Barlington Hawk-Eyetems. Gail Hamilton is riding down the lists, the very plumedest kind of a knightess. In the Sultan finds his army too small, why doesn't he arm a regiment or two of his wives? The New York Commercial Advertiser wants to know, you know, if this is the United States of Ohio. A Burlington minister says the rains in this part of Iowa are performing a work of super-irrigation. Parson Brownlow died rich, and his principal heir going to buy a dog, right quick, before the lawyers divide the property. It is thought that the warlike movements in Utah are merely indications that Brigham Young is going to espouse the cause of the Sultan. Time softens all things. If you don't believe it go down into the cellar and stick your hand down in the last barrel of cabbages you stowed away last fall. The high price of flour doesn't affect this part of Iowa very much, but if anybody gets up a corner on umbrellas and gum shoes, we are a drowned community. Out in Lucas county and down around Bedford, in this State, the farmers have had to anchor their farms down to keep them from floating off into the Missouri river. The latest spring styles of gentlemen's pantaloons have a slab of sandpaper set in the rear of the leg, and men who are not smokers are wondering what under the sun it is put there for. The world would sympathize more with the man with a cold in his head, if it wasn't for the insufferable air of superior sanctity, and calm, uncomplaining, martyrdom that he puts on and sits around in. Spring chickens are here. The price is so high that you are obliged to buy them by the chicken, and the size is so small that you have to eat them by the dozen, if you want to know what they taste like. It is a wonderful consolation to think that summer will come and go this year without a deluge of "centennial" things. Never mind the grasshoppers and the rain. We ought to be able to endure anything in patience. The one hundred and sixty-eight days of rain Burlington has enjoyed since the Terrible Disaster. At Rockford, Ill., a terrible accident recently occurred, caused by the falling of the Winnebago County Court House, which was in course of creation. We have the following particulars: The building was not yet under a roof, and a massive stone cornice, which preceded the roof, was being put on. Just as the keystone was being placed in the dome of the main pavilion, the brick work between the iron and stone gave way, and the entire dome and interior walls of the structure came crumbling down with a terrible crash that was heard nearly a mile away. The style of the building is a French Venetian of rennaissance design, by Henry L. Gay, of Chicago, and the contract for building was let to W. D. Richardson, of Springfield, who, in the spring of 1876, began work. It has two pavilions and a centre dome over the front entrance; the pavilions on each side rise about 20 feet above the level of the cornice. The dome is 119 feet from the ground, and supported by the front walls on the north side and two iron columns from 10 to 12 inches in diameter on the inner side. These columns rest upon a brick wall going up from the ground floor to the floor of the court room. The walls were about 37 feet high, and it seems were entirely inadequate to hold the immense weight of the iron pillars and massive masonry of the dome, which rested upon pillars upon the top of iron columns. There was a wrought-iron girder upon which was laid the veneer and brick of the dome. It appears that the lower walls were crushed by the weight of the upper masonry and crumbled like so much rotten mortar, bringing with them the entire interior of the building, all the rafters of corrugated iron, the ceiling of every room with its concrete filling, and the iron joists. The scaffolding came down with a terrible crash, bringing with it nearly all the workmen who were engaged on the top of the building. At the time of the accident there were twenty to twenty-five men at work. Timothy Flansagan, who was in the act of putting in the keystone of the final cornice, jumped for the guy-rope of the large derrick in front, but missing his aim, fell 120 feet to the earth, and was dashed to pieces. Most of the workmen, with the exception of four or five who jumped from the windows, fell on the inside of the tottering walls and were buried in the debris. The whole experience was quite difficult. Mr. E. O. Graves, aington official, for years vancing the cause of citing in the United States, denies "How it was done." We quote as follows: The competitive system in East India civil service earlier day than to this country. An act of 1854, provided for admission to the civil India Company.

