New York, March 20, 892.-Dear Sir
have just had conference with County
Commissioners Mayo and Frost, and on
referring to the funding act approved
Feb. 2G, 1891, we all concur in the opinion
that, while the account submitted by me
showing that the county is indebted to
the holders of bonds l represent to the
amount Of $l74, $40 20 is correct, the sum
of twenty-five hundred, ninety dollars and
twenty cents ($2, $50 20) included in this
amount is on account of interest and not
being represented by bonds or coupons,
funding bonds should not be issued on
account thereof. This claim of 50, $50. 20,
has been very properly allowed by the
commissioners and it has been agreed
that the same shall be paid in cash to
the extent of the available money now in
the treasury and certificate Of indebted
ness issued for the balance payable as
soon as funds are available.
The following statements correctly set
forth the m ethod Of arriving at the amount

Death of q Recluse.

The bachelor hermit of Clinton coun-
ty, Owen Mulligan, has paid the debt of
nature and joined the great majority
upon the other shore. He was a re-
markable man. He emigrated to Clin-
ton county upward of a half century
ago and accuNklated neat fortune
there. He was at the time of his death
worth 500, 1000. The hermit reached the
ripe old age of ninety years. He lived
all alone in modest farmhouse few
miles from Aviston. Many years ago
robbers broke into the farmhouse, and,
believing there was money hidden there,
they tortured the hermit to make him
give it up. His feet were burned black
by tallcw candles, but he kept his secret.
After that he purchased shotgun and
prepared for robbers.
A few years later he was awakened
one night by robbers in the house. They
had forced an entrance into the house
through door and were hunting for the
hermit with drawn revolvers. He lev
eled his shotgun at one of the robbers
and pulled the trigger. The villains
head was literally blown off. The other
robber escaped. The dead man was
never identified, and he was buried by
the county. Owen Mulligan's fortune
will go to relatives in Ireland.-Cor.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Report of the Commissioners Made Public
and Some Recomm en- dations Offered.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE ninth an
nual report of the United States civil
service commission has been made pub
lie. 1t gives statistics on the exanina.
tions held during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1892.
The report shows that the appoint
ment and promotions of men over
women in competitive examinations was
in the ratio of to IL.
The commission recommends that the
classified service be extended as rapidly
as practical to cover every position in
the public service to which it can be ap-
piled appropriately. The commission
also urges the adoption of a new
classification of the customs and postal
service and modification of the rules
so that the number of excepted places
and of places subject to non-competitivs
examination may be greatly reduced in
all branches Of the service.
The report is signed by Commission
ers Lyman and Roosevelt. Commits
sioner Johnston also approves the re-
port, but does not concur with that part
which refers to the extension of service,
but does not submit minority report.

An Apohorite ia Durance Vile.

Hermits are generally supposed to be
holy men who spend their lives far from
the madding crowd, occupying them
selves in works of prayer and medita-
ton on the vanity of the world. Jean
Galade, an anchorite of the Nineteenth
century, who has been arrested near
Perpignan, can hardly be classed among
the disciples of st. Anthony, or of any
other pious tenant of the Thebaid.
While supposed to be leading a contem-
plative life he was going about the
country stealing like gypsy. His dep
relations having been brought to the
notice of the proper authorities, the
gendarmes were sent out after Jean,
and he was captured at st. Paul. The
gives were promptly placed upon his
wrists, and he was marched between
two stern faced men to the prison of
Prades, where he will remain in real
seclusion from the world for consid-
cradle period. Cor. London Tele-

Dogs Testifying in Court.

