PLUCK AND PLoD.-In a recent
extemporaneous address delivered by
Mayor Hall, of New York, before a
class of business college graduates, the
following passage occurs:
"There is no better word in the
English language than 'plod.' If you
would really and truly succeed in life,
yOuRg men, you must ptOd. oh, says
somebody, John Brown-a snap Of the
finger for him; he is only a plodder!n
Only a 1todder! There never was a
man, thought he was the most brilliant
genius in the world, who did not owe
whatever of real success he may have
achieved to being plodder as well. 1t is
al! very well to coruscate and light the
path of life, but it must be pluck and
1olod that carries man successfully
over"
Worse things than that have been
said in the pulpit; and we do not doubt
that this little lay sermon will be
productive of as much good as many
more elaborate disquisition, flanked on
either side with ritual pomp and eere-
mony. The world has recently gone
onto raptures over the completion of the
Pacific Railroad, which is aptly termed
the greatest achievement Of the century
How much would genius alone have
done towards planting a highway across
this mighty continent? OF what use
would have been Congressional appro-
priations, the right of way, preliminary
surveys and spread. eagleism without
the "pluck aud plod" Of the sturdy
workmen, who inch by inch and foot
by foot levelled the mountain. and
filled up The valleys for the path Of
empire?" All honcr to the men who
conceived this great enterp...--AAr- aud
equal honor to the willing hands aud
sturdy hearts that made its achievement
possible.
One of the best sayings-because the
most true and useful-of President
Lincoln, was that by which Ais war
policy was dlsclosed-the determina-
tioA to keep "pegging away" The
great evil of the day-and especially
with young men-is the desire to
achieve rapidly; and the consequent
to become discouraged if
results are not at once apparent.

in its application than we are apt to
believe. Courage, sobriety, trust in God,
and steady perseverance in right
doing, carry with them continual bfes-

Affairs in Europe.

Although we have noreport of
a battle since our last, yet the
French have lost ground, and, of
course, lost nerve and confidence,
while the Prussians, elated by
success, are marching on Paris,
which they may reach to-day, or
tomorrow, or any time within a
week. But if French confidence
is shaken, French pride and pluck
are rallied, and will yet, we think,
to some extent, retrieve its for
tunes.
But, unless the kilograms re-
ceived from across the water are
false, the reign of Napoleon is near
its close. The people of France
seem to be of this belief, and that
fact alone would go far toward Sc
curing his reinforcement.
Thus far, the Prussians have
outnumbered the French in every
engagement by fully three to one,
and the almost invariable successes
are attributable to this great dis
parity of numbers. The losses
have been equally disproportion-
ate. Where the French have lost
10000 the Prussian loss is reckon
ed at from $4,000 to $4,000. The
march of Sherman to Atlantis
seems to be repeated.

TheFair.

1t would be useless to urge a
preparation for, or an attendance
at, the Fair. The people of this
county are a wide-awake people,
alive to their agricultural interests,
and are always prepared for the
annual exhibition of their pro-
ducts. No county in the State
possesses a richer soil, or better
lands, and the farmers of this
county possess fine stock. The
mechanical productions of this
county are not excelled by similar
manufactures anywhere. The
productions of the soil, and of
mechanical skill are therefore al
ways attractive, and give satisfac-
ton both to exhibitors and visitors.
These features never fail to give
Lincoln county Fairs, degree of
success seldom obtained elsew here.
Preparations are being made in
different POI tons of the county
for the exhibition of stock, farm
products, and the productions of
mechanical skill, that will make
the general exhibition this year
equal to if not greater than at any
Fair heretofore held. There is no
one but could bring some produc-
ton to exhibit that he or she
need not be ashamed of, something
that others would be glad to see,
and that would add materially to
the general interest.
We are confident that the PEG.
pie of this county will manifest
the usual interest, in the display
and attendance at the coming
Fair.
