Some of the Posers Candidates for! Watchmen Must Auswer, Baby Comels and Eight Sheet Fosters SamvelJ. Tliden and SusanB. An thony--Plckaninnies and Wa termelons--Hour and Minute Hands Morning Jonnal The first candidate who to th civil service examination forcustom hous watchmen and letter carriers yesterda was an old man of ninoty-five years, H carried a primer under his arm, a Wel ster’s spell‘ng-hook in his cont pocket, a first part of arithmetic, a second geography and a tenth part of hookk ing were in a newspaper bundle which 12 lugd in his hand He hobbled into the elevator on the Park Row side of postoftice, apd went up to the Hoor, rupwun-' the multiplication table and mumbling over the tributaries to the Amazon as he rode. The sccond candidate was a blind man led by a d After him eame two tray- elers in linen dusters, who had just ar- rived fron d that they were passing ! toflice casually, when they saw a 1-] weard announcing that there was a civjl service examination go- ing on up-stairs, As they were “‘taking in” everything in the city they though they might as well take in a civil service examination. A tramp came next. He gave his tomato can to a confederate on the sidewalk. He mopped his brow with his coat tail. He got a paper collar from ar Ttalian who was sing by with a bag of rags, Then he inquired carefully of the man in charge of the cle its safety. i safe he stepped inside and sat down remarked npon eetting out that if tl vator had given way and he had be jured he would have sued the go for $100.000. The tramp gave his on his examination paper, which was an admirable one, as the Eighth Precinct Police Station and, requested that his lettors he forwarded with the direction, “if ot called for in ten days, send to Blackwell’s Island.” He told the exami- ner that he had slept in the City Hall Park for the last two ycars and would like a berth in the Custom House for a change. The reason he passed the best examination of all the candidates is believed to be because he spends all his time in the Astar Library, Some of the people who came up to the examination had their coats buttoned tightly ov dictionaries and various textbooks, and their cuffs annotated with comments on the questions which might probably be asked. Nearly all the candidates examin- ed wereintelligentand respectable looking men. About fifty presented themselves. The inguisition lasted from 9 o'clock in the morning until 3 in the afternosa. Many of the candidates got through be- fore noon while a few had answered all the questions they might within five minutes, their knowledge being limited. All sat at desks with the printed exami- nation papers, before them. — The ques- tions were 7,930. The prnl)]unm in arith- metic began with fractions and gradually arrived at such complicated questions as these: Assume that a camel in Forepaugh's circus at the age of two rs brings forth a baby camel, advertised in a triple sheet poster with four kinds of ink, and continues yearly to do the same, and that overy ‘one of her products brings forth a calf at the age of two years, and yearly ufterwards in like manner, how many would spring from the camel and produce in eighty years and how many eight sheet - posters would it take to bill every square mile of a circus route with them during the same time? A newspaper interviewer asked Samuel Tilden how old he was. The Sage of Greystone answered: If you take away 7h from my years and divide the mainder by 250 the quotient will be on third the age of Thomas Jefferson, but if you add four to the age of Susan B. ‘Anthony and multiply the whole by three times the age of Seneca, and then sub- tract seven from the age of Methuselah, you will have my age. What was the age of Samuel Tilden and how much older was he than Susan B. Anthony? Barren Island is a mile and a half in circumference. Three street commis- sioners start togother to walk around it luld in the same direction. Commissioner an walks five miles an hour, Com- missioner Stephen B. French, eight; and Chief Clerk Michael J. Murmmu three miles o day; when will they come aside of each other again, and when will Chief Clerk Morrison overtake the other two if he walks six munllm( If “‘Fiddler” Neary should run at the rate of twenty-three miles an hour, pur- sued by William E. Harding at aspeed of ono barley-corn a minute—supposing that the two should start simultaneously at Hoboken a hundred {yards apart at what point on the road to Fort Lee would Harding overtake Neary? If nine colored preachers and three colored “‘sisters” eat . forty-soven water- melons in four hours and five *'sisters” and three preachers eat twenty-nine watermelons of like size in five hours, how {many pickaninnies may eat 365 watermelons in eight days, osfuming th twenty byys can get outside of as m y melons as four preachers and six *‘sisters” and that the watermelons are from Goorgial 1f the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock start out at the same time, as- suming that they go from New York wwus New Haven,how far will the hour hand be when the mnmw hand gets to New Rochelle? The questions in history were more concise. The following are a few of them: Who was the man with the iron mask? Who wrote the letters of Junius? Give the birthplace of Homer. Give the burial place of Virgil, What were the causes of the Chin Lip rebellion in China, 4,000 years before Christ? Among the answers to the questions asked on United States history, was the information that Christopher Columbus was the first prosident of the United States, and u description of several cam paigns of the war of the Spanish Succes- sion, described as taking place in the northwestern territory within the limits of the present state of Ohio. One can- didate in his examination paper on geog- raphy described Texas as bounded on the north by the great lakes, on the south 1 New Mexico, on the west by the Pacifi Ocean, and on the east py Massachusetts Bay., In arithmetic the candidates were E. B. FELLOWS, UPHOLSTERER MATTRESS MANUPAOTURER, most accurate in fractions, both vulgar, bon-ton and jeuensse dorce. U — l(all Estate Transfers.

