Prayers in Congress.

One thing that is noticeable to careful
observer since the election is that some Of
the Republican members do not evince as
great respect for the chaplain's opening pray
er as do those on the Democratic side, writes
Washington gossiper. Some on the Repub-
lican side rise when the Speakers gavel falls,
but a good many sit with apparent indlffer-
ence Minnesota is a law-abiding, God-fear-
ing State, yet nearly or quite all its members
sit through the morning prayer without any
particular show of reverence. Ohio is sub
ject to the same criticism, its newly elected
Lieutenant Governor sitting in his seat and
looking about him as though he really Won
dered what it was all about Governor Long
of Massachusetts, usually rises, but hangs on
to his morning paper grudgingly, and only
relinquishes it after the prayer is fairly be-
gun. The Maryland delegation always pay
good attention to the prayer when they are
there early enough to hear. Reagan OF Tex
ts is one of the early birds of the House, and
is prominent figure on the Democratic >ide
while the chaplain has the floor. He always
rises, and tries to keep his busy hands quiet
a moment by holding them together behind
him, but usually begins chewing toothplck
or tearing bit of paper Cox always stands.
So does Holman. Mr.. Randall sits. Cobb
of Indiana stands, his tall figure looming up
above everything about him. General Rose
Grams does not permit his rheumatic affiie-
tions to prevent him from rising. Maginnis
sits with perfect ulconcern. Morrison usu-
ally manages to get out of his seat, if he is
in it when the prayers begin. So does the
towering Dorsheimer, whose bald head
CLEANS in lofty elevation above everything in
his vicinity This is the only moment in the
history of the House of Representatives that
there is silence, and the moment the s'Amen"
is said the buzz begins again.

PROGRESS OF GREAT REFORM.
The second annual report of the United
States Civil Service commission, which has
recently been issued, is of especial interest
at this time, when the great reform is SO
pronounced. It appears from this report
that the enforcement of the civil service act
of January Is, 1888, has been found both
practicable and effective for the accomplish
ment of its purpose, and that only the con-
tinuing support of the Executive and moder-
ate appropriations by Congress are needed
for the extension of the new system which
the civil service law and rules have sestab-
lshed. Within the year ending January 16,
1885, applicants have been examined from
every State of the Union and from every
Territory except Idaho. Of those examined
over sixty-five per cent. succeeded, and it is
worth noting that the large majority had only
public school education. No question and
no action of the commission imposed polit-
ical or religious test, and in not more than
dozen instances, and then only by chance,
did the commission become aware of the po-
litica1 or religious views affiliations of per-
sons before them.
the subjects of examination seem to be
well calculated to test the COM
potency of the candidates. The questions
to be answered by applicants for Office in the
departments at Washington require a sound
knowledge of numerals and spelling, without
being abstruse or merely theoretical. A fair
acquaintance with American history and
geography would also be necessary for cor
rect replies. The supplementary examina-
ton for law clerks is such as any practical
lawyer would be likely to make of person ap-
plying to be engaged as clerk in his Office,
while the queries in medical science would be
likely to prevent unsuitable men from OBJ
tanning positions in that important branch of
the public service. The examination for the
other departments is practical, and in candi-
dates for the patent and pension offices
technical knowledge is deemed indispensable
to the usefulness of the applicant.
This report and some recent events indi-
cate the firm hold which the reform has Sc
cured. Three years ago it would have been
difficult to make anybody acquainted with
practical politics in this country believe
that change in the Administration would
not be followed by change in the head of
the New York postoffice. But the reform
has made very rapid progress and is gaining
strength and popular approval every day.
More power to it.

R. A. Proctor in Longman's Magazlae.I
Whist-the real game of whist-derives its
interest entirely from strategy, by which
either tricks are made by cards which would
not. but for such strategy, have power to
take those tricks, or by which the plans of
the adversaries to achieve such ends are de
tected and foiled. Tricks may be made by
high cards; but there is no interest in that.
Anyone can take a trick with the ace of
trumps Tricks may be made by fnesse-
that is, by playing, instead of the best card,
a lower card which may or may not take the
trick according as the intermediate card er
cards lie to the right or left. This is better;
but the finesse pure and simple is a matter OF
mere chance, and so far as the actual gain of
a trick is concerned there is no more scientl-
fic JOY in the success of a fnesse than IN the
capture of trick by a high card. There is
science in the finesse; but the scientific IN
terest does not depend on the direct success
or failure of the finesse at the moment, but
on its bearing upon the general play OF the
hand Again, tricks may be made by trump
ing winning cards of plain suits. There Is
often good science in bringing this about
properly not by the coarse lead OF single
card OF from two-card suit, but by SO ar
ranging matters that the ruff, when made,
shall not impair, but utilize, the trump
strength which lies between you and your
partner Special pleasure is there in the
cross ruff when ingeniously secured and
properly Employed still moro pleasure in
tempting the enemy to a cross ruff, which,
while not lasting long enough to give them
more than three four tricks, just destroys
their superior trump strength. But the
great delight of whist strategy lies in the
manpuvres by which small cards are made
to conquer large ones, as when long suit is
successfully brought in, or the enemy forced
by skillful strategy to lead up to tenaee
Nor is there less pleasure in noting and foil
ing the plans of the adversary for achieving
these same ends Nay, to the true player
there ought to be pleasure even in noting the
skill by which the enemy achieves success;
but fear me this is more than most players
eff whist attain to, however earnest may be
their whist enthusiasm.

bark infected with cholera is lying at the
Salem (Massachusetts) docks is not wholly
justified by the facts. The case in point, on
investigation, lost most of its dangerous as

with all the symptoms of Asiatic cholera,
but their bodies and clothing had been sunk
in the sea and the vessel fumigated from
stem to stern Since then not man of the
other fifteen sailors has been sick. But the
owners have been ordered to fumigate the

The old project of making Paris seaport
has been revived by an engineer, M. Bouquet

between Rouen, where large vessels can sail

within easy distance of the metropolis. The
distance to be deepened is something over
ninety-three miles, The protector however,
says nothing of the dangers likely to result
from the numerous islands which stud the
Seine between Poissy and Rouen and which
would render river navigation exceedingly
dangerous for vessels of large tonnage, such
as those that pick their way SO carefully from
Havre to Rouen.
