Appointment to Office.
The question of reform in the civil serv
ice of the government now bids fair to
receive tho right kind of attention. The
board appointed to investigate this subject,
has made a report, and presented a series
of rules for guidance in the appointment to
office. The President in a special Message
to Congress says that after the 1st of Jan.,
1872, he will be guided by these suggest
ions, but thinks Congress had better leg
islate in the matter, so that future Pres
idents will have to conform to these rules.
The features of tho plan in regard to ap
pointments, are First, entrance into any
branch of tho cival service at the lowest
point ; Second, competitive examination at
that point, and at every succeeding stage ;
Third, probation ; Fourth, promotion ;
Fifth, no fixed tenure, leaving tho power
of removal with the president, who cannot,
however, 1111 the vacant place, it being re
quired that the successor shall come in ac
cording to the fixed rules ol the service.
This, of course, while keeping in the hands
of tho Executive the power to remove in
competent, takes from hiiu both tho temp
tation and the scandal of acting from par
tisan motives. IIo can no longer accom
modate cither his own or a Congressman's
political or personal friends with a place,
Inasmuch as the right to make most ap
pointments is entirely removed from him,
and placed in the hands of a board, who
'can base their action only on the result of
an'examlnation. The scheme ismado to ap
ply to all clerks employed in the custom or
revenue service ; all Collectors and Asses
sors of Internal Reveuue, all Collectors of
Customs and their subordinates, all Post
masters above a cortain grade, all Consuls,
all Indian Agents and Pension Agonts, in
fact, every officer of the Government,
whether at Washington or elsewhere, ex
cept a few of the highest olllcers, and t
limited number in subordinate places,
which the rule specifies.
It remains to be seen how Congressmen
who have depended upon " patronage" for
their elections, as well as mere partizans of
every grade, from highest to lowest, the
country over, will like this measure. There
need be no surprise at a great outcry in
some quarters against it ; but all honest
mon approvo it ; or if not this in all
its detail for it is too much to expect it
will prove faultless from tho first then,
certainly, the system to which, if honestly
continued, it will lead ; for never was tho
necessity of a measure more imperative, or
the abuses at which it aimed nioro surely
fatal, if continued, to the liberties of a
country.
Tho President ouylit to reeeiv the heart
iest thanks of the nation, if ho faitlifuly
tallies out the reform which he praposo.
Let us hope- lie will, and if he docs it
, will remove ono of the greatest objections
to a President serving two tonus, . ;
(Sharp Work.
A merchant in Manchester, Euglaiid
recently wanted 1,500 pieces of printed
pal loo, of a particular pattern, for shipment
to America, At S o'clock one evening he
wont to Ilarpency, three miles from Man
chester, to see a cotton printer, who under
took to print the 1,500 pieces in three
colors, and to have them packed in cases
ready for shipment by noon the following
day. This was done, at 8 o'clock tho goods
were at Liverpool, and at 5 o'clock they
were on board a steamer, going down the
Mersey on their way to Now York.
Changes In Japan.
Recent advices from Japan show that
wonderful changes are taking place in that
Empire, giving evidence of the great in
fluence Americans have had.
His imperial highness the Mikado is tak
ing an active personal interest in the affairs
of government, as is evident from his fre
quent visits to the various public depart
ments. He is generally attended by but
four guards. Great changes are noticeable
everywhere. European dress is now, with
but few exceptios, adopted by the official
class. The Mikado, it is reported, was to
visit the United (States frigate Colorado,
Captain Baldwin.
All the lato daimios and princes have
been ordered, with their families, to tako
upthoir residenco at Yedo, where, although
they relinquish their titles and herediitary
rights, they will be supported by salaries
allowed for lifo by the goneral government,
and are classified under ten grades re
ceiving pay accordingly.
The Buddhist temples have been closed,
n(lpr.e8tghave
Join the army or become farm laborers ; In
fact, work for an honest livelihood. Nor
is the sweeping hand of reform stayed
here. All officials are forbidden to squat on
mats in public,buthereafter are required to
furnish at least two rooms in European
style, and adopt tho foreign dress at an
early date. Their efforts are certainly de
serving of our warmost sympathy.
