SefReliance.

Insist on yourself; never initiate
Your own gift you can present every mo-
ment with the cumulative force of a
whole life's cultivation but of the adopt
ed talent OF another, you have only an
extempoIaneous, half-possession. That
which can do best, none but his maker
can teach him. No man yet knows what
it is, nor can, till that person has exhibit
ed it. Where is the master who could
have TAUGHT Shakespeare ? Every great
man is unique. The Scipionism of Scipio
is precisely that part he could not borrow.
If anybody will tell me whom the great
man initiates in the original crisis when he
performs great act, l will tell him who
else than himself can teach him. Shaks-
pear will never be made by the study OF
Shakespeare. Do that which is assigned
thee, and thou canst not hope too much,
or dare too much. There is at this mo-
ment, there is for me an utterance bare
and grand as that ofthe colossal chisel Of
Phidias, or trowel of the Egyptians, or the
pen of Moses, or Dante, but different from
all these. Not possibly will the soul all
rich, all eloquent, with thousand-cloven
tongue, deign to repeat itself; but if I can
hear what these patriarchs say, surely car
reply to them in the same pitch of voice
for the ear and tongue are two organs o.
one nature. Dwell up there in the simple
noble regions of thy life, obey thy heart
and thou shalt produce the Foreworld
again.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Electric Illumination.

Some attempts made at Paris towards
illuminating the bottom beneath water,
possess considerable interest in a scien-
tifc point ofview. The electrodes Of car
bon were placed in a glass globe, being
connected with one of M. Duboseg's reg
ulAtors, which communicated with the
battery by a copper wire covered with
gutta- percha The globe, submerged to q
depth of five meters, spread light over q
circumference of about ten meters radius,
and it remained constant for two hours,
after which the carbon required re-
placing.
Duboseg's arrangement is light, so that
the diver may carry it in his hand and
we'll secured hermetically to resist &
pressure of fifty to sixty metres of salt
water. 1t consists of a cylinder of strong
glass, secured to brass foot and sur
rounded with gutta percha sac. The
light passes out through plano-conve1
lens, the convexity inward, the focus be-
ing so arranged that the rays escape near
" parallel. As the lamp is movable, The
diver walks about with it and places i
where he wishes to make any search
and, as it is only necessary to bring th'
electrodes near one another to light it, thu
diver need only turn small screw to con
tinue the light for two hours, which i
more than twice as long as he can remain
at the bottom.

Wisconsin Money

We warn our readers against the panic,
which has been partially raised in regard
to Wisconsin money, for there is no State
in the Union, whose currency is safer, and
more valuable. For every dollar of issue,
troller, and if bank refuses to redeem,
even to the last dollar, the stocks are at
once sold, and the claims of bill-holders
liquidated.
There is no hypothesis upon hich this
panic can be based reasonably, save the
repudiation of their stocks by several of
the States.
We feel a sensation of admiration and
wonder at the nice moral sense of those
cautious and discriminating brokers of
Chicago, who have taken the response
bility of discrediting a large portion of
the currency of a neighboring State be-
cause, forsooth, they feared the public
might suffer because the banks were be-
yond the present reach of railroads. We
venture the prediction, that there is not
one of those philanthropic Shylocks, who
has not at some time been engaged in
foisting some Georgia, Nebraska, or other
worthless and shin plaster currency upon
the public, and even now we are hall
inclined to the opinion, that they have
now some rag of their own, with which
they propose to supplant this Wiscon-
sin currency. In addition to this, they
hope to realize comfortable percentage
in buying up this sound but discredited
currency.
The public owe it to their own safety
to counteract this dirty scheme, how great
soever may be the temporary inconve'
nience. Teach the "bulls and bears,
who propose to discredit by their auto
cratic decree the circulation Of sound anC
reliable banks, that there is power highe
than they.
Again we say, there is no safer currenc!
in circulation in Kansas, than that o
Wisconsin, and further, there is not th'
slightest difference between those bank
thrown out, and those not. The bills o
all are secured in one, and the same man
ner No man can have better substitut
for gold in his pocket than a Wisconsin
bill -LeaUenuorth Journal.

Time.

What blessed order of nature it is,
that the footsteps of time are inaudible
and noiseless, and that the seasons OF life,
like those of the year, are so indistinguish-
ably brought on in gentle progression, and
are so blended the one with the other, that
the human being scarcely knows, except
from faint and not unpleasant sensation,
that he is growing old
So day steals into night through the
crimson curtains of twilight So the
golden gates of dawn swing round noise
less as the portals of Heaven. Even the
beat Of the heart is muffled, that we may
not know how fast it struggles out
From the building of the oak to the roll
ing of the world, there is no click of the
machinery. There is no noise save ol
helpless waves, or the rent air groaning
with the lightning's bolt or now and ther
the play of volcanoes valves, or the
puny cries of insects or of men, in all
this world of ours. The past is dumb
tho future silent, and the present makes
but slight ripple, like the trailing Of 6
steamer on quiet sea.