In 1857 Spring chickens are here. The price is so high that you are obliged to buy them by the chicken, and the size is so small that you have to eat them by the dozen, if you want to know what they taste like. It is a wonderful consolation to think that summer will come and go this year without a deluge of "centennial" things. Never mind the grasshoppers and the rain. We ought to be able to endure anything in patience. The one hundred and sixty-eight days of rain Burlington has enjoyed since the first of April is not an unmixed evil. Fewer casualities from croquet have been reported this year than for the same period last spring. No heart but her own can know the agony that rends a Washington lady correspondent when she is trying to explain what it is about a senator's wife, who has red hair, one eye, freckles, and a wart on her nose, so irresistibly beautiful and universally admired. "The're's nothing," said Mrs. McKerrel, who keeps the boarding-house up on North Hill, "that puts the borders in such a good humor as nice, tender, roast goose." "Ah, yes," replied the scholarly book agent, waiting for an invitation to stay to dinner. "a soft anser turneth away wrath." Our educational institutions are looking up. Last year an Illinois college employed nine agents and kept them on the wing all the time, at an aggregate expense of $46,000, to raise $30,000 to pay off an old debt. As the agents only raised about $850, the college has been obliged to get a little extension, say thirty days, on its paper. How often, oh, how often we find a man who will pay eleven dollars for a box of cigars without a question or a moment's hesitation, who will contract his brows and start back in speechless horror and stare for ten straight minutes at the item, "To one piece of dress braid, ten cents," in a dry goods bill that his trembling wife hands him. The thousand and one rain storms we have had every day since spring raised her umbrella, have had one good effect; they are driving the tramps out of this part of the State, for there is nothing your tramp detests so cordially as water. There are very few of them left now. A few are seen from day to day, a stray lecturer now and then, or something of that kind, but not near so many as there were during the winter. "Oh, great and mighty Sire," exclaimed the courier, kneeling before the emperor, "Boss of the Rugged Steppes, King Bulldozer of the Ice fields of the North, Majestic Glacier and Eternal Ice burg, with an Icicle on your Nose a Rod long, the correspondent of the Chicago Times said"— "Off with his said" roared the indignantemperor. "The next thing I know the whole army will be demoralized by these lying paragraphers." And the black-velled executioner brought forth the demijohn and placed it in awful readiness upon the dirksenpiedel. Even some very great men are very slow to receive impressions. That excellent man, William E. Dodge, President of the National Temperance Society, Conch-shell Buttons. It was possibly during his stay in New York in 1789 that Washington began to wear on his coat the conch-shell buttons, now in possession of Captain Lewis's daughter. A new fashion in dress, introduced by a president, is worthy of record, especially when there is an interesting story connected with it. This story, related by Robert Lewis, illustrates two strikingly characteristic traits of Washington—generosity and economy. A needy sailor with a wheelbarrow of shells accosted the General on the street, and holding up a number of conch-shells, implored him to buy them. Washington listened with sympathy to the story of his sufferings and want, and kindly replied that he would buy them if he could in any way make use of them. Necessity perhaps sharpened the sailor's wits, and he promptly suggested that they would make lovely buttons for his velvet coat. The General doubtless smiled at the ingenious proposal, but agreed to try them. Carrying home his ocean treasure of pink shells, he sent for a button maker to know if he could manufacture a useful article out of the pretty playthings with which he found himself encumbered. The workman replied he could make the buttons if he could find an instrument sharp enough to pierce them. Washington would have nothing useless about him, and so the shells were delivered to the manufacturer, who in due time returned them to him in the shape of concave buttons, a little larger than a quarter of a dollar, with a silver drop in the centre hiding the spot where the eye is fastened beneath. The President then astonished the republican court by appearing in a coat with pink conch-shell buttons sparkling on its dark velvet surface. Eighty years ago, it seems, fashion ruled in the hearts, or over the costumes, of men and women, just as it does now—for Captain Lewis bears testimony that conch-shell buttons immediately became the rage. The shell vendors' and button makers' fortunes were made by the General's passion for utilizing everything that came into his possession.—Scribner's Monthly.

