since he went away in December
there had been popular revolution
in the house that the people had
successfully inaugurated through
c,vil-scryicc reform that it was just
III littIe the thoroughc-t and c;yilicst
he had ever seen; that the rules of
the service we're most rigidly and most
civily enforced, aud lhat section /, ar
tic.c |, was that the oldest man in the
house WAS boss; and section 2, same
article, Was that sass is sass, whether
it came from a tramp, Il hired girl, or
college President; that
"Take off your coat, Leonidas my
son." said cold Wormwood and then
and there made practical applica-
ton Of the rules of the civil service
with a directness that showed that his
right arm had not forgot its cunning,
and that skate strap Glove to the roof
of Leonidas' scholarly back like
leaves of the forest for number. The
applicant was declared admitted, un-
der the rules, and he goes back to
college tomorrow, a civilly-reformed
boy. He! oh, bless you, no, he does
not want to go back, but he has to-,
under the rules, and he doesn't kick.
Old Wormwood is going with him.

The Countersign.

During the campaign Of the First
regiment at Santa Rosa, says the San
Francisco Post, the pickets found con-
siderable difficulty in preventing the
men absenting themselves without
leave, q circumstance for which the
mint juleps of the town bar-rooms
and the large contingent Of pretty
Santa Rosa girls-small blame to
them-were chiefly accountable.
One particularly sultry evening,
while the sentinels were pacing their
beats with their tongues fairly hang
ing out of their mouths with heat,
and wondering whether the pirates in
the mess tent would drink every last
drop of beer before the "relief" came,
one of the guards observed a private
approaching, who was staggering
along under the combined load Of
much conviviality and an enormous
watermelon under each arm.
"Who goes there ?"
"Er-hic-er fren," responded the
truant.
"Advance, friend and give the coun-
tersign."
"Hain't got no-hic-countersign,"
amiably replied the private; "but
I'll er-hic-giye yer er-wamellin."
Pretty soon the officer of the day
came round and said to the sentinel,
who was absorbed in munching a big
piece of watermelon stuck on the end
of his bayonet:
did Perkins pass you just now e.

"Did he give the countersign ?" in
quired the lieutenant, taking bite
himself, as the man presented arms.
"Well, no, sir" said the sentinel,
confdentially; "the password was
Cholera but he sain watermelon so
l passed him and put the other half
in your tent"
"Did, ell ?" unused the officer.
"Hum watermelon, eh ? Well, |

Real Civil-Service Reform.

BY the way, you remember young
Leonidas Goodboy? Old Wormwood
Goodboy's son, nice chap; smart, and
well behaved as a rule. He went
away to college only last month and
came back hcme last week for ten
days visit. He said it was the "short
vacation" Old Wormwood had
never been to college in his life, but
he surmised that something was short
besides the vacation. SO one day,
after Lenoidas had called his mother
Dame once or twice, and addressed
his father as Governor" and "Gov.," f."
called his sister "gummy," and slap
ped his little brother, the old man
took him away into an exceeding
dark and lonesome woodshed, and
while he stood there, cutting the
buckle off skate strap in an awfully
solemn way, he told Leonidas that

other killing with intent to salt"
When she met Amy she propoundcd
the question to her, but Amy gave it
