DEPARTMENT CLERKS.
They Complain at HALF the Work of
Shop Clerks.
From tho United states Mail.

From tho United states Mail.
For some time past the hours of service
OF clerks in the offices OF the First Assist
ant Postmaster General have been from
in the morning until $3.50 in the afternoon,
or ninety minutes longer than usual. This
has been gong on since about April 1,
and now the employees have petltioned
Mr.. Villas to restore their old hours OF
service.
We trust that the Postmaster General
will do no such thing. II those clerks are
dissatisfied with the hours Of work de-
manded of them they have remedy at
hand; they can resign and return to their
homes, where they came from.
The hours OF service in all the depart
ments at Washington are too limited,
while the compensation is too great for
the labor performed. There should be a
general reorganization of the entire bust
ness of the government from the top to the
bottom, and every man and woman on
the rolls should be compelled to earn what
they receive, or else be gwen the grand
bounce.
Some of the clerks in the Post Office De-
partment perform good, honest, square
labor, but there are many Of them who are
only ut for polishing chairs. The lady
clerks should be placed in rooms to them
selves, and the frequent chats and deli
cate little chin-chins, now so universally
INDUCED in where the men and women
are together, should be broken up. There
is altogether too much Of the convivial
among the clerks. too much winking and
blinking, laying back In chairs, hanging
on their elbows, gazing out into the halls
at passers-by, too much admiration for
each other, and altogether too much deco
lette in the style of dresses worn. All this
hinders work. 1t bothers the women and
eX0ites the men, and the result is that
Uncle Samuel gets left.
Oh, no. Mr. las, keep that order IN
force, and add another just like 1t, di-
recting that every clerk in the entire de-
partment be compelled 10 serve from 3
a. m. until y m, and from p. m. until
$3.50 p. m.
We We're in Washington recently and
stood opposite the Post OF 90 Department
nj quitting time, and saw the clerks COM
ing out in drOves. While CLERKS in out
side offices We're still hard al work az their
desks, and remained so until 3 and &
O'Clock, the ladies aud gentlemen ia the

to their homes at 4.

ened TO what they ought % be, one
third the force now employed could be
discharged.

Here is the portrait of Grant. The
picture was made during bis first term,
as stated above. He did not wear his
beard in this style for any considerable
time. He did not find it so satisfactory
either to himself or to his friends and
family as the full beard of his war DAYS.
The portrait will be, however, greatly
priced. tor IL really represents a better
index to his character than did his full
beard.
the call for Grants Cabinet officers TO
attend the funeral brings to the surface
some rather interesting facts about them.
1t Is IA curious fact that only one out Of
the twenty-five men who were in the
Cabinet during Grants terms is now pro-
minent in public life. This one is Don
Cameron. who was Secretary of War
after Belknap. Cameron did not cut
much of figure as Secretary Of War. In
fact, he does not make much of an
impression upon the AVERAGE oh.

he and the boy again went TO the races.
The veteran bought two pool tickets, and,
as usual, lost his money. On the third
