Another oattso of our im MWaitT from eeidnt from the general uf k the extrade of Petroleum is that it hac boeai almcMt entirely confined to 'what ia known me kerosene, the most safe f any ated for illuminating purposes.

But there are many laiinfattiiiTrs who, for the sake of making the article eheajver by a few cents a saltoa. send into the market a most Jauj,ueic erpkwivc material by which handreds of lives are yearly sacrificed, and haoinds of disastrous fires originated. Bat still wore dangerous fluids aro pro duced aad sold in quantities to the public for illami lulling lwrpoeas, among whirh are liquid Gas and Gasolin?, which are also tlrMilWukms of coal-oil, and which are alatoxt jture Naphtha or Benzine, and mar he conndered only less dangcr oera to he handled and used by the general public than NHro-Glycerinc. Although, as jet, these articles have not come into anything like general use, still the acci dents which havo occurred from their liaaited nee k startling. In speaking of there dangerous fluids, the Baltimore eavs: "Under the mask of some mneifl name, the dealers in a mate rial more hazardous than gunpowder se ra r4r shelter themselves, and reckless of coneeqnencee, ocket tltbir ill-gotten gains. They are perfectly wall aware that the lighter dfetillatwii3ilcoal-oil, which arc known under tho names of Xaptha, Gas oline, Beniine, or whatever else, arc not the less bacardous because disguised un der r.orue irandalent and delusive name.

In Baltimore, out of ITS fires, -5- were from the same cause. The Fire Marshal of fcw York, in his ; for 1S70, makes the following rc pm this subject : " The ofHe and the nnmberof Gres caused itf At Saayereas corapeeads fold and used for iUaaaiB'ia porpoees. under tie names of kero sene bqad fas. gaiolioe. patent safety pas, &c, are iaereajieg at a Fetrfal rate.

The Mesber of lives lost by these &re3 vras 17, aa iacreafe of 70 per cent, from last year, thus dnwieg that tbe laa of life increased in exact preperiMa to tbe nomlier of fires. In thU con oectien. 1 take the liberty of referring to the able report on "The quality of kerosene oil sold in tbe Metropolitan district," made by Professor C. H. Chandler. Chemist, ot tbe Metropolitan Beard of Heahh. in January. 16C9. 1'fco total number of samples collected from different dealers in the city by his orders, and tested by him, was C36. Of Jiese 21 were safe oils, and 615, or upwards of 9C per cent of the whole number, dangerous sod oasafc. In an article on Dangerous Kero secfe," in the America Chmiisi for October last. Professor Chandler says: "Liquid gas is the nest dangerous oil cow in use ; it is simply pure aaptba or benzine, a few per cent, of whidi led is kerosene oil makes it unsafe." And yet we tod in his report that seven samples of kerosene tested by him " contained from 2 to 90 per ceut. of beazine. gasoline and naptha." TThat'pnmsb itcesftissnSiciently severe for the Sends who thus delberatcly spread death and destruction thro'aji o! the eommaaity reordering helpless women ctildren tor a diSrence of fire cents a gallon Id the east of dacgerros and safe kerosene." T3jc following, from tbe Chicago Cn idc, will give some idea of the dangerous character of tfie fluid known as Gasoline, mhielefa which we are sorry to sar has bee.n to it limited extent introduced here : Gisouxe Kxplosiox. An explosion of this inflammable substance occurred in St. Louis on tbe 8th insL A can. filled with the burning fluid, was left upon the table, the Etopper having been removed. It evaporated and filled the room with the vapor, and when the ssrvani girl opened the kitchen door, holding in her hand a lighted can dle, tbe gas took fire and exploded with a loud report, setting fire to the girl'a clothing, and barning her so terribly that Ehe died in two foetus utter the accident." It is to be observed that a fearful num ber of lives are lost from these burning fflni'd oxplflsions in comparison to those lost in other fires. In Brooklyn, last year, twenty persons lost their lives from this cause, there being during the year, thirty one kerosene explosions so called, but which probably included all the varieties of fluids of this class. "We close our extracts from the various reports and papers, by tnving the remarks on the subject, of the Fire Marshal of Philadelphia, in his report for 1870: "Explosions ol adulterated kerosene, and reck lessness in the use ot uenzinc, naptna, anu gas oline, and the fabrication from these hazardous products of petroleum, by mercenary and unscru pulous speculators, of numerous Taney burning fluids, some of which are as explosive as gunpow der, and palming them off upon unsuspecting tradesmen and housekeepers as the cheapest and safest illuminators thereby introducing into stores, shops and factories of merchants and me chanics, and the households of innocent people, dreadful agents of business hazards and domestic calamities. I'nblic safety and humanity alike de mand the passage of rigid legal enactments, and the appointment of upright and reliable executive officers to enforce them, against the making and vending of all impure and perilous articles for illuminating purposes." "With these examples before them, peo ple should redouble their care in the use of these dangerous articles. There is com paratively little danger in the best qual ities of korosene, although the most care fully and honestly prepared oil requires in its use, constant care. A few simple ob servances in the care of kerosene lamps will go far to insure safety in their use; among which we will mention that a light should never be blown out, but should be turned down until the light is extingushed. A kerosene lamp should never be carried about in the hand, lighted; the