Civil.Service Reform Exemplifled.

AS an antidote to the Mirror and Farm
er's "pisen," we give the following account
of how the reformed civil-service works,
from the New York Times:
Postmaster Persons modest report of
the immense volume of business passing
through the post-office for the year 1883
gives no idea of the promptness, regu-
larity and efficiency with which it was
managed. The vast number of S08,971,.
078 pieces of mail were handled, and a
money order business was transacted ex.
ceeding 100000. The asserting and
delivery by carrier and through boxes, the
distributing and forwarding by railroad
and steamboat, the registration, the sale
of stamps, the issue and payment OF
money orders, all make up business OF
vast extent and considerable intricacy
which goes on day by day with the celer-
ity, regularity and accuracy of clock.work
1t is getting to be difficult now to recall
the time when there were complaints OF
the working of the New York postoffice
Its perfection has been attained by the
faithful application of ordinary business
principles under Mr. Pierson and his i'm
mediate predecessor. 1t shows what can
be accomplished by taking great public
Office out of all connection with party
politics."

Genuine FOssillzed Politics.

Probably no other state in the North
than New Hampshire, that once stalwart
democratic, and now stalwart republican,
commonwealth, could produce the like of
the following paragraph, which we cut
from the Mirror and Farmer. To find
its match we must 60 to Mississippi, and
search the columns of the Okalona States
and Union:
"With Pendleton, the father of the
civil-service reform law of the last ses-
sion, buried out of sight, because he was
its father; with every republican senator
and every democratic member of the
house who voted for the measure in the
present congress repudiating the measure,
and going for clean sweep of the officials
in their respective bodies with Ben But.
Ter running ten thousand ahead of his
ticket on spoils platform, and Governors
Cleveland and Pattison, two of the most
mouthy champions of the humbug, uni
versally condemned and despised, because
they are its champions, and with next tc
nobody defending it, this would seem to
be very cold winter for the notion thai
the offices are to be yanked out of politics.

it has too many barren plants" Mr..
Hovey, the originator, has several times
recently declared that the Hovey straw
berry is still as vigorous, good and produc-
tive as it ever was, and it will be seen that
Mr.. Wood does not dispute this. He
merely says it was once popular, but now
fails to give general satisfaction, because
it has too many barren plants. He does
not claim that this is new characteris-
tic, and, in fact, it is not. Yet there was a
time when, no more desirable or produc
tive kind being known, the Hovey was
popular. Without any change in that va.
riety, the appearance of far more produc-
tive and equally salable kinds have rend
cred it undesirable. Besides this, the
Hovey is very tender sort, being very
easily winter-killed.

cheaper than any that we could otherwise
obtain. This has been our main reliance

spring, and narrowed in. For most crops
six or eight barrels of this mixture to the
acre will be plenty, and the effect is by
no means exhausted the first or the Sec
ond year. 1t is, in fact, more durable in
its action than stable manure. Pains

We have thought that this plain re-
hearsal of our own experience would be a
better answer to the inquiries addressed
to us than mere didactic statement of
the same facts. We may say that we now
have rich farm, almost without the use
of dung, for the little we have been able
to buy or get from our own stock would
have amounted practically to almost moth
ing towards the results which we have
actually obtained. We have now most of
the land upon which we first grew ordi.
