GOOD ADVICE TO YOUNG
WOMEN.

TRUST not 70 uncertain riches, but
prepare yourselves for every emer-
gency in life. Learn 10 work, and be
not dependent on servants to make
your bread, sweep your floors and darn
your stockings. Above all, do not es-
TEEN too lightly those honorable young
men who sustain themselves and their
aged parents BY the work of their own
hands while you caress andreceive in
TO your company these lazy,idlc popin-
jays, who never lift d finger TO help
themselves As long as they can keep
body and soul together, and ret funds
sufficient to live in fashion. If YOU
are wise, you will look at this subject
i'm the light We do, and when you are
old enough to become wives, YOU will
prefer the honest mechanic, with not
d cent to commence life, to the fash
ionable loafer, with q. capital of ten.
thousand dollars Whenever we hear
remarked, .Such q young lady mar
.ried q fortune, we always tremble for
her future prosperity. Riches left to
children BY wealthy parents turn out to.
be curse instead OF blessing.
Young women, remember this, and IN
stead of sounding the purse OF your
lovers, and examining the cut Of their
coats, look into their habits and their
hearts. Mark il they have trade,
and can depend upon themselves soc
that they have minds which will lead
them to- look above d butterfly exis-
tence. Talk not of the beautiful white
skin and soft, delicate hand, tile
splendid form and fine appearance Of
the young gentlemen. Let not these
foolish considerations engross your
thoughts.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH
TIE BOYS? ......

THEY are growing rapidly, some Of
them have already the deep voice of
their Fastening manhood; q decision as
to their future calling should soon be
made. This is too serious d matter to
leave to mere chance. Too many boys
have been put to q particular trade OF
business merely because when old
enough to do something for them
selves, d Vacancy occurred in that bu-
siness, and nothing else offering at the
time, the place was taken. Too often,
they have been like stones thrown into.
a wall without being fitted 70 q place;
they have rested uneasily, s'rolleP'
frequently, and gathered very little
s.moss. Rather let the boys dispo-s
sition be studied, see for what he is
best adapted, and let that be his cali
ing. 4. = .z..5 i. Z. a

life, z and during ten months that the
model remained in the Patent Office,
it never once stopped TO breathe. The
inventor had perfected two new ma
chimes, and made q very comfortable
exhibiting them, prosecuting
his efforts meanwhile to secure his
patent, intending to apply the power to
clock-work for which It is peculiarly
we'll adapted. Age crept upon him,
however, before this point was reached
his highest art could not make his
heart beatings perpetual; and last
Saturday afternoon he breathed his
last, in the old homestead at Freehold.
He had been 50 much prosecuted BY
the incredulous that he had provided d
secret place beneath the hoor Of his
shop, where his last two machines we're
deposited. Il was in the form of d
vault, covered by trap-door, which
was locked, and the floor SO replaced
as to avoid suspicion. After his last
illness commenced, he made known this
secret to his family, who examined the.
spot carefully, and found the contents
exactly as described. The night after
his death, the shop was broken open,
the floor taken up, the trap-door pried
of, and both models stolen, Ii Is
probable that the family in their visit
had not taken the same precaution as
the inventor, and some prying eyes
discovered the secret. Fortunately the
drawings are preserved, and there IS d
little machine, one Of the earIiestmade,
now running in Brooklyn, where ii has.

PROCLAMATION.

10 tle People of Wesiern Ufah, included
ipithin ne boundaries of he proposed
Territory Of Nepada. .s
n HAVING been duly elected BY You as
Executive Of the Provisional Territorial
Government Of Nevada Territory, and
deeming it my duty TO address you up
on.the subject of our separation from
the curse OF Mormon Legislation, I
| present to you my reasons why. an
organization Oh the Provisional Gov
eminent, would, at the present time, Be
impolitic.
Atthe time we were compelled to
assemble, in our sovereign capacity, 10
endeayor to rid ourselves Of the Theo-
cratic rule OF Mormonism, We had no
protection for life, limb or property.
We had in vain petitioned Congress
for relief against the unjust and illegal
attempts OF Mormons TO force upon us
laws and customs obnoxious to every
1 American. We had no Courts, NO
/ County organizations, save those con-
/ trolled by the sworn satellites Of the
Salt Lake 0ligarchy. dur political
rights were entirely at the will OF q
certain clique, composed OF those who
were opposed TO the first principle OF
our Consultation, ssthe freedom Of the
Iballot-box. .s.s
Under these circumstances, We en-
ldeayored to relieve ourselves from
these impositions, and believing that .
Provisional Territorial Government
would best assure rs protection to life,
limb and property held our election
land made all necessary arrangements
for the formation OF q temporary Cow
Eernment, until Congress should give us
Justice and protection.
Since our election, we have been de-
tpriyed, by adispensation OF Providence,
OF our esteemed Delegate to Congress,
i james NJ. Crane, whose whole energies
were devoted to the best interests OF
our people, and who carried with him
to the grave the klndest wishes OF us
Iall, and who should have inscribed upon

PERPETUAL MOTION.

