Sham Civil Service Reform. f Uwi.vvto', Sept. 18 Secretary Sherman said to-dav that ho intended to go to Ohio to cast- his vote in the election ncit October. He added that he intended to allow the Ohio clerks to go home and vote. They will not be given the usual section leave, however, but just enough (ioio to allow them to spend election dav st their homes. Clerks desiring to go hutne to- exercise the great privilege of rating are required to maiie lormal anpu cation to the Secretary. It is understood tiat no clerk will be obliged to go, .but ilic vcrv fact that Sherman himself is -ir.g and has given permission to clerks to go, will amount to as much jiressure r.s anJerZacb Chandler's management. This, ilia tho permission for clerks to pay po iueal assessments, show plainly that the t'oonus already. '.worn off from tne new ti;l service reform. The Strike at Scranton. Siiaktox. Sept. 18.

Lippitt that the excursion proposed by him for last Monday, but which was ..postponed on account of the weather, will take place next Wednesday, provided the weather is favorable. "She wouldn't sit to have a tooth pulled for one million two hundred thousaud dollars,, she said, and yet she walked Front street in tiny gaiters two seizes too small for her, and thought nothing of it; but then nobody saw that tooth, and- sev eral saw the gaiter. YestcTda3r a tramp who .had evidently been indulging in the - "ardent" stopped one of our citizens, took eff his hat, smoothed back his hair from a f.ice that looked as hungry as a consumptive kitten, and said, "My friend, this world is full of disappointments ; we know not how soon we may fall by the wayside. I feci that I have only a few days more to stay and I wish you would lend, me fifteen cents to. get a dish of nork'and greens." The citi zen replied: "Is that the fire .alarm?

Mashhurn, men tioned in the Review of yesterday's date as having been' found at the foot ot Prin cess street, night before iast,?by the police, turns out to be a box which was reohip ped by Mr. Mashburn from Angola b3 the steamer Colo'Hc to Sol. Bear & Bros., and was either forgotten or neglected to be hauled to-the -store of the Messrs. Bear before night, and so accordingly was dis covered by the police on Wednesday night. This is all we know about it. personal. We had the pleasure of meeting to-day with Mr. Washington Catiett, who; is to assist Maji Burgess in the conduct of the Cape Fear Military Academy. Mr. Cat iett, Maj. Burgess informs u?, has s vine six years experience in teaching the young idea how to shoot which no dyubt qualifies him for the role he is about to assume here, " Liet, J. L. Mast, who has been stationed at Smitliville for some past time and who was left in command m the .government property when Col. Pennington and com mand were ordered to Pittsburgh ' to assist in quelling the latconpleasantness' has been ordered to join his command at Pittsburgh. Lieut. A. I). Schcuck of the seoon'd Artillery, has been sent to relieve Lieut. Mast, but at; the. latter named gen tleman has quaffed the waters of the famed Rock Spring, it is to be hoped that they will some day extend their magnetic in fluences over him . Lieut. Mast's many friends iu this city and Smithville , will be loth to part with him , and will gladly welcome him back to "Smiffle." City Court. Ben Tucker, colored, arrested for dis orderly conduct night before last, and whose trial was postponed until to-day on account of the absence of witnesses, was arraigned this morning on the charge of beating his wife. From the C-:.ucCe adduced, however, it old not seem that Tucker was so awfully much to blame, whereupon the Acting .Mayor, dismissed the case with a reprimand to both parties. Spencer Standford was the next prisoner brought forward, charged with drunken ness, disorderly corduct and resisting a police officer. To all of which the de fendant did not demur, and offered no evidence in rebuttal cf the testimony made against him J The poor devil, however, seemed deep ly penitent and said that it was the d whiskey and not Spencer Standford that had done all this. He then went on to state that he had been working in tbe water all day yesterda-, and that the gentleman whom hq had been working for bought some whiskey and gave him some and that .the first thing he knew after that was that ho was in the guard house, a The Mayor pro temp, pronounced sen tence of ten dollars or ten days' imprison ment. There being no further business the court adjourned. The "Charity Bandle" is the latvst. It is a silver band linked with a chain, to which a bell is attached. The bell is cou- strutted so as to hold small coins. The Office Saloon. Mr. W. M. Collins has renewed his lease on the building, ani will continue to cater to the wants of the public at the favorably know n Office Saloon. He has mado'wno vations and improvements and will pre sent the choisest delicacies f in fish, flesh and fowl throughout the Fall and Winter. He has on hand to-day the first New River oysters of tho season and these will be served up in any style deilred. "Not Guilty." We understand that Theophilus Sugg was duly tried at this term of Superior Court for Columbus county, for the mur der of B . il. Watkins, on tho ITlh day.of September, 1863. It" will be remembered that this case was spoken of in the, Re view last week, i The Jury took the case on Tuesday night and after having been out for about a ' half hour, returned with a verdict of not guilty. . Withdrawn. The steamer Colcille, Capt. Henry, which has been plying betwecn,here and Bahnermaa s Bridge, on the North East river, for some time past, has been with drawn from that line, owing to the fact, as we are informed, that the ownership of the steamer has changed hands. As to her next probable route we are not in formed. But as we have only two water routes between here and the up-country we presume, if it is not one, why it will of course be the other. Pay your money and take vour choice. I The Public Schools. The School Boards of the 1st and 2nd Districts, comprising the township of Wilmington, met at the rooms of the County Commissioners yesterday after noon, and made . the necessary arrange mcnts for taking the! school census of Wilmington. Mr. Wm. M. Hayes was appointed to take the census for the 1st District and Mr. Samuel N. Cannon for the 2d District The census will comprise all children between the ages of six and twenty-one years of age. The Boards adjourned to meet again on Monday afternoon next, when the teachers for the ensuing year will be appointed Scribners for October. A paper of unusual interest in Scribncr for October, is entitled "A Yankee Tar and his Friends," and is written by Mrs. M. F. Armstrong. It consists of a sketch of the friendship of Capt. E. E. Morgan, of a Xew York packet, with many of th Ejnglish artists and litterateurs of the last generation, inducing Dickens, Thackeray, Turner, Sydney Smith, Doyle, Rogers, Landseer and many others. There are also reprints of two caricatures by Doyle, and of f ome of the sketches made at the famous London Sketching Club, of which Capt. Morgan was mado the sole honorary member. Another illustrated paper is a discussion of dress, from an artistic stand point, and under the title of "Togas and Toggery." Numerous illustrations are given with this paper, and a dozen more are devoted to Wm. H. Ridcing's descrip tion of "How New York is Fed," tho meat, fruit, fish, and oyster markets receiving the chief attention. A biographical sketch of Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, by F. E. Heath, is accompanied by a faithful por trait, from a crayoa fckctch by Wyatt Eaton, bt Vroolf, the caricaturist, has a little poem witn a drawing of his own. An illustration is given each of the serials, Miss Trafton's "His Inheritance" and Dr. Holland's "Nicholas Minturri the latter giving way to Eggleston's new story, "Rosy w hich begins in the No vember number. Mrs. Herrick's paper of fop ular. science is on "The Polyzoa and the cuts are, as usual, from her draw ings on the block. The short story of the number ("June" Chantry") is by James T.

