he heard rumbling noise, and think
ing some one was driving up to where
he was with a team, he thought he
would go up out of the we'll and see
who it was and what was wanted.
Imagine his surprise when he came to
the surface to see no one i'll sight. He
went back again to work. Again the
rumbling noise was heard, but he paid
no attention to it but went on with his
work. He soon noticed water bulb
bling up iii the center, and thinking
he had struck q vein, he concluded to
dig round hole just large enough to
set in barrel. While digging, this
rumbling noise increased, and soon
the water came buhbiing up quite free
~. Thinking it about time for him to
get out, he pulled down his ladder,
and as it came down it went into the
small hole in the center and went
down, down until nearly out of sight,
when upit came again followed by a
larger volume of water. The man
managed to grasp the ladder, and
mounting it soon reached dry land.
The we'll filled up at once 10 within
four inches of the top, and is conti-
nually boiling and in motion. The
water is soft and is said to be good tast-

An Opinion on the Pine Land Question.

Fargo Republican,: A few days since
the Republican published a long
letter from w. H. Stardish, of Bart
lett, D. r., concerning the pine land
question of Northern Minnesota. Mr..
Standish has evidently studied the
question deeply and the plan he has
evolved is one that will strike Il re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of all set
tiers on these broad treeless prairieS.
Mr.. Stanlish wants congress to pass a
law that will substantially make the
government the guardian and trustee
of these pine fields for the people and
the coming generations. The land is
never to pass, in fee, from the govern
ment, but every citizen is to he permit
ted to go upon them,a d ut therefronl
as much or rs little rs he chooses, upOi,
an equitable scale of stumpage rates.
Thus will the government head Of
great monopolies on the one hand and

duction, ON the other. A settler in d.
kuta, after the falling of the snow ii.

generations unborn would have,

as their shoulders became broad
enough to bear an axe.
This is a matter in which Dakota il
deeply concerned and now that con-
gress is in session her people ought t.
take hold of the question and use their
utmost exertion to have bill passed
which will make reasonably cheap
lumber and rid the Northwest of a
pine land monopoly. Mr.. Standisl
suggests that the subject is one that
could we'll come before the chamber
of commerce of the various cities of
the Northwest, and systematic effort
inaugurated to compass the desired re-
form. Mr.. Standish will gladly furn-
ish any desired Information in the
matter on application to him. We
have only in brief mentioned the pri-
mary aim Of reform, as he has before
discussed the subject at length in these
columns, and urge immediate action
in the premises.

London Spectator: We are often
asked where, in the great empire Of
China, power really resides, and we
believe the best short statement is
this. Subject to certain immovable
customs, the Emperor, in his capacity
of father of the people, can in theory
give any order, and can in practice
punish with decapitation or exile any
official or person who disobeys it.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The Revolution Which Will Take
Place in Gotham January 1.

Place in Gotham January 4.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The biggest change
in this case amounting to revolution
which the new year will bring to
the metropolis will be the "Regula-
lions for Admission to the Civil Service of
the City of New York" Such thing was
never attempted in this city before, and there
can be no question that it will create the
liveliest kind Of a time among the local po-
Utica, leaders. These latter gentlemen have
heretofore been in the habit Of getting "their
men" into position by the strength of their
political "pull," and it will come strange to
them when all this shall be changed. Under
the new regulations a man who never saw a
politician or leader to know him in his life will
have as good chance as the nephew of an
alder man, the son of a commissioner, or the
cousin of a judge. The regulations have been
printed in pamphlet form quietly and will
burst upon the district leaders like thunder
bolt at the opening of the new year. Mayor
says he has formulated them "in the exercise
of the authority conferred on the mayors of
certain cities by the eighth section of Chap
ter 1854 of the laws of the state OF
New York. passed May 4, 1883" The regula.
tions apply to all positions in the service OF
the city except elective officers and all posi-
tons in the police, health, fire, educational,
and law departments, and all positions where
the incumbents have the custody of public
moneys, for which any head Of an Office has
given bonds and is responsible, and all posi-
lions flied by nomination by the mayor and
confirm ed by the aldermen. Old politicians
agree that their occupations are gone, in this
direction at least.

The rest of America is indebted to
Baltimore for more good things than

Naturally enough the professional
tramp keeps away from the woodward.
He has no use for an institution where
labor is exacted as an equivalent for

woodward, without any uneasiness of
conscience lest they may have sent

Here are few words of good advice
from an exchange: 1.-THE inclination
of some people in conversation is to
belittle everything in connection with
the city or town of which they are a
resident, and very often they even go
so far as to sheer at their local paper
for publishing statements intended to
promote the interest of the locality
represented by them. There is a heap
of sound logic which it would be weA
for such people to take cognizance of
in the advice of rural sheet which
urges his readers never to speak any,
thing in disparagement of their town
or any of its citizens who are engaged
in promoting its prosperity. The way
to advance the interest of your city is
to do all you can to aid your laborers,
mechanics, merchants, doctors. and
ministers. Help to build your church.
es and schools. Aid every enter
prise of merit, encourage every move
ment that will honestly bring dollar
to your town and maintain labor and
capital. Stand by your town and peo-
pie at all times and under all circum-
stances. This is the way to make
things livsly and prosperous"

