EDITOR PLAINDE ALER In th PLAINDEALER some time since appea ed a very plausible article entitle "Genteel Work," which an indulgent' and forbearing public will doubtless al­ low ate Tadpole to criticise in his usual harmless way. That solitary gentle­ man availing himself of a fit of mel­ ancholy. seeks doubtful inspiration in the dejrrlcu spectacle of forlorn cob webs, an empty flour sack, and a BUS pended buck saw redeemed, howeyer, with a pair of spectacles and the famil­ iar outlines of an old sock, thimble and darning needle, excellent things to fall back apon in moments of despondency, When sepulchral silence shrouds the elf, and graveyards and pattering rain and gnawing rats and dismal coffiu« haunt you all around. The writer, how­ ever, hopes to kill all these spiders with a pane of blue glass in his win­ dow, and another in the roof of his Mtove-pipe hat, the whole perhaps sup­ plemented with a pair of blue goggles, but above all the brooch miniature of a substantial dark girl dressed in blue constantly pressed to his stomach as a violent kill or cure remedy. With this dawning prospect of a rising sun, our soul already grasps at genteel work, though it may fall a trifle short of per­ spiration. which however may yet be reached provided the fire wood holds out, or a good hot ruin punch accom­ plishes this worthy feat. Whilst recognizing the fore-men­ tioned article as orthodox gospel, let us go into the hard facts, penetrate to the hard pan and back bone of the gen­ teel work theory, which at once lands us into the cause and effect; business.-- We all know the effect well enough, but what is the cause? Copy books tell us a geed deal about virtue its own re­ ward, honesty the best policy, busy beee, shining hours and early worms, but practically what of it ? Congress­ men towering like mountains beyond their copy books, keep a gabbing just the same. Certainly they have not thank God, forgotten all of their mor­ al teachings and maxims. They are still the early birds. But who is the eirly worm f Why, poor old Uncle Sam, of course. He's the wormiest man as ever was, and the way tilings are goiig on, there won't be much of him left af'tera wly mrr~WT labor i* a di*irr;u;e." true, h u t "that clean hands that will not engage in genuine labor are covered with a stain that water will nof wash out" true but the*1 * * * * "that better be a day laborer than a titled loafer" true, but the werld don't see it In that light, and what are you going to do about itP Let the great Boss himself answer that grave question. What is the cause of this state of things? Well now, we'd just as leave hire an able- bodied man, a Greco--Roman wrestler or something of that sort to answer that question for us. for we will surely get raw-hided some day with a pair ef rose kid gloves,may be lavender, "allee same" equally effective no doubt either way. But in the name of the beguil­ ing Eve of her lovliness, of her seduc­ tive wiles and blandishments and temp­ ting lips or was it her voice--we make bold, or rather venture to say. that is. we presume to think, that the girls are at the bottom of it all. Of course the stage of life commences with the young man and finishes oft with the old man. Well then, young gentleman, young lady, genteel work, it's all one. A young woman; now, what is a young woman? Guess we know though.-- Paddy McCarty's girl. Hank's girl, the shoemakers girl and Jalje Sbinplastem girl. That is the young woman, the spinner, the weaver, the cooken, the wringer and rattler. But now we come to the young lady, and what's that ? Why, the name is already suggestive •f frizzly hair,satinette. lace, braceleis cemfort, elegance, music, who knows what endless mystery is hidden behind that name but that*s the party we're after, and who is responsible for the tone of society. A voice seems to whisper,"don't crucify her, she's too nice, you know" but that fear is ground­ less, for she hath friends and is abund­ antly able te take care of herself.-- Taking it for granted that she dresses irreproachably, that her figure is prun­ ed anu modeled into symmetric propor­ tions, that she wears an Elizabethan frill around her neck, adorns her wrist with lace, wears a Parisian buckle on her shoe, a locket of native gold upon her breast, a rosy cheek, a cherry lip, and auburn hair and may be plays upon an Eoiian harp, to say nothing that her daddy may have lots ot stamps, the question next arises, is she going to be admired, sought after, and if so by whom? If daddy has a voioe in it, is he going to quit-claim her an a daily son of toil as he once was himself? More likely he's going to hunt her up a clean coat and forthwith bethinks him­ self of young Augustus Donothing Spondulix, a young man of doubtful merits, but whose papa packs consider- ile pork, and thereby imparts virtues his son. 7 "~T 5 Harry Dryertis^ however, fs a food, sspectable hard working youth and in te name of those iutrinsic qualities leks to interest papa In his favor, but le worldly parent whilst praising lose habits of industry, avails himself M the present occassion to inform afore- litd young man that swamp oak wont IfTaft good, on geraniums and pansies, especially the "look-up-and-kiss- me" varieties, and that he is going in for ft® proved