He nsed to .relate that fre­ quently, while engaged ill his work ,on Abboteford, Sir Waltar came and con­ versed with him and his fellow work-, man. "For," said he, "the shLtra* had oao pride aboot 'im." And then toward the close of last yeat died Dr. Skene, historiographer royal of Scotland, who was the son of Scott's old friend Skene of Rubislaw, and who had actually resided in Abbotsford as the guest of Scott. Next there was the late Dr. Wordsworth, bishop of St. Andrew's, who it is believed accompanied his illus­ trious uncle, the poet, and Dorothy Wordsworth on their tour through Scot­ land, when they visited Abbotsford and saw Scott before he set out on what proved to be his last excursion to the continent. Lastly*. there died during February William Haldatle of Earlston, who Wfs personally acquainted with Civil Service Reform. Civil service reform is moving on iy. It would be expedited if those T. believe in it would live up to it. As we lave said before, one trouble is that peo­ ple are good natured, and when their rriends want places under a new admin­ istration--that is, places not vacant and )nly to he made vacant by the demands )f the office seekers--these good natured people allow themselves to become part 'sf the pressure for the places by their recommendations and solicitetions. It mist sometimes look to the appointing powers as if the whole country rose up tnd demanded not civil service reform, but positions in the civil service, There is such a thing as rushing a re­ form ahead of public opinion and., thus injuring the reform, and there positions which are political in sense and should be taken poi by the party of the majority af slection. But it is the duty of ev< ten to do his share in eliminating not .. jnly the spoils system, but the spoils have 6ur Idea, from politics; to press upon the an- thorities the necessity of continually ex­ tending the merit system, and of acting tccording to its spirit outside of the classified service. For it is no exaggera­ tion to say that the evils of the spoils sys- teiix are illustrated in every sinister ca­ reer in the history of modern American An Odd Missouri 1**.

The simple dress of an American citizen prescribed for our ministers abroad by Secretary of State Marcy in 1853 will answer every purpose. Prior to that time American diplomats had worn a simple uniform, in accordance with the directions of the state department. Mr. Marcy's circu­ lar, just after Mr. Buchanan was accred­ ited to the court of St. James, troubled Victoria's master of ceremonies, and he intimated that Mr. Buchanan could not expect to be invited to court balls if he did not come in court dress.

Bswamw Crazy Vran There was a lively time on a Pullman car on the Southern road last night while en route from New Orleans to this city. At Chattanooga William C. Blackburn .of this city, a porter on one of the cars, began to act queerly. He ran through the train screaming and nearly scared the passengers out of their wits. At one time he took all the money out of his pockets and threw it out of the window. He finally became so violent that it was necessary to chain him in an apartment. Upon arriving at the Grand Central depot he was taken to police headquar­ ters, from which he was sent to the city hospital. The only explanation of Black- bum's strange conduct was that he lia4 been crazed by tobacco. Some time ago he was an inveterate user of the weed, but stopped suddenly.

When the order was sent to him, the price had already fallep from 80 to 70. By the time he reached the trad* ing post the stock had sold at 58, and he offered his stock at that price without eliciting any higher bid than 58. Un* willing to sell at such a sacrifice he de­ termined to wait a little and tanked to execute an order in another stock in an adjacent "crowd." Returning almost directly to the General Electric post, he heard somebody bidding "nine for a hundred." He disposed of his 500 shares at "nine" and was astonished to learn that he Was selling than at 69 instead, as he supposed, at S9, and the stock kept on jumping until it ercssed 80.---New York Herald. .
