Civil Service Reform.

Here is the way Mr.. George William
Curtis, who is at the head of the civil SER
vice reform association, expresses and char
acteuzes such conduct on the part of the
new administration.
"If the President regards himselfas trus-
tee of his party, he is trustee of party
which adopted civil service reform as its
policy, and declared that it's spirit and pur-
pose should be observed in all executive ap-
pointments. Yet not in one conspicuous
instance, so far as know, has the President
observed that spirit and purpose or ordered
them to be observed. l do not mean, of
course, that he has appointed no honest
and capable officers, but that he has not rs-
spected the principle. that such officers in
places which are not political should not be
removed for political reasons; nor do know
a single member of the Cabinet, single
Senator or Representative in Congress, or,
with very few honorable exceptions, like
Thendore Roosevelt, of New York, a single
recogaized local leader of the dominant par
ty, who has.publicly insisted that the de-
clared policy of the party on this subject
shall be respected. The administration
Senators and Representatives who fingered
in Washington after the adjournment cf
Congress, did not remain to take care5.!
the party policy of reform should be-
forced, but, as Office brokers and peddlers
of patronage, to secure places for political
workers, to procure party advantages, and
to foster personal ambitions. They were
not engaged in promoting the public ser-
vice where politics are impsrtinent, but in
Tightening and strengthening by patronage
"a party machine. Meanwhile the party
clubs, leagues and committees all over the
Union have shown by their conduct the
confident expectation that no regard would
be paid by the administration to the plat
form promises and pledges under which in
the campsign the support of the intelligent
citizens friendly to reform was solicited
With very few honorable exceptions the
press Of the party has either demanded the
usual political prescription in the civil SER
vice, or it has acquissced in the practical
contempt of the declared party policy, or it
has truculently defended the plainest neglect
of principle as real reform. The chief party
organ in the country frankly defended the
overthrow of reform in the New York post
Office by the assertion that sit is certain
that party organization cannot be main
tanned by ignoring party leaders," which is
the old and fundamental plea for the spoils
system"

What She Would DO.

| They were talking about somebody who
had been shamelessly Tilted by her young
man. A woman is never as hard on a.
young man for jiltipg q girl as on girl for
.jilting young man.
"Fred, if you did that to me, if you went
off with another girl, do you know what
would do?'
mo, dear. What?p
81 would simply get hold of you and tell
you what thought of you, and then I'd
leave you and never speak to you again."
"Would you really do that9"
''Yes, I-po, I don't think I would. !
would despise you and have too great q
contempt for you to take any notice of it st
all or Of you ever after. If you think 10
little OF me after all you've said you cannot
be the gentleman I thought You were."
"But, say, DEAR haven't, you know.
I haven't done anything at all"
"No, ] know you haven't, but if you
were to, if found that you were making
love to another girl-I'd mol wouldn't-
I'd just be as nice as could to you-doubly
nice to you-and I'd make you SO fond of
me you couldn't live without me and then
I'd turn around and tell you I wanted
nothing to do with you"
s'That wonld be moan.1 z-~=i--s3 , ..-----
"Well--so it would. No, 1 guess I'd go
to you and tell you quietly that although
you were so contemptibly double faced, /
couldn't be; / have too much self. respect;
and that you were free-free to go with
anybody you liked"
sThat would be better"
"Would it? Oh, that wouldn't be all.-
I'd make you sufer-oh, I'd make you
suffer if you ever treated me like that"
"What would you do?''
''Td wait till L got a good opportunity
and I'd humilfate you"
"How?"
ST don't know, but I'd do it all the same.
Maybe you think Pm stupid; but I'd
show you"
''Shall / tell you what you'd do, if you
ever found me out''-
''Qo you mean to say you have already.
Well"-
"No. If ever did, do you know what
you'd do?''
"What?'
'sYou'd go and get another young man
aid make it out you'd Tilted me-"
"Well, guess that's what really would
do after all."-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.

