No young man can hope to rise in
society, or perform worthily his part
in life, without fair moral character.
The bassis Of such q character is a
virtuous, fixed sense Of moral obliga-
ton, sustained and invigorated by the
fear and love of God. The youth
who possesses such q character osn be
trusted. Integrity, justice, henevo-
lence, truth, are not, with him, words
without meaning he feels and knows
their sacred import, and aims in the
tenor of his lifetO exemplify the vir-
tues they express Such q man has
decision of character; he knows what
is right, and is firm in pursuing it !;
he thinks and acts for himself, and is
not TO be made the tool of unprinei-
pied and time-serying politicians to
do the dirty work of party. Such a
man has true worth CT character; his
life is a blessing to himself, to his
family, to society, and to the world I;
and lie is pointed out to future gener-
ations as proper example for the ris-
ing youth to emulate. .r.

Church Applause.

In Mr.. Beecher's church applause
has so often been given that it has
ceased to be a novelty But we here ii
now in many other places. The other
Sunday afternoon, in preaching at
the dedicatory services of st. Johns
Methodist Episcopal church, in this
city, Rev. DR.. Fowler, of Chicago, in
his most eloquent vein denounced
the eneroaohments of ROmanism, and
he was twice applauded by olapping
Of hands and stamping Of feet, in spite
of the sh-sh-ing of conservative
brethren. In the evening of the
same day, Rev. DIR. Joseph P. Thomp-
son happened to allude to the same
question, and, of course, spoke strong
ly and gradually upon it. His elO-
quence was too much for the decorous
disposition of the Tabernacle eOngre-
CATION, and they manifested their ap-
prevail by the most decided applause.
We do not know why applause should
be forbidden IN church. In ancient
times they said Amen, which is moth
Ing but a cheer. Why not let Eng
lishmen say, Hear, hear in church?
Why not let demonstrative and in
Americans say Amen with
the hands and feet?. We doubt not
many minister would preach better
If he had the stimulOus of such re-
spOnses.-l Independent.

The Utica Herald gives an account
Gf 3 singular balloon chase which oc-
CURED IN the clouds over Poughkeep-
sic. A Mr.. Squires and Miss Thurs

balloons. Squire assembled nearly to
the clouds, but seeing that Miss
Thurston was not following him very
fsstdescended to give her instructions.
Before he reached the young lady,
however, she threw out the contents
of two sand bags, aud shot up like q
rocket into the clouds, SQUIRE allow

into the clear sunlight. He says he
must have assembled nearly a mile
above the clouds before he caught
sight of Miss ThurstOn's ballo0n,
which was then at least four miles
above the earth, and looked TO him no
bigger than mans hat. In due time
both Of the aerial vOyagers made a
safe descent.

NEWTON, SEDwICK Co., KANSAS.
JULY 18th, 1871.
EDITOR CHRONICLE a
brief description of the thriving city
of Newton and its surrounding coun-
try, might interest you. 1t is situated
in the northwestern part of Sedwick
county, in the midst of large and
productive prairie, is at present, and
will remain for some time to come,
the turminus of the Atchisson, Tope-
ka & Santa Fee r. r.. where this road
intersects the great Texas cattle trail.
The iron horse made his first appear
ance on Monday last, and was hailed
with delight by the citizens of the
town. 1t is truly astonishing with
what rapidity this part of the state is
settling up. Ten weeks ago we had
two buildings finishing, hotel and
grocery; now we have one bank, five
hotels, four drygOOds stores, two hard
ware stores, twelve grocery stores,
three wholesale liquor stores, one fur
niture store, two clio hing stores, two
livery stables, eight saloons, one land
office, and dwelling houses and shops
to exceed one hundred and fifty build
ings, and the prospects are, if the
present. excitement keeps up, that the
town will double its population in one
month. The surrounding country is
fast settling up. Fhere is'lnt a claim
within ten miles but what is taken
up and will be settled upon this
coming fall; and we have no doubt
that in ten years this will be one of
the richest countries in the State, for
nature has provided a rich and fertile
soil, and all that remains to be done
is to till it and it will produce plenti-
fully. There are now cattle by the
tens of thousands feeding in this
vicinity, awaiting transportation from
this point to the east, as soon as the
r. Il. Co, have their stock yards COM
pleted, which are now being erected,
and are TO be the most extensive in
the State. d. r. B.

