Since there must be offices to fill, and since hope springs eternal, it follows that multitudes of people will persist lit hunting for place! and in applying for them long aftefc the places are all occupied. The multi^ plication of offices has only served to Increase the seekers after to an abnor­ mal degree. It is a had sign of the times' that sc many people want to live other peeple. For an office-seeker usu­ ally expects to get something for noth­ ing. He wants a sinecure, Or. if he has ; any notion of work, it rises no higher than that of Special Agent Blavic, who lately resented being ordered out into the West, as lie was confident that he h*d been appointed to build up an Ad- ini-ntetratiou party in his own StAte.-- A« army <»f office-seekers, like an army of tram<p&4 is an indication of a certain loee «f manly vigor; Poverty and lazi­ ness drive many uieu into the highw ays where they tramp so long thatjthey can •never again w»rV for a Wring, A man once driven into Che ranks of the office- seekers, with difficulty finds his way out again. It he balds office for a time ne is in danger of being permanently disabled. During <tbe rest of his natur­ al life he hunts lor =au office, except while lie holds an olftoe. By .atid by pressure for official ap- p&iiitmeiits will decrease. In the na­ ture of tilings, such -a high tide cannot always be maintained at Washington. But though the freshet may cease, the current will continue to flow. The main business of the President of the United States will be to bear applicat­ ions for office,. From 10 oVloek in the uioi-Hing until 3 or 4 oV'lock in the af­ ternoon, the curious visitor at the White House will sae the Jinti-rooms filled with people waiting theix turn to ppply for a position. TJiey have their pampers well thumbed, and reinvesting great variety of "luliuenoe^ and they are all determined to see the President about the particular place which tiiey want. Most of those people hav*e been to the Cabinet officer iu whose de|JKrt- lOent lies the ^bjekct of tltejf They have baen told that tlniir appli­ cation was useless. They have reserv­ ed <tiie President AS their Last resort* As they have failed in the first iustanee they w& more intiporttinnte now. , Unle^ five highest office in the Re­ public is to be permanently converted iuto laborious dterk£bi|v tike j*resent system of making »ppoujtm<e"t8 must be radicajly cltange<d. The President, of course, will oontwl tit« appointments which are pnoininentlv t« give charac­ ter Co ills Administration, But the great bulk of the executive patronage flight to be in the hands of the heads of the executive deportments. Cer­ tainly it is not beyond the ingenuity oi man to devise a system which shall prevent office-seeking from becoming a permanent nuisance.--JV. Y. Times. Wanted,-- low. ' IP June Ut.

Not a little attention has been drawn by the public prints to the recent ac­ tion of the Cincinnati Chamber of Oom- merce urging a change in the Resump­ tion Act. so as to postpone the time of its enforcement, A notable feature in the movement is that it was strenuous­ ly urged by prominent republicans and in the discussion it was authoritatively stated that Mr. Bristow,late Secretary of the Treasury, had pronounced the carrying out of that law as"utterly im­ practicable/' The delegates of the Chamber to the National Board of Trade were instructed to submit and urge kimiliar action by that body. It remains to be seen what influence this advice from their old republican friends and neighbors will have upon Mr. Hayes and Mr. Sherman, If reinforced by the votes of the people of Ohio it will tell. |&"The k*Act to regulate the prac­ tice ef medicine in the state of Illinois*' passed by the List Legislature, is mak­ ing quite a stir among the doctors. Section 13 says "that any person prac­ ticing medicine or surgery in this state, with complying with provisions of this act, Shall be punished with a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or by imprison ment in the county jail for a period of pot less than thirty or more than three, hundred and sixty-five days," etc., etc. So it seems to be nccessary for physi­ cians in practice to look into .the mat­ ter, or some ef them might incure a fearful penalty. At the close ef the section, however, there is a proviso, "That the provisions of this'act shall not apply to those that have been prac­ ticing medicine tea years within this state." A very curious law on the whole. The uext Legislature will pro­ bably wipe it out of existence. WASHINGTON COUKKSPONDKMCK. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug., 13th, 1377. Mrs. Mary Livermere lectures on **W"hat Shall we do with our daughters." Horace Greeley boldly advised young men what to do with themselves. Rob­ ert Collyer tells ycuug people of both sexes how to succeed in their under­ takings, aud Henry Ward Beecher grews elequent over the absurdity of the idea that a family, of six or eight ©r a dozen members cannot live and be happy ou a dollar a day; but none ef these excellencies appear to have 6olv. «d the question that just now is agitat­ ing all country loving and patriotic Winds, namely: What can we do with men who are out of employment? it is useless to answer that they brought their idleness upon themselves, that Jihey are responsible for their ewn con- iiion, and so en--the fact that our imtry holds a million of unemployed forking men still remains together ith the certainty that the country is t safo with that number of idlers, million of men unable to get work •enns mere than four millions of per­ is in all parts of the country, discon- ted, ill at ease, reckless and ready any change, reasouing blindly, that ir condition can be no worse and v be bettered through turmoil, con- ion, riot or blood-shed. There is lit- «**ally nothing to do. The West is as m as the East, aud the North as the t&uth. Thiukiug ar.d intelligent men that there is no remedy fer the sent stagnation ef affairs but for Government to take the matter in ht|Hd <uid make a move in au onward direct ion. One has said. "No States- sfclp t an afford to have a million of men t<£e.