larup should not be allowed to burn until the oil is nearly exhausted, and, above all, should never be filled while Amrning. The Civil Service itefbriii. AVc give our readers some short ex tracts from an article in the last number of the AT A. Jtevieic, entitled "Civil Service lleform." The article is written by Hon. Jacob D. Cox, formerly Secre tary of Interior, he having been called to that office by General Grant upon his advent to the Presidency. He came into the Cabinet imbued with the opinion that the Civil Service needed reforming, and that as an honest officer and true patriot, ho was bound to carry on the public work in the most efficient as well as the most economical way. He sot himself, therefore, to the correcting of abuses, which were so flagrant as to pre clude all hope of improvement of the service, with the determination to make but few removals from office. The same party elected him that had elected lib predecessor, and most, if not all, those in office claimed to be good Republicans. But 20,000 hungry applicants at Wash ington on the 4th of March, reinforced by the thousands during the first weeks of the Administration, created such a pressure that when the few removals deemed politic and necessary had been made, it was found impossible to stop the current. The party leaders demanded changes, not so much for reason of polit ical heresy of those in office as from the urgent clamors of their needy followers, and as the Democrats were not in power, it was a case of one wing of the Repub lican party devouring the other. Secretary Cox attempted reform in his Department by taking appointments into his own hands; by instituting methods for determining the competency and char acter of the applicants; and by refusing to accept the dictation on Congressmen or others. He was making thorough work, but the reformer was ahead of the times, and tho result was, that he was called upon to desist, or rctiro from the Cabinet. He chose the latter alternative. The article therefore may be considered as authoritative in its facts, and as exhib iting, from an interior stand-point, the abuses and mischiefs that have crept into the administration of public affairs in the U. S. from the adoption of tho party doctri ne, " to the victor belongs the spoils." So long'as the nation was rich and prosperous, this corruption and mismanagement did not attract public attention, but the load of a war debt, with its necessity of heavy taxation, brings to light the enormous cost to the nation of its civil service, as it has, been managed in the past. Mr. Jcnckcs, in the House, and Mr. Schurz, in the Senate, have taken up this reform in earnest, and have introduced bills to do away with the abuses. It is probable that tho Reform -will come into prominence in the next Presi dential canvass, for the press, as well as many public men, are declaring them selves favorable to its immediate consider ation. The article will amply repay pe rusal, but our space will permit of only brief extracts relating to one or two of the points discussed : " The mischiefs and abuses in the present sys tem have becomo gradually known, until at length it seems to be almost universally recognized that our civil service, as it exists, is little better than a nuisance that must be thoroughly re formed, unless we are to admit that Republican government is a failure in the ordinary business administration .'of, public affairs.!?, , " Oa the'jidvent of every adminbtratjon, the capital swarms with crowds of officoeekers, applying for every imaginable place, from a di plomatic position at a foreign court, to a mesenger. ship in a department at home. They come armed with recommendations and credentials which ex perience has proven to be worthless as evidences of character or capacity, but which certify on vheir face, that the bearer is one of the most ca pable and deserving of men whose labors in the election of the in-coming President were of the most signal and decisive value. "The President's balls and ante-rooms are thronged by the applicants, the more fortunate or importunate pressing their Senator or Repre sentative into the service, to introduce them and stand sponsors for their merits and claims. The facility with which written recommendations are procured, leads to duplicity on tbe part of the persons giving Idem, anu it is no uncommon thinir for one who has written n high eulogium upon the character and acquirements of a place hunter, to write a private note begging that his formal indorsement may not be regarded as of any weight, or to seek a private interview, in which he will state -that tbe person is quite the reverse of tbe picturo drawn of him in the testimonial bled. " Tbe President and hi3 Secretaries mnst re ceive the endless tide of applicants, listening to the praises spoken by an official friend, with, perhaps, a note from the same official in the drawer of tne table at wnicn tuer sit, contrauici ine everv word of the high panegyric so glibly poured into their ears, and with a feeling of wearied disgust at the necessity of receiving with equal serenity the hypocritical praises and lurtive denial ot them Irom tne same lips. .Mr. Lincoln's grim joke about deciding between ap plicants by the avoirdupois weight of their recommendations, was, like, many of his jokes, a most keen satiro upon the ntter worthlesiiiess of this mode ot determining a mans Illness lor public office Yet when once it is regjrded settled that official positions are to be distributed anew by every administration among "it? friends," there is little better ttial can be done. " Despair of reaching satisfactory results, be gets carelessness and haste in disposing of what is unpleasant business at