New York Sun (Ind. Dem.)]
There can be no question that during the
two months he has been in Office President
Cles Gland has moved with great slowness
toward the reformation which many expected
of him. Apart from the appointment of his
Cabinet he has scarcely made any impor-
tant change, and he has done nothing so far
to demonstrate the alleged rottenness of the
republican tenure. Many of his appoint
ments have undoubtedly gone directly in the
teeth of the proposition that the executive
departments were filled with rascals, and
that the government had become a den of
thieves requiring to be cleared out. 1t must
be admitted that things remain very much as
he found them, and that the only reformation
of which we have heard has been what is
called civil service REFORM a deceitful device
invented and practced to the simple end of
keeping republicans in Office and keeping
democrats out.

A Minister'S Story.

A good story is told of an excellent
minister, who, happening one day to pass by
the open door of room where his daughters
and some young friends were assembled,
thought, from what he overheard, that they
were making too free with the character of
their neighbors, and, after their visitors
had departed, he gave his children a
lecture on the sinfulness of scandal
"But, father, what shall we talk aSout?"
"If you can't do anything else," re-
piled he, "get a pumpkin and roll
it about; that will at least be innocent di-
version" A short time after an association
of ministers met at his house, and during
the evening some discussions on points of
doctrine were earnest, and their voices were
so loud as to indicate danger of losing their
Christian temper; when his eldest daughter,
overnearing them, procured a pumpkin, and
entering the room, gave it to her father and
said, "There, father, roll it about" The
minister was obliged to explain to his
brethren, and good humor was instantly re-
stored

MONKEYS FAMILY LIFE.

INaturalst's letter.
Among other mammals the female ele-
ment Yields the scepter in family IIfe Dut IN
the realm Of apes the male is invested with
the sovereign power, not by general sun
rage, but by the right of force. The Oldest
and strongest male of a troop proclalms
himself chief and leader, after having van
pushed all his competitors. The longes6
teeth and the strongest arms decide In the
question OF supremacy. All those VINO snow
reluctance to submit are chastised till they
come to reason. To the strongest belongs
the crown; in his sharp teeth resides MS
wisdom.
The ferocious tyrant understands his duty
as leader, and performs the same with
dignity. His subordinates fatter and Ton
die him in every way. AS genuine pasha
he accepts this respect with kind OF IAN
guild acquiescence. In return he watches
carefully over his vassalS, and shows con-
tinual anxiety for their welfare and secur-

daily life The female monkey gives birth
to one young one, very seldom to TWINS.
The newborn monkey is little, ugly Great
ure, bare of hairs, with spindling limbs
and a repulsive, senile face. But the mother
is pasSionately fond of her monster, and ca
resses and nurses it with remarkable devo-
ton. She does not leave it for single mo-
ment; she presses it to her heart, rocks 1t
to nd fro, and takes the utmost care TO
keep it absolutely clean.
In the first period of life the baby is apa-
thetic and almost insensible, but begins
gradually to play with urchins of its age.
The mother is a patient observer Of the first
steps of her beloved. and watches carefully
that no harm may befall it. In. the mean
time she trains it, and the first virtue in
culcated in the mind of the youngSter is
obedience. obedience in the strictest sense of
the word. Men have ridiculed the maternal
affection of the brute, and speak of "apish
love-" In our eyes the tenderness exhibited
by the monkey may have ridiculous side,
but where is the man who could, without
deep emotion, witness the anxiety of a
mother-ap nursing her sick child? 1 must
confess that, to my eye, in such cases she is
at least the equal Of the human mother.
If the young ape dies, the spectacle is a
piteous one. The mother cannot be sepa-
rated from the dead body, refuses all food,
and frequently perishes from grief In such
crisis the ape proves certainly his congen-
iality with the human race, and in his moral
affe ctions could stand as an example to
many man

Photographing the Dead.
philadelphia Record. !

Familiarity with corpses, however, seems
to harden people, from doctors to undertake
ers; and even photographers, who make a
speciality Of photographs after death, get to
be as brutal in their treatment of the dead
as do the others. A friend of mine saw q
photographer arranging a woman to be
taken after death He was trying to make
some drapery about her hang to suit him,
but it kept slipping off; SO he took big pin
out of the end of his waistcoat and pinned
the drapery to the flesh. He did not seem
to think that he had done anything out of
the way, and when he was spoken to, said
"Why, what nonsense; she can't feel any
thing" Still should always have my impress
sion about that photographer, and doubt
if he would not do the same to a live person
if he were not afraid of the consequences.

The MarsllaI Raids a Gambling House.

About 9 O'Clock yesterday morning, from
information received, Marshal Soper, with
several assistants, made a raid on a Chinese
gambling house on Hotel street, and cap
tured eight Chinese, over $40 in money and
all the paraphernalia used on such occasions
There are certain hours when these games
take place. Officer Mehrtens had intended
visiting the place during Wednesday night,
and officer Marcos had made note in his
book to be there yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock. However, as soon as the Marshal
got wind of it he went right to work with
the above result. When the Marshal made
his appearance in the room where the game
was going on the occupants made for the
door, but they were all caught. The two
principals have not been caught as they were
away at the time. The game is called Che
Fa and is played with numbers. The Chinese
arrested were locked up.