The who founded the G«yerument did calmly accept what tradition t them; they examined, deter- ed and created for themselves. Let present {Statesmen follow their hy example." re are still many office seekers in ingtou, though they are not as us as they were for two months ding the inauguration ef Pre&l- fajtis, aud they appear to be coiu- <»t«,"verr tMISareot'claee <»f pie. Then the District was full of them all kiuds and classes and ages. Hun­ dreds were here beforehand, ready to seijje the first chance. They came from all parts of the Union aud stayed as long as they had the least hope of success. But those now here are very largely Southerners, Because of the President's Southern Policy, and because of his en­ deavor to conciliate the South, they appear to have formed the idea that all office holders are henceforth to come therefrom, and so numbers have left their homes and come hither in the ex­ pectation ef being put iuto office on the sole recommendation of hailing from the Southern States. A tormenting suspicion is growing in the minds of boarding* hourckcepers* &ud* other-citi­ zens of the District whe have business with Washingiei/s *tiuncielit*,w that these people have come here with high hopes and have stayed so long te have them realize that they have no money togethome with. Nobody seems to know then, but they have long lists of names of the people of their States at­ tached to their recommendations for office, and they make daily visits to the White House and to the several Depart­ ments, "standing rouud"' the rest of the time in the shade of hotel awnings, moving as tine sun does, and after its setting, converse In groups en the cor> ners or standing iu solitary meditation. There they have been for weeks and weeks, the same set ef men in the self same attitudes, standing in tbe same shady places, and wearing tbe same placid look of assurance. Jn other cit­ ies they would be arrested as vagrants, A delegation of North Carolina office seekers have rented a furnished house in co-partnership where they sleep* taking their meals in cheap restaurants, When they are so fortunate as to gain au audience with the President, they come away with the impression that be has treated them with unusual court esy and confidence, Mr. Hayes has a happy faculty of making everybody lie talks with, feel that ho favored them individually, and none ever go out of his presence in anger or dissatisfaction but generally find that tUey are, in re ality, no wiser and no farther advanced as regards their interests, than before they were granted as interview.

