wish Had Capital.

So we heard great strapping young man exclaim the other day in an office. We did want to give him piece of our mind so bad and we'll just write to him. You want capital, do you? And suppose you had what you call capital, what would you do with it You want capital !--Haven't you hands and feet, and muscle, and bone, and brains, and don't you call them capital {? What more capital did God give any body? "Oh, but they are not money" says you. But they are more than money, and nobody can take them from you. Don't you know how to use them? If you don't, it's time you were learning. Take hold of the first blow, or hoe, or jack plane, or broad- axe that you can find, and go to work. Your capital will soon yield you a large interest. Ay, but there's the Sub You don't want to work you want money on credit, that you may play gentleman and speculate, and end by playing the vagabond.
 Oryou want plantation with plenty of hirelings upon it do the work, while you run over the country and aissi- pate; or want to marry some rich girl who may be foolish enough to take you for your good looks, that she may support you.
 Shame on you young man !-Go to work with the capital you have, and you'll soon make interest enough upon it to give you as much money as you want and make you feel like man. If you can't make money on what capi- tai you have, you could not make it if you had million of dollars in money. af you don't know how to use bone and muscle and brains, you would not know how to use gold. If you let the capital that you have lie idle, and waste and rust out, it would be the same thing with you if you had gold; you would only know how to waste it.
 Then don't stand about idle, a great helpless child waiting for somebody to come in and feed you, but go to work. Take the first work yoa can find, no matter what it is, so that you may do well. Yes, whatever yoA undertake, do it well; always do your best. If you manage the capital you already have, you will soon have plenty more to manage; ; but if you can't or won't manage the capital God has given you, you will naver have any other to man. age. Do you hear young man ?-Ex- change.

HIRAM ULYSSES GRANT.-Gen. Grant informed the people the other day that they must judge of him by his record. Nothing is more brief or less difficult We give it:
 Born April 27, 1922. Rode "Dave" and "Comic Mule." Entered West Point in 1887, and graduated in lS43. Went to California: went on sprees with Digger Indians; resigned in 1852. In 1854 applied for a clerkship to the Prothonatary of St. Louis, and was rejected for want of capacity; went to Galena and turned tanner. In 1861 entered the army; got whipped at Bel mont; afterwards defeated Gen. Lee. In 1864 made General-in-Ch -Chief-kept his mouth shut. In 1868 nominated for President--keeps his mouth shut. According to authority of Wendell Phillips and Greedy, his habits are bad and extremely dissolute. That's all !- IN. O. Times.

 THE CuTwoRM.-A Georgia farmer writes as follows about this pest:
 My remedy, or rather preventive, against that destructive pest, which l have used with satisfactory success, is as follows: Dis solve from one and half to two ounces of copperas in an ordinary sized pail (or bucket) full of water. Pour on the plan ting corn enough of the solution to cover it and two or three inches over, to allow for the swelling of the grain.--Let it re- main thirty-six to forty-eight hours: plant without letting the grain become dry If the weather should prove unfavorable for planting at the end of forty-eight hours, it may remain in the solution longer with out risk or injury. l have planted with perfect success corn that had been inner sed nine days. have used this preven- tive for many years, and have no hesita- ton in saying that the farmer who tries it once will never omit it afterwards.

Radical Leaders.

A moments glance at the present situation of the radical party will serve to show the contrast between its con- dition in 1860 and 1868. Among the conspicuous members of the republi- can convention of 1860, were such men as Francis P. Blair, William M. Evarts, and host of others. embodying the talent and responsibility of the conyen- tion-a majority of whom are now ranked among the most decided oppo- nents of the radicals. In the Chicago convention of that year there were four prominent candidates for the presiden- tial nomination-Lincol Seward. Chase and Bates. The last act of Lin
 coln's life was to originate and adopt the policy of Johnson. Bates abandon
 ed the present radical organization be-
 fore Lincoln died Seward is an active enemy of radicalism, and if there IS one man in the United States whom
 the radicals of to-day hate more bitter ly than Andrew Johnson, that man is Salmon F. Chase. Then Chase, and Trumbull, and Fessenden, and Grimes, and Doolittle, and Dixon, and Stan berry, and host of other great names were in the hands of the republicans.
 Now, they are either acting openly with the democracy, or are read out of the radical party by the hot heads who control it. Nor is this all that is notice able. While the statesmen of the republican party have abandoned radi- calism the vicious and treacherous ele- ments of the democratic party have entered its folds. The party which be- come too corrupt for Chase and Doo- little, Bates and Evarts, has demonstra- ted its affinity for Butler and Logan, Stanton and Dan. Sickles. The leaders of the radical party to-day-the men who have Grantin their keeping-were clamorous for secession in 1860, and justified the southern states in resort ing to arms to repel the exercise of federal power. Now, Butler, Logan, Stanton and Dan. Sickles are blatant radical demagogues, and are accorded the highest positions of honor in the party that so recently despised them. They take the places once occupied by Seward, Chase, Trumbull, Stanberry, aud others like them.-[ Albany Argus.

R9 My friend, did you ever know, can you call to mind single instance, of person who having his own way to make in the world, spent his time in the street, in billiard saloons, around hotels, or in any form of dissipation, succeeded in great degree in any enterprise? Look over your list of acquaintances, and note their course Do you not find, upon examination, that those who to-day are men of influence and honor, were the youth who made the most of valuable time, turning it to good ac- count; and, on the other hand, don't you find that those who stood on the corner, with cigar or pipe in theiy mouth, went from bad to worse, and to ruinY Sadly must the answer be made. Oh, that it were not so--they have failed Will you not profit by the experience of others :? Go not that way. Never be idle Every moment of your time is a golden one; fix your eyes upon some noble subject. Be men. Will you not be one of the num- Der who can say, 'sI am man 2"

TIE DEVIL FISH, so-cALIED.-The mari ne
monster, whose capture was reported a few day
since has no clkm to his satanic title. He has been
subjected to scientific examination by Professor F.
g. Holmes, ana Is found to belong to the genus pop
ularly known as the singrsy, sea-ray, coach whip,
esgle-ray and clsm-cracker, the devil fish being re-
motely connected with the family, probably about
fortieth cousn The individual In question Is gen.
utne clam-cracker and is not an uncommon vistor in
these waters several having been found IN our har
Dor. His scientific name Is jawbreaker, and it
would take two long bresths to pronounce 1t cor
rectly. In appearance he is spotted Like
,pard. Z" with . head ike bird, sharp beak, and
teeth on the roof Of the mouth and tongue. His tail
Is long and rathke, with sting at the extremity,
which inAicts an ugly wound. The specimen cap
tured measured four feet from the nose to the tail,
and Ave feet two inches hom wing to wing AS the
name indicates, its genus live on CLAIMS and shell
fish, which they burrow for with their sharp bony
heads, and crack with their powerful jaws. Their
fondness for such food induces them to keep near
the bottom, and they are therefore seldom captured
They frequently attain great size, and have been
known to weighave hundred pounds Few persons
except those who are akin to the "ancent mariner"
know anything Of the inhabitants Of old ocean, and
the land lubbers who are fond Of the curious should
pay the monster visit.
