GENERAL NEWS. What Professor Grf crory Thinks of Cleveland's Civil Service Letter. Randall Itecelres an ÜTatlon at PoInU on the Chattanooga Road, and Also at Chattanooga. Bavoral Places In the United States Shaken by an Earthquake) Friday Night. CLEVELÜCD'3 LKTIEH. It Meets With tlie Approval of Professor Gregory, of the Civil Service CouinilaSlon. Washington. Jan. 3. The recent criticisms by some Republican members ol Congress upon Governor Cleveland'a civil lervlco letter were made the topic of an Associated Press Interview with Profetsor J. M. Gregory, of the Civil Service Com mk-slon, to-day. In response to the first Inquiry be said: "Yes, I have read carefully Governor Cleveland's letter to Gcor-e TVlllIan Curtis, and It seems to me the honest expression of a sincere and settled conviction, with no hidden meaning, and no contemplated aiierthougnL The paragraphs relatins to these who have used their places for party purpose?, which to some of his critics appear to be a Icopbole for a wide partisan proscription, are altogether too large and plain for such a construction. They are eo open, frank, and fearless as to foibid II thought of their hiding any minister and maiirnent meaning. It Is true that by a strained interpretation of these rarasraphg a majority of tue Republicans in oSice inlht be brought under condemnation and ousted from their places; and this would probably be true, also, of the thousands of Democrats who have doubtless gained office already under civil service roles, und who, probably, supported by word and vote the candidates of theia party. To charge the President-elect with intending such a protcriptiou is to accuse him of using the meat heart lets irony in t letter addressed to some ol his mctt influential supporters and foremost friends of civil servue reioim, and of his prospective adibiuittration." Has cot th!s letter done much to quiet the apprpfirsions of clerks in the Government einp'oyT" Aiost certainly. But it is most welcomed by the earnest and patriotic friends of this great caure of reform, who look with dread upon any return to tee sroils pysterc. It U natural that persons in office should: Fee in it only a promise of protection, and tht office-seekers, on the other hand, should rtard it as hostile to their hep??, tut its significance rises far above these personal considerations of tte ins and the outa. It is evident that the tatefal Froils system of ofllce-eetting and o Sice-holding can be ribbed out only by persistent eCorta of succefsive administration, and, perhaps, successive parties. It was given to a Republican Administration to begin the work, and President Aithur and bis Cabinet deserve well of their country that they have so nobly met the demands of duty. Without hesitation thev have opened the great departments and large ofUces of the country to the mo-t meritorious without a question a to tarty character. President Arthur's beany support of this re'orm will make his administration ss famous in history as It has made it popular among the best of hh living countrjmen. -But it needs equally hearty and magnanimous efforts and sacrifices of bis successor, and of the Democratic prty in ila torn, to fully extripate the accursed L'ps tree of the patronage system. These ecort Governor Cleveland's letter falrlv SromUes, and in this lUht I accept it, in the foil readtn of us frank aertlcn. If it is carried out in Jta letter and spirit It will plce the name of Hi author huh in the list of the best Presidents of the Berubhc."

Look Like an Alteuipt tu Get Up a Stand ins Army to Overawe the People uu Mere It um or. Chicago, Jan. 0. It is understood that the fact has iceu clearly disclosed that a number of armed companies of Socialists are regularly drilled in this city, and that they number about 7C0 men. They are equipped with breech-loa ling rifles, and drill according to Prussian tactic--1. The entire practice is contrary to the State la.v. In view of this fact, and owing to the recent threats by some Socialist leaders, volunteer guar Is have beca placed in one of tbe armorie of the National Gur.id. In speaking of the matter editorially today, tbe Times says: "It is rather an unpleasant condition of things when it is found ncewsary to guard the city armories aaiust pppiehendeJt attacks from men who are entraged in pecretly drilling, and whosa announced purp3s3 is t5 pillage, arson and murder. It is stated that a small number of militia volunteer, possibly squads of tei, are on tbe watch nightly at the armory of the First Kesimcnt to protect it against these anticipated attack;'. If this be the fact there is a scandalous state of aCAin in existence. It is not the duty of members of the militia, who get no piy themselves, to perform the extra work of sitting up at nights to guard t!ie property of the sute. Jf 6uch work is necessary to be done the Btate cueht to order it to be done, and pay for it. One of the first things whL-h should be done is to have the matter invts'igated, and if it be found that men are drilled iu secret for an ille.al purpose they should be put undorihs s ipirvisloa of the police. Just as if they wjre burglars or assassins planning the death of a citizen." T1UÜ1S AN It LAUUtt. lry Goods Clerks' Association Factories lteauiniug Work. New York, Jan. 3.

