Do IT WELL.-Whatever you do do
it well. A job sighted, because it is
apparently unimportant, leads to hab
itual neglect so that men degenerate,
insensibly, into had workmen.
'That is good rough job" said q
foreman in our hearing recently, and
he meant that it was piece of work,
not elegant in itself but strongly made
and well put together.
Training the hand and eye to do
work well, leads individuals to form
correct habits in other respects, and q
good workman is, in most cases, .
good citizen. No one need hope to
rise above his present sitnation who
suffers small things to pass by unim-
proved, OF. who neglects, metaphor
eally speaking, to pick up cent be-
cause it is not dollar. iioft of
Some Of the wisest law makers, the
best statesmen, the most gifted artists,
the most merciful judges, the most in
genious mechanics, rose from the
great mass. ~
A rival of a certain great lawyer
sought to humiliate him publicly by
saying: "You blacked my fathers
boots once "Yes," replied the law
yer, unabashed, sand ] did it well"
And because of doing mean things
well he rose to a greater. q
Take heart all who toll all youths
in humble situations; all in adverse
circumstances, and those who labor
unappreciated. If it be but to drive
the plow, strive to do it well; If it be
but to wax thread, wax it well: if only
to cut bolts, make good ones; or to
blow bellows, keep the iron bot. It
Is attention to business that lifts the
feet higher up the ladder. -g
Says the good book: "Seest thou Q
man dilligent in his business, he shall
stand before kings" he shall not
stand before mean men.

CHOLERA AND BAsEMENrs.---Bad air
from Easements is fruitful cause of
cholera. The following mode of ven-
tilation is simple. Open hole in the
bottom, or as near the bottom as may
be convenient, of your kitchen chin
ney, say about one foot square. This
will ventilate your basement thor
oughly, and prevent the bad air rais-
ing in your rooms above. To ventil-
ate your drains, cesspools or closets,
connect them by three or four inch
iron pipe with any chimney-that in
which there is FIRE being best. 70.

A DIs0RACEFUL SCENE.


Mr.. EDIroR:--I desire to call the
attention of our citizens through ths
columns of your journal, to scene
that transpired at the Common Coun.
Gil Room of this city, on Monday
evening last. While the proceedings
(the election of Controller) were in
progress, gehtleman in the audience
received one vote; after its announces
ment by the Clerk, the gentleman
arose and stated that the name given
was that of his son and gave the COR
rect initials Of his own name; on the
next ballot he received one vote, tthe
name being correct) coupled with the
name of awoman of bad repute, a
resident of this city. II did not end
here, but other persons in the room
were directly and grossly insulted by
action similar TO this on the part of
members Of the Council. When they
were tired of insulting and bandying
coarse and vulgar epithets upon the
auditors, they commenced among
themselves, and the language there
used was of the most obscene and
vulgar description, causing the large
audience in attendance to hang their
heads in shame-and these men are
the Aldermen of this city, elected by
the people to guard and protect not
only its pecuniary interest, but its
honor, dignity and respect. So that
there may be no mistake in the prem
ises, / give the name Of the Aldermen
present. lst Ward, Aldermen Luther
and Schwartz, I'd Ward, Aldermen Al
lardt, Dietz and Richardson, 8d Ward,
Aldermen Gage. All true and loyal
Republicans, representatives of a party
that claims all the morals and decency
of the country, no Democrat or
Copperhead among them. Perfectly
untrammeled, their human natu
had free scope, and it is not surprising
that their propensities came to the
surface. Let it be remembered that
during the progress Of this disgraceful
scene no rebuke was offered, not even
the delectable Alderman from the 3D.
Ward, the Postmaster, who attributes
to himself a great share of the morals
of the city, raised his voice in condem-
nation, on the other hand he appeared
tolenjoy the feast hugely. Out upon
such hypocritical demagogues,
should be expelled from the Councils
of our city and made to find thir nat
ural affinities among the inmates Of
brothels, and those who would
appreciate their conduct Have we
finally reached point where no res
pectable citizen dare enter the Council
Chamber of our city without fear Of
being insulted2 7