SON had made after patient waiting
for forty years, was brought into our.
Office, and we found that it would 90
without any impulse from without, and
would not stop unless it was block
ed. The power was self-contain-
ed and self-adjasted, and gave
q sufficient force to carry ordinary
clock-work without any winding up or
replenishing. In short, We saw no.
reason why il would not 90 until il was

Onr amiablc Black Republican cotem.
poraries are chuckling with unusual
gusto over the prospect OF split in the

Cincinnati Commercial for instance
can scarcely contain themselves for Joy.
Every day that paper contains startling
headlines predicting the immediate dis
solution Of the Democracy, after writing
which the editor doubtless throws up his

est in what they do; they know that
great events depend upon their action !;
that the fate Of Republican institutions
rests upon their descisions and it is
natural that great connections should
result from the meeting and settlement
of conflicting opinions on questions Of
such vital importance. 1t is also natur-
al that the Republicans, who have no
principles and no prospect Of success,
should meet and adjourn without getting
up row among themselves or an ex-
element among the people. The ankle
ty Of the public mind in relation to
affairs at Charleston is an evidence of
the importance attached to every move
ment OF the Democracy, and shows that
now, more than ever, that organization
is indispensable to the Union. Again,
we suggest to the jubilant Republicans
to be more moderate in their Civilizations
now, and they will be less ridiculc us when
the denouement transpires. The De-
mocracy Of the Union is not to be dis.

1t does not break; and when the storm
passes away it rebounds to its natural

Ky. Democrat, edited by John p. Har-
ris0n, Esq, contains an article head ed
"a Strange Discovery" The "discove-
ry" was brought about by Mr. X. A. NJ.
Cell driving steel ramrod into the
ground while hunting on the Kentucky
hills, ranging the river below Loudlow,
and imagining as he drove his rod down
he heard it strike on something metallic,
which inpuced him to take stick and
remove the ground which was soft aud
Ioamy His companion, Charles Porah,
Of Covingtop, (Mr. Cell being from Gin
cinnati,) came up and assisted him. At
the depth Of two feet they came upon a
tin box twelve inches long by seven wide
and five deep. They forced the lid,
which was fastened with brass lock.
Upon opening the box they found a
package cnveloped in a Cincinnati
Gazette" Of September 8, 1887, tied
well with dark string. The contents
of this package consisted of three letters
or documents, in CIPHER, for transfers or
conveyances of property, (though all
disconnected, pair Of five fine spects-
cles, small oval gold plate or charm
with various devices engraved thereon,
among which was a hand holding a
dagger, with the point down, and a
fame issuing from the handle, with the
letters S. O. W. l. X. arranged in a cir
Gle, also a slip Of dingy, discolored pa
per, written all over with mysterious cy-
piers. This package did not occupy but
a portion Of the box. A further exam
nation richly rewarded them. Four
hundred and sixteen dollars in American
and English gold, 81 Spanish and Unit
ed States whole silver dollars, 4 COLE and
nine silver watches, 20 small steel keys,
Masonic and other jeweIry, among
which are two things which are as yet
kept private. A pair of finely fin
ished Derringer pistols finished the in
ventOry.
Since she foregoing transpired, which
was on Tuesday OF last week, Mr.. Black
burn of Covington,in the name of his un-
Gle, who was murdered about the time the
Murrel gang infested the neighborhood,
claims the treasure. And Col. George
Dudley, of Third street, Covington,
makes the sans claim in the name of
friend at present in New York, and was
robbed at that time. One of the rob-
bers was arrested in New Orleans, aud
halt the property found in his posses

Of the booty opposite, or near Cincinna-

Thus may Senator Douglas we'll ex-
claim in view ofthe result of the Charles
ton Convention.
1t has turned out precisely as We pre-
dicted. The violent abuse of the Ad-
ministration and OF eminent and long
tried Democrats, by the friends and re-
puted organs of our Senator, has react
ed upon him. His nomination at
Charleston would have been certain had
it not been for thi.. He may thank
Forney's Press, the Cleveland Plain
dealer, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
certain other newspapers 10 this State
and elsewhere, for the present state Of
things. Had it not been for them, and
the Ill eeling stirred up by their intern
perate zeal, the name Of Stephen A.
Douglas wonld now be flying at the
head Of every Democratic paper in the
Union, a. the Democratic nominee for
President Of the United States.
Unfortunately for the favorite states
man OF Illinois and the Democratic par
ty, there has been too much vindictive-
ness aud arrogance displayed by those
supposed to be his immediate friends.
Covode and his iniquitons conspirators
have been almost equalled by them in
illuminating and vilifying the Presi-
dent and those who sustained the Ad-
mlnistration. We do not believe that
M. Douglas approved of his course on
the part Of his friends, yet it has done
him much harm and we hope he will
act himself right on the question before
the convention meets again. Let him
dissvow the dissentious course OF por-
ton Of his Northern supporters, and
stand before the convention on his own
meri:s-not as the avowed enemy of
any portion of the Democratic party
but as the representative Of the whole
party, and his nomination will be the re.
suit.
The present quarrel in the Democrat
10 party is without Just foundation. The
difference amongst Democrats respecting
slavery in the Territories, in our view,
amounts to just nothing. Mr.. Douglas
and his friends are willing to leave the
question to the Supreme Court, aud we
cannot see why this should not be salts
factory to National Democrats every
where.
1t is perfectly suicidal for Democrats
to keep up quarrel on mere abstrac-
ton. While Democrats are entitled to
personal preferences, and should urge
them on all proper occasions, still they
should ever be ready to yield to the
higher claims Of principles and party. If
little more OF this spirit would be ex-
hibited by the friends ofMr. Douglas at
the approaching Convention at Balti-
more, than there was at Charleston, he
would be more certain Of success.
In conclusion, We repeat that those
men who join in maligning and abusing
the Administration and those Demo-
carts who coincide with its policy, arc
the worst enemies Mr.. Douglas has
However, Notwithstanding the violent
and silly course of some Ofhis friends, we
have faith that he will yet be chosen as
our standard-bearer and lead our united
forces to victory.-Joliet Signal.
