Intorestod In rending the following account
from the lliiltlinoie Sun, of a recent cotnpetl cetnpetl
th e examination In that city for xslllens In
the nalllinore postelllco. 1'oeplo who hae
heard a great deal about cl 11 sorvlce rclerm
without having a cry clear Idea el" what It
I, can nle judge In , measure rrein this ac
count w hether or net such a system Is calcu

. TIIK PRELIMINARIES.
iJefore the oxamluatien ecncd each appli
cant was fiirnlshed with a declaration te be
tilled out w Ith full name, residence, w hether
oxainined for the cl 11 sorvlce w Ithln a year ;
w hether the applicant had ever been in the
civil porvice ; If the applicant was new or e or
had been been In the army or navy of the
United States; date of birth and iircscnt em
pleyment, and state or health. At the head
of this blank a iiuiuber Is placed, which Is
the applicant's examination number, and cor
responds te his number put nt the head
of each of Ills examination sheets. Tills dec
laration is placed in an cinelnpe and net
opened until afler nil the papers hae been
examined, se Hiat the beard does net knew
while marking a paper whose it is, o.cept
that it Is number ene or number two, Ac
After the avcrages of the applicants nre
inade upthodeclnratious, upon belng opened,
disclose the naine corresponding te the
number. a
KXKUCm; IN DICTATION.
The first blank, which was en dictation,
Was handed around, and Majer Italley, the
president of the beard of examlners, took his
stand, whei oho could be heard by nil, nnd
read nleud the following :
"Ne question in any examination ei pro pre pro
cedlng by, or tindei, the commission or ox ex ox
ninlners shall call for the oxpresslon or dis
closure or niiy political or religious opinion
or affiliation, and ir such opinion or nfllliatien
be knew u, no discrimination shall be nude
by reason thorcefby the examiners, the com
mission or the appointing pew er. The com
mission nnd Its examlners shall discounto disceunto discounte
nanccriill disclosure, bofero either of thorn, of
such opinion by or concerning any applicant
for examination, or by or concerning any ene
whose naine is en the register uuniting ap
pointment." Majer Bailey lead it slowly and distinctly
with frequent jiauses te allow "catching up"."
He looked evcry inch the schoolmaster, and
fceme could ecn picture the birch in his
hand. "I read slowly," he afterwards ex
plained, "te gie the fast writers time te
wrltotuero carefully and net te crowd the
Slower enes." A short time was allowed for
revision and punctuation, and in ten minutes
from the start all the papers were handed in.
The dictation exercise, It afterwards trans
pired, was rule eight of the civil-sen ice reg
ulations. Then came the second part of the first sub
ject, which was en copying and spelling.
1 he copying oxerclso Asaa ery siinple, con
sisting of about 200 w erds or an abstract from
the postmaster-general's report or 18S2. It
related merely te the bj Ing accomplished In In
iteo then recent contract ler stamped eno ene eno
lepoB. The spelling oxercise consisted of
twenty words in common use. The copying
and spelling made up sheet two.
ARITHMETICAL NUTM TO CRACK.
Sheet threo, or the second subject, was
arithmetic, in which thore were eight ques
tions, with instructions te gie the operations
in full. Question ene was ene in addition,
the object being te get the total of the large
amounts et cotton exported from New Or
leans, Baltimore, New Yerk, Yorktown and
Galvesten. Question two was te find the
differeiiLO betw een the debt of the United
States and the cash in the treasury. The an
swer te this, whether accurate or only pro
blematic, was "emcthing oer $1,150,000.
Question three was en this order : 30 clerks
are te distribute 48,000 letteis en a p.uticular
day. Hall are experienced and halt are new
men. It each el the experienced men de
twice, its much as each new man, hew many
w ill be distributed by eacli man and by each
class of men. Though apparently a stickler
at first, it seen reseled itself Inte a question
of proportions. The fourth question was
te find the money alue et a let of
stamps, where there were a number or sheets
or each denomination, and each sheet contain
ed 100 stamps. There were 109 sheets of one eno ene
cents stamps, 09 et tw os, 73 et IHe and 27 of
tens. Question flve was, "Wrlte in ligures
ene million ene thousand and ene hundred
dollars and he en cents." Question six was
net 'ery hard. It was a case like this:
"There were handled by the railway postal
clerks in ene year 2,155,213,880 letters and
postal cards ami l,278,760,7Cr pieces of ether
mall matter. One errer was committed rer
every 3,803 pieces handled. What was the
number of errors committed. The next was
this: "Hew many mail bags, containing 2
1-12 yards et cloth each, can be made of a belt
of 60yaids, and what does each yard of cloth
cost, the cost of a bag being 85 tents?" The
last question was: "The total rotciiues of the
postelllco department for the tlfcal year 18S2
weref41,87ll,4l0.15, and the exicnditures for
postmasters' salaries for the same time f 8,tl,
f7(l72. What percentage of the reenues
did the salaries amount te?"
AN EXERCISE IN COMPOSITION.
Then came the third subject, which was
writing a lctter te the postmaster general
giving the applicant's lows en the Ameri
can postelllco system and its impoitauce en
Iho business of tlioceuntry. Tills was chiefly
te try the skill or the applicants in simple
English composition and punctuation. If
many had jetted dew u their pre ailing views
te the head of the department the tenor el
tlie letters would evidently hae been en the
order : "The system is a geed one. I'lease
give me the best en have In thoshep." Hut
no one dared, and the ausw ers, as u rule,
were short and te the point.
Thouextaud last subject was geography,
lu which tliore were eight questions as fol fel
lows i "Name the original thirteen states;"
"name the live great lakes in their order
from east te west ;" "name live mountain
ranges of the United States;" "name the
states bordering en the Gulf or Mexico;"
" what states would oil travel hi going the
most direct line from Husten te Washing
ton ;" "name tluee rivers directly tributary
te the Mississippi ;" "give Iho livers, flve
hikes, flve bays and flve mountain peaks in
the United States." The ethor was te give
the states In which uie the waters en which
were ten large cities, such as Huflaln, New
Orleans, Chicago, Ac Geography was of
all the hardest subject, though seemingly
simple.
Ah each candidate finished ene paper he
I nit en it the time received and the time
Inlshed, and handed It ever te Secretary
Adams, who furnished the applicant with the
next sheet. The llrst te flnlsli was a young
man, who handed In his laU paper at ten
minutes after II. The last paper was handed
lu at 2 p. m.
HOW BELLCTIOMJ aiu: made.
The local beard will be seme daj s exam
lug the papers of the applicants, and these
who crade ut deer evor will be placed en the
civil sorvlce list. When the postmaster has a
vacancy te till he notifies the beard, who scud
him the names of the four grading highest,
and from them the postinastersolects a name.
The ether three and the ene standing next
nre sent in for the next, and se en. II a name
has been Bent in four times and the person
net apielnted, it is net sent in any niore
unless the pestmaster specially asks ter it.
Theso who pass the examination are kept en
the civ II sen ice ler ene jear, nnd if net ap
pointed te a nlaoe in that time are dropped,
but can stand an examination latoren. if an
applicant w he passes gets another place out
side, and docs net want a government posi
tion, lie can keen Ids name en the list by de
clining te have his uiinie " ecrtttlcd te for the
present ;" that is, net te have the beard bend
it In for a vacancy at that particular time.
A hew Way Te Steal a Chicken.
Jehn Hiewu, a young man, was placed en
trial In the criminal court of Haltimoie "ftn
Friday en the charge of the larceny of a live
chicken from Jehn Meyer, en day street,
near Itelalr market. The ovldcnce for the
state w as te the etlcct that the prisoner laid a
