me to be entirely inconsistent with the
character of this reform as we'll as
with it's bsst enforcement, to oblige the

upon clerks detailed from other depart

condition In any department that clerks
hired to do work there can be spared TO
habitually work at another place, and 1t
does not accord with sensible view OF
civil service reform, that persons should
be employed on the theory that their labor
is necessary in one depart

their services are devoted 10 entirely
different work IN another department.

A Young Tornado,

YoRKvILLE, S. G., Dec. 3.-What
might be called a small tornado passsd
over this town this afternoon about 4
o'clock. The wind, coming from the
south arose very suddenly and lasted
cnly few minutes, but In that time
did considerable damage. Portions of
the roof of the Carolina Buggy factory
the graded school building, and the
warehouse of G. II. O'Leary were blown
off. The buggy factory and Mr.. OLea-
ry suffered much damage to their tools
and stock from the rain which fol-
lowed. Already forces are at work re-
pairing the roofs. The Episcopal and
Baptist churches sustained some dam
ages from portions of the spire and
chimney being blown down. Some ne,
gro cabins have been overturned and
others blown from their foundations.
A reat many fences and trees are
down. No reports have been received
from the country. The damage is put
at $4,000, and of this the Carolina
Buggy Company probably sustained
$1,000, and that to Mr.. OLeary's stock
of furniture about the same amount.
The Spoke and Handle factory Was un-
rOofed,-State.

The committee on education of ne.
gro preachers have not attempted to
prosecute their work during the past
year, because of insuperable obstacles
in the way of its successful prosecution.
1t has, however, not lost faith in the
work, but suggests that the home mis-.
sion board be invited to work among
the negroes in South Carolina in that
way which shall seem best to it.
The report of the central committee
of the woman mission societies OF the
State showed that work to be in a most
healthy condition. During the past year
these societies have raised for foreign
missions s6,694.20; home missions $2,'
$50; Slate missions, S546.47 a total, ln'
cludlny incident expenses OF S9,746.87:
They have 273 societies, an increase OF
forty.three during the year; forty'seyen

The Boston Herald doesn't anticipate
any ''factious opposition at the special
session of Congress. Factious opposition
is simply the opposition of a faction, and
certainly the Herald does not think that
the silver faction who have been strong
enough in several recent Congresses to
get nearly all they wanted are going to
make no opposition to the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law. The signs
are abundant that they intend to make
the most vigorous kind of opposition.
They undoubtedly believe that the over
turn of silver will be just as disastrous
to the country and believe it just as firm
ly as do the advocates Of repeal that such
policy will be for its advantage Their
appeals to patriotism will be just as
fervid as those of their opponents and
they will take advantage of all the liberty
which the rules allow them to place OBJ
stacles in the way of repeal. If anybody
expects that the silver men are going to
be content with simple protest. be
