LoAv1Sc.-We quote the following
from an exchange, and we recommend
it to all our readers:
young man, pay attention. Don't
be loafer; don't keep loafer's COM
pany; don't hang about loafing places.
Better work than to sit around day af-
ter day, or stand about corners with
your hands in your pockets-better for
your own health and prospects. Bustle
about if you have anything to hustle
about for. Many a poor physician has
obtained real patient by riding after
an imaginary one. A quire Of blank
paper, tied with red tape, carried I'M
der lawyers arm, may procure him
his first case and make his fortune.
Quit dreaming and complaining; keep
busy and mind your chances"

A DELupEp Overwhelmingly has an
entirely bald head, and it is related of
him (the story is not ours), that once
when he was at the Geological Gar
dens, in Paris, the day was warm and
he laid down on one of the benches and
went to sleep. After a while he was
awakened by a sense of sufiocation,
and when he opened his eyes he found
that something covered his face. He
began to struggle to release himself,
and the next moment a gigantic ostrich
leaped up and began to prance down
the path. The ostrich had observed the
top of Lumley's head, and installing it
for one of it's eggs, had begun to set
upon it for the purpose of Matching it..
Lumley has since worn a wig; and
when he goes among ostriches he keeps
his hat on.

If we study closely into the matter
we will cease to wonder why more
borrowed umbrellas are not returned.
Did YOU ever undertake to return q
borrowed umbrella? You got this UNI
brella the night before. 1t was raining
in torrents at the time, and you could
not very we'll do without the shelter.
Il was to be returned the next morn
ing So you promised and so you hon.
estly intended. The next morning
breaks with a clear sky, the sun comes
forth and floods the earth with its ra,
dance. There is not f1eck of cloud
visible anywhere; there is not the faint
est indication in the atmosphere OF an
approaching disturbance. But the
change in nature great as it is, is no
greater than the transformation in that
Umbrella. The night before in the dash
ing rain it was a most appropriate
companion. At every step through the
dismal wet you thought of it with keen
pleasure. But now it is a striklngly
awkward contrivance-bristling with
animosity toward all out doors, and
YOU eve it with undisguised disfavor.
The more you think of escorting this
object down street through the bright
sunshine, of obtruding it like noisome
shadow among grateful and delighted
people-the more repulsive it appears
to you. In desperation you look about
for cloud-something that will in the
eyes of impartial men at least, save
you from contempt-but you do not lind
lit. Then you look about for a boy
anxious to distinguish himself as a
scape-goat, but don't find him: With
a heavy sigh you turn your back on the
obnoxious umbrella, and 60 to business.
1t needs rare courage, indeed, to return
an umbrella in the glare of bright
sun. A man may manipulate Congress,
capture countries, conquer disease,
control the elements, and yet lack the
nerve to propel borrowed umbrella
through the ripping and dancing sun
shine. DdnJuy Ne,cs.

An ApoIoGY.-The editor of West
ern paper once gave notice OF ball,
and happened accidentally to mention
that the dancing of Major Heelers bet
ter-half was like "the cavorting of a
fv-bitten cow in a field of cucumbers.'
The fact that the editor had not been
invited to the ball may somewhat de-
tract from the value of the simile. while
at the same time ii accounts for his es-
tablishing the figure. The Major, ac-
companied by his bettet-half and six

DEFERRED TELEGRAMS,

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Gen. Ketchum
called on the President at noon to-day,
and formally accepted the appointment
OF District Commissioner. He was Sc
lected after the President had had con-
sultation with Dennison and Blow, who
said the appointment would be very
agreeable to them. They will take the
oath of Office to-day, and expect to or.
ganize for business on Monday. A large
class OF citizens are looking for that
event, as the Commissioners will dis
burse about one million dollars among
the unpaid employees of the late District
Government.
The appointment OF Minister Jewell as
Postmaster General is received with
favor. Surprise is expressed that the
President should recall minister, who
has not been long at his post, to dis
charge the duties of an Office at home.
The settling Of his affairs in Russia, and
the time which will be necessarily occu.
pied on his return, will prevent him from
entering upon the Postmastership until
the first of August next as the law pro-
vides that during the absence Of a Cabi.
net officer, the appointment of an ad in.
term shall not continue for a longer
period than ten days; and as the absenc e
of Jewell will be for longer time the
President has fully commissioned the
First Assistant Postmaster General, Mar.

the duties of the position.
