Many good solid chunks of common senso wero presented by tho lectin ers at the County lnstituto last week-, anu moit of tho advice thcro given is worthy to be c.irefully stowed away in tho storo house of tho mind for future uso. There was ono thing said, how ever, bv ono of the eminent gentlemen with which wo cannot agree literally. Ho advised young men to keep out of politics, and pictured tho unhappiness of tho defeated candidate vividly and with force. If wo understood tho SDeaker correctlv. he confounded tho politician with tho oillce-seeker. This is a natural error for any ono to fall into, becatiso it has como to he gener- ally recognized that no man goes into - . r 1.!.. ..artn pontics except ui ma uwu hipuhh cam. Tho ward workers anu the wiro pullers are for self first and party after wards, but thev must necessarily at tach themselves to ono or tho other of the great political organizations in or dor to accomplish their desired ends. A politician is commonly understood to be a man who dabbles in public af fairs and is devoted to tho advance ment of a particular party, becatiso it is personally beneficial to do so, and this is one of tho definitions given in tho dictionaries of a politician. Hut there is a higher and better sense in which ono mav bo a politician. Tho true definition of tho word is applicable to one who is versed in the scienco of gov ernment and the art of governing, am in this sense, every intelligent man in this great Kepublio should bo a poll tician. If tho speaker meant simply to caution voting men against oluco- seeking, against lobbying, against wire nulling, and against all tho wiles and trickery ami treachery of modem politics, then can we most heartily en doise every word ho uttered. The pathway of life is strewn all along with the wrecks of young men who have gone into politics, men who went in to win lor themselves honor anu lainoana position, but the snares wero too strong for them, and they wero engulfed in tho abyss that has ruthlessly swallowed up'snmo of the brightest and best of tho land. Hut as a rule llicso men wero office-seekers ; they wero not pol iticians in the high sense of the teim, They did not look upon politics as tho "science ot government ; as mat pan of ethics which has to do with tho reg illation and government of a nation or state, tho pieservation ot its saiety, peace and prosperity." They used pol itics as a bridgo over which all must pass to gain proferment in office, and alas, to many of them it proved a bridge oi sighs. Tho science of government is one of tho most profound of all studies. It has to do with tho happiness of all peoplo. Upon it depends tho prcse vatiou of all human rights, and tho stability of a nation depends upon tho manner m which tins science is under stood and applied, Ono of the great 'st weaknesses of tho United States to day is in the fact that tho better clas cs of citizens take eo little interest in politics. It has grown to be a profes sion of such a character that but lit tie honor is connected with it, and it is looked upon as unclean, and a calling to bo avoided as mueh as possible by all, except those who inako a living out of it. If this view of it bo cor net, tho fault is with those people who liavo abandoned thoatlairs ot the govern inent to men who are actuated by mer cenarv motives rather than patriotism Wo must not be understood as saying that there nro no patriotic statesmen There niu exceptions to all rules, am tho men who give their lives up to tho making of laws lor tho government o tho peoplo from love ol country, nro tho executions in the caso under dis cussioii. Wo believe that young men should go Into politics in tho truo sonse. They should maKo tncmscives iaimuur wu flm utlfinnu nf rnvnrmmint tllPV slioill VII V I w.-u.-... .-. - " - not be satisfied slinplv to act ax ina chines in tho exercise of their rights a citizens bv going to tho polls and cast ing (heir ballots for thosu whose names liavo been dictated uy n macnino ru hv nrofcsslonal politicians: they shoul pnet themselves on tho general issues of tho d.'iv.and then take n hand in nam ing tho candidates to bo voted for, use their intluenco m securing me nomina tion of honest and capablo men, ami then do all in their power to vecuro iho election of such. If young men go into politics with tho (Irm iletermlna tion of making them purer and clean cr anil belter, ami on uni permit mein selves to bo carried away by the hope of seeming an tflicial position, polities can bo greatly improved, and young men cannot bo injured by their honest cfTorlH to