An Eminent Divine Says They Are Not Mere
Appcndages to Saratoga Trunks.
Prof. David Swing in the Chicago Current
The girl Of to-day, with rare exceptions, is
industrious and with breadth OF invention
and execution. The ironcal and often mean
essays on the woman OF the present picture
her as good for little except for accompany
ing a Saratoga trunk on its wanderings in
summer and for filling fashionable engage
ments in winter. Much Of thissarcasm il de-
served by the few, but when the millions Of
girls are thought of as they are ornamenting
their mothers homes in the villages and
cities, the honest heart can not but confess
that the word "girl" never meant more
than it means to-day. This being, when
found in her best estate, can go gracefully
from her silk dress and piano to plain garb
and to work among plants, or to the kitchen,
or to a mission school class. Nothing any
longer is beyond her. In the city she can
easily walk three miles. Lauguor has ceased
to be fashionable ; sleep in the daytime not
to be endured. The soul is thought to he
action, not repose.
All can contradict these words of praise
because all who think moment can find ex-
ceptions in g rls who are always just dead
with headache, or as averse as q mummy
to any kind of conversation or activity; girls
who are pleased with nothing and nobody.
These exceptions are so dsagreeabe that
they seem to mar the whole world and make
the beautiful characters invisible. In mat.
ters of this kind one can only offer opinions.
One dare not assert with confidence. At a
popular summer resort, where quite num-

Mr.. LUCIUs SWIFT and his coadjutors who
preferred charges against Postmaster Jones,
of indianapolis, are evidently persons who
do not know when they have enough. The
civil service commissioners having reported
in Mr.. Jones' favor it is now reported that
these men will appeal from their decision to
the president. They claim that unless this re-
port falls the postmasters power of removal,
with or without cause, is not restricted by
the civil service law. And it is not which
fact would have dawned upon Swift and his
friends if they had taken the precaution to
study the law for an hour or so. II they do
not want to direct such unusual attention to

LANCASTER, AUGUST Z, 1885.
Abuses In the Scientific Bureaus.

The report of the committee appointed |
to investigate the affairs of the coast and |
geodetic survey has revealed condition |
which is as surprising as it is disgraceful.
1t finds that the superintendent, Professor
Hilgard, is an apparently confirmed victim
todrink that money received has not been
accounted for, but has been divided among
favored employees as payment for extra
work in violation Of law that the accounts
has been so badly kept as TO render it i'm
possible to ascertain the exact condition of
the surveys affairs; that employees here
become favored contractors in the supply
ing cf instruments; and finally that the
service has become Observation-Disclosures
drunkenness and embezzlement being in
cluded in the specifications:
During the years when the civil service
was abused in almost every department,
bureau and division, it was claimed that
the scientific bureaus were at least free
from this decentralization. And, indeed,
their claim was fairly just one. So long
as the late Professor Joseph Henry lived,
and held his position as the head of the
Smithsonian Institution, his example was
potent in maintaining the scientific spirit
as well as in promoting honest and careful
management. At the same time the
late Carlisle p. Patterson was super
intendent of the coast survey, than
whom no man could be more con-
scientious and devoted to his work
nor more rigid in his demands for honest
and proper management. When these
men died the genius of these institutions
went out. Their successors were supposed
to be men of fair attainments and charac-
ter but experience has shown that the
scientific bureaus had lost much of their
efficiency. And now it turns out that one
OF the men is so absolutely unfit for his
place that dishonesty as well as ineiliciency
have become deeply seated in the scientific
bureaus.
This ought to convince senators and
representatives of the impracticability of
giving these ebureausindependent functions.

The government has been extremely
liberal in providing for scientific study
both by the maintenance of its various
bureaus and the publication of the results
of their labors. 1t has right to demand
in return for this the most exactine
honesty and the same economy it enforce!
in every other branch of the service. The
claim that politics have always been kept
out of these branches is not altogether
true; but it ought to he the aim of the
present administration to rigidly exclude
all partisan considerations from them as
well as to put them on a purely business
basis.

Pneumonia FearfuIIy Increasing.

"The fact that there were 49l deaths from
pneumonia in Chicago during the first two
weeks OF March need not surprise anyone"
said DR.. Bagman yesterday. "The weather has
been of IA nature to assist the progress of all
diseases of this class, and people neglect the
most ordinary precautions. At this season no.
body should expose themselves to the cold after
being overheated. As it is impossible to avoid
this in all cases, however. and the next best
thing is to use DUPFY's Pure MALT WHIsKKY

Mr.. squire's Failure as Poet.

Rollin NJ. Squire, commissioner of pub
lie works of New York City, may know
good deal about streets, buildings and
squares, but it is quite plain that he is no
great shakes in the matter of poetry. Gen.
eral Grant was scarcely dead until Mr..
Squire went up into the attic of the court
house and resurrected the oldest and most
creaky poetical machine he could find.
With this aid he proceeded to grind out
eight lines of the dreariest stuff imagina-
BILE.
If he had kept this unique production in
the recesses of his most remote coat pocket
the public would never have known how
much of fool Mr. Squire could be on occa-
sion. Perhaps, on the other hand, he would
| never have been known as poet. But the
commissioner proceeded at once to post
| this effusion in big letters on the tower of
| the New York court house. Not satisfied
with having it seen during the day, he
made it into transparency so that every
passerby must read it at night. The news
| papers of New York have shown an ability
to stand almost anything--even to DIR.
Newman's sermon-but they rebeled and
promptly drew the line at Mr.. Squire S
poetry.
Thisnaturally directed the mayors atten.
tion to the matter, and after reasonable
time Mr.. Squire received orders to remove
his poem from the tower. The commits.
sioner protested but complied, and the
blank thus created was draped with sombrt
| black. 1t is now clear that whateyer elss
Mr.. Squire may do after his retirement
from office his chances for the laureateship
which SO many people want created, ar,
less than nothing. But Mayor Grace de
serves the warmest thanks of an afflicted
country. What blessing it would hav,
been if all the alleged Grant poets coult
have been brought within his jurisdic tion!
