CAREFuLNEss IN OLD AeE.-An old
man is like an old wagon; with light
loading and careful usage it will last for
years; but one heavy load or sudden
strain will break it and ruin it forever.
So many people reach the age of fifty,
or sixty, or even seventy, measurably
free from most of the pains and infrm-
tiles of age, CHEEKY in heart and sound
in health. ripe in wisdom and expert
ence, with sympathies mellowed by age,
and with reasonable prospects and op-
portunities for continued usefulness in
the world for a considerable time. Let
such persons be thankful, but lei them
also be careful. An old constitution is
like an old bone; broken with ease.

bends TO the gale, an old one snaps and

| The CosT OF MILITARY SYsTEMs.-The
Berlin Post presents some interesting
| figures showing the strength of the ar
mics at the command of the three en-
perors ho lately met in council in that
| city, and those of other European pow
ers, which may be briefly summarized
as follows: Kaiser William has / ,052,
506 men; the Gar of Russia, has, not in
Guiding the Cossacks, l 1862, AGA men; the
Emperor CT Austria has $500 men;
France has sos, 537 men under arms; It.
ally has 501,9 men; England, 154 900
men; and Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Spain and Tur key together. 9S1, ,364 men
Thus we have the enormous total of s.
| $50, ,S9S men who make arms q profess
sion. These men, in the prime of life
and the full development of strength
and capacity for labor, are not only
withdrawn from useful production to
live in idleness at the expense of the
State, but their maintenance and equip
ment must give constant employment to
many thousands of producers whose Ia
bors can thus contribute nothing to the
welfare of the community; and when we
consider the valne of the producing Ca
pacity which is thus practically wasted,
we can gain some idea of the burdens
imposed upon labor and capital for the
maintenance of military establi shments
Fortunately, wars are becoming so cost
ly that nations will not hong be able to
afford to engage in them, and we think
the time is not far distant when the peo-
die of all countries Will demand that the
burden of standing armies shall be for
ever lifted from their patient shoulders.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. The Phila-
delphia Press gives an interesting report
of ar interview between the President
and the Pennsylvania politicians, in the
matter of the appointment of Post
master for Philadelphia. The delega-
tion embraced many of the leading Re-
publican politicians of the State, inclu8-
ing Senator Cameron, Gen. Harntranft,
the Governor ele t, the Mayor of Phila-
delphia, and others, all urging the ap-
pointment of the chairman of the Re
publican Committee of Philadelphia,
solely on the ground of reward for the
party services he had rendered during
! the late election. The Mayor presented
the address, setting forth in glowing
terms the claims of the candidate upon
the party. The President listened with
quiet dignity to the address, and then in
formed the delegation that not only his
personal inclinations but the platform
upon which he was elected, compelled
him to deny their petition. He felt
bound to carry out, in good faith. the
principles of civil service reform to
which the party was pledged. and should
therefore appoint the Deputy Postmas-
ter, who had been found faithful and
competent to the trust. The delegation
left the presence very much discomfited,
and some of them manifesting hostile
intent towards the President. This first
manifestation of the Presidents policy
since his reelection, has produced great
excitement among the bread-and- butter
politicians. whose zeal was excited sole
" by hopes of reward, and it is expect
ed that it will result in an open rupture
lin the party. The New York Times, the
eadino Republican organ comments up
on this as follows:
"Onr Washington dispatches speak
of a possible attempt on the part of GER
tain congressman to embarrass thePresi-
dent in the completion of Civil Service
Reform. 1t is not impossible that such
an attempt may be made but we have
no fear of the result. Indeed, the only
persons who need fear ere the Congress
men. who engage in the scheme. The
Presidents plan is a perfectly sincere
effort to accomplish needed reform
Do the congressman referred to mear
to deny the need of reform, or to ques
ton the method? If the former, they

