How to Compliment a Mean Man

A new way to compliment a mean
man is to say: He is pretty mean in
some respects, but then, after all, he
is meaner in other respects" That
sort of lets the mean man down easy,
and makes him think he is not so con-
founded, alfred mean after all"

THE SEVENTEENTH AMEND


Ii Senator Pendletons aspirations are
crowned with realization he will live
in history as the author of the seven
teenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States. The joint resolu-
tion introduced by him last week reads
. is follows
SECTION ]. PostTa-tsrs, marshals. district
attorneys, United stat, cler1a of courts, ia
ferlor TO tie supreme court, aod all such other
civil Officers Of the United States exercising
executive or ministerial power within the
several states or territories, aad in districts
e5Inpoaed in whole or in part Of anv state or
territory, as congress may designate, shall be
elected by the people OF the several districts
end electors N each district shall have the
qualifications of electors of the most numerous
branch ofthe legislature of the state or terri
tory IN which such district Is established
Sections two and three of the article
provide the methods for carrying out
the first section. 1t is hardly to be
doubted that the country at large would
be glad to see this article embodied il
the constitution. Both parties talk with
seeming sincerity OF their desire to
promote the cause Of evil service re-
Form. This measure is an advanced step
in that direction, for it strikes directly
at the root Of the vast system OF federal
patronage that has grown to d mensions
Justly warranting she depreca ion and
apprehension of al good men. 1t is de-
void Of political or rather partizan fea-
tures, for it is equally fair to both the
great parties 1t ought to command the
support Of congressmen of both parties
with even more unanimity than did the
anti-polygamy and anti-Chinese bills.
Indeed it ls difficult to conceive how
a representative or senator viii find
excuses to oppose the Pendleton amend
ment without calling in question the
capacity Of the people to choose the Of
fciaIs made elective by this meas
ure. The patronage of the general
government is too large for healthy
condition of the body polite. Men get
office not because they are capable or
deserving, but because of their political
services. Let congress pass this Joint
resolution and the people, through their
state legislatures, will ratify it promptly.
It Is fairly before the senate now, and
its importance and merits cannot be
denied. Let us see what viii be done
with ii.

Senator Zones Change of
Views.

The Washington correspondent of the
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Constitu-
tiOnalist says: have had some conver-
sationS with Senator Jones, of Nevada,
and infer from his undisguised language
that he not only Will adhere to what he
spoke in the senate, but, if anything,
make it stronger He openly proclaims
that the whole negro business is mel
ancholy blunder; that it approaches
crime; and he regrets that some of the
New England gentry did not debate the
question with him. Il believe" he
said, THAT what Gen. Wigfall declared
is true. The Yankees sold their slaves
to the south for the love of money and
stole them back again for the love of
God" He also Wantsi it understood that
he Is progressive man; and that, hav-
ing discovered the evil of negro suf-
frage, there is nothing to do but hon
estly confess the folly of the act and
seek such remedy rs the law allows
No man in Washington is more out
spoken on this subject than the republi-
can senator from Nevada and bosom
friend Of President Arthur. This extra
ordinary senator Is another proof of
what / ALLUDED to IN a recent letter.
Like Sena or Lamar, he is not often in
his seat and makes very few speeches.
But what he does Is the best of the kind
and gives him national fame; while sew
eral senators, who are eternally twad-
ding, clear the galleries as we'll as the
senate floor

CLASSIFICATION OF STATES.

CLAO9It IVA lION Or SlAlLS.
Many of the leading papers in the east
are considering with evident favor the
suggestion Of Mr.. Henry Gannett, the
geographer of the tenth census,for a new
classification Of the states of the union.
In many respects Mr.. Gannett's sug-
gestious viii commend themselves to
persons engaged in business pursuits as
well as teachers. The terms New En-
gland" Middle Southern" Yves
tern, etc, with the gradual multiplica-
tor of states, have ceased to possess
distinctive meanings, or make artificial
divisions not in accord with facts of eli
mate. race, distribution, crops, and other
matters Of practical import. Mr.. Gan
nett proposes to employ, for purposes Of
division, two north and south lines
and one running east and west. The
Appalachian chain of mountains marks
the first north and south line, and the
Cordilleras the cond. The states
along the eastern slope of the Appa-
lachian chain he would call, as at pres
ent. the Atlantic states, to be divided by
Mason and Dixon's line into north and
south Atlantic states. Ihe states of the
whole Mississippi valley are 10 be
termed central states, and divided by
the Ohio river and the southern border
Of Missouri and Kausa. into northern
central and southern central states.
The western states viii embrace all
those traversed 10y OF west of the Rocky
mountains These five classes, with the
exception of the last, are measurably
alike in extent and population.

Anna Dickinson's Hamlet.

Gath: went to see Anna Dickinson
play Hamlet on her opening night IN
New York. She had large house, and
looked well In mems trunks and hose
having no delicacy about her limbs, but
they were stout enough. Her dress was
a sort of dark purple. She looked pretty
old about the throat and cheeks, but her
pretty brow and fine pair of eyes were
much admired She was i'll at ease, and
looked, as she came on, like a person
soon to be shot. She put her hands on
the small OF her back and played nearly
the first act With them there, apparently
afraid to put them forward; and when
she did gesture she used both hands and
arms ike balance-pole TO walk a tight
roi with. Her voice was better than |
expected, and for some time its soft ca
dences and depth of tone were pleasing;
she soon lost the proper pitch, and
talked key or two above the people on
the stage, and consequently the play
ran more and more on her part into a
hollow declamatiOn-like & woman on
the top of the house trying to be con-
versatiOnal with people on the ground.
She had no dexterity with her hands,
her sword or her back; and the best her
friends could do was to applaud her for
not failing, while good many were in IA
litter, and others went out early in the
play The trouble with this woman is
the same as with Miss Mary Anderson.
She was not willing to work in the lower
places and deserve to come up, but
wanted to step from society to the top
of the dramatic profession over the
heads of the laborers. She wanted to
gather in the money without spending
the sweat and bending her neck to the
stubble.
