THE RENOMINATIoN OF Governo
Murray is understood to mean more
than the keeping Of the Kentucky
beauty in Office until there is a
change in the administration; the
further meaning Of this nomination
is that Chief Justice Hunter must
go, There has been var to the
knife between His Excellency and
His Honor fer years past, and those
familiar with the fight have all
along accepted it as conclusive that
if either were reappointed the other
would not be. Murray hiss come
out of the contest the victor, and as
there cannot be two victors in a
single handed combat, Hunter must
be the vanquished. The term of
the Chief Justice expired a year ago.
hence the gentleman cannot COM
plain loudly at being required 70
rdoWn and out now.

AN EAR FOR MUSIC.
What a Spider Was Observed to az
Under the Noise Of the Tun-
ingfOrk.

A great many years ago 'r'Sonsl
Of state, who was allowed to caeeI
the solitude of his dungeon by play
ing on his flute, discovered aftel
awhile that every time he, played s
| great number Of spiders gathered
about him. Since then the liking
| ofspiders for music has been proved
[ myself had often wished to play
for spider audience, bat was moi
well enough acquainted with any
musical instrument to coax a tune
out of it.
A scientific gentlv mau Of Europe
gave me valuable hint by an ex
pertinent Of his own. He used E
tuning 'ork. Now l can play tun
lngfoIk as well "a anybody. [ pre-
cured tuningfork. and then sought
out spider. [ found handsome
grand new web, and though | did
not see Mistress Epeira, [ knew sbt
must be at home. Epeira diadema
is her full nalae, though most per
sons call her a garden SPIDER. 1t is
she who makes those beautiful,
wEeel-like webs which festoon the
rose bushes and trees.
AS [ have said, Nine. Spider was
not visible. l knew, however, she
must be in her gossamer parlor,
which is attached to her web.
Here was chance to try tuning
fork music. raped the fork on a
stone and in q moment soft, melo,
dious hum, filed the air. l touched
one Of the spokes of the web with
the fork. On the instant, madame
flew out OF her psrlor in great b aste.
hesitated a moment at the outer
edge Of the web, and then instead
Of going straight to the tun,pg>fork
ran to the very centre OF the web.
When there, she quickly caught
hold of each of the spokes one after
the other, and gave it q little tug,
as boy does his fishing line to see
if a fish is hooked. Each was
passed by until she came to the
spoke upon which the humming>
fork rested. There she stopped.
and it was easy to see she was ex-
cited. She gave the whole web q
shake; then tugged at the spoke
again. "Hum m.m-m' still sang
the fork, rather family, now, how
ever.
Madame was satisfied. Her mind
was made up. Down she darted
and caught the end of the fork in
her arms. She tried to bite into the
hard metal, and at the same time
she spun q web of silk around the
two prongs, which by this time had
ceased vibrating.

BAD SYSTEM.

4 Two men have declined the Ctlice
of Solicitor of the Treasury, an I'M
porta1t position with a salary OF
$500 a year. It is u 6erstood that
the office has also been rendered t.
others, and that the President is
actually troubled to find suitable
person who will accept. IL is seems
strange in this office-seeking age,
Wnen the ambition, seemingly, OF
nine men in ten, is to get q place
under government. In the present
instance there is a reason for the
hesitancy. Something more than
party politics is required in the
Solicitor, and the selection has been
made with the view to the mans
qualifications for the performance
of the duties. The probabilities are
that any man who has been sp-
preached would gladly accept the
position if he had the assurance
that he would not be disturbed by
the new administration, but be
permitted to continue in office 80
long ss he remained honest and cap
able. Kno wing that politics must
control in the matter, and that the
next administration would make
change the able and honest man
does not want the position for the
few remaining months OF President
Arthur's term.
The country will never have the
best civil service possible while
politics rather than fitness governs.
The service will never be what it
should be 30 long as changes are
made every four years or Oftener, if
1t should suit the whims or con-
Venience of the appointing power.
When the clerk or Official under
stands that his term of Office de-
bends solely upon his good behavior,
hat he will not be replaced by Ar
hur when Garfield dies, we will
ind a better class OF men in the
Offices of the govern
nent, and a much better and purer
ivil service. 1t is perhaps vain to
ook for such a time, but We can
wish the change were made, and
an hops that In the future men will
hink more of the good of the coun@
~ than the success of party.
