Readiness.

New York Observer
What care /, why should care,
When my call comes, or where?
Be 1t at morn or noon
Or eventide,
Or in the watches of the night,
When glows the pale moon,
Cloud curtains held aside.
Whether it find me here
Or Otherwhere,
Ligbt-hearted or full of care,
No matter where or how or when
The message shall appear.
All that | ask
Is that it may find me then,
Whether at my appointed task
Or serving as they who only stand and
wait,
Early and late,
Ready and willing, joyfully
to go. Even so,
Lord, let it be! -TWM. Ii. WALL.

THIS Is the season for chills and fevers
and bilious fevers, now called malaria, and
wise people take precautions against the
danger. The most effective Of these are
warm undertaking, sitting and sleeping
under shelter at night, and eating before
going out in the morning, all Of which are
easily available. What malaria is, no body
knows, no matter how many may care, and
10 many cases n 10 precautions seem sure pre-.
ventives; but experience proves that those
mentioned are the best that can be used.
The cause Of malaria is said to be decaying
vegetable matter on low and marshy grounds
and along fresh water river banks; but that
such is not the case is proved by the fact
that it prevails on sand islands in the sea,
on which there is not a sprig of vegetation,
and which are out Of sight of any other

TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER %.

WHILE IT is not strange that hundreds
of removals are now being made at the Gov
eminent printing office at Washington for
the purpose Of bringing the expenses of that
office within the limit of the appropriation
for it's support, it is especially remarkable
that though the present governmental adj
minstration is democratic, and though
the superintendent of public printing is d
democrat, the removals referred to are made
from lists prepared by the republican fore
men Of the office, who have SO crowded it
with republican partisans that the reduction
of the force now in progress was necessary.
Competent and efficient democrats appoint.
ed under the present administration, have
been removed, while offensive republican
partisans, neither as competent nor as eff

DURING EVERY session of Congress many
days urgently required for the transaction
of national business are consumed in debates
on bills to reduce the price of gas, to i'm
prove the streets, to change the working
hours of street car employees, to reduce the
drnmmers' tax, to abolish lottery offices,
and, in fact, to provide for all the municipal
affairs of the city of Washington, big and
little. Why this should be 80, especially as
q board of commissioners, each member OF
which draws large salary, ia maintained
for the express purpose Of attending to the
affairs Of that city, is what no body but q
modern congressman can tell. Under the
existing rule of Congress, that body is the
common council Of the city of Washington,
and provides for the local business of that
city, to the necessary exclusion of that of all
the rest Of the country.

William Beach to row race on the Thames
for any sum up to $4,000, and has offered
to row in America or Australia, Hanlan to
give Beach $4,000 in the former case, and
Beach to give Haulan $4,000 in the latter.
Beach has declined all the challenges. On

hands. Beach said he would not row in
America if Hanlan offered him the whole of
America to do 80. He said no would row
on the Paramatta river, and would lay Han
Ian $1,000 against $500. but that he would
not pay Hanlan's travelling expenses. The
