Kamsdell, the talented and candid Washington correspondent of the Phila delphia Times thus photographs Senator Mitchell. The faithfulness of the likeness will be recognized by "John's" friends, among whom we have the hanor to be classed: "Pennsylvania has at last found a col league for Mr. Cameron in the Senate. It is the fashion now to smile at the se lection, but the choice of John I. Mitch ell is a piece of luck of which the State will one day be proud. Mr. Mitchell is not a showy man, but he is staunch. Twenty years ago, less about two months I met John Mitchell for the lirsttime. lie had a musket on his shoulder and stood side by side with me in Camp Curtin, at Ilarrisburg, as line a specimen of noble young manhood as I ever saw. He was then a little over twenty years old, large, well built, rosy-cheeked, liglit-haired, honest-faced and altogether as manly a fellow as ever touched elbows to the left, lie had*taught school some, had studied law some and had scribbled for the news papers some. Ilis handsome manuscript had passed under my eye long before in the Agitator office, at Wellsboro'. Ilis army experience was not brilliant, but he earned the bars of a captain by conscien tiously doing his duty. When he left the army he went again to the law and for time he edited the Agitator. As an edi tor he was not particularly brilliant. Of his legislative experience at Ilarrisburg you know more than I do. He has been four years in the lower house of Congress arid he has scarcely a colleague who is not better known among his associates and by the country. He has made but one or two speeches, and these have at tracted little attention. But this is noth ing to his discredit. The biggest blath erskite is always the one who attracts the most attention. Mitchell is not a politician nor u profound statesman, but he has qualities that will place him far ahead of his colleague among substantial thinking people. lie is not an orator, but his integrity has never been question ed and no man ever knew him to break his word. Jle will not undertake to lead public sentiment or control political con ventions, but he will do his own thinking and he will never be known as Hon Cam eron's Mitchell. The papers have been wrong in saying he would be Cameron's man." Postmaster-General Mayuard is report ed as saying to Senator llamlin that he had been a quarter of a century in public life, and that he is now poorer than when he began. The Senator replied: "Well, lam not. I had nothing when I com menced, and I have nothing now." The higher ollices of Government, whether state or national, by reason of their hon or, couspieuity, and influence, are eagerly sought by those who love to appear be fore the public. The ambition is by no means ignoble and unworthy. Almost any one would be willing to be President, or be a member of his Cabinet, or hare a seat in either house of Congress. And yet experience shows that oflice-holding, even of the higher grades, is very far from being what most men take it to be. And when we descend to the lower grades where there are but few honors and the services are for the most part merely clerical, the general truth is that no one secures to himself as many benoits as he loses by oflice-holding. j The walks of vir tuous business industry will, for a rule, offer more opportunites for what men call success in life than the offices of Govern ment; and they are attended with less wear and tear of human nature. One who can achieve a decided success as an oflice-liolder would, in the simple matter of money-making, do vastly better for himself and his family as a private citizen. MliS. I). Y.

It is an undisputed fact that th dura bility of the White Sewing Machine is sustained by a written warranty far Ave years. It is a progressive fact that the White embodies the most practical aud useful improvements of other sewing machines, together with advantages peculiarly its own. It is a money-making fact that the Wnite is the easiest-selling selling ma chine in the market, and therefore all wide-awake dealers make it their specialty. if is a gratifying fact that the White gives universal satisfaction, and that it is steadily and rapidly increasing In public favor.
