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.

FEW W ACTS
in regard to Ihc
White
Sewing
Machine.
It is an 'acknowledged fact that tlw
White Sewing Machine new stands pre
eminent among lirst-class machines, for
its simplicity and light-running qualities.
It is a mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all its wearing parts ar# adjustable,
so that lost motion can be "taken up" in
an instant.
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.
CAUTION.
, Do nt he Imposed upon by agents and parties
who are interested in the purchase and sale ef other
machines. It has become a common trick for un
scrupulous competitors to get a White machine and
put it in bad order so that they might prejudice pur
chasers against it and in favor of their ewn machines.
To guard against such contemptible trickery, wo
advise all intending purchasers to correspond with
us direct, and we will take pleasure in giving them
the address of a regular authorized dealer for tho
"White" in their county, or we will effort* sell
them a machine direct at special prices, and guaran
tee satisfaction in every respect.
