Don't Wear Tight Shoes.

WARSAW, N. Y, November TO-
/, PROBABLY one of the greatest Of sufferers,
s and from q peculiar cause, is Adam
{ ,Pfaff. q we'll known resident of this
stown. Three years ago he was drawn as
siuryman, and wore to court, at Bath,
81 new pair of boots for the first time.
slThey we're too small for him. and
although they gave him intense pain he
Z kspk them on alliof one day. When he
!: removed his boots at night he, found no
relief from his pain, aud was unable to
! sleep. During the night his feet, legs,
hands, arms and body began to swell,
end his snf1srings became 80 great that
:he was obliged to summon aid, and was
removed ,to his home as soon as possible.
From that day to this the pain has never
leftihim for an instant. His joints are
enlarged greatly, while his toes, feet aud
hands are swollen to three times their
natural size. The flesh on some portions
ot his body is shrunken and withered.
He is entirely helpless, and cannot leave
his chair without help, and has TO be
Z fed like q child. Mr.. Pfaff's sufferiDgs
are at times terrible to witness, and be
prays for death. He has spent hundreds
ot dollarsin vain efforts to gain relief,
aud no physician he has ever called has
been able to understand his case.

Proved it on Him.

This story, or something like it, was
told by Gen. Shields when he last visited
Boston. While in Kentucky, he was
approached by portly, substantial
looking man, who said:
.I wish to give you piece of5advice.
Never deny anything. Some time ago, l
ran for Office in this section ofthe coun-
try, and resolved to. Keep quiet, whatever
was said about me before the election,
which was TO take place in about 8
month. The first week, they accused me
of being o horsethief, butt paid no at
tention to it. The second week, they
asserted that Iyhad been the treasurer Of
trust company, and ran away with the
funds, and 7 received this in silence.
The third week they eaid had induced
my right hand neighbor to make over
his property to me, temporarily, and then
refused to give it up, and still / made no
defense The fourth week, they came
forward with statement thatlI had
stolen the chickens of my left hand
neighbor, a worthy old lady, and sent her
to AN insane asylum. This made me
indignant, I denied it in public, and I'll
be daracd if they didn't go to work, and
prove it on me-" s
There is moral contained in this
story, which some of our political candi.
dates might lay to heart.-Boston C0u.

The Army Of nce.Holders.

There is naturally great commotion
at Washington among the people who
have held comfortable places all the way
back to 1860. These places afford good
pay with 40 corresponding drain on
either the mental or physical strength Of
the employee. All told there are 10000
persons drawing pay from the common
treasury. About 5000 of this number
are postmasters, 1000 more are in the
railway mail service, and another 1000
in the internal.revenue service outside
of Washington. The federal courts, the
customs and consular service give en-
ployment to about 10000 more, and the
remainder are employed in the Indian
service, in OF about Congress, and in the
departments. But large proportion OF
the whole number are classed as "labor-
ers," and are not, therefore, otfice:hold-
ers in the common acceptation OF the
term.
The ciyil.service laws cover only $4,000
places, as follows: 1852 department
employees receiving salaries from $500 to
81 800 year; $500 postal employees
receiving from $500 to 81 300 year, and
2,573 customs employees receiving from
5000 to 81, 800 year. These $4,000
places can be filled by competitive e1-
animation only, and as these places en-
brace nearly all the easy places in the
public Offices at Washington it follows
that there will be comparatively few
changes at the capital with the incoming
Of the new administration. The higher
officials, heads of bureaus, or divisions,
confidential clerks and officers, messen-
gers and laborers can be removed and
their places filled with friends of the ad.
ministration; but the great army OF
clerks in the chief Office of the govern
ment are protected by the civil service
act.
In other words, $4,000 Office holders
can not be removed at the will of the
head of the government, but $4,000 are
subject to removal, including Of course
the postmasters, who number about 5O,-
0OO-leaying i46, 900 miscellaneous places
to be filled. Probably 10000 of the
last. named number are "laborers." The
government patronage is rapidly assum-
Ing enormous proportions. 1t is now FIVE
times larger than the regular army, and
is each year becoming larger, while the
military and naval establishments are
with difficulty kept full. There is never
any lack of applicants for places in the
civil service. Constitution.

eff We needed any excuse for an ad-
ditional word on our side it might be
found and furnished in the extraordinary
spectacle presented at. this moment
before the American people, where the
candidate of the Democratic party, in
wild despair at the result of the State
elections, is travelling through the coun.

miles an hour, with disheveled hair and
wild companions, and backed up with
$4,000 worth of Buchu laughter and
cheersl, engaged in the hopeless task OF

desperate end of ofreviving the impaired

reply that the Goyernorship OF New

ALBANY, November .9.-Here it is re-
.parded as settled that Governor Cleve.
laid is the next President, aud already
the gossips are busy with conjectures as.
to who will be, the lady Of the. White
House. There is. q we'll defined belief
airaiong his friends that there isas asyoung
lady in Western New York who will
soon bstled to the altar by the President
elect, Others who have known him,
long and well ssay that he will never
marry and that this talk simply comes of
the fact that he has shown this young
woman some slight attentions since he
was elected. Governor. Early in life his
hopes and, ambitions for; 8; wife were
scrnshed BY the hand Of death, and his
affection for theslost one has kept him
;treading the wine. press of life alone. If
thefreports that he is to marry are not
tr1es then his own immediate family will
furnish the lady to do the social honors
Of his administration. .+5
It's GENERALLY believed by those who
know him best that there will be less:
festivities during his term of Office than
have been for many years past. He has
been hard working Governor and will
probably, continue bis industrious habits
as President. Bachelor as he is, the
White House will, however, have most
creditable mistress. There are four
ladies in his immediate family, either Of
Whom can we'll do the honors of the
Ishousehold. His eldest sister in this
country, Mrs. w. 3. Hoyt of Fayette-
willie, would fill any position with credit.
She is q middle-aged lady, of pleasing
address, who has spent q good deal of
time at the Executive Mansion here since
her brother has been Governor. She has
made many friends here in the capital Of
the State and will doubtless do the same
hin Washington, where she will probably
20 the 4th; Of next March. Miss r. p.
Cleveland is the maiden sister. Shestill
resides in the little home cottage at
Holland Patent, just above Utica. A
good 3-public speaker, q quick conyersa.
| tionalist and generally plain woman OF
lintellectual force, she would do her share
in entertaining her brothers. guests at the
National Capitol. MI. Cleveland has a
sister who for twenty years has been a
missionary at Ceylon. She has two
|charming young lady daughters, Mary
and Carrie Hastings, whom the Governor
lshas been for years educating in this
lcountry. He has given them every ad-
vantage and they have improved them.
They will no doubt be part of this
uncle's family circle at Washington, as
they have been at times here.
