CIVIL “VIC‘ IIPOBI.
It is probable that few people realize the
unplet revolution in the civil service of
the cavalry which the reform bill lately
lined by Confirm-s will inaugurate if it be
My cultured. It will give merit some
”3 of m against unnnce and cun-
a‘q is the struggle for ofice. It will won-
derfully increase the emciency of the public
mice. It will accomplish more than any
other m that has ever been devised
:nwanls purifying politics. L
the of its provisions is to the cti‘ect that
all applicants for public omens shall pass a
that-rm examination regarding their quali-
fications That our civil servicc has been
filled with incompetent men has long been a
disgrace to our government. The fault lay
not so much with the Executive, whom the
public has been accustomed to hold respon-
sible for the disgrace. as with the system bv
which they haw: been appointed; but now.
under the new regulations, if a grossly in»
capable [rem-m procurcs a responsible posi.
lion the board of cxuminrttion will be ac.
nmntablc.
Another rule provides that the superior of-
liver shall be responsible for the fidelity of
their subordinates in places of great pecuni-
ary trust. This will greatly increase the
caution of the chief officcrs of government
in accepting the servicts of subordinates,
and increase also their vigilance in the exe—
cution of their trusts; and by keeping out of
the service irresponsmlc parties it will make
mom for men of integrity and worth.
One of the moat wholesome provisions is
one [inhibiting any political taxes being
levied upon pvemmcnt clerks. This is an
abuse that has grown to such magnitude that
many cures have become almost absolutely
wot-title. to baa: men, and are only filled
by W men who are prompted to
steal enough from the government to cover
the robbery which the government perpe
irate: apon them
Other rules provide for a probationary
term, regulate prmnotion, make provision
for ”grown old in the service, and offer
may other inducements to faithfulness and
competence.
The best of all this is that it breaks down
what is known as oflicial patronage. It
takes the gift of omce out of the hands of
successful politicians, whose election to high
00m and whose tenure of power hive been
so long founded upon pledges of reward.
and gives it to a board of examination who
can be held responsible for its proper use.

Statistics have lately been published in
foreign medical journals establishing the
beneficial efi‘ect of marriage upon longevity.
From twenty~five to thirty years of age the
mortality per one thousand in France,
amounts to 6.2 in married men, 10.2 in bach-
elors, and 21.8 in widowers. In Brussels the
mortality of married women is 9 per one
thousand, girls the same, and widows 16.9.
In. Bollard from 8.2 in married men it rises
to _ll.7in bachelors and 16.9 in widower-a.
The result of all calculations made is that
from twenty-five to thirty years of age the
mortality per one thousand is 4 in married
men, 10.4 in bachelors, 22 in widower-s. The
beneficial influence of marriage is mifest—

CORRESPONDENCE.
Flteh’a lion-o.
Datum, Jim. ‘23. 1872.
To the Editor of the Sentinel.
Will you please give a place in the 55.le-
NEL to state that the Concert given at South
Norwalk was a success, although the storm
doubtless prevented many from attending.
One hundred and twentwflve dollars was
the result of the Concert, and J. B. Hoyt, of
Stamford, gave to the Matron ten dollars
towards paying the car fare, making one
hundred and thirty-five dollars in all. Our
expenses are light, but will probably be not
far from sixty dollars. Thanks are due the
Methodist Episcopal Society, that so kindly
opened their doors to us; also to Prof. Gib-
son and Miss Potter, who willingly imparted
of their talents without money and price for
the benefit of the Home and the pleasure of
the audience; and to the several editors that
kindly gave the [Iotnc a word of encourage-
ment.
Lest there be some misunderstanding as
regards outlays, will note what has come to
our knowledge: Car fare, $11.40; Mr. Weed
for piano, $15.00; horse hire, $10.00; for
little girls' photographs, $7.50; printing,
$11.00; total, $54.90.

Yours, M. J. DAVIS.
The bill for horsc hire included the charge
for a team several times in arranging for

Are we to become - NltIon of Gam-
blcn.
It certainly looks like it. The training of
our youth is steadily in that (litection; the
example of prominent men favor it; the
schemcs of trade foster the passions: and,
worst of all, many churches, with the con-
sent and active co-npcmtion of their pastors,
give it it sort of religious sunct ion. Have
our good people considered this matter, in
its hearings on the morals of the community]?
Have they considered the consequences
which flow inevitably from the indulgence
of this passion 9 Suppose we all turn gam-
blcrs, no man; earning anvthing by productive
industry but every one living on his luck in
gambling ; whence would come our supplies?
Who would raise our grain, fat our pork
and beef, raise our wool, make our clothes?
Is it not manifest at a glance that a nation
of gamblers could not exist? Universal
gambling would be universal ruin !
This being self-evident. it follows inevi-
tably that all gambling tends to ruin. It robs
somebody of the means of living. No mat-
ter what the form or manner of the game,
in all cases of successful gambling somebody
is robbed; his money is taken without com~
pensation.L You draw a prize in a lottery,
say ten thousand dollars. You have the
the price of one thousand ten dollar tickets
which others have bought, and for which
each has drawn a blank. You rob a thou-
