SPECIALTIES. In these modern days everybody is on special duty. There are all sorts of professional tntn--one performs this service and another that. In the mer­ cantile world, one man buys the goods, another sells them, another takes charge of the books. Among mechan­ ics there is little general knowledge of any branch of business, but considera­ ble special. For example: there are no longer any printers, but in their place we have compositors, pressmen, those skilled in job printing, Ac., &c\, the persons understanding press work knowing nothing of type-setting and vice versa. And the same rule prevails gener- erally. Men become proficient in a particular branch of a given pursuit, but know little of the business as a\ whole. There are few complete me­ chanics. few tradesmen who are famil­ iar with all departmentsof theircalling few professional men who have not their particular fcrtes. Some physic^ iuus excel as surgeons and others as medical practitioners. Indeed, as things are progressing, it will not be long before we shall have a physician for all the different maladies with which humanity is assailed. With this condition of affairs no com. plaint is to be made. It is perhaps better that an individual should un­ derstand one subject thoroughly than a good many indifferently and imper­ fectly. The tendency of the times is to special education for special work.-- And as a rule it is well enough; we find no fault with it. But when it is pro­ posed to put it in operation in the run­ ning of our governmental affairs, we beg leave to protest against t.'ie scheme in the strongest manner and most em­ phatic language we know how to em­ ploy. The business of government cannot be surrendered by the uiauy into tho hands of a few individuals who have made the subject of politics a speciality without jeopardizing the existence of our highly prized institutions. Tho people must take care of their own af­ fairs or they will not be oared lor. Let the government fall into the hands of che politicians, or any other class of men, ami it will be run in their inter­ est beyond the shadow of a doubt. The majority of people are seltUh, and give them the opportunity to help themselves and they will improve it.-- versed la nollfles, #h¥ sire ltTitf caucus- a committee room or a conven­ tion, as it is to the re<-t of mankind.-- The people cannot delegate to others tho prerogatives they should exercise themselves without risk of parting with them altogether. Under our government, whleh is pe­ culiar in its character, it is all-import­ ant that every citizen bo welliuformed iu public affairs. Every act of Con­ gress, every act of the Legislature, of the Board of Supervisors aud of our city oouncil, affects him directly or re­ motely. The government is to some extent his. He is a partner in it; and if run to his detriment and injury, the fault is in a measure his; if, ou'the oth­ er hand, he desires benefit from tho ad­ ministration, he is elititied to the credit. These facts should be understood by all. Every man wants to understand that he is his own governor, his own ruler. The ruler and the ruled are one aud the same. There are no privileged classes among us except as we make them. Herein may seen the dan­ ger of allowing a particular set of men to post themselves in political affairs and run them, while the masses pur­ sue their-ordinary avocations. We give them an advantage over us that they should not possess. We place our interestfl in their keeping. In consent­ ing that certain persons who have made politics a study shall "run the machine" and have tiie offlcs to compensate them for their labors", we make a fearful mis­ take. We make shipwreck of our high­ est interests, we build upa privileged class without intending it. we are lendiug our sanction to an act wholly subversive of the very cssence of our government. The movement that has already been made in that direction^ which has built up selfish and ccrrupt rings in all our organizations, should be arrested where it is. Special qual­ ifications for special service may be unobjectionable in many of the depart­ ments of life, but special knowledge of the sort which enables those possessing it to carry caucuses and manage con­ ventions, and demands therefor the offices and the control of the party% will receive no encouragement from any patriotic citizen. .It is a kind of "specialty" that the liberty-loving men of this country want to stamp out of existence at the earliest moment. Secretary Sherman In 1868. From the present position of Secre­ tary Sherman no one would suppos^ that he ever farored the *Mntercharge- able bond." It would be interesting to learn by what arguments he was in­ duced to change his opinions, but