Winking A Wife In Washtenaw

Andrew McAndrew, of Ypsilanti, a well-known gradúate of theXJniversity, has written a delightful story for Thb Register, which we shall print soon. It is entitled, "Winning a Wife in Washtenaw." It displays a bit of human nature which Mr. McAndrew probably will vouch for as actually existing. It will be bf great interest to all classes of people. Trial subscriptions for The Register three months, only 25 cents. One year, 81.00 in the county. Outside Washtenaw county, one year, $1.15. The tariff question has to a large extent displaced the civil service reform question. Some of the inost ardent civil service reformers of four years ago, who thought then that it was the question of all questions, have apparently dropped it as not of so very much importance, jnst as Cleveland dropped the silver question when he found that the country wouldn't be scaredby his aseertions. The Civil Service Record, the organ of the Boston association, looks with considerable favor upon Harrison's election. It expresses deep disappointment at Cleveland's course in regard to the civil service, and quotes approvingly some utterances of Harrison's, in which that gentlemen longed to be free of distributing patronage so that he might give his whole attention to great public qnestions.
