NOTICE TO THE UNEMPLOYED.


constrained TO venture few lines upon my own
account i88 8e r .nh N
There are now at least one Thousand persons
old men and young, married and young-seeking
employment in this city as clerks, most OF them
fully capacitaed To- do any kind Of commercial
business, and will venture to say there are not
more than fifty vacancies. How many may be
added to the number Of seekers By this time next
week no one can imagine, for every boat brings
its numbers ts sissM
can speak from experience of the danger of
being unemployed in a large city. The tenpta-
lions of those whose barque OF fortune" is
tossed by every wind and wave, and governed
by no experienced helmsman, are tenfold when
poverty and want are added. Some are expend-
ing their last cent in coming here, and alas !!
they are then in the worst place on this conti-
nent to attain their wishes. Four-ffths OF those
who fill The workhouse come here with the
most praiseworthy intentions, seeking employ
ment. a fs4 s tt lssff
Do, | beg of you, warn those not yet arrived
to keep aloof, without they have situation Sc
cured and urge those now here TO 60, and in any
other direction than that of large cities, at this
time of commercial reaction, to obtain honest
employment and retain their good name
MY heart aches with hourly applications, and
from those, too, whom have known IN pros
perity, and as possessing noble souls.-New Orr

What is true Of New Orleans in respect Of
place hunters is also true Of Washington, and
well would it be for the unemployed there, here
and elsewhere, if they would look before they
leaped. 1t is strange that persons will make
great efforts to accomplish small and uncertain
ends, when, nine cases out Of ten, half these
efforts expended at home would put them be-
yond want or the fear Of it. But, we shall be
told, it is because they can find nothing TO do at
home that they travel abroad. Why not first
inform themselves, then, BY letter or otherwise,
Of the probability Of employment before incurringl
expense, and putting themselves and friends to
additional embarrassment We will not grant,
however, that these people generally can find
nothing to do at home. There is always some-
thing forevery body to do in this world, and that
is, the neat thing nearest at hand. If a man
finds that his business Is not profitable where he
is, and that his expenses exceed his income, the
next thing he has to do is to economise; and as,
in this country, nearly the whole complaint of
hard times and lack Of business comes from
those whose wants are mainly artificial, this is
the ncaf Thing they must all do. We have got
to learn this lesson, and the sooner we go about
the task the easier il, will be accomplished. F@
We ask attention to the article on the
Tariff in to-day's paper, taken from The Mar
shall Statesman, Ky. This vexed question, with
all its intrcacies, is getting every day to be bet
ter understood by the people. The task Of set
ting forth, by an array Of statistical facts, the
true operation of the Tariff, in its important
bearings, is almost as dry and ,hankless as that
.of the photographer, and when well done, de-
serves public acknowledgment sts.j 2&

YOU see, Messrs. Globe and Enquirer, that ii is
not to be all ssmummeries and foolerics of no. :"
Oh, no! depend upon it the Wings intend to

tered and packed at Cincinnati and Covington.
OF these 10000 were rendered almost entirely
into lard About 100000 pounds of lard were