NO. 208 A Sea Tramp Mr. Clemens (Mark Twain) in a letter to the .Hartford Courant thinks that he has solved the mystery of the bark Jonas Smith, recently reported by us as spoken off Lockwood's Folly, He was on a voyage1 from Bermuda, May 25, 1877, on the steamship Bermu Lx. The bark Jonas Smith was spoken with a signal if distress flying. She was ten days out from Bermuda, having left there for New York with five days' provisions for a crew , of about fifteen colored men. A boat with three men came to the steamer and. got a supply of beef, potatoes and Sea biscuit, The facts about the vessel's history and crew, ay told Mr. Clemens, are as follows : "One of the three mcu who came to us in the boat was Captain and owner bf.thc vessel. 4 We questioned hinf freely, and all that he said was confirmed af terwards by three of. our passengers who knew all abont the matter. The poor old tub had been condemned officially in Bermuda and sold at auction; and qucer ly enough, not as a whole, but piecemeal, as one may say. For instance, one man bought the topmasts and all the sails, I think; another bought an anchor; another such odds and ends as skylights and such things; and this colored man bought what was left, viz: the empty hulk and the stumps of the fore and main masts. He paid 42 for his bargain. Then he bought three old rags and made one do duty as a spencer on the mainmast, another as a jib and a third as a sort of flying jib or jib-stay-sail, which ever you please to call it. These had become rags indeed when we saw them, and practically appropriate to the wandering, food soliciting, ocean tramp which the poor old outcast had been all these months that have since dragged by. V One of our passengers said that the new owner of this solemn prop erty was offered a sufficiency of ballast for his purposes for 25, but he was not able to afford it, and so went to sea in all his perilous emptiness. His idea w as to take the creature to New York and sell her at a profit, either as a coaster or to be broken up. We did not hear of Tan3T white man being on board, but of courso there may have been one (I don't mean that Portu guese) but there were fifteen colored men at first, if I remember rightljv I asked Capt.Angrovehow he could account for that extraordinary crew, when five men would have been more than enough; He said it was easily explained. It was a great thing for those colored islanders to . go abroad and see the world ; that without doubt their only pay was their pleasure excursion. So this four-months horror ia a pleasure excursion. Imagine that. I said I should think that unless the winds were very favorable these rags would not enable the hulk to overcome ocean cur rents; that when she struck the Gulf Stream she might be carried south ; that the provisions would soon run out again; and so, taking all things into considera tion, that the crew might be looked on as doomed, perhaps ; but Capt. Angrovc said that their main trouble would be their danger of gettin2 out of the track of vessels ; if they could manage to keep in that they could borrow food and water, and extend their excursion, indefinitely Mr. Clemens gives an extract froni h dairy of May 25, with full details of doubt that meeting the ship, leaving no hia "Tramp of the Sea" has now been four months out from Bermuda,' and is now further from her destination than when she started. This is well enough as, far as it goes, and may prove the correct version of the affair, but we cannot understand how, if Mr. Clemens is correct, the vessel could have had a cargo of ice in her when off Lock wood's Folly, and bound from Boston to Savannah. It is probable that the schoon er reached Boston and took in her crago on which there was most likely a vey heavy insurance. The vessel was certain ly heavy loaded, may-be with ice, may be with water,) when she was ppokea ctl this coast. - . . . Anotker Freshet There were very heavy rains in the upper sections of the Cape Fear river yesterday and night before last and the consequence is another freshet in the river. The recent riso was 25 feet but this had commen ced to fall off when the present-, freshet came. , The river is rising rapidly and it is feared that it may get high enough to overflow the low lands in Bladen county and thus injure the magnificent crops of corn now growing there. The People Want Proor There is no medicine prescribed by physicians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtcre of Boschee's Gehhax Sraup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or. any disease of the Throat and Lungs.
