Mr*Ooverner Butler, of Massachn* setts practices civil service reform. He lately wrote as follows to a clergvman who had applied for the position of chaplain of the state prison: "From all I learn the present chap lain Is a very estimable Christian gen­ tleman, who bas done his whole duty* and has the full confidence of the con •lets. I believe, though I do not know certainly, as I have never specially ii. quired, that lie is a Republican In poli­ tics; but that furnishes no reason for the removal of^a competent, deserving and honest officer, who does not use Ills offlce as an electioneering machine. If any such one dots he must take the results of the election." fl^The Farmer$' Magazine says: 4'Owr 300,000,000 pounds of oleomargar­ ine was thrust upon the people the past twelve months, and yet butter did not ** fall one cent In price, although this ••at quantity directly supplied the place of so much butter in the market. Cnriously too. our supply of butter was as large as usual, and promises, owing to the rapid multiplication of : creameries, to be larger while the ?np- V ply of oleomargarine will be doubled the eoming year. It is a problem how butter bat kept its price in the face of this monster, that threatened to drive It from the markets entirely; b«t we may naturally conclude that H Is an Impossibility to overstock the markets with anything. ktVTION<tL A correspondent of the New York Sun. writing from Georgia, gives a dis­ couraging account of the feeling which exists throughout the south toward' northern interests and northern people. This, lie says, was especially manifested during the recent discussion on the tariff. Among all (he cotton-growing states there has been a loud and per­ sistent demand for British free-trade, or at least for a slashing reduction of the present rates. They wanted every thing to be free except sugar, cotton, jute or other articles in which the south i« interested, Init where northern capi­ tal or workmen were'concerned. *the destructive effect of 'foreign competi­ tion received? not. the slightest atten­ tion. or. rather, was regarded as one et the incidental benefits of the proposed inm&Mtion. On the question of (he re ductlou of the I eternal revenue, exactly contrary sentiments vv»re expressed. So small a portion of this tax is paid by the south that its diminution or abolition was regarded with extreme disfavor. In this case, too, the princi­ ples of political economy were an al­ most Inappreciable factor in forming public opinion, while sectional animosi­ ty was mo«t powerful- The frequent appeals which appear In southern papers for northern capital and men to develop the resources of the south are too often cited as evidenc­ ing the commencement of an «ra of good feeling between the two Sections. The correspondent, however, takes a different view. The ownersof exhausted southern lands, in desrair of selling their worthless property to others bur­ dened with the /ante incumbrances, look to the north for victims upon whom to unload, and if questioned as to the morality of such transactions, repls* that "it is only getting back a little of the property stolen from us during the war,1* and the same excuse serves to cover a multitude of sins, large and small, of a similar nature. The war left .Impressions that are Indelible, with the present generation at leant, and its bitter memories effectually preclude any real reconciliation between the antagonists who participated in that gigantic and, to the south, almost fatal struggle. The victor can forgive and forget, but the vanquished bides his time. The national treasury, filled as it is to overflowing with taxes collected almost wholly at tlte north, offers a means of recouping southern losses, of which that section does not hesitate tw take advantage. The diminution of the government rcveiues by repealing the Internal tax laws, was a proposition which tho south oppos|^ witli vehem­ ence and resolution. Ill '84, it said, "after electing a Democratic president, we will relieve the national vaults by methods which do not include reducing the burdens of northern capital.*1 IflrThe new Democratic Senator from West Virginia has risen rapidly In political preferment since tho war, and while expressing himself as grate­ ful to his friends for this he said: *1 tell you frankly, gentlemen, that none •f these have given me so much gen­ uine pleasure as the fact that my hound pup took the premium at the dog show the other night." The Hafeesiuan trora West Yirginia will not be held up as a shining example for the youth of the land to follow. The school teacher must hang to the hatchet story and point to that elder Virginian--Washington- -as the model. But' Senator Kcnna has until 1889 to serve In the Senate and may improve-- if some one would only steal his hound P»P- ___________ t9~The Insult to the stars and stripes •t Curacoa is said to have been due to the freak of a drunken policeman. It seems tke custom officer gave the cap- tilii of the American ship a clearance pass to be i.aude«l by hi in to the port guard on the ship, who In turn was to hand It to a policeman whose duty It was to carry it to tho commander of the fort. This he failed to do. It is a lame apology for the Insult to the American flag that a policeman was drunk ittul the soldier who carried the orders to the gunners was too stupid to understand the command ,given liim. Had the United States a war fleet on the South American coast, or even one respectable vessel of war. It is safe to assert that the alleged blunder would not have happened. j. (9*Wiggius is more of is Wirzerd than the storm of which lie pretended to be advised intuitively. That he was able to frighten many timid peo­ ple, aud subject silly fishermen and Ma faring men to great loss, is doubt­ less true. A fool can light a match that will kindle a flame that scatters desolation and destruction iu its lurid pathway, it would be a gbod scheme lor our slow mou'.ded Canadian neigh­ bors to appoint a committee of savans, experts In lunacy and shallow minded- ness, who should bo authorized to ex­ amine Wiggins'- storfn ceutre, and as- aertain if possible the influence of high tides and low tides upon his saturnine brain.

