=aThe heaviest loads sat liGhtln

1.-THE heaviest loads sat lightly upon
him." says General 0. o. Howard of
General Benjamin Butler. The popu-
lar estimate of Butler is that he was a
greater lawyer than military man, but
General Howard, writing in the New
York World, contradicts this judgment,
declaring that few men who ever COM
manded armies have excelled him in
administrative conception and execu-
tion. 1t was his unhappy combative
disposition that involved him in troubles
with prominent individuals constantly
during his military career, and this
prevented him from being appreciated
at his full power. General Howard
says: Perhaps when all else connected
with his life fades out the phrase "cOn-
traband of war" will be remembered
as his invention In the conception
which gave rise to this phrase certainly
the genius of the lawyer shines out
transcendent. In the first days of the
war Union generals were forbidden to
free slaves or to give them refuge as
runaways. General Butler took the
slave at the south's own estimate. He
is chattel, he reasoned, property like
any other live stock. The negro is ca
pable of being used by the enemy to
aid him in carrying on the war. There
fore he is as much contraband as arms
or ammunition. Therefore I seize him
and keep him by the rules of war" This
was in 1861. Thereafter every runaway
slave in Buffers camps found refuge.

The Union Meetings.

At the meeting Wednesday evening
Rev. w. p. Stoddard related the follow,
ing anecdote:
DR.. George c. Lorimer was at one
time preaching in Boston when he said
''The bird with a broken wing will
never soar so high again" Hezekiah
Butterworth was in the audience; the
words fingered in his mind, and he
wrote the following poem:
THE BIRD WITH BROKEN WING
| 81 walked thru the woodland meadows
Where sweet the thrushes sing,
And found on bed of MOSES
A bird with broken wing.
healed its wound, and each morning
It sang its old sweet strain;
But the bird with broken pinion ~ -
Never scared as high again.
81 found a young life broken
BY sins seductive art,
And, touched with Christ-lik pity,
I took him to my heart.
He lived with noble purpose,
And struggled not in vain;
But the life that sin had stricken
Never scared as high again.
But the bird with a broken pinion
Kept another from the snare,
And the life that sin had stricken
Raised another from despair.
Each loss has its compensation,
There is healing for every pain;
But the bird with broken pinion
Never scars as high again"
Some time afterward DIR. LOrimer,
preaching in Chicago, said: "There may
be defaulter in this house tonight, ?
and it happened that his uplifted fin
ger pointed directly at man who was
defaulter. Conviction was carried to
his heart, and the criminal resolved
that he would confess bis misdoings.
But before he could fulfill this resolu,
tion he was arrested and subsequently
sentenced to the state prison at Joliet.
Here the poem quoted above fell into
his hands, and was the means of lead
ing him to give his heart to Christ.
That his conversion was genuine is
evident from the fact that he became
an eminent worker for the Master.
The last of the series of union meet
ings will be held tonight at the First
NJ. L. church. The entire services have
been of great value in drawing Chris
tians Of all denominations together in
hearty sympathy and earnest work.
Spiritual life has been quiekened, and
renewed consecrationis manifest. Each
church viii now hold revival services
by itself il, in the Judgment of its pas
tor this should be deemed best. 1t Is
understood that one church at least,
the First Methodist, will enter upon q
series OF protracted meetings, begin
ming next week,

THE NEW POSTAL RULE.
HOsO 1t affects the Clerks in thu
Free DeIige1su Offices.

Hfe6 D6ttC61'U OUbc6S.
In order to answer the numerous in
quiries addressed to the commission re
specting the effect of the action of the
President, Jan. 5, extending the civil
service rules to free delivery, the fol
lowing circular has been sent to the
postmasters of the country:
''The classification of the postal ser
vice made by the postmaster general
under act of Jan. Is, 1883, is hereby
extended to all free delivery postoffices
The civil service commission shall pro.
vide examinations to test the fitness OF
persons to fill vacancies in all free deliv.
cry offices" Prior to this action the
civil service rules applied 'only to those
postoffices which had as many as fifty
employees and but fifty-three offices in
the United States were thus classified
Now the service extends to all employees
below the postmaster, including postal
clerks, money order clerks, carriers and
all others except special delivery mes
sengers. Of the 548 offices thus added
to the classified service, sixty-seven
have twenty-five or more employees, but
less than fifty. The commission will
at once proceed with the organization
of boards of examiners, the holding of
examinations, and the preparation Of
eligible registers. Some considerable
time will necessarily elapse before the
rules will be in active operation in all
of the offices.
The whole number of persons added
the classified service by this action is
1910 and these persons are entitled to
all the rights and privileges that they
would be entitled to had they been ap-
pointed after examination under the act.
They are not required to pass the exam
inatiOn but retain their places precisely
as though they had come into the SER
vice upon examination. Some of the
recent promotions of the railroad postal
clerks who enter this city went to the
democratic candidates, who were able
to pass better examinations than their
republican opponents.