stock right along. Or if the Whole thing is abandoned to the darn­ el's own personal discretion, is she go- lifc to favor hard warts and cordury, or wl i* be stick up collars, arilt-edge and r^orm ? Reason my subject this, max- •fs that and the proverbs of Solomon s^nething else, but she i£ straightway g#ing to dream of coat-tails, imperials, and curly head-gears parted in the middle. The dignity of labor, the virtues of perspiration, the moral triumphs of sweating toil, the achievements of the woodman's ax, even the brawny chop­ per himself, will signify as nothing to her in presence of a sMck transparant tropical baud-boxy looking swell, with mellow love streaming through both hl#eye8like two rain-bows dropping frtin heaven. Now then, how shall we connect this phenomena with hard work, chapped hands, blotched faces. tUijn ing noses, bleak winds and pimpled eyes? No connective at all! The one is 'a tropical plant,* a sort of night, blooming cereus; the other, a mountain pltte. The one a representative of genteel work; the other,of rugged in­ dustry. Unconsciously perhaps, it is th# dainty, mincing, beaming, smiling unprotected youug Misses who in the first place regulate the theory of gen­ tility. It is they who confer or with­ hold the blue ribbons ef appreciation in the ball-room, sociable, or on the street; who designate the nice young man with the authority of a patting glance, and elevate htm to the pinua- cle of his youthsul glory--a ladies' man. Young men know all this, and are gen­ erally ambitious to deserve these to­ kens ; more than that, they know the conditions, and as a consequence we lia¥Q|genteel work. Anything there- that will keep ofF the rain, chap- Jl^lM from your t'e and wrist band, vulgar pains from the of your back, that will enable you to wear light pants and finger rings, and that will not tarnish the gloss ei your hair, or disturb the tapering tails Of your moustache, is genteel work, and If very renumeratlye, becomes pos­ itively distinguished in the eyes of ne­ gotiating mammas, and sweet-eyed daughters, aud doubtless ensures many an iuvitation to tea. At this incipient stage of hisatnbitiouscareer, the young man soon emerges trom the Co th mere, ial College like gold from a crusible. Already his thoughts are knocking at the doors ot the treasury, war office, and interior departments, when sud­ denly his feet alight on the very thresh­ old of genteel fame. The "open se­ same" of success dawns upon him, the mystic words "Dry Goods" trace them­ selves distinctly upon the world, and flood his soul with happiness Like a wizard armed with his magic wand, he is now tossing rolls of velvet cloth with an easy dashing grace that wrings out tearsof admiration from ravishing dam­ sels prepared to pay any price for this melting spectacle of flesh and cloth* and whose eyes seem to cry "encore" for a repetition of this lovely feat, as they linger on the phantom scene. How can a horny-handed youth com­ pete with such work as this, or venture to fold delicate waists with a pair of hands like stag's antlers, or squeeze her hand with rasping lingers like iron files. Even the more uupretending girls, now object to be pounced upon unawares, and when you knock at the parental door, there is a general rush for hair oil and pin-cushions, up the creaking staircase, whence they soon return like big suu-flowers bathed in smiles, waist­ band and ribbons. In fact we see no salvation for this state of things unless girls will consent to wear quaker bon­ nets aud calico shawls on Sundays, and sack-cloth and wooden shoes on week days, handle the pick-ax occasionally, train their muscles on cord wood, and other calisthenics of a similar character* tending to infuse more tone in our man­ ual industries. In sober truth, the world is ambitious, and that is the hard fact we have te deal with. The moment a young man can construct a capital letter wltn a tolerable flourish his friends instantly wender why he ain't a book-keeper. Philosophers quote a good deal about the dignity of labor, of hard manual work, and are always careful to inter­ pret that their own brain work is of the hardest and soul wearing kind.-- Just so! Everybody wants to live en his wits. When a man once rises, how­ ever hard and rugged may be tiie as­ sent, he wants to keep at it, always careful though to entourage those at the betters of th« Udder, with words of contentment. Abraham Lincoln splitting rails was probably or possibly a happier Abra­ ham than the Lincoln of the White House, but when he left his rails he doubtless hoped to leave them for ever­ more. The venerable Horace had it bad when he said "go west young man" where verily, many a young man has found his setting Sun amongst the washee-washee pig-tails, locusts and tomahawks. Himself however, he stuck persistently to the rising sun and died of worry and disappointment be­ cause he dld'nt get into the White House. L*eeent young men in crowded cities, anxious for employment, are told to strike out to the country, and they do strike out and they get hungry, and they are called tramps, and they get locked up, and that's what'* the matter. The fact of the matter is that there is no royal code ef instructions that is go- i"g to guide the millions to