Estimates at this season of the year are more, or less uncertain, yet the prospects for agriculture in this conn- try have seldom been more promising. In the West the frosts were deep and the ground well cove red with snow, which drew the frost gradually, and has protected the wheat and grass. The spring wheat area in Iowa. Min­ nesota and Dakota will be benefitted by the severe frosts. The freezing makes the prepared ground niellow. it dries ont readily, and before the deep frost is out, the seeders can be at work. There Is a fine prospect for a good crop of wheat all over the wheat re­ gion of the United States, and a good crop means 200.000,000 bushels to sell abroad. Ther is no prospect of a low price for cattle. The floods in Europe have done much to injure the wheat crop there, and unless the spring and summer are exceedingly favorable, a low average crop will be harvested. Especially bad are the prospects In England. A correspondent <*avs, bad as the liar- vests for the last seven years have been, the harvest of 1883, according to all reports, promises to be woise than any of the preceding ones. The land sown with wheat down to the end of January, comprises less than two- thirds of the usual acreage. Since then the weather has been so wet that no planting at all could be done, and it is now too late for sowing, except iu those few localities where wheat can be grown in the British Isles. The seed which has been sown lies for the most part rotting in the saturated ground, a prey to slugs, favored in their depredations by the moisture. Aside from the unfavorable outlook in Europe, those who are holding grain for a fabulou« price have little to rely upon to keep up their expecta­ tions but a dismal spring and summer here, neither of which are at present liable to ensue. There was never a better promise in the wheat growing districts for a propitious spring than is offered this year, and few are so doubtful as to express such an unfavor­ able turn.-- ACOOl)M*"»0* "tUlS PUBLIC MONK*. The law relating to publication bf fiduciary Officers, passed by the Legis­ lature of this state two years ago, is now In full force and should be observed by township officers. For the benefit of such officers and for the public gener-, ally we publish it in full with a •Incis­ ion of the attorney general relative tot its intent. The law is IM follows: An net to require officers having in their custody public funds to prepare and publish mi annual statement of the receipts oc disbursement of such funds. Section 1, Be it enacted by the peo­ ple of the State of Illinois, represented In the General Assembly. That each aud every public officer, elected or ap­ pointed, of each ami every comity aud township iu tills State, who shall, by virtue of his or her office, have the cus­ tody of public funds, shall, at the ex­ piration of encli fiscal vear, pre pur" a statement of the amount of public funds received and expended by him or her during the fiscal year just closed which statement shall show the amount of publics funds, if any on baud at the commencement of said fiscal year, the amount ol public funds expended, and for what purposes expended; and '.lie officer making such statements shall subscribe and swear to the same before some person authorized to administer oaths; aud sucTi officer shall cause such s&atcmeut to be published in some newspaper published lu the county in which sucli officer holds his or lier otiiee, for one week; and, If no newspaper be published fu such county, then sr.ch officer shall make three (3) written copies of such statement, and post thein in three (3) of the most public places nearest lo the location of his or her office ; Provided, (bat the .provision of this act shall not apply tosherifls, circuit clerks, county clerks, county ro- corders, county superintendents* of schools, county treasurers, county col­ lectors, and township collectors, in counties under township organization. And provided further, that the cost for said statement, shall not exceed the sum of one dollar ($1) per hundred words, to be paid out. of tile funds in the hand* of the officer making such statement. And provided further, the said public officer shall not be required to have said statement published if he shall be unable to procure such publica­ tion at the price allowed for this act. 2. Any public officer of any county or township iu this State, who by vir­ tue of his or her office, shall have the custody of public funds and who shall, refuse or neglect to comply with the provisions of the first section of this act. shall be deemed guilty of a misde­ meanor. and upon conviction thereof shall be fined no less than (950) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500) at the discretion of the court, which fine shall be paid into the treasury of the county or township in which the officer convicted the said misdemeanor shall hold his or her offlce; and it shall be the duty of the states attorney for the county in which said misdemeanor is committed to bring suit against anj public officer charged With the viola­ tion of the provisions of ijiis act in any court having jurisdiction. Approved March 30.1881. The following decision of Attorney General McCartney explains the scope of this law: E. A. Snivelv, Clerk of the Supreme Court. Dear Sir:--lu reply to your communication of this day. asking what officers are required by the Gen­ eral Assembly approved May 30. 