Every young man, after he has chosen
his vocation, should stick to it. Don't
leave it because hard blows are to be
struck, or disagreeable work PeFf5rmed.
Those who have worked their way upto
wealth and usefulness, do not belong to
the shiftless and unstable clas0, but may
be reckoned among such as took off their
coats, rolled up their sleeves, and con
quered their prejudices against labor,
and manfully bore the heat and burden
Of the day.

a FREE THING.-A few liberal, en- .er-
prising gentleman have at last succeeded
in establishing a Free Ferry over Hate HE
River, The boat, which is new and
substantial one, is located at point IN
the river midway between "The Grape
Vine Thicker" and the 'Old Log Yard,
about 2 miles east by north-eas Of Boli>
var, and all that is now needed is to open
aroad on each side of the rize1 to the
crossing. We learn that petition is be-
ing signed, asking the County Court to
a sist in the good work, and we do not
hesitate a moment to believe that the
prayer will meet with hearty approval.
The distance fIom the new ferry to a con-
Yenient point on the Walnut Grove road
Is not more than D miles. This is the
most accessible route, and the road should
be opened at once. So far as this side is
concerned, but I;ttle cutting and clearing
will be required, and ouly one slough will
have to be bridged in order to give a rood
that can be travelled at all times From
Bolivar to the Ferry the road should run
thus Out the Purify road TO point
west o. Mrs. Lewis thence north 20 Ee
the head of the Watson Pond, thence
almost due east to the river, thence across
the valley and hills to the Walnut Grove
road The opening of this new public en-
Tprise will be of great benefit to many
of our citizens, and We commend to the
Honorable County Court the petitions
which, in all probability, will be present
ed next Monday, asking for the right of
way and means to establish the Scott

Mr. Samuel Russell, Jr., of Paris, Tens

with an accident which caused his in
slant death We learn that he had dis
charged one barrel of his gun, and was
in the act of blowing into it, when the
other barrel fired, literally blowing of
the top of his head. The deceased was
son of Colonel K. S. Russell, of the
Railroad Hotel, Paris, formerly proprie-
tor Of the Southern Hotel and also Of the
Railroad Hotel in this place. He was a
young man who had won for himself
many warm friends, ADD his untimely
end will be deeply regretted by all who
knew him.

cause under President Grant there has been
a real beginning Of reform made. Public at
tention has been earnestly directed to the
subject. Arbitrary removal for partisan rea-
sons 10 more difficult and more scandalous
than 1t was. Political assessments have un-
questionably been obstructed. The principle
Of promotion in the service is more steadily
regarded. Appointments in the departments
At Washington have been strictly made upon
prescribed and honest examinations, Under
Immense difficulties, known only to those who
are familiar with the circumstances, a sincere
reform has begun. Those who find that it is
only beginning, and who cite instances in
which there Is an evident disregard of the
principles of the reform, and who sneer that
such instances prove the whole movement to
be dishonest and q fragrant sham, merely
prove themselves to be extremely foolish. A
system intrenched in the traditions and con-
victions of the country for forty years, which
is most heartily approved by the vast MAORI
~ Of the chief appointing officers in the SER
vice, and which Is sustained by an enormous
majority Of all parties in Congress. is not to
be suddenly changed, or reformed, or even
modified. To expect the President alone to
reform it is to expect the Pope to reform the
Church.
Indeed, the practical effort at reform is due
10 President Grant. Except for his earnest
representations to Congress that body would
have done nothing; and the moment that it
showed assent to the Presidents wishes he
proceeded. But he proposed to have no pol
icy against the wishes of the people. In his
message transmitting the report and rules to
Congress, on the 18Th of December of last
year, he says: eff LETT to me, without further
Congressional action, the rules prescribed by
the Commission, under the resersa tioH alrea
dy mentioned, will be faithfully executed. .
The reservation is the full power to abridge.
alter, or amend the rules, at his option, when
changes may be deemed advisable. This was
indispensable in the beginning of such re-
form. Congress gave the full power to the
President, and he very properly refused to
delegate 1t To say that it was an evasion OF
the whole matter is to impeach his good faith.
And if that is questioned, the entire scheme,
which, by the Constitution and by the assent
OF Congress, depends wholly npon him, nee
essarily falls.
