Origin of tba GiTil Service Law Baltimore Bud, A correspondent is informed that the civil service law owes its exist ence to the exertions of the late Senator PendletoD, Democrat, of Ohio. It was he that secured the enactment cf the law during the revulsion of feeling against the spoils system that followed the assassination of President Garfield, of Ohio. Gniteau, the assassin, became excited over the ConkliDg Piatt contest with President Gar field about the distribution of the offices in New York, and it was felt at Washington, after the as sassination, that something should be done to abate the scandal of officomongering after each presi dential election. Senator Pendle ton conducted the ciyil service bill through the Senate and secured its success. President Arthur first applied it, extending it to about 15,000 Federal offices. Its appli cation was enlarged by Presidents Cleveland and Harrison chiefly tho former till now, with Presi dent McKinley's recent extension, it includes nearly the whole civil service to which it can be conven iently applied.

"Yer would, would ye, yer chuck leheaded salt horsey If yer was wanst on the plankin' of the bridge IM mop the flure with the ugly carcass an' bang yer up ter dry on the truss." "Shut up, you animated slush bucket. For two braw bras3 pins Pd send my cabin boy up to feed distillery hogs with your remsins, you chop snooted son-o a-gun." "Ayrah ye bandy-legged horse marine, I've a big notion tor drop down off uv the bridge an' maul ye ter a pulp." "Well why don't you drop," sneered the captain. "Just drop and I'll feed fishes with you." "Yer a lyn' skip-jack.'- You're a red-nosed sc&vanger with blue mold and cock eye. I'm going to tie up just above here and I'll give you a lively old interview when I get ashore." "It is tie up yer goin' ter be after doiu'?" inquired the bridge tender, anxiously.