benefit their country. WASHINGTON LETTER. (VIIOM UPlt ltKUl'I.AIt OOUItl'.ll'OSIIKNr.) AsnisoTov, Jan. 1, 188."i. Tho first dav of the New Year wni celebrated in the uunl way in Wash ington by thousands who will never again tako pait In the ceremony, it was President Arthur's last reception, and thu last reception by a president of nit' jvcjmiimiu.1I! party, ior m lenst jour ears. Un tlio first of January, 1880, thcro will bo a new official and social croncl nt tho National capital, and tho. largo majority of those who to- ccivo and those who call will bo peoplo now to Washington. lliero was lem calling than on any previous first dav nf tho year during the last decade. The Adonises of tho Government offices liavo not vet been nhlo to pay the money they bet nnd lost on liLtinc. Tlio once exinilte rinco Albert coat has now a dissipv ed and fatigued appearand1, the fault less pantalooti9 nnd perfect hat are prnng at tho knees and rttstv and but tered as t" tho crown, Iho wearer has not tho heart or the stomach to face his changed fortuuo in these ha biliments. Washingtonlans are not llko tho Parisians, who celebrated n ationnl holiday with tho old tune gai ty when the Prussians wero in two lavs march ol tho doomed modern "orbii terratum." The ptospect has settled like a pall upon his spirits, nnd is evident in a hundred signs Hut n great many called and tho usual num ber of ladicj kept open houso on New Year's day. There is talk of a gay soo'al season. Then may be a Fort of artificial or galvanic gaiety pervading social nnd othcial Die. lut how can n political party bo gay at its own funeral! Thcro will doubtless bo the usual iitimuer ot presidential and cabinet receptions, and tho justices ot tho Miprcmo uourt, and tho Army and Naval people who aro not affected by tho vicissitudes of arty may bo lnumorent to tho impend- tig change, but thev are as "ono in ten thousand and altogether lovely.'' You will I nm sure approvo of your correspondent beginning tho New Year with quotations lrorn bcripturo like tho above. Tho truth is that I am pressed for something to wiile. I liavo just returned from making nbotit forty New Year's calls nnd I realize that this otter must go by tho next post. 1 havo a journalistic trieiu who last year was smart enough to wnto his New Year's letter on tho day before New Year. He described tho Presi- lent's reception in what ho thought was a very pretty picco of word paint ing. Ho told how Mr. Arthur receiv ed first tho diplomatio corps in their brilliant court regalia ; tho impressivo entrance of tho Justices of tho Supremo tJourt, Senators, Keprcsontatives, lien orals, Admirals, Commodores, and tho Irish Legation without stint. Hie letter was posted on tho 31st of Decem ber and it would havo answered admir ably but for an accident. On New Years while my friend was making calls, oblivious to tho drudgery of the pen, and much pleased with himself, ho heard that tho Dean of tho Diplo matic corps had dropped dead in the vestibule of tho White House, and that tho Presidential reception had been countermanded before it had begun. All signs point to a lively time from now until tho fourth of March, and af ter that tho Judgment. Uelween tho 22nd of February, tho time for tho ded ication of tho Washington monument, and tho inauguration, it is estimated that tho population of Washington will double itself. Organizations are coming in battallions and a feature of tho coming inauguration will bo argo number ot military organizations from tho south. It is estimated that ten thousand persons will attend the inaugural ball. Tho hall in which tho ball is to be held is a magnificent room, 31G feet long by 110 feet broad, and is believed to bo the second largest in tho world. It ib surrounded by a series ol smaller moms, all of which are con ncoting, in which there will, bo ample space for refreshment halls, cloak rooms, toilet chambers, and everything else that may bo needed. Around tho tall is also a long lino ot iron comma supporting the galleries, in which will bo seats for such spectators as do not care to join tho dancing. Theso col inns will be entwined with the three national colors, and between them will probably bo placed largo vases filled with natural ilowers. Numbers o plants will bo placed artistically around the room, and Hags nnd banners will bo arranged in effectivo designs and deco i ato tho walls. The whole vill bo lighted by tho eleotrio light, and will form a magnificent display, such as has rarely been seen in this country Decorators of oxponeuoi) will ho en gaged to perforin this woi k.