To-day the street swarmed with police who feared trouble. The holidays being over, employers have assumed an attitude of defiance toward the claims of their clerks that has aroused a bitter resentment. The Clerks' Association demanded that employers should keep in their employ the hands they had in the middle of November throughout the dull seafon to March without reducing waes.

TUE EGYPTIAN PKOlILEtt. Talk of Another Conference on Egyptian Financial Affairs. London, Jan. 3. The report published la the Paris Gaulols that Bismarck had sent a note to Earl Granville, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, ciargin x ntand with the who'.e responsibility for the Kyptian troubles, and recommend lDg an "entente cordiale" with France as the readiest way of securing the' accord of the European Power3, is probably without foundation. At arty rate, nothing is known at tbe Erillh Foreign ofilee ol any such communication. Germany, so far 6s anything is known iu London, still maintains absolute silence in regard to the vexatious lypt'an problem. The question of summoning a fitsh coDitrence of tne Power for the purpose of discussing Fgypiian matters, is assuming important proportions. Granville has informed Waddington, the French Minister to Ensland, that in case a new coniereLca shall be decided upon, the coherence would convene ia London as socn as the Powers sball have seen fit to reply to the pr posals regarding tic Egyptian tinauce recently submitted them by England This intimation is taken to mean that England would refuse toacceie to the holding cf an Eyptun Conference at Paris or Berlin without a guarantee regt iding the scope of its deliberations.

Dogs as Newspaper Carriers, tUarliord Ti:ue3. A very common thing on the Connecticut railroad lirea is for accommodating trainmen to throw newspapers oIT the trains at or iiC-nr tbe houses of subscribers living on the Jii.e cf the read at a distance from the htiorjs. Frtomntlv they are thrown overboard ata read crossing, perhaps a considerable distance away, but there are quite as many cases where a dexterous whirl from the platform sends the paper directly into the owner's yard, and he is saved a long walk, and in bad weither a disareable one. In nany instances dogs have been trained to watcb for tbe cars and get these pspeis, and country doss it is noticed, take quite an active interest in the affair. After yawning around all day, with nothing more than to bark at an occasional "wagon, Tower must enjoy the approaching rumble of the train, the snatch at tbe paper as it comes whirling toward him, and tbe trot homeward burdened with pews and responsibility. Over on tbe Naugatuck road some one had the curiosity to inquire into this matter of deg messenger?. Mrs. Philip McLean, proprietor of tbe Gate House, on the Thomaston read, has a dog who g)es a mile and a half every morning to meet the train. The pa I er was formerly thrown olT by the brake man cn tbe last car, and there the di hai watched for it. Lately It has been thrawn from the baggage car. The dog anpeared nary at this change, and barked fariously and waited suleily fjr some time before going on his errand. Ue bps Dct yet become reconciled in tbe new way of delivering his paper. Below Derby a dog has acted for eevera! years &3 newsboy fcr a number of families. Tbe Dap?rs are thrown out of the cars under full speed. Whether one or a large bundle of them, the dog is able to lug them off, making good time baclc. Another dog. who has become a veteran as a ne weboy, and can not now, from ace scd rheumatism, get down to the cars, has in some way managed to train a younger dog to do his work. Edward Osborne, residing telow NaugatucV, has a dog who regularly meets the early morning train.

Then he starts on a run and waifs at the eame rpot always, with his nose poked between the panels of a fence, and his keen eyes watching tor the flying paper. A story is told of one dog that was first taught to bring a certain New Haven paper, and when his master changed to another could not be induced to carry the new one. This is unlikely. Another story is that the late Senator William Brown, of Watezbury. fcal a pet d:s that cquIcI readily

DANGER FROM CATARRH.

That enceeCIng'.y disagreeable and very prevalent disease, catarrh, is caused by scrofulous taint la the blood. Hood's BarspariHa, by its powerful purifying and vitalizing action upoa the blood, Fpccdily removes the cause, and thus effects a radical and permanent cure of catarrh. Those who sufTer from Its varied symptoms uncomfortable flow from the nose, offen ive breath, ringing and bursting noises in the ears, swelling of the soft parts of tho throat, nervoui prostration, etc ihould take Hood's Sarsparilla and be cured. Tho Bost Hetlicino. "I have suffered with catarrh in . my head for years, and paid out hundreds of dollars for medicines, but have heretofore received only temporary relief. I bean to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and now my catarrh is nearly cuied, tho weakness of my body is alleone, my arpetite is good in fact, I feel like another person.

Irrcgu'arity of the bowels is remediable without I their aid. and they enfeeble those organs. Hosstetter's Stomach Bitters are not only a laxative, tut a tonic. No subsequent medication Is needed, as In the case of powerful cathartics, to repitr the violence of their efftcts. Blue pill and calomel are never safe in the long run; and there are other medicines taken to regulate the liver and bowels which are hurtf al to both.
