THE Washington Star says: "An
aspiring colored gentleman Of Geor-
gia wrote, not long ago, TO the Pres
ident that he had labOred hard TO
obtain for him 'pluralities' Of his
precinct, and asking him for a local
situation or a position among your
Cabinet advisers He informed the
President that nc could obtain strict
recommendation that he had at
tended the University of the State
for three years, and that ne is n
'whole-souled Republican, He
closes with the request: 'Give me
your ideas upon your circumstances
of this asking His case was re-
ferred to one Of the departments,
and after consultation with the die
tiOnary, he addressed the Secretary
in a letter indorsed on the outside
by himself, i'm which he says: II
take the authorities Of the most
humblest humilities and earnestly
ask for n position under your pro-
Visions He thanks the Secretary
in advance kindly and lovingly
and adds: please send me your
future expectations. ! think you
the greatest i'm the world to put it
upon me- He concludes Il will
awaite your reply and the proba-
bility is that he is still 'awaiteing."

We are not generally disposed to
believe in "mute, inglorious Mil
TONS" If a man be really Milton,
he will make himself heard in some
way or other. The case is adlnissi-
BILE, however, of poet dying before
he has commanded the worlds at
tention. This might have happened
to Milton himself if he had died
when he had written only the Lyc-
idas and some other of his early
poems. Though the Lycidas is an
exquisite poem and contains touches
that none but Milton could have
given it, he would, had he stopped
there, have probably been indebted
to some happy editor who rescued
the gem from the sand-heap for the
worlds knowledge of him.
The following poem was written
by an author, Richard E. Day, who
may or may not be alive, for the
preface to his published poems does
not determine the question. If he
be still alive, we shall hear more of
him if dead, then we have lost one
who might have been a poet of
mark:
THE BUILDERS.
Beneath the Caribbean waves,
Where few and faint the sunbeams smile,
Wee builders rear the architraves
OF some majestic pile.
The toiling insect turns to stone.
The monumental tree doth rise,
And ne'er it adds a coral zone
Save as an insect dies.
1t lifts the pillows from its head,
1t gathers sunbeams in its boughs,
And 'gainst its twigs of white and red
Huge navies crate their prows.
A sound from out its heart doth creep,
That floats its stony leaves along,
A Memnons statue in the deep,
That turns its voice to song.
Within existence's sombre flow,
Along the line of truth s dim ray,
Our human hands are rearing slow
Some pillar to the day.
We build our souls into a reef,
That rises through the ages sure;
'Tis red with joy, tits white with grief,
Life'S currents wash it pure.
Let ocean beat it's flinty base
And dash against its crest sublime,
1t laughs the tempest from its face,
1t spurns the shocks of time.
Yes something deathless we bequeath:
Each deed divine, each word deVout,
Made hearts and lips of men, do breathe
A tender gospel out.
'Tis grand to change the silent will
To acts, TO perish in the might
And leave monument that still
Gropes upward to the light.

 BHID YPoRT. CoSs.. February II. 1873. Dr. J. D. S. SMiTHi
 Dear Sir :-I wish to stEte for the benefit of the afflicted that my daughter nuw twelve years old became afflicted about seven years ago with dis ease Of the right hip, md for i've years she was unable to walk without the aid of crutches. Tho circulation of the blood in the limb had ceased, and the muscle had shrunk to mere skeleton.
 Her ease had been examined by eminent phyHi cians here and in the New York College of phyd cians and Surgeons" none of whom gave us any encouragement 10 hope that my relief could be afforded. Last Spring by the advice of friends placed her under your care. Within ten days from your first "treatmcnt" she began to improve and within three months she throw away her cntches. And now the muscle Inns hecono hard and nearly as large as ifs mate and she has rocoy cred entirely from all disease of the limb and with the exception of tho difference in tho length of the limbs ttho reason of which is obvious to a she is completely cured for which VIC feel most deeply and sincerely grateful to you.

General Mcclellan looks upon Mr. Mills, Of Texas.
"A most gifted prophet.
Jones rises from another perusal of that 1000
silver report and remarks that he is confident. 50 is
the country.
Even the most pcrspicacous reformcr can profit
by that invaluable MAXIM BE sure you're right !;
then go ahead"
Mr.. 1ilden winks thoughtfully to himself az who
should say: "Isympathize with your family. Mr..
Mills. You are doomed"
Amherst College shows no disposition to dispense
with President Seclyes scryces,ln spite of his child
like innocence Perhaps the students have not
found hlm out yet.
Mr. Manton Marble makes a square denial of
judge McI.n' charges, and Incorporates the same
in thrilling reproduction of his own private
variation of the "fraud" war whoOp. Strangely,
me World publishes the contribution Ill its most
obscure and inaccessible column
The venerable Senator from Maine gave Stanley
Matthews an uncOmmonly good piece of advice when
he told him to grin and bear the newspaper COM
ments upon his public career. Ii there is any vir
tue in the prescription Mr. Matthews ought to know
It by this time. for Eo has had short but most
abundant experience.
Why Mr.. Bristow's friends should take this time
TO throw him at the head OF the pubic as ireSl-
Dental candidate is a good deal of conundrum. Ii
will require a dinner a week. with an accompanying
speech. to keep him in mind, and two years of that
sort of demonstration will be expensive and weari-
some as well as futile.
Secretary Sherman is quoted as saying he believes
in using silver. but only for honest purposes Upon
this is based prediction hat he will secure COM
promise. The silver agators will never compro-
mise ON that basis. There is not man Of them
who does not declare thathc wants unlimited silver,
or none at all. This is well.
The President is evidently believer in the ef-
fcacy of a fire of coal on the head of his enemy.
He says of General Ewing that he is a gentleman in
politics which il more charitable than truthful.
General Ewing has rantcd more coarsely about the
President than amost any other Democrat. and ii

bunal upon Mr.. Hewitt, but they make great miss
take If they think that burden is all the one which
will bother him when he attempts to switch ths
party around again in 1880. The South has never
forgotten or orforgven that letter Southam claims
and that cannot be put off on Mr.. Hewitt or anybodv
else. Upon the South depends Mr. Tildens fate, and
while he undoubtedly has faith In his ability TO con-
troll it, as he did in 1876, still it would be great
help to him if this letter could be annihilated in
some way.
Governor Bishop, of Ohio, is no chicken He has
adopted policy which will endear him to the Demo
cratic heart and make him President, if anything
can. At the close of his third day in Office he could
look over the list of offices within his control and
say truly that there not in any of them an in
cumbent who had ever dreamed of voting the Repub.
lcan ticket. Crippled soldiers negroes and orphan,
had all been "bounced' without mercy, and rock.
ribbed Democrats put in their places. This is the
sort of man the hungry refOrmer wants to in the
White House. Your Uncle Dick has grasped the
Democratic theory of Civil Service in all its beauty
like the statesman that he is, and the heart of tie
great party will thrill with delight when it behods
his action.