he is oa record as advocating both the justico and the; policy of issuing "such a bond, whioh would advance the pros­ perity of the coutry as much as the pre­ sent lifie of policy is likely to retard it, Onth# 27th of February, 1868, Mr. Shernij&fl said in tho Senate of the Unite|tStates. "In 1863 we were compelled * • to take away the right of the holders ef the greenbacks to fond it. ^ ^ "* We HAY BAKES! HAY RAKES! The unrivaled Tiger Self Dumping Rake has no equal. A child can oper­ ate it. Also the celebrated Holling- worth, Furst & Bradley and other leading Rakes, at E. M. Owens. oughtjpromptly to restore this right to allcm the note (greenback) to be converted at any time into some kind of bortd to be converted into notes (greenbacks). Then there Is no dis­ crimination. * * The note-holder may go to the Treasury and demand his bmid, and the bond-hold may go ftlso alid demand his notes. * „ The process of funding these notes--they pouriog into the Treasury--will furn­ ish ample means to redeem all the outs standing bonds and securitirs as they becon|e redeemable. * * if the tnoner market becomes stringent, if curreicy becomes scarce, the holder may be willing to surrender his bond in oriter to get currency; and why uot Sive Iffim that privilege ? This is in-ispeisa'oly necessary no guard agaiust suddfji contraction and panic." CtOIlBiKQ SINGLE-HANDED. Hit Wasco (Texas) Examiner says: The |Jnited States mail coach and five paswligers were robbed by a single man oil Gutesville road on tho 14th in­ stant. Mercer Smith, the driver,gives tho Allowing particulars of the affair: "Tipstage, left Waco at eight o'clock We^pesday morning. R. H. Cumby, of GaioSville, Mr. Stovalt. of Hamlifon, aml#^- S. Tipton, D. S, Stover andM. Peters on, young men recently out from Teitaesec, were in the stage. Just be­ fore rsiiching the South Bosque crossing a horsemau appeared in the road ahead of^piem and road slowly until the stage ovortook him, when, turning suddenly, he fevelled a revolver at the driver and ordered him to stop. Smith stopped hia lorses, and the robber then ordered the passengers out of the stage and made them stand in a row with their h^nils locked over their heads. One at a time the passengers wore required to thrjf# their pocket-books to the d. When all had done so. Smith, request of the robber! gathered mangy and luuided it to him. Smith was then ordered'1 to1biit*'>*opW the mail bags. He refused at first, but. being threatened with death, finally obeyed, and handed the robber four registered letters, the contents of which are unknown. From the passen­ gers Mr. Highwayman got $133; Stover gave him 980; Peterson. $30; Tipton, 86, and Messrs Stovalt and Crumby each $9. He generously gave back to each passenger enough money to pay hotel expenses. Using no harsh language, he seemed perfectly cool, and said he was sorry that circumstan­ ces compelled him to commit robbery. He rode a thin bay pony, was dressed in jeans and wore a handkerchief over the lower part of his face. Causing his victims to turn, their backs towards him, he expressed tho hope that he would not again have to trouble them on the highway, and with a cheery "Goodby, boys," rode off on a gallop in the direction of Wasco. The driver and passengers were all unarmed, the only weapon on the stage being an empty shot-gun. The Broken Life Insurance Companies. At a great meeting held many years ago at Exeter hall, in London, to raise money for a charitable object connect­ ed with the Established Church, it de­ volved upon Rowland Hall, the cel­ ebrated wit and preacher, to make the speech just before the collection was to be taken up. ,kMr. Chalraian,"said llili, "how I would like to see the four- ard-twenty bishops of this realm hung by their heels to that chandelier, and then have the ushers stand with the plates below and catch tho guineas that dropped from the plethoric pock­ ets of their lordships; what a mu­ nificent sum we would get for this worthy charity!" We think something like this must pass^through the minds •f the swindled policy holders in some of the life insurance companies as they contemplate the munificent salaries, fees and perquisites that have been paid to the presidents, the actuaries, the mathematical counscl, the legal counsel, and other official cormorants of these companies, who have swallowed up the funds collected from peoDle that had trusted in their honesty and honor. New York Sun. jfiyLast year the Prlnc o f Wales laid the foundation of the new Glasgow postoffice, and now the bill of costs has been published--$44,000. The expenses seem to have been almost en­ tirely for decorations, stands, platforms triumphal arches. Eating and drink­ ing items do not amount to $100. