Thy attainment while on the stage of
time lin the natural body of suitable
proportion of divine life. for otherwise
we know little more than the life of ma

coming inferior TO beasts that perish in
declining the offer of divine life made to
every rational being.
But / have long had better hopes of
thee, and have thought particularly in
our little quiet meeting of Yesterday
that thou hadst been faithful in heart
in few things. and wish thou mayest
become ruler over mere. and enter into
the Joy of cur Lord and into His seat.
And It occurs. in order thereto, that we
should become Christians; for he WHO
hath not the spirit of Christ is none of
His, and knowledge is strongly insisted,

had particularly seen and were eye-wit-
nesses of His majesty particularly on
the mount, and of others who had not

to perfect them, and was to be taken
away, that they mighs be more effectu.

unto all truth-whOse power alone is

system improves. The weather OF the
last two days and that Of to day,
although unpleasant to persons out OF
doors, has been as topic TO the system
and spirits of General Grant. He has
now so far improved physically that
his mind is becoming engaged with the
blocking out of work upon his book.
This occupies his faculties and the
result is good. When the Genera:
aroused this morning he felt better and
stronger than on Sunday, which was OF
that lime tae best day SINCE the I'M
provement begai. Or. Douglas remark

speech than has been the case since the

Mas 4 ed ON Rollers.

1t Is estimated That nearly two thou.
sand persons visited the Wilmington
rink last evening, TO witness. tho first
and last masked carnival ut this rink
this season. Every available piacc was
taken up with spectators. The maslars
began TO arrive shortly aftef 8 o'clock,
and by O'Clock over one hundred mas
gueraders were gliding over tho floor.
Nearly every nation and char acter were
represented, including such as the un-
tanned Indian, Chinese, and grotesuue
clown, Spaniards, flower girls, peasant
girls, negroes, Quakeresses, Frenchmen,
dudes, Oscar Wilde, Brigand, Drome-
oes, Scotch laddie ard lassie, Uncle Sam,
Spanish Cavelier, school boy, and last
but not least, his Satanic Majesty, who
surely must have overlooked his much

A gentleman dressed in q full blue suit
with Continental hat 6xings being
decorated with several gold medals on
his breast, was awarded the popular
sentiment. where thesrepresentative OF
the REPUBLICAN, stood, as being the
handsomest costumed gentleman on the
floor, as well as very graceful skater.
We learned afterwards that he was
from New York.
The grand carnival ended shortly
after 10 O'Clock by a grand march,
when the merry maskers removed their
second masks from their faces. The
affair was certainly a success. and q

Rotation In Office.

Our Sylmar correspondent in speak
ing of the P. NJ. at Barker says ''the
patrons of the office would not wish
his removal" But unfortunately the
patrons" are not consulted and nei-
ther is efficiency, or civil service. about
which so much is said, made factor,
but the multitude of changes is made
for the benefit of professional politicians
who in this way pay obligations due
their henchmen out of the public treas
ury, in place of out of their own pock-
cts. This is abont all there is to az count
for the multitude of changes in federal
offices. The changes of office holders
are conducted on very bad principles,
but the system with all it's faults is bet
ter than what is called life tenure or
during good behavior. This would
create special class which is foreign
to the genius of our institutions. But
if appointment to office was made more
in accordance with popular election
much healthier state of political NOR
ais would prevail. If the official term
was fixed for a certain number of years
and the present incumbent made incl
igible for re-appointment on the plan
of our sheriffalty, a healthy rotation in
office would be established, divest of
pretty much all the scrambling that
corrupts and disgraces our federal Of
flee system.
