General Iackson,s Motto.

"Think before you act, but when the
time for action comes, stop thinking"
This is the true doctrine. Many men
fail in life, and go down to the grave
with hopes blasted and prospects Of
happiness unrealized, because they did
not adopt and act upon this motto
Nothing so prepares a man for action
as thought; but nothing SO units a
man for action in the course of action.
Better by far adopt some course and
pursueit energetically, even though it
may not be the best, than to keep con-
tinually thinking without action. "Go
ahead'' ought to be printed in every
young mans hat, and read until it be.
comes part of his nature, until he
can act upon his own judgment, and
not be turned from his course by every
wind ofinterested advice. In c0nclu-
sion we would say, "Think before you
act but when the time for action
comes, stop thinking"

INTERESTING EPIDEMIC.-Recon-
struction seems to be going ahead with
a perfect rush in Louisiana. The pa
pers announced larger number of mar
rlages per month, than was before
known. The parsons will have their
hands full, and are making q good
thing out of it, fees ranging from five
dollars in greenbacks to five hundred
dollars, for the process of tying the
knot. The New Orleans Picayune,
alluding to this phenomenon, says -
Gentle Hymen follows closely upon
the heels of the grim-visaged Mars.

Who is Old.

A wise man will never rust out. AS
long as he can move and breathe, he
will do something for himself, for his
neighbor, or for his posterity. Almost
to the last hour of his life, Wellington
was atwork. So were Newton, Bacon,
Milton, and Franklin. The vigor of
their lives never decayod. No rust
marred their spirits. 1t is a foolish
idea to suppose that we must lie down
because we are old. Who is old? Not
the man of energy; not the day-laborer
in science, art, or benevolence; but he
only who suffers his energies to waste
time, and the, spring of life to become
motionless, on whose hands the hours
drag heavily.

In large glass case, standing in

WASHINGTON, August 4-Last year
$4,000 were set apart 10 pay the expenses
Of the commissioner sent to hold con
fereuces and negotiate with the Indian
tribes west of the Arkansas The COM
missioner was absent two months, and
had an interview with the representa-
tives of J 500 Indians. II was composed
of commissioners of the Indian Bureau,
Cooley Superintendent Sells, General
Harvey. Colonel Parker, Thomas Wister,
and Charles E. Mix, the last being chief
clerk of the Indian Bureau. The ac-
counts have just been settled, frem
which it appears that all the expenses,
including presents TO the Indians,
amounted TO only about $4,000, an ex-
traordinary low figure considering the
circumstances connected with the imFor-
tant mission.

WAsH1NGroN,9 Aug. 24.-Much mis-
understanding about admission to the
Paris exhibition seems to exist among
some of the authorities of several States.
Positively no articles will be entered or
received at the exhibition except those
for which application shall have been
duly filed with and excepted by the
general agent st New York, j. G. Derby,
Times building, No. 40 Park row: All
applications therefore should be prompt
ly forwarded to him, as he is required
to have the descriptive catalogue ready
by the 18th of next month, although the
present list Of applications promises an
excellent exhibition to several groups,
it is deficient in few important partic-
ulars, such as rich furnishing upholstry'
chrystsls and rich potteries, carpets,
wall papers, cutlery, bronze, &c.i cotton
and its products, wool and it's produced
fleece, and wool shawls, and Of shawls,
and of wool hosiery, &C. plans and med
els of rural buildings. fertilizing sub
stances, apparatus and instruments for
hunting, fishing and collecting natural
products, cereals, wines and fermented
drinks. .-.-.
Judging from the number Of claims
that are daily received at the Paymas-
ter-Generals Office, those who believed
themselves 10 be entitled to bountg
allowances under Act of July 18th. 1866,
entertain the impression that much viii
be gained by securing the entrance of
their claims to file in the Office at the
latest day. This is An error, the wiser
ard prudent among the claimants will
defer remitting their claims, and papers,
to the authorities here until they learn
the requirements Of the regulations,
which are 70 govern payments of claims,
These Regulations may materially affect
the charac ter and forms of applications,
in which case, the last claims received
will most probably be the first settled,
while those already on file may need to
be returned for necessary changes.
Nothing is gained to the claimant, bnt,
on the contrary much time may be lost,
and the examination of claims may be
greatly hindered by over haste in sub
mitting them for file.
Congress has provided free transpor,
tation to Paris for goods, and show
cases in which to exhibit the goods at
the Exposition, as well as competent
officers and guards to take care OF
them.

TIE Radical journals pretend to fear
that the South will establish system Of
serfdom for the government Of the ne
groes quite as bad as slavery. There il
one right the negro certainly has-the
right Of locomotioB. Ii the Southern
people are foolish enough to ill-treat the
blacks, they will not remain with them
In slavery. the negro had no choice of
residence. IL is not so now. If the blacks
are deserving, the North aud West will
invite them by liberallegislatiOn to make
their homes in these sections To say
that the negro will cling with an ignoble
teuacity to a section IN which be may be
abused is to eoueede that he is fitted only
tn he a serf or a slave. We eoncede
nothing Of the kind. If Ohio chooses
10 enfranehise negroes, and the distine-
ton is of any value to them, there Is no
reason TO believe that they will remain
in Tennessee and Kentucky. Millions
at foreign born citizens have crossed the
oe.sa to secure for themselves enlarged
political liberty If the crossing OF a
