The cliffs were not very high, but their rms were finely picturesque. Here and Lere were still green creeks, fringed with nple wced; and larga shadowy cares, wed roughly in the sido of the crags; and ,cky islets, covered with slimy wcel and sash with the lapping wate:'. A little to e right of the spot from which he had ivod, the cliff seemed hollow~ed cut, for:ning wide passage, which the sea entered with a *amp and a rush and a rear. Toward this passage B3rinkloy swam. He new the danger of such places, for he had Eten explorcd them both in Cornwall and me west of Ireland;but he had confidence iv is own natatory skill.

Then William Jones shouted .in more indistinctly, and repeated his ex ited gestures. It was clear that he was raning the swimmer against some hidden langer. .Brinkley took the warning, and truck out from the shore, and then back to he place where he had left his clothes.

From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D.C., July 20,'85. Evidences accumulate daily that a n4w and better governmental era has dawned upon the country, and that the hope for a purer and more busi ness-like administration which ex- I pressed itself in the election of Cleve- t land will not be dissappointed. s Itis a safe to say that it has been a a long time since the laws were so q thoroughly studied and so honestly enforced as they now are, while the s present generation sees for the first t time-a .sineere. endeavor to cheek a extravagance and the willful waste ti of the people's money. o The Government receipts and ex- c penditures for the month of June G 1884, and 1885, are significant as w showing how far administrative re- c form affects the balances. For the Si month of June 1885, the receipts ri were $27,157,015.55: June 1884, tr $26,932,088.30: expenses for June w 1885, ..$15,255,658.11, June 1884, a $16,116;13.90. The increase of w receipts can largely be placed le to th'e increased vigilance of the of custom service, uifder the spur pi of the new administration, in preven ting frauds in undervaluation. The -ai redaction in expenditures of over si eight hundred .thousand dollars is hi ahe immediate result ,of the initial li passage of the Jacksonian broom of m retrenchment and reform through the di Federal service. ti The claim made by the Demo- 0 crats in recent canvasses that it was H high time to have a look at the:books ri has been abundantly sustained. In fr every department, and in almost c every bureau of the Government ir- in regularities are coming to light. ci Secretary Manning is overhauling H the Internal Revenue Ikureau, reor- a] ganizing the Bureau of Engraving fi and Printing and reducing this chari- al ty hospital to business principles, w and -he is breaking up the ring which b' has filched the fifty millions or so rt from the Treasury department by ti undervaluing their importations. The h eultural department has- been a with' results disastrous to b the reputations of mealy mouthed x Loring, and his subordinates. The p laud grabbers -have been checked, ti and on every hand evidences of pl recklessness, and extravagance are f coming to light. The last bureau to sl be heard from is Coast Survey, the st accounts of which are under suspi- b' cion and investigation by the Audi- hi tor. The wholesome feeling now is se that all these investigations will be b< honest ones; that the innocent will m be vindicated, while the guilty will at not be whitewashed. For such is w Democratic reform. Since the reorganization of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing gi over two,hundred persons-have been dischyged wthout their loss bemng in felt either thquality oiNluantity ci offte-work donie, adid ait a saving of p~ over $100,000, per annum. How can B, thia be? .The explanation is easy. 01 Congress places in the hands of the chief of the bur,eau nearly a million o1 of dollars annually, with absolutely no restrictions. The bureau was ii filled with clerks many of whom si were assisting the others to do nothing. Fifty or more were dis- ti clIarged, and $50,000,- was saved at Ii one swoop. One matron and nine' i assistants were employed to protect wi from theft the clothes in the dress te ing room of the female assistants si to the printers.

The it Treasury Department corridors also it were thronged with idle messengers, v so much so, in fact, that it became a subject of complaint to the Secretary.

"You seem to know this place well?" said the young man, standing over him. William Jones replied, without looking up: "I ought to; I were bom here. Father were born here. Know it? I wish I- know'd as well how to make my own fortin'." "And yet they tell me," observed the other, watching him slyly, "that William Jones of Aberglyn has money in the bank, and is a rich man!" He saw William's color change at once; but recovering himself at once, the worthy gave a contemptuous grunt, and aimed a stone spitefully at a large gull which just then floated slowly by." "Who told you that?" he asked, glancing quickly up, and then looking down again. "Some tomfool, wi' no more sense in 'un than that gulh Rich? I wish I was, I do!" Brinkley was amused, and a little curious. Laughing gayly, he threw himself down by William's side. .Wiam_ shifted his a a sto . "My dear Mr. Jones," said the young man, assunming the flippant style which Matt found so irritating, "I have often wondered how you get your living." William started nervously. "You are, I believe, a fisherman by pro fession; yet you never go fshing. You pos sess a boat; but.you are seldom seen to use it.
