On reaching the first hill at 8:30 : a. in. wa found the enemy had retired , and occupied another hill , a mile and a quarter distant. Aftar a short halt the Berkshire regiment and marines were ordered to clear the hill , the Indian contingent and the Guards supporting. This was done very effectually , tha enemy being driven off the ridge and streaming south towards Tamai , were charged by the rquadrons of Indian lan cers in the bmh. The cavalry then retired toward thnGuaiJs.

Tha battle between the British troop ) nnd Otman Dignn lasted five hours , Tha marines were first sent to the front to drive the Arabs from the liilU west ofllnsbeen. As BOOH as lussiblo they \vero reinforced by batteries of Gardner and Krupp [ guns , and by cavalry. There was a hot en I. gagement for n few hours , during which tha British cavalry charged repeatedly upon the Arabs , while the machine guns were worked with deadly cjfect whenever their firs could bo mule available.

Then the Indian troops charged upon the Arab petition , but were outflanked and uniuspoct'd a body uf Arabs succeeded in getting behind their line.

Otvll service reformers and eonio ropublicau nowcpapara have been thrown into a nervous excitement by tha appointment of ouo Hlgglnn , nf Baltimore , to ba np palntmont clerk of the treasury dopntt mont , upon the recommendation of Sou- utor Gormftn , of Matjland. To my way of thinking tins is carrying the matter to the extreme. It ia assuming n little too much to denounce an appointment bo- cnueo a democratic senator recommended it. Those people are too hypoicrlticil , too Impractical. ( I use the wotd "im prnoticil" internationally. ) Lat us bo honest about this business. Can it bo auppos ° d the republican patty , when It returns to power four yeara hence , will retain domocnts In conQdeutlal positions , such na appointment clerks ? I should hope not. I concede to the democrat ! administration the aamo tightn and prlvilcgoa I would claim for republican administration. Neither can clilm any special credit for sincere dove < tlon to civil service reform. And it it not surprising that thla cause hai ni larger real following than it Iwa , when i is bornu In mind that Carl Schntz and George William Curtis are Its devoted self-conatitntod champions ; the former a kind of political Hoimn , the latter hav ing violated ovety sentiment of honor bj his courao at tbo icpublican convention ii Chicago and eubseqiuntly.

Then Is no question on this pciot ; the larg cattlemen are there , on those same land from which tbo boomers are kept by th army. Why tholatoadmlnfstrationallowe this gro.ia injustice , this invidious dis Unction between the boomers and th cuttle syndicate * ? , I cannot understand unless the dc&iga was to aid the lattc and oppress thu former. If Mr. Cleveland land Is determined that all partioj , cUtl men and sottlois , olmll be treated alike , tlutsecnu to bo his purpose , bo will win the gratitude of the people. It is to the discrod.t of tbo late administration tint cattlemen were allowed to go upon them lind.s , aad at the same tlmo sjttlws were chat out. KENTUCKY'S ONLV Phil. Thompson , an ox-member of the hto liouio , was backed by the strongest political Iniliisnce forommlseioner of in ternal revenue. Senator Dock and Black burn , Speaker Carlisle and the whole delegation from that state pressed Thompson earnestly for that position , but the whisky influence of Kentucky was for him also , and that brat him. Cleveland determined ho would not yield to it , and thereby proved Lis indfpond- enco. Tbo Biyard and Salisbury families seem t3 have had a monopoly of the Del aware sanatorjhip for many years. It is a mooted question whether the legislature of that state will suojaed in finding a Bayard to send to the senate to succeed Thomas F , , now secretary of elite. One of the senators fiom Delaware has been a Bayatd for nearly a hill century. Thomas F. succueded bis father in 1807 , and the latter w&a preceded by his undo , K. W. Bayard. The p'oi-ent senator , EH Halls- bury , from tbn tame slate , anocoedod his brother , Wlllard P , Salisbury , in 1871 , and tbii reminds mo of A LITTLE I.VOIDENT that occurred at the time. Willard P. WAS a man of brilliant talents , of an at- troctivo personal appearance , and WM a very pleasant , genial gentleman , but lie had one unfortunate fail ing. Ho would romotlmojs Indulge a little too freely with fire water , and had done so on thla occation. His tlmo oxpitod at 12 o'clock on the 4th of March , 1871.

Salisbury , whoso time had expired with the old senate , and who was sitting next to the writer , arose and addressed the chair in loud voice , "Mr. President" Tha vlca-preildont looked at him with astonishment , aa did all tbo aonalora. Tbo writer said to him , aotto voce , "Salisbury you re no longer a member , you can't ipeak In the senate Inov. " "Why , " aiid he , "I h ra not do- livered my valedictory yet. " To avoid a scene which ws impending , taking him gently by tbo arm , and aik'ng him to go into the cloak tocin for a few minutes , wo walked out of tbo chamber , nnd ho then left the capital , Gen. Yatoa , tbo war governor of Illinois , wni another brilliant mombcr of the senate vtho had the same lamenta ble faillcg , but would go ofl by blniaelf when ho indulged , to bo soon by no ono who know him , and then unexpectedly make bis appearance In the senate. To ward the eo33 of the session , on ono 03- caslon , the sauato had an all night sitting. Between four and five o'clock In the moriiing , Yates suddenly entered the chamber , not hnvlnt ; boon soon for a weak , soon got the floor and delivered a speech In favor of giving sufl'rigo ( o the colored iacp , and then disappeared , and was not BI en again for the remainder t f the session. THEHE AUfi SEVERAL INSTANCES where sonatonhlps and memberships rf tbo house have run In the eann families. Don Cameron , it Is well known , succeeded his father , Simon Cameron , who had been a member of the sonata three times at different periods. Nathan F.

Un the admission of those torrl t erica aa states , each was elected to the senate from his respective ntato , tnd the father and eon eat aide by tide In that body. The casa of the Waahburno brothers will bo remembered by most. Throe brothers , Israel Wash- bntno of Maine , 1C. B. Waahburno of 111. , audC. 0.
