Tho Governor and tho Civil Service Law

Tho Governor and the Civil Service Law.
The Tribune, for the Republicans, and the
Times. for the Mugwumps have brought q
comic double-headed indictment against
Governor HILL. They accuse him Of two
contradictory offences In regard to the Civil
Service law OF the State. First. he is vio-
lating the Civil Service law; secondly, he is
enforcing that law too rigidly.
while he has broken down the Civil
Service Reform law" says the Tribune, $50
that he can dismiss from the Insurance De-
partment nearly all its present efficient
clerks, upon the other hand he is using tho
Civil Service law to embarrass In needless
manner the work OF the Regents OF the
University"
Not enough OF civil service reformer,
too much OF a OWL service re.ormer; 1t 10
plain that Governor HILL can never satisfy
the Mugwumps and the Republicans. For
the fun OF the thing, let US look at these
charges; but there is nothing to see In tho
first one. Superintendent PIERCE can dis
charge every employee In the Insurance
Department, II ho likes. without violating
the Civil Service law. Civil service reform
has not yet reached the point, praised be
tho god OF common sense! where 1t can keep
q man in office. There is still little power
loft In the appointing officer.
Governor Hills excess Of civil service
reform consists In the fact that the Civil
Service Commissioners have placed on tho
competitive list tho inspectors employed by
the Board of Regents Mr.. Chancellor Cur.
TIs aud tho Regents insist that these In
spectors arc confidential servants and
should be exempted from the competitive
examinations. Tho plea seems unworthy of
distinguished civil service reformer like
Mr.. CURTIS. He lays himself open to the
charge OF seeking to restrict and not ex-
tend the competitive system. Tho Commis-
sioners Justly tender Of Mr.. CURrIss ropu.

Unorna smiled rather scornfully az
first, as she looked down upon the
little mans strange face and gaze6
fearlessly into his eyes. But as she
looked the smile faded and the color
slowly sunk from her face until she
was very pale. And as she felt her
self losing courage before something
which she could not understand, Ke-
york's eyes grew brighter and
brighter till they glowed like drops Of
molten metal. A sound as of many
voices wailing in agony rose and
trembled and .quavered in the air.
With n wild cry UnOrna pressed hel
hands to her ears and fled toward the

You are very nervous tonight,
observed Keyork as he opened The
door.
Then he went silently down tn,
stairs by her side and helped her int
the carriage, which had been waiting
since his return.

Almost daily she saw him. As in

RAVES OF ApVERTIsIno.
WE AND THE WORLD.

The world is the same as it used to be,
But there have come changes to you and 10
me,
There is Just as much right and as little Of
wrong,
There is just as much summer and sunshine
and song.
But we-oh, we look through our tears and
our care,
And we fancy the fields are all cherries
and bare,
And we say Of the picture, "How sadly
derangedp
But It isn't at ALL It is we who have changed.
The birds sing as sweetly, and brooks as they
flow
Are babbling the songs of the glad long
ago,
The butterflies dance in the meadow to-day,
And the children are laughing about in the
hay.
Our ears have grown dull and belimmed is
the eye,
And we miss all the beauty Of earth and Of
sky.
We are shut in ourselves; were we not we
could sec
That the world is the same as it used to be.

Browns adventure made quite sen.
sation on his return to London. He was
the hero Of the hour in his circle.
Whether or not he related the circum.
stances exactly, as here set forth, need
not be mentioned. His friend Jones,
among others, gave dinner party in his
honor. Brown, with his usual punctu4l
ity, was the first of the guests 10 arrive.
"By the way" Jones said chaffingly
to him, as the two stood chatting to-
gether on the hearth-rug, ''you must
look to your laurels tonight, Brown.

"Dear mel What an extraordinary
coincidenceP'
''In his case it was a lunatic, not a
robber. He was shadowed at hotels
and trains. You must hear the story
from his own lips; he's dining here to-
night. The climax is terrific. Shut into
a railway carriage alone with a lunatic,

A long tunnel, an extingmshed lamp,
the lunatio crawling in the darkness to
the attack, an escape by the skin of the
teeth. Leroy has sufficient presence of
mind to open the door and pretend to
get out, in reality crawling under the
seat instead. The ruse saved his life.
He supposes that he tainted in the sti-
fling air, for, when he was next con-
scious, the train had left Often and he
was alone in the carriage, from which all
traces of the lunatic had disappeared"
Jones was so eugrossed In telling the
story, he did not remark It's curious and
startling effect on Brown.
Just then the door was thrown open,
and the footman announced "Mr. Le-
roy"
Jones, springlng forward with effusion
to greet the new conner, led him gush-
ingly up to Brown.
"You two must know each other" he
said.
And they did. The recognition was
instantaneous on both sides. With a
gasp, Brown stared in speechless wonder
on the man with the black whiskers,
while Leroy stared back aghast on en-
countering the gaze of the lunatic J.