The Japanese government, with tho ob
ject of pushing on the civilization of their
country, and bringing it forward as rapid
ly as possible, are continously engaging
foreigners from abroad to enter their ser
vice.
In addition to the many recent appoint
ments of eminent American citizens, we
hear of twenty-three French military in
structors for the Imperial army, ten British
instructors for the Japanese navy, twelve
beer brewers from Bavaria, and twenty
first-class boot and shoemakers havo been
ordered.
A Cow Paulc.
Tho Detroit Tribune tells tho following :
A cow was tho cause of a most remarkable
instanco of devastation a few nights since.
Breaking into the yard of Mr. Lamber's
dwelling, and putting her head into an
empty barrel in an exploring tour for any
contents it might have, she was unable to
extricate herself, and sooirjbceame thorough.
ly frightened, and began to rush wildly
around. In this condition she forced her
way into the woodshed, and thence into
tho kitchen, and thence into tho dining
room of the house, becoming all the while
more furious.
From this room she made her way into
the parlor, throwing down and trampling
under foot everything that came in her
way. Mrs. Lambert aroused her husband,
who arose, and went tor help. 1 lie cow
rushed into the bedroom where Mrs. Lam
bert, with a little baby and one child oc
cupied a bed, another little child was in a
crib in front of it. The enraged animal
m ounted the bed, but help arrived, and not
an instant too soon. Tho window was
raised from the outside, and Mr. McKen-
sde attempted to enter, when the barrel
gave him a blow which knocked him ha ck
against the fence.
The children were at last secured and
passed through the window and Mrs. Lam
bert soon followed. The door of the bed
room was thon closed, and shejwas loft to
herself. At Ion nth sho became quiet, and
the barrel fell from bor bead ; the doors
were opened and she walked out. The fur
niture, which was very nice, is fearfully
demoralized. The plastering was knocked
from tho walls, and pauols of the doors
broken out.
Another Trunk Case.
A dispatch from Quebeo dated the 2((th
lilt., says the city to night is in a perfect
ferment. The excitement is caused by the
discovery of another " trunk horror," which
bids fair to outdo for brutality, &e., that
which startled New York a short time ago.
On last Saturday tho .station master
and oillcer engaged at the Grand Trunk
railroad dopot experienced a horrible smell,
which seemed to proceed from a trunk left
liehind by "a passenger who had crossed over
to Point Levi, in the forry boat.
The box was immediately opened by the
officer of the station, and soon tho form of
a woman was revealed to t'.ieir view, and
tho smell was thon fearful.
The body was in a shockingly mutilated ;
condition. The arms and legs had been I
cut off, the flesh was hacked off in all di- j
ructions, for, it is presumed conveuionee in 1
packing, and tho head was cut off and 1
wrapped in rags in one corner of the box. I
Tho wholo sight was horrible and sicken-1
Ing. The Coroner and police authorities I
wore at once notified, and an inquest is now
going on. Foul play is apparent, of course
and the matter will bo thoroughly and
promptly sifted.
Rather Cool.
A young lady iii Sprlngflold, Mass.,
fow nights ago, arose iu her sleep and went
to tbo promises of a neighbor, three doors
away, where she was discovered sitting
very composedly in a chair on the porch,
arrayod without any spocial .roforeuoe to
tho condition of the thermometer. Bho
was excessively frightened when awakened
and says she will be afraid to go to sleep
again.
From Washington.
Congress having adjourned over the Hol
idays, matters here have been unusually
quiet for the past ten days.
The Postmaster General, has ordored the
mail service on the Sunbury and Lewis
town railroad, from Lewistown Junction to
Sunbury, Pa., fifty miles, six times a week,
from January 20th, 1872, the pay to be
hereafter adjusted. ,
Tho President has been asked to issue a
proclamation declaring Marshal law in Ar
kansas, Florida and Georgia, where recent
disturbances have come, to the knowledge
of the authorities. The President will
hold the matter under advisement and will
not act hastily.
Much anxiety exists among subordinate
department officers concerning the opera
tion of the civil service rule, and whether
it is intended to apply to'tho present incum
bents. Several old bureau officers declare
they will not submit to what they term the
Indignity of an examination.
Going for the Root of the Evil.
