red Out of Office.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The South
crn spois-hunters have discovered 6
novel point in their examination of the
civil service regulations, and it is one
which they intend to emphasize to
"fire the Southern heart" against the
| civil service system. The regulations
which have been adopted by the Civil
Service Commissioners provide that
no person shall be permitted to make
application shall be permitted TO make
application for n clerical position in
the Post Office Department who is
over 80, and that no person shall be
permitted to make application for a
position in the Treasury Department
who is over 40, unless i'm either case
the applicant may chance to have been
an honorably discharged Union SOL
dicr or sailor. a strict Interpretation
of this rule. would exclude any per-
son who was in the Confederate army
from clerical position in the Post
Office Department if he was more than
IL years of age 1860, or from service
under the Treasury if he was more
than 2l years ofyears of age when the
war began. The discovery Of this fact
has created very marked excitement
among the Southern men. Mr.. E. a.
Burke, of the New. Orleans Times.
Democrat and manager of the great
Exposition, who is here, is credited
with this discovery.

These pit silos, or trenches, of course
require thorough drainage. If You
have no point where tho water will
drain off naturally then you must
thoroughly under-drain, for the pit
must be kept dry. Exclude air and
water and then you have a perfcc,
