Twas playing a game OF billiards IN a
small village in the Blue mountains; there
was no ceiling TO the room, th3 roof being
covered, as IS the universal custom In
Jamaica, with cedar wood shingles. My
opponent was smoking a large pipe, and
suddenly, Just as I was about 10 play a
stroke, what | thought was the contents Of
my friends pipe fell on the table close to the
ball at which / was aiming. Instinctively l
was on the point Of brushing 1t off with my
hand, when, to my amazement, l saw IL was
a moving mass, which ON closer inspection
turned out to be a very large female speci-
men Of n scorpion, from which ran away In
every direction a number Of perfectly formed
little scorpions about a quarter Of an inch in
length.
The mother scorpion lay dying upon the
billiard cloth, and soon ended her feeble
struggles, the whole Of her back eaten out
by her own offspring, Of which, as they could
not escape over the raised edge of the bill
lard table, we killed the astonishing number
Of thirty-eight. They had not only been
carried by the parent, y but they had lived
on her, cleaning out her body from the she'll
OF her back, so that she looked like an in
verted cooked crab from which the edible
portions have been removed. She had chung
to her retreat in the shingled roof until near
tho approach OF death, when she had fallen
and given US this curious spectacle. l was
toll by the attendant that the young scor.
pions always live thus at the expense Of their
mothers life, and that by the time her
strength Is exhausted the horrid offspring
are ready to shift for themselves

THE English government expects that
the railroad it is about to lay between
Suakim and Berber will be n permanent
structure. 1t is to be a broad guage and
laid on wooden sleepcrs The route, al
ready surveyed, is the more northcrly of
the two routes to Berber. II passes
through Tamborik and Ariab, north of
Sinkat Along the way are eleven groups
Of wells, the longest waterless distance
being between Ariab and Obak, fifty
miles. Some Of the wells are very shall
low, and barely suffice for the use Of
caravans. Water trains to supply the
workmen will be run from Suakim until
the success of the proposed pipe line is
demonstrated. 1t is expected to employ
native laborers hired in and near Suakim
to do most Of the work, under the guild
ance Of English superintendents In n e
mountain pass there will be engineering
difficulties TO overcome of considerable
magnitude, and beyond the road will
probably turn north for some distance to
avoid a wide stretch of pure sand.

A story has just com to light here which
affords much amusement TO the natives at
the expense Of three Boston dudes, whose
connection with the opening of a Georgia
marble quarry has brought them here.
They nave had much amusement with
mountain boosters, and delighted in showing
Off their superior accomplishments Willis
on the way to Tates they met two harmless
looking country Logs, who, barefooted and
with but one ~suspender over their shoulders,
were trudging TO town. The Bostoniana
stopped In front Of them and ordered them
to dance to a Massachusetts, juba- When
the mo~untaineers became satisfied that the
Bostonians were in earnest they pulled out
two ugly looking revolvers and changed the
programme by ordering tho dudes to dance.
Thinking to humor the joke, and thus escape
easily, they danced awhile, but the boy
would not lot them halt. For Ave hours,
under cover of tho revolvers, the BostonianI
danced such n jig as has never been seen,
When the time was up one of the mountain
GERS exclaimed: Nov, dang it, rum" The
Bostonians were only too glad to do so, and
reached town ~foutsore and weary.

PARTIsANsmP is being cried down by
the Republican press Just at present, when
there is danger of a general change
among the Federal of~iceholders; but
wherever Republican bosses have the
chance to enforce their rule and profit by
the drawing Of party lines, they do 80
with a vengeance. A case at hand,
where partisanship has run mad, is the
Republican Legislature in New jersey.
After casting about for ways and means
TO ''get even with the majority of voters
in that state for casting their ballots for
a Democratic governor and a presidential
ticket of the same color, the patriots, who
shout for civil service reform when in
Washington, hit upon the plan Of passing
laws depriving Governor Albeit of all
patronage. They aver that they do this
for the reason that they fear that the
Democratic governor will fill the vacant
offices in his gift with Democrats, which
action they consider il partisan and in
violation of civil service reform principles.
The remedy proposed for this evil state OF
mind on the part Of Governor Albeit is
to hold a joint meeting OF the Legislature
ald appoint Republicans exclusively to
all vacancies. This action they do not re-
gard as partisan; but it will make the
next legislature Democratic all the same.

LIEUT.. GEN. SHERIDAN has received
several photographs from Fort Bayard, n.
NJ, representing two troops ofthe 9th cav
airy firing over the bodies Of their horses,
which lie fat on the ground. In a letter
accompanying the photographs Major A.
X. Arnold states that in each Of the four
troops, averaging thirty-five horses each,
there are about twenty-five horses that
have been thus trained. and that nearly
all OF them lie down. The men can climb
all over their bodies and fire in various po-
sitions without stirring the horses. This
is the result Of about three months work,
one horse per day, barring Sundays and
bad weather; under direction of Major
Arnold. Another desirable result of this
training is hal men who were formerly
timid to have become courageousand con-
fdent in the handling of their horses, and
horses formerly dangerous are now thor
oughly gentle. Considering that these
horses arc California bronchos. generally
aged, their thorough training is all the
more remarkable, and much better results
may be expected from young American
horses

THE great majority of the American
people believe in the reform Of the civil
service There is no doubt that serious
abuses have existed for many years in the
public service; and we believe that Presi-
uent Cleveland aud his cabinet are deter
mined to purify the government in all its
branches and to discontinue the Republi-
can evil practices which have extended
over three or four successive administra-
tons. and which have done much to de-
moralize the whole civil service. The civil
service needs reforming, without doubt,
and the best beginning would be to turn
the ''rascals" out and begin genuine re-
formation with a set Of Democratic Off
Gals.
The so-caHed civil service reform adyo-
Gated by the Republicans and Mugwumps,
is a sham and a fraud. No army evei
succeeded with enemies in its camp; nc
reform measures introduced by a Demo
cratic administration would eve receive Q
hearty support if political opponents arr
appointed TO execute them; no party car
live and thrive with its offices divided be
tween friends and foes. A man cannoI
serve two parties any more than IA servant
eau serve two masters. The Federal Off.
ces should be filed with Democrats with
out unnecessary delay. il was they who
won thcrietory in November, and it wa.
they, who perhaps are not entitled to the
spoils on that account, yet have the right
to direct, manage and control the Federal
patronage in the interests Of Homogeneous
anvcrnment

it has been Tor many years. Tho young
men are morn inclined 10 study than for

much better results. Classic literature Is

than It had fifty years ago, and students are
enabled to grasp 1t with far more advantage
than formerly. Universities are becoming
more liberal in their courses, and the young

and their advantages. 1t Is not considered
now positively necessary that n student

have a fondnoss for ancient literature ara
enabled to devote their time and minds
thereto. The German, French and English
authors are certainly attracting more alton
ton than formerly, and l think with nd-
vantage TO those who make them a study. 1t
is not many years ago, that graduates were
unable to state the order Of such writers az
Shakespeare, Pope and Byron; but this is now
changing, and scholars are becoming as con
versant with the classics OF modern Europe
as formerly they were with those Of ancient
times. therefore, think Of the progress of
collegiate education as being better than
formerly.
