The United States civil service com
from many of the members Of congress
concerning the meaning OF civil service
rules and procedures. The case of the Bal
timore postmaster, who verify thought it
was his duty to reject applicants for ap-
pOintmcnt to vacancies because they
were republicans and give their places
to others because they were democrats,
has been reviewed by the United States
civil service commission and healthy
opinion rendered by the commission.
The commission declare it to be a viola
tion both of the letter and spirit of the
civil service act for an appointing Off
Ger to make any inquiries into the po-

The sPOTLs men who tremble under
the effect Of Judge Terrell's logic are
trying to shelter themselves from its
consequences by crying out against his
rhetoric. Such a Oard-house will be
swept away as with the breath OF a
cyclone when the people through their
representatives pass upon the merits of
the questions mOoted in Judge Terrelrs
speeches. The solid shot of his logic is
making havoc upon the crumbling walls
OF the old democratic citadel. Examine
it closely and you will find the old Bas-
tile has only had a coat of cheap paint.
There has not been one stone changed

Those republican editors, in Ohio,
who have demanded an investigation in

with his election to the United States
senate, have done what will reflect cred

may be said Of their judgment. The
charges are made by common belief of

Payne guilty that the United States

THE PROSPERITY OF THE LAND.
A great many poor men on this shore

some have grown rich. Northampton is
considered best for Ground" or Irish po-
tatoes, and Accomack for "Sweets" and

tn rifty looking settlements, and many of
the residences are elegant abodes of COM

new and modern in style or remodeled,
and dressed with bright new paint.
One of the features of the dwellings here
is the red roof, and all Of the red roof
houses are painted white, and some CT
them have red blinds also, which makes
the ordinarily sombre looking frame house
quite gay in appearance. One of the finest
estates on the ''shore'' is that of Con-
gresham VIM. L. Scott of Pa, who has a
highly cultivated plantation of several
thousand acres at Cape Charles. There
is a fine race track upon it and extensive
stables and barns where he kept and exer-
cised last winter twenty-five blooded hor-
ses which are now mostly in the field at
various points. The ESTATE is enclosed
with suitable white plank fence and the
large fields are laid off the same way; all the
farm gates neat iron structures, the whole
estate as level as a floor and dotted over
with pretty white, red rooted farm houses
and out buildings, and managed by Mr..
G. fl. Walbridge, the ex-Mayor Of Cape

Cutting Timber in August.

Experience has shown us that the best
tam Q to cut timber for posts, rails or stakes
is in August. The bark will then come
off re. adily, and the wood becomes harder
and Ell dures longer than If cut at any other
season. Hickory never makes good post
or stake, as it rots rapidly in the ground
OR on it. and if cut when the bark adheres
will socn OF, OF likely bs cut to pieces. be-
fore it can rot, by worms. But if cut IL
August, very few. if any trees. make q
more durable rail for off the ground, The
bark drops off, and the wood becomes sc
hard that it ssjingles'' when struck; while
the worms do not attack it. Hickory
rails made from trees cut in August and
kept off the ground, will last for fifty
years.
Whlte-oak makes durable rail or post
cut at any season, but its durability IS in
creased at least fifty per cent. by cutting
in August. 'sPin-oak" is unfit for posts
or for rails either, on or OFF the ground.
when the tree has died, and is entirely un-
fit for posts, and almost unGt for rails If
cut when the sap is not flowing; bnt rails
made from a pin-oak tree. cut in August,
will last at least twenty years of the
ground. What is true of pin-oak is true
of red-elm. If cut in August it is as du-
rable as hickory or white cak, as long as
it is not set In or on the ground. White
elm is fit for frewood only, no matter at
what time it is cut, and this is true OF
wild cherry also. With but few excep
tions the gain by cutting in August is
sufficient to compensate for cutting at
that time. 1t is not necessary that thu
rails or posts be split out then. The
trees may be felled only. and the further
work be put off until cooler weather. But
it is better to split the trunks into rails OF
posts for later use as soon as felled; the
wood will then season rapidly, and the
highest point of durability is attained

doubtless due to some failure in the nutri-

change has been effected by the building
of the New York, Philadelphia and Cape

through this rich little peninsular. At

new settlers moved in, new settlements
