CIVIL SERVICE FRAUD.

It is useless for me to make any remarks
about the way the Civil Service has been
abused by President Cleveland. Every school
child knows that vast amount of fraud
was practiced under it. It was made fraud,
like everything else connected with the Ad-
ministration--Wm. w. Whitten, 18th Ohio,
Yellow Bud, o.
I bitterly denounce President Cleveland's
policy for tying, as it were, the hands Of the
incoming Administration by putting the
Pension Examining Surgeons under Civil
Service. 1t appears to me many Of these
men delight to incubate schemes seemingly,
to. do injustice to those they call friends, but
treat them as enemies, coffee-coolers, etc.
Bnt time sets all things right, and under
the protective arm of Comrade Mckinley
we expect to find balm in Gilead and a

blacklist the veterans who dedicated this

"Adoniram, listen, said pale little woman
to her husband, as she passed cup Of tea to
him "you have promised me over and over
again that you would find a country house

raise the children in this hot, stuffy court.
Why don't you look it up? Let's go out

The listener laid back in his chair he
thoughtfally scratched the tablecloth with
one thumbnail, while he slowly stirred the
tea with his other hand. A chorus OF Do
oh do it, papa!" rose from the concert OF
six children, who ranged all the way down
from a pert girl of Is to the baby. Adoniram
then said he would then, in babel OF sug-
gestion and anticipation, he finished his
supper, and went down town for real estate

Adoniram Jones was the bookkeeper for
Messrs. Blossom & Blossom, grocers, both
wholesale and limited. He had rounded
nearly 90 consecutive years of patient, honest
service to the firm; had not missed day In
all this time of dutiful attendance and ex-
ecution of his work in the office, and had
never received any leave Of absence, other
than his regular annual vacation in :" the dull
time" of the year, to wit, August-Just two
weeks.
Adoniram was a tall, spare man; loose
iointed and round shouldered naturally; /;
his red hair and whiskers, plain, homely face
and clean shaven, broad upper lip were as
regular in their showing in the Sunday
school Bible class as the appearance OF that
day itself. In the Church he did precisely

did exactly what all good and thorough
bookkeepers do. He moved with its persist

so had given no signs'of wearing ont. He
was born in the city 56Jyears ago, and, save
little ijaunts at long intervals, he had never
been out of it. He married Mrs. Jones in
the usual way, frsfmseting her in the Bible
class of his Sunday-school, and then fairly
growing up with her ard into matrimony.
When four little Joneses had been
duly born, christefled and doctored as most
children are, Mrs. Jones began to talk of
the difficulty of raisipg family in town
she wanted to take7the babies out into green
pastures and clearastreans; she wanted real
country milk and Mtter, and 80 she con-
tinually voiced her wishes. Adoniram list
ened, as usual, quietly, never disputed the
sense Of her sermons, but only feared the
shock Of removal and doubted the ways and
means. However, the appearance of two
more scions broke up his resolution of delay.
Mrs. Jones triumphed. and Adoniram prom
ised her with sigh that he would get into
the country just as soon as suitable house
and surroundings could be secured within
the means at his command.
Accordingly Adoniram bethought himself
of the advantage which well-worded ad-
vertisement might be to himself in the
way of putting him into touch with just
what he wanted. He stepped into the Star
office and prepared q house wanted notice,
and then went to the Office of an old friend

Great was the good-natured surprise oi

them for the half holiday and told Of hii

SAPTURE OF ATLANTA-AUGUsT AND SEP

The month of August opened hot and
sultry, but our position before Atlanta
was healthy, with ample supply of wood,

become habituated to the slow and steady
progress of the siege; the skirmish-lines
were held close up to the enemy, were
covered by rife-trenches or logs, and
kept up a continuous clatter of musketry.
The main lines were held farther back,
adapted to the shape of the ground, with
mnske;s loaded and stacked for instant
use. The field-batteries were in select
positions, covered by handsome parapets
and occasional shots from them gave life
and animation to the scene. The mer
