How Poor Boys Reach the Top n found.

How Poor Boys Reach the Top Round
(From The New York Commercial Advertiser.l
There are 1919 names who pay an
income tax in this city Sixty seven per-
sons pay lax on incomes of 100000 or
over. Most of these solid gentlemen
are self-made men, who have come up
from the lowest round of the ladder.
The man who heads the list, A. T.
Stewart, everybody knows is an Irish
emigrant, who commenced with capital
of less than twenty-five cents; indeed,
with few exceptions, most of the parties
in the list were scarce as well off rs MIR.
Stewart. Take Henry Keep; he boasts
that he graduated from the poor house
of Jefferson county. Jay Gould drove a
herd of cattle from Delhi, Delaware
county, when a lad, for fifty cents day,
in order to get money enough to reach
the Hudson river. David Groesbeck,
over thirty years ago, used to mend old
shoes for his brother, who was respect
able shoemaker in Albany. We all know
the history of James Gordon Bennett,
Robert Bonner, poor boys full Of talent
and industry. Rufus Hatch, when
youngster, had an ambition to hold the
reins of peddler's wagon. E. D. Nor
gan commenced life with quarter meas
ure of molasses. 1t is scarce dozen
years since Henry Clews was an errand
boy in one of the banking houses down
town. The brothers Seligman started
out in life with peddler's pack. David
Bows, in his younger days, retailed pork
by the half pound and molasses by the
gill. III. Z. Helmbold was first cabin
boy on the sloop Mary Jane, that navi
gated the Delaware river. We might
go on through the list, and show that
nearly every one of these solid men
were the architects of their own fortunes.
Young men, who are struggling for
place and position, should remember that
the individuals in the list below had to
battle for life just as hard as they are do
ing. Let them take heart and never say
die.
Honor and shame from no condition rise,
Act we'll your part-there all the honor lies.

Napoleon and Eugene.

A Paris correspondent does up Ma
poleon and Eugene in the following
style:
Napoleon may be dying of the forty
or fifty mortal diseases with which the
newspapers are constantly supplying him;
but, judging by bis appearance, they
don't hurt him much. He is very jew
ish and common place in semblance; bis
eyes dull aud his face perfectly impassive.
He might we'll be mistaken for He
brew clothes-dealef of long experience,
who, having turned his attention to gov
erning a great country, had resolved to
make his intentions inscrutable. He re.
minds you of one of CHAINS caricatures,
with his broad shoulders and great body,
and his short little legs that seem incapa-
bic of supporting the weight that has
been SO unnaturalIy thrust upon them.
do not believe he is unpopular with
the French people, who are bound to
have certain amount Of political dis
content whether Napoleon or a Nero
reigns over them. Louis may DO su-
preme egotist; but be loves France; has
certainly done much for his country and
for Paris. He has made this the most
attractive city in the world He amuses
the people, and has added to the glory
of the nation What more do French.
men need !? what more will they ask?
EUGENE
is showing the traces of years-it may
be of sorrow-and she is repairing them
by artificial means. She is not so pretty
as she has been; but she is very elegant
dstingue in her manner and encourage.
Her face sometimes seems insipid; but it
lights up, when she is moved, as if her
heart had caught fire. Her mouth and
chin are beautiful, and in her deep eyes
are unfathomable emotions. She has
tragedy and comedy in her nature, and
is capable of heroic things, l am conf
dent She will do them, believe, if
the occasion comes to her, and live in
the future of France with Jean dare,
Charlotte Corday and Madame Roland.
Eugene is much loved by the people,
though the scandal is still kept up that
her husband is not the father of her
child. They may like her all the better
for that possibility. They would be
most unjust not to forgive in her what
they are forced to condone in themselves.
She is much altered from what she was.
Shg. has gone through the three stages
of French womanhood-gallantry,
learning and devotion. AS the Countess
de Teba she was decidedly fast. After
marriage she grew to be quite a 6as
bieu, though little was said of it. Now
she is extremely religious, and daily be-
coming more so. Before her child was
born she made a vow to visit the Holy
Land and do various peuances if it
were boy, and his life was spared
She will 90 to Jerusalem next September,
after the opening of the Suez Canal,
and then. it is said. withdraw herself as
much as possible from the gayeties Of

hours day in her private chapel, and
goes to confession twice week.

