- Sorrow comes soon enough without des-
pondency; it does a man no good to carry
around lightning-rod to attract troubles.
: Col. J. K. Kelley, who has been chosen
United States Senator from Oregon, in place Of
Williams, Republican, is native OF Pennsyl-
vania. In 1S49 he began the practice OF the
law in Lewistown, Mitflin county. Shortly at
terwards he was appointed district attorney for
the county, and acquired considerable reputa-
tion as lawyer. In 1850 he emigrated to
Oregon, which has been his home since that
period.
A wise old darkey in the southern part of
Kentucky came to his old master the day be-
fore the late election, and said he: "Mars
John, wants to vote the Democratic ticket
The fac is think de niggers ought to split up
anyhow. If we goes an votes Democratic; the
Radicals say we is ungrateful, an then the
League fines us five dollars an warns us. If
we votes Radical, de Ku Klux'll git us shore.
wants to divide like, so as to make it de in
trust OBJ bof parties to treat us kind and friend
ly." That darkey is statesman and philos-
opher.
1t is stated that since 1866 preparations
for the certainty of war with France have been
going on so thoroughly in Prussia that not q
railroad car even has been constructed either
in Prussia or any of its dependencies -Saxony,
Bavaria or Baden-in which the primary idea
of its construction has not been military capac-
ity and adaptation, rather than passenger or
merchandise traffic, and on every such car to-
day in use in Prussian Germany may be seen
distinctly marked the capacity Of the same for
so many men or so many horses.
= The champagne wine producing districts
of France, including the great depots OF
Rheims and Chalons, with their millions of bot
ties in store, having been occupied by the Ger
man armies it is pretty safe to say that for sew
eral years to come the supply of genuine cham
pagne to the outside world will be very short.
The years vintage of the champagne region
and the millions of bottles in store two months
ago in the great depots Of that region are all
gone, and the total loss to the vineyards, wine
makers and merchants directly concerned will
probably exceed twenty millions of dollars.
| - Switzerland, which gentleman now there
calls "an astonishing little country includes
separate states of four languages and two reli'
gions, and is united solely by love of its free
institutions. How will the war affect us is
all that the Swiss ask. On the French frontier
the French-speaking population fears France
and on the Prussian frontier, the German pop
ulation fears Prussia and in their hearts they
are quit willing that the two powers should sc
devour each other that neither shall have any
appetite for Switzerland This is cited as {
proof that common institutions and history, fal
more than race and language, are the bono
which unites people.
Every true man has some great central OBJ
| iect of life-some central career which he hon
estly desires honorably to fill. The world hate:
the profigate, the wanderer, one who has moth
ing himself to do, yet looks with scorn on hin
who labors for his daily bread. Honest labor
is holy Tis glorious thing! And that maj
who scorns to soil the tip of his fingers in tht
honest toll for bread and meat, is not worthy
that he consumes If a man finds his capabili
ties are not sufficient to enable him to occupy 9
place in the higher ranks Of the universal
workshop, let him work where he can; It's moi
unjust, tits not unlawful tits not unholy, for him
to long for what is above him, and strive for il
with all his might, if he be honest in his en-
deavors to reach the position to which his am
bition directs him.
