Wahhinotox, Feb. 10.—The thir
teenth annualfreport of the civil terv
lee commission, covering the past fiscal
year, has been submitted to the Presi
dent. It reviews the growth of the
government's civil service, the efforts
of the commission to eradicate parti
sanship in federal offices, and import
ant civil service reforms and extensions
contemplated.
The total approximate number of
positions in the civil service branch of
the government is 17H.717. Of these
87,107 are in the classiHed service and
91,010 unclassified. Of those not yet
classified are postmasters of the
fourth class. Of those remaining in
the ciussifiahle, but unclassified group,
many will be transferred to the class-
ified service by the action of the rules.
As to the tenure of office, the report
says, our administrative system now'
presents the anomaly of filling certain
Inferior positions by the test of merit
and changing every four years the
higher positions, l.ke collectors of c
touis and internal revenue, |>ostmast-
rs and chiefs of bureaus, in which
the largest capacity and longest ex-
perience are required, and thus fre
quently subjecting subordinates to in

riors. to the di morali/.alion of the
public service.
I he jL'raduul increase in the number
of presidential oiaces, it is asserted, is
bound to force a chance in ihe method
of filling them. There are now nearly
10,000 persons in the public service
ommissioned by the President, and
this is growing every year.
At this rate of increase, says the re-
port, in a few y>*us it will be physic-
ally imptvvsihlc i .«i* the President and
abinet officers to examine the pa,i
and hear argume.its and complaints
referring to the large number of per-
sons to be commissioned, ami the

HAVE proudly recorded,
in song and story, so far as
ability was given
me.the noble work,
^ heroic sacrifices,
* and grand cour-
age of our women
of the North, be-
fore, during, and
since the civil war.
I lack words to tell
how I glory in this
(?ran,l, loyal sis-
terhood, and if I
((row f lo juont uj)on any subject it
*'ould bo in regard to the immense val-
ue of their services, rendered at mar-
vr-like self-immolution, in behalf of
the men who, facing the foe, had yet
the easier task, and for the j i reserva-
tion of the 1'nion.
But tho women of the South were
not less enthusiastic and unselfish in
giving up all they held dear for what
they believed the right, and tho story
of one of these brave daughters of the
South is such a glorious exemplifica-
tion of true woman's wit and real
American "pluck" that we all can, es-
pecially as U reunited nation, take
pride iu her courage, her persistence,
and triumphs.
Ihe daughter of this brave woman
was a girl when her father left his
beautiful home in Des Arc, a small
town oil the White Hiver, in Arkansas,
to take part with the Confederates in
the war. Almost immediatclv after
the attack on Fort Sumter their sec-
tion was made a skirmishing ground
for the contending armies and a forag-
ing Held for Ik,th. Though the father
had made generous provision for his
family before departure, lie could not
foresee events,and the defenseless ones
left behind were soon stripi ed of all
their |Missossions by lawless bands call-
ing them solve s, as'they saw tit, "bush-
whackers" or "jayhaw Iters," sometime-,
one name, sometimes the other adopt
ing oitlior as ii would give them the
excuse of appeal ing as enemies of those
they plundered.
One day, a soldier on furlough rode
«p to the house and called: "Hull,,,:"
and the mother appeared, behind her
'vary animate being on the place,
•ager for news.
"Are you Mrs. -V lie asked
ahe reached Ihe gate.
"I am."
"Then, Mrs, , I h.wt «kn
news for you. Your husband
ing a human being, but while rejoicing
to see open country before tliein, some
one looked back and spiel two women
w alking behind tho wagon, knitting as
they tramped. Where thov came from
was a mystery, and though the wagon
was stopped and an attempt made lo
enter into conversation with them,
they could not bo made to talk. Sat-
isfied that they were spies, Mrs.
set about planning how to throw them
off the scent.
So soon as they reached the open
country she halted her wagon and be-
gan preparations for camping during
the night. The spies seated them-
selves at convenient distance to watch
proceedings. At one side of the road
w as an open field at the other a dry
creek bed concealed from sight bv a
thick grow th of underbrush aud trees.
The trailing women wai'ed until ,-atis-
fied that no further move would bo
made until morning, then they moved
off, knitting as they went, until a turn
in the road hid them from view.
When the commandcress of the ex-
pedition was sure the spies wore well
out of the Way she began to reconnoiter,
while tho others in the party repacked
the gisids, rehitched the inules and
genoi ally prepared for change of base.
I lie creek bod. it was found, would
afford a hiding place, and into it the
wagon was driven. It was a very dark
night and the roadway exceedingly
rough. The mother went ahead to
clear the wav as much as possible of
Hoat left behind by recent rains, and
but for her precautio i and lalior the
W'agon must have been upset.
Long they traveled, and slowlv, for
beside tho hindering debris, the mule, . 0
were tired almost lo a standstill. At | v miffht yet awake some morning
la^t they wore forced to halt, it w as .'ha' they wore only dream
■aid asnld not be underatood. At teat
his word* were caught:
"Draw those wagon covers! I am
yonr friend; do a* I tell you!"
The sail* of the "prairie schooner"
were at once furled and tucked away
in its bottom. When the mail came
up be explained that some Fin Indian
scouts in the employ of the United
States were on the lookout for the
party, and that the wagon-covers, if
up, would serve to betray them. He
knew of a safe retreat to which lie
would conduct them, where they might
remain until this particular " danger
was past. The place a patch ol
woodland springing from the broad ex-
pause of prairie like an island from
the ocean; and, iudeed, the similarity
is so striking that such patches, when
mentioned, are characterized as islands.
After this escape the desperate joup
nev was renewed, slowly and in the
face of almost inevitable stranding and
starvation. As autumn drow on thoy
suffered much inconvenience from the
heavy rains; sleepy rivulet, and dry
"branches" were transformed into
foaming torrents too formidable to
warrant an attempt at fording; bridges
weie washed away or ha,l been de-
stroyed; the red-clay soil took on tho
properties of putty, and altogether tho
pi ogress seemed but creeping towan
sure death.
The country wis so level that Ihe
water often stood several inches deep
in the road and the track was almost
unnavigable fcr either laud or water
craft. Often tjio jioor, starved, worn'
out mules refused to pull the load—
could not pull it; at such limes the
brave mother would take the childr,*
i'i hor arms, one by one, and carry
them to somo slightly elevated spot,
then return to the wagon, and byal
ternate pushings and coaxings succeed
in getting the jaded animals to pull
out before the wagon became hop
les"lv mired.
When near their journey's end they
lost one of their mules. In crossing _
swollon stream he missed his footing
and was too exhausted from hunger
and fatigue to make even the slightest
struggle to save himself. Just then,
when it seemed as though all hop*
must be abandoned, some Confederate
scouts came in sight. They were
hailed, and worked manfully to assist
tho shipwrecked party, leading them
to a little place known as Monticello,
There they were placed in some C. S
A. wagons and forwarded to Camden,
where by chance the father came ujkiu
them. His surprise at seeing his
loved ones there and in such a terrible
condition may be imagined, for he had
not reoetred the slightest hint of their
coming, nor would he have believed
for one instant that any woman, least
of all his wife, ever before considered
as unusually timid, could have under
taken and completed such a task.
He took his family to El Dorado
and settled them in a comfortable
home, where they had enough to eat
and were free from fear of molestation
from scouts, Indians, and guerrilla,. It
took them all a long time, though, to
livest themselves of the thought that