EMPEROR, "Boas of the Rugged Steppes, King Bulldozer of the Ice fields of the North, Majestic Glacier and Eternal Ice burg, with an Icicle on your Nose a Rod long, the correspondent of the Chicago Times said"— "Off with his said!" roared the indignant emperor. "The next thing I know the whole army will be demoralized by these lying paragraphers." And the black-veiled executioner brought forth the demijohn and placed it in awful readiness upon the dirksenpiedel. EVEN some very great men are very slow to receive impressions. That excellent man, William E. Dodge, President of the National Temperance Society, was a member of the Union League club in New York for many years, and always thought it was a strictly teetotal organization until a few days ago. And here Mr. Dodge has been going dry as a fish all these years, and just aching for a chance to get behind a door and have a pull at somebody's pocket pistol, when all the time he might have had anything he wanted by calling for it. Tell ye, brethren, a man loses a heap of good things by not asking for 'em. WANT OF MONEY.—Many a wife whose husband is in good circumstances, is continually in want of money, because her husband is too thoughtless, or too mean, to keep her purse supplied. A lady said to us: "I have lain awake half the night, dreading the stern necessity of asking my husband for money the next day." Another said: "If I were absolute mistress of even the paltry sum of one hundred dollars a year, so that I could spend it without feeling responsible to anybody, I should feel that a great weight had been lifted off me." How would a man feel if he were compelled to ask somebody when he wanted a new hat, or coat or a pair of shoes? Not very happy. Yet he compels his wife to endure this trial. A woman who does her share of work for the family, and by careful management and contriving adds to the common fund, is entitled to her share of the profits, and the division should be justly and cheerfully made by the masculine head of the firm, as with any other partner. If women were so recognized and trusted, many whose souls are now tormented about the vexed question of their "rights" would be contented, happy "keepers at home." NORFOLK, Va., shipped to the Northern cities last season 5,000,000 head of cabbages. The crop was unusually large. Hence the extraordinary augmentation of the number of five-cent cigars thrown upon the market. A LOAFER.—The irreclaimable loaf is a character well known in every county, great or small. He is the greatest bore in the universe. He never pay his way. He is always asking favors. He comes just at the time he is not wanted, and asks for that which you are most loth to part with. He has a cunning tongue and an unflinching eye. He can lie by the rule. He knows all your weak spots, and he spreads his flattery with a liberality unbounded. He never takes a cut direct, or if he does, you never know it. He is full of patience and overflows with perseverance. "No" is no bar to him. That insurmountable mon-yillable is no obstruction, no discouragement—it simply rouses him to greater exertions. He knows how to fight his battle, not so much by fighting as by tiring you out. That game wins when all others fail. He tires money out of your pocket. Every one knows him; for he has borrowed from everybody and everybody has trusted him two or three times. It is the same old excuse: "In a terrible hurry this morning, and came off without my pocket-book." You should know he lies, as no one forgets his pocket-book. He has a package at the express office, and he wants sixty cents until to-morrow, and he smiles continually. He will not take no for an answer. He will talk to you, coax you, plead with you; and if you finally give him the money, you feel that you have parted with it forever. What should be done with such a man? TAKE hold of duties pleasantly. Walk side by side with gentleness, courtesy and true love for your fellow beings. Never tease or taunt; no good comes of it, and your taunts may be remembered with resentment for years. Let the whole of your life be mapped out carefully, with the view of making the best possible use of it, and foster a love for honorable industry with an eye open toward steady savings for future benefit. IT is estimate faithful, laid up will be given the war, amounts to million dollars enough to buy tractor's wife. The East India Civil Service. Mr. E. O. Graves, a prominent Washington official, for years active in advancing the cause of civil service reform in the United States, describes in Seribner "How it was done in Great Britain." We quote as follows: The competitive system was applied to the East India civil service at a much earlier day than to that of the mother country. An act of Parliament, passed in 1854, provided for examinations for admission to the civil service of the East India Company. A committee, of which Lord Macaulay was chairman, submitted a plan on which the examinations should be conducted. The scheme provided for a competitive examination of a very severe and extended character for admission to Haileybury College—an institution for the education of