The prohibitionists of Minnesota, in a
convention held a few days ago, decided to
adopt a new plan for preventing the evil
effects of liquor-selling. They will ask the
Legislature to adopt a law giving every
husband, wife, child, parent, guardian,
employei, or other persons who shall be in
jured in person or property or means of
support by any intoxicated person, or in
consequence of intoxication, habitual or
otherwise, of any person, tho right to sue
and recover exemplary damages in the
courts of the state, of the person or persons
selling or giving away the liquor, or of
letting a building to be used for the salo of
liquor. They propose also, that judgments
entered against persons for these offences
are to bo liens upon thoir real estate and
personal property, without any exempt
ions whatever. A committee of prominent
citizens was appointed to present the sub
ject to tho legislature.
An Extensive Miller.
Jacob Amos, of Syracuse, N. Y., is one
of the heaviest millors in the United States.
He has one mill at Syracuse, which contains
7 run of stones, driven by a steam engine of
70 horse power. This mill, which is man
aged by Mr. Amos' son, Charles L., gives
employment to 30 hands, and turns out
125 bbls. flour, 100 bbls. split peas, and 23
bbls. farina, per day. At BaldwiiiBville,
twolve miles from Syracuse, Mr. Amos has
another and a new mill, with 12 run of
stones, and supplied with the most improv
ed machinary, driven by a water power on
the Seneca river. This mill, which cost
1100,000, is said to bo tho finest in tho
country. It is managed by Jacob Amos,
Jr., and produces daily 200 bbls. flour, 25
bbls. farina, and 50 kegs pearl barley.
Mr. Amos, Sr., began business twenty-four
years ago, in a small way, ana is now, as
may bo inferred from the foregoing, one
of the most extensive millers in this
country.
tST A serious disturbance took place at
tho Roman Catholic church in Now York
on Christmas morning. Just as tho priest
was aoout pronouncing trie beneuictiou, a
drunken maniao named Ellis staggered up
the aisle, and in a loud and abusive way
denouncod the priest and congregation.
and when ordered out by tho sexton dared
any one to try and put him out. In an in
stant twenty men sprang from their seats
and made for Ellis. Confusion and con
sternation reigned. Somo of tho women
screamed, while others fainted. Ellis back
ed up against a pew, and drawing a knife
dared them to come on. A man named
Knopp then advanced upon Ellis, and lie
plunged his knifo into Knapp's shoulder.
Ellis was then knocked down and stabbed
by some unknown person, and then taken
to the station house.
Failure of California Harvests.
A largo poition of tho three groat valleys
of California Sacramento, San Joaquin,
and San Jose have suffered severely for
the want of rain during the Inst season.
Some idea may bo formed of the disaster
caused by this drouth in San Joaquin Valley
from the fact that, if the necessary rain
had fallen there last season, that valley
could havo spared 10,000,000 bushels of
wheat for exporting to foreign markets,
whereas It Is found necessary to organize
a company of capitalists interested in that
valley to raise $100,000 to supply the fann
ers with seed for the coming crop, and not a
fow of them with the necessaries of life.

asks, calmly speaks, cool ly answers, and

man.

A Remarkable Case.
Miss Mary Ellen Foy, tho young lady
whose throat was cut by the core of an
apple in the Now York Normal school, a
fow days ago, is dying. She was eating
the apple, had while in the act of swallow
ing a portion of tho core, it cut the lining of
her throat and several of the arteries like a
knife.
Her class mates were astonished to see
her fall over on the floor and vomit large
quantities of blood. Sho was carried to
the police station, hut little could be done
for her beyond keeping hor porfectly quiet.
Her mother, who had been summoned, was
not allowed to move her until next morning
for fear of fatal consequences.
Tho poor woman sat in the station house
watching her daughter all night. Next
day she took her homo, where she has lain
ever since, slowly wasting away. It is im
possible for her swallow anything whatever,
and her stomach has become so contracted
that nothing can enter it.
Sho is so weak from loss of blood and
starvation that the physicians in attendance
refuse to perform any operation on her, or
even to insert a silver feeding tube below
the wound, as has been successfully doue in
other instances where the mouth or throat
have been injured. They say that she
could not survive an Instant. Sho was a
bright, amiable young woman, vory much
esteemed and beloved.