A Burial Pond.

A remarkable freak Of nature is found
among the hills of Delaware County, N.
Y, in sunken lake covering about
three acres of surface, which lies between
two parallel ridges not far from the New
York, Ontario and Western Railroad.
The whole surface of the lake is covered
with thick growth of moss, whose
stems extend to an unknown depth, but
certainly farther than the arm can reach.
Each tuft of the moss is of different
color from its neighbor, 50 that the sur
face looks like that of a beautiful colored
carpet. In walking over the velvety sur
face, tine foot sinks down few inches
without encountering the water, which
is at least two feet below the surface
Near the shore, in a few places, the
water comes to the top. The buried
pond is a wonderful natural curiosity. -

Soap Bubble Parties.

Soap.bubble parties are decidedly
popular. And if you intend having one,
here is pretty idea for you. Of course
the bowl stands on a table; over the
bowl build large arch of flowers; have
it high enough and broad enough that
the soap bubbles can float under it,
There are partners in blowing bubbles,
and together they must stand or fall
carry off the first prize with honor or the
BOBBY prize with ignominy. The ladies
select their pipes from one basket, the
gentlemen theirs from another, and the
gentle maiden recognizes her hero by
her colors, which will adorn his pipe.
When the contest begins the fair dame
blows a bubble, and her knight attempts
to blow it under the floral arch; then
the knight takes his turn at the pipe,
while his companion tries to watt the
frail bubbles under the flowers. The
prizes are awarded to the couple who
blow the best bubbles and succeed in
getting the greatest number of them
through the triumphal arch.-Ne,O York

Ducks as Fire Extlnguishers.

Once at large house in the country
the chimney took fire. The flames
spread to the woodwork in different
parts of the house, and although the fire
was extinguished at each place it caught,
it still burned in the chimney, and from
time to time spread in some other direc-
tion. The fire grew hotter and hotter,
and threatened to burst the chimney. 1t
was hard to reach, and there seemed no
way of putting it out.
The gentleman who owned the house
was fcnd of fowls, and possessed some
valuable ones. A by who stood by
looking at the fire saw the danger, a
bright idea struck him. He ran to the
duck pen and startled the sleeping ducks
by seizing by their legs as many of the
largest as he could carry. The ducks
squawkcd vigorous protests, but were
hurried off. A ladder was called for,
and before any one realized what he was
going to do, the young fellow mounted
to the roof, and made his way to the
chimney.
Flames and smoke were pouring out,
but the boy went as near as he dared,
and by dexterous motion tossed duck
down the narrow shaft. 1t disappeared,
duttering and squawking. The flames
subsidized little, and the smoke grew
denser. The boy threw down another
duck, and after q minute another. Tho
cloud of SCOT and dust carried down by
the tapping wings of the ducks smoth-
cred and checked the fire with such good
effect that the advantage gained was
easily followed up, and the fire soon put
out without further damage.-Harper's

CHECKING Coughing and Sncezlne.

DIR. Brown-Sequard, in one of his lee
lures, dwells with great emphasis on the
Importance of general knowledge in the
matter of checking coughing aud sneez-
ing. He states that coughing can be
stopped by pressing on the nerves of the
lips in the neghbOrhood of the nose
and sneezing may be stopped in the
same way. Pressing in the neighbor-
hood of the ear, right in front of the
ear, may stop coughing. 1t is so also of
hiccoughing, but much less so than for
sneezing or coughing. Pressing ycrI
hard on the roof of the mouth is also a
means of arresting cough, and the will
itself is often found to be wonderful
preventive. DR.. Sequard points
out that IN addition to the many ordi-
nary reasons why people should know
these simple facts, there are conditions
under which this knowledge may prove
of the greatest value. In bronchitis and
pneumonia, or any acute affection Of the
lungs, hacking Or coughing may lead to
serious results, and the ability to readily
mitigate or arrest them is of the highest
importance. 49, ChicaJO Ne1oS.

a young woman in Cincinnati de-
termNed to die and made all of the es-
sential preparations, including a letter of
instruction to a friend enclosing the
money for her burial. She then changed
her mind about the suicide and tried to
recover the money. The friend was
obdurate and insisted upon keeping it
until the specific purpose for which it
was given had been accomplished. The
courts decided that the friend must
return the money.

Queer Names.

A gentleman in Boston has made q
collection of odd names, and has some
curious ones on his list. Here are few

Applepie Johnston, of Pittsburg; Echo
Halfnose, of Chicago.
Dickens gave queer names to his men
and women, and often took great pains
TO find name to suitably fit some char
acter. 1t is said that he found most of
them in old London dictionaries. This
is probably true. Truth is always
stranger than fiction. No story you read
can be more wonderful than tine story
