l. FRIENDS.

1t must be refreshing to Garfield, con-
fronting the relentless Office seekers, to
catch an occasional glimpse of his Louis
lana friends, the face of old Wells, or of
Pitkin, or Of the truthful jerks. They
are all there ; not one has remained be-
bind.
Some people imagine that the Louis
ana rascal will be less fortunate under
this Administration than he was under
the last. But be evidently does not
think so himself. He has come early to
the feast, and has gone high up at the
board. He Is stillin the enjoyment of all
the Federal patronage in Louisiana con-
ferred upon him by the late Hayes, and
as yet nobody has proposed to disturb
him. Why, indeed, if there be gratitude
either in men or parties, should he feel
any uneasiness concerning the unclouded
future promised him only four years ago
by the mar who is now President, and by
the Ohio men then in his company? 1t
10 very true tDab Nells, AnuefSOn, anu
the two colored gentlemen did not d.
rectly create this Administration as they
did the last one. But it is nevertheless
true that in 1857 they held in hand the
fate of the Republican party for all time,
and but for them neither Hayes nor Gar
field would ever have seen the inside of
the White House. John Sherman, Gar
field, and the rest of the visiting states
men were then supplicants at their feet,
imploring them to save the Republican
party.
Will Garfield be unmindful of those
long hours of suspense while Wells and
Anderson were tempting the other side,
or Of the sense of relief which overfowed
at his pen when they decided to accept
the Republican terms, and he could ex-
claim, THANK God, Louisiana is saved!"
Has he forgotten his W vigils and la.
bors in that inner room Of the Custom
House, where a branch of the affidavit
mill was in operation under his personal
supervision?
No, no if the Louisiana rascal had a
dead grip on Hayes with one hand, he
laid a similar hold upon Garfield with the
other

THE Department Of State has over
500 applicants tor consular appointments,
of which there are only 1853 in the service
paying a salary of 81 1000 a year. In
thousands of Government offices, from
the President down, incidentals or per-
q~uisites add their mite to the cost of
the Government and the profit of the
o~f6ee-holders. As fixed by the law only
five consulates have a salary Of sc, 900,
two of $1,000, one of 81, 500, six Of
$4,000, eight Of So, 500, twenty-seven of
$1,000. forty.seven of 81, 500, and twenty
of $1,000. By law, also, all fees are to
be turned into the Treasury, but there is
an elastic belief rs to what constitutes a
"fee." In some of the larger consulates
a good income is obtained in taking &C.
acknowledgements to dispositions which
fall outside of the regular consular duties,
so that the salary itself is an unsafe
guide in reaching the real ~emoluments
Of an important consular Office. In the
lesser ones, the salary fails to meet ex-
penses in nine cases out of ten. In isn't
the salary that is wanted-oh, no; but
the honors and the perquis.tes, particu-
larly the perquisites.

Contrary to expectation and precedent
the new census shows that in this coun-
try the ruder sex o~utnumbers the gentler
to the extent OF nearly amillion. 1t is to
be sincerely hoped that nobody will say.

for this is manifestly one Of the cases in
which there really can be nothing done,
except t. feel uncomfortable. for the con
dition is not merely accidental and tenn
porary f; it promises to be permanent. for
the discouraging incorporation is not
simply between adults OF the two sexes,
but includes the entire population all
the way from extreme G down to the
cradle, and this in spite of all that Nor
mons and other agencies for the impotta-
ton Of domestic servants have done to
make the balance even. 1t therefore
stands to reason that not only Is the
genus old maid doomed to speedy ex-
tinction, but that nearly a million Of the
young men OF America will have to go
wifeiess unless each ono Dan raise the
price of a ticket to Europe and two
tickets back. 1t also becomes quite evil
dent that the local valuation Of women
will increase ; any market in which near
ly a million competitors are snre to get
left" in the struggle for something not
only desirable but absolutely necessary,
is threatened with a corner" that must
be simply gigantic in its proportions.
The ladies are to be congratulated on the
prospect they always were worth more
than they brought. Even in the days
when they o~utnumbered the men it was
agreed that it was impossible to have too
much Of a good thing !; now, however,
they can exact their own terms. Instead
of meekly submitting to all sorts of in
convenience and privation for the sake
Of being married and having a home they
now can make their own terms ; they
need not even endure husbands that
drink, smoke or spend several evenings a
week at the lodge, for rather than go
wifeless the tyrant man will abate his
pretentions and woman will become an
autocrat.

