WRECKED POLITICIANS. Since the profession ol the politician came to be veritable calling or occupation in the history of free govornment in this country—for there was a time in its history vhen most frequently office songht the man, and not man the office—there is no sadder sight anywhere than that of men past the period ol life when they might, with their own hands, hew out an independent and successful business carecr for themselves who by the one thousand chances which blast the hopes of the mere politician, have become the victims of disappointed ambition, ol mistaken and ruined hopes.

In the earlier times of lhe Republic, we say, when salaries were small and official positions comparatively few, there was little to stimulate these false expectations or hopes. The army of inspectors, assessors, tax-gatherers, their assistants, etc., etc., connected with the collection and disbursement of the revenue in these times had not arisen

for

twenty or thirty millions

per annum comprised the annual expenditures of the government then, and limited in numbers as the office-hold-ers were, the lew chanecs for success in office-seeking added to the low salaries allowed, tempted comparatively few to the uncertain quest.

Then men were raised to more definite and certain pursuits the farmer expected to be a farmer the mechanic a mechanic the business man, in whatever calling, expected to adhere to and arise to competency, if not wealth, in the career in which he had started. In short, the fierce greed for office which prevai's so widely now, had not yet infocted all classes, until every department of the government is beset with desperate hangers-on, an army of Micawbers waiting for "something to turn up."

Observing all this and reflecting upon it, should not the lesson it teaches be graven indelibly upon the heart of every young man in the land? When it is a certainty that except in afew, comparatively, favored positions, salaries are meagre, and edequate returns uncertain (unless plunder in one of its thousand forms is the object,) and when the tenure of office depends upon the

mere

breath of popular impulse, does success in that direction compensate at all for the sacrifice of a certain and valuable business pursuit—something which leaves a man his own master, which prevents his being tantalized and Urturcd every four years,or oltener, by the possible chances which wait upon every Presidential, State or county election?

Even now, who can help noting and pitying the thousands of men in our land, scores and hundreds in the departments at Washington, in the great custom houses of the cities in a word, in the numberless offices throughout the land,dependent upon the occupancy of the executive chair at the national oapital, or the voice of the people at the county elections, who are trembling at their uncertain fate* and who, engaged in any paying and certain businesa pursuit, can envy these and if so, what young man, especially, should not be warned in time against the folly of entering upon such an uncertain and unsatisfying career.

We are now in the midst of a fierce political campaign—a campaign more than ordinarily remarkable for a determined and reckless struggle for the spoils ol office—principle playing but a small figure in the canvass. Scores of men have their eyes upon every office within the gift of the Government, and it really seeuis as if the Republic is more and more cursed with the greed for power and plunder as the years roll by. Let the "ins" and the "outs" fight it out, with whatever clamor and hostility they may choose to display. But as we have shown, it is to the interest of the young, and the simple and truehearted of the country to think twice before they consent to begin a life of fruitless office-seeking, which in nine-ty-nine cases out a hundred, will throw the victim upon the strand a wrecked politician,"

A NrMBKR of gentlemen, representing a large amount of English capital, are in this country with a view to satisfying themselves of the capacity of the I'nited Suites with reference to a hiture supply of Iron. The conviction abroad that the world will ultimately have to look to us, Is said to be a growing one,and it ia known that a few of the more penetrating English capitalists and manufacturers are evw now ahaping their oourae accordingly. Pittsburg will abort] be vial ted by •ome of them, and no doubt we ahall see Lhem out thia way soon after.

To-day the sun crosses the equinoctial line, and the dayt*wfll| continue to grow shorter unl%^ 21st of December, when the wilk solstice begins. Although in popular language, autumn comprises the months of September, October and November, yet astrononomically considered it don't begin until the 21st of September. We consider it safe to announce that autumn has come. Not that our readers don't know it, but because it is a newspaper custom, whose origin reaches far back into newspaper antiquity. Yes, autumn has come. Astronomy is not needed to tell the fact. Wo know it, because the sun shines with a mellowed warmth, and fall clothing isn't burdensome because we are compelled to heap the bed clothes on at night to sleep comfortably, and the voice ol the mosquito is being hushed through the land because fashionable ladies are appearing in fall suits, and "nobby" young men are sporting fall hats because merchants are advertising their fall goods, (at a great fall in prices,) because the fall lairs are under headway, and there is a general call of creditors upon those who agreed to "settle in the fall because we have noted a great deal of pride recently, and vou know "pride cometh before a fall."

