CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM. I of lmPresident Cleveland*! brief addreaa at the on railing of the Garfield statue in Washington fitly and forcibly enforqgl the “sad and distressing lesson" of his predeeeeSBr’s death. “While.*' he said, “American citisenship stands aghast and affrighted that murder and assassination should lurk in the midst of a free people and strike down the head of their Government, a fearless he arch and the discovery of the origin and hiding-place of 'these hateful and unnatural things should be loll owed by a solemn resolve to purge forever from our political methods and from the operation of our Government the per* ■ versions and misconceptions which gave birth to passionate and bloody thoughts. U from this hour.” the President concluded, “our admiration for the bravery and nobility of American manhood and our faith in the possibilities and opportunities of American citisenship be renewed; if our appre- " ciation of the blessing of a restored Union and love for our Government be strengthened, and if our watchfulness £inst the dangers of a mad chase r partisan spoils be quickened, the dedication of this statne to the people of the United States will not be in vain.” . » The occasion suggests a contrast between the situation as regards the civil service in 1881 and that in 1887. In his second annual message to Congress. December 6. 1870, President Gr omraondod “a reform in the ^fvil i vice of the country’^which) should “govern not the teuqre/but the man- ' ner of making all appointments." In

March, 1071, an amendment was tacked on to an appropriation bill in the Senate authorizing the President to prescribe “such rules and regain- * tlons for the admission of persons into the civil service of the United States as will best promote the efficiency thereof, and ascertain the fitness of each candidate in respect to age. health, character.knowledge and ability for the branch of the service into which he seeks to enter;” and also authorising him to employ suitable persona to conduct these inquiries. A Civil-Ser-vice Commission was appointed, aiuk rulea were established for the filling^ of vacancies by Competitive examinations, which were put in force during the summer of 1872. The new system speedily demonstrated its advantages over the old, and in his annual message, December 1, 1873, President Grant urged its extension, pointing out that “to have any rules effective, they must have the acquiescence of Congress as well as of the Executive.” .The Forty-third Congress was Republican in each brand i. more than tw o to one. but the party managers had no sympathy with the reform, and riiey proceeded to starve it to death. Mr. Blaine, an Speaker, appointed a committee on Civil-.Serviie reform, of which that unblushing spoilsman, <General Butler, was the leading spirit, i.nd tinder th j lead of Ilia,re and Butler, a House .Republican, by IM to W, refused to make any appropriation, far the supfxirt of 'die Corr.mission in 1.87$. ar.d thr system. soon after ex tirtd off I iiianitinn.

HONEST AND PATNtOTIOL When a man ia appointed to offlo* or receives any special honors at the hand* of the Preaidant or people, It la the cos tom of the time to apeak of hla political standing, hia record as to party and principles, tad frequently the phrase “an old-fashioned Democrat" is applied to him by men not of hia own party. There ia something wholesome In this; a compliment to the man’s staying and sterling qualities. Hon. Edward F. Brigham, the recently-appointed! Chief Justice of the District of Columbia, is thus mentioned; ex-Senator Thurman also, and others, whom the people know and respect. “An old-fashioned Democrat” ia sure to be an upright oitisen. He believes in something and sticks to it; he studies men, analyses measures, weighs opinions and puts every question to the tost If he is in business he meets his obligations like a man, deals on the square, says “no" when he means “no,” and is Just as ready to help an opponent in distress as one of his own party associates. With him right is right, and fair play is fair play; to do a mean or dishonorable action is foreign to his nature; as a rule, he loves well and hates well, and the man who betrays his party, or is guilty of decep. tion or fraud, is in his eyes a criminal. The old-fashioned Democrat is more , progressive than the conservative Re

publican; he may oppose cuttingdovrn a tree, because ft symbolises his own life in some respects, but let him become convinced that the tree endangers human life, or stands in the way of a needed improvement for the general good, and he will, if it need be, fell it with his own bands. He is opposed to quarreling on principle, bnt fights when justice demauds it. with a persistency unknown to his meeker brethren. j If you are fortunate enough to know him intimately you will find him in social life the soul of honor, the truest of friends and the most devoted husband and father. His absolute truthfulness and downright earneatness in sometimes mistaken for obstinacy, but how- ' ever brusque he may be, he is a man jgo trust in an emergency, a fnend to felly upon in trouble, a ciiuten to be roofed and a patriot at heart, whether he stands in the legislative halls of the nation, hvears the judicial ermine, or mends shoes in some quiet alley, i WhereVer you find him you will find a man of solid worth, whose opinion j on any subject is valuable, and whose daily life is a constant reproach to the rascals who live by fraud. Take him for all in all, the Old-fashioned Democrat its a man to be proud of, and our old uity i t Boston is most fortunate in having unity such within her borders. --Bolton Cliff.

TRKAOHEKOUS HIPPOS. In With th« A horrible accident occurred recently at the Part* Zoological Gardens. A hippopoUmut wool nod ond attacked its keeper, who was cleaning its cage. Help cam* too late. The man was dead when they final!/ dragged him away from the furious animal. The Jt»U Oaum sent one of Its reporters to Ur. Bartlett, superintendent of the London Zoo, who said: “We I have never had any accidents with onr own hippos here, though we hare had One •r two narrow escapes. Obaoh, tha first hippopotamus that came to the gardens, was presented by the Viceroy of Egypt in 1861. He died in 1878. Per some reason or ether the brute got attached So me. 1 be lieve it was because 1 talked tc him whenever 1 saw him. We' were the greatest of friends, and he -eras so docile that I used to ride os hie hack. In IBS) t was engaged Id mounting a specimen hippo for the Crystal Palate and went into Obach’s den to make some measurements Thinking no evil, 1 was busy with my tape, when it suddenly slipped, and the brute turned round on me with a furious snort, gnashing his jaws fiercely. I rushed for my life and escaped through the rails, the keeper, who Was with me, doing the seme. It was a very near thing, indeed, for both of ns “At present we h ire only one hippope tom u. here—the daughter of Obaoh—who was born jn 1871 Well, one day a stray dog strolled casually into the gardens and steppe i before the rails of tbs hippo's outside inclosure. The day was warm, tha pool was tempting, so the dog wriggled through the rails and sprang into the

water to tits doom, The Hippo roao to too surface and, roaring, took the dog into her groat jaws, crunching him tip to Mu. “The other case that I remember,” continued Mr. Bartlett, “is that of a keeper who c ime homo to the gardens very 1st* one ntifliag August night- Bo was slight It tipsy and very hot, so ho stripped off his clothes and plunged Into the pool. Unfortunately, the hippo was also in the pool, doting away la the dark solitudes. The keeper, of course, thought that he was locked up in hts cage- He did not discover Ms misUke till his hands came ia contact with the back of the hugs amphibjan. The hippo swam after the man, but was not quick enough. The keeper Just escaped, and when he wanted a bath afterward he took it elsewhere. Had the brute get at him, only his mangled re n-rnios,would hare been found to tell the talc. When our baby hippo wat born the mother was terribly ssvarc.

The ear was not attractive, and so 1 read the letter. After this had been accomplished, s vigorous search was agalja made la the bag for what proved to be a atylographic pen.

Finally, as the car approached West street, the letter came te an end; It waa folded; another hunt for an envelope; then a stamp, applied in the legitimate fsshiem; the envelope lisp stuck down; the superscription inscribed, and with a nod to the librarian—beg pardon, conductor—out hops the scribe and disappears in the crowd of Winter street!