THE Flowers.
There is q legend old as earth,
But beautiful and true
Which tells us how the flowers had birth,
And wherefore came the dew.
When Eve-through Satan's sore deceit
Touched the forbidden tree,
And tempted her good man" TO eat,
The Lord came aBgriiy:
And straightway turned from Eden's bowers,
The first born sinners forth,
way from all its smiling flowers
Upon the barren earth.
But pitying-ere to heaven he passed
His angels-brothe then
Der all the earth their footprints past,
And hill, and vale and glen
Sparkled with aowers-Earth's starry spheres:
And seldom fed from view,
They strewed the flowers with plying tears
Which oft ve.passcd for dew.
And thus, though Paradise was l5st
BY first of human kind,
Their children know, though sorely.crossed,
Gods love is left behind.

RAYMOND, SEWARD AND WEBB.
Taxation.

Taxes must be laid to meet the expenses of the
State-to pay the interest coming due on the pub
lie debt The character and credit of North Car
olina must now be preserved at all hazards.
Raj. Standard
How is it to be done if the Legislature
continues to mako enormous appropria-
tions and increase the expenses of the State
Government. Besides paying the interest
on the public debt, look at the amount re-
quired to pay salaries of State officers,
members of the Legislature, &C., to say
nothing of Penitentiary, Schools, &c. The
number Of public officers has been largely
increased, which, alone, causes heavier
taxation. Also, the expense of conducting
the County Governments is much greater
than heretofore. So it requires no great
comprehension to see the destruction that
pended with lavish hand, while the Le-
gislature still further involves the people
by issuing State Bonds, considerable
amount of which, no doubt, are obtained
by corruption and rascality generally.
| But we object to extravaganza and extra
VACANT appropriations because we know
the money cannot be raised by taxation,
and therefore no one ought to be deceived
iuto becoming State creditor. The Con-
stitution positively limits the amount of
tax that can be levied by the General AS
sembly, and if taxes are assessed beyond
that amount the people can refuse to pay
and appeal to the Courts.
Section l, Article V, of the new Consti-
tuition declares as follows {:
1.-THE General Assembly shall levy capitation
tax every male inhabitant in the State 2l
years and under 80 years of age, which shall be
equal on each to the tax property valued at
three dollars in cash. The commissioners of the
several counties may exempt from capitation
toy ia ~ Tnu rtN and in
tirmity, and the State and county capitation tax
! combined shall never exceed two dollars on the
head"
Let those who are involving the State
in an OnerOus debt remember that the tax
on each poll must be equal to the tax on
$500 worth of property, and that the poll
tax is limited to toCO d0LdrS-that is, $500
worth of property cannot be taxed more
than 50. That is the plain reading of the
Constitution, and, although interested
parties may endeavor to put @ different
construction on the words, it cannot be
done fairly. We intend to urge the peo-
pie not so'submit to anything but what the
| Constitution of the State requires.
It is time State creditors and everybody
else understood this matter. Let no one
| be deceived.
We are in favor of encouraging internal
| improvements, but not by contracting an
enormous debt with no possibility or pro-
liability Of paying it. We love North Car
olina, and are anxious to maintain her good
name, but are unwilling to submit to what
is notoriously wrong and a cheat, even to
avoid reputation.
This is no partiZan matter-every man,
republican or democrat, black or white, is
interested in having the government eco
nomically administered. And neither are
the plunder schemes party matter-he
pZ,lndeyerS are not divided by party lines.