When christians serve their H nly Father it is not a blind service, God truly has a right to make His own laws, and to eall the attention of His subjects to those ex- isting laws, Ho is the King, and we are the subjects. Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of the law of God, and sin has made its abode on this once holy habitation. But what could God do otherwise than punish sin? Could a per- fectly holy being, who reigns with perfect laws all creation, admit persons who bave had unhallowed association to His dwell- ing place to live there forever? Would He niot rather remove every vestage of sin away wid then call them” away from the sccue of contest to dwell in peace and quictness! We look at all the workmanship of God and we think what a reasoner God must be, and we say also of His com- mands that they are reasonable com- mands. He calls upon His subjects everywhere to be holy, at work or at rest, at the office, at the desk or at home, But man, too often, looks at an ideal of manhood, or that which appears to him to be an ideal, and attempts to ren- der his life holy by following as ne possible the traits of character therein portrayed. But suppose this were car- ried to its fullest extent, each generation would take a lower ideal and a deteriora- tion would be the result. And a man cannot live a perfect moral life and then, on account of it, receive the blessings of Christ's righteousness, sooner than a man can exercise perfect care in regard to his health and maintain the same perfect health_after accidentally taking a large dose of poison. God has laws and man must obey them, and those laws refer to the workings of nature which we see about us, and they also refer to Christ who was at one time on earth, but who was crucified. When the appeal is made to the natur- al heart, the demand is not lawful, but God knows of and has pointed to the remedy. There may bo a stain upon a man's character, and in_after years by carefulness that evil deed may be almost | ¢ forgotten, still he is not as perfect as the one in whose life there can be seen no blemish, Still, he who can proudly look back on his past life and say, ‘‘Where can you find in me a cause for condemna- tion,” may come in the presence of God and receive no more beneflt than did the Pharisee, who was not_honored by God as much as the poor publican, whose very titlo was associated with robbery and wickedness, You may have a blameless life and you will truly have a reward for it, but that reward will be in this world and number with the days of your pil- grimage here. And there before the throne of God you would stand, having received every benefit according to your contract with your Heavenly Father. For God not_only looks at the outward actions, but he looks also at the thoughts and weighs each Have you, then, never spoken evil of your neighber which proven! {ave you always worshipped in the proper spirit_and not at the same time condemned God in your heart? 1 am afraid the man of moral fame has not taken the proper ideal; he has taken that, which like himself, is also human. A friend remarked to Michael Agnolo, ‘“Can you not rest satisfied,” after hehad portrayed the character of Moses as well as his artistic skill would per And the artist replied, *“If my ideal were higher, my work would have been great- er,” then you stand before God imperfect. Fool then that you are weak and that you have need of the same certificate of tho Holy Spirit, and fuwl also tho triumph which is obtained through the merits of Christ, who is the Redeemer, Giod is not only a righteous judge, buthe is also a father who pities his children, and because of this care He has prepared & way of escape, and that way of escape isby his Son, Jesus Chyist. The re- demption is through Christand Him only. Much dispute has avisen in reference to the relationbetween the atonement and the Heavenly Father, It is by this means that justice is satisfied, and through this atonement we approach the throne of ( And herein lies the Goddoes not call us to a liberty of sin, we have always that, but he from Sin calls us to a liberty wherein there is not sin.
