From he CieDoldHd Leader.
Government cerlships have wrecked tho
prospects of many bright young man. Tho
man in Office is the creature of political ca
price. In spite OF the civil service law, 1t is
still fact which no one will dispute that
neither independence nor self-respect of the
highest order are usually found among Office
holders. The tenure is too uncertain, too
much subject TO the ylcissitudes OF party SUI
premacy.
II a young man has fair capabilities, and
Will be reasonably energetic aud industrious, he
is much more likely to have a home of his own
and neat reserve In bank by the time he is
80 by sticking to his present employment,
even II It is only moderately remuuerative,
than by seeking and accepting Government
cerkship. It not infrequently happens that
men who have held such clerkships for years
are turned out, only to find themselves with
ont the fitness or experience that would quail
ify them for any other business position.
Besides, there is little chance for advance
ment in the great departments, and as usual
thing those who hold such places save very
little money. All these arc reasons why II is
not prudent for young men who have fair
prospects of winning success by their own
pluck and push, to give them up and accept a
place under the Federal Government, with it's
uncertainties, anxieties and veXations An
active interest In politics is one thing--that is
every young mans duty--Federal oflice-hold-
ing is another and much less desirable mat
ter, as those who try it usually discover to
their regret

my wife, my good darling wife, my God,
what will do" 1t was awful to see the
strong man there crying for his wife and
for vengeance. lie threw himself on the
floor and then tried to break from those
who held him, and finally became calm.
Then they told him that his wife was
dead, and he took the news without
further emotion. Some time later he
spoke of her lovingly and tenderly.
TRUE AS STEEL, PURE AS A VIRGIN"
mo husband ever loved wife more
than did NINE" he said. "She was
SO sympathetic, and she gloried in my
success'and sympathized In my failures.
She was all that wife could be, true as
steel and pure as a virgin"
His anger partially passed away with
his tender thoughts.
MARTIN was a boy" he said, "a coun.
try lad. He was good-hearted fellow,
too, and often took our little boy to plays.
OF course, he loved my wife. Who
could blame him for loving her? But /
was not jealous, for she told me every
thing, and only looked on him as did,
as o good-natured country boy"

Loaning to the Lord.
From the Salt Lake Tribune,

A good Latter Day Saint says he remembers
very well how Brother Brigham used to send
over to the city hall when he was short to see
how much money there was in the treasury,
that the same might be loaned to the Lord
The relatdr told how one day the Beehive
messenger came into the house with the ex-
clamalion. "Well boys, how much cash
is there to-day in the treasury" "About
$S,000," said the treasurer. swell, pack 1T
up; the old man wants it," and the $4,000 was
"packed up'' without any ado and laid at the
feet of Brother Brigham. There was no col
lateral of any kind put up; the loan was to
the Lord our God and the Lord our God was
Brigham. Readers who doubt the above may
be convinced by turning to Mrs. Stenhouse's
book and learn how Brother Brigham ordered
$275 worth OF bonnets of her for his wives and
then wrote on the bottom of the bill: "You
will be credited this amount on your tithing
account.

Three Hours to Philadelphia.

After three weeks of experiment the Il. 81
O. management discovered they could put
their trains through to Philadelphia in quicker
time than ever before attempted, SO they have
Topped off the fraction and announce their
Limited Express time between here and the
Quaker City as three hours, even. While this
Is fast time 1t is not made by reckless running,
but by maintaininga steady speed of about 40
miles per hour The b. & o. has for years
successfully operated a much faster service
than this between Washington and Baltimore
and now that favorable opportunity offers it
is extending the field of its usefulness and
brings Philadelphia closer to the Capital OF
the Union than she has ever been before, II
is to the competition of the B. & o. that Wash
enlargement Of her passenger train service to
regions north OF her, and the b. & o. will
doubtless share In the benefits which the new
conditions cannot fail to produce.

NIephisto's Dilemma.


