Energy aud Perseverance,.

Twin brothers. The shears Of fortune
without the either half Of which the other is
worthless. A man may possess perseverance
IA sort of stubborn iniiexibility that is hard
Iy worthy the name of perseverance unless
spurred on by energy,) but he will never ac-
complish anything and even after he has de-
termined the object of his pursuit, he will
loiter along the way until death overtakes
him. and the object Of his life is lost to view.
But the ,:.an who combines both attri-
butes, and is also endowed with integrity and
understanding, is sure to leave his mark up
on the world. Energy and perseverance are
the motive power that drives him on, and in
genuity and understanding the rudder to steer
him in the right direction. Such man was
he who first taught the steam to be the slave
of man. Such was he, who, Prometheus of
old, sna' ched the fires from Heaven, and
trained them to perform the work of post
horses ON earth.
Perseverance, whispered $50 on" Ener-
gy shouted "Go on with all thy might = and
ingenuity added "I'll guide thee Alright" The
first attempt was failure, and fools laughed.
The second attempt was failure, and friends
deserted; but energy was unquenched and
perseverance undaunted. Alone, mid pov-
erty and scorn, he toiled, though years pass
ed away, they saw not the fruits Of their la
Dor. yet still toilcd they on. And the fruits
came at last, harvest of immortality. Would
you know the result? Look at that painting
locomotive, dashing like lightning through
the hills and over plains. Look at the proud
storm-defying steamer, as she breasts the
waves of the Atlantic, and sure as fate itself
aims for her destined harbor. Mark the pull
sations of the electric wire, as it sends thrill
Of JOY or sorrow to the remotest section Of
the civilized world.

Good HulnOr.

There is nothing so captivating to others,
pleasing an l salatary to ourselves, as invaria-
BILE good humor and harmless pleasantry.-
1t makes the very atmosphere redolent with
pleasure, and promotes our bodily comfort
and health in manner fully unknown to dry,
trenclant "maids"o of fifty, and moTose 'bach-
elors" on the wrong side of forty. The good
natured individual, with jocoseness, passes
through this mundane planet agreeable to
himself and his misunderstanding his path
with a fund of wit and humOr, and exercising
a beneficial acquaintance by setting the good
example of ''taking tine world easy" and ex
citing their risbles at times very unceremoni-
ously. The natural consequence is that such
a malady as the blues is to him unheard Of
Lean, screwed up visages, with MONEY
written on every wrinkle, give way to the
ioyial countenance OF mirth-the roguish
twinkling eye, and substantial form of more
tina ordinary rotundity. The habit of being
nleass ut is contagious, and not only makes US
sheaIthy, wealthy and wise,' but iengthens
our lives by promoting digestion and prevent
ing the disctmposement of our mental eqnil'o-
rum, and pro, ,luces The same result in others,
which should be a sufficient incentive for US
to keep continually in a spirit OF jov'allty' ana
in that msnner denote the truth OF the popu,,
lar adage that "Good Humor is the VINE OF
life."

Suicide of a Homeopathic Physician.

DR.. Joseph T. Curtia, distinguished ho-
meopathic physician residing at No. 40, East
Twentieth street, committed suicide about
o'clock yesterday morning. He was man
much esteemed in his profession, student of
Graunn, and one of the first who practlced
on the Hahnnematic theory in this city. He
enjoyed large practice, though he never
learned to charse heavily enough to reap as
large harvest of fees as many whose prac-
tice is much smaller. He was great me-
chanican, and his genius in that line, by the
invention of the Automatic Triturator, which
cunningly would grind powder to precisely
the tenuity desired, and stop at the po'nt set,
disarmed allopaths of one OF their most
plausible objections-that no human arm
could ever secure the trituratiOns necessary
for an orthodox Hannemanic recipe. Lat
terly he had devoted much time to the con-
struction of sewing machine, which gives
the needle precisely the movement that the
hand gives it-successfulIy working button
holes and eyelets with it, model of this
curious contrivance was exhibited in tie late
Crystal Palace F ir He had become 30
much interested in some improvements upon
it that for foar or five nights past he di not
sleep at all. On Thursday, though still about
lie showed evidences Of arrangement yes.
terday he clapped the mn:zle Of loaded pis.
tol to his site, directly over the heart, fir ed
and fell, diving almost instantly. The coron.
er was npti!ied.-.N. Y. Times, 14M.