The Wilkesbare (Pa-) Record says: :
On Wednesday last, we saw one of the
greatest natural curiosities of the coal
field, while attending some ladies on a
visit to the Baltimore coal mines, near the
borough. 1t will be remembered that
ten or twelve acres of the mine which had
been worked, fell in a year or two ago,
crushing the pillars left for support, and
filling that portion with rock and slate
from the roof. Through these masses of
rock the superintendent of the mines,
MIR. Frederick Landmesser, has explored
and discovered the remains of a forest of
trees which had been embedded in the
slate rock above the large vein, fragments
of which, by the fall, had been detached,
and now lie in confusion-stumps, roots,
limbs, and impressions of bark in the
mine. Among the curiosities are two
huge stumps, as perfect as if drawn from
the earth by stump machine, the roots
cut off where they had entered the ground,
and the surface looking as if the bark had
been taken off while the sap was run
ming. In the rock above can be traced
the ends of the logs from which the
stumps have fallen, and in one place the
body of the tree protrudes, the surface
presenting the impression of bark.

npnn,t Give un tha shin.n

While mighty efforts are being made all
over the broad expanse of Kansas, to Or
ganize the Republican party, and also a
conservative Democratic party, we have a
word to say to the true lovers of freedom
and progress. When you came to Kansas,
you laid aside your former and old fogy
political predictions, linked your destiny
with that of the Free State party of Kan
sas, and Joined in the crusade of freedom.
With and for that party you have fought
the good fight, and now can claim the VIC
tors wreath. If the principles and policy
of the Free State party have been such as
you could stand by and battle for through
such crusade as it has passed in Kansas,
we would in all candor ask, are they not
such as you are now willing to maintain
Let the unsettled elements of old fogy
Republicanism and Democracy organize
their respective parties, and follow after
their old and obsolete gods-there yet
remains enough of the true metal in the
Free State party to meet and defeat their
puny and mad Vaccinations.
By a thorough organization of the Free
State party, it can marshal an array that
no separated, nor even combined, parties
in Kansas can confront. Let not the wild
hallucination of the fevered brain of Office
seeking aspirants lead you astray. You
know what the old parties are, and you
know what the Free State party is-you
have tried them; manifest your good
sense by yet maintaining the right. There
is an absolute necessity for it. If Kansa.
is free, her government is yet to form, anc
its formation is of the greatest importance
| What will freedom in name avail you, i
you permit the government to go into tn,
hands of those who will trammel and en-
thrall you? Forsake the Free State party
and such is the inevitable result. We ash
you Free State men who have used tn,
party as an effective means and accom-
plished so much, if you now think it il
worn out and can be used no longer P
You certainly do not. 1t is not of sucl
material as so soon to become useless
1t is tempered to the necessity of tn
times and occasion, and we know it is tn
only effective party that can be used il
Kansas. There is yet need of it, and W
will preserve it, knowing its value an
feeling the necessity of its preservation

Public Lands in Kansas.

The President has, as we have already
notified the public, directed the with
drawal of all the lands offered for sale in
Nebraska Territory, and it is announced
that no sales would take place for a year.
The good policy of this order cannot be
questioned. 1t grows out of considera-
tions connected with the ability of the
people of the Territory to pay for their
lands. They cannot do it. There is no
money there to do it, and if the sales had
gone on they would have been placed at
the mercy of sharpers and spectators,
who would have either loaned the money
or land warrants at enormous rates OF
interest, or they would have bought the
lands over the heads of the honest set
tiers. The sharpers were there to engage
in this business, but the action of the
Government has nipped the speculation
in the bud, and twelve months are allowed
to actual settlers in which to prepare for
this sale.
So it ought to be in Kansas. The
lands in that Territory ought 10 be with
drawn from market. The same argu.
HAOneo hulCn hcic uCtucu SOOu III lue
case of Nebraska will apply with equal
force to Kansas. There is as great a
scarcity of money in that Territory as in
Nebraska. Men who want to make per.
manent Improvements, to settle In the
| Territory aud make homes for themselves
in many instances, have not the money tc
pay for them. In twelve months they
may get the money, and this is certain tC
be the case in the present peaceable con.
dition of affairs there. At all events
they ought to have the chance of securing
their homes by this moderate delay. TIL,
Government will not lose anything by it
for persons are already in the neighbor
hood Of the Land Offices, with land war
rants sufficient to sweep all the good lant
in the Territory. No money, or yer,
little, will be used in the entry or pur
chase of lands. and the only effect of per
sisting in the sales this fall, will be +
throw all those who desire to becom
actual settlers, into the hands of none,
Lenders and owners of land warrants, t
whom extraordinary rates of interest vii
have to be paid for the assistance thu
rendered.
We hope the President will take thes
suggestions into consideration, and fave
the people of Kansas as much as he ma
think he will be justified by all the fac
of the case.-S. Louis Republican.
