REPUBLICAN GLOOM,

The Appointment of the New Secretary of
the Treasury Not Hailed With Satisfac-
ton by the Clerks In His Department..
There is reason to believe that the APP
pointment of Mr.. Daniel Manning as
Secretary of the Treasury is not hailed
with satisfaction by those who enter
tain sublimated views ON Civil-Service
reform. He is represented to be man
of extremely practical ideas, from whom
any nonsense in the management of a
department, such as would suit the no.
tons of the civil-service extremists, is
not to be expected.
The employees in the Treasury Depart
ment We're beginning to feel easy about
retaining their pos tions when the rumor
of the appointment of Mr.. Manning
cast a gloom over their prospects.
Those who but recently were quite
hopeful of being retained are despond-
ent since it has become certain that the
department is headed by man who
will not allow new theories to delude
him in regard to the kind of reform
needed in the Treasury.
Being a thorough business man who
understands that she Treasury Depart.
ment is one that above all others is re-
quired to be conducted on business
principles and with honest methods, he
will stand no foolishneSs in the selection
of his assistants. Those will be selected,
regardless of new civil service theories
as in his opinion will be in respect to
honesty and efficiency the most suitable
for the departmental business. He will
make short work of the incompetency,
favoritism. dishonesty and sinecurism
which have been accommodating in the
department for years.
The civil-service reform that would
stand in the way of the removal Of such
rubbish will get no recognition from a
practical and earnest man like Mr..
Manning, who can see no other way of
managing public affairs than on bust
ness principles and, who, rs business
man, having a regard for the success Of
his administration can find no use for
such employees as have been favored
with places in the department. This is
pretty we'll known in Washington, and
has occasioned dismay in the Treasury
Building. -Harrtsbury (Pa.) Patriot.

FUNNY WAYS.
How Japanese Babies Are Cared for-The
"Prayer Bag"

prayer Bag"
When Kline, the little Japanese baby,
was one hundred days old she was car
ried TO the temple, just as some Ameri-
can parents take their little children to
the church to have them christened,
though Kine's parents do not know or
worship the true God. The priest
wrote prayer on piece of paper and
put it into the prayer-bag, which was
small and made of red Grape, embroid-
ere in white flowers and drawn to-
gether by silk cords. This bag con-
tanning the prayer was the GUARD from
evil" and it is devoutly believed by all
Japanese to have the power of keeping
children from evil spirits, from delus;on
by foxes--for the people think that fox
es can cheat or enchapt people-and
from all dangers. This little red bag
was attached to the girdle behind.
After bestowing gift in money upon
the priest, the parents and relatives re-
turned home with the little girl and
held great feast in her honor. Kline
was carefully nursed, and carried on
the back of faithful servant who fast
ened her there by long string or
bandage drawn around the waist and
legs of the child, and crossed over the
neck and shoulders of the maid. Her
little head and bright eyes would bob
on every side as her nurse walked or
ran, and here she would go soundly
asleep, or play as any baby would. She
was never carried in any persons arms.
Japanese babies seldom are. When
Kine's aunts or cousins wished to coax
her away from her nurse or mother,
they would hold their backs invit.ngly,
and she would put out her little arms
and go to one or another as she chose.
Clasping tightly the neck of the favored
one, and held there by the feet or legs.
she would be as happy as if cuddled up
in the arms. As the baby grew and be-
gan to walk, little sandals made of
straw were put on her feet. These
were fastened on by putting the great
toe through loop. When She was a
year old her hair, which had been
shaved. was allowed to grow little,
and then tied on the top in very fun
ny fashion. Every year it was worn
ditferently.--M. c. Grses,sm 81 Nicholas.

1T OUGHT TO BE SATISFIED.

