stories in business hours.
If you have q place of business, be
found there when wanted. No man
can get rich sitting around stores and
saloons. Never "fooi'' on business
matters. Ii you have to work for a

Make your place of business pleasant

We happened to know he had long
before concluded II was public policy
that the taxation should be reduced

have had placed 10 our hands, by
parties in Washington who perceived
our intimacy with Mr.. Allison, at

from Chem postmaster in this
District, proposing, II he could be
retained In Office through Grants

the first years postal receipts in full.
We also found that his successor was
promptly appointed. We could also
record innumerable deeds Of kindness
performed in behalf OF persons perhaps
of other States, nscessitating the
expenditure OF time and trouble and
money, for which IL was from the
nature Of the cases impossible that he
should receive any direct or indirect

Hreci0n Rrigand0ge.

Poor Greece seems to be perpetually going from bad to worse. Large sums of money are spent yearly there for the SUD- pression of brigandage. yet the brigands increase, and are scarcely ever brought to justice. In'two years forty-seven persons are known to have been murdered by these outlaws, twenty-one wounded, and nineteen released on ransoms, while of the fate of i07 others, known to have been captured by the robber bands noth- ing has been ascertained whatever. Six of the ransomed persons had to pay, ag- gregately, about one hundred thousand dollars, which is said to be more than the cost of all the Greek Missions and Lega- tions abroad. The roads are affirmed to be not so good as they were in the days of Pericles, and the army is shamefully mismanaged and it would really seem that things could not be worse if the bri- gands had entire control of the whole country, instead of, as now, e oongidera- ble part of it. MT. Watson, who succeed ed MT. Edward Herbert as British Secre- tary of Legation at Athens, has just pulp lished an account of the state of affairs there. which is dark indeed. He says that Greece is hopelessly insolvent and hopelessly ill-governed. Athens itself is beleaguered city, the number and au- dacity of the brigands making it quite unsafe to venture into the environs, and the annual expenditures of the government for seven years, have greatly exceeded the receipts. There seems to be hardly a ray of hope for Greece, unless some strong, daring man should arise to achieve the patriotic work of reform, and even such an one, were he Perlcles him
 self, could hardly change the degenerate spirit of the people.