AN OLD SAW.
[Celia Thaxter in Wide Awake. J

cecilia Thaxter in Wide Awake.]
A dear little maid came skipping out
In the glad new day with merry shout;
With dancing feet and with flowing hair
She sang with joy in the morning air.
''Don't sing before breakfast, you'll cry be
fore night"
What a eroak to darken the child's delight!
And tie stupid OH nurse again and again
Repeated the ancient, dull refrain.
The child paused trying to understand;
But her eyes saw the great world rainbow
spanned;
Her light little feet hardly touched the earth,
And her soul brimmed over with innocent
mirth
"Never mind-don't listen-oh, sweet little
maid!
Make sure of your morning song," said:
'And if pain must meet you, why, all the
more
Be glad of the rapture that came before"
"Oh, tears and sorrow are plenty enough,
Storms may be bitter and paths be rough,
But our tears should fail like the earths
bright showers
That help to ripen the fruits and flowers
So gladden. the day with your blissful song, 5.
Sing on while you may, dear, sweet ana
strong!
Make sure of your moment OF pure dengnt,
No matter what trials may come before

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Miss

missionary work for woman's rights. Miss
Anthony is giving to brilliant audiences glow
ing accounts of the rapid progress made by
women in this country in gaining admission
into occupations long monopolized by men.
She says that forty years ago there were but
four employments open to women-teaching,
sewing, cooking, and factory work One
women was a physician and one was
preacher There are now thousand women
practicing medicine, and, as far as she has
been able to learn, "they kill as large pro-
portion of their patients and receive as ex'
orbitant fees for SO doing as male practition-
ers do" The professor of Greek in Kansas
college is woman, and every law school in
the country is open to members OF her sex.
Women not only set typo and read proof,
but edit and publish papers.

The Crematory at Rome.
New Orleans Times Democrat

The new crematory in the Camp verano
at Rome, the fourth in the world at present
burned its first body recently. In Rome the
body, enveloped in specially made shroud
rests on an iron frame, above fire of wood
and coal, and it is believed that no other
method of cremation is so simple and at the
same time SO cheap and SO unobjectionable.
The new crematory is handsome building,
in the Egyptian style, and consists of three
chambers, two of which are above ground
In one of these latter the actual incarceration
takes place, and in the other is kept register
for the preservation of full particulars for
every corpse that is burned. Beneath these
rooms is a spacious vault, in which on shelves
are ranged ornamental urns of porcelain,
bronze and silver to contain the ashes OF the
dead.

Venice NO Longer PjcturesQHo---Tho
Era of the Aggressive and Shrie'<-
ing Steamboat Inaugurated.
Pail Mall Gazette.
Civilization is rapidly reducing Venice to
the dead level of the unpicturesque, but az
yet its influence is telling more on the class
of men who illustrate the most characteristic
bits of Venetian life than on the institutions
themselves The race of gondolers is drift
ing away, while the gondolas are improving
and becoming more select. A few years ago
French company started service of steam
launches up and down the Grand canal
Great capital was made of the occasion by
the critics who bold on to Venice as the last
nook of old romantic life in Europe. Dread
full prophecies were proudly put forth about
the shrieking Of steam whistles heard along
those silent highways where hitherto the
stiffness was only interrupted by the ''gia"
and ''preIne" and stall" of the gondoliers.
1t seemed as if the poetry of the world was in
moment to be destroyed by this brand new
company.
Nature had hitherto in some way kept the
faint of the railroad out of Venice. The ca
mails were silent, the water smooth, grit and
smoke and railroad guards and time tables
had scarcely an entrance into the city. The
trance, and soon forgot railroad life in the
comfort and poetry of his gondola. He had
left. the age of clocks and come back into the
age of sundialS.
And now all this was to be upset, and the
Grand canal was to be as vulgar as the
Thames. The outcry was not without its
good effect 1t wonderfully minimized
great and necessary evil. The Venetian au-
thorities were warned in time, and took the
warning. Very stringent regulations were
to govern the construction of the new steam
launches their whistle was to be, if not me-
lodious, at least as little aggressive to the ear
as was possible. The screw that propelled
the boat was to be constructed on new
principle, which should give the required mo-
ton, and yet at the same time stir the
surface not very perceptibly. The promise
was kept. The new boats appeared on
the canal, and the comfort was great and the
establishment not SO complete as had been
feared. The public was conveyed from one
end of the canal to the other for penny.
Venice still remained almost as silent as be-
fore, and the stiffness of the waters was not
much disturbed. The gondoliers, as class,
were nearly ruined, and the gain was reaped
| almost entirely by the visitors.
But the thin edge of the wedge was in
| serted, and the broader body soon followed.
Now the shrek of the whistle is quite equal
to the Thames level of distractingness and it
| is said that already the foundations of some
rckety Old place are beginning to give. The
new boats that succee,led the sample speci-
| mems were built cheaper with the most viru-
! lent whistles, and a power of splashing quite
| up to English models, and the poetry of
Venice, like the piles of its rIinous and
| picturesque old houses, is gradually being
| snapped away.
