Congress provided just before ad journmcnt for the appointment of one hundred and fifty special examiners ii the Pension Office in addition to the number now employed. What peculiar qualifications arc necessary for an intcl ligcnt discharge of thcdutjcsof an exam iner I don't know , but the Civil Service commission is going too hold'its class meetings all over the country , beginning next Saturday , for the purpose of exam ining into the proficiency of the proposet examiners. The delectable feature oi the business lies in tlie fact that there arc some hundreds of applicants for Governmental positions who have al ready passed an examination , by the com mission , and , of these hundreds , just four have been provided for , only one of whom has found a place in the Inter ior Deparmcnt ! From this statement it can be ascertained to some degree of accuracy how much of a show there will be for the hundreds of applicants who will present themselves for examination for this position of special examiner , a position , by the way , which will doubt less be filled as all the rest of them have been , by drafts upon the Census Bureau and relays from other departments. The withdrawal of Wilbur -Storey , of the Chicago Times , from the field of journalism may notbe a serious matter now , when the newspaper has practically perfected itself in its great mission , butte to Mr. Storey more than any other man , living or dead , is the credit due for the , tremendous enterprise which has been brought to the making up of the great journals ( of the day. It was always the aim , as it was the pride and boast of Mr. Storey , to get the news and lay jt before his readers before all competitors. For the accomplishment of this he spared neither labor , expense , diligence or du bious methods , in which money consid erations too often entered , and thus was tie enabled to inaugurate a system of newspaper work which every large paper in the country was compelled to adopt , and the great public was the gainer by it. For some years Jtlr. Sto rey has taken no active part in the man agement of the Times , nor was it nec essary , for every writer upon the paper cnew exactly what the old man's no tions were , and governed themselves accordingly. Mr. Storey , of course , made a fortune out of his enterprise , to ake care of which it has recently been ecouic necessary to appoint a conserv- itor , as the old man's brain has soften [ ed , and his days of usefulness gone orever. The usual muddle caused by the in decent , haste with which measures are rushed through Congress in the closing t lours of the session , is developed in the otter-carriers' vacation bill , which , gives these employes fifteen days of jun- " ceting without making appropriations or the payment of their substitutes for ai more than seven days. There is no more propriety in bestowing a half a c ; month's time upon this class of em ployes than there is for paying any other class of Government laborers twclye and "a half months' pay for twelve months of labor , which the Solicitor of es the Treasury has solemnly declared that esP the Government has not the right to do. P While it may be admitted that the letter- tc : carrier is eminently deserving of any is ind every privilege that the Government si las the power to grant , he cannoi expect tl ; receive favors that must necessarily tlai work detriment to the public service. aici Ic has a good salary , is morally certain ci of retaining his situation so long as he cic : < jehaves himself , has no docked time on account of weather or holidays , and altogether he is about as well provided aiai or in the line of receiving favors as a ai reasonable person ought to expect Its aio1 a notable fact besides , that almost Tom the time of the inauguration of the system of mail delivery , these lettere < Barriers have been organizing and combining - , r bining among themselves for increased : pay ; , and ether privileges which the le Government has as regularly allowed re them , as it has steadily refused them to ta ather classes of employes. tah The great scarcity of one and two dollar ; lar greenbacks will soon be at an end , ) % the Government has set its priming al presses at work to print them until the > ippropriation therefor is exhausted , rhc issues of ones will amount to some sixty-six millions , and the twos to about re tairty-eighf millions , which in addition the present circulation is thought to e ample to meet all present needs. > DOM PEDRO. it LET us take it easy. Let us not begin to get hot and mud about politics right here in the dog days , with the election four months off. Let us take it coolly and gracefully and peacefully , and let the unfortunate fellows in the October states do the sweating and fretting for the present. This , of course , is dropped us a tempo rary suggestion , to be determined by the environment of time , place and circumstance. But there is one ad monition as to political conduct that we desire to engrave upon the mind of every republican. Make all your election bets cash. If a rash and im portunate democrat offers to back up his wind with the money , and you feel that you must garner him in , be sure the money is put up in the hands of a reliable stakeholder. Such a course will no doubt greatly reduce the number of bets , but it will add largely to the gathered harvest after election. These Topics know a man who makes two or three hundred dollars lars a year by making election bets on credit , and then collecting what he wins but failing to pay his losses. It is wrong to bet , but if you do , bet cash. This is the law and the profits. Topics. = = = = ' A RECENT telegram to the New , York Herald from Mexico states that , the nomination of Cleveland is receiv ed with great satisfaction by the Mex icans. This must be very pleasing news to