HARD TO OVERCOME.

Carl Schurz relates, in recent
lecture, that he once heard Abraham
Lincoln say, rs he pointed to a crowd
of office seekers. 1--WE have over
come the rebellion, but here is an
evil that will be hard to- overcome"
Each succeeding administration
proves these words prophetic, and SO
far from overcoming the evil, about
all that has been done by either par
ty so far, has been to embody a civil
service plank in every political plat.
form, there to lie and rot until an
other convention. Not much can
he expected from the professional
politician, who thinks he sees the
rain of his trade in system of ap-
p,intmcnts governed by competitive
examination. The fact that the PEG
pie themselves are moving, outside
Of party lines, is our chief ground of
hope. The problem of checking this
great evil no longer meets with
SCOTS and jecrs, as utopian and i'm
practicable, but it has grown to be
even fashionable to discuss it. Shrewd
public men recognize civil service
reform as the paramount political
issues of the future, and are liberal
with theories of reform, while chary
about carrying these theories into
effect.
Competitive examination seems
fairest and surest solutien of the diff.
fculty. We again quote from Mr.
Schurz's speech:
The system of competitive cxamin
alton has succeeded, and is infinitely
better than things are carried on now
! have tried it and proved it. Now
what can be moro democratic thar
that everybody shall have chance
according to merit. There is not
much aristocracy in this, notwith
standing some persons claim that s
competitive examination system
would create an aristocracy in Office
do not claim that it would bring
about a millennium, but it will give
better public prosperity, and conse
quent greater prosperity to the coun
try. 1t will relieve women who arr
at the mercy of public men, and ele
waite. modesty: it will raise the who'll
character of politics, and show tina
Offices are places Of trust and not re
wards for party service; it will rails
lift UP Congress; it will destroy tn
political bosses; it will teach youn
men to- study the interests Of tn
country from, u public standpoint

Tho Worlil Of Art.

Art has large place and great
influence in the world, and it is an
undcniable fact that progressive civ
ilization may be guaged by the de-
gree of attention paid to objects of
refined beauty and pure, elevating
loneliness. 1t is no: many years
since, that good pictures could only
be afforded by the very rich, but
now all this is changed, and works
of art of real merit are within the
ready means of all, and few homes
there are in which are not to be
found evidences of culture in the
right direction.
Home should be and could be
made the most desirable place for
all members of the family, and not
least among its attractions can the
pictures with which it is adorned be
regarded. Those of the rising gen.
Grafton, who are brought up under
refined influences, will become our
| noblest men and women of the flu
ture. In no way can the attractive
ness of homo be increased so cheaply
and effectively as by the addition OF
beautiful pictures. Pictures that but
a::few years since cost large sums OF
money may now be purchased fol
the veriest trifle, and if the lcas,
judgment is brought to bear in the
selection, works Of real merit may
be had; or if the purchaser has nc
taste in such matters, all that il
necessary is for him to be sure tina
he purchases the goods of reliable
house. In this connection it may b.
proper for us to mention the great
Art Publishing firm of Messrs
j George Stinson & Co., Portland
Maine, who, during the last year
have sold over ten millions of pic
lures. 1t is believed that they pay
more for postage stamps than any
other house, not only in this coun
try, but in the whole world at large
During the year 1879 they paid fol
postage stamps over eighty-sever
thousand dollars. During the yea1
1880 they paid over one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars fol-
postage stamps, and this year their
postage bill will amount tt
about one hundred and fifty thous
and dollars. Thus it will be seen
that Messrs. Stinson & Co. pay a
least the three hundredth part of al
the postage collected by the United
States government, and it should be
remembered thyt we have nearly
fifty thousand postofices, and ter
thousand newspapers. While such
great sums are paid for postage, the
fact should not be lost sight of tina
only the smaller packages are Sent
by mail, all large orders being sem
by express or freight.
i We have lately received four ele
giant steel engravings, published by
Messrs. Stinson & Co., and do zel
beautiful chrome flower panels; al
are fine works of art, and do credi,
to the publishers. The steel engrav
ings are very large-size of each sc
by 20 inches. The plates were en-
graved in London by well-knowr
English masters of art, and cost
when they came into the owner
hands in Portland, custom dutie
paid, some sixty-two thousand dol
lars. These engravings are of tn
class that sell in Europe for tire,
guineas per copy, which is over fif
teen dollars. These elegant engrav
ings are entitled "Choosing tn
Wedding Gown" "The Prayer TO
Health," "Tending Coats and eth
Highland Hearth"
