BASEFfr OF BEING KNOCKED ABouT.-It
is good thing for young man to be
knocked about in the world" though
his soft-hoarted parents may not think
so. An youths, or il not all, certainly
ninoteen-twentioth Of the sum total,
enter life with surplussage OF self-eon-
ceit. The sooner they are relieved Of
it the better II, in measuring them
selves. they discover it is unwarrantcd,
and get rid OF it gracefully, of their own
acco;d, well and good; if not, it is de-
sirable, for their own sakes, that ii be
knocked out Of them.
A boy who is sent to a large school
n on finds bis level. His will may have
b, en- paramount at home, but school
b, SIS are democratic in their ideas, and
II arrogant, he is sure TO be thrashed into
recognition Of the golden rule. The
W, rid is a great public school, and il soon
tei ehes new pupil his proper place.
If lie has the attributes that belong to o
lea Ter, he will be installed in the posi-
ton OF leader; if not, whatever his
ow. opinion Of his abilities may be, he
win be compelled to fall in with the
ran and file II not destined to great
mes the next best thing which he can
asp ~ to is responsibility; but no man
can either be truly great or truly res
pee able who is vain, pompous and
Over bearing.
i this time the novice, having found
his sgilimate social status, be the same
high or low, the probability is that the
disae reeable traits Of bis character viii
be s. tened down and worn away. Most
likely the process Of abrasion will BE-
rough perhaps very rough, but when i
is al ,yer. and lac begins to TO see him
self ~ others see him, and not as re.
flected in the mirror Of self-conccit, b.
win be thankful that he has run tb,
gauntlet, and arrived, through by !
rongh road. at self-knowledge.
/ Upon the whole, whatever loving
mothers may think to the contrary, i
is good thing for their boys to b,
knocked about in the world; it makes
men Of ilem.

IHE TRUE GENTLEMAS.-He il
above mean thing. He cannot
stoop to a mean frand. lie invades
no secret IN the keeping Of another.
lie betrays no secret eonfided to his
own keeping. He never struts in
borrowed plumage. lie never takes
selfish advantage Of our mistakes.---
He uses 40 ignoble weapons in cen
froyersy. He never stabs in the
dark. lie i ashamed OF inucudoes.
lie is not one thing to mans face
aud another behind his back. RI BY
accident he comes in possession ofliis
neighbours oounsels he passes upon
them an ACT Of instant oblivion. lie
bears sealed packages without tam
pering with the wax. Papers not
meant for BIB eye, whether they fiut-
ter at bis window or lic open before
him in unguarded exposure, are sa-
cred to him. He inyades no privacy
Of others, however the sentry sleeps.
Bolts and bars, locks and keys; hedg-
es and pickets, bonds and securities,
notice 10 trespassers, are none OF
them for him. He may be trusted
himself out Of sight near tile thin
nest partition anywhere. lie buys
no offices, he sells none, lie intrigues
for none. lie would rather fail Of
his rights than win them through dis
honor lie will eat honest bread.
lie iramples on no sensitive feeling,

short whatever he Judges honorable, he

The outcry for retrenchmenti in the
Government expenditures is growing
louder and louder at Washington,
and we trust will lead to some impor-
tant reforms. A better place for o
beginning could not be found than
in heoffices of the Secretary of the

Both these gentlemen are weighed
down with useless subordinates, who
have nothing to do, and would not
do anything if they had it. Let
them all be decapitated at once.

The COTTON TAx.-The tax on raw
cotton was two cents per pound until
August 1, 1866, when it was increased
to three cents. In September, 1867,
it was again reduced half cent per
pound, the tax being two and half
cents. In 1866, the amount realized
by the Government from this source
was $1S. 400, ,654.9O, and in 1867,
1913. 759, 078. 80--the latter amount
substantially representing the pro-
duct OF the year-namely, 1900,

EpToRIAL Reunion. The assam-
bling of nearly all the editors of the
State, in this city, during the recent
Conservative Convention was M eyent
highly agreeable to themselves, and, !
we are sure, beneficial to the public.
The perils Of the State have united
them in the common cause, and OBJ
liberated party feelings and divisions
of other days.
Meeting together in the spirit of
patriotism and devotion TO the public
welfare, they most readily coalesced,
and entered into q free and unre-
strained intercourse. The exchange
of views md comparison of plans
have improved the concord and effi-
oiency Of their efforts to redeem their
State, and we are sure all of them re-
turn home with the sonviction that
each will be able to do more than
heretofore, for the promotion of the
political and material interests of
Virginia. Socially, the conference of
these gentlemen has been the most
agreeable I2e;o'a.a.oma Gispaica.

THE WEALTH AND GROWTH OF THE
'CoUNTRY.-Mr. Joseph s. Wilson,
Commissioner of the General Land
Office, in his just completed report,
states that there are now 81, 900 miles
OF completed railway in the United
States, which is at the rate of 900
miles a year, since the work of con-
structing them was begun. There
are in tho course of construction at
the present time, about 18, 900 miles
additional. Mr.. Wilson asserts that
the domestic trade of the United
States is now worth five billions of
dollars. Speaking of the Pacific rail
roads, now in process of construc-
ton, or projected, he claims that the
trade of the Indies, of China, of Ja-
pan, of all the Eastern world, must
flow into this country. We are now,
he says, 5000 miles ahead of Eng
land in our routes to China, Japan
and the Indies. The command of
their trade will revolutionize the
commerce of the world, and transfer
the great commercial and financial
centre of ,ohristendom from London
to New York. Mr.. Wilson estimates
that there is room enough on the
great Pacific slope for forty new
States. He thinks that by the COM
mencement of the next century, we
will be united country of one hun
dred States, with the control of all
the great treasure shipments of the
world. He says this country has
commenced her grand imperial
course, with the control of the East
ern trade in her power, and that the
immigration and natural growth of
the country will place us at over one
hundred millions of people by the
year 1900.
