The Boston Post reviews the republicans in congress scrambling for civil service reform, and remarks: When men who possess world-wide notoriety for extravagance and corruption undertake to lead off in “economy and reform," the incredulous Duhlic, haring learned something by long and costly experience begins to Inquire what new seheme for plunder Is being ineubated. At a caucus of the Democratic members of the Legislature held Tuesday night last, Miss Lizzie Callis, ot Martinsville, was made the nominee for Librarian; Hon George Hftijorj of Benton County, Henry Moriing; of Fort Wayne, and Hon.

Every woman who has been oblN ged to spend half a day several times during the winter cleaning the mica in the coal stove, usually by taking them out and washing them In soap suds, will rejoice to know teat there is a much easier way to clean them, and that there is xo need to take them out or to let the fire Durn very low in order to do It tuccesfully. Take a little vinegar and water and wash the mica carefully with a soft cloth; the aeid removes all stains and if a little sare is taken to thor oughly clean the corners and wipe them dry, the mica will look as good as new. If the stove Is very hot tie the cloth to the stick, and so esoape the danger of burning yeur hand.— Ex. Under the caption of “Plain Truth about the Dorsey letters,” the Cincinnati Gazette, (republican) recites the inner history of the money feature of the Garfleld-Hanoock campaign, as the same was and is known to republicans. There it no reason to distrust the substantial accuracy of the Gazette’s statement, and while it is not intended to be, it la the most fearful indictment of the leaders of the republican party that has yet appeared la print According to this statement, Dorsey was high in th* confidence of the leaders of both wings of the republican party—Sulwar ts and half-breed alike had the utmost faith in his ability to man ace the. campaign successfully. As s matter of fact, there are brobably a million of men in Amerioa as capable politicians as the ohiefol the starroute robbers. He o red his eminence entirely te the ciroumstan oes that he and his co-conspirators had made millions off of the people of the country, through the assistance of officials high in authority, and was willing to pay hardsomeiy in order to esoape punishment for his crimes. The depredations of the star-route robbers, the manner in which they had been and were conducting their robberies, and the parties in interest, were as well kpowa in the Garfield-Han cook campaign, and prior to that timo, as they are row. It appears everywhere, this record of open, glaring, stupendous robbery, that Grant and Garfield, Blaine and Conkliug, Arthur, Sherman and Robertson, were all fully informed of the star-route ras calities, and were depending upon the sagacious Mr. JDorsey to furnish sufficient “soap”—as Mr. Arthur facetiously termed money—to purchase the doubtful states of Indiana ntnifsfew York. But it no where appears Hhat el ther.tke stalwart or halfbreed leaders opposed this wholesale use p£. money in corrupting the rotters?. Of the country. All occupied the same low, degraded level, and seems to think that the crimes in which they" were engaged legitimatf politics. Taken as a whole, the star-route business, interwoven as it is with national politics and the public and private acts with men who have been, and . are now, eminent la governmental affairs, is one ot the most shameful chapters in the history oi the country. If the American people are not dead to ait senae ot what is decent and proper in men in t übiio life, one of the results of the star* ioutoTrlals willjbe the complete {retirement of a large number of emimu*f repubitcan statesmen to the si iac|eß of private life.

U TT~F 1 “ T&e Monticello Herald| says that “The verdict of the loyal masses is, that Porter disobeyed orders end deserved the penalty imposed." Not a bit of it, Billy. That is the verdict of the loyal (?) ra—asses that tried him, of whom John'a. Logan was one. An exchange very fittingly says: The Republican organs ure urging the Greenbackers te rally around the Republican standard, to find safety under Its folds, and come in out of ■he wet, so to speak. This is about as good a joke ns tb*fstory of the sick man, who was advised to go to a doctor for advice. The doctoi happened to be a very thin, spare man, to when the invalid saw him he'reiuecd to take any advice from him emaiking: “Whyyou kok to be a damn sight worse off than lam.”

Prom the Green B&y Gazette. A remarkable civilized ludian woman died the other day at the One'* Ida reservation, west of Green Bay. She was known as Aunt Polly Dox--cater, and when young, was qui'e well educated an c brought up by a Quaker near Philadelphia. In her roung days she was employed in several families of note in those days, and was nurse of Mrs. George B. McClellan when that lady was a baby, The maiden name of the deceased was Polly My top. Her parents beloagod(to the Delaware nation, and resided about thirty-five miles from Philadelphia. She was born at Cape May, New Jersey. Mareh 17, 1785. From her own account of the circumstances of her birth <t appears that her parents had gone with an excursion of members of their nation to Cape May for the purpose of gathering the eggs of seagulls. While there the subject of this notice was born. While quite young she was bound to Bobert Holiingshead, a Quaker, remaining with him until the vear, 1802.
