There is a class of statesmen In New York who

the same men who become, IN time, the great mer-
chants OF the metropolis. II has frequently happened
during the past luw ears that statesmen have cleared
more money than their employers.
When business is dull the employer may not make
a dollar, but whether lie makes or loses, the sales

gramme was disarranged by the declension
Of some Of these gentlemen, their selection
showed that the President appreciated the
necessity Of filing important places with
men of undoubted capacity and character.
Gen. HARRISON was feeble President, but
he was not ashamed to call around him
Cabinet 80 strong that under its shadow he
dwindled into insignificant proportions and
so he made WEBSTER Secretary of State,
EWING Secretary of the Treasury, BADGER
Secretary of the Navy, and CRITTENDEN At
torney General
When by a fortuitous concurrence OF cir
cumstnnces, an inferior man happens to find
himself subjected TO the pressure of heavy
responsibilities, which involve the well being
of great nation, he can give no higher
proof of his littleness than by persistently
refusing to call to his aid statesmen whose
superior endowments win enable him to
master the exigencies of his position.
Either from ignorance, or caprice, or con-
tempt of public opinion, or extreme narrow
ness of soul, or from all these combined,
Gen. GRANT, from the very outset OF his
civil career, has seemed to prefer for his con
fidcntial advisers class of men who, with
scarcely an exception, were uninfuentinl
with their party, and had no hold upon the
country, while his selections for other i'm
portant positions at home and abroad have
been of the same type. He has already
made six changes in his Cabinet. WASH

Of these men were so obscure that leading
politicians of their own States had never
heard of them, and well.informed Journalists
could not correctly spell their names willie
the whole Republican party stood amazed ut
| their selection. And as vacancies occurred
OF were created the President, instead OF
Selling the opportunity to fill them with a
h Cher grade Of statesmen, has reached
lower and lower TO find his benefciaries.
BY what rule is Gen. GRANT governed in
thus conducting this branch Of the public
scrviccs Docs he not know any betterS Or
il he afraid to call the superior statesmen OF
the Republican party TO his side, lest the
contrast should more clearly disclose his own
inferiorityP Or does lie mean that the men
whom he selects for frst-class positions shall
feel that they owe their elevation solely &c
him. and not al all to their own merits, md
thereby rivot their future political fortunes
closely to his own?
In either view, docs Gen. GRANT dream
that this is the true method for building vi
and strengthening party? Or is he wholly
Indifferent 10 this, and docs no look solely t.

The seats generally in our small public

The seats generally in our small public
parks are too small, and are uncomfortable.
Long, wide, and carefully adapted for the com.
fort of the sitting person, are the seats which
should be provided. 1t has been said that If
such Injurious seats we're placed in the parks,
the politicians would occupy them all the time
and sleep on them at night; and that the police
could not hustle them of or arrest them, be-
cause they would turn upon the efficient police
men and get them dismissed. We cannot
believe that this is true. Let us have the seats
at once, and see whether the wandering politi-
clans cannot be properly dealt with.

In France. as well as in this country, the
sewing machine has been accused of causing va
rious historical and nervous diseases among the
persons who are in the habit OF making con-
tinual use of il. DR.. DEcAIsSB, French phys-
clan, after studying the effects OF the sewing ma
chine on no less than 661 workwomen, thus sums
up the results Of his researches:
l. The pains in the muscles OF the back and in the
limbs which are complained OF by those who uee the
sewing machine are not In any way different IRON
the pains which felt after any sort OF excessive
muscular labor, are not met Win among women VINO
do not work more than two or three hours a DAY,
and soon disappear even among those who use the
machine for a longer period
q There IL no reason TO accuse the sewing ma.
chine OF causing the bad dgestons. and doranced
stomachs which are met with three times out OF
tour among oil the other workwomen OF farls, Just
as well as among the sempstresses. In the same
way certain disorders OF the respiratory organs are
found equally among all classes OF Paris work
a The noise OF the machine has been said TO pro-
duce nervous disorders but although u is quite
true that the OF the machine Is disagreeaolo
at first all the workwomen admit that its III effects
pass away as soon as they have got accustomed 70
Its use. ,
machine is not the cause Of certain hysterical Aztec
tlons and OF unhealthy excitement, am OF opinion
that the observations which have been published on
this subject, and the CONGRATULATIONS which have
been drawn from them, are entirely without value.
The evil complained Of has but rarely been brought
on by tho sewing machine, and may generally be
traced 10 other and totally distinct causes.
DIR. DEcAIsSE prefers the machines which are
worked with one pedal TO those which have two,
and is Of opinion that with the former there is
not the slightest danger Of any Ill results to the
user. In conclusion the memoir states that wher
the workwoman is not overworked, sempstresse'
using the machine are in just as good health a.
those working by hand only.
