The Corset Candidate.

1t would not be a strange thing if
that corset business beat General Han
cock worse than ever man was beaten
before.
An ill-starred courtier of Henry the
Eighth tried to give plumpness to thin
leg by stuffing his tight breeches with
bran. 1t was his only weakness, and
he was a man of fine intellect. Advent
we'll until, by mortifying accident,
his breeches got ripped one day, when
his plump leg collapsed in the presence
of lords and ladies. That fixed him.
1t will fix Hancock.
That corset will become famous. 1t
will ridicule the Democratic candidate
out of the campaign, and possibly de-
throne his reason.
There may be thousand better rea-
sons why Hancock should be defeated
than because he wears a corset, but
none will be so potent. 1t will laugh
him out of million votes. There isn't
man in the country strong enough to
stand it. From the strong, rough miner
of the Pacific slope to the broad-shoul-
dered puddler in the furnaces of Penn
sylvania, the word will go along the
line, +" No corsets in ours" and the
BOYS won't have it.
The plowman of Ohio will turn up his
nose at such candidate.
The ejean-trousered native of Southern
Indiana will "dod rot him."
The muscular young fellows of the
city gymnasiums will sneer at him, and
men everywhere will laugh at the cor
set candidate.
Corsets have killed many a foolish
woman, it is said. Now they will prove
their destructive character by taking
off a first-class Democratic candidate.
Hancock will be squeezed to death by
that corset. Chicago Inter- Ocean.

Learn to Unite Strings.

One story of the eccentric Stephen
Girard says that he once tested the
quality of boy who applied for sit
uation by giving him match loaded
at both ends, and ordering him to light
it. The boy struck the match, and aft
er it had burned about half its length,
threw it away. Girard dismissed him
because he did not save the other end
for future use. The boys failure to
notice that the match was doubfe-end
one was natural enough, considering
how matches are generally made; but
haste and heedlessness Ia habit OF
careless observatory are responsible for
a great part of the waste of property in
the world.
Said one of the most successful mer-
chants of Cleveland, Ohio, day or two
since, to lad who was opening par
Gel, young man, unite those strings
don't cut them"
1t was the first remark he had made
to a new employe. 1t was the first
lesson the lad had to learn. and it in
volved the principles of success or fail
ure in business career. Pointing to
well-dressed man behind the counter,
he said:
"There is a man who always whips
out his scissors and cuts the strings of
the packages in three or four places.
He is a good salesman, but he will
never be anything more. Ipresume he
lives from hand to mouth, and l pre-
sumo is more or less in debt. The
trouble with him is that he was never
taught to save.
II told the boy just now to unite the
string, not so much for the value of the
string, as to teach him that everything
is to be saved, and nothing wasted. IT
the idea can be firmly impressed upon
the mind of a beginner in life that
nothing was made to be wasted, you
have laid the foundation of success

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
The appointment OF citizens to the various
executive and judicial offices Of the Govern
ment is perhaps the most difficult of all the
upon the Executive. The Constitution wise
ly demands that Congress shall cooperate
with the Executive Departments in placing
the civil service on q better basis. Expert
ence has proved that, with our frequent
changes of administration, no system Of re-
form can be made effective aud permanent
without the aid of legislation. Appoint
ments to the military end naval service are
so regulated by law and custom as to leave
but little ground Of complaint. 1t may not
be wise to make similar regulations by law
for the civil service; but, without in
cretion Of the Executive, Congress should

they are deliberate convictions resulting from
q careful study of the spirit Of our institu-

these principles should control the legislation

About Staying Too Long In Friendly
Visits. sT

ONE class of persons will need an
especial amount of grace this summer.
We mean those women who, having
worked hard in their homes all winter,
are visited by their city friends all
summer. Perhaps they have married
the sons who by fate of fortune have
kept the old homes. All the brothers
and sisters, with their troops of chill
dren, must come back to the shade
trees and meadows for quiet rest.
Perhaps they have no special love for
the woman who presides over the old
time house, but it is such convenient
thing to have a place to visit where
there are no board bills to pay. Ten to
one, the wife in the country is more
worn than her city relatives, and is in
no wise able to bear the extra care or
manage the additional cooking. For
by force of circumstances, she has been
dressmaker, milliner and servant, may
be, in her large family the whole year
through. She has turned dresses
wrong side out and upside down. She
has maete.axery dime 90 its far
to use up all herself-sacriice has saved.
IL might have been pleasant to have re-
ceived them for three days, but when
they remain three months, the case is
different. We once heard gentleman
remark that he "could say all the new
things he had to say to visitors in one
day,n and, as a rule, we quite agree
with him. The cheapest way to visit is
to go to hotel or boarding house, and
pay an equivalent for what one receives.
OF course, one has congenial friends
whom it is pleasure to see much and
often; but too many so-called friends
are persons who are serving their own
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES who never offer
to help in kitchen or parlor, and who
seem oblivious to the fact that anything
is being done for them. Don't make
your summer trip at the expense of
anybody's comfort. Let your religion,
if you profess it, permeate all your
plans, especially those for summer WIS.,

D6- General Grant denies that he
ever said he would support Hancock or
would vote for him. The story was a
lie out of whole cloth. The man upon
whom the Republicans conferred the
highest military Office and the highest
civil Office in the country is not likely
to turn Democrat now because the
Democrats have nominated the man
who wanted to run against him in 1868.

D@ Within the time which has
elapsed since Hancock's nomination the
Democrats have carried Indiana, Penn
sylvania, New York, New. Jersey and
Connecticut, and have begun to divide
the offices. The Republicans. being
more modest, are willing to wait till
November before they carry any States
except Ohio and Indiana. This division
of labor makes the Democrats very
happy and affords the Republicans sub
stantial pleasure, thus creating gen.
uine era of good feeling.

Pleasures Of Eating.

"WE have frequently been inclined
to think" says an English reviewer,
that the most generally delightful pas
sages in fiction are those which describe
eating and drinking. To mention no
other case, it is interesting to see how
carefully Scott arranges hls victualing

mont and Van Beest, Brown, and the
doings of the knight of the Fetterlock

to give oneself an appetite for dinner.

for the pleasure with which an audience
always contemplates the consumption
of imaginary fo)d at theatrical BAN

SKETCH OF CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
Gen. Chester A. Arthur, the nomi-
nee of the Republican party for the
Vice Presidency. is one of the best
known politicians in the State of New
York. He is man of high character,
strict integrity, and of fine intellectual
power He is native of the State of
New York, and is now close upon fifty
years of age. For the most of his
life he has been engaged in mercantile
pursuits. He served in the war of the
rebellion, winning his way to the rank
of Major General. During the period
that he filled the position of Collector
of the Port of New York, he was noted
for his fine executive ability. The of
flee was exceptionally well managed,
and when President Hays removed
him, along with Cornell and Sharpe,
it was expressly stated that no fault
was found with his administration of
the Office. He was removed because,
in defiance of the famous civil service
order of the President, he took an ac-
tive part in State politics, serving on
the State Central Committee and go
ing to conventions. He was one of
Conkling's most trusted lieutenants,
and has been frequently spoken of of
late as candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed Senator