JUDGING from the comments which
have been provoked by the nomination
of Judge Robertson to the New York
Collectorship, Mr.. Garfield will find it as
difficult to please every one as did the
old man whose unfortunate but edifying
adventures with the household donkey
are the subject Of a familiar fable. How.
ever, if Mr.. Garfield keeps a stiff upper
hip and steadfastly carries out the broad
and liberal policy which he has inaugu.
rated, he may safely calculate upon COM
handing the approval and receiving the
support of the intelligent and -disinter-
ested public.

Food

Every man his own producer will OF
necessity become the rallying cry, if some
prompt action is not taken in respect to
food adulteration. The latest horror from
England is diseased horse flesh treated
with red ochre to give it a healthy appear
ance, and then manufactured into beef
sausage. A meal composed Of this, with
bread made from chalk, alum, potato -four,
etc., duly fabricated by oleomargarine,
rounded of. with Chicago cheese, i. O.,
transmogriied lard, and washed down
with a detection Of burnt beans, softened
by a preparation Of calves brains and
chalk, by way Of milk, and sweetened by
an extrast Of old rags and sawdust,
bleeched by acetic acid, might not aston
ish the somach OF an ostrich, but GER
tainly would fail to restore the exhausted
physical strength OF a laboring man. Yet
it can hardly be doubted now that many q
toiler makes just such a meal, and pays
the prce of wholesome food for it.

How to Prevent WRINKLES.

There is no such thing as wiping out
wrinkles. In men they are often honor
able evidence OF hard mental labor, in
they are usually the evidence Of
coming age, although care and suffering
have much to do with them. Sometimes
fair foreheads are prematurely wrinkled
from a nervous habit Of raising the eye
brows, and from a too great and too con-
slant pressure of the pillow or one or both
sides of the head while sleeping. And
Just here comes q fact worth remember
ing. If the forehead has escaped wrinkles,
crows feet are ~prematurely seen about the
corners of the eyes. We all see these
crows feet in men and women whose
brows are smooth and young looking.
They are the result Of sleeping OIL the right
and left sides. The pressure upon the
temples and cheeks leaves wrinkles at the
corners and underneath the eyes which
disappear in a few hours, but finally be-
come so fixed that neither hour nor ablu-
! tions will abate them. If girl children
we're compelled to sleep On their backs and
| continued the habit when they reached
| womanhood and afterward, they would ar
rive at middle life without crows feet
gathering in the neighborhood of the eyes.
and in most cases their foreheads would be
free from even shallow throws.

THE spectacle which is presented in
the United States Senate just now of the
great leaders of the two great parties Of
the country quarreling over two or three
petty offices is not calculated to impress
the people with a very great respect for
the dignity of that body. If there were
any principle involved in the contest the
unseemly wrangle might in some degree
be justified, but there is none. The
eloquence, the wit, the sarcasm and the
ridicule are all expended to save a little
patronage on the one hand or to acquire
it on the other. 1t is hard to say which
party is the more to blame. The thing
is disgraeeful all around.

"SIMPLY NONSENSE" is the comment
of the Cincinnati Gazette's Washington
correspondent on the Sandusky editors
assertion that Hayes saved only $50, 900
out Of the 5000, 900 fraudulently drawn
by him FROM the United States Treasury.
Every year Congress appropriates &c.,
600 for the contingent expenses of the
White House. This appropriation, the
correspondent asserts, more than paid all
the bills for Hayes state dinners, diplo-
matte receptions, and so on, enough be-
ing left over to pay the wages of the
s~ervants and run the stables. Moreover,
the frugal Hayes abolished the practice
in use under former administrations of
making presents to the police officers de-
tailed for duty at White House recep-
tions not one Of them ever saw the
color Of his money. Indeed, Hayes told
several of his friends that he expected to
save half his salary. The Gazette's COR
respondent positively asserts that he laid
by at least 500. 900, if not a great deal
more, and that his bank account will
show it.

A pretty servant girl in a Rochester
boarding house won the ardent love of two
boarders. Both desired to marry her. She
was puzzled to choose between them. and
further complicated the affair by accepting
first one and then the other. The rivals
at length agreed to meet her in a room
together and get her final decision. When
the momentous occasion came, one tried to
influence her by drawing a knife and de-
claring that he would not survive a re-
fusal. The other, not to be outdone,
placed a revolver at his head and
swore that he would blow his
brains out in case of disappoint-
ment. She took the dagger man, however.
and the pistol man allowed himself to be
disarmed, though he VOWS he will die on
her wedding day.