The State of Minnesota proposes to
test the power of the Legislature to limit
the rates of freight and passage upon
the railways doing business under the
corporation laws of that commonwealth.
In 1872 law was passed prescribing a
tariff of rates for freight and passengers,
and making 1t the duty of the Attorney
General to file complaint and prose-
cute every company guilty of violating
the act by overcharges. The penalty
for such violation is the forfeiture of all
corporate franchises; and the courts are
pom conviction Of any corporation un-
der the law, to decree the dissolution
thereof, and appoint receiver to wind
up its affairs. And in addition to these
proceedings, which can only be taken at
the instance of the State, the individual
aggrieved by the violation of the law,
may maintain an action in his ownname
and recover one thousand dollars as fix
ed and liquidated damages.
Two actions are now pendingand will
be taken to the Supreme Court to test
the constitutionality of this act; and the
State Railway Commissioner, A. J. Ed
gert' n, Esq, thinks there is little doubt
that the law will be sustained. Its Sc
verify may have tendency toward de-
feating its object, as it is sometimes the
case that the courts are more or less IN
fiuenced in their decisions by consider
atiors of the gravity of the conse
qnences that may follow.
The Bsston Commercial Bulletin has
the following:

aeo. Leavenworth, in Kansas, was the
most fiourishing and prosperous city
west of St. Louis and east of the Rocky
Mountains, and at the same time Kansas
City. only few miles from there, was
the most dilapidated. Now Kansas City
has population of over 10000 and is
lhe leading commercial city between st.
Louis and San Francisco, and Leaven-
worth has not advanced step during
that time, with superior advantages of
location and the prestige of growth
which promised to distance all rivalry.
A few days since an intelligent gentle
man who had resided in both of those
cities was in our Office, and we asked
him the reason of the remarkable change,
which could not be accounted for on
any Typographical. or commercial prir-
ciples. He promptly answered that it
Was owing entirely to the superiority
of tho Kansas City newspaper press over
that of its rival city. He said that the
proprietors of Kansas City spent thou
sands in sustaining the very best news
paper abilities, and the investment had
returned millions of dollars to them il
building up their town, and the result is
acknowledged by all the business men
of that city. The same is true of all
towns possessing any of the elements of
success. No merchant or business man
was ever known to be remarkably sue
cessful in business who was not liber-
al advertiser, and the same rule applies
to communities as well. Every news
paper is properly regarded by all strang-
ers as the most certain index of the in
telligence, thrift, enterprise and general
prosperity of the locality in which it is
published.
jay Cooke & Co. have expended hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in adver-
tising the advantages of Washington
Territory through elegantly written
pamphlets and circulars, all of which
lacked the local authenticitywhich would
give them credit abroad and in fact rath-
er damaged the cause which they were
intended to serve, by their fanciful des-
criptions, after the professional adver-
tising style. Ten per cent. of money
expended in sustaining and circulating
creditable local newspaper would have
served the purpose much better. At an
emigrant meeting held at the Cooper In
stitute. New York, last season, Horace
Greeley exhibited a copy of the PUGET
SOUND DISPATCH, read and endorsed ex-
tracts from the same, as more reliable
source Of information than any journal
of travels. Interested parties abroad
are not less interested in our advertising
columns, marine reports and weekly fl
nancial review, than in the mere des-
criptive articles in the paper and many
have conceived a better opinion of our
material prosperity from these practical
facts than from all the puffs that have
published by interested parties.
Every citizen of town is as much
interested in maintaining creditable
newspaper as in any other project calcu-
lated to be for the public benefit. While
supported and well conducted newspa-
per is of inestimable advantage in pro-
noting TIE growth and prosperity of the
town; feeble, starveling press is Il pro-
portionate disadvantage.

them suggest some better method"
If the President adheres to this pol
icy, as we believe he will, he will have
no more earnest supporters than those
who honestly and sincerely opposed his
reelection for the purpose of securing
this much needed reform in the civil
service, and he will have the opposition
only of mercenary and time serving pol
!ticians, whose support he can now well
afford to dispense with.
