ssREFORM,, AT NORFOLK.

While there has been some excitement and fuss over the performances of the new ad- ministration in various pla ces reform has, it appears, been proceeding quietly, though eff fectively, at the Norfolk navy yard. M- James D. Brady of Petersburg, Virginia, has prepared and had published a list of the Re- publicans, many of them having been Union soldiers or having rendered peculiar and val uable service to the government during the war, who have been removed from the places they held in the yard, where some of them had SCI ved acceptably for lorlg term. With in the last three months sixty-two of these faithful and experienced officials have been dismissed and in several instances the per- sonsappointed in their places are men who served in the Confederate army.
 This is a fine showing. Even Senator Ma hone, as MT. Brady points out, has not made any such exhibition of himseHt as these new reformers have of themselves During Gen eral Mahones entire term senator not one presidential federal oficehold.er has been re- moved. In 1883, when the Internal revenue districts of the county were consolidated as desired by the folmal action of the Demo cratic House of Representa- yes, second ses- sion, Forty-seventh Congress, the number of districts in Virginia was reduced from five to three, and two of the three collectors retain ed were ex-Union soldiers Every other presidential oficeholder in Virginia served his full term out, and, with but three ex- captions, all the old inccmbeats of this class were reappointed. The deputies, clerks and letter c al riers in the postofices; the deputies, inspectors, clerks, watchmen and messengers in the custom house; the deputies, clerks, gaugers, storekeepers, in speetors and messengers in the internal rev. enue servico-all over the State-were not disturbed. Exactly six appointments were made in the navy yard upon Senator Ma hone's recommendation, and three of these were to fill vacancies caused by resignation or removal for reasons of an official charac- ter presented by the naval officer in charge of the department. With these few excep- tions all the foremen, clerks, writers and other civil employee of the yard held their positions upon the recommendations of naval officers or prominent citizens, and they were in office years before General Mahones elec- tion to the senate.
 If all this is true, and if it is not the truth can De easily made apparent, Malone is not what many think he is, and the new administration is just what many think it is "a reformer that does not consistently re- form.

 There are, it appears, some things which we do not do better than our forefathers. Thus correspondent writes to the London Papermakers' Circular recently saw some paper which had been printed on as long ago as 1453 and was surprised with it's excellent quality. imagined that papers were made at the present day in every way superior to those made so long ago; but after particular in- spection of the leaves of these books I have been good deal staggered in my opinion. l found the paper made about four hundred years ago in the most perfect condition, strong, flexible, of pearly white color, and on looking through it is seen water mark, beautiful for it's clearness and delicacy. The paper is as white as can be desired and has, as already stated, pearly surface such as is not seen now. The question is, will mod ern handmade paper stand the test of an age of four hundred years with equal results? I think not. There always is used more or less chloride of lime for bleaching the fibre to white colsr. It has been proved. that the influence &sSercised by this agent exists after the pulp is made into paper, however thoroughly it may be supposed to have been washed out. The action of this chemical is to make the paper get hard and brittle with age.
 How the divorce business is worked in the West is illustrated by case which came to light at Edwardsville Qllinois) the other day. A young man and woman registered at the hotel as "G. M. Parker' and ''Mrs Mary Lippincott" Then the man took divorce summons against Mrs. Mary Lippincott to the sheriff, with letter from lawyer over the river in Missouri asking the sheriff to serve it. The young man explained that he a friend of the family and had come over merely as an accommodation, it being "a bad easel that the family wanted kept as quiet as possible. The sheriff saw the woman, who said she was Mrs. Mary Lippin- colt, and the paper was duly served. The unusual movements of the party attracted the attention of the reporters, the couple were interviewed and then made great haste Io Seb away. 11 was noI ulIII 'hey eoeceeu- ed in this effort that the sheriff began to mistrust he had been duped. His return properly made out was in the mans pocket, and so he notified the clerk of the court where the case was returnable of the circum- stances and started an investigation. It turned out that the man who came to Ed wardsville was Lippincott, the husband seeking the divorce, that the woman was an impostor, and that the wife was in Chicago, where she expects to start divorce proceed ings on her own account, and to secure ali mony from her husbands property.

 A correspondent asks if the Board of Health intends to close all places of business that are disagreeable to those who live near them We do not know. The Board of Health has done some queer things and may do more. If it exceeds it's jurisdiction some other Board must be put upon it's track. Chinese business men know how to adver- tise. This is the way an ink manufacturer in Canton does it: At the shop Tae shing (prosperous in the extreme), very good ink; fnel fine! Ancient shop, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and self made this ink; fine and hard, very hard; picked with care, selected with attention. This ink is heavy; so is gold. The eye of the dragon glitters and dszzles; so does this ink. No one makes like it. On the first of this month some important changes were made in the postal system of the United Kingdom well as in that of this country. Letters dropped into any postoffice or letter box in London before o'clock p. m., directed to any part of the metropolitan district, are now sent the same evening to their place of destination. This involves, no doubt, the employment of ad- ditional letter carriers, but the convenience of such late service must be sufficiently great to make the utilization of it large enough to warrant this additional expense.
 The cleaning of the pipes by which petro- leum is transported from the oil regions to the seaboard is an interesting process. It is done by means of stem 211s feet long, hay ing at it's front end a diaphragm made of wings which can fold on each other and thus enable it to pass an obstruction which it can not remove. This machine carries set of steel scrapers somewhat like those used for cleaning boilers. It is put into the pipes and propelled by the pressure transmitted from one station to another. Relays of men follow the scraper by the noise it makes in it's progress, ona party taking up the pursuit as the other is exhausted. They must not let it get out of their hearing, for if it stops unnoticed its location can only be establish ed by cutting the pipe.
 writer for the Brooklyn Magazine has taken the trouble to look up the facts upon which was based the charge that ex-Presi- dent Hayes had an interest in liquor saloon in Omaha. The only basis for the story is this: MT. Hayes, in company with his fellow townsman, General R. P. Buckland, in 1866 purchased five vacant lots in Omaha. They were left in the hands of a prominent real estate dealer for sale or rental. The lessees erected their own buildings and the land owners at Fremont, Ohio, had no knowledge of the business conducted therein and re- ceived no rent from the buildings. Last May General Buckland, who was authorized to act for MT. Hayes, sold one of the lots for

Rumor has it that Mr.. Thos. Drake is now
in Jail in Crawford county, charged with put
ting fire to his own store house in Usage, Mo.
or rather employing other parties to burn
the house for gain. Mr.. Drake was formerly
a resident of this vicinity and as far as known
was an honest man, having the respect of all
who knew him. OF the crime charged against
him we know nothing, but we do most sim
cerely hope that if innocent, Mr.. d. will be
able to prove the fact.
We attended the funeral of Mr.. Samuel
Luthy, who recently died, near Edge Hill.
The burial was attended by number of
friends, his son,J. S. Luthy and wife, and his
daughter Mary and husband. He leaves three
children to mourn his absence.
Death cannot make our souls afraid,
If God be with us there;
We may walk through its darkest shade,
And never yield to fear.
Heaven has confirmed the dread decree
That Adams race must die:
One general ruin sweeps them down,
And low in dust they lie.
Ye living men the tomb survey,
Where you must shortly dwell;
Hank how the awful summons sounds,
In every funeral knell!
Christianity educates our humanity, not
deadens it; and when we are in tears, it en-
ables us to see through them nearly into
heaven.