Hold up your right hand and be
sworn" said Squire Tyrrell, addressing
Hector, large mastiff, in court in Gin
cinnati. The dog had been summoned
az witness, and in compliance with the
magistrates demand Hector held up his
right forepaw and commenced barking.
The case was one in which DIR. Buck
proved to the court that Hector and
Dane, another large dog, belonged to
him. The two had strayed away, and
August Schmelt, a saloon keeper, got
possession IF them and would not give
them back to the owner.
DR.. Buck had taught the animals GER
tain tricks, one of which was to initiate
witness giving testimony, and he gave
the magistrate list of questions.
"Wheres your master?" asked the
court of Rector. The dog went to the
rear part of the room and picked out
DR.. Buck from large crowd of specta-
tors
The sane question was asked of Dane,
and he went through the same perform
ance.
"Where's Dane?" was asked of Hector.
The dog looked at Dane and barked.
"Where's Hector was asked of Dane.
The latter looked at Hector and barked.

In the year 1890 there were As. OoO,-

In the year 1890 there were As, O0O,-
600 barrels of petroleum taken from
the earth in the United States, and
somewhat smaller quantity from the
region of the Caspian Sea and other
places. Every year the quantity is
said to increase, and this increase has
been going on for years. The supply
seems ineXhaustible, for when one
we'll gives out another takes it's place.
Whence comes this enormous supply?
Under what conditions and from what
materials was it formed? There has
been theory that there was some
thing in the formation of the coal
beds which created supply. But it
is all theory. and Professor Remsen,
of John Hopkins University, says the
theory that is now most commonly
accepted that petroleum is of animal
origin, and that it bias been formed
from the remains of marine animals
of earlier geological epoch, particu-
larly of fish, corals, mussels, etc. He
holds that the decomposing fatty sub
stances of these animals were acted
upon by the pressure and heat of the
earth in such a way as to form the
crude petroleum which was stored up
for the future use of man.

PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is less than three weeks
distant, and already the world of
thought is giving its attention to
what shall be done at that time, and
what shall be given to this or that
friend. In fact those who have learn
ed to make an intelligent use Of the
beautiful customs that have grown
up about that great festival time,
have had their attention turned in
that direction for some little time
past. ''If one desires to testify his af-
fectiOnate remem brance of friend"
says the Minneapolis Times, she nat
urally takes the opportunity to do so
at the holiday season. He gives be-
cause he wants to give; the only part
the season has in the matter is that
of determining the time of giving.
What shall he give is an important
question, and his sincerity may be
gagued by the way in which he answers
it.
He should be a thoughtful giver,
and therefore it is proper that he
should begin to think about it long
before the occasion. If he can devise
something that bears his own imprint
or connects himself in some way with
his friend, he will make wise choice.
If he cannot do that, the next best
thing is to choose something exactly
suited to the tastes, or desires. or
needs of his friend, for the choice that
he thus makes will testify to his
thoughtfulness and consideration.
Gift-giving at Christmas time, when
it is thus made means of expressing
ones love or kindly feeling, is beau
tiful custom to be encouraged and fol-
lowed. Gift-giving of the baser sort
that is followed merely because it is a
custom-should be deprecated and
discouraged as any other form of hyp-
ocrisy. For it is nothing but hypocri-
sy to send relative or friend a token
of affection, such as gift, as a mere
matter of form and often with regret
that custom requires the sacrifice.
Sometimes the giver is hearty enough
in his desire to show good will and
friendliness, but he is too careless OF
negligent, or too self-indulgent, to
think much about the matter.
Giving of this sort leads to no good
results to those who receive or those
who give, and it is soon looked upon
by many of the former as merely a
formality which is their due. There.
(, fore in following out this time honor
ed custom there should be two re.

Buried in His own Coffin.