The lion. Grover Cleveland: Sir : Wo have the honor to address you on behalf of thu National Civil Service Reform League, an association composed of citizens of all parties, whoso solo purposo Is indicated by its name, nnd which takes no part what ever in patty controversy. Tho vast increase in tho number of persons engaged in tho civil service ami tho grave mischiefs and dangers arising from tho general proscription in the service which for half a century has- followed a change of party con trol of tho National Administration, havo produced so profound an impres sion upon tho public mind that tho first effectiro steps towards reform were taken with tho co-operation ol both parties in tho passage of tho Re form act of Jan. 10, 188!1. Tho abuses which that act seeks to correct, however, aro so strongly In trenched in tho traditions and usagts ot both paities that thcro is naturally widespread anxiety lest the partj change in tho National Executive ef fected by thu late election should show them to ho insuperable. Rut, believing as wo do, that thu leformed system cannot bo held to bo securely estab lished until it has safely parsed thu or deal of such n party change, and ie calling with satisfaction and confi dence your public exptthsionH favora ble to reform and your official nets as the Chief Executive of the Stato of Now York, wo confidently commend this cause to your patrlollu uaio in the exercise of tho groat power with which thu American p-oplo havo intrusted you. Kfupculfully youis, (5i:o. William Crura, President, and others. lmlf.sipkst.ki.kot cleveland s 1iepi.y. Amiaxv, Doc. 25. 1881. Hon. (Itmyf William Ctirtli, I'reildent, ie. Df.au Sin: Your communication, dnted Deo. 20, addressed to'ino on be half of tho National Civil-Servico He form League, has been received. That a practical leform In tho civil Seivioe Is demanded is absolutely es tablished by thu fact that n statute, re ferred to in your communication, to sccuiosuch n result, has been parsed in Con gi ess, with tho assent of both political parties i nnd by the ftiither fact that a sentiment Is generally prev alent nmong other patriolio peoplo call lug for the fair and honest enfoiou ment of tho law which has been thus enacted. I regMil myself pledged lo this becatiso my conception or tine Democratic faith and puhlio duty re quires that this an I all other statuus should ho in good faith and without vasiou enforced, mid because in many utterances made prior lu my election as President, approved bv the party to which I belong and which I havo no Imposition to disclaim, I havo in effect promised the people that this should be lone. I am not unmindful of the fact to which vim refer, that niauv of our cit izens fear that the recent parly change n thu national ivveeutivo may demon strate that tho nouses which havo grown up in tho civil service Ant ino adioaulo. I know that thoy nro deep- rooted, and that tho spoils svstcm has been supposed to be intimately ie- I at id to success in the maintenance of party organization, and I nm not sure that all thosu who profes lo bo the friends of this reform will stand 'Irmly among its advocates when they find it obstructing their way to patronage and place. UiH fully appreciating tho trust com mitted to my charge, no such consider, ation shall causo a relaxation on my part of an earnest effort to enforce this aw. Thsro is a class of Government posi tions which aro nnt within the letter of tho civil-servico statute, but which aro so disconnected with tho policy of an Administration that tho removal therefrom of present incumbents, in my opinion, should not bo mado during tho terms tor which they were appoint ed, solely on partisan grounds, and for the purpose ot putting in their places tlioso who nro in political accord with tho appointing power. IJut many now holding such posi tions havo forfeited all just claim to re tention, becau'o they havo used their places for party purposes in disregard of their duty to tho people, and because instead of being decent puhlio servants, they havo provod themselves offensive partisans and unscrupulous manipula tors of looal party management. The lessons ot tho past should be un learned and such officials, as well as their successors, should bo taught that efficiency, fitness and dovotion to puh lio duty aro the conditions ot their contiuuanco in public place, and that tho quiet and unobtrusivo exercise of individual political rights is tho reason able measure of their party service. , If 1 wero addressing rono but party friend, . I should deem it entirely proper to remind thorn that though tho coming Administration is to bo Democratic, duo regard for tho peo plo's interest dons not permit faithful party work to bo always icwardedby appointment to office, and to say to them that while Democrats may ex pect nil pioper consideration, selections tor oliico not embraced within tho civil-servico rules will bo based upon sumcicnt inquiry as to fitness, institu ted by those, charged with that duty, rather than upon norsistent lmportu pity or self-solicited recommendations on behalf of candidates for appoint ment.