RouflCol Toet1ng.
The orthodoxy of the Adrian Es
pos,tor, a. an exponent of Michigan
Republicsnism, will not be ques.
toned. II has usually met the ex.
pectations of the extfeme radical por.
ton of its party. In its comments on
the Governors fast it but expresses
opinions which every fair-minded
man, and every considerate man, how.
ever radical in his opinions he may
be, cannot but endorse. After noting
at some length tho disregard which
was generally paid to the Governors
recommendations in that city, the Er-
pos,tor goes on to say.'nf 3lii loIm &.
THE truth is, tho Governor made
a mistake. There are causes which,
enlisting the sympathies and appeal
ing to the hearts Of the entire people,
irrespective of party, may most ap-
propriately be made the subject Of re-
ligious and devotional exercises. But
such was not the theme of the Gov
ernor's proclamation. 1t cannot be
disguised and should not be denied,
that Governor Crapo's proclamation
is partizan. Every man who, in the
present political posture of the coun-
try does not sympathise with the rad
ical majority in Congress felt himself
insulted by the proclamation. No
farce could be more ridiculous than
to ask Democrats and republicans to
come together in the same church and
pray for the country. They entertain
radically different views a. to the
country's needs. We rejoicingly be-
lieve that very large majority Of the
people are opposed to the policy of
reconstruction which President john
son is so obstinately endeavoring to
enforce. Nevertheless large minor
ity Of the people firmly believe in and
uphold that policy; and we have too
good an opinion Of human nature to
assail those who happen to disagree
with us, as recreant TO justice and lib
erty, and actuated by disloyalty and
wicked motives. If the spirit Of Gov
ernor Crapo's proclamation had been
attempted to be carried out in all tho
of the State yesterday, it
would inevitably have given rise to
schism and dissension of the most Bit
ter and implicable character. We
should have deprecated such an at
tempt, and are glad that the practical
common sense of the people prevented
the mischief which Governor Grape
did not intend, but which the tenor Of
his proclamation was well calculated
to produce. We sincerely hope that
no future Governor of opposite poll
tics to ourselves, may make Governor
Crapo's blunder precedent for invit-
ing US to pray aud fast for the success
of principles which we repudiate and
a cause which we deplore."
A very sensible view of the subject.
Let us never have repetition Of this
unfortunate and hypocritical-for all
such attempts cannot be regarded as
otherwise than hypocritical-attempt
so introduce the religious sentiments
Of the people into the rervice Of q
party warfare. Let this attempt be
so thoroughly condemned that no ex-
ecutive Of any party shall ever again
make this mistake"

The following from recent address
by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, makes
extremely distasteful reading for some
of his political associates:
II should be sorry to see any more
Government agents spreading through
the land. If the President would
call home every treasury agent that is
disgracing the North and the Govern
ment, and humanity, and alternating
the South, l, for one, should be glad
Here and there are no doubt men who
stand above bribery and suspicion Of
corruption-noble men and true but
all through the Sonth, taking them
comprehensively, they are as locusts
eating up the land. They are preda-
tory nuisances, and degrade the north
from which thea come, and the gov
ernment under which they serve.'

EXCELSIOR / E pluRlsus unum /

EUREEAl EXCELSIOR I { PlURlBUS Uhum
We are happy TO announce that the
Common Council at its special session
last evening, succeeded in their ardu-
Gus and somewhat protracted hbors
of'electing a Controller-Ex Aid. M.
Hs-Allardt (haying previously re-
signed being elected.
This task might, perhaps, have
been finished sooner, but for the
Democratic members having neglect
cd to attend to their duties, the whole
job devolving upon the Republican
members, only five in number, after
Mr.. Allardts resignation. Our dem
ocratio friends are disposed to make a
little capital out of the delay. But
they do not appreciate how heavy a
Job it is to elect Controller. We
know it is a democratic maxim TO
''vote early and often, but that don't
come up to forty-seven formal ballots
before midnight, and with nothing
but cold water on the table. Democ-
racy could never go that. 1t takes
Republicans to persevere. The DEM
cratic members are not entitled to the
credit of providing the city with that
useful and necessary officer, Con-
troller. People who imagined they
might be under the painful privation
of having no taxes to pay, for want
of an assessment can now see fair
prospect of having said assessment
made.-Ehte,pr'ss, Wsdnssday 26h. 7
Eureka! "We are happy to au-
nounce," says the jubilant editor. SIN
the Joy of his heart he exclaimed
Eureka l have found it." Found
whatS Found that demagogueism
and party trickery have again tri-
umphed over right, reason and COM
mon decency in our city government; i;
that the Rinderpest usurpation has
eliminated, as was designed from
the beginning, in the elevation of one
more notoriously unfit for the place
than any, Of whatever sex or status
for whom ballots were cast during the
"protracted labors" which resulted in
this most uugainly delivery-to the
highest and most responsible position
of any in our city government. Well
may the writer exclaim, Eureka! and
happily chronicle his abject submis-
sion to the will of the Third Ward
Autocrat, in whose hands he and
every other "hewer of wood and
drawer of water" in the republican
ranks is but puppet, to be handled,
dandled, duped or discarded, as suits
his sovereign will and pleasure.
Excelsior! "More lofty, more ele-
waited, higher" the very apex of as
sumption, outrage and political men
dacity, a trick, whose brazen effront-
cry finds no parallel save in the re-
cords Of the boldest knavery.
Z Plwi6B Unum! "0ne of many"
This heading, like the article which
fOllows--which we have good reason
to know was designed to be ironical
to the full limit of the writer's priv
ileges in the subordinate position he
occupies-has a double significance.
