~ A humorist who styles himself
"Corry O'Lanus," says:
Getting rich only involves two con-
ditions.
First, get money. Second, hold on
to it. | understand the principle first
rate, and as soon as can accomplish
the first condition, | am going to try my
hand ON the second.
When | got married, Mrs. 0'Lanus
and myself passed a joint resolution
that we would get rich. Getting the
furniture took all our capital in hand,
but | was to give to Mrs. O'Lanus all
the money ! got. she was to buy only
what We wanted, and put the rest in
the Savings Bank.
The first year was wanted more than
we could buy, and the Bank account
came cut without balance.
The next year my salary was increas-
ed. So was my family. Likewise the
expenses. Bank account the same as
the year before.
Third year, ditto. We continued to
accumulate at the same rate for several
years in succession.
Then the war broke out, and we con-
cluded not to put monty in the Bank
for the present, because things ther
were so uncertain.
Since then living has been high, ani
we have concluded to postpone the &C
cumulation of a fortune until the in
come tax is abolished, and grocerie!
become reasonable.

- Near Potsdam in Prussia, gun
powder is manufactured from wood on
something like the gun-cotton princi-
pie. 1t is now some years since we
first heard ofthe converting of saw dust
into an explosive by means of acids on
the gun-cotton principle, but Capt.
Schulze, of Potsdam, appears to have
carried out the invention into practi-
cal manufacture. By machinery he
cross-cuts beech and other timber into
very thin veneers. which are easily
crumbled into coarse grained powder
or saw-dust, which Is then exposed tc
the action of acids, probably in much
the same way that cotton is to form
gun-cotton, The grains are thus re-
duced in size and rendered explosive
when dried, without yielding either
smoke or smell in the combustion, bu
giving a brilliant light suitable foI
pyrotechnic displays.

A RADICAL MEMBER OF THE MIS-
souri, LEGIsLATURE.-The st. Louis
Republican, in late editorial, thus
describes one Colonel Babcocke, q
member of the Legislature of Missouri :
We have shown by documentary
proof that Col. Babcoeke, who profess
es to be religious man, is a consum-
mate hypoerite. We have convicted
him of being a wilful liar and calumni
ator. We have shown that q number
of years ago he was connected with a
gang of counterfeiters and horsethisves
in Iowa. We have proven that he was
last summer in command of party OF
men who, under the pretext ofan order
from Col. B., attrociously murdered
Judge Wright and four of his sons,
putting twenty-seVen bullet holes into
the faces and body-fronts of the unre'
sisting victims, and leaving them in the
woods with their pockets turned inside
out; and that he, Col. B., never tool
any.measures to punish his subordi
mates, but ON the contrary, exulted IL
their cowardly and inhuman butchery
We have published speeches made By
him in the House. and acknowledge
by him to be correctly reported, il
which he has confessed to acts whicl
no man not stepped in crime to tn
very eyebrows Woald avow, excep
upon the gallows, or upon the brink 9
eternity, and in which he has utteree
sentiments the conception of whicl
could originate in the mind of no othe
than a villain of the deepest dye.

~ The last, best evidence addueed
before q court to show the sane mental
condition of man whose will was dis
puted, was the fact, given in evidence.
that the testator, just before his death,
went into the village newspaper Office
and not only subscribed for the paper
for a year, but actually paid for it in
advance. The judge and jury unani-
mously agreed that the testator was
thoroughly sane.

" A gentleman in Paris, named
Blondin, has lately occupied himself
with statistics of persons killed by
lightning, and he declares that ladies
should no longer be afraid of the elecA
trio fluid, as in comparison with men
they only suffer from it at the rate Of
90 to 100. One might be inclined to
attribute this difference in mortality to
certain habit Of going into cellars,
but M. BIondin assures US that light
ming exhibits marked prediction for
the male sex, and where man and a
woman ale walking together, the man
is invariably the sufferer.

u The doctors especially devoted
to the cure of cholera patients at Alex
andria Egypt have tried an expert
ment, the object of which is to ascer-
tain whether that disease is caused by
peculiar state of the outward air, as
has been supposed. They sent up two
balloons, one from a village as yet
untainted by the epidemic, and the
other from Alexandria. A quarter Of
fresh beef was suspended to each bal
loon, which was allowed TO float GER
tain time in the air. On making these
balloons descend. the meat which had
floated over Alexandria was complete
ly purified. whereas, that which had
been suspended over the healthy vii.
lage, was perfectly fresh. The quar-
tiers of beef had been cut off the same
animal.

TRUIsMs.- Politeness is the outward
garment of good will.
A wife who loses her patience must
not expect to keep her husbands heart.
How all of US would hate and de-
spise the man who should misuse our
gifts as we misuse those of heaven.
Whatever you dislike in another per-
son, take care to correct in yourself,
by the gentle reproof Of better rrae-
tice.
Time has delicate little waves but
the shal pest cornered pebble, after all,
becomes smooth and blunt therein at
last.
Your character connot be essential
ly injured except by your own acts.
If one speaks evil of you, let your life
be so that no one will believe him.
If man be gracious to strangers, il
shows that he is citizen of this world
and that his heart is no island cut of
from other lands, but part of the con-
tinent that joins them.
Pleasure is to woman what the sun ii
to flowers; if moderately enjoyed, il
beauties, it refreshes, and improves
if immoderately, it withers, it deterio-
rates, and it destroys.
A clear stream reflects all objects
that are upon its shore, but is unsulliet
by them. So it should be with oui
hearts-they should show the effect o
all objects, and yet remain unharmet
| by any.

RADICAL EFFORTS TO AGREE
Since the defeat of the constitutional
amendment in the Senate, the most
strenuous efforts have been made by the
Radicals to agree upon some general
principles, in pursuance of which they
can control the future legislation of
Congress; but the attempt has COM
pletely failed. The fate of the consti
tutional amendment will be the fate OF
every one of their measures. They
can agree upon nothing, and the power
of the party is gone.