fleet, that in no event can the minority sue
cessfully determine the question permanently,
and in no contingency will Congress admit
Kansas as slave or as free State, unless
majority of the people of Kansas shall first
have fairly and freely decided this question
for themselves, by a direct cote on the a'lopt!on
of the Constitution, excluding all fraud or vio-
lence.
The minority in resisting the will OF the
majority may involve Kansas again in civil
war; they bring upon her reproach and oblo-
guy, and destroy her progress and prosperl-
ty they may keep her for years out OF the
Union, and, in the whirlwind of asitation
sweep away the government itself, but Kan
sas never can be brought into the Union
with or without slavery, except by prevl-
Gus solemn decision fully, freely and fairly
made by majority of her people in voting
for or against the adoption of the State Con-
stitutiOn."
Because having thus committed himself,
his administration, and his appointees, 20 the
doctrine of the absolute right of the people
of Kansas to determine by a direct vote on
the adoption of their Constitution, without
fraud or violence, what should be the char
acter of their domestic institutions and their
supreme law, the President can not retrace
his steps without becoming traitor to tie
cause of justice and good government, nor
without bringing infamy upon himself and
humiliation and disgrace upon the party
which elevated him to power,

ssSpcc cculatfOn,' Viewed in q Sensibie
light.

One would think, to hear the great body
of the people talk, that it is wicked to be
rich, and sin to buy and sell property. If
a discrimination were made between those
who love and hoard money, or employ it to
injure their fellow beings, and those who em-
p,oy it honestly in legitimate business or
in the purchase oil property between those
whose dealings are open and fair, and those
who practice deception and fraud, it might be
suffered without remark but to class all
these parties together, and stigmatize them
as "sharks," and 'speculators," is ungrateful
and wicked. No portion Of the community
are so deserving Of respect and admiration as
those who have laid ont their fortunes in
building up all our towns and cities. Be-
cause in many cases their foresight and cap
ital have enabled them to build up town, by
which they have realized handsome fo tunes,
are they to be censured? What motive is
left to the active energy of our wealthy men,
if not to lay out great purposes, and carry
them through successfully, and partake OF
the pro- perity.
What would St. Paul be without the
be lavishly squandcred, but which have given
it name and fame as ono of the great cities
of the West? Where would be the rising
greatness Of St. Anthony and Minneapolis il
their dormant energies had not been infused
with life by the money Of those comprehen-
sive minds who are making those twin cities
the manufacturing centre OF the Northwest?
And in the large and small towns, where
thousands of mechanics aud others have
grown wealthy by their adroit management
Of ready means TO start the course of busi-
ness and settlements around them, have they
made themselves liable to censure by 50
doing? In every matter that has tended to
dfiusc life, energy, ard happiness throughout
the Territory, have not the influence and
gold of our men of aftiuencc been freely en-
ployed? We might 90 On and cite instan.
ces to show that we are dependent on this
powerful class Of men to develope all tfe la
tent powers we possess to bring US to a res
pectable standard as a State and withou'
their agency we might remain in wider
ness state for century .-Niainger Journal.

Minnesota Crops.

We take the following from the Lake City
Tribune, as q specimen of our Minnesota
crops.
Wn1rE BEaNs.-1t is thought by many
that the soil Of Minnesota generally Is too
rich for white beans-that they run to vines
aud blows only. Mr.. +. z. G. Fowler, who
resides some eight mics back of the Lake,
gives US the following data He planted
seventeen quarts Of beans on the richest kind
of soil. There was an immense growth of
vines, which continued to blossom up to the
harvest. He cleaned up twenty-six bushels
of splendid beans, throwing out everything
imperfect. Here, then, is yield OF more
than bushel and Lalf to every quart OF
seed-no contemplate growth, surely.
PorAToEs.-Mnnes produces this veg
etsble in perfection. Owing to the unusually
cold and wet weather of the last season, the
potatoe has rotted here to some extent. We
have heard of several pieces yielding four
hundred bushels per acre, and this we think
is only fair yield with due cultivation. As
an example Of large growth, we give the fol-
lowing Mr.. S. B. Smith, Of Lake City,
planted June lst, single small potato of
ue" variety, Which yiciuCu oiA'J II" h""."SA
the whole weighing twenty-five pounds
the largest single ones about one pound each.
Our neighbor, DR.. G. D. Villas. grew piece
of potatoes, the vines of which averaged six
and half feet in length, with large and
corresponding growth o! tubers.
TOMATOES grow here in greatest abund
ance. A single specimen was handed us by
Mr.. NJ. Starr, which weighed within trifle
of two pounds. 1t fell from the vine before
it was fully ripe.
ONIONS are among the vegetables which
luxurate in our soil. Mr.. E. Palmer sowed a
piece broadcast-gave it no cultivation what
ever. The yield was very large. Several
specimens measured l34 inches in circun-
terence.
SQUAsHEs.-Nlr Fred. Mack, of the City
Hotel, gathered, as the product of two seeds,
planted June TIA, 558 lbs OF sqnashes. The
number seven-.limensions as follows The
largest weighed l39 lbs; circumference the
longest way, 6 feet 10 inches shortest way,
5 feet inches. The second in size weighed
l2l lbs; circumference, feet inches, and
5 feet inches. Third, 81 lbs; fourth, 60
lbs; fifth, so lbs.; sixth, Al lbs; seventh and
eighth, 50 lbs. each. Total, 55S lbs.

