Iu the present day of steam and punctuality tlie lazy man, no mat ter how extraordinary his acquirements must always fall behind in the race of human life He says: "Genius nnexer- ted Is no more genius than a bushel of acorns Is a forest of oaks, There Uiay be epics in Mien 's brains, just as there are oakfttnreors, but the tree and the boolr must come oat before we can measure them. We very natural!* re call here that class of grumblers and wishers who spend their time in long ing.to be higher than-they are. while they should be employed in advancing themselves. These bitterly moralize upon tlie injustice or society. Do they want a change? Let them change-- who prevents them ? If you are as high as your faculties will permit you to rise In the scale of society, why should you complain of men? It Is God that arranged the law of precedence.-- Implead lilin, or be silent. If yon have capacity for higher station, take it-- what hinders you? How many men would love logo asleep and wake up Kothchiids or Astors! "How many men would fain to go to bed dunces and wake up Solomons? You reap w hat you have sown. Those who sow dunce seed, vtce seed, laziness seed, usually got a crop. They that sow wind reap a w hirlwind. A man of iner* capacity undeveloped, is only an oi* gunized day dream with a skin on it.-- A (lint and a genius that will not strike tire are uo better than wet jur.kwood.-- We have, scripture for it that a "living dog is butter than a dead lion." If you would go up, go. If you would be seen.shine. "At the present day. eminent^ posi tion in any profession is the result of hard, unwearied labor. Men can no longer fly atone dash into eminent position; they have get to hammer it out by steady and rugged blows. The world is no longer cl:iy, but rather iron iu the hands of Its workers." The well known Washington correspondent, Don Pedro, Is authority for the following statement, all of which look very sniciou?: ^The report that General Sherman will shortly bo placed on the retired lis; is lfite."notwithstanding the auth orized statement from the war depart ment to the contrary. The announced intentions of the president lirve noth ing to do with it. The general does not. in the event that lie carries his ex pressed purpos3 into, effect, intend to ask to ge ret ired until next April, when President llayes will be merely Mr. Hayes, and when the present authorita tive vice of the war department will be that of a humble citizen. General Sherman has the right, having served in the army thirty years, to *?k to be retired, and it is understood that lie prefers life in St. Louis with his grand children and a retired officer's pay. t«» the mere honor of beieg a suborkinate to the next secretary of war in Wash ington, which he will be under the reg- ulations[of the army to be approved by the president in a few days. In the event of his retirement General Sheri dan will lie called to Washington and General Hancock assigned to command at Chicago, unless he prefers to remain where lie is. in which case General Schotleld would likely succeed General Sheridan.

The Atlanta CbngHtulion vouohea for the following as being a truo copy ot a report oir tile in the department at Washirgtot,!. The writer is identified by a Peoria (Ills) paper, and tlie do cument speaks for Itself. It was the lirst effort ot the Waterford Postmis- ,tr««s lo tjBJi^er a quarterly report. ^ WATERFORD fulton co Ills July the 9 1880 motor r. b. hays, presldeut of tho United States Dear Sur Bein requl^d by the Instrutionsof the post office to report quarterly, I now fulfill that pleasant« uty by reportin as follows.-- The harvest!)) has been goin oil perty well and most of the uabors has got their cuttin about done, wheat is hard ly an average crop, on rollin lauds corn is yellowish Jand wont go morn fifteen booshols to the acre and the health of the community is anly Toler- bly. mrsils aud kolera has broke out In about 2 and a half miles from hear,and iheir air a powerfel awakinon the sub- jeoof qsligun in the Potts naborhood and many soals are belli made to know their sinsTorgivin miss naney smith a near uabor had twins day before yes terday. This is about all that I know and have to report the present quarter give my respects to mrs Hayes and subsurib myself yoors Trooly. abigail ji'tikins, p. m. gQ^Sonator Marshall, of Kendall county, editor of the Yorkv.ille Jiecord, gives his opinion regarding the ncw amendment as follows: "The consti tutional amendment received.a major ity ot all tlie votes cast and. llwrefore, has been adopted by tlie people of the of the state. Tlnye is a difference of opinion as to the effect it will have on the office of the sheriff, Just filled, and the offices of county^cieik and treasur er. to be filled next faftwall of which belong to the list to be fUled iiy^^j-Mmep^rtiiigsalutation may The general opinion seems^oyrie that the sheriff-elect will be eligible to re election, and that the term of office of the clerk ami and- treasurer elected next year will bellniited to 'one ynar» when the incumbents can be re-elected if the people so choose." Qf course the same decision applies to the county judghMiip. The question regarding the expiration of the .present term of office is one requiring the attention of the state authorities and is a matter of opinion only. So far as the eligibility for the re-election of the present sheriff-elect is concerned it would seem that it be holds his Joffice only two years, the same as in the pist. he sure ly is entitled to same priveleges and governed bytlie same laws as his pre decessors. The ineligibility of the sheriff and the treasurer lor a re-elec tion as provided in the ftew amend ment applies only when those officers *re elected ror the long term of four years as stated In the ameuduiqjit.