1881,' io publish an annual statement of re­ ceipts and disbursements, I have the lionar to submit the followiug: Tne statements therein required should be prepared and pnbtisiiert by the school treasurers of tho various townships, by the treasurer of the Highway Commissioners and by the Supervisors of townships in counties under rownship organization. All other county and township officer^ baring the custody of public fundi seem to be exempted from the provis­ ions of the act by the proviso. Verv truly yours, ;v \ JAMES MCCAKTNEV, Atty Getfewti.« ' 5 - n l,l|i- m IWM'13 Kmroit I 'I.AINDKALKH:--In Mark 18%, 82 Christ says: "Of that day and lioii^ kuowtfth no rttiin,'* for in those days! shall be afflictions such as was not fron^' the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time neither shall be;* and except the Lord had shortened thos* days no flesh should be; saved, see v. 19.20. Referring to the tiiu© when Titos besieged 'Jerusalem, in the 34th v., he again mentions the time "But In those days (not the day of judgment) after that tribulation the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars, of heaven shall fall and the powers that are in hehven thai! ,be shaken." In Matt. 24;29 the same subject Is spoken, of. Christ says: "Immediately after * lie tribulation of those days," shutting oil alJ possibility of a reference to the day of judgment. Iu the 34th v. he says "Tl.il s generation shall not pass till all things be fulfilled," and in the 3filh v. "Of that day and hour knoivetli no man." In prophetic language the fall of the Jewish polity, civil and re­ ligious. in represented by the sun belugsj darkened, the moon not giving her light, the stars falllng'troin heaven. In Isa. 13:10 the fall of Babylon is spoken of as follows: "For the stars of heaven and tlte constellations thereof shall not give Iheir light, the sun shall be dark­ ened in his going forth, and the moon shall not caine her light to shine." In Ezk. 32,7,8, the fall of Kg^pt is spoken of in highly figurative language, "Aiyl when I shall put .thee out I will cover the heaven and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover tiie sun with a clot* and the moon shall not give lie'r light; ail the bright liglrs of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon tliy land, salth the Lord God.'( The fall of Jerusalem itself is very probably spoken of in Joel: 'The snn shall be turned Into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and i.iotable day of the Lord shall come " How the moon shall. be turned i nto blood iu the day of judgment seems absurd either literally or in figure. See Peter's use of tills In Acts 2, 10 to 20: "Blood and fire and vapor of smoke" answers well to the four years of siege by Titus, aud to the eleven hundred thousand perishing iu the siege, as re­ corded by Josephus. And the Master himself says. Matt. 24, 21, "For then shall be great tribulation such as was not siuce the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. lest I should be deemed he re et leal by my brethren." See Dr. A.Clark's and R. Watson's notes on the verses in Matt, and Mark. The prediction of the fall of Jerusalem as given by Christ, and its accomplishment as told by Josephus forms'one or the proofs of the creda- bility of the Sejriptures. { J. E. BASSKTT.

Peck is admitted, by COUK mon consent, to be one of America"# Greatest Humorists. His former booksv "Fun" and "Sunshine," have won for him a continental renown. But Ms last book is undoubtedly his masterpiece. Peck's Bad R&y is a "holy terror." He is full front^top to toe of pure, unadul­ terated cussednes8. He hungers and thirsts after mischief. He lies awake nights inventing schemes of deviltry, and rises with the lark to put them into execution. The sight of him makes the g*ocery man tired every time. He leads his poor PP the life of a dog one day and of a martyr the next. He makes his Pa a nuisance iu church, a fool at home, and a laughingstock' to the world. Nothing escapes Ids atten­ tion; nothing is too commonplace aud nothivg too sacred for lj#m~to make the occasion of some diabolical joke. Fish­ ing, skating, making New Year's calls, or rambling in the woods in summer, it is ail the same. He is evidently pos­ sessed o( a whole legion of devils, lie is without doubt the very worst boy ever born in America. And yet he Is the most popular boy in America to­ day. The boj's read of his escapades and regard him as a.greater hero than George Washington, The girls read this book and think the way the Bad Boy got even with his girl was just ttpleudld. Fathers read it and sigh. Old bachelors read it and^haiiK heaven they have no boy*. Ministers smuggle it Into their studTes iind nearly choke themselves with valh attempts to sup­ press their merriment: Agedsp'nsters read it, and, unaccustomed tv the laugh ter it compels begin at once to grow fat. Everybody reads it. It Is the I most popular book of the age, '*V Illustrations are most graphic and sug| gestiva. The artist, who Is one of the.' "Old Masters" of Chicago, has caught] the author's humor, and his sketches greatly enhance the value of the book. The picture of the Bad Boy's Pa light­ ing the hornet*, or descending by his patent fire-escape, or receiving the salute of tbe Royal Bumper, re real the very heart of the author's, humor.
