in the shape of Cameronism, not only
rendered Republican administration in
adequate to public needs, but made the
dominant influences of the party so
odious to a large portion of it that, as a
final and desperate means OF re-
lief from them, party defeat was
allowed by some and aided by others. If
it was to be expected that such a cOndi.
ton of things would ensue to the De-
mocracy from Mr.. Cassidy's appointment
similar results might be predicated with
unerring certainty. But there is this
saving and essential difference, that the
Democratic organization will permit no
such thing as the boss-ship of its Organiza-
ton by its otfice-holders and office
hunters, should that be contemplated, of
which the administration of Mr.. Patti
son and Mr.. Cassidy has as yet made nc
sign.
Mr.. Cassidy has right to be a candi-
| date for United States senator and he
| can, no doubt, aid his election to that
office by attracting public admiration
for the upright and vigorous and intelli
gent discharge of the duties of the place
upon which he has now entered. He can
injure himself and his prospects more
by attempting to establish boss-shiI
over his party than by any other means
1t would be resented by the party on
general principles, and not only because
after Mr.. Cassidy's proclamation of hi:
candidacy for United States senatorshil
he would be suspected of selfish motives
but because his past career has no
shown him to be courageous or sue
cessful political leader.
The Democratic party in Pennsyl
vania will not permit the interests of it
organization to become identical will

calls Cassidyism any more thar

A star Route.

Postmaster Marshall has received in
structions from the department at Wash
ington to receive proposals for carrying
the United States mails between this city
and Rowlandsville, Md. for a period ex-
tending from February 1, 1888, to June
80, 1885, and he has accordingly posted
notices to that effect in the office designat-
ing the route by which the mail shall be
carried. The proposals will remain open
until January 90. and will be forwarded
unopened to the postoflice department.,
who will award the contract under the reg
ulations governing the same, which are duly
specified in the notice. The route, which
is known as No 1888, is one of the ia
nous "Star Routes" so that the success
full bidder will be afforded an opportunity
of gaining celebrity in that department of
national nOtoriety. The present contractor
for carrying the mail is one Gibson, of
Kentucky, who failed in his enterprise,
and the sub contractor has in consequences
refused to longer carry out his part of the
bargain.

agent, who was sleeping in the baggage
car. was awakened by the movement of
the car and aroused James Woodruff,
just as the cars made the jump. The
roof Of the car was split open and both
men were thrown out and severely bruised.
Conners, while lying on the ground,
unable to render any assistance, saw
the train envelOped in flames and heard
the shrieks of the dying victims and saw
them vainly endeavoring to struggle from
the burning ruins. Porter Ashe and wife,
who occupied a drawing room in one Of
the sleepers, were awakened by the crash.
They succeeded in getting out without in
jury, but Of the sixteen other occupants
of the car not one is believed to have es
capped. Meantime, the occupants of the
coach which kept on the down grade sue
ceeded IN stopping it, thereby saving the
lives of some forty occupants of that and
the smoking car. They Immediately walk
ed back to the scene of the accident,
but found only the smouldering
remains of the train and the few
who had escaped with their lives
lying bruised and bleeding in the dark
ness, shivering in the piercing cold night
air, or rendering assistance to each other.
Relief arrived from Tehichipa, four miles
distant, and as soon as possible medical
attendance was sent from Sumner and
Bakersfield, and subsequently from Los
Angeles. A search for the dead soon
showed that twenty one persons had per-
ished. Eleven were beyond all recogni-

limbs being found. OF the body of
Mrs. DoWney only the head and
