PHoroeRApHING By NIGHT.

The experiment has just been made sue
cessfuIly in ST. Louis. A writer gives the
following description ofthe m0das operandt.
"On entering toe room we noticed sort Of
miniature Turkish dome standing on the
foor, about six feet high FIVE feet vide and
six aud half feet long. In front Of this
stood camera, and within, chair and
steadying apparatus Near the top and at
the left hand front Of this structure was
clock lamp for burning and feeding the
magnesium wire that furnished the light for
the art-pu:poses required in photography.
In moment Fitzgibbon and bis assistants
announced that plate was ready, and inVi-
ted one of the company to sit for his photo
graph. lie entered the rear Of the mosque
shaped structure, seated himself, the camera
was adjusted, a match applied to the mag
nesium wirc, aud beautiful and brilliant
light resulted. which in one half minute
produced as fne a picture of the sitter as
was ever seen by daylight. The result was
perfect. aud the novelty Of having one pic
ture taken by night will draw crowds to Fitz-
gibbon as soon as he opens to the pubic,
which will be on Monday next. But novelty
IS not the only idea in this wonderful process.
Its artificial light for Photographic purposes
is fully equal to sunlight in the best hours
Of the day, and makes it possible to do the
best of work at late hoars 10 the afternoon,
as well as on rainy and cloudy days, when
the sun is hidden The same light will also
print from the negative plate as well as BY
day, and hence an evening sitter who may
be in haste, can have packages of photograph
cards all ready by the morning. 1t Is ex-
quisitely adapted for parlor and sick room
pictures, which have heretofore been next
TO impossible. The darkest recess in the
darkest cellar may be thus photographed as
well as under the most fortunate circum-
stances with natural light. It is marvel
Of progressive art, and as useful as l. Is
wonderful.

THE GREAT LESSONS.


The first great lesson young man should
learn Is that he knows nothing. The earlier
aud the more thoroughly this lesson is
learned the better A home-bred youth
growing up in the light of parental admira-
ton, with everything to foster his vanity
and self-esteem, is surprised to find, and
often unwilling to acknowledge, the supe-
riority of other people. But he is eompell-
ed TO learn his own insigni6canoe; his airs
are ridiculed, his blundeIs exposed, his
wishes disregarded, and he Is made to cut
a sorry figure, until his sef-conceit is abased,
and he feels that he knows nothing.
When young man has thoroughly COM
pretended the fact that be knows nothing,
and that, intnnsieally, he is but of little
value, the next lesson Is that the world
cares nothing about him. He is the sub
iect of no man s overwhelming admiration;
neither petted by the one sex, nor envied
by the other he has to take care of himself
He will not be noticed TIT he becomes no
ticeable; he viii not become noticeable IN
I'll he does something TO prove that he Is
of some use to society. No recommenda-
ton or introduction viii give him this, or
ought to give him this he must do some
thing to be recognized as somebody.
The next lesson is that of patience. A
man must learn to wait as well as work, and
to be content with those means Of advance
ment in life which be may use with integ-
rity and honor. Patience is one of the most
difficult lessons to learn. 1t is natural for
the mind to look for immediate results.
Let this, then, be understood at starting:
that the patient conquest of difficulties
which rise in the regular and legitimate
channels Of business and enterprise is not
only essential in securing the success which
a young man seeks in life, but essential to
that preparation Of the mind requisite for
the enjoyment of success, and for retaining
it when COINED 1t is the general rule, in
all the world and in all time, that unearned
success is curse.

SALARIES IN ENG
LAND.

