Civil Service. A Xew York delegation called on the Pppsident-eli-ct yesterday morning, and dis til ured an address on the question of civil service. The General made a reply, and a very diplomatic une at tluit. He just sim 1 ly tnii, in aubstaHce, that if Congress will foruiuiate a civil sew ice code be will be glad. Uow wise in the General to put it in that way Everyb-idy knows that tbe aver age Congressman and Senator will not. hort of millennial days, lormulate a civil aerrice code that will curtail their influence ii tli iii:tcr ui tt Si-. of appuitweats. A President cannot fight his Congressmen on the question of appointment unless, indeed, the appointments are made from a clan of unworthy men. In every och ease the President will receive hearty snppon trom the people. Doubtless a n umbel of unworthy men in evrrv Congressional t district are in office who should be pat out should be defeated whenever he attenipta another election.

Such amendments can be proposed, and, if adopted by the people, the voire of the people must be obeyed. But it would be foolishness to propose such an amendment. Congress would not vote to submit it to the people, and if it would so vote, when the people wonld get a vote on it tbey would vote it down by a stunning majority. The men who have such an amendment ready will do better never to offer it. Northern Pacific Railroad affairs has been a good deal talked of under the rumor that American and Ea ropexn capitalists have raised a fund of forty million dollars to complete the road.

Professor Veonor, the Canadian weather prophet, savs there will be uni versal snowfalls and very cold weather this winter. Oo the other hand, Mr. A. J. Defoe, the weatberwise mall of Haokeosack, New York, predicts mnch rain and mild weather all winter. Ue says the ice men are going to have a bad year. There will be no long con tinued cold, and ioe will be ss scarce next season as it was last summer. His forecast of the winter sent to the New York Farmet's Club on the 1st of October, was as follows: "A dry fall mild in this section. Heavy northeast storms and snow in the Western and Southern Stotes. Heavy southeast winda and rain ever the lake region. Great snowfills in the Northwest. Not so much snow in New Jersey and New York as in North Oarolina during the winter. The winter here will be com paiatively mild. In nearly all storms there will be southwest winds, with rain." The prophecy of Prof. Veanor for the month of December is very differ ent: "There will probably be some snow from about the 4th of the month. With the second quarter of the month colder weather will probably set in with falls of snow. The farmers will be able to enjoy bleigh rides in the cold, exhil arating air butgood sleighing need not be expected until after the middle of the month There will be a spell of mild weather about the 13 and 14th. After a brief interval of mild weather, during which more snow will fall,' the third qnaiter cf the month will probab ly see blustering and cold weather a cold snap with heavy soow storms and coneqnent good sleghing. Very cold weather may be expected during this quarter. The last qnarter of the month will bring milder weather in fact the heaviest snowfall will be toward the end of the month, and snow blockades may be looked for, the snowfalls extending far southward, possibly as far as Wash ington, with very stormy weather aronnd New York and Boston." ROOSTER PROPHECY. How the Old Lady Knew That Garfield Would be Elected. In GrecnsLurg, Westmoreland coun ty, Fa., there res.de an old lady nam ed Mary Paulding, wuo for the past twenty years bas on tbe morping of tbe election, in a novel way pnt to a test who would be elected Preitideot pf tbe United States, which test, she avers, in all that time bas never failed ber. This t is how she does it : On tbe evening be-1 fore the day of election she selects two roosters and names them for the two leading candidates, puts them under a tub or for that part under a copper kettle in the back yard, and in the morning, as soon as it is fairly daylight, she raisos the tub and lets them strut forth, and the one that crows first, the person after whom bo is named is elect ed President for sure On the evening before the last election, according to her wonted custom, she selected two choice cockerels, and named them re spectively U arfield and Hancock, and that there should be no deception their names were tied in bold letters around their necks. Tbey were put underneath a tub in tbe back yard for tbe rest of the night. In tbe morning, in tbe presence of some of her neighbors the tub was raised and tbe cockerels stepped forth in the light, and lo and behold ! Garfield, with bead erect, strutted forth, clapping big wings acd crowed most lustily for a solid North and several of tbe others thrown in, while Hancock, with head and tail down, slunk away and hid underneath some bushes, although as was said by a look er on, -See, be bas the biggest tail, yet it won't stand np." That lady was as sure of Garfield's election election then astbeisnow that be is elected. She says she never was deceived. Ilia Petition Answered.

He shortly after ob ta.ced bail and was taken to bis bouse. The sudden and startling answer to his petition has created quite a sensation in the community where he lives.

Weather Prophete at cute. Cold Weather and the Grata Trade. From th6 Baltimore Sun. The rise in grr.iu, which is now being chronicled, is not only simultaneous with but in a great measure consequent upon the sudden oold spell and the closing of the canals. The New York canal, it was announced, would be closod on December ,il'2. Instead of that they are suddenly shut np a month earlier, with 7,000,000 bushels between Buffalo end Albany and no prospect of opening Until spring. Tbii body of grain cannot go forward to market with out many delays. Meantime the bulk of it is already sold and the deficiency J must be supplied bv drawing npon other ' stores. This is tufficient to account for I the advance. The closing of the eanals will, however, throw a great pressure of work upon the railroads ; these will probably advance freight rates accord ingly, and the additions thus made to the cost of wheat and corn on the other side of the Atlantic will make European dealers much more careful in buying.