These mornings and evenings are but the herald, however, of the more gloomy period of autumn— "Of wailing winds and naked woods,

And meadows brown and sear."

We put summer, with all its heat and uncomfort, behind us with regret, for while we enjoy a good, ringing gale occasionally, we detest "wailing winds," and we don't like to see the woods performing in the "naked drama." "The poetry of motion" is lost when the noble oaks, the graceful maples, and the sturdy hickorys attempt ballet acts in the scantiest of drapery!

Now that autumn is here, it is spring in the Southern Hemispheres. The sun is travelling that way at a very rapid pace, taking his heated term with him, and in a very short time he will be making it very warm for the Southern Hemisphere. That thought affords us a little consolation when we reflect upon the sweating process the sun put us through a short time ago.

As far as we can learn, aatumn has appeared regularly at the time advertised almost from the creation of the world. To be sure our first parents didn't know anything about autumn when they first began house-keeping, but that was before the fall. As autumn has paid annual visits to the eaith for so long a time, there is no reason to suppose that she will not continue to do so, and that our readers may live to see many returns of the season. i3 the wish and prayer of The Mail.

THE days of chivalry are not parsed, as shown in a Richmond, Va., court. Two men loved a reigning belle. One called on her. The other sneaked around to aback window, and the next day told what he saw transpire in said parlor. It was damaging to the character of the young woman.

Thereupon,

the man involved, shot dead the Peeping Tom. The trial resulted in an acquittal but whether this clears the young woman is a question of serious doubt. One thing, however, is settled.

Virginia jury will jealously guard the good name of the daughters of the Old Dominion. But does Virginia do well in letting an assassin escape without punishment? Will such verdicts have a tendency to crush out or to increase the spirit of lawlessness whfch prevails in too many parts of the country Tha the slander of the lady was infamous no one can deny. Virginia has laws for the punishment of such slanderers, and the friends of the injured lady should have appealed to it. When they resorted to assassination they became even worse members of society than the slanderer. The only case in civilized society where taking life is justifiable is for the protection of life. Until this fact is recognized we shall have daily recurrences of revengeful assassinations.

Ax eloquent plea for silence* comes from the pen of an afflicted Bostonian. If silence is restorative, why is it not preventative? If good in sickness, why not necessary in health? He thinks we need have no noisy machinery, for that of the organ or piano is as complicated as a cotton mill, and yet by careful packing with leather and wool of the various parts gives us nothing but sweet sounds. May tho day of silent inventions be not far distant, when rubber tires, musical whistles, lowhumming machinery and Hk» blessings will make life endurable in every crowded city.

TnE Dakota Indians manifest a very natural repugnance to work. As they are all well fed by the Government, they argue quite philosophically, that it is better that they should not raise much corn. If they did, they would have to subsist on it, but if they do not, they can have meat and floor, which are mnch better.

A CATHOLIC girl in New ork lately espoused the Hebrew faith and a German gentleman the same day. Her parents thereupon took a coffin, with her name and age inscribed on it, to the church, and had high mass said over it, carried it to the cemetery, and buried

their

daughter to all intents and

purposes.

THE citizen* orWilmington, 111., offer £25,000 and twenty acres of land to say company that will erect iron works and rolling mill there. That is the way to baild ap manufactures.

The adventists tell us that the "six thousand years" of man's occupation of this globe will end this year—somewhere between the first of September and the first of January.rt,,

Crosby's opera house, which was the pi ide of Chicago bofore the fire, is not to be rebuilt, but steps have been taken for the construction of an opera house which will surpass that structure, to be located on the corner of Monroe and Dearborn streets, and cost over $400,000.

A Detroit man found under his kitchen floor, the other day, a package of $15,000 in greenbacks, but it had laid there so long that it was eaten up with rot, and on being handled crumbled to dust. How it catne there is the mystery.

It is a somewhat notable fact that, while the liquor trade is largely increased under the excitement of a political campaign, the book trade suffers to a corresponding degree. This is a feature in that trade which reappears every four years. During this season, therefore, the book trade will be dull, but after the Presidential election it will start afresh.

