! Civil service reform is moving on sure
~. II would be expedited Ii those who
believe in it would live up to it. AS we
have said before, one trouble Ia that peo-
pie are good natured, and when their
friends want places under a new admin
istration-that is, places not vacant and
only to be made vacant by the demands
of the office seekers-these good natured
people allow themselves TO become part
of the pressure for the places by their
recommendations and solicitations. It
must sometimes look to the appointing
powers as If the whole country rose up
and demanded not civil service reform,
but positions in the civil service.
There is such thing as rushing a re-
form ahead Of public opinion and thus
injuring the reform, and there are many
positions which are political in the true
sense and should be taken possession of
by the party of the majority after every
election. But Ii is the duty Of every citi-
zen to do his share In eliminating not
only the spoils system, but the spoils
idea, from politics; to press upon the au-
thorities the necessity of continually ex-
tending the merit system, and Of acting
according to its spirit outside Of the
classified service. For it is no exaggera-
ton to say that the evils of hespoils gys-
tenn are illustrated in every sinister ca
reer in the history Of modern American
politics; every disgraceful success" Is
to be laid at its doors; every corrupt
ring has here it's origin. It is the menace
and enemy Of honest administration in
every community in the country; it de-
grades our legislatures, state and ma
tional, and the cause Of good govern
1nent triumphs only when this pernicious
system is thwarted or overcome.--Cen-
fury.

A Tree started In HIS stomach.

A strange case is puzzling local med

nent Of the fraternity from Memphis and
Nashville. John Henry Leake, stall
wart negro living on the plantation of
r. l.. Strong, week or two since ate a
lemon and swallowed one Of the seeds,
which it seems lodged in his stomach
and attracting to 1t q certain proportion
of the food subsequently eaten by him
was soon surrounded by clot or mass
of matter which gradually grew larger.
After short time Leake began to suffer
acute pains in the region Of his stomach
and applied to physician, who dag
nosed his trouble rs indigestion and pro-
ceeded to treat him for it.
But the pains increased, and it soon be-
came q matter of impossibility for the
sufferer to retain any food except such
as was administered in q liquid form,
and the doctor began to suspect that the
cause of the trouble lay beyond the ordi-
nary phases of indigestion and declared
an operation necessary. 1t was with
difficulty that Leake was prevailed on to
submit to this, but he finally consented.
The surgeons thoroughly explored the
abdomen and intestfnes, but without
finding any disturbing object, though 1T
was observed that tho stomach was dis

Leake suffered the greatest agony, with
repeated efforts to vomit, which con
tinued until death ensued. A post
norton examination revealed the fact
that the seed had sprouted from the mass
surrounding it, and putting out shoots
had actually attacked the walls of the
stomach as creeping plant does wall,

DIR. M. A. Veeder of Lyons, N. Y, who
has devoted much time and attention to
the weather and kindred phenomena,
and whose reputation as meteorologist
is international, has advanced theory
to account for the general disagreeable-
ness of the present spring DIR. Veeder
says that for the present the climate Of
this portion of the globe has undergone
a radical metamorphosis, not unlike that
which might have resulted from the To-
cality being suddenly placed upon
high mountain. We are, in short. suf-
fering from an acute case of derange-
ment of the isothermal strata, which
may last the entire year.
The lines of barometrical pressure are
variable. They have become deranged,
80 that the state of New York is now in
cluded in belt of reduced density or
comparative rarefed air. The result is
cold nights and mornings, cold winds
and hot sunshine. We are in mountain
climate. DIR. Veeder insists that there
is no telling when there will be a change
for the better of the isothermal strata,
but says it is his belief, which is con-
nrmed by observations or the sun Spots,
that it will last the entire year.
| Colored People In tine north.
Within few years there has been q
large increase of the colored population
Of Philadelphia, and numbers of colored
men and women arrive there every week
from the south, as we learn by report
in The Ledger Here in New York also
there is rapid and steady growth of the
colored element, and well informed cit
/ izen of color makes the statement that
more than 10000 people of the African
race have arrived here from the southern
states since this time last year.
| Reports of similar kind have come
to us from Chicago and from very many
of the other northern cities. We must
believe that over 100000 of the colored
natives of the old slave states have left
there for the north within year. Near
ly all Of them seem to be able to earn by
hard labor the means of livelihood in
their new homes. According to Mr.
Frederick Douglass they do not furnish
