SUCCESS IN LIFF.

Benjamin Franklin attributed his sue
cess as public man, not to his talents or
his powers of speaking-for these were
but moderate-but to his own integrity
of character. "Hence it was" he says,
shat | had so much weight with my fel-
low citizens. | was but poor speaker, never
eloquent subject to much hesitation in my
choice ofwords, hardly correct in language,
and yet l generally carried my point. -
Character creates confidence in men of
high station as we'll as In humble life
1t was said of the first Emperor Alexan-
der, of Russia, that his personal character
was equivalent to Constitution. During
the wars of the Fronde, Montaigne was
the only man amongst the French gentry
who kept his castle gates unbarred; and it
was said to him, that his personal charac-
ter was worth more to him than regi-
ment of horse. That character is power,
is true in much higher sense than that
kuowledgeis power. Mind without heart,
intelligence without conduct, cleverness
without goodness, are powers in their way,
but they may bepowers only for mischief.
We may be instructed or amused by them ;
but it is sometimes as difficult to admire
them as it would be to admire the dexter
ity of pickpocket or the horsemanship
of highwayman. Truthfulness, integri-
ty and goodness-qualities that hang not
on mans breath-form the essence Of man.
ly character, or as one of our old writers
has it "that inbred loyalty unto virtue
which can serve her without a livery
When Stephens of Colonna fell into the
hands of his assailants, and they asked
him, in derision, "where is your fortress! y
"Here," was the bold reply, placing his
hand upon his heart, 1t is in his misfor-
tune that the character of the upright
man shines forth with the greatest lustre;
and when all else fails, he takes a stand
upon his integrity and his courage.

One ofthe worst nuisances is the talker
who is always setting you right. If some
one says that 10000 men were killed In
some battle, do not tell him that it was on

statement in the freedom of easy talk, and

~ A MEXICAN ANEcDorE. y of the
New Orleans Delta, gives the following
good one: sThe people Of the capital had
been told that Americans eat children, and
all these pledgesof love had been removed.
Lieut. NJ, of the dragons, having heard
this story, aceosted man and asked him
if he knew where he could get "a n6cs fat
boy for supper adding that be was very
hungry" 81 ~ '-.arls
The astonished Mexican answered, with
a doIeful shake of the head, "5oy, no.
"Well,p said NJ, as I'm hungry, l amt
particular--let us have little girl then"
b. The poor man, still more horrifed, de-
clared that there were none of these IN the
village. - -,
NJ. then turned to. him and inquired,
''Well, show me market where can get
nice piece Of full-grown man. !"
This was too mneh for the Mexican, and
he took to his heels in the twinkling of a

SOUTHERN JUSTICE TO BLAcKs-A few
days ago negro woman was arrested by
E. R. Bond, justice of the peace in Shell
by CO., Tenn, on the complaint Of Ben. Boyd,
who charges her with an assault. The
chivalrous Ben testifes that Laura is in
his employment; that on certain day he
ordered her to go to work that sher
fused on account of Illness, and started to
fnd her husband. The rest, Mr.. Ben
Boyd shall tell in his own wordsii
Il started to intercept her and bring her back.
After few hundred yards run I overlook her;
took hold Of her. She struck me two blows
with her 6st. At this tins father came up, and
left her in his charge and crossed the fence to
cut limb TO fight with; returned and told her
if fighting was her hand to wade in, and she
would have a white man s chance. She refused
to fight any more, and | gave her sound
thrashing, and she returned to the house and
lay up for two days, when she left my house,
and applied to Squire Bond for warrant to
have her arrested. t
esquire Bond" fined the negro woman
two dollars and cost of court The case
is very mild one, but it serves to illus
trate the spirit which Presides over the un-
reconstructed Justices Courts, and the
need of the Civil Rights Law. e ~

TIMORE DELEGATIONS

AT the interview yesterday between the Pres
ident and the committee bearing the resolutions
OF the meeting held in Baltimore on Monday
evening last to sustain the policy of the Ad-
minisiration, Lieut.. Gov. Cox, of the State OF
maryland, presented the resolutions In a brief
and appropriate address, to which the Presi-
dent replied as follows:
81 can make no speech further than say my
pollcy Is before the country. II is not the re-
suit Of impulse, but the result of a conviction
that II is the principle upon which the Gov
ernment was founded. 1t is before the coun-
try, and IL Will continue to be. L say this to
give assurance that the Government will be
administered on that policy, and do not say
II menaclngIy. 1t is believed that the safety of
the Government rests upon these principles. i
am not insensible 10 the compliment YOU paw
me by this visit. That mans heart and mind
must indeed be barren not to be deeply i'm
pressed by such assurances OF the peoples
support This compliment is peculiarly graf
flying to me. believe that the country will