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. WASHIHOTOK. D .C., July 30,th 1877. Civil Service Reform is being carried rather to extremes In the Interior De­ partment, if a recent current report may be relied upon. Secretary Schurz is said to have issued an order to the effect that every day lost on accnuut of sickness 6hall be deducted from the clerks annual leayo of absence. If this be so, it will be deemed a great bard- ship in that it will prevent many from visiting their homes and families.-- Those who live in distant States can barely make the trip in the month. Whjch is tho m<>st they cau have, and and tho«e who suffer from a days ill­ ness every now and then are the very ones who most need the visit home but whom this order reaches. The Gov­ ernment can surely afford to be as gen erous as individuals, and what private firm would think of docking a clerk or book-keeper for every day's sickness?" Although President Hayes appears to bo most genial and kind-hearted, he is fast proving himself to b^ firm, almost to hardness. His late refusal to par­ don the man Ely, convicted in New York for fraudulently obtaining Natu­ ralization papers for use at the polls, was a surprise to his friends, but Is having a salutary effect in detaining others from petitioning for pardon.-- It is har»h, in one sense, to set ourselves agailist pardoning penitent criminals. It isn't quite following the grcjtt ex­ ample that has been set for us, but in this degenerate world and age, we set crimiuals free only to allow new crimes to be committed, and a re-imprison­ ment to follow. Sinner!* must serve out the sentenoe if only for a lesson to others. The speakership of the next House is a subject of great concern and much discussion in political circles here­ abouts. President Hayes himself ex­ presses anxiety on the subject and is reported to have said In a recent con­ versation that although he had given up all hope that a Republican Speaker can be elected, yet he deems it possi­ ble, and really due to himself as an ap­ preciation of his course toward the South, that an Independent candidate be supported in opposition t o the Demo­ cratic caucus nominee. Randall ap­ pears now to be ahead in the race, aud his holding the speakership me tins the President to be prosecuted with a view of throwing discredit upon his title and driving him from the White Home Carfleld is siwfcub.ftC.. the Republican candidate and Gen. Banks as the Independent. Democrats remember that the latter was a Greelej' man in 1872 and not a few Southern Democrats of liberal tendencies are ready to support him. He undoubted­ ly possesses marked ability as a presid­ ing officer and is often mentioned as the model speaker by those who re­ member his term in tho chair. Work at the Navy Yard is goihg briskly forward. There are now no va­ cancies iu any of the Departments there. More than 1300 applications in excess of the number required are on file. The Navy Yard is not an unpleas­ ant place to live in. There are fine houses, pretty grounds and pleasant company to be found there, while the sound of machinery gives ever a liveli­ ness to the place. One can never be lonely within sound of so much near business. Miss Grundy, a Washington corres­ pondent of social gossip, has gone to Put-in-Bay, on Lake Erie. John Brown's son lives there, a batclielor of fifty-two with long sandy beard, dark hair, and pleasant womanly eyes. He brooded over his father's body "moul­ dering in the grave" aud over a long lost love of his own. Grace Greenwood, (Mrs. Lippincott) another Washington writer, has gone to Colorado to spend the hot months.-- She is a tender, loving woman, always finding pearls and getting proteges.-- Two of her treasures are to come out next month, both star actresses--Anna Boyle, a fourteen year old Juliet, is to play at Union Square Theatre, New York, and Annie Story at the National in this city. These weeks are too warm for much pleasuring. Most of that enjoyed is on the river, boating and picnicing. The excursion steamers are well patron­ ized. A. M. W. fgg-The Reckford BegUter say»:It Is known somewhat near what the little bill for court house damages will amount to. The bill loots up so far as follows: By new contract with Mr. W. D. Richardson, including alter­ ations and changes and removal of debris, $46,000; to bill of coroner and jury. $261, to new plans, specifications, services of experts, etc.. $440; probable bill for short hand report, $500; total, $48,19& The indirect expenses, loss ot time, extra meeting of Board of Super­ visors. etc., must be also included. Whether those who have presented claims for damages will recieve any­ thing, remains yet to b* seen. £•/ mm * , i w