THE WIZARD
WITHOUT AN EQUAL.

A 7 THE Spring Meeting of the Montgom-
"A cry County Agricultural Society held
at the Fair Grounds, Rockville, on Wednes-
day, June 4th, 1884, the most noticeable and,
perhaps, the most interesting feature next 10

There were on exhibition, THE WIZARD,

Cassidy, FARQUHAR, B. d. BUF0RD 4
CO.'S, and THE FLYING DUTCHMAN. All
OF them except the last three named were put
on trial and entered the contest.
There were no regularly appointed Judges,
but general trial was given for the judg-
ment of all. A full and exhaustive and
clearly contested contest was had, and II ap-
peared that the WIZARD was decidedly the
favorite. 10 fact II canvass made among the
spectators developed the TACT that the follow

themselves freely to the effect the WIZARD
had no equal on exhibition; that the Wizard

THE SILVER LINING.

THE SILVER LINING.
There's never a day so sunny
But a little cloud appears;
There's never a life so happy
But has had its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never heart so hardened
But 1t has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
To find the ferget-me.not.
There's never cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never path so rugged
That bears not the prints of feet;
And we have helper promised
For the trials we may meet,
There's never n sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tints that CLEAN in the morning
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never dream of sorrow
But the waking makes us glad;
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There's never way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There's always guide to point US
To the "little wicket gate;'
And the angels will be nearer
TO soul that Is desolate.
There's never u heart so naughty
But will some day bow and kneel;
There's never heart so wounded
That the Saviour cannot heal;
There's many lowly forehead
That is bearing the hidden seal.

It is true that most persons are more
impressed by what they see than by
what thew hear; 80 thst it has became q
maxim that one leee:ns more readily
through the eye than through the ear.
But nature is a compromising mother.
If the eye begets the most lasting I'M
preston, the ear imparts the most &C.
tive stimulant. Few artists who appeal
to the eye have so aroused the vital &C.
ton as those who seek the ear. An Illus
tration of the power of sound, expressed
in fitting music to fitting words, is
given by Ben Perley Poor in the Bos-
ton Budget. He says:
Jenny Limbs ballad-singing carried
her Washington audiences by storm.
Without in the slightest degree COM
promising its character of a single bal
lad, she infused into every line of 1t
more of the poetic spirit and meaning
than the words, upon the mere read
ing seemed to contain.
It was often the outpouring of the
soul of Scottish peasant lassie, yet it
was one of the most sparkling pieces of
vocalizatiOn ever listened to.
What wonderous versatility was here!
From Bellini to Burns-from the high
est reach of Italian art to the most
homely simplicity Of Scottish minstrelsy
and the same effects produced by
each!

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Annual Meeting of the National Associa-
tio,,, With an address by George Will
liam Curtis.
The fourth annual meeting of the National
Civil Service association was held at New York.
George William Curtis delivered the opening
address.
Mr.. Curtis gave a lengthy review of civil
service reform legislation in congress from the
time the subject first claimed popular attention
until the defeat at the last session, of the bill
to repeal the four-year tenure of Office act.
He then referred to the civil service law passed
by the New York legislature, and enumerated
and explained its provisions. Mr.: Curtis high
ly commended the work of the
present civil service commission,
and praised President Arthur's
course in regard to this branch Of government
al reform. The speaker then urged to COM
pletion the repeal of the four-year-law, and
reform in methods of administration which
has ever been proposed in the country, re-
form of abuses which were subjugating legit-
innate party achon, destroying the moral au-
thority of elections, demoralzing the public con-
science, degrading official character, excluding
disgracing the American name has been begun
and has thus far effectively accomplished,
not by party but by patriotism by men in Office
and out Of Office, of different political conven-
tons strongly attached to different parties,
anticipating political careers, yet cooperating
with sincerity and enthusiasm, not as Repub-
Leans, not as Democrats, but solely as Ameri-
cans; before all, proud of their country; above
all, resolved that the national name should be
unstained and national politics raised to con-
troversies of principle and policy. In all the
proceedings of our associations and of this
league, in all our appeals and arguments,
there has been no word and no thought
of party Both houses Of congress passed
the national reform bill with
practical party unanimity A democratic legis-
lature in New York, q republican legislature in
Massachusetts,, passed state reform bill, a
Republican president, Democratic governor
have been the two most conspicuous and Of
fective executive agents in enforcing the re-
form. If in the mad tunult of party passion,
in the storm of hatred, falsehood and malig-
nant injustice which a presidential election
whirle overthe LAND, some appalledcitzen should
be ready to despair of his country and to be
ashamed of his kind, let him take heart again
and be prouder than ever that he is an Ameri-
can, and anticipate with surer confidence the
glcater glory Of his country, as he reflects that
civil reform, thus far, has been the triumph of
patriotism in the midst of party conflicts and
despite the ferocity of party spirit"
A business meeting was subsequently held
at which remarks were made by representatives
of various cities setting forth the progress made
in civil service reform in each of said corpo-
rations. Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed congratulating the members upon the work
already accomplished
