Vou wouli - BiippoHe from I what you soinetitnej read and hear that. 11 was reany an unwortuy ooject ot a man's ambition. To some ears the term "office seeker is a reproac'. There s a good deal of' talkjabont the jffie N ekmc the man ami not the man the office. " Perhaps one office in ten thousand is tilled in that way, lut I, don't, imagine that, the proportion is any greater. The meaning iuteiided to be conveyed would imply -that the President made the selectiotr without any suggestion from; others, and - this would require a yeryixtensiye per soual acquaintance on the part of the Executive. I It is necessary, when an office is to tilled be'thatthe Presideut sliould be iuformetl as to the -.persons 1 who would like the place, as well"ss their fitqess to discharge t Inutilities,' and then he can make an, inielligent selection. Wit 1 the ' posxilile exception of what, are- knowu ' as persnal ap Njititmeuts, iioapoititiiients are made unless an application is pre ifeiited in oue term or .another by tue person appointed. It is a very common thing to hear men say at' ter they have received 'an appoint inentthat it wa a perfect surprise to them, and that they knew noth ing about it. until the appointment was made, Thatjs 'nil bosh, you, know. It sounds well, but there is not a word wf truth in it. j If the President should say that he never 4 t heard of these . geudemeii until ineir names were preseniei co uun as candidates that would, uudoubt edly I)e4i perfectly thruthful state 1116111." - j ' I 'Of course;" con tin ued the gen tlemaii as he. became iuterestetl'in tuersubject, "all tills is explained by the different; methods employed by men when Ithe; become, office seYkers. It is rather a curious study to notice the diversity of means to obtain a common tend. Some meu j.o after an office in the style which is commonly known as 'hunting -with a brass band.' They et up petit-tons, they organize lel egatious, they obtain persinial no'' tices in the newspapers, ainPthey seizure endorsements from political organizations ! They make mighty fuss and flutter in the com munity Others don't make as .much noise, but pursue the same methods in a more or less modified form. Still they areojninly known as candidates for the place and are not backward in presenting their claims to friends an I acquaintances. There are other men whose' names are never heard in connection -with the office, ami; however - long the list of applicants in the newspapers may be their names are not found among them. .Their ''method is ny the underground sytem of wires, and by patient burrowing' around they finally discover a concealed way to the White Itouse leading directly to the President's ear. While 1 be delegation are marching in and out of the front' door of the White House M8e unknown office seekers aroinauipuIatiiigjheir lit tie wires and really getting near to the President's attention than the front door visitors. When the ap pointment isjinade i.nd !the pro prietor of one of these underground telegraph- lilies is the fortunate man; no one jU more surprised than himself at thii unexpected action of he President." i . lu our s3-stem of politics," re sumetl the, speaker, who had evi dently struck; :tdiohby, 'it is per fect I v-" proper, and indeed- it is a right of every citizen, if lie wants an office,, to announce his name to the President, and then to adopt the oroper measures' to; show..-to the 'President who lie is- and how he is regarded by his Irieiids and neighbors. In the case of men w here a k nowledge f this sort would be rather detrimental Ui.theiriu t-rests than .'otherwise, the Presi dent is iuformetl simply who tb si e his aipbintiheut,or,iii other words, what is his j backing. The latter cousideratiou is frequently the all powerful one in jMilttics j when the selfish system of give ahd take is in full operation. l The' amusing feature. in the scramble for office, however, is jaeen in the cases where men imagine ibafc they are entitled to au ofhVe, ami they hapeu tu lw the only tnfes holding that opinion They then1 go to woik as they would in the pursuit of any thing else they desire, and the varum exledieuts ! resorted to are as di verse as the people themselves.

Tlie reuorter who takes a pride in the beauty of nis enuiansuip is usually extreme ly sensitive wwb regartl to "bulls," and he frequently suffers the hu iniliation of a ierverted sentence iu his compositions. The compos itors and proof reader seem to con spire to render his work ridiculous. It f s a melancholy fact that an au thor who writes most plainly suffers more at the hands of the compositor and "intelligent proof reader" than a careless writer. The reason tor this is that with . plain manuscript uo care is necessary to rt ad it, and those who handle it are apt to become careless, while with Choctaw"or "Greek,"' as bad manuscript is called in the coin posing room, much time, is spent in deciphering it, and it. nearly al ways comes out all right. , "' A few secimeus of what can be doue in the way of twisting and tuniiug seutences, and of the. mis conception of what the author really wrote, would perhaps prove interesting.

A Massa chusetts aier recently contained this item : "The historic South church at Worcester celebrate! its one hundred and sixty ninth anni versary last night 'with a supper. followed by remarks by the pres ent and past pastors. .It was fortunate to have some ot the past pastors present, but to assume that the gentleman who preached there 169 tears ago took supper with them is too ghostly for belief. A Chicago itewspatier not long ago informed its readers that the mill isters of that city spent the hour of the usual meeting in listening to "mortality r reports from the churches." Of course "monthly" rejioris was intended. religious newspaper has this grievance ( against a secular con temMrary : "One of the daily patters mentioned the other tlay that at the Monday meeting of B it.rraed Pastors a pa er was read entitled Ecce Jesus.'