X BUSINESS PUNCTUALITY. It is astonishing how many peflpltf are unpunctual. Thousands have failed in life from this canse alone. It is not only a serious vice in itseif* bnt thtf fruitful parent of numerous other vices so that he who becomes its victita i«* soen involved iu toils from which it ia almost impossible to escape. It makes the merchant wasteful of time, saps the business reputation of the lawyet» and injures the prospects of mechanics who might otherwise rise to fortune; in a word, there is not a profession nor station in life which is not liable to t^B; canker of this destructive habit. Many of Napoleou?s great victories were won by infusing into his subordi* nates the necessity of punctuality t© the minute. It was his plan to man- ®uvre over large spaces of country, to render the enemy uncertain where her was abont to strike^ and then suddenly concentrate his forces and fall with irresistible force upon some weak poin$ of the extended lines of the foe. Exe* cution of this system demanded that each division of the army should ar­ rive at a specified spot, punctually, for if any part failed to come up, the bat­ tle was lost. It was by imitatiug this plan that the allies finally succeeded in overthrowing the Emperor. Tho whole Waterloo campaign turned upon these tactics. At Mt. St. Jean, Bluchor was punctual, while Grouchy was not, and the result was, Napoleon fell and Wellington triumphed. In merchantile affairs punctuality |(f quite sts important as in military!# Many are the instances in which, neg­ lect to renew an insurance polity, punctually, has led to serious loss.--- Hundred of city merchants and mantt* facturers and publishers are now suf­ fering in consequence of want of punc­ tuality among their country customers in paying up accounts. It is sound pol­ icy which moves the banks to insist, under penalty of protest, upon tho punctual payment of notes; for, wero they to do otherwise, commercial transactions would fall into inextric** ble confusion. Many a time has a fail­ ure of one man to meet obligations brought about the ruin of a score of others, just as the toppling down ot the first in a line of bricks causes tho fall of all the rest. ------ • •«' «" - An Apology By a Compllm^lP'^* Next to Washington, Gen. Grteivo was the best officer of the Revolution. His vigilance was unceasiug, and ho W3 ttm rntn to attaolc tfeo. enemy at advantage, or to gnardt against surprise by surperior numbers. In his campaign in North Carolina, against the larger and better equipped army of Cornwallls, he spent many hours of the night in visiting ever;? part of the camp, and inspercing the sentiuels and officers on guard. Ono night as he was passing the tent of Col. Greene, a namesake but no re la- tive, who was one of his most trnstsd # officers, his quick ear detected snoring, which indicated that the vigilant sol- dier had dropped asleep. Rushing in- ||| to the tent, he shook the sleeper rough- ^ - ly, saying. "Colonel, how can you be ^ sleeping with the enemy so near and i«T this the very hour for surprises?" Tho quick-witted Colonel had a ready a pel- ':\i ogy, saying, as he rubbed his eyes, "Pardon nie. General, but I knew that ife you were awake." The General par- "I doned the negligence, and ly^ghed ^ heartly at the witty excuse. . 0?' TvSt Fashionable extravagance hao of late years ordained a costliness in funeral decorations that is in bad tasto if not absolutely sinful. For tho neat and handsome walnut coffin of a score of years ago is now substituted a gaudy, metallic, patent casket;ft wrethed sham made of sheet-iron, cover* ed paint, polish and tinsel ornament, and sell from $100 to $250. We are told that one of our townsmen' buried in an $125 casket a few month* ago, was moved a few- days sinco, and tho wretched sleet-iron cask-1 was found already sateu through w ith rost - and filled with water through the rust- eaten holes. Sham and cheating anil foolish extravagance pursues one nowa­ days even into the grave. How much farther? Is there to be a sham judg­ ment, sham heaven, sham hell? Guess not! But it would be well for all to set their}feet down5 firmly in opposi* tion to extravagance in funerals and monuraentai marbles. They are com­ ing to be so costly that one can hard^ ly afford to be buried at all.--St/camor* Republican. . , $r--••< ' i 1 •. , m BASE BALL--The catcher of the ^ vard College Club has invented a mask to be worn on the face, and whieh is a complete protection to the eyes, now aud offers no obstruction to the sight. , v The best protection, it has beensnggest* ed, however, is to hire another fellow s to take your place, while you sit on tho * feuce and see him bunded onvof shapo ^ The celebrated Badger Wind Mills at R.