Wisconsin Election.

Weg give this morning, official or reported
returns from every county in the State
in which an election was held on the Sd
inst. Of these, all but four are Of
fetal, and the reported result of these four
are doubtless nearly accurate. Our figures
put Judge Randall upwards Of 500 votes
ahead on the official canvass, and 200 ahead
including the disputed returns from Jefferson,
and not i, cluding the votes Of several reject
ed towns which gave Republican majorities.
It is therefore, We think, perfectly safe to as
sumo that Alexander w. Randall is the Gov
ernor elect of this State. The Republicans
have also elected the State Prison Commits
sioner, McGraw, and probably the Treasurer,
Mr.. Hastings. The vote on Lieut.. Govern
or is very close. The Democrats have doubt
less elected their candidates for the other
State oftices.-IMN. Sent. 2lst.

REVOLVING SPEcTAcLE.-Thec city of Rich

REVOLVING SpEcTACLE-The city of Rich.
mond in Virginia, as our readers are aware, is
delightfully."- situated, and is one of the most
beautiful cities in the Southern States. 1t is
the capital Of Virginia, and boasts of its
wealth, refinement and intelligence. Rich
mond is one of the largest slave markets in
the u tied States. Men, women and children
are sold to the highest bidder, to the amount
of millions of money every year. Every
week this hOrrd traffic is carried on, separa
ting families, and filling many habitations of
the poor and oppressed with indiscriminate
anguish. A slave mart is dreadful sight !;
once seen, the impression Of it will never be
forgotten. But there is place in Richmond
more revolving even than this. 1t is the rail
road depot the morning after sale, when
the miserable slaves who are to be sent South
are brought together to take their departure
The friends of the poor creatures, the fathers
aud m theirs, brothers and sisters, aunts, couS-
ins, &c, come down to bid them final fare
well. If a man has any scnsibii1ies, they
will be thoroughly moved, as the cries and
groans and waiiings Of these slaves fill the air.
This occurs every week. sometimes nearly
every day in the week-LoeeU Courier.

rront the n. y Herald:
Issue OF the Mormon War.

= = We see now
that Brigham Young is really in earnest, and
that his programme is desperate struggle to
maintain his dictatorship and his polygamy.
We have been led to believe, from his speech
es and his movements that he expects to be
Il lie to beat back the present army expedi-
tlOEs Of tue Government that by the next
spring he roposes to organize all Mormon
dom into movable can p, and, with the ap
proach of an army force which cannot be re
sisted, his plan will most probably be to G
vacuate Utah with the whole Mormon COM
munity, burning or destroying everything in
their retreat which they cannot carry away.
From his tour of exploration last sprilg, the
Mormon prophet will thus, perhaps, move
northward, across Oregon and Washington
Territories into the British Possessions, to
try the hospitality Of Queen Victoria. 1t is
certain, at all events, that Brigham Young is
fully aware of the extreme folly of attempt
ing to maintain by arms his occupation of
Utah against the United States Government.
Accordingly, we think it is a safe conclusion
that his scheme is to beat back the present
government expedition and to evac ate Utah
in an Israelltlsh exodus, or by peaceable
dispersion of the Saints in the Spring, to be
collected together again at some new Canaan,
as their means and facilities may permit.
In this light We consider this intelligence
of the capture of the government army trains
as good news. II reduces this Mormon q1es-
ton to an easy and simple solution The
chief and his whole gang of pestilent polyg
amists have chosen the alternative of rebel
lion. They must now prepare to submit to
the strong hand, or to move their camp be-
yond the limits of the United States. We
have no doubt they have made up their minds
to repel the first government expedition, and
to prepare for complete evacuation against
the approach Of another There is no longer
any peace or security for them and their adul-
terous and ineestuous habits in Utah. They
are fully convinced of this and the policy of
the administration henceforth should be that
active military policy which will most spec
dily operate to relieve the country of the nu-
sance Of Mormonism without the effusion of
blood. Give Brigham Young and his chief
conspirators no promise of mercy but leave
every avenune open for their peaceable re-
treat to some other part of the world, and let
them 60. Should they pass over into the
dcminions of Victoria let them go-for the
most of them will thus be returning 10 their
first allegiance. This news from the Sweet
Water is good news, as it indicates an early
removal of the Mormons beyond our boun.
daries.