FREE SEATS.—Says an Eastern paper, it is no rare sight now-a-days to see the words "free seats" cut in marble over the entrance to city chapels. There is a growing public sentiment in favor of free seats in our churches. In a few years the system will become general, and, with the exception of a few wealthy and aristocratic churches, the seats will be free. There is a magic in the word "free seats." It is a brief but cordial invitation to the passer by to "come in." These words assure him that he will be welcome. He is at once relieved of the indescribable dread of encroaching upon somebody's rights. He can sit down and listen to the sermon without feeling that he is an interloper. When all the churches adopt the free seat system, and dress in such in a manner as will not make poor people feel their inferiority, congregations will be larger and conversions more frequent.

THE new home of the Communists is written of from Australia. New Caledonia is but six days from Sydney, upon which place the colony depends for its supplies. There, banishment must be a life-long punishment,- unless some miracle in civilization should take place, and that, under the piesent rule, is highly improbable. When the island was discovered by Cook, in 1774, great hopes of reclaiming and converting the natives were entertained, and some success was met with by the French missionaries who went there, but as they were speedily followed bj' Frcnch soldiers, all their eflorts were spoiled, and the natives went back to the degraded state in which they had been found, even sinking to cannibalism. There will be about 10,000 Communists stationed there, with one regiment of soldiers to guard them.

is just at hand. A young man named Lourneel. it appears, bad been indicted for the offense of "holding intelligence with the enemy" during the late war, and was brought before the Assize Court of Versailles for trial. A woman named Meyer was accused of being his accomplice, and it was through the quarrel of the two that their treasonable conduct was discovered. M.Jules Favre appeard as counsel for the woman. Before the trial began, however, a paper was handed to the Chief Justice, ssying in effect, that several members of thejury felt an unconquerable loathing for M. Favre, and that they did not think they could overcome their prejudice against any prisoner defended by him. The lawyers protested, but the court decided that the jury manifested prejudice which rendered them unfit to try the esse, pnt it over until the next session.

[From the Indianapolis People.] SENATOR MORTON AS A WORKER.

They may say what they please about Senator Morton's dark and saturnine visage, bis imperfect legs, his snubbing of certain friends and rewarding of certain others, bis inserting paragraphs into the President's message, his running the administration, his nepotism, bis money in bank, and his stock in others in the nume of a iriend, but one thing is certain, that as a political worker bis equal does not exist upon 'be continent. Before became from Washington all was chaos snd confusion in the Republican ranks of the State. A Holloway planned, a Brouse executed a Pink Fisnback divided the forces by ill-advised attacks on prominent men of the party a Kimball spoke until he was hoarse for unity and action a Porter manifested an intentiou of goiug in for the good of the cause big guns and little guns bellowed for something to be done—but little came of it. Morton spoke and lo! everything moved like clockwork—the waids, the counties, the districts, the State—all, all were thoroughly organized. A master spirit was at work and you conld see his work in every direction. But be did not simply direct. He shamed others by showing how much a single man—and a cripple at that—could do. He was here, there, everywhere. Was there lukewarmnes3 in the North—Morton rekindled the fires of patriotism upon the old Republican altars and caused them to burn with renewed brilliancy and vigor. Was there discord in the ranks in the South—Morton closed the breach and the phalanx was once more a band of brothers. Was there lacking Republican action in the East—Morton'spresence created enthusiasm, and like Rhoderick Dhu's bugle blast, 'twas worth more than a hundred men. Was there apathy and supineness in the West—Morton's clarion voice awoke the echoes of the past and the soldier hosts were again ready to keep step to the music of the Union. Without Morton the Republican campaign in Indiana would, we truly believe, have been a lamentable failure with Morton, it bids fair to prove a grand success, but even if beaten it cannot be said that it wa9 for lack of judicious, impulsive and determined action.

The wonder is how Senator Morton stands up under the work he does. We first hear of him at one place, in which he has thundered against the Liberals, and before we have hardly time to reflect upon his utterances, he has again breathed forth thoughts that move and words that burn. He seems to work with the power and the force of a score of more than ordinary politicians. He full comprehends how much is at stake in tho present campaign, and as if he bad made avow to know no rest day or night during its continuance, he isever on the move. Talk about his having both feet in the grave!—why it was only the other day that he spoke for forty minutes standing on his feet. Such is the force of the man's will, ambition. patriotism, or call it what you will, that we honestly believe were all bis limbs paralyzed and he knew be should die the noxt hour, he would find tongue to utter his views and rouse to action in the present stirring political campaign thaL is upon us.