persons for the East India civil service—and for a pass examination after an interval of from one to two years of the successful candidates in the competitive examinations. Haileybury College was abolished in 1855 on the recommendation of the India Board and the successful candidates were allowed to study where they chose, but the general feature of Lord Macaulay's plan were carried out, and are still in force. The examinations are open to all natural-born subjects of Great Britain, presenting the requisite evidence of age, health and character. The competitive examination is of a general nature and embraces, among other subjects, ancient and modern languages, literature and history, mathematics, pure and mixed, natural science, moral science and the Sanskrit and Arabic languages and literature. The number of selected candidates has varied from 20 to 80 according to the needs of the service. The subsequent pass examinations are devoted more particularly to the history and geography of India, Sanskrit, the vernacular languages of India, law, and political economy—to the study of which the selected candidates are expected to devote themselves during the interval between the two examinations. Those who are found qualified are entitled to be appointed in the East India civil service. The first competitive examination was held in July, 1855, and others followed in 1856 and 1857. These were held under the direction of the India Board, with the assistance of the civil service commission—the commission relieving the board from trouble but not from responsibility. In 1858 an act was passed California Military Academy. There is probably not another school on this coast which occupies a field no exclusive and remote from rivalry as this one, nor could another one meet the requirements which the California Military Academy so amply fills, because it combines the fullest intellectual and moral culture with the complete development of the physical man as well. It is surprising that often from the most humble and modest beginning great developments are made and grand objects accomplished. A brief review of the history of this Academy is an illustration. The Rev. David McClure, who is the present principal founded this institution in 1855 as a private school with a membership of 19 pupils, intended to limit this number to 20 as the maximum. The superiority of his system of instruction, which combined military discipline with a full collegiate course of studies, was soon acknowledged, and so numerous were the applications for admission, that Dr. McClure consented to enlarge his establishment, employ assistants and give the youth of the remote West an opportunity to acquire an education such as could not otherwise be obtained. The school was at this time located on Ninth street, near Franklin, Oakland, to which a roomy addition was built the first year after the founding of the school. The number of cadets constantly increased, and in 1867 the present site of the Academy was purchased by Dr. McClure, and the following year the fine main building was finished, and the school removed thereto. In '68 armory, a two-story building, was erected, but a year later, in '70, it was found to be insufficient for the accommodation of its increasing patrons, and another large building, three stories high, 75x150 feet, was built, connected with the armory by a covered passage 20 feet wide. The first floor was used for recitation rooms, and the two upper floors as dormitories for the cadets. A destructive fire occurred on the 20th of September, 1873, which completely destroyed the elegant new building; the armory, barns and other out-houses, inflicting a serious loss upon the proprietor, as the insurance upon the buildings burned was very small. The main building occupied also as the residence of Rev. Mr. McClure, upon which there was a heavy insurance, was saved intact. Nothing daunted by this calamity Dr. McClure immediately set to work to have the destroyed buildings rebuilt, the school in the meantime, occupying the building then recently vacated by the State University, which was kindly placed at Dr. McClure's disposal by President Gilman, and no interruption to the regular course of studies occurred. Very soon the elegant new buildings, much larger and finer than the first, took place of those destroyed, and in the incredibly short space of two months' time were finished, furnished and ready for occupancy. The object of the institution is not to educate students exclusively for a military career, but to impart such knowledge, in connection with instruction in the manual of arms, as will fit them for any position in civil life as well. The time devoted to military drill does not encroach upon study hours, but occupies time annually given to recreation and... The Staked Plains. The plains extend eastward from the Pecos river in New Mexico and constitute a large portion of western Texas. The Pecos seems to have cut its way through the western border of this tableland. The hills rise abruptly from the river until the surface of the plain is gained. That is the highest point, and the surface slopes gently