How to Become a millionaire.

Mr. McDonough, the millionaire of
New Orleans, has engraved upon his
tomb series of maxims he had prescrib-
ed as the rules for his guidance through
life, and to which his success in business
is mainly attributed They contain so
much wisdom that we copy them:
Rules .fos The GuIiaace Of my Life,
1904 Remember always that labor is
one Of the conditions of our existence
Time Is gold: throw not enc minute away,
but place each one to account. Do unto
all men as you would be done by New
er put off till tomorrow what can be done
to-day Never bid another 10 what you
can do yourself. Never covet what IS
not your own. Never think of any mat
ter 50 trltiing as not to deserve notice.
Never give out that which does not first
comes IN. Never spend but to produce
let the greatest order regulate the trans
actions OF your life. Study IN your course
OF HE to do the greatest amount of good
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
for your comfort, but live In an honorable
simplicity. Labor then to the last mo-
ment OF your existence. Pursue strictly
the above rules, and the Divine blessing
and riches of every kind will flow upon you
to your heart 5 content; but first of all, re
member that the chief and great study of
our life should be to tend, by all means
in our power, to the honor and glory OF
cur Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which | have arriv-
ed is, that without temperance there is
no health; without virtue, no order i;
without religion, no happiness and that
the aim of our being is to live wisely,
soberly and righteously.

Its pictures, sometimes called scenery

school In the summer time. The dress
of the dam-sels are useleSsly long, for
the lower limbs shown on the stage are
no more seductive than the legs of Rus,
Munger s pianos, or the legs turned out
by a lathe machine. This can be relied
on.
Its politics are healthy-sound. The
programme is proof posisive of this fact
while the fate of the once all-powerfill-
for-eyil Black Crook, piles up the testi-
mony in favor of this assertion. The
principal characters represent the world
at large, with so positive line drawn
between the good and bad as to leave no
doubt as to which party they would join
were they American citizens.
1st The Immortals'' undoubtedly
represented the Republican Union Party.
Especially are We confirmed in this opin-
ion when we see them trtumphing over
the powers OF darkness.
I'd. The 'sAmphibea. These mon
grel creatures arc introduced into the
play for no other reason than to represent
the johnson party.

and others represent Sec. McCulloch, his
good many of the ''Amphibea" endeav-
ored to get admitted to the 'Gnomes, -
but failed.
4th. The 'Infernals. Democracy
in its palmiest days, never surpassed
these sui phurous demons in downright
cussedness. Indeed the likeness is so
striking that the reflective minds of many
who haye grown gray in political sin, are
startled from their wonted equanimity as
they witness this indubitable evidence
that the home of Democracy beyond the
grave is tropical temperature, and sulphur
baths are no rarity there. 80 =
The BLACK Crook may be slightly
seductive as performed in New York, but
your committee are proud to call atten-
ton to the superior morality of the West,
and the tribute which Mammon pays to
the virtues of ST. Paul, in that in defer
ence to the pure and healthy tastes of
her people, this play, as presented to
them, is shorn of all appearance of evil,
and is exalted into great moral and al
most evangelical agency.
