increase in the practice of making offices rewards of party service. Jackson swept the field, and Van Bureu made the so called spoils system permanent, but t..e plan was not seriously felt until 1853. When Pierce had turned out all too Whigs, there was a feeble protest, and a very feeble law was passed, but it was of so little consequence that nobody no-

porters, there was a louder protest, but in reading the law of 1803 and its later affirmation now I cannot see that it bad any object except to arrange the clerks iu classes. The war and its enormous expansion of government business brought the disease to an acute stage, and a perfect cloud of vampires descended upon Washington. The vulture instinct which guides such fellows lead them to the secretary of war,and while it is not well to rehearse ancient scandals or revive a happily forgotten pain it must be said that the practices of that year gave rise to the very suggestive and

■ somewhat personal phrase of "Simony ” /J - '"•> This caused the once very famous Van \ ^ Wyek investigating committee, and

though the New York congressman suffered politically for his zeal there was it change in the cabinet, and in April, 18(14, Senator Sumner introduced the first bill for a civil service commission. Tim senate was almost unanimously lio* - - tile, and the bill was dropped. In December, 1805, Mr. Jeuekes of Khode Island introduced it bill it. the bouse which was nuiking good progress when the quarrel with Andy Johnson broke out. It was dropped, and soon after the seven

years’ era ol corruption began.

The conditions iu the last year of Johnson’s aUminb trillion and the first two of (irant’s were so bad, what with pardon brokerage, Indian rings, whisky rings, Credit Mobiliera.ul scores of other evils, that Grant, on his own motion, inaugurated a sort of plan of reform, and in 1 s71 a clause was inserted in a general bill confirming his system, which went into effect on the first day of 187 2. George William Curtis was tl.o first commissioner appointed by Grant, but | the storm of abuse and ridicule was too

There certainly is a civil service reform, and as it is now 21 years old and beginning to grow side whiskers tho American p< oplo ought to know more about its parentage, birth, bringing up and present condition, for

looked out at the fog this morning it struck me that if this country is ever ■ afflicted by that bli ssing, a native romaneist, he’ll surely be unable to get in any thrilling literary touches portraying vast deserts of sand, frightful sun eco obes or great crackling arid plains. He won’t harrow our souls by the use of these moss envered, bewhiskered literary props. 1..J moisture of this big land will affect his imagination. October and November tire the worst months of all—that is, if any of the mouths can at all lay claim to this distinetion. It rains from 2ti to 31 days in each of them from September to May and from 18 to 25 days Iron. June to August. An umbrella would be the appropriate national emblem wherewith to adorn the (lag of this wept upon land in the event of its people over taking it into their heads to discard tho stars and

stripes.

Alaska was discovered and explored by a Russian expedition under Behring in 1741. In 1799 tl.o territory was granted to a Russo-American fur company by Emperor Paul VI. Tho United States government bought it from Russia in 1807 for a payment in cash of |7,200,000. Evidently the wily Russians knew enough toco.no in out of the rain. But withal it is a fine, grand looking country—that is, when tho mist lifts itself and gives one a chalice to see it. It is full of mountains, great rivers and lakes. In tl.eii.teriiirtlierearoin.mei.se plains, but it goes without saying that they are neither arid nor snii scorched. And Sitka is a beautiful jila^e, surrounded by seas and islands. Sitka—that is, the town—has about 1,200 inhabitants. Only about 300 of them are white, the rest of them hi tig Indians, together wit!, a few Chinese. These last pursue their favorite toil of washing clothes; also they placer mine for gold in a calm, primiti .e way along the beds of creeks But they don't pan out well tis miners, as they go about things after an imemrgelie and oriental fashion. To say that life goes slow in Sitka is ' to put it in the niililoG way p issihlo. To state the exact truth, there istt t the shad m of a go in anything here at all You feel that you am living on the fringe of nowla re; that you are coming] into contact with nothing and nobody ! Tite only thing that is at all exciting is whet, it stops raining for a few mo- 1 incuts. Then every one commences to wonder, but they wondt r in a sleepy, hazy way. However, they don t have to wonder long And again all is n stful

Texan clerk who to the question, "How far is it from the earth to the planet Mars at their conjunction?” answered that ho had no idea, but he know that Mars was far enough away not to interfere with his work in the custom house. Ho got tho appointment. There was a schoolteacher from Illinois wanting to teach Indians who was given a once famous English book entitled "Rejected Addresses,” with request to write a short criticism ou it He wrote that he could not eeewby they were rejected, as "there are some really good things in them. ” These, however, are but the light humors of a rather serious situation. Two important facts must first be noted— that the percentage of failures in the examination has grown much less of late and that of ludicrous answers still less The clerks in the office of Major Wil liam H. Webster, ehii f examiner, have from time to time laid aside speciue t papers as curiosities, and some of tlieso I | have been allowed to look over, though the rules forbid the publication of tl.o name, number nr residence of the app - cant.

This seems incredible, but t he clin ks have counted the variati :t.s carefully. The most unique perhaps is “krookidli," but there tire many purely phonetic spclliugfl by foreign born ap plica..ts not familiar with the word, who aimed at the sound ns represented in tho letters of their own languages. The esaminatitirs a'so brought- out the fact that in a large section of this country the "uo" is pronounced exactly like "ew” in few, in another section as "oo” in food and in a few places almost exactly like the French "u. ” The largest percentage of errors seems to bo in

Incidentally ho has been a far western hunter, explorer, rancher and sketch writer. Hun John It. Proctor of Kentucky is president of the commission, and Hon. Charles Lyman of Connecticut completes tho list. Civil service simply means all government employment except military and naval, and i n the first of this month the number ll^ , persons so employed by this government was nearly 200,000. Of tlieso almost exactly one-fourth are under civil service ml s.
