THE PLOT EXPOSED.

Republican Scheme to Injure His De-
partment Thwarted by Postmsstcr-Cien-
eral Villas.
The conspiracy in the railway postal
service, which has just been exposed
and punished, was about what might
have been expected. For quarter of
a century it was taught, and by many
people believed in this country, that
only one party had the requisite intelli-
gence to administer the Government
and fill the offices. Propositions to
take by the heels some of the men who
had held place for Il generation and
throw them out have been looked upon
as verging on treason. and it is not sur
prisng, all things considered, that
among the office-holding class an i'm
pudent contempt of authority should
have manifested itself. More especial
ly was this to be expected when, new
party coming into power, it proceeded
to return good for evil by continuing
the great majority of the subordinate
office-holders in their places. Had it
turned them out by the hundred
and thousand, as probably some
of them should have been
turned out, such of them as
were left would have been more inter-
ested in attending to the public bus-
ness in such a way as to meet approval
than they would have been in any
scheme to embarrass their superiors.
Since the Inauguration of Mr. Cleve-
land there have been frequent rumors
of INSTRUMENTATION on the part of the
railway mail clerks. At one time they
have been threatening to strike in a
body, and at another they have been
"organizing" to resist any changes
which the Postmaster-General, in his
discretion, might make. These con-
spiracies recently eliminated in we'll
defined movement in the West to bring
about complete paralysis of the pos
tai service at any moment when the
"union," taking exception to orders
from the Government, should proclaim
a strike. In this performance the rail
way clerks manifested that spirit of
political intolerance which under Re-
publican rule made the civil-service of
the country great party machine and
denied to one-half of the people repre-
sentation therein, as completely as if
they had been aliens. Chicago Herald

Artists Models in Paris.

A curious bit Of statistical lor0 has
come to light. Il seems that in Paris
there is an ofiioisi list kept OF artists
models and that their number for tho
present year amounts to GA. AL ma
tionalities are represented in Nj, 6ocu-
ment, but in proportions that ss.em at
first sight surprising. The Italians head
the list. OF the whole 671 they consti-
tute about third. Paris herself only
supplies one-haf what Italy supplies.
OF French models In the Paris studios
there are but 100. The Germans num-
bcr strong at 80; and then there are go
Swiss, so Spanish girls, the same num-
ber of Belglans, 45 English, 80 Amer
leans, A Austrans. 2 Portuguese and l
Irish girl. The statistics supply not
only nationality but age. OF the GIL
1870 have passed their majority. All the
rest are young girls from 10 to 20. OF
course, they do not gain their livelihood
exclusively by their sittings. Most OF
them are ballet glrls-or, to adopt their
own definition, dramatic artists. st.

LESSONS FROM ENGLAND.

Secretary whitney Avoiding the Biunders
OF Great ISritain and Ills Republican
Predecessors In Administering His De-
partmcnt Anairs.
The Roach, Robcson and Chandler
system, which succeeded so admirably
in making our navy the scof of the
world and in squandcring millions of
the peoples money. without giving
any equivalent, seems to have been
adopted in England. A storm Is brew
ing over the heads of the admiralty on
account of recent disclosures that the
boasted British navy Is not all 1t is
represented to be and has an undue
proportion of leaking ships and burst
ing guns. Some of the fast cruisers,
says the Saturday Reuiew, have proved
to be craft which will 20 very fast over
the measured mile and then. when
they have been kept at work for a
voyage or two, become strained. lose
their shape. more or less, and become
proverbially leaky and certainly COM
paratively slow. Perhaps such vessels
must needs have some weakness which
renders them little fit for prolonged
hard work The description seems to
notorious craft turned out under the
sors. The present hard working,
painstaking and conscientious head of
the Navy Department is sparing no
pains to rehabilitatc the navy and is
making the best use of the means
placed at his disposal.
1t will be we'll to profit by the dis
closures which are being made in refer
ence to the British navy, the leaky Ca
lypso, the bursting gun on the Colling-
wood and the serious defects of the
Ph1ton. Those vessels were of the
most improved and modern types, and
the guns were pronounced by the Ord
nance Department the best of their
class. A searching inquiry is called
for, and it is feared that the ''invinci-
ble' British navy will be found to be
in the same unprepared state as was
the French army at the outbreak of the
war of 1870. 1t is decidedly scientific
work to make vessel which will be
both swift and strong, or gun which
will fire very heavy shot by very
powerful Charge of powder without
bursting. Mr. Whitney is determined
to secure those necessary elements in
the building up of the navy. He
is hampered by the cumbersome
system which governs the de-
partment, and needs thor
ough reorganization. 1t should be
the first step taken by Congress to
bring around the reconstruction of the
navy. The department can take adj
vantage of the experience of England
in avoiding the blundcrs which have
wrought such mischief in her navy and
robbed some of her most vaunted ships
of their prestige. The Secretary of the
Navy has made the initiatory move to
adopt scheme which has proved of
inestimable value to the British admir-
atty, to have list and description of
merchant steamers prepared for the
department., to be regarded as avail
able in case of emergency. to serve as
auxiliary cruisers or transports. 1t is
Il plan that is in operation with the
great Powers of Europe, and must
work to advantage in case of war, If
Congress will only do its duty toward
the Navy Department, there will be no
delay in repairing the blunders and
rascalities of former ars.-Albany

ADOPTED CHILDREN.
The True Story Of q Mother, Cat and
Three Little Squirrels.