About a fortnight ago there was a genuine
novelty enjoyed by the audience at the Grand
Opera at Paris which was not on the bills.
"Faust' was the attraction, and at the end Of
the second act, when Faust, Marguerite and
MephistO came forward in response TO a call,
the curtain presently fell on Mdrguerite'S head
and simultaneously shut out Mephisto and left
him in front OF the footlights de tried to get
off, but owing to the private boxes on the
stage failed to accomplish his design. Sud-
denly, as he got one leg over the roller of the
curtain, up it went again, carrying him up
with it about twelve feet. Soon, however, It
again descended and the poor devil escaped
into the orchestra. Then the drop arose again,
discovering the scene-shifters, chorus, ETC.,
wildly looking up and down, above and below,
for the missing Mephisto, and evidently think
ing he had been carried off by some fellow
fiend. Meanwhile the audience were cruelty
roaring with laughter, and 1t was a long while
before reverence was restored.

He Qualified IL.

From The Boston Transcript.
have lately heard of au old minister who
had retired from active service, but who still
retained his seat in his former pulpit while
candidates were preaching there lie always
offered the closing prayer, and after asking
the Lord to bless his servant, who had broken
the bread of life to his people that day, was
accustomed to add, land may he shine as a
star Of the first magnitude forever and ever.''
But 1t happened one Sunday that very dull
and ordinary preacher occupied the pulpit and
the good old minister was unutterably bored.
When it was time for the prayer he offered
the usual petition that the Lord would bless
his servant who had addressed the people that
day, and-here he paused. His faith was not
strong enough to allow him to conclude the
sentence in the customary way; so the con-
scientious old man added firmly: 'And may
he shine as star of considerable magnitude

square-shouIdersd Girls.

rum cue tHNuutsliitu ANctpo
Fashionable girls in New York are appar-
emily gone daft on the question OF square
shoulders. Anything to equal the pose young
women now affect is difficult to imagine.
While they are on their feet they are beautiful
to look upon and beyond criticism and cavil.
1t is when they are seated that the great and
glazing flaw Of the present artificial and fash
ionable construction of the American young
girl becomes evident While they succeed in
holding their shoulders back 1t is impossible
TO keep the neck at the same angle when
seated unless their faces are held at the same
level as the floor; hence their heads necessarily
drop forward, leaving long and noticeable
distance between the neck and the back of
the high collars. II gives the effect of cut
throat suffering. But 1t ia remedied when the
girl leans forward again or rises TO her feet.
Then everything fits In with the correct and
shapelY beauty that is the second nature of
Americas most beautiful and famous
product

blowing out the Gas.

From The San Frdncisoo chronicle.
The frequent reports OF death ascribed to
"blowing out the gas" suggest to the Chicago
Herald that coroners' juries should take some
pains to ascertain whether these cases of as
phyxiation are due to careessness or to the
faulty gas fixtures of hotels and lodging
houses, 1t points out that blowing out gas is
difficult feat, and that people have been so
often warned of the consequences that no one
of the average intelligence would dream of
doing this, even if unaccustomed to gas Tho
theory is far more reasonable that the gas
fixtures are old and havo no proper guard to
prevent the thumbscrew from turning com.
petely round. II II few of these cases are
carefully examined, it may lead to reform in
hotel plumbing.

of age, and began newspaper work about ten
years ago. He is a native of New York State,
but drifted into the oil country while quite
young, engaging with an older brother in the
machinery business. Both brothers had a
taste for writing and statistics, and began the
publication Of a petroleum circular. This con-
tinued for some years, until in 1851 Phil con-
nected himself with the Petroleum World, pub
lished at Titusville. When that Inflated
venture collapsed he began the publication of
the EUening Telegram at OIL City, where he
resided. This only lasted a few months, going
down in blaze of glory and a sea of financial
troubles. Welch then went to Rochester, n.
Y, and began writing the witty paragraphs
that have made him famous This was in
1882. Next year he wekt on the Philadelphia