St. TUBTIN, Jan IWI w uuuier. iianamnurvs. l'llll.AhkLl lllA,Jiu.uar)-r., MA. We are going to sell a lalf-million of gooda, mote or less, for a good deal less than cost. Several reasons prompt us besides the desire to keep things moving at a time when nothing but money will move them. We have the goods, the room, the people ; expenses are going on. We can afford some loss rather than let trade drop. The heavy trade of the past three months has broken some of the stocks severely. It isn't a loss to sell fragments of stocks at a loss ; but we are talking about more than fragments ; we are going to pick out somewhere near a quarter of the store, and sell it this month for what it will bring. At the end of the month, when another sort of trade begins, we shall have the money to buy the things that then begin to be wanted, the room to put them in, and time and attention for business. We shall pick out what ever we can best let go, of course ; but things that be long to the weather and time of year : timeliest things . movable things : January things; things of all the year and every year. We do not know a fiftieth part of the news to begin , with. It will have to develop from day to day. We shall give it as fast as we can, as full as we can. We .shall need to give it the fuller, be cause of the slight we seem to put upon things by the very fact of letting them go at a loss. We take a single subject to-day: ladies' over-garments, not including furs. We shall go through the store, clear out every sort of goods; and our method all through will be about the same as our method to-day. You needn't wait fur the news. We shall pi inf- as fast as we can ; but i!ic news'll be farter. Ladies' over-garmcni.T of all sorts, except furs, inclinl ing those trimmed with Inr. The list includes, perhaps-, half the stock. The other half remains as it was. Plain cloth coats of various styles and colors to be sold for $3 ; not new or fine, sub stantial. Beaver coats, black and colored, trimmed with plush, to be sold for $4 ; not new ; fair. Stockinet coats, $5. Plain black and heavy. Braided stockinet coals, black and colored, to be sold for $7.50 and $10; extra ordinary for quality, ornate in style. Black beaver dolmans trimmed with astrakhan, 6, $8and!o. The same with elaborate braided trimming, $15 and $20. The cloth of the $6 dolman is fine enough to be decent. The others are finer and prettier and more substantial. The mean est of them is an excellent garment. Tricot dolmans, black and colored, trimmed with fur, 20 and 25. The cloth is heavy and fine ; the colored brown and blue and green, are put at the lower price. Newmarkets of many cloths, 5 and 7. Some are better than others ; some arc prettier than others ; perhaps the prettier ones are not the best ; and possibly some of the best may be at the lower price. Newmarkets, brown bea ver, $10 ; of Berlin twill, fur trimmed, $ 1 2 ; of black stock inet, $15. Seal-cloth coats, $20 to $55. Some of the finest and richest cloth. Ottoman-silk dolmans trimmed with fur, $35 ; braided, $35 and $50. Sicil ian dolmans trimmed with fur, $25 and $30. Matelasse dolmans trimmed with fur, $40. . ' Russian circulars of Sici lian trimmed with fur, $15, $18 and $35. Foreign silk wraps of a hundred styles; long and short; velvet, brocade, beaded, plush; black and colored; trimmed with fur, feathers, chenille, etc. The same as advertised a week or two ago ; the same as foi double the present prices ever since the season begat'. And thus the whole stock is going to be sifted. John Wanamaker. VIieitiitit.Tli'rtecnlli And Market btreets, in 11 (i,-Iihi mtiun 11 ULE ON IIE1HS.
