\ Sweet and Gracious Actress.

"a Sweet and Gracious Actress.
OF good deed in naughty. world,
done by an actress and without an
eye to the effect as an advertisement,
the Graphic "Chaterer" says: "a la
dy who is a lady in the best and finest
sense Of the word, has been in the
slough Of despond and privation for
more than a year. She is devoted to
high dramatic art, and her mind and
heart were literally starving. She
wrote to o famous actress, saying she
was il, and could not. afford the lux
ury Of seeing her. unless q ticket were
given her. In response to her brief
note came a charming one from the
busy, beautiful actress, enclosing the
best seats in the house and accom
.panyinga basket OF fruit which might
have grown in the garden of Eden
when the world was new, SO fresh, so
beautiful was it. And when this
actress assumed another role
came more tickets and both fruits
and flowers to the invalid. Isn't that.
asasWeet and gracious an act as you
have heard of in a long time? would
like to tell you the name Of this love-
ly actress who is SO womanly and
thoughtful, but then you would think
it was s.puf," perhaps vas even paid.
for sin advance"-and that would.
takethe bloom off this little idyl.."

h CIVIL SERVICE.
oprRimoN or THr r.aw

!; III continued operation of the law relating
to our civil service has added to the most oon-
v1ncing proofs OF its necessity and usefulness.
It is o fact worthy Of note that every public OIL
Ger who has a just idea Of his duty to the people
~testiaes to the value or this reform. It's
staunchest friends are found among those who
understand 1t best, and ttsZwarmest supporters
are those who are restrained and protected By
It's requirements; Tho meaning Of such restraint
and protection ID not appreciated by those who
want places nader the government regardless Of
merit and efficiency. nor by those who insist
that the selection for: such places should rest
upon n proper credehtial showing active partisan
work: They mean to the good people of the
their government. 1t is exceedingly strange
that the scope and nature of this reform are
30 little understood and that 80 many
things not included within its plan
are called BY tts name: When
animation the System will have large additions
to the number OF its friends. Our civil service
reform may be imperfect In some of its details,
It may be Misunderstood and opposed, it may
not always be faithfully applied, It's, designs may
sometimes mtscarry through mistake or Ill will,
or It may sometimes trelnble under the assaults
Of Its enemies or laugntsh under the misguided
zeal Of tmpraoticRble friends. II the people of
this country ever submit to the Punishment of
It's underlying principle from the operation Of
their government they will abandon their surest

On the 4th Of March. 1885, the current busi-
ness Of the patent Office; was on an average.
five and o half months behind Al the close Of
The last fiscal year such current work was but
three months In arrears. and 1t is asserted and
believed that In the next few months the delay
in obtaining IN examination of an application
for patent will be but nominal. The number
OF, applfcations for patents during the last fiscal
year, including reissue, designs. trade marks and
labels. equals 40,65e!. which is considerably in
excess of the number received during the pre-
oeding year. The receipts Of the patent office
during the year aggregated 81. 25o, 1Bz. 80. leav-
ing Ii? the TREASURY. over and above all expenses
about $16,37o.17..silhe number Of patents
granted during the last fiscal year. including re-
issues, trade marks. designs and labels, was
20. 619-a number also quite largely In excess OF
that ct any preceding year: The report Of the
commissioner shows the office to be in q PROS
porous condition, and constantly increasing in
rs business. No increase'of force is asked for.
The amount estimated for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1886. was y $3.50, 76O.
The amount estimated for the year ending June