The London correspondent of the New
York Times gives some interesting informa
ton in regard to the Government salaries
paid in England 1t seems from his state
ment that, in many cases, q great deal Of
money is paid for a very little work. He
says
Salaries are not 50 high in proportion as
pensions. The places in the royal house
hold, honorable sinecures, are a sort Of pen
sion or reward for political services, These
change with the changes of Cabinets. Her
Majesty's Steward, an Earl, gets $4,000
a year; Treasurer, who pays the market bills,
or his clerk, for him, SIS, ,000; Master Of the
Household, Major Domo. $500; Keeper
of the Prigy Purse a mythical matter, S.,
GOO; Queen Private Secretary, who could
not be trusted with the mythical purse, or
other functions, 5000; Master Of the
Horse, SI2, 900; Master Of the Buckhounds
there really are some of these, though the
Earl Of Cork may never see them-s8, 800
Groom Of the Robes-Msjor General Sey-
mour, who personally or b. deputy attends
to her Majesty's Royal petticoats-S4 O00
These are only few of them, for there are
nearly thousand persons attached to the
Royal household, and paid for rendering
some real, but mostly imaginary services to
her Majesty As usual, those who do most
get least pay.
''The members Of the Cabinet, for the
most part, work for their money. The Lord
Chancellor has the largest plum in the pud
ding-S50. coo a year and the pension to fol
low. Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Lowe, Mr. Bruce,
Mr.. Cardwell, Earls, Clarendon and Gran
vile and the Duke Of Argyle get the same

600 year; Mr.. Childers, So, 500; Mr.. For
tesque, $4,000; Marquis Of Harrington,
Sl2, 500; Earl DeGrey, Earl Kimberly, Mr..
Bright and Mr.. Gosehen, $4,000. What
seems to me the hardest thing 10 England is
the small pay given to many who work very
hard, and the great sums squandered on
idlers. There are scores Of persons in the
pay of the Foreign Ofhce at high salaries,
who have not done day 'sserviee in % years.
One man, who has received $270, 900, has
not been consulted since 1854; another, who
has lived in absolute idleness for forty four
years, has received over sl5o,00o. There

HINTS ON HOUSE CLEANING BY

As the spring days approach, the house
wife feels her daily cares increase. Every
closet. drawer and piece bag must be ram
sacked, overlooked and cleared up for the

washed in strong brine to destroy all insects,

for few days, then steep them in a tin pail
or pan for half an hour, strain through

Wall papers are readily eleansed by tying a
soft cloth over a broom and sweeping down
the walls carefully. The dust and ashes Of
furnaces and stoves are deposited in every
crack and creYice of our rooms, and require
vigiant and active treatment for their reno
val. Carpets absorb great quantities OF
them. All who can afford It will ind It a
great improvement to use straw mating in
summer, and in autumn cover them with

then put down the carpets over them.
Cleansing silver IS not an easy task; the USE
of kerosene will greatly facilitate the opera

continue to eat after it has been satisfied,
hoping to crafty the taste.
Tenth-To eat hearty supper for the

OFFICIAL CoRRUPTIoN-Strickland
of Milwaukee is virtually offering to
bride comfy officers by sending them
clrc ulars in which he agrees to di-
vide with them all money received
from counties for books, blanks, sta
tionery, &C., ordered by them from
him and used in their offices. The
officers are to present bills to County
Boards for allowance, have them al,
lowed, and then divide the proceeds.
The laws subject printers to indict-
ment for making such proposals, and
also provide that public officers shall
accept no compensation for any work
or article ordered. Strickland is
perhaps ignorant as to the statute
and moral laws governing trade.
He should consult the court decisions
before offering inducements to the
public agents which are calculated to
demoraliZe them.

To LAND OwNERs.-The list of
lands delinquent for the taxes of 1868,
appears in the Herald, and persons
holding receipts may save ultimate
trouble, may be loss of property, by
comparing them with the list and
if any lands upon which the taxes
have been paid are advertised, it be-
comes the duty and interest to have
the County Treasurer make the cor
rections. Receipts may be voided in
time-especially after tax deeds have
been given and after the term of re-
demption shall have expired. This
is no new law, but an old fact be-
longing to the system of tax sales
and transfer Of lands for unpaid tax
es. 1t supposes that man owes it
to the public as well as to himself to
pay attention to these advertised no
tees which appear in the papers,
neglecting which his title to lands
may be voided though in possession
OF tax receipts every year since their
entry. The Herald is so generally
circulated that copy may be found
anywhere and the list compared with
receipts.
