CHANCES FOR CLERKsHIPS.
Almost Anybody from South Carolina who
Can Pass the Examination Can Get
a Government Place.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The civil
service commission has in course Of
preparation a circular of instructions
to applicants or examination for ap-
pointment to Government department
service. A considerable portion of it is
devoted to the discussion of the ques-
ton: "When may our appointment be
expected"
In connection with this subject it is
learned that while the quotas of several
Eastern, Northern and Western States
are generally exhausted, those ofSouth-
cru States, especially in eligibles for
appointment from the clerks registers,
are not full, the fact being, it is stated,
that competent clerks who can pass
the necessary examination from either
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas,
Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina or Kentucky,
are reasonably certain of appoint
ment.
During the last three years seven
teen men from the State Of Alabama
successfully passed the clerk examina-
ton. Of these, ten have received ap-
pointments, the remaining seven hav-
ing been certified but not appointed.
During the same time about one hun
dred and ninety men from Indiana
successfully passed the same examina-
ton, only five of whom have received
appointments. Taking the appoint
ments in the entire department service
it was stated that only one woman is
appointed out of every thirty who sue
cessfully passed the required examina-
tions.

Taxation Pillaging the Farms.

From the \. Y. Saturday Globe
The alarm which prevails among
farmers is finding expression in neigh
borhood and county meetings in every
part Of the country. The singular spec
tacle of vast tariff reform pic-nics and
mass meetings in some Of the Western
States, during the whole of last sum-
mer, Immediately succeeding presi-
Dental election, in which the tariff
question was supposed to have been
settled, and which was really the pub
lie expression of agricultural distress,
is now followed by anxious discussion
on the part of fnon-partisan agricultural
societies and boards Of agriculture in
many Of the Eastern States. The
prices Of farm produce tend steadily
downward. The young flock from the
country to the towns, and the far
mer, now receiving an utterly made
quate return upon his labor and his
capital, sees rapidly approaching the
time when he will receive practically
no return at all, and must abandon his
home and business or starve-a condi-
ton which is already present in some
of the New England States.
1t would seem very easy to arrive at
the causes of agricultural depression in
a country where everything which the
farmer buys is heavily taxed for the
benefit Of the domestic manufacturer
and where, in addition, most of the
necessaries of life and the supplies es-
.sential to his business are cornered by
trusts bottomed on unnatural tariff
laws. The "home market" promised
to the farmer in return for his sub
mission to these monopoly exac-
tions, and for his vote TO main
tain the tariff under which they are
levied, has proved gross delusion.
The market is there, to be sure, but it
is capable of absorbing only a portion
Of his produce. The rest must be eX-
ported, or perish on his hands, and the
export prices fixes the home price.
The duties on the. products of the
farm, which are put in alongside of
those on the products of the factory
to amuse the innocent farmer, may
preserve him from q little local COM
petition on the Canadian border, but
it is a mere trifie-as a grain of sand
to continent, or a drop of water to
the ocean. There can be no tariff
protection to great industry spread
ing itself equally over the whole coun-
try, and producing more than the
country can consume.

BOY PREACHERS oUTDONE.
AN Illiterate Negro Who Is Eloquent and
Erudite When In a Trance.
ISt. Louis Globe-Democrat. |

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
COLUMBIA, S. c., March s.-Major
Perry, the illerate and ignorant Edge
fed County negro, who, while IN
what appears to be a trance sleep,
breaches learned and eloquent sermons,
is still attracting great dea' of atten-
ton, and several enterprising citizens
of Edgefield County now have the hu-
man phenomenon in charge and are
exhibiting him to large audience. The
naodus operandi is as follows:
Perry goes TO bed and lies out
stretched in full view of the audience,
and by the time the spectators have
assembled is fast asleep. After few
moments of apparently sound slumber
his muscles begin to twitch, his limbs
to contract, and his body becomes con-
torted in unseemly shapes. This spasm
soon passes off and then he begins to
preach. He takes his text from the
Bible, naming book, chapter and verse,
all the time lying fat on his back with
his eyes shut, and for half an hour or
more breaches, using strictly gram
matical and even eloquent language.
At the conclusion of his sermon he
sings a hymn to All old air, but the
words of it entirely new and of his own
composition. Then comes a prayer,
and he dismisses the congregation.
The text for the sermon preached by
Perry Thursday night was announced
by him to be found in Daniel, vi, q ,
and that it read as follows:
"Then said Daniel unto the King, O,
King live forever"
The words of the text will be found
to be exactly correct, which is certain
ly marvellous when it is positive
ly known that the negro cannot read a
word, nor had he ever heard the text
in question read or spoken to him by
any one. Four reputable physicians OF
Edgefeld-Drs. Trotter, Buster, Stroth-
ers and Jennings-were present on this
occasion, and made a physical, ana
tomical and psychological examination
Of the preacher, and pronounced the
mystery as one beyond their ken. An
other remarkable thing is that this un-
conscious preaching goes on every
night, no matter where he may be,
whether before an audience or not, eN-
cept Oh Friday night, when he is dumb.

The moral, perchance, is not proper to
hide,
It levels at once our poor human pride,
We are all in the clutch of Invisible foes,
And the elements fill us with blessings
and woes
We have brotherhood bonds to pay at our
ease.
In all the vast circle of health and disease.
We are saved by the self-same Omnipo-
tent Power,
While none istoo poor to escape from its
dover;
And little it matters. whatever may slip,
So Gods buckler shield us from Satanic