ANDREWS,

well known in

this city, died very suddenly of apoplexy at bis residence in Marshall, on Saturday morning. The funeral servioesonTuesdhy morning, conducted by Rev. E. F. Howe, called together the largest assemblage ever seen in that tow on such an occasion business was suspended snd the procession to the grave wss overs mile in length, showing in a marked manner the respect due to a worthy, -respected 4nd lsmented citizen.

MRS. MABY COOKERLY, the wiieof Hon. G. F. Cookerly, died Tuesday morning after after a long and patient suffering from dropsy. Mrs. Cookerly was the daughter of Dr. Marcus Hitchcock, one of the first settlers of this city, and was a woman highly esteemed in the large circle of her acquaintance. Seven children mourn the loss of a dear mother and to the afflicted husband the kind sympathies of the community are extended.

THE Abbott-Kiralfy troupe played at the Opera House four nights this week with only fair patronage. Taken as a whole, the entertainment, to be seen once, and only once, was entertaining. The Kiralfy's in their ballet dances are good, and Mr. Abbott is an excellent clown, possessing remarkable powers of mimicry and facial expression. Among the best things were the Gratz sisters in their Tyrolean songs among the most objectionable aud repulsive was the Cat Song, with its attendant associations. All the ait in the world, combined though it with be grace and beauty, cannot make this song fit for a refined audience. Better let it slip into the cat-egory of things laid on the shelf. -M t-

A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.—One of the most terrible and horrifying afVairs that has ever happened in this vicinity occurred at the villago of Nuoia on Tuesday morning, between three and four o'cloock. A son of John Stepp, who has been insane for some time, but considered harmless, entered the sleeping room of his parents and with si large knife used lor cutting corn, cut his father about the head, causing such injuries that he cannot recover. The head and face of Mrs. Stepp was also chopped in a horrible manner, but she will recover. A little sister of the crazed young man escaped by running from the room and hiding. After porpetrating his horrible work the young man went out to the stable, where he was discovered in the attempt to hang himself., 4

THE individual who has magnificent schemes of advertising with which to deceive a business world Is still active. Now he has a chart to bang up in every depot and post office in the United States and Canadas and again it is calendar that is to be placed in every man's house whether ho wants it or not. There is no advertising dodge that could be invented, probably, that wouldn't catch somebody. Offer to put up a liberty pole in every ward and township in the Union, with business cards printed on it, and there are men who would believe it was going to be done, and squabble to have their card come on top. Newspapers are worth all other advertising mediums put together. rj.

Wis notice a groat many "four o'clocks" growing in the gardens throughout the city this season. Most persons are doubtless ignorant of tb« fact that this beautiful flower and plant contains a dangerous poison, and that should a little child thoughtlessly eat a few of the blossoms, the penalty therefor might be a painful death. Great care should be taken to guard against any such accident, but the best plan probably is to banish the "four o'clock" entirely from tho bouse garden. A cow owned by a family on South Seventh street broko into a neighbor's yard tho other night, and atn a whole bush of this species, and it IIAS been a very sick cow over since. II the poison has this effect on a strong animal, thesooner it is put out of tho reach of children the better for their safely.

EDITOR MAIL: In last wook's issu« ofyourpaperl noliccd in your local columns an advertisement for a lady to act ns cashier, which ended with this remark: "One whose circumstances are such that she is compelled to corn her own livelihood preferred." Here is a valuable hint for not only young ladies, but also young men. Business men generally want nothing to do with applicants who hasten to assure them "I needn't work unless I wish too." "It is not necessary I should go into a store, but I thought I should like to try to see how I would like it." When you tell merchants this they may be too courteous to answer, "then we wish nothing to do with.you." "Young people who do not feel any necessity for work seldom amount to much," but they think this all the same,and you ar»* perhaps surprised why others can yet situations and you cannot. Bear in mind then that work is honorable, and the necessity to do it, for your support, &bU*ging. Idleness is dishonorable and blighting to character, and those who can afford to sleep life away In its enjoyments, are to be most heartily pUied never congratulated.
