ANNAPOLIS MD- MONDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY Is, 1886.

How IS THIS FOR HIGH?-The
Baltimore Sun tells how civil service
works in the Custom house of that
city. 1t cites the appointment Of Mr..
Robert II. Bussey of Baltimore coun-
ty, pronounced democrat, to a 81, 200
clerkship in the surveyors Office, and
says: : Mr.. Bussey was appointed in
the place of Mr. G. G. Burhman, of
Frederick county, who resigned
Mr.. Bussev passed the recent civil
service examination, and stood num-
Der three on the list. DR.. Markland
stood first, but when offered the va
cant clerkship declined, as he already
held the place Of boarding officer,
which pays more. TIE gentleman
who stood next, being in poor health,
could not take the place, and the civ
il-service commission gave it to Mr..
Bussey, who rated third. They did
not inquire into his political opinions
as they are prohibited by law to do
so. Deputy Surveyor Charles l..
Wilson, in speaking of the matter
yesterday, said: I'VE do not know
the politics of any one who applies
for 2 place, unless some one happens
to know him beforehand. We never
ask them. The place naturally fell
to Mr.. Bussey according to the civil
service rules. / don't know the poll
tics of half the people who have been
appointed lately"
If this is the way civil service will
be worked under the new Administra-
ton those who want to serve their
country, will have to hunt up their
"horn- books" and refresh their memo
ries in many branches of school day
studies, which have long since been
forgotten.

A Distressing Cnse.

A very distressing case has come
to our notice, which calls for prompt
assistance from those who are able
and willing to help the unfortunate. -
Mrs. p. G. Gendall, an aged widow
lady, residing alone on East street,
has recently had several attacks Of
paralysis, which has completely de-
stroyed her mind and rendered her
perfectly helpless, and requiring the
constant watchfulness day and night
of some of her neighbors. She has
no relatives residing here. An ap-
plication has been made to the Cir
cult Court to have her removed to
the Insane Asylum. In the mean
time her necessities are immediate
and must be provided for by the
charitable. Donations in money or
offers of services as nurses will be re-
ceived at this Office and properly ap-
piled.

Letter from JacObsyIlle.
JAooBsvILLE, Feb. 18th, Is

JACoBsvILLE, Feb. 18th, 1885.
The cold snap struck this section
on Monday last, the thermometer
which had stood up in 3O's for seve-
raj days, dropping down to zero on
the above morning, but rose again to
l4o about noon, which was the high
est point reached. 1t is decidedly
the coldest weather that has visited
this section for several years.
Cupid's arrows have not been idle
in this section the past season, and
many young hearts have fallen VIC
Tins to his drawn bow. Among
those we have to record in this letter
is that of Mr.. Calvin G.. Chestnut
and Miss Rachel Williams, eldest
daughter of Mr. James e. Williams,
sr., which took place at the residence
of the brides parents on the l1th In
stant, by the Rev. Julius Soper of
Magothy M. Il. Church. Both couple
are well and favorably known in this
section of the county and Baltimore
city. After a reception and the con-
gratulations of many friends, the hap
py couple left on a Northern tour.
On the same evening, at o'clock,
at Magothy M. e. Church, by the
Rev. Julius Soper, Mr.. Theodore
Hines and Miss Florence Linthicum,
eldest daughter of Wesley Linthicum,
Esq. Messrs. Edward Hines and
Herbert Linthicum, brothers of the
contracting parties, were the ushers.
Miss Matte Soper presided at the
organ and rendered some inspiring
music as the happy couple entered the
church. Both parties enjoy the ac-
quaintance of large circle of friends
in this section who greeted them with
smiles and good wishes on this occa-
sion.
The gale of wind on Tuesday last
carried the ice out of Magothy river,
and several vessels Immediately
sought harbor in the river, among
them the oyster police sloop "Folly,O
Capt. Geo. W. Clarke, of Annapolis,
all of which are now ice-bound. An
unknown schooner is aground on
Mountain bar, mouth of Magothv
river, and the sloop Jennie, +" in the
same river, has been abandoned by
her crew, having lost both anchors in
the gale of Monday. The captain
and crew walked ashore on the ice
and started for Baltimore for assist
ance. All day on Wednesday and
Thursday, crowds of deserted vessels
could be seen passing here on their
way to Baltimore. There has been
much suffering among the crews Of .
ice-bound vessels the past week or
more in the rivers bordering on this
district. ID.

Little All Sid

Written for the LEDGER by Mrs. Show.
Little All Sid
Was Chinese kid
cute little cuss, you'd declare
With eyes full of fun
And nose that begun
Right up at the roots of bis hair.
Jolly and fat
Was this frolicsome brat,
AS he played through the long summer day
And braided his cue
As his father used to
In Chinaland far, far away.
Once o'er lawn
That All Sid played upon,
A humble bee flew in the spring,
"Melican butterfly"
Said he, winking his eye,
"Me catchee and pull off um wing
Then with his cap
He struck it rap
This innocent humble bee
And put its remains
In the seat of his jeans,
For pocket there had the Chinee.
Down on the green
Sat the little sardine,
In a style that was strangely demure,
And said with grin
That was brimful of sin,
"Me mashee um butterfly sure"
Little All Sid
Was only kid,
Nor could you expect him to guess
What kind of bug
He was holding so snug
In the folds of his loose fitting dress.
"Ki-ya! Ki-yip ye!"
All Sid cried as he
Rose hurriedly from that spot,
AS he tightened his grasp,
With an agonized gasp
"Melican butterfly belly much hot!"

A Cute ssKid."
Naxv VArly Frihr,nn

Almost the sharpest person I ever
met was a tiny girl of about 5 years
old. She would treasure up phrases
and quotations she had heard other
people make use Of, and bring them
out in the oldest way.
One evening her mother had failed
to do something she had been asked
to do, and her father made use of the
quotation: "Tis folly to remember,
and tbs wisdom to forget"
Quite an hour after the child's
nurse came to take her 10 bed. She
walked round the room, said ''good
night to every one, then entered in
to an animated conversation with an
elderly man.
The nurse still stood at the door
waiting for the child, so her mamma
called her.
"Baby, DEAR
No notice.
"Baby, dear"
"Es, Mamma.
"Have you forgotten that nurse is
waiting?'
Such wicked little face was turned
round, such knowing smile played
round her lips, and lurked within her
eyes.
"'Tis folly to wemember. and tits
wisdom to fordet," she said, then
ran out of the room roaring with
laughter at her own wit.

Only few mornings later, as Ned
entered the breakfast-room. he saw
Helen with the newspaper in her
hand. She looked up, but he missed
her smiling "Good morning."
"What is the matter, Nellf' he
asked, frightened at her grave face.
For answer she reached to him the

The color faded from his cheeks as
he read. Capt. Letcher's ship had
gone down, and all on board had per-
ished.
The brother and sister looked into
each others eyes.
''Helen,' said Ned. in a low and
solemn voice, sit was God who gave

saved my life, but He has tsught me
