Harvard s,uden,. Mus. Attend PRAYERS

A few weeks ago over nine hundred of the
undergraduates at Harvard petitioned the
president and fellows that attendance at
morning prayers be made voluntary for
undergraduates 2l years old or over and
optional, according to the wishes of their
parents or guardians, for undergraduates who
are under II years of age. The refusal
OF the college authorities TO grant this request
has been announced. The college paper, The
Daily Crimson, commenting ON the refusal,
says the authorities by whom Harvard il
governed are not troubled by that vice OF
small minds--consistency. While ing
the most sweeping changes i'm their frantic
haste to reach the state of an ideal univer-
sity," they do not hesitate to go to the other
extreme and retain the one relic of bygone
college discipline which, above all others,
marks the primitive stage in the evolution of
Harvard toward the desired end.

Some New Ideas.

The new president has hit upon the
happy and original idea of finding out
whethepcertain offices around Washington
: are necessary to the public service or not
before he proceeds to fill them. He in
augurates his policy by dispensing with
four of the attaches of his own household,
where he would very naturally first dis
cover if there was a surplus and he seems
disposed to show that he will not exact of
Others policy that he will not rigidly ell
force himself. In this he differs from some
smaller men who have set themselves up as
reformers, but who exacting the most
scrupulous service from Others keep a
tight grip on all the perquisites and pat
ronage attaching to their own places.
If the new heads of the several depart
ments will go through them with axe and
rake, chopping down and dragging out the
dead wood, the rotten branches and the
choking underbush, we suspect that a pro-
portionately far greater reduction in the
civil service can be made than the presi-
dent already makes in the White House.
Asa rule the clerks around Washington
and the subordinate employees do half work
and get double wages. The departments
abound with sinecures and loafers. The
enormous increase in the force ever since
the war closed proves it and no man can
go through the offices with open eyes and
fail to see it,
Two utterly erroneous ideas seem to have
got hold of the large majority of the peo-
pie who are pressing forward for office.
One of these is that public positions exist
only for the reward of party workers. Such
concelt is as demoralizing to party
Organization as it is prejudicial to healthy
pablo sentiment. 1t has been so assiduously
fostered by the Republican party and so
persistentiy practiced that great many
Democrats take ii as a matter of course,
and are surprised that the administration
should not first fill the offices and then in
quire into the necessity for them. Wetrust
to ses it take the other course and
lop off every superiluous place. As mere
matter of party policy twill gain ten votes
from rightlthinking people by such con-
duct. where il loses one of the disaI-
pointed place hunters.
Another radically wrong view that pre-
yais is the notion that man establishes

The Queer People who Inhais the Perh,ned

From Lucy ii. Hooper's Letter.
A very queer world is this of Nice won

sketches of ii, has not settled herself here To

made up of divers elements which would be
doubtful if they left any room for doubt

AN appeal from the decree of the court of
common pleas of Crawford county, recently
decided in the supreme court, will have much
interest for attorneys as it decides that they
may have lien for counsel fees upon a fund
which has been paid into court for distribu-
ton. The point came up for decision on the
appeals of McKilvey and Sterrit, in which
the decision of the lower court was affirmed.
The court said that 10 counsel's exertions was
due the fact that there was any fund what
ever. "To the extent of the value of these
services the fund belongs to him; that is to
say, he is the equitable owner to the amount
of his fee." There is no doubt that the
supreme court was tuning on the right key
when it gave this decision.

october I, lSSj.
For years past have used ALLCoCKs PoRoUs
PLAsTERs on my person and In my family, and
have found them perfect as an external remedy,
quick In their action, giving immediate relief
without bistering the skin, and inr superior To
all others. No family should be without ALL
COCKS PonoUs PLAsTERs their healing powers
are wonderful, and their efficacy far-reaching
and lasting. When In Washington last winter
WAS induced to try another much advertised
plaster for severe pain in my back. No relief
from the pain, but IA sore and blistered back for
IA week was the result So soon as the bisters
healed applied two OF ALLcocK's PoHous PLAs-
TERs, and they gave me immediate and penna-
nent relief. They give additional strength and
vitality to the spinal column, and they are n
never falling remedy in my family for Coughs,
Colds, Sprans, and all Pains and Weaknesses.
Their use has repeatedly saved me from Pneu-
monia. l constantly use them, and would not
be without them for any consideration.

TOO HOT FOR THE TRAMPS.
-Four Men Crying to be Rescued From Burn
Ing Building.