Mr. Cleveland. He now has the support of the British lion and the Mexican greaser. The Mex ican greaser is laboring under the im pression that Blaine will invade and capture his country. Immediately af ter Mr. Elaine's nomination a Mexican fi paper advised the utmost vigilance on the part of the national guard , the arming of private citizens and prep arations to prevent the threatened invasion by the plumed knight. It is probably for the same reason , if the truth could be known , that the British lion now roars for Cleveland. He is perhaps afraid that Blaine and Logan , will invade Canada and annex it to the United States. } A SINGLE bitter word may disquiet in entire family for a whole day. One surly glance casts a gloom over the household ; while a smile like a gleam ; jf sunshine , may light up the darkest ind weariest hours. Like unexpected lowers which spring up along our : aath , full of freshness , fragrance and w , jeauty , so kind words and gentle acts wg ind sweet dispositions make glad the g jacred spot called home. No matter low humble the abode , if it be sweet- S jned with kindness and smiles , the G leart will turn lovingly toward it tl "rom all the tumults of the world , tib ind home , if it be ever so homely , b vill be the dearest spot beneath the cc ; ircuit of the sun. " - - - " r - 'r ' c THE cholera situation in France is Becoming very serious. The fatal and jpidemic character of the disease is jstablished beyond question. The problem now is , can it be restricted Q J o the district already affected ? This hardly possible , though it was done successfully in Egypt last year. But here military authority was invoked , ind travel absolutely stopped by a . s ordcu of rifles through which no one _ ould pass. Such a blockade cannot je established in a thickly populated > ind civilized country and the chances . 01 ire that the plague will spread all ver the world. A SUMMER house for cats has been Si Siw jstablished by a lady in Boston , and w here are 700 feline inmates. The is eaders of the independents go there is egularly for their inspiration and to ake lessons in harmony. The cats are lannonious , but on a basis that ap- re"i lies to them and the independents "i ilike. Each cat is locked in a ca e to O y itself. cc THE Washington monument has eachedaheightof482 feet , and when sighteen more feet are added it will e completed. It is hoped to finish 1 ; < this year. ' c : < : FASHION NOTES. EXTKEMELY high French heels are not put on walking boots. THE overdress is more and more frequently worn with downward plaits as .the season advances. SINGLE bangles are attached by a ribbon to handsome parasols , to sljp ever them and keep them closed. SLIPPERS for the house are cut very low in front , and have their box toes more sharply pointed than shoes. WHITE China silk is being exten sively "used for underclothing. It is soft and silky , and delightfully cool. LONG fichus are in white embroid ered mull and India muslins with an edging of wide lace gathered in a full ruffle. LAPIS-LAZULI is both prettier and more becoming than navy blue , and is the blue of the season in both dress fabrics and trimmings. JERSEYS are finished with velvet collars and cuffs. Almond-colored and cream-white jerseys are stylishly used over ecrufoulard skirts. PRETTY lamp-shades for the sum mer have a rose -colored or yellow foundation ( , covered with narrow ruffles . fles of any kind of delicate imitation lace. A XOVELTY in the Queen Ann shoe ; is the introduction of red and black patent-leather fronts , just fastened with a small steel button , and Louis Quinze heels. LITTLE girls' dresses of sateen have sntire bodies of sateen gathered to a yoke of embroidery , the skirt being finished with a three-inch hem and a ruffle of embroidery below. YOUNG girls wear peasant-waists , corselets of velvet over guimpes Df crepe lisse or India mull , with small puffs for sleeves. The skirt is arnamented with bows of velvet to natch the corselet. FOR those who prefer colored TOWHS , pale blue or pink , Scotcli nrinffham of solid color is used for all 10 f the gown but the yoke , which is nade of white embroidery in open jompass , wheel or star patterns. VERY dressy white bonnets have he front nearly covered by an Alsatian bow of fluted Valenciennes lace , on which rest tinsel butterflies ; he smooth crown is of white crape , vith small figures upon it made of jilt beads. Too many ostrich tips are not in rood ( taste on the summer hats. The jrainsboro shape so much worn by he picturesque young ladies for some 3 ime past is quite passe , and will not e worn by those who wish to be ons5dered in style. HAND-PAINTED sashes of silk or atin , in pale or dark colors , will be imch worn this summer over simple louse dresses of French muslin , or- randie and lawn. With more dressy oilets for the evening , graceful little ileeveless jackets are made to match. THE little Princess Mercedes , eldest laughter of the King and Queen of Spain , and called after his first wife , much admired and talked about. . She is said to be like her mother , ueen Christina. The princess ap- ears daily in public , and when her mtriders are seen on the streets or mblic promenades every one stops to jet a glimpse of the pretty little thing , summer and winter she wears pure vhite , and even the small chair which fixed upon the seat of her carriage covered with white satin upholstery. THERE are indications of a general esurrection day for politicians who arc 'out of politics. " They arc beginning spring up Pho2iiix-like all over the lountry with an astounding spontaneity only to be "out of politics" for a cason once more. CALIFORNIA has begun shipping jer to Chicago. This is like carrying- oals to Newcastle. W. C. LaTOURETTE , Ij DEALER IN | | - HARDWARE , STOVES , QUEENSWARE , AGRICUTUBAL IMPLEMENTS , BARBED WIRE.