to the east. No tributaries flow into the Pecos from the east. The water which falls on the plains flows eastward, and forms many rivers of Texas. It is an unknown land, boundless and endless. There is a legend connected with the name. It is said that in the early settlement of Mexico, a party of miners discovered extensive silver mines on the eastern border of the plains, and in order to find their way back they drove stakes at intervals along their route, hence the Llano Estacado, or Staked Plain. But little is known of this region, although many have traversed it, particularly Mexicans, for the purpose of hunting buffalo, or trading with the Indians. The gentle depression in the plains on the eastern border increase into more pronounced valleys, as the traveller pursues his journey eastward, until the waters have cut their way through the strata of rocks and flow in deep and rugged canons, from the bottom and sides of which innumerable springs of sparkling water burst forth. These springs form the permanent head-waters of Texas. They are often strongly impregnated with salts from the rocks and sulphuric acid from the vast beds of gypsum underlying the surface. The plains break down the eastern border in perpendicular descents of from 400 to 1,000 feet. The outline is most irregular. The rainfall on these plains must be great, as all the important rivers of Texas have their source there. The canons of the rivers are generally heavy timbered and afford shelter for the Indians and for game. The surface is covered with flourishing grasses, and lakes and streams of fresh water abound. These plains will be the geography of India, Sanskrit, the vernacular languages of India, law, and political economy—to the study of which the selected candidates are expected to devote themselves during the interval between the two examinations. Those who are found qualified are entitled to be appointed in the East India civil service. The first competitive examination was held in July, 1855, and others followed in 1856 and 1857. These were held under the direction of the India Board, with the assistance of the civil service commission—the commission relieving the board from trouble but not from responsibility. In 1858 an act was passed making it the duty of the civil service commissioners to conduct the examinations for the East India civil service, and recognizing and defining the duties of the commission. From that time to this the examinations have been conducted by the commissioners with the most satisfactory results. The East India civil service is of the highest intelligence, character, and ability, and it owes these qualities to the application of the competitive system of selection in its broadest and highest form. The object of the institution is not to educate students exclusively for a military career, but to impart such knowledge, in connection with instruction in the manual of arms, as will fit them for any position in civil life as well. The time devoted to military drill does not encroach upon study hours, but occupies the time usually given to recreation, and which is so often wasted or abused by the scholar. Though its military training is not an exclusive feature, the Academy ranks with other military schools in the United States, and has been recognized by the Government, and furnishes arms for use of the cadets. The uniform dress worn by students, which is cheaper and more durable than ordinary civilians' dress, is another commendable improvement over other schools, in this, that it avoids all those invidious and sometimes mortifying distinctions in the style and quality of garment, observable where rich and poor men's sous dress according to means. The rules relating to punctuality, good behavior and personal cleanliness are strictly enforced, the honor and pride of the cadet being constantly appealed to. There is an inspection of face, hands, boots and clothes of each cadet on assembling to march to breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. The use of tobacco, intoxicating drinks, profanity, vulgarity, lying, desertion, etc., are causes for expulsion, and no applicant is received as a cadet who is morally bad, as the institution is not designed to reform vicious boys and young men, and all pernicious influences are carefully excluded. An applicant who has been expelled from another school for cause is not received into this. The principal says it is his aim to make an academy where the best culture may be secured to trustworthy students. The Academy embraces two departments: I. Preparatory Course—Extending through three years of elementary instruction in English studies. Boys under twelve years of age are received in this department. II. Academic Course—Extending through four years, affording a thorough preparation for the State University, or any Eastern College, or for business pursuits. Young men under twenty-two years of age received in this department. The Academy is one of the best educational institutions in the country, and one of which Oaklanders feel proud, because located in their midst, and such a one as does credit to the Pacific Coast—S.