MORE PAY The Oskaloosa mail
carriers and all others are much inter
ested in the proposed bill in congress
regarding carriers salaries. The act of
January, 1887, and the existing law,pro-
vides for three classes of carriers in
cities of more than 1900 population,
with salaries respectively of 81 600 $500
and 5000, and for two classes of carriers
in cities less than 5000 population,
with salaries respectively of 1850 and
$500. The bill which the committee
recommends provides that June /, 1893,
the pay of carriers in all cities where
free delivery has been or may be estab-
lished, shall be, for the first year, 5000,
for the second year, $500, for the third
year 81 900 and for the fourth year and
thereafter, $1,000. The carriers claim
that 81, 200 a year Is not too large q
salary for carrier who has been four
years In the service and who has dem
onstrated his fidelity and capacity and
at the same time acquired special skill
IN the public service. 1t is hard work,
much harder work than that for which
in some other branches Of the public
service better salaries are paid. II re-
Qnires fair ability at the start. The
carrier Is exposed TO all seventies OF the
weather, which imperils his health. The
outfit alone, for which the carrier Is
obliged to pay out Of his own pocket,
costs nbout ssb year.

4 Pertinent OmerlI.

Mr.. Editor 1t was announced last
Thursday evening that the series of un-
ion meetings now in progress here will
close with the week. This is to be re-
GREETED, even from the standpoint of one
who has no connection with any of the
churches here. The indications are very
favorable for gracious revival here if
those who are looked to as leaders, those
who have been sent of God into this
field to save the people, would only put
forth real and united exertion to move
the unsaved. Do they fiatter themselves
that they have done so? What must
the Lord think of Christians, laymen
and ministers of the gospel who can
keep their seats while one of their num-
Der is inviting the people to come to
Christ, and who feelthat they have done
their duty, when after such an appeal
nobody moves and the benediction is
pronounced and the multitude sent
away unfed, hungry and starving for
the bread of life?
Why,then, did they not come to Christ
when they were formally and politely
invited? Because no man helped them.
Peter said to the impotent man: "In the
name of Jesus of Nazareth rise up and
walk" But the man did not rise until
Peter took him by the hand and helped
him to rise. If we were asking the peO-
pie for money with which to build a
great church you may depend upon it
we would not have quietly witnessed
the utter failure OF our union effort p.
We would have gone down those aisles
and have made a strong personal appeal
| for aid.
One dozen souls might have been saved
last evening if the strong Christian
workers present had been in earnest,
and if they had had the courage to go
to sinners and make personal matter
of it. Sinners expect and desire us to
do so, and the walls of the temple are
not built up simply because we fail to
do so. If just two really cOnsecrated
men who have the moral courage would
down among the people and beseech
them in Christ's stead to be reconciled
to God, there is no telling what God
might do for this community. 1t is
really sad to see these meetings close
with nothing done.
Don't lay the failure at the door of the
sinner-not at the door of the Lord-but
let it be laid upon those whose duty it
was to make real strong and united
effort, and who have not done it, al
there are many people in these crowded
| audiences who hear the call, but they
are weak and they need helping hand
to rise, and no man has extended lov-
ing, helping hand of sympathy to them
/ I would not speak unkindly, but think
| I never saw an example of such lacl
of real moral courage. is it possible
that many and strong as we are, we arr
afraid to go to the convicted sinner il
the pew and take him by the hand ant
say, 'Come with us and we win do yol
good" **
