The "Washington Chronicle int
mates that tho present system of
sham civil service reform, will re
ceive a death blow when tho House
comes to vote on the appropriation
required to carry it through. We
apprehend the country will not go
Into mourning if this prediction
shall be verified. Civil service
reform is very desirable, pro
viding it could be impartially
carried out upon all classes of em
ployees in tho public service. Our
observations have convinced us that
the present mode of its enforcement
has converted it into an engine of
oppression, and tyranical red tape,
to torture treasury clerks, mail
agents, and others, who do not hap
pen to be the special pets, or pliant
tools of incompetent or corrupt superiors.
The testimony in the Johnston
Baumer Treasury contest is, as
everybody "will rejoice to know,
finally closed. The manuscript of
the Notaries would have been yes

had not the discovery of Mayor
Chase left the Council in a bondless
condition. That body cannot do
business until Tuesday evening, its
next regular meeting. Herald.
Is it not about time for the
Bourbon Organ to cease this spnse
less twaddle about the "bonded"
City Council ? Such claptrap may
serve tho purpose of covering the
tracks of political demagogues, but
everybody conversant with our City
Charter knows that Conncilmen are
not required to give bonds. The
only bonded member of that body
is the President, and his bonds are
merely to cover the possibilities of
his acting Mayor pro tern. Tho
editor of tho Herald had better
purchase a copy of the City Charter

No more land-grabs. The House
Committee on public lands has
decided to report adversely upon all
the bills before them granting lands
to railroads. The principal objec
tion to further land subsidies is the
present method of speculation in
railroad lands. If the railroad com
panies could be restriced in the dis
position of their lands to fair prices
and bona-fide settlers, who would
take not over 1G0 acres of land, and
who would settle upon and improve
it, then there would be more disposi
tion on the part of Congress to
place the Ian din their keoplng by
liberal land grants. But the present
method is known to be inimical to
tho interests of settlers and the
Government,

The bloody and murderous phase
of the Gubernatorial War in Ar
kansas would seem to call for some
thing more than mere passive neu
trality on the part of the Federal
Government. As long as the bellig
erent claimants were contentod
with mere bluster it was a matter
of supreme indifference who was in
or out of the Stato Capitol. Now
that the armed forces acting under
Baxter and Brooks have inaugura
ted bloody hostilities the time for
active intervention seems to us has
arrived. It is evident that Baxter
is unwilling to abide by the de
cision of the State courts and
Brooks does not propose to recog
nize the authority of the Legisla
ture. Both show a dctcrmation to
fight it out on that line if it takes all
summer. It would be barbarous to
afflict the people of Arkansas "with
interninable butcheries and outlaw
ry, when it is within the power of
the President to terminate the strug
gle by recognizing one or the other
of the claimants as the rightful
Governor. Wo apprehend such ac
tion cannot long be deferred.
The telegraph informs us that
"Colonel Thomas A. Scott of the
Pennsj'lvania Central railroad, Van

McCullough of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and President Wat

ference on the subject of passen

west and east, and how to do away
with the present competition for
business."
How tenderly those Tour Ameri

dear subjects, the American people,
to be sure. Just now when the cry
of "cheap transportation" resounds
throughout the land, it is exceeding

has been held by tho Railway auto
crats. With the fruits of tho "Iowa

will accrue to tho people of the

Gratz, a town In the GrandDuchy
of Posen, has for some time pat be
come famous as another of the many
spots to which pilgrimages are un
dertaken. Tho peculiar feature,
however, of this shrine is, that the
great point of attraction is a Jew,
and the pilgrims within the walls
of Gratz belong exclusively to the
Jewish confession. This Jew is an
old Rabbi, and hundreds of Jews
visit him from the above-mentioned
Grand Duchy, from Gallicia, from
Russian Poland, in fact, from every
direction round about vherc the
twelve tribes are represented. A
looker-on might be made to believe
that he is at the place where the

most i-emarkable feature of these

the contrary, he has even requested
the police to rid him of the immense
multitude of visitors. But, consid

Breach of promise actions are rare
in Fjrance. The law does not admit
compensation for injured feelings,
and to'eustain a suit of this kind it
is always necessary to prove special
damages. An attempt to do this
has'just been made before the civil
tribunal of the Seine by a lady call
ing herself Mle. Decaisne. She sued
a gentleman with the curious name
of Mariage, and laid her damages
at 10,000 francs, because, on the
faith of the engagement, she had
given up a place of companion to a
person f rank, and had bought a
trosseau. The defense was that M.
Mariage, aged forty-five, had not
sought either fortune or beauty, but
he desired youth, and the plaintiff
had deceived him about her age.
She at first represented herself to be
twenty-three, but afterwards owned
to twenty-six. Though disappointed,
he had. made up his mind to put up
with this difference ; but he had
foundt)ut by the register that sho
was in reality thirty-two, and that
was a figure he could not accept
Amid shouts of laughter, caused by

dish-pan gazed benignly on the cer

At Eastbourne, a town on the
south coast, about twenfy. miles
from Brighton, a lady of Immense
wealth using a bath chair for the
ordinary purposes of health hailac
tually married tho drawer oftho
unpoetical equipage. He was a
gentleman in reduced (Jiroum
stances, and in dofault of a better
occupation had taken to that 'of
wheeling or drawing bath chairsT
which lias at least the advantage of
requiring no previous apprentice
ship, no preliminary competitive
examination, but may be entered
upon at once by any one who has
tolerably strong arms. His wealthy
patroness talked to him, made him
drag her to lonely spots, there to
read novels; took an Interest in
him, become attaohed to him, and
finally made him an offer of mar
riage, which he seems to have had
no hesitation in accepting,