The news was received with the utmost
satisfaction by the community that he bad

is stealing away loved and valued life, is
an achievement that should inspire heart

A SHOWER OF FRoas.-A dispatch from

A SHOWER OF FRoas.-A dispatch from
jamestown, OAK, says: "About 6 O'Clock
Monday night peculiar circumstance was
noticed by number of people. A small
black cloud hanging rather low was noticed
to move rather queerly, when suddenly the
cloud was lost sight of and a precipitation
of frogs was seen. There were several
hundred of them, and they could be seen
hopping mp in the street a block away. A
number of persons were on hand and made
it lively for the hoppers. It is claimed a
funnel-shaped cloud, indicating cyclone,
was seen in the west shortly before, and
the theory of some is that the frogs were
caught up from some slough in this whirl-
wind and carried in the air until it spent
itself, which happened to be over the centre
of the principal business streets.

.The Fruits of rntemperance.

The punishment of vice and intemper-
ance does not end with the vicious and in-
temperate, but the great human family is
so constituted that one member cannot sin
without pulling down others. Thus in an
appalling degree, are parents answerable
for the weakness and vices of their chill
dren.
A man drinks moderately and steadily all
his life, with no apparent harm to himself,
but his daughters become nervous wrecks,
his sons epileptics, libertlnes or incurable
drnnkards; the hereditary tendency to crime
having its pathology and UNMARRIED laws,
like scrofula, consumption, or any other
pnrely physical disease. These are stale
truths with medical men; but the majority
Of parents, even those of average intelli-
gence and culture, are apparently either ig-
norant OR wickedly regardless of them.
When our people are brought to remove gin
shops and gin sellers for the same reason
that they would stsgnant ponds or unclean
sewers, there will bo chance of riddlng
our isils and almshouses of half the tenants.
We have urged this point until it has
become hackneyed and tedious but how
can we be silent so long as fresh murder
or suicide every day exemplifies the CHASTITY
peril and its cause.-NeaU York Tribune.

A CROWN OF MOTHERS TEARS.

One evening when the sun had set,
All nature still spd hushed,
Two little stars came peeping cut,
Looked down on the earth and blusied.
Two little Will! e-robed angels
Looked down from the stars of gold,
And saw the ssddest, sweetest sight
They ever did behold.
1t was q mother kneeling
By the side of her dying child,
Whose little quivering lips now wore
A peac eful, heavenly smile.
The fair young brow was clammy
Short and quick his breath.
And the sweet, blue eyes sparkling
So soon TO be closed in death.
The.reaper stood with sickle drawn
To pluck the tender flower,
While the mothers heart for her darling
Oh, twas sad. sad hour. lyearned
The cherubs look ked in pity
From their home joy and mirth;
Then laying down both harp and crown
They f1uttered down to earth.
They noisely entered the darkend room
And hovered round the bed,
And caught the mothers tears as they fell
On her dariipg's golden head.
They were brighter far than miser's gold
Or the treasured diamonds blaze.
And sparkled like the bright snnbeams
Mid the fairees summer days.
One little cherub took them oil
And hurried back TO heaven,
And wove them into beautiful crown
To the dying child to be given.
The other angel caught the babe
In tender aims of love,
And bore him over the dark Wild river
To that glorious home above.
When they reached the beautiful city o
With no more doubtr or fears. lgold
They placed a crown on his shimmerine
curls,
The crown of mothers tears.

YErLoyE RETAINS UNCHANGED.

Is marriage then really a failure.
AS cynical people declare?
'Tis not, though it must be admitted
1t changes the hue of the hair.
The lover Is lost in the husband
The heart yields Its place to the head;
The hair that was auburn in courtshfp
Alas after marriage Is red.
In marriage sweet courtship's forgotten.
The poetry fades out OF life,
And the beautiful auburp-haired sweetheaI
Grows into the red-headed wife.

High Tides.

Owing to the excessive rains and the
prevailing eastern winds, the tides in the
Christiana and tributary streams have
been very high during the last few days.
As was stated in this paper yesterday.
Guthries road and the marsh land in the
immediate vicinity are flooded. Middle
boro marsh below the pulp works
Is inundated, causing great
inconvenience to persons who use the
marsh for grazing and other purposes.
The overflow at that place, it is said, is
caused by bridge which was built across
Mill creek by the w & N. railroad. In.
stead of constructing the approaches of
trestle work the company has filed it uI