M. M. W. f9»The papers are publishing the names ef fourteen New York business men who discharged employes because they were o$11ed off for duty in milita­ ry companies to which they belonged, during the late excitement. We used to hear about the "wickedest man in JOHNSON'S COMMERCIAL COLL,KGK. The Short Haud Department of this Institution is under the charge of Prof. R. Martin, a practical aud rapid short hand reporter, and a most competent teacher of the art. We are therefore in a position to guarantee to every stu­ dent in this department a thorough knowledge of short hand writing, in the briefest possible time. « The advantages of a practical knowl­ edge of short hand are so numerous and varied, that we can ouly mention a few of the most premineut. To those attending school or college and to all students, short hand affords the means of recording the lectures and address of their teachers, and perserv- i:ig them for future use also, for mak­ ing extracts from books, Ac. It gives an excellent insight into the principles of the English language, and as iu re­ porting the writer is always several words behind the speaker, aud is thus obliged not only to remember and write down what luts been uttered, but to listen to what is being -spoken, this two-fold operation of the mind greatly strengthens the memory, a faculty which more than any other is improved by exercise. The advantages to be derived from the habit ofjreporting public lectures, speeches, sermons, &cH art to obvious to require mention. To Clergymen, Authors, and all in the habit of much writing, whose thoughts flow much mere rapidly than they can be expressed by ordinary long-hand, Phonography offers a meth­ od at once rapid and legible, which greatly facilitates coinpositiou, en­ abling tliein to perform as much labor in one hour as is usually performed in six; while to business and professional men, it offers an easy and rapid meth­ od of makiug memoranda, drafting let­ ters, keeping private accounts,and in a thousaud other methods of economiz­ ing time and labor. To young men desiring pesitien as clerks, &c., we would say that every law aud railroad office in the ceuutry re­ quires the services of at least one short hand writer, and any business house having any large amount of correspon­ dence, will give tlie preference to a skillful short hand writer, ^The present demand for short haud writers much exceed* the eupplyr /riwr wfcwrt hand profession is almost the ouly one that is not over-crowded, and none ether holds out the same inducements for young uien to engage in it. The sala­ ries paid Phonographsrs are always good, aud this will eoutiuue to be true fer many years. ; To ladies, Phonography, viewed sim­ ply as an accomplishment, is pleasing, useful aud improving, while to tho«e seeking positions as copyists, amanu­ ensis, «&c., it is simply iuvaluable. Tbe time necessary to attaiu a knowl­ edge of Phonography varies from three months and upward. The theory is acquired in from two to four weeks; the acquisition of a rapid style then depends on the amount of time devo- ie&eoch day to practice. The art may be acquired by any one who can read and writs tolei»bl> well. «tudeuts be­ tween the ages of twelve and twenty- one years ef age usually learn the most rapidly. For the convenience ef those who are unable to attend the day sessions, we shall also have night sessions all the year round, Students can enter at auy time. By a special series of lessons, adapted by Prof. Martin for instructions per mail, Phonography is brought within tbe reach ef those who canuot attend tbe college, Special attention paid to this brauch. TERMS.--In class or per'mail, per quarter, $15 The Neenali (Wis.) Times thus speaks of the gypsies: The gypsies who have lately left Madison have en­ camped out near this city. They have some rough looking men, but most beautiful looking women. The chief has a daughter of 10 years, who is of surprising lovliness, a queen among queens, said to be the most beautiful woman in the country, combining healthful Anglo Saxon blood and Italy warm njtture. The chief, it is said, has tired ef his nomadic manner of living and will give the hand of his daughter and a dowry of $20,000 to any young man with proper credentials as to mor? ality and standing in social life wUo will marry this beautiful queen. The Saldde'a HoteL The Suicide's Hotel, in Latin Quar­ ter, Paris, has been torn t!s»ri. Tea years ago a young student, despairing and in love, blew out his braius In th# room which he was occupying. Just one year afterward another studeut committed suicide in the same room, afier losing his money in a gambliug house. The proprietor of t!»« betel was alarmed at the fato of those un* happy students, audi- the room wa# * transformed into a lumber closet, Jk*. < few moufths afterward a waiter, who had been accused of theft, crept into this lumber room and hanged himself * Tlie superstitious hotel-keeper was nov# in despair. He surrendered the leas* and abondoned the chamber of death* 'I The hotel wos repeatedly sold, but Itt reputation was unclanny, and fiobody could thrive there. A strong minded ^ druggist took possession of the pre mi- i ses, and carri ed on his business there, but finding his wife had deceived Mm retired to the fatal spot and them* poisoned himself With his own drugs.-- . The whole Quarter was up iu arms,an4 demanded that the t.oom should bo 4 walled in, but the new comer laughe# at the fears of his neighbors and d#|i clared that he meant to occupy thf chamber himself. At last notice w* v- given that the place was about to bff^ pulled down, to make room for thf Boulevard Saint Geruiatn. An inuetn* nity of $50,000 wa* demanded, but re* fused, and tbe jury liaviug decide«| that $17,000 was ample compensation the owner grew despondent, and dared he was a rulued man. A montfe ago he asked permission to visit th# old premises before they were pulioct down. His request was grauted, and no more was heard of him until workmen found him hanging by neck in the fatal room. „ U : i i ' -i | > J SUCCESSFUL MKK •> ; .

They sat up late, rose early to the per* tormance of imperative duties, doing by daylight the work of one man anil by night that oi another. A banker «ii , high integrity, and who started in lifti without a shilling, said, the ether day* "For years I was in ray place of bust* ness at sunrise, and often did not leavf it fer fifteen or eighteen hours."
