Willing to Shovel.

Her family were well-to-do; she had
never known want; she was young,
pretty, sensitive, and full of life; she
was woman of genuine native refine
ment, who shrank not only from what
was rude and vulgar, but from any con-
tact with the great rushing world. Pro-
tected in the quietude Of home, with
congenial associations and opportuni
ties, she would have grown up spir-
tied, brilliant, accomplished woman.
The pressure of necessity came upon
her, and she was compelled to earn her
own living. The story of her patience
and endurance need not be repeated
here; it is told in a sentence: she was
willing to shovel. She took what she
could get, although it was martyrdom;
one might have seen her night after
night in the horse-cars, with that great
bundle of garments which were to make
her days long with toll and weary with
the unbroken strain on nerve and
muscle. She made her fight bravely at
the beginning, and in her willingness to
take the first opportunity, and in the
zeal and skill with which she filled it,
she won the victory over adversely and
misfortune. 1t was long road, and a
lonely one; it meant coarse and vulgar
surroundings, bare and cherries rooms,
heavy and exhausting toll, one meal a
day for days at time, suppression of
lOngings and aspirations. The cup was
mixed with a bitterness which only
those know who have draned it in soli-
tude and, at times, in despair. She
faced her misfortunes, and they were
turned into everlasting possessions to
her; she looked deeply into human life,
and her sympathies grew broad and
tender in the companionship of suffer
ing; she learned the needs of men, and
she gained that divine power of helpful
ness which is the most precious gift
ever sent to earth from heaven. Slowly,
but surely, she cleared the obstacles
from her path, and pushed on from one
work to another, always exchanging a
lower for higher kind of work, until
she has come to place of responsibility
and influence. She has made multi
tude of friends, whose respect and
affection are hers; and the deep and
abiding experiences which live in her
memory qualify her to write with pen
that has alwys heart behind it. Gen
nine success, intellectual place and
work, large acquaintance with men and
women, a broad, generous and expand
ing life, are hers, because she was will
ing to take the first obscure and difficult
steps.-ChriStidn Union.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard Of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities OF extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAED's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

STEERING AROUND THE CIVIL SERVICE
law

Since the democrats cannot break
the letter of the civil service law it
comes from the White house that the
spirit of it may be broken and tram
pied under the feet. A number of
gentlemen who have applied for tenure
offices, the terms of which do not ex-
pire for some time, have been told that
if they can get the occupants to resign,
or can put them out through charges,
the appointments will be made. 1t
comes likewise from the White house
that the postofices not flle'l by the
president, and therefore having no
terms, may be filled just as fast as good
men can be found for them.

A good story comes t. the surface
here about the democratic features of
reform. Secretary Lamar will be re-
mem bered as the first man to inaus-
crate ga reform" by the sale Of carriages
used by the department, 1t is now
learned that he at the same time es-
tablished Il suite of luxurious apart
mems in his department quarters
that quite offsets the savings which
he proposed to make by the sale of
horses and carriages. Adjoining his
office there is room formerly occupied
by the copyist and other clerks. He
has had these crowded into other
rooms, and has, it is said, had the
rooms handsomely and luxuriously fit
ted up. PArisian carpets have been
laid and tha oostiest rugs, divans and
ottomans purchased, all Of course at
the governments expense. This is a
sample of democratic reform.

-B,udstrset's says of the re-appoint-
ment of Pearson: The President has
'reappoinbed Mr. PArson Postmaster of
New York This act of the President
is significant for two reasons. 1t takes
out of politics what the spoilsmen are
accustomed to regard as one of the
'plums" of executive patronage. 1t
represents the application of civil ser
vice reform principles in their true
spirit It is of course we'll understood
that the enforcement of the civil ser
vice laws it stands to-day did not
require this action on the part of
President Cleveland. Not only that
but the step was deliberately taken in
the face of charges preferred against
Mr.. Pearson by men of his own party,
and upon which the late Attorney
General recommended his dismissal
If Mr.. Cleveland wanted pretext for
the doing of an act which under the
laws he had a perfect right to do, he
had one at hand, bat instead, after a
thorough examination of the charges,
he expresses his sense of their ground
lessness and his estimate of the value
of Mr. Pearson's services by reappoint-
ing him. Mr. Cleveland and his ad-
visers doubtless understand very well
that though corruption has aourished
in the Post Office Department the seat
Of its activity has been not at New
York but at point much nearer the
capitol.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Correspondent.}

Washington. April 3rd, 1885.
Surprising appointments by president
Cleveland, confrmations of the same by
the senate, designations, dismissals, CIV
il service projection, retrenchment, re-
form, and the appointed postmaster of
New York city are among the things
that are happening and beng talked
about in Washington now.
The week has been great one for
the cavalier. They have gathered in
the spells of last November's victory IN
foreign missions, and various other
good things. Virginia, North Carolina
and Georgia have been among the last
recipients of patronage. The confed-
crate brigadfers are meeting with rich
favor at the hands of President Cleve-
land. They are necessarily of his party
and since he owes so much to them, it
is reasonable that he should wish to re-
member them. Still there is sach a
thing as ovsrdolng the work of putting
them into possession of the leading Off
ees of the government they fought so
hard to destroy. Mr. Cleveland owes
to other interests and other
and it would be well for him
to leave few of his confederate friends
at home.

patriots happy by any means. They
admit that the appointees are all good
democrats, but the tendency is away
from the workers" and this fills them
with grief for the present, and appre-
hension for the future. Moreover the
new men often need introductions to
che faithful themselves as well as to the
public. They forgot that there are so
many offices that eligible democrats
would not half go round.
To say that the democrats are much
dissatisfied with their presidents meth
cd of making selections for office is to
express the prevalent feeling very mild
ly. At first they confined their chsglin
to their own political family circle, and
whispered their fears and disappoint-
ments only to those of their own faith,
expressing the hope that Mr.. Cleveland
would yet see the error of his way and
take advise of the men who elecvsd him.
But at the denomination Of postmaster
Pearson their indignation broke all
bounds of discretion. Words of con-
demnation we're heard on every hand
among them and threats of refusal to
assist in his confirmation. Senator
Beck declared his intention to fight the
nomination to the bitter end, and con-
gressmanSprigggs of New York, thought

Among the executive departments
the treasury is still taking the lead in

easiness among the employees. It was
like TIE explosion of bombshell
among them when one day during the
week seven leading officers were asked
to resign, and hundred clerks were
discharged from one branch of the treas
ury service. The prevailing idea is
that large number of clerks are to be
dispensed with soon on the subterfuge
OF economy, and their places filled in
short time with democrats. By this
process the depa; ,ment will in time be

Immigration continues to pour into
this state, says the Telegram, at rate
that is extremely gratifying, taking
the substantial character of the new
comers into consideration. Those of
these who are home-hunters, as most
of them are, bring with them ways of
eastern thrift, that will enable them to
succeed, where western prodigality has
failed, in masking iarmiug pay in the
Willamette valley. The old donation
land claims, wherever they are found,
consist in the main of wild and unoc-
'cupied area, with amoss grown orchard
and few titled acres on one corner.
These, when subdivided and worked by
intelligent labor cannot fail to make
fertile lands and become the seat of
pleasant and prosperous homes. If no
farm in all the Willamette valley con-
taind more than from l60 to 800 acres
and these were carefully managed and,
so far as cultivated, thoroughly culti-
waited, the thriftles farming of the state
would speedily become thing of the
past. Farms of a greater size than this
precludes neighborhood sociability and
advantage, the successful establishment
of schools and community interests,
without which farm life,s however
prosperous, from a standpoint of plen-
ty, becomes a dreary isolation from