-- Ex. The Inter-Occim announces that Chicago capitalists will iiriuediately begin the erection of a largte and ele gant private hotel on the corner of Michigan avenue and 21st street, to cost half a million dollars. It will be a luxury in all Its belongings and run on the plan of some of the flneat »lm- lUr hotels iu eastern cities. 1OWBJ WASHISOTOJ COItlirJIPONIifcNT WASniWOTOH, D. C.. Dscsmber, ?, 1880. j EDITOR PLAIHDCAI.IR;-- Plymouth Rock gave birth to the Ameri can Idea of God, aa controlling the affairs of men antf nations. The Idea of Thanksgiving was voiced with booming eannon at Lexington In the Nation's infancy In Its first baptism o! blood, and it wasott and oft repeated in the second baptism amidst the bat tle of musketry, and the din of con flict. With such a history It is not strange that such a Nation by the most solemn edicts, trumpet tongued. of Its rulers State and national should stop the hum of spindles, and Its ten thousand industries and invite its mil lions of citizens tQ stund one day with bowed heads so near the Infinite as to catch an Inspiration that Should move all hearts to devout thankfulness. No Nation ever had greater cause for thanksgiving; for abundant harvests; for political deliverance; for health; for peace; for unbounded prosperity, and for ten thuosand such blessings which are enjoyed by no other people, which should make us profoundly grateful to the Giver of all good. In such a spirit was the day hallowed and kept at the National Capital. The subject of a new Presidentiak mansion to be located on the highlands north of the* cltj', will come before Congress at the present session. The old Executive Mansion was well enough adapted to the wants of the country In Its Infancy, but isaotatall suited to the necessities 9f *the nation in its manhood. There Is now no pos sible privacy for the family of the President and It is not always coin Tort- able to have Mrs. Betsy Jonos know all that.the Presidential party had for dinner. The old mansion will be used as an Executive office. Tlie Post Master-General hat made a wise recommendation for the building of-a new post office department, to an swer the demands of the constantly increasing business of the department. In 1850 Its total receipts were 95,499.- 954,8G; in I860, 98,618.065,40; In 1870, §19,772,210,65; and in 1880, 933,315,379.- 34. Our expending territories will swell the revenues to full 960,000,000, by 1890. The government is paying IIOW 9200,000 each year for the rent of build ings that are little better than tinder- boxes, yet the necessities oi the public service demand it. With the ability to borrow money at three per cent, it is a question how long this "penny wise aud pound foolish" practice will cohtlntie. " "•' M"v President Garfield made a flying visit to the city and was driveu In President Hayes' carriage to his modest homo on I street. At his special request, no public demonstra tion was made. Ho has tlie same genial manner as when lie was simply General Garfield mouths ago. His first stepping off the cars was "how are yen Bob"as he took lugersel by the hand. The boys of the ball and the bat here at the CapitalIiold the Geu- eralln hlgh esteem, as he has for sev eral years been a frequent visitor at the National Grounds, tukinga hand at batting occasionally to show the boys just how to do it. Representatives of commercial In terests are here to urge the passage by the present Congress of a' General Bunkrupt law. in acouutry with such vast and varied iuteiests it is evident that some judicious law should be en acted to protect creditors aud rejieve unfortunate bankrupts from liabilities that can never be paid. This measure has the approval of Senators Coukliug, Eduiu ids and Thurman.as well as the wisest men in commercial circles all over tho country. The Memphis District has been Re publican for years and the late politi cal avalanche has buried Hon. Casey Young, an enthusiastic Confederate brigadier, who has secured iu six years an expenditure in liis district of over $1,000,000. Resquiescat In pace. The be given to 90 other statesmen, mostly bourbon Democrats, who have been relegated to pr<vate life. Their places in the capital will know tiiem no more.-- Henceforth, pensively they sing, "Oh. to be nothing, nothing.*' The next House will be composed of 202 old members, 184 re-elected; 18 have been members in toruter sessions, and 91 are new members. A solemn silence has err pt over Bar- rium, llewett and Randall, since the developments in the Morey letter.-- They are evidently inouliing, and that class of birds sing very little at such times. There were lots of strange tunes in this trio prior U<> November. The sub-gutteral base of Buruuiu's mules has died away,even < iu lndiaua, and he and all his awkward squad of repeaters, will uever feed at Uncle Saui's crib, as they had fondly hoped to do. The painting begun by Brumitli in the dome of the Capitol, is going for ward under the skilled hand ot Fillip- po Costigini.
