Thersident-ect and the party which alburn panie him tqVash- tal. In the hurry and bustle incident to such a trip, the porter of the car in which they were riding, had forgotten to put out the lamps and they burned at full head long after daylight.

But what a blessing it would be to him apd tothe country if he would carry into office with him the principle which is here mTmeed by the aeed lady, the result of ihe thrift and economy instilled with her earlier lessons. How many lamps are burning by authority of the gov ernment which are giving nq liglil;, and how much oil is wasted ! Aitf example is furnished elswhere in this paper, wherein it is shown that two hundred auahtyuf storekeepers and fftf are iem ployed in-this rict to wafcti'over the collection dis- government's interest in the whiskey and tobacco that Jsj manufactured, to say nothing of deputy marshals, district deputies, deputy collector cn scarcely any one of'"wmim-cftainly- nbt'lesa than tlie caajrity-tf whom peeeivender four4 doliarsft day-f or their work.

But no business man will pretend to deny that the pay of the employes of the government is out of all sort of pro portion to salaries received in any busi ness where intelligence, faithfulness and integrity are the requirements. Anv Hati who can "read, write and1 cipher," can nil the position of store keeper and gauger ; he is not employed a fotjrtliiif jhisima, has little responsi biUty, aa$ giy asmall bopd- And yet he receives as much as the most skilled . accountants, thet most experi enced aaies'mefior those -filling po- tionaogreatestsponsipilities 5a the leading commercial marts dttlie? State. Here is where the oil can be kept from wasting. -President Garfield has de clared himself in favor of economy and or improved civil service, llere is where he can begin to put out the lights which are burning to no purpose, and are wasting the people's substance. Congress will uadpobf second' any ef- forta in this direction, if made with the earnestness ana eloquence whicn is charactensticf the man ; a' Democratic Congress would have certainly done so Let him make it the subject of a spe cial message, and let it be headed, "The Wasted Oil of the Nation." fit may be interesting t(y .persons of a curious turn of mind to know why the 4th of March has been selected as the day on which .td inaugurate atfr Presidents. March being a particular ly blustery, disagreeable mouth, uncer tain in behavior and rather addicted to lMle outbursts of temper on 'special occasions. Indeed it has been noted that few inaugurations have been at tended by good weatheJ.Sorne mihf suppose this month was chosen by our warlike fathers as most congenial to their tempers,-rude enc, UttJe iven to repose. This theory, however, finds no ' support in fact; in truth, the selection of that-day was decided by .accidental (urcuibstarices. Mr. Lee fntrodnced a resolution in Congress, in 1787, that "whereas, longer delay in executing , arrangementf necessary - 409 into! operation Cie Cear government may,1 producenWo&ar 4tfjtiryv resorvedthatfl the 1st Wednesday of January follow ing be the time for -appointing- electors in the different Satea, the lat Wednes day of PebraaiyMwlftgJlidiiJf'i which electors assemble to" vote for a President, and that the first Wednesday of March following, the day uppn which the President be inaugurat ed." This resolution being adopted, anthnlrsttnaiigufation falling upon the 4til, tnis day has ever since remain-" ed a grand fete day with the American people. The time for appointing elec tors has been changed, as also the day on which the electors assemble to rote for President, but for some reason this has been allowed to remain as it was possibly the chief bection to a chaoga-bflin tha74Vlwoul4 give one President? iiavinWge' pvle (Jttiers - b length en keg .bis -term or pat him ak disadvantage pycartallment.

When the extent of this service is known, the size and character of this machine is comprehended, it is not difficult to see what power is placed in the collector's hand', or rather, perhaps, it should be said that this power and influence can not be estimated.

These things will serve to explain in -a measure at least some things which were inexplicable to many people short ly after the November election. The only element of the party not conciliated by the cabinet appointments was the colored element, the only re ward they have received being an elab orate personal mention in the inaugu ral address." ; Seaator Bruce and Fred Douglas are left to contemplate a cabinet position from a far off fur years, it may be, and it may be forever. A Blaine Adminiatration. 1L P. Handy in. Philadelphia Press. JXhe one thing satUetL.in my humble Opinionis that we are going to have a Blaine administration; The Blaine in fluence was conspicuously illustrated m the matter' of the' call for an extra session of the Senate. The idea of stav ing off that session in order to make sure of - a Republican organization at the'very start, was put'into the head of Hayes by Inends ot benator Mahone Hyesjpntertained it so far as to agree ro ieaye.the matter to liarheld, and on the latter's arrival in Washington it was tanen up at once. Uiaine was call ed into consultation, and to him Ma henete representatives, Brady and Pop- nam, Doxn Virginia Kepublicans, ex plained their chiefs inten tions. Blaine heard them through, and then deliber ately and positively, not only declared himself opposed to a fcostponement of the call tor an executive session of the Senate, but pronounced judgment against any. coalition between the Ber publicans ana tne lieadi asters lor the capture of the "offices and committees of the Senate, or for any other purpose related to national politics. The result wastnas liarneia asked naves to call the executive session fcr the 4th of March. frUm Great Eaatni as a Heat Snip. : A London paper of a recent date says: "The Ureat Eastern has been chartered for.ten years to carry meat ta; the United Kingdom fronts the inericarfBeanoardorthe "Piret Plata. ins caicmatea that from Texas or the Argentine provinces "beef of prime quality can he laid down in England at 3d Der nonnd.

Philadelphia Times. Gen. Garfield favored the spectators of his inaugural with one bit of un studied ceremonial that will be apt to win him feminine hearts. On finishing bis address to the throng on the capitol steps, Conkling was, as usual, conspicu ous, and was noted making sarcastic comments, according to one veracious scribe, in the ear of Judge Davis while the new I'resident was speaking, while on the other hand Senator Bayard stood reflectively nodding his head in assent whenever he agreed with the Presi dent's utterances. When the address was finished and the oath had been ad ministered Gen. Garfield, before accept ting the testimonials of his enthusiastic friends, walked over to his mother and in presence of the multitude kissed the enraptured old face.
