Spacious and clean and cool as is the Capitol, the most comfortable place in the whole district, it seems a pity that its shelter should all run to waste through the hot season when so many of us oor growlers are panting and broiling in the low lauds of the crowded parts of the city.

It is hard for us stupid ones to understand the whys and wherefores of this civil ass vice reform, about which so much ado is being made. Of course we can see into the plain, outside common-sense things in which "the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not but where is the good or the improvement of letting sueb a world of work, as the engraviug and printing of our bunk notes, to si York to be done by a bank note Company, in stead of having it continued iu the Treasury building in Washington as heretofore? It is for this that so ma ny hundred employes have recently been dismissed from the department and are now on the very vetge of star vation, many of them in our midst. What is to become of them, joor things, I cannot see. Fathers of families, mothers of half orphaned children, widows and cripples what cau they do, turned adrift, in such times as these, and in such a city as this, where there is no work to be had but government work? What can they do but leg, or starve and do worse, even as one of the last discharged did, throw himself across the railroad track before an advancing train. There are two sorts of spring-time with us now.

In the outskirts of the city, in the groves and woods, nothing could be sweeter than the tender, deli cate spring and early summer llow-i and the bright aud fragrant foliage of the trees and shrubbery. The wild flowers, violets, buttercups and daisies are everywhere to be found, aud the beautiful pink laurels are all abloom, while in the city our spring seems even now, like mid-summer dusty and dry, and hot, already too hot to be comfoit-ablc except in the early morning and late in the afternoon. limiting dresses and white waists and sacfjues arc pi- and the awkward dolmans that have so distressed our fcight for the last lew weeks are being laid aside we hoje forever.

It is said that President (i rant incurred a great deal of severe criticism by receiving presents from baukers and other rich men, and that his adminis ttation suffered much in public estimation by the number and value of the gifts he received from individual citizens. Strange that we must be forever saying ill-natured things about people when it can do no tood This is not wise, and our leaders and rulers might do well to imitate Queen Victoria's action in such matters. She accepts no presents from her subjects under any circumstances, refusing to be placed under the least obligation to any of her people, and if one is ever moved by his loyalty to proffer her a gift, bhe either politely returns it or sends back its equivalent in hard cash. The New York papers have lately mentioned these same facts in rather a left handed connection. It seems that President Haves was the guest of a private citizen during his visit in New York this week to attend the dinner given by the hamber of Commerce and to unveil the llalleck statue in Central Park, and thereby excited some jealousy among the citizens, or a part of them.

The Graphic mentions it, saying that the constitution prohibits the President from receiving presents from foreign nations or their subjects, and tliat it would be well were he not to accept a gift from anybody under any circumstances; but cornea to its real point by baying, "It would be well, al- Amusing Mistake of Two YouDg Pennsylvania Preachers. An amusiiiir Boene occurred iu the Christian church at LariksviUe, last Sunday morning. It appears that the Methodist pulpit at that nlace was to he supplied by a preacher from the Wyoming seminary, two young men proceeded thither for the purpose of conductiii" the service. Justead of going to the Methodist Episcopal church, hovever, they went into the Christian church on the opposite side of the street, where they found a large conL'recation. Thinking that they had been waited for they proceeded at once to the vacant pulpit, andafler a brief pause and a glance at the congregation, one of them rose, read a chapter in the bible, and said he had selected it as the foundation of a few remarks.

The Rev. Mr. Bevau, pastor i the church who had bsect a liule behind walked in at this interesting juncture, and much to his surprise found his pulpit already occupied. He did not make a demonstration like Robert, of SacUfi when that monarch found an angel in his place, but proceeded softly Block. Members IB good standing are invited to meet with us.