best; and tbe time when it can be announced that all vacancies are filled, is looked forward to as a comparatively bliuful future, in which the real business of the country may receive thought and attention. That time, however, does not come. No sooner is a man in place, than bis rivals or enemies are on his track, ready to prove that he was tbe most unfit person that could be chosen, and that the party will be utterly demoralized it ho is not to- stantly removed and his place given to another. II a month or two were all that is wasted in this employment, it would be bad enough ; but the truth is, that by Tar the larger part of the tune of the President, and nil the members of his Cabinet, is occupied by this worse than useless drudgery, during the whole term of his office. and it forms literally and absolutely the sta ple of their work. It is, therefore, no figure of speech to say that the administering the Govern ment means the distribution and re-distribution of its offices, and that its diplomacy, finance. military, naval and internal administration are the minor affairs which the settledpolicy of the country has relegated to such odds and ends of time as may be snatche'J from tbe greater cares ot ouice. "Members of Congress do not escape from similar burdens. Their tables are piled with letters of applicants. At the beck of some local politician, whose influence at homo must be courted or feared, they leave their seats in the Senate or House, and visit the White Ilonse, or oneTjf the Departments, to introduce their im portunate neighbor, and say everything in bis behalf which the utmost straining of conscience will permit." " Suppose a President to have determined to use his patronage to enforce a policy, or to secure a re-election, the bargaining for appointments becomes at once a systematic bribery, scarcely more disguised than the system ef corruption introduced into the Knglish Parliament under the vt alpole .Ministry." " When the I resident determines to Ufo the patronago at his disposal for personal or party purposes, it results, practically, in farming it out to Members of Congress. He may retain the right to favor special personal friends and retainers, hero or therp, or allow hl3 Cabinet officers to do tho same br theirs, but his will amount to but a drop in the bucket. The influences most nseful and most formidable to the Kxrcutire are in Congress." The result of the system is summed up in the following passage : "A corrupting distribution of patronage is the natural and almost inevitable result of tho common purpose of office-holders to preserve their places : and it we once admit that a 1 resi dent may use his appointing power as a party machine, or to lnlluence bis own re-election, an inexorable logic carries us to tbe conclusion that it is admissible and proper for a Congressman to use his share of the patronage in the same way. and to perpetuate his power by the ostracism of every independent and sell respecting man in his district, whilst the whole favor and influence of the Government is given to the circle of obse quious followers, who are prompt to wheel or face, when they receive tho order from their commander. Out of the common purpose to keep themselves in power, which rules the pro fessional politicans, has grown the custom of levying assessments upon oUice-hoiders ot all giades. "1 he party, ' in the main, has como to mean nothing but the organized company of placemen.' " The remedy is to be found in the adoption of this principle in brief: Admission to the Civil Service only upon the results of a compctitve examination, open to all ; and dismission only npon ascertained failure of capacity or character. " It was at a meeting at Klgin, in Scotland, in September last, that Mr. Lone, tho Chancellor of Exchequer, was able proudly to say : ' We have thrown open the whole public service, not to the privileged classes, but to the people at large to those who possess industry and ability among tbe lowest classes just as well as amorg tho highest. I think the greatest benefit of this measure is, that we have withdrawn patronace from the dominion of party and have given it to the people.' It will be a proud day for the American people when one of its statesmen can truthfully take up these words and declare, ' We, too, havo withdrawn patronage from the doninion of party, and have given it to tho people.' " The Clisiritablc l-'siir. On Monday evening next, at the resi dence of Madame Ballieu, a charitable Pair will be held for the benefit of those who have suffered by the late war in Prance. In the Departments of France which have been overrun by the invading armies the utmost destitution prevails, and thousands upon thousands of the poor in habitants are suffering from want. In England and the United States, every thing is being done to relieve these poor sufferers, and ship-loads of provisions and other necessaries are being forwarded from the ports of both countries. We read in the papers, of one man, Mr. A. T. Stewart of New York, sending 4,000 bar rels ot flour, and of other private individ uals, societies and communities, contribut ing munificently to the relief of the suf ferers. Wc sincerely hope that the peo ple of Honolulu will, in this instance, sus tain the reputation they have earned of being always ready to administer relief to the distressed, by rendering such sub stantial aid to Madame Ballieu as will en able her to send to her distressed conntry people the assistance which her efforts in their behalf deserve. Ye understand that the Committee will meet at Madame Bal lieu's on Thursday (to-morrow) evening. It is possible they may decide to'dTspose of the goods by sale at the tables and by auction and lottery.
