Tue NEW ADMINISTRATION.


An extra session of tine United States
Senate has been called 10y the president,
and this means changes in the cabinet
and other offices.
How great the changes will be we
cannot yet tell,h theprobabilities are.
trom The present indications that there
will be hut one Of The old cabinet
retained.
1t is to lie expected that Mr.. Arthur
viii surround himself with his own
personal friends, sooner OF later. But
it certainly would be more respectful to
the late president. 10 lei the changes
come gradually. and it would be in ac
cordance with the wishes of a very large
majority of the American people.
President Garfield cabinet was an able
one. aS much 50 perhaps as any proceed
ing cabinet. Everything was running
smoothly; each of the departments being
we'll managed. and the people were sat
isiied. The assassination of President
Garfield was 4 severe blow to the Amer
lean people, and the change from the
late president TO the new. was one OF
the results winch they dreaded: and
now on the heels of all that TO make a
wholesale change in the cabinet so soon
CRATES harshly.
The new president occupies position
different from what he would. had he
been elected directly to the presidency
by tue people. II Is more delicate: and
4 little yielding TO the popular will
would seem wiser than a persistent
following of his own inclination, and
The advice of friends. some of whom al
ready are giving evidences of a spirit
Of revenge. and disposition to chuckle
ever the advantage which the death of
President Garfield gave them.
1t is all nice enough to say that Mr..
Arthur is president. and ought to do as
he chooses. SO he should if he choos-
Is 10 do right. But stubborn course
IN opposition to what the history of the
country. for the last six months. has
proven TO he the wish of the people.
would moi tend TO multiply the politi.
cal friends of The president, or add to
the success OF his administration. John
Tyler. tried that course. and so did An
drew johnson. A repetition of the spec
tac!e would not be a very desirable one
either for the president OF the nation.
General Arthur is president, and he
Will have the hearty support of the re-
publican party.aS long as his administra-
hon gives evidence of earnest efforts for
national prosperity honesty OF purpose,
and disposition TO rise above iactional
iayorltism.

lIeAIHIns LITERATURE.

MI. VI. VI. Sul1ti Ol NcW lOTk lily
better known under the non Mflum
of Bricktop, wrote his humorous bool
on the Centennial in one night. HI
and his artist, Mr.. Worth, went from
New York to Philadelphia, and spen
two days there in sketching, and plan
ing for the work 1t was to be a bool
of humor for the occasion, and every
thing depended on the rapidity of it,
issue and circulation.
After having completed their plan:
and Mr.. Worth having made drawing.
for the book, they returned to New
York. The train in which they came
was delayed, and it was six o'clock be-
fore they arrived in the city.
81 did not get home," said Mr.
Small, until after seven O'Clock. Af
ter tea, at nine, my wife asked me if
was not tired enough to retire. l told
her no, that had promised Mr.. Worth
to do all | could on the book that
night, as we wanted the manuscript OF
at least part of it in the hands of the
printer the next morning. l was a
that time editor of HTAd Oats hu.
morous publication, which demanded
a great deal of my time. After ten
that evening l began to write on the
book"
ideas suggested themselves to me
rapidly, and l wrote as fast as my pen
would move which is not slow. With 4
wet towel about my head, l fought off
drowsiness and WEAKNESS. When l
grew weak along about three O'Clock
in tie morning, l took a draught of
brandy and continued. My strength
seemed returned but no other effects
were perceivable. When again grew
weary again supplied my strength
with that which was artificial. Just as
the sun arose over the broad Atlantic
l finished my book, laid aside my pen
and went to bed. After sleeping four
hours l arose, ate hearty breakfast,
and took my MS to the publishers.
That day it was set in type, the next it
was printed and the third the books
bound and on sale l would not ad-
wise others to follow my plan. yet it
served me well in this extreme case.'
"Your book was success was it
not9" we asked.
"Yes far better than we hoped.

and seeing the runaways rushing to-

doing SO fell, receiving the injuries
above stated. The cause of the run
away was the singing of Mr.. Cooks
horses by bees while stopping at Mr..

While it may be rather unreasonable,
with the thermometer in the nineties, to
discuss the question of winters fuel sup
ply, yet as this is problem that cannot be
solved in day and matter of vital inter
est to us all, it is important that immediate
action be taken in the premises. Our ex-
perience last season taught us that in order
TO prevent fuel famine, an adequate sup
ply should be procured carly in the season
and at time when transportation can be
obtained. If our coal and wood yards are
TO be stocked with fuel for the winters use,
now is the time to lay in supply, for de.
mand for coal or wood will come at time
when the freight lines and fuel companies
are crowded with business. and when j.
will be impossible to guard against delays
in filing orders and in transportation.
There is also another question to be con-
siderod in this connection. Heretofore we
have been able to procure temporary sup
ply from the railroad company's yard when
our dealers were out of wood. but as the
engines now burn coal, and as the COM
pany will not have supply of wood Oh
hand for their own use, we VIII not nave a
stock on hand IRON which to draw during
n blockade or when scarcity occurs from
