IT is but an act of justice for the house to pass the bill authorizing the postmaster. general to reinstate without examination or certifcation by the civil service com. mission any person who was dismissed from the railway mail service between March 15 and May 1. 1889, or who was dismissed from the service after the last named date. upon any order made prior thereto. It is well known that hundreds of competent and efficient democrats were dismissed between the dates named, just after the Harrison administration came into power, in Crder that their places might be filled by republicans before the service passed under civil service rules in accordance with President Cleveland's $ order issued just before the close of his first administration, and such of those democrats who wish to re-enter the service certainly have good claim to the vacan- cies without h .ving to go through the civil service mill.

 William Cullen Bryant's greatest poem, ''Thanatopsis. was written at Cummington when Inc wns but IS years of age It was while wandering through the primcval forests, over the floor of which were scattered the gigantic trunks of fallen trees, moldcring for long years and suggesting an indefinitely remote antiquity, that the poem was composed. When the young poet left Cummington to begin his law studies, he left the poem among his papers. When his as tonished and delighted father found it, he read it to lady who happened to be in the house, and both were moved to tears.

THE house passed on Saturday by vote of l37 to 49-a two thirds vote being re- quired-the Tucker resolution providing for an amendment to the constitution, for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. This is the second time the house has put itself on record on this question. bnt the senate has never even taken it up seriously and there is little probability that it will do so now, although there are a dozen or more sena- tors who have publicly indorsed the idea.
 IT seems that Anarchist Mowbray is at present located in this country, notwith- standing the assurances of the commis- siopsr of immigration at the port of New York to the contrary. Anarchist Mow- bray is not only here. but he announces over his own signature that he proposes to stay here as long as he likes. unless he is compelled b, force to return whence he came. In connection with this declaration he PrOmulgates long screed in defence of anarchism, which. he claims, is tn only way to reform society that is now made up of ''canting christians. lying and canting capitalists. crawling and ick-spittle work men, who are blind to their own interests and who dare not say that their soul is their own" Evidently here is a case call ing for the attention of the authorities who are supposed to keep out immigrants of this stripe.

Hard ON tho Hen,

A gentleman employed bv one OF
the largest firms In the city took q
sudden notion for raising fancy
chickens as means Of increasing his
yearly sum. Hc purchased an incu.
batOr, several hundred eggs and some
full.blOOded Plymouth Rock hens.
The Incubator was filled with choice
egRs and ut the end OF three weeks a
g0odly humber of chickens had
Matched. The care Of the chicks
was left upon MIRA -, who boiled
eggs, and made hash for them to eat.
In the meantime, one Of the Ply.
mouth Rock hens had been given a
sitting OF choice eggs. The time
elapsed for the eggs to hatch and no
chickens made their appearance.
Two or three days passed by aud still
no signs OF any chickens from those
egps At last Mrs. - decided she
would break just one to see II some.
thing could really be the matter.
She found that she had made mis-.
take and got the eggs from the wrong
jar. She had placed fifteen hard
boiled eggs VIII ch she intended to
feed to the little chicks Matched from
the incubator under the old hen 10.
stead OF the choice ones purchased
expressly for the purpose of setting
the hen. The sympathy OF the Hu.
name Society will certainly he aroused
when 1t learns that that hen was
given another sitting OF eggs and
compelled to sit three weeks longer.
