CHURCHES On THE WELSH COAST
Along the entire coast OF Wales certain
striking characte. istics are observed in
the churches. Here is group of Welsh
churches; look at their towers each more
ronderous than the next It needs no
argument to convince us they were
meant for strongholds as we'll as campan-
lies. They could almost defy the waves
OF ocean. like the cliffs; have done SO,
indeed, in certain instances when the
seas have risen in storm and fury and
plunged roaring inland to the church
doors The aspect of these places OF
worship is we'll in keeping with the
shore scenery to which they give charac
ter. The rough weather they are ofte n
doomed to encounter in their generally
exposed situations, is provided against by
al entire absence of external ornameA-
tation, aud rugged solid simplicity OF
construction. Many Of them have been
restored in the present century-some
rather too much restored; but Others err
ia this regard by omission rather than
commission. The feelings Of the anti
quarry are offended by the introduction OF
iacongruous pointed or staring square
headed windows and such like base jnser-
tions; but even this is more endurable
than the neglect which has been allowed
to fall on many of these old sea-coast

KILLING RATS By ELECTRICITY
Ralph s'orbit, an ingenious 12-year-old
boy o. Honeybrook, Chester County, has
devised novel plan of getting rid OF the
rats which infest his fathers cellar. He
has constructed out OF OIL fruit jars a
battery of three Leyden jars, which he
connects and places upon a large iron
plate which touches the tin foil on the
outside The bait is SO arranged that
when the rat steps upon the plate ana
seizes the bait he at once makes the con-
nection between the outside aud inside of
the jars and they are discharged through
his body, killing him literally as light
ming. He charges the jars by means o.
an electrical machine, also constructed
10y himself He ran a couple of wires
through the floor to the cellar from the
room above, and as soon as he would
hear a rat squeak he would Immediately
recharge the battery. The first time he
put the machine in operation he slaught-
cred twenty-five rats in a space of three
hours. and in two days the cellar was
entirely cleared of the pests Chester

GOVERNOR Cleveland, of New York,
paws no heed to the desire of the people
in the line Of civil service reform, and no
sooner takes his seat than be inaugurates
Che old form of things by displacing all
the worthy republicans he finds in Office
and supplying their places with good,
staunch, reliable partisans of the true
democratic stripe. We fancy Cleveland's
action in this matter must be disappont-
nent to many Of his republican support
ers. The lesson, however, may net be
lost on these gentleman Of such easy re-
publican virtue that they could not lay
the JUNCTION to their souls Of supporting
Judge Folger, but had no conjunction,
whatever, Of giving their voice and votes
Co Mr.. Cleveland. Perhaps by this time
they discover that the publication of poll

To the Editor Of the IntellIgencer.
SIR The news reached US to-day through
the 1STELLIGHNCER, that the Hon. John Z.
Kenna was on Tuesday night nominated
by the Democratic caucus for United States
senator 10 succeed Hon. Henry G. Davis.
This news is not surprise to those who
have taken the pains to inform themselves
upon the subject. The decree went forth
some time since settling that question. In
this connection We wish to ask question,
that is what has become OF the Union or
War Democrats OF this State-they have
not been heard Of since the year 1872. The
election Of kenna will give the Confeder-
ates in the next Congress five out OF six
from this State.
1t is rumored that the Hon. Frank Here.
ford as soon as he reached Wheeling saw
the handwriting on the wall and that his
loyalty to the Union influenced him more
than his vote on the railroad bill to with
draw from the Senatorial contest. The
same Is also said OF Tyler county's distin.
guished son Colonel Dan johnson, who,
after mature consideration, decided to
withdraw as a candidate for Clerk OF the
Senate. From present indications, II you
will listen you will hear something drop
before many years. 0. X.

From this statement, for the compilation
Of which credit Is due TO Mr.. James Lynch,
OF New York, it is apparent that the sup.
ply in New York City was 1880 pounds
greater on January |, 1888, than on the
corresponding day OF 1882. OF this excess
24S, $50 pounds were domestic aud 463, $50
pounds were foreign woods. In Boston
there were l,0S0,0O0 pounds Of domestic
and 2,G2S, 600 pounds Of foreign woods less,
and In Philadelphia there were S08,500
pounds OF domestic and 4l,600 pounds OF
foreign less than on the LIST OF January,
1852. The total OF shortage Of domestic in
the three markets was 1900, $50 pounds;
and OF foreign woods the total decrease was
2,2ll $50, making u grand total OF 8, sol 900
pounds less than the supply OF year ago
Estimates OF the wool production oil the
United States place the yield for 1882 at
$500. 100000 pounds, or l00,000,000 Of
pounds more than that Of the next pre-.
ceding year, aud last years imports oil
foreign woods were 19566,600 pounds
more than those the year before. These
two items gave 29,5G6,G00 over the total
supply OF 1881, and to those should be
added the 3,SOl, 600 shortage in the mar
kets, making total Of S2,S6S, 100 pounds
more Withdrawn for consumption last
year, than was used in the year 1881.
With such activity in manufacturing
woolens and such an increase in imports
there seems to be no immediate danger OF,
wool'growing in the United States being
overdone.

Under the H.yes Administration.

H. L. Nelson In February Atlantic.
The contrast between the spoils and the
meritsystems was splendidly illustrated in
the administration OF Mr.. Hayes. The
Department OF the Interior furnished the
contrast. In 1t there was real reform OF
the civil service. No one was appointed
until after he won the place in a competi.
tive examination; no clerk was removed
except for cause and hearing. The re.
form suffered because 1t was not general,
and because it felt the influences that pre-.
vailed throughout the other departments
OF the government. Assessment collectors
threatened its clerks, although the secre.
tary forbade the circulation OF their papers
within the department, and there was al-
ways the fear Of what the next secretary
might approve or disapproye. Work
that ought to have been done by
a special commission had to be
done by committee OF the clerks Of the
department, in addition to their regular
duties. But, notwithstanding all the draw.
backs that resulted from the general in.
difference OF the administration to the
movement, Mr.. Schurz's experiment was a
decided success; and it is surprising that
the advocates OF a reform OF the civil ser.
vice have not made more use OF it, as an
argument. 1t certainly demonstrated that
the adoption OF the English system, or
something like it, Is practicable in this
country. 1t gave the Interior Department
better clerks than II had ever had before,
and, what is more, 1t gave the Secretary
practically all his time to devote to the
work OF the Government. He had no ap.
plicants for place-to trouble him, for 1t
very soon came 10 be understood that sue.
cess in a competitive examination was the
only way open to seekers after employ.
