The Efficacy of Prayer. It is now related that a preacher of Decatur, | Illinois, who had been totally blind for sixteen | years, and who had appealed in vain to the best | medical talent for relief, finally concluded to | try the efficacy of prayer. He prayed long and | earnestly, and “in one moment his sight was | restored to him.” A brother preacher who tells | the story withholds the man’s name, ‘to save f the feelings of the family,” from which it may | be inferred that the knowledge that he has re- | covered his sight is very harrowing to their feelings. This reminds us of a somewhat simi- Jar case which occurred at a camp meeting in the state of New York a few years ago. Among | the most devout attendants was a young lady | who for over two years had suffered from a pul- monary disease which had deprived her of the power of speech except in whispers. During the progress of one of the evening ser- vices special prayers were offered for the restoration of her speech, when the young Jady suddenly arose and rent the air with loud shouts of thanksgiving fer the mira- cle which had been performed upon her. It is needless to say that this startling episode produced a profound sensation, and was the direct canse of a number of conversions. ‘The officiating clergymen had no hesitation in pronouncing it a miracle, and used it as a pow- €rful illustration of the efficacy of prayer; but the physicians, upon being consulted, stated that similar cases under ordinary circumstances were not uncommon, and that the cause was | purely physical, and resulted from the rupture, | occasioned by straining, of certain abnormal | obstructions in the throat. They further said | that the disease with which the young lady was) afilicted was wholly incurable, and that her | death would be hastened by the recovery of her | speech. Whether the theologians or the physi- cians were right we shall not attempt to decide, but in less than three months the young lady | Slept ‘the sleep that know= no waking.” ssee- Since the assembling of the civil service ad- | visory board in this city the time has been oc- | cupied in an informal discussion relating to the | working of the new system in the different | departments of the government. Yesterday the board commenced the consideration of such modifications of the civil service rules as expe- rience has demonstrated to be judicious, and are called for by the best interests of the gov- ernment. Having had a full interchange of views with the President and the members of bis Cabinet, the board will probably embody in the modifications such suggestions received from the former as are not incompatible with aheir own convictions in regard to the civil ser- vice. At the late special Cabinet meeting to consider changes in the rules, several heads of departments laid particular stress upon the fact that in examinations for promotions inad- equate weight is given to the recommenda- tion of heads of bureaus relative to the ef- ciency of certain competitors. It has always been held by most of the heads of bureaus that their particular preference should receive special consideration, and that the party recommended by them should start out in a competitive exam- ination from thirty to fifty per cent. ahead of all other competitors. This mode in nine cases out of ten would of course result in the success of the favorite of the head of the bureau. Whether such 4 provision in the rules is ad visa- bie or not. it is so strenuously insisted upon that the Civil Service Advisory Board will doubtless modify the rules accordingly. They will also change the character of examinations for pro- | motion, making them less scholastic and more | practical. This is a sensible moditication, and | will doubtless secure more clerical efficiency > than is obtainable under present circumstances. | Besides this change, and the establishment of a Ee system of equitable apportionment of clerks | from the different states and territories, the beard will do but little during its present ession. | +10-- pnt Itisafact pretty generally known that the | far western people “don't go much” on the North American Indian. The Rev. Henry M. | Baum, rector of St. Matthew's Church, Lara- mie City, Wyoming, recently preached a ser- | mon on the Indian question, which so delighted | his congregation that they caused it to be | SR! printed for dissemination in the states farther | east. The reverend gentleman took for his text: | “And Joseph made it alaw over the land,” | ‘and argued that the Indians should be held as strictly accountable to the laws as are the peo- ple of all other races in the United States. Says the Rey. Mr. Baum: “If a farmer or miner kills an Indian in self-defence, he must | be put on trial for murder. If the Indian kills the farmer or miner, he returns to his tribe and isreckoned among them a brave.” He gives the remedy for our Indian troubles in the fol- lowing language: “When are made to earn their livelihood the same as other men; when the judges of our | civil courts shall be made La mye of Indian wrongs and outrages, then Indian agencies and | talks snent ——— will cease, and i In- dian bs 4 Indian. @ peaceable she Church will be able to accomplish her work, and they will become citizens. * * The American f relat pam right to arms, provisions, clothing and reserva- tions than we have, until they have earned them. And we cannot expect that they will earn them as long as they are giventhem. At present, and under the circumstances, it re- amains for those who ar brought in contact | with them, to teach them their place, ic! will teach the government a lesson as well.” ee The legislature of Michigan has appointed a board of fish commissioners and given them $15,000 for the next ten years, for the purpose of making €xperimentsin the artificial propagation | Of fish. While nearly all the states in the Union, | and the national government as well, are taking measures to ate fish or to Prevent their extinction, it would be well for our legislature to act promptly on the bill now | before them, which will check gill-net fishing | in the Potomac, and thus put « stop to the war of extermination on shad, which has nearly driven them all from the river. see: The public baths im New York are to be opened on Sunday next.