The late Earl of Essex was buried in a
coffin of oak designed twelve years ago
by the deceased nobleman himself, who
was prominent member of the Funeral
Reform association. 1t had what is
called "open trellis work" around it and
was filled with choice herbs and ever
greens. There have been many people
of recent years, some of them prominent
in other ways, who have had their COT
fins made to order long before the ap-
proach of death. Maybe the originator
Of the fashion was Lord Nelson, who
used to keep standing upright in the
cabin of the Victory coffin that an adj
mirer had presented to him one birthday
anniversary, and in this coffin his lord
ships remains were at last put to rest

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The last annual message o. Presi-
dent Harrison was presented to con-
gress yesterday, and is in every re-
spect an able document, and is fit
ting close for the able state papers he
has produced during his term of office.
1t is also fitting, in view of the fact
that with the close Of his term of Of
fee, the entire control of the govern
ment will be turned over to the oppo-
SitiOn, that he should give brief re-
view of the progress the country has
made during the thirty years the Re-
publican party has been at the helm.
1t is record that any party might be
proud of, and one which no party in
the history of the world ever match
ed.
He affirms his continued belief in
protective principles and sets to rest
in a most positive manner all rumOrs
that he was convinced our protective
system is an unwise one. He be-
lieveS the time allowed for the session
to be too short to do anything upon
the tariff question, and is of the opin-
ion that the party which the people
have delegated to act upon the mat
ter should attend to it, as according
to the declarations of the two parties
the question of adjustment is not one
of methods but of principle. Those
Democrats who would like to shirk
the responsibility of carrying out their
pledges, and who are trying to make
out that the Republicans should per-
form the work the people delegated
to them, will not relish this view of
the matter, but it is most states
manlike one to take.
He refers to what has been done
during his four years of office, and the
benefits sthat have resulted to the
country from the legislation that has
been enacted and shows that every
thing in connection with the govern
ment is in good shape. We are at
peace with the world and our foreign
relations are in excellent shape. He
favors restriction of immigration, help
for the Nicaragua canal, and some
measure which will maintain che pu-
rity of the ballot box
On the whole it is a most thorough
and comprehensive message, clear
and practical in it's recommendations
and administrative policy, and pa
per which will not only appeal to
the consideration of the statesman,
but also to the masses.

Looking for His Father.

Recently westerner 9 feet inches
tall, with broad shoulders and weighing
over 200 pounds, appeared at Titusville.
He was William Ferguson, of San Fran
cisco, and was in search of his IA
Their. His parents were married near
Salamanca, N. Y, thirty-nine years ago,
and few months before William was
born his father deserted his mother, who
was then a little more than sixteen years
of age. Ferguson never returned, and
his deserted wife eventually went west
with her boy and married again. Within
short time past she told him for the
first time the story of his father. Will
liam not only failed to feel a repugnance
toward the father, but desired to see
him, and on learning subsequently that
he was still living came east to find him.
He was informed that the old man was
leading hermit's life somewhere in the
Allegheny mountains.
In his search he found woman who
said she had been married and deserted
by Ferguson, and was working to sup;
port herself and two children. The
searching son finally got ON the right
track, and securing here man to &c
with him drove to the vicinity of Nc
Graw Center, located in the woods
some miles from Titusville. There, in

with apparently nothing to live on, he
found his long lost father. William

conceal the fact that his first wife was

The shock of surprise caused the old

William Penn,s Treaty Tree.

History records that William Penn
made his treaty with the Indians under
an elm tree on the banks of the Della
ware. The aged tree blew over in a
storm many years ago, but young ones
from it are believed to be in existence.
In the hope of preserving this historic
spot the city Of Philadelphia has re.
Gently taken possession of two acres OF
ground in tho midst of which this tree
formerly grew. and some young speci-
men that has clear and undoubted rec
ord as being the descendant of the orig
inal tree will probably be planted there.
The plot has been taken in accordance
with the recent small park movement.
While preserving historic associations
it will afford breathing spot on the
banks of the river for dense manufac-
turing population, of which this is, in a
measure. the center.-Providence Jour-

The Passing of Parties.

No party remains virtuous more than
twenty years. That also is in the nature
of things Supremacy is demoralizing.
The Democrats now take the govern
ment by order of the popular vote, and
they will keep it so long as they are true
to their trust-no longer. When they
become derelict some other party, no
matter by what name it may be called,
will issue an order of eviction. The
country is forever safe in the hands OF
the people. 1t is never safe for any pro-
longed period in the hands of any party.
