Early in the evening an inquiry elicit- ed the response that the general had passed a fairly well day and was rest- ing nicely. The change from better to worse was rapid and at 11 o'clock the distinguished ex-president passed away. Ex-President Hayes passed quietly away, at his pleasant home, Spiegel Grove, He was surrounded by his family. Al- though over seventy years old, he was the picture of ruddy health until sud- denly stricken down Tuesday by neu- ralgia of the heart. He had suffered from the disease for many years, and when the death of Mrs, Hayes was an- nounced to him two years ago he was vived with great difficulty. CARLISLE will be Cleveland's secre- tary of the treasury. i tp rin scam IN WEST lLaserty, O., the people have ordered the negroes to leave the town, and have tarred and feathered of them.

THE 12 WASH- inquires of the “Who were A correspondent New York World: fore Washington?’ To which the World answers that the United States came into official existance as a nation Nov. 15, 1777, by the adoption of a con- stitution—the first Constitution known generally the “Articles of Confederation and perpetual union,” but to suppose that the United States had no existence between 1777 1779, or that the American constitu- as and of its last constitntion rather than from its first, is an error. The present constitution differs but very little from the first constitution. There Is no power conferred in the one that was notin the other, bunt the manner of executing the power is changed. Un- der the first constitution, for example, the Supreme Court existed as it exists formed from Com The President now, but it was mittee of Congress, was there, but he “President of the United States in Congress Assem- bled.” The cabinet (of thirteen mem- bers) was there, one from each State and the majority governed. The ond constitution took the in Was SO up, making certain people responsible for them. The Presidents before Washington had been merely puppets; they presided; they did not execute. Their names were: Henry Laurens, 1777; John Jay, 1778; Samuel Hunting- ton, 1779; Thos. McKean, 1780; John Hanson, 1781; Elias Boudinot, 1782; Thomas Mifflin, 1783; Richard Henry Lee, 1784; Nathaniel Gorham, 1786; Arthur St. Clair, 1787; Gyrus Griffin, 1788. They were each chosen for one year, and not eligible for re-election the following year.” a a FOR A GOVERNMENT CLERKSHIP. To all young men who contemplate a journey to Washington for the pur- pose of securing employment the best advice is, don’t. The humblest situa- tion in a mercantile house, where the pecuniary reward is small, where the hours are long and the labor is hard, is better in the end than a govern- ment clerkship. One way lie oppor tunities of advancement, for the utili- zation and final reward of every talent and all the energy that the young man possesses, The other way lie hopelessness, drudgery, stagnation. Many a poor young man seeks a gov- ernment clerkship in order that he may earn his support while he is study- ing his profession. He is taking up a staff that is likely to become necessary to him as a crutch. He is in danger of discovering, when his profession is learned, that he has not the moral courage to drop his government sti- pend. It would have been infinitely better—it might have been his mak- ing—if he had toiled for scantier dol- lars in a manlier way. ; The government clerk drags out a monotonous existence, dreary, un- promising of advancement, and if he Is not turned out in his old age to ling- “er on through his few remaining years in poverty, he is one of the most for- tunate of his kind. There is no service that so destroys DON'T TRY as that of a government clerk. Young men who think they have the ele : ian they would the plague. - Wirnniam H.