wealth, comfort and glory. The law of supply and demand regulatesjthe whole thing. Experience does the rest. TADPOLK. F WASHINGTON TORKKSRO-LILIAIL CTL ' 1i ftQrThere Is serious doubt of the constitutionality ot the law under which we have elected additional cir­ cuit judges. In the first place it is doubtful whether or not It was consti­ tutionally passed by the Illinois House of Representatives. Members of the House assure us it never received in its present shape, a vote by yeas and nays, as required by the constitution. Again, the fundamental law of the state says emphatically, that the term of office of Circuit Judge shall be six years; while the new law provides for a term of two years. These presumed defects furnish grouud for at least rea­ sonable doubt, and some means should be taken to have the Supreme Court rule upon the new law at the earliest practical moment, that the doubts may be authoritatively settled. It is easier to pass upon them now, and settle questions luvolved. by the refusal, say, of the Governor to commission the new judges until mandamused by the Su­ preme Court, than to wait for some fu­ ture occasion, and in the meantime jeopardize some large and Important luterefts.--Aurora Beacon* n ucwiwr, MTl, just aneV wife great fire, the General Assembly, in special session, passed an act to repay to the city of Chicago the money ad­ vanced to make the "deep cut" on the Illinois canal. This act was justified on the ground that the police, and fire, and pauper establishment of the city liadDeen destroyed by the fire, and it was provided that about $600,000 should be expended on thn city buildings. The money was paid from the State Treasury, the total amount being about $3,200,000, and this money has been used for ail sorts of purposes not contem­ plated by the original act, and not at all within the argument advanced in favor of the passage of that act. The thirtieth general assembly appointed Messrs. Haines, May bourn and Bonfield to inquire Into the disposition of this fund, and the committee has already begun Its session. Judging from the reports In the Chicago papers, though these are notoriously unreliable, It ap­ pears the committee is meeting a great deal of difficulty. There seems to be no means of ascertaining how the fund has been spent, and in some cases, at least, no distinct accounts of It have been kept.--Sycamorc Republican. )9*Th(re Is great hope fulness and encouragement in the fact that during the late disturbances there was but one voice from all the influential papers in the country, and that was for tha main­ tenance of law and order, and the sup­ pression, by force if needed, of all or­ ganized opposition to the peace of the community. There was sympathy for the workmen but none for their illegal and riotous demonstrations. Partisan feeling was hushed before the spectre of mob law and anarchy that lifted its terrific form, and for almost the first time in the history of the oountry, the press was united in sound, patriotic appeiJs to reason and law. It afforded a strong Illustration of the truth of the American idea that a free press is cne of the surest bulwarks of our free in­ stitutions. J^-A little six year old daughter of Mr. E. Hanchet, of Elgin, was the victim of a singular accident a few days ago. The Bluff City says that she "was playing with a little brothc r, and stooping down to pick up some­ thing near a flock of hens, a cock flew up on her shoulders and struck her twice in the eye with its spurs,. It Is thought that the sight of the injured eye Is entirely destroyed, the spur having cut the eyeball. It said this is the third or fourth time the cock has attacked members of the family, and twice before the same girl," \T-A!»FTT*GTOX. D. C.. Ang., sbfh, W77.

The latest reform in the Treasury pertains to the Bureau of Engraving and Priuting, and consists of two im­ portant orders; one respecting appoint­ ments. and the other establishing grades The grading does not apply to the higher grades of the force, femt to the employe#* Exclusively. The ^H grades consist of unskilled employes - $ who are to be paid nniform rates and' assigned to duty as box-tenders, tissue- hands, pressing-hands, substitutes, at­ tendants, and otlier work requiring no special efficiency; skilled employes such as counters, examiners, numberere, perforators, aud so on; and experts who )>y reason of ability application andex- > perience have become possessed of especial skill in in their respective di­ visions or knowledge of' the general work of the Bureau. Promotion to ih« grade ef experts is to be opea to the " - entire female force, aud no personal application is to be considered, but committees will examine written ap» plications with a view solely to thflr dilligence, attention to duty and per* sonai conduct of the applicant. The pay of the unskilled is to be fixed at one dollar a day when employed and that of the experts at two dollars & day when employed. These orders are en­ tirely prospective in operation,1bufe if faithfully carried oat, will be a ram improvement regime. Their chief ad* s ; vantages are that they introduce pre- #; cision in the classification and compon- sS Cimiform ducement of promotion and increase of pay to the ambitious and industrious.