At an early hour Tuesday morning the
tobacco barn of w. II. Hawkins at Live Oaks,
Owen county, KY, was discovered to be on
bacco, and while efforts were being made TO
save it the rescuing party heard cries
for help issuing from the interior of
the burning structure. Tho spot where
by hogsheads of tobacco and at the time
unapproachable. The fire was partly ex-
tinguished on one side and the stock of hogs
heads thrown aside. Behind them, i'm a
small nook, were found four tramps, who
had been rendered unconscious by the smoke
They were promptly rescued and taken to
a neighboring house. One of the men was
burned about the body and head and is not
expected to survive. The others were not so
seriously injured, but are still unconscious
The barn and its contents were totally de-
stroyed. Loss about 5000 no insurance.

SOLICITOR GENERAL PHILLIPS, who
has rendered the resignation of his Office,
upon the appointment of his successor, has
been one of the most efficient officers of
the government, and could well expect to
be retained il political considerations are
put out of the way. Mr.. Phillips
seems to have had the whole burthen of the
law department upon his shoulders since
the advent of the highly ornamental and
useless Brewster, whom the supreme
court has hardly known. Mr.. Phillips has
filled his Office SO well as to make it difficult
to replace him.

his claim ~ public position and
proves his fitness for il by bringing
himself out as a candidate and dra-
gooning people into signing petitions, writ
ing letters and forwarding recommenda-
tions in his behalf and that nobody is
to be considered eligible for public sta
ton who has too much self-respect to en-
gage In this sort of business. The earlier
this false idea is dispelled the better. If
the administration will look over the heads
Of the importunate placemen and go behind
the long petitions and basketsfull of letters
which they bring it will soon discover that
many of their recommendations are OBJ
tained by offensive solicitation and are
given 10 get rid of their importantly, and
that back of them are hosts of modest men,
better qualified and more deserving, who
wait TO he called upon before they present
themselves. The politician who is always
out of job and waiting for something to
turn up is not by any means the best
adapted for the discharge of public duties.

ington we expect they will be of a CRATE

THERE was some breezy testimony devel-
oped at the trial of Z" Dr." Buchanan, in
Philadelphia, which has ended in verdict OF
guilty against the proprietor OF the notorious
bogus diploma mill in that city. Mrs. Rus
sell, his accomplice, was asked why she had
sign out with an NJ. ID. to it, when on her
own admission she had never received a
medical diploma. The curt and crushing
answer from the witness was that the Nj. D..
stood for Money Down" This was a
rather ingenious mode of chasing his Satanic
Majesty around the stump, and it will ex-
plain the meaning of many doctors signs
that were hitherto inexplicable. The jury
thought that one so ready with an answer
would be very much out of place in prison
cell, and they were quick to acquit the
versatile Russell.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND evidently be-
lieves that reform should begin at home, and
that his own house must be set in good order
before the work of reform in the federal ad-
ministration can be properly undertaken.
He has cut down the force of White House
employees one-hali, lengthening at the same
time the hours of service, 80 that while there
is gain in economy, there is no loss in eiii-
cheney. If all reports be true, there were
number of lotus-eatiug officials about the
White House who were far more ornamental
than useful. These are 10 be weeded out.
The president is conscientious enough TO be-
lieve that the same business principles that are
i'm vogue in the management Of mans
private business concerns should govern him
i'm the administration Of a public trust
He viii see to it that all government en-
ployes that come under his eye earn their
salaries. When this principle is once firmly
established in the government offices that
the faithful employe is to be preferred 10 the
'bcst worker in the ward, " the Office seekers
will not advance on Washington every -four
years like an army with banners.

Nine years ago came to Turner Co,
having in my minds eye the starting
of a fruit farm and nursery on the then
frontier, and brought roots and cut
tings of hardy fruits With d view to
testing them here. And whether here
or elsewhere during the intervening
years, every spring has seen fruits
planted out on our fruit farm to test
their worth or worthlessness.
The Horticultural Societies of the n.
w. find themselves narrowed down to
less than Il half dozen varieties of the
apple. upon which they dare risk their
reputation by giving them their appro-
val. 1t is no chance happening that
nine-tenths of our orchard of over Il
hundred acres is composed of these
same sorts, OF that Our varieties in the
nursery are duplicate of those in the
orchard, where many are now in bear
ing, and on this 10th day of March we
have apples in the cellar i'll good con-