An Expressive Legend that Might b.
Inscribed on tho Tombstone of tho Re
publican Party.
The Tribune is entirely truthful in its
solemn and no doubt satisfactory
declaration that ''the Republican party
goes out of power with consciousness
that it has not neglected its oppor-
tunities." No, indeed. When the we'll
known Cal Thomas, of Cincinnati,
was in supposed ertremis, recalling the
good things he had long enjoyed as a
gastronomist and expert in other
pleasures pertaining to the qualification
of his appetites generally, he desired
that his tombstone should bear but this
simple yet most expressive legend: ''He
Had His Share
There is scarcely prominent politi-
clan in the Going-Out Party who can
not triumphantly paste this exultant
motto in the front of his hat to-day,
leaving the same mortuary memoran-
dunn for his enriched heirs to inscribe
on his tombstone. From the begin
ming the Republican party has been a
party of plumber. Its record is written
in the bank-books of the Cresus con-
tractors who were benefited by the
war, and for whose enrichment the war
was purposeiy and needlessly pro-
longed, when, as the late Henry Wilson
said in the Senate, it became the ''busi-
ness" of the Nation. 1t is further in
scribed in the ledgers of the millionaire
monopolists enriched by special legisla-
ton. 1t is seen in the Accommodations of
such statesmen as Sherman, who went
to Washington comparatively poor, and
out of small salaries, which scarcely
would cover their living expenses, have
managed to save millions. 1t is princi-
pal part OF the record of Butler, who,
after eleven months residence in New
Orleans, came back from the Crescent
City millionaire. He, too, with the
rest, had his share.
1t is scarcely necessary to enumerate
the army of Freedman's Bureau,
Whiskey Ring. Robson, Sanborn,
Indian Bureau, Belknap, Star-Route,
Howgate, Burnside and Swain swind-
lers, since these were all protested
thieves and plunderers, deliberately and
designedly robbing the Treasury and
the people to whom the Treasury be-
longs. Each one of these rascals ''has
had his SHARE" and with his plumber a
share of the infamy thereto attaching.
The Tribune is quite right in assert
ing that the Republican party ''has not
neglected its opportunities. But the
most comforting part of the Iribuae's
statement is the simple but equal truth
full remark which begins its sentence
and which recorded on its tombstone:
1.-The Republican party goes out OF
power" 1t does. And it will be some
time, we trust before the power and
the never-neglected opportunities"

READING FOB THE YOUNG.
THE SEASONS.

There are four seasons in the year.
As all my children know,
And l will mention them 70 you,
In order as they go.
First, noisy March comes clustering in,
The SHOWS begin to melt;
The farmer digs the loosening soil
And gentle Spring is felt.
The birds from distant homes return,
Their dwellings, to prepare;
And joyous notes from little throatS,
With music fill the air.
April and May come on apace,
With gently falling showers;
And cheer and coax old mother Earth
To bloom with sweetest flowers.
Then June, fair Queen. in green arrayed.
The beautiful new conner
All garlanded with roses sweet
Announces it is Summer
July and August hurry on.
The cherries ripen fast;
The robins-and my children, too
Enjoy them while they last.
September with her wealth appears:
The golden grain and corn
In waving splendor now is seen
The landscape to adorn.
October and November now
With fruit and purple grape,
And brilliant leaf and foliage
The autumn decorate.
December last of all the year,
A Merry Christmas brings;
And Winter over all the earth
Her snowy mantle filings.
And while the .'Happy New Years" bells
ReSOund from snowy Steeple,
May noble Inns and thoughts inspire
Ny children and young people.

The Wind Did It.

Many years ago we were watching
the effects of hurricane from a fourth
floor window in the Rue ST. Honore,
Paris, when we were startled by seeing
dish of baked meat and potatoes blown
from a neighboring window-sill, where
it had been put out to cool. 1t turned
over as neatly as though it had been
caught up by the cook and emptied bv
her into some unseen receptacle. ONLY
the illusion was instantly DESTROYED by
seeing the dish itself disappear below.
Two unlucky soldiers came in for the
largest portion of the gravy and pota-
toes. How they would have appreciated
it given to them in the dish, Instead of
without it! As it was, they were in a
fearful state, both of mind and BODY.
The gravy trickled down the back of
the neck of one of the victims. and
Jumps of potato and fat adorned the
shoulders and epaulettes of both. At
their feet lay the remains of the broken
dish; the joint was reposing in the gut
ter. With no very amiable countenances
they looked above, and saw the last
remnants of the fat gravy in which the
meat had stood dripping SLOWLY from
the window-sill. And into the house
they rushed, followed by two sergents-
de-vllle; two minutes later lively scene
OF gesticulations, accompanied with
threats and representations, was going
on at tina window in question, while the
people below We're comparing that with
what they saw on the pavement. and
the dogs and cats of the neighborhood
were discussing the joint in the gut
ter which still gave out tempting
odor of baked meat.-Londom StnndorG