The True Story of Mother, Cat and
Three Little Squirrels.
Mrs. Williams stood OH the porch of
her farmhouse home in Indiana one
day, looking for her two boys, who had
been out hunting. In corner Of the
porch was big basket, in which lay an
old Cat, with three kittens about a week
old. Presently the Two boys came up.
Will had his hat in his hand, carrying
something, which proved to be three
very young squirrels. Thev had killed
the mother, and, tindi. !, the young
ones in the nest, had brought them
home, and meant to raise them for
pets.
"Tll put 'em down here, and get
box for 'em," and Will, taking the
little things from his cap, and placing
them on the floor of the porch. At
that moment. Tab jumped out of her
basket, and marched up to them.
''Oh, the cat! She'll eat 'em up!"
cried Mrs. Williams, and was stopping
to rescue the squirrels, when viii
stopped her. "Let's see what she'll
do"
What puss did do was to walk up, 60
around the squirrels, smell them 1T
tie, and then lick and caress them,
purring softly over :. them. She
stayed moment. then turned
and walked away, when, hear
ing one of the squirrels crv, she
turned back, watched them little,
then deliberately picked one of them
up, and carried it to her basket. Lay
ing it down with her kittens, she came
back and carried the other two in the
same way. When they were all in the
nest, she cuddled herself down with
them, licking and smoothing their fur
as if they were her own babies.
The boys were delighted, but Mrs.
Williams was greatly alarmed, and
wanted them to take the little Great
ures out, declaring that they would be
eaten by morning. The boys. howev-
er. left the squirrels and kittens togeth-
er, and the next morning they were as
contented as If they had always been
there.
And there they stayed, and the good
old Tab brought them up with her own
family. They soon got large enough
to run up the trees in the yard, where
they would play and frisk about, and
return, when tired, to their cat-moth-
er. At last one of them ran off to the
woods, and day or two later the 9TH
er ones followed. The boys tried to
catch the ungrateful little beasts, but
did not succeed.
Puss whined and mewed after them
for few days, and refused to be COM
forted, but finding they did not return,
| devoted herself to the rest of her fami-
ly, and seemed to conclude to mourn
no longer for her foster-children.
This incident actually occurred, just
as given, near the little village of Har-
mony, during the year just passed.

Sample Republican Reform.

The record of General Black and
that of his predecessor in the Pension
Office are matters of comparison and
contrast, on which no judicious Rcpub-
ican organ will needlessly concentrate
public attention. General Black went
into office as head of the Pension Bu-
reau March IL. 1885. His record as a
Union soldier is too well-known to need
rehearsal here. His appointment was
everywhere recognized as one emf
nently fit to be made. Entering upon
his duties, what was the state of affairs
which he found as to the ofliceholders
under himp The Office had been in
Republican hands for twenty years.
For more than half that time the Re-
publican party had been pledged
publicly in all its conventions, State
and national, to the great principal of
"divorcing. patronage from politics. /"
On the 18th Of March, 1885, the day

QUEER CREATUREa
Why SpOnges Were at Last Relegated "a
Place Among the Animals.

Why sponges Were at Last delegated TO
Place Among the Animals.
The choicest sponges are obtained
from the Mediterranean sea. Many of
less fine grade are exported from Flor
ida, the West Indies and the Bahama
Islands. All sponges are marine except
one, the Spongilla. This is to be found
in streams and lakes attached to sticks,
stones, etc. 1t has been known to find
its way into water-plpes, and to ac-
oumulate in sufficient quantities to make
necessary its removal. Soft, brittle
sponges of no commercial value are to
be found nearly everywhere along the
seashore attached to rocks, shells, etc.
Sponges assume quito variety of shapes
in their growth. Some are branched, CIV
| ing them very decided plant-like ap-
pearance. Others are cup shaped, and
are sometimes called basket spon9cs.
Very many take on no definite form or
are amorphous. So far as know, no ex-
planation has ever been given of the
different forms they assume in their
growth.
Assponges were for long time conBid-
cred plants, it is interesting to consider
why they were at last relegated to a
place among the animals. The char
acters which identify them with animals
are chiefly two: The nature of their
food and the composition of their body
substance. Animals live upon organic
matter; that is, upon other animals or
upon plants. Plants, on the contrary,
hive upon inorganic matter, such 80
water, carbonic acid gas and ammonia.
Tried by this test, sponges are animals.
So, too, as to the nature of their body
substance; it does not contain any Of
the compounds characteristic of plants,
as starch and cellulose; but its chemical
composition agrees with that of many
other animals. And so, notwithsiand.
ing the fact that some sponges are very
plant-like in shape, and that all, in hav-
ing no power of locomotion, but in
being rooted to one place, are like tho
great majority of plants and unlike tho
great majority of animals, they are yet
true animals. After all, these resem.
blances TO plants are only superficial.
There are many species of lower plants
which have the power of locoinotiOn,
and there are quite number of animals
besides the sponge which are tixed.-M
