For long, long time Mr.. Disraeli was unable 10
obtain hearing in the House. AT length he
changed his tactics; he gave up logic and took 10
sarcasm. He also wrote out and studied his
speeches.; and one fine evening be came out Will,

in catching the Speakers eye ut least once out Of

qusr, during the brief period Of the Derby minis
try, he did not succeed in obtaining that respect
for his financial sagacty which the House seems
to be disposed to pay to his brilliant and keen par-
casms. He is now reported to have resumed his
labors az novelist, and anew work, entitled Bo-
ling Broke, is announced as Forthcoming from his
pen.
Mr.. Disraeli is in bis fifty. first year. In person
he is tall rather thin, with Jewish cast Of faa-
lures, dark countenance, and heavy, full, swjif-
ming eyes, bent either in meditation or vacancy
He dresses fashily-affccts superb waistcoats, has
plenty ofjewelry about his person--and does not
look altogether "the gentleman" He seems
jew to his very fnger-nails, mosaic to his watch
chain. His long black cork-scrcw curls are kept
in admirable order; and one Of the signs Of dis
position on his part to rise and address the House.
is sort of nervous arrangement Of those :" luxu-
riant rnglets" first with one hand--then with the
other. His attitudes, as he speaks are not ganly;
sometimes he puts his arms akimbo--sometimes
he places his thumbs In the arm-holes of his waist
coat. When he reaches what he means TO be
telling or effective part in his Grafton, he makes
kind of bow--and pauses this Is signal for his
friends TO applaud. He always writes out bis

How TO succErD.--A correspondent out wcst
thus writes of a character he has met. The lesson
inculcated by the history Of the man is one which
cornmends itself TO every person who would sue

On small Mississippi steamer met very diff
ferent character. he was native OF an Eastern
State, and had gone West to make his fortune.
While our boat was tied to the bank for an hour
he gave me account Of the course he has FOL-,
lowed and the dificnlties he has contended with.
He started for the West with q small sum OF ino-
ney and the blacksmith trade. He went down the
Ohio as a steerage passenger reached St Louis,
thence up the Illinois till his money had failed.
lie stopped and worked TO get his purse recruited
TO reach friends house. There he worked
month TO pay man for bringing chest from tho
Illinois river. Finally he reached Chicago got
contract on the Illinois and Wisconsin Canal wna
getting rich, when Illinois scrip made him poorer,
than when ho began Then the chills and fever
laid him up for year. Let this suffice as a spe-
omen, . 1e Hs
At last he returned TO Chicago, bought enough
boards on credit TO make blacksmith shop by
sticking the ends Ia the ground and bringing The
tops together. In this he began to make poughs
which bis hther.in-law had rented. From that
time he has gone steadily forward, until HE car
factorics cover the principal parts Of two squares
in the city, which be purchased, one Tor sonetf-
teen hundred dollars aud the other for some six
thousand. The city is already far beyond him, and,
BY the rise property alone he is rich, while his
factories are bringing him fine revenue
He had accomplished his object, but concluded
his narrative by saying, that had he life to begin
again, and he "knew that by enduring all he had
endured he could attain the same wealth, rather
than undergo the hardships, he would sacrifice the
prospective wealth, and be content with a me-
chanc's day wages I believed him, as looked