A Chicago youth fell in love with q
Colombo maid, whose father was so
opposed to the proceedings that he
drove the young man from his house
with wrath and a revolver. Upon
this the earnest youth had the stern
parent arrested for threatening his
life; and when the old gentleman
was safely locked up, by the judicious
use of q ten dollar bill, he induced
the same justice Of the peaae who had
imprisoned the father, to marry him
to the daughter. This done, the old
man was brought up for trial. when
he concluded to swap forgivness with
his enterprising son-in-law, who
thereupon magananimously WITH

The Cause of the rise In the Price Of


1. In the first place the price OF
wool has been exceedingly low for
several years past, so that it has not
been profitable in this country to
produce it. Hence our farmers have
to large extent, sold Off their sheen
and raised hogs instead. = The result
has been that in 1869 the wool clip
was twenty per cent. less than in
1888, and in 1870 twenty per cent less
again than in 1859. This alone might
not have materially effected the price.
but other things just now came in to
assist it. q
2. The recent war in Europe created
an extraordinary demand for soldiers
clothing. and a rapid consumption of
it by wear; while at the same time the
withdrawal of so many men from
labor diminished the production Of
wool, the sheep being slaughtered for
food instead of being kept to shear.
). The yellow fever in Buencs
Ayres has also stopped the shipment
Tor the present from that port of the
immense wool clip of Brazil. This
VIII soon cease to operate, but for the
moment it Is as If Brazil were shut
oct Of the market altogether.
4. Another element at work is the
abundant supply OF water this seas
on, enabling many mills TO run con-
stantly, which last year, owing to the
drouth, were stopped for long time.
This practically doubles the demand
for raw wool.
5. The great ease of the money
market cO-Operates with the previous
causes, and assists the rise by furnish
ing not only the regular dealers, but
outside spectators, with means to
buy and hold a large stock of wool
and keep it out of the market. If
money were tight and nobody bought
but the manufacturers, and they only
from hand to mouth to keep their
mills going, the scarcity Of the sup
ply would probably only cause a
slight advance in prices. As it Is,
there is a feverish desire to buy for
further rise, and this very desire,
while it lasts, brings about its own
apparent qualification.

THE TALE nP A FISH

There are over two hundred Ameri
can fishing smacks engaged in the
| Newfoundland cod and herring fisher.
| les this season, which is over twieG
| the number ever previously occupied
in the trade Of the colony. Large
shoals of maekereI have reached the
principal fishing stations along the
adjacent coasts of Newfoundland and
Labrador, and an abundant catch is
generally anticipated here.
1t may be remembered by the read
ers Of the Herald that few months
ago story was current in the New
York Journals to the effect that a sig
net ring. bearing the monogram ''P.
B., }" had been discovered by fisher
man, in the entrails of a goldfish
caught in Trinity Bay, n. +. The
fisherman. John Potter, kept the prize
in his possession until the 18th inst,
when he was requested in a letter
from the Colonial Secretary to send or
bring the ring to st. Johns, as he had
received letters from family named
RGFnam, in Poole, England, saying
that they had reasons to feel certain
that the ring once belonged to Pauline
Burman, who was one of the several
hundred passengers of the Allen
steamship Anglo Saxon, which was
wrecked Off Chance Cove, N. F. in
1861, the said Pauline Burman being
a relative Of theirs.
The fisherman in whose possession
the ring was, brought it to st, Johns
and presented 1t at the Colonial Seere-
tary's office. He was requested to
take a seat. After half an hours de-
lay the man Of hshlwas introduced tOan
elegantly dressed gentleman, Mr..
Burman', whom the Colonial Seoreta-
ry had sent for on the tisherman's ar
rival,
The ring was Immediately identi-
fed by Mr.. Burman, who called it
his mothers wedding ring, which she
had always worn since her marriage
in 1916.
The ring Was accordingly given up
to Mr.. Burman, who rewarded the
fisherman with bank notes amount
Ing to fifty pOnnds sterling.-N. Y.

THE .LAsT CANDLE.y

Well. It is n queer name, as You say,
For q minel and sounds funny TO read ;
But 10 all come about in this way:
You see that the boys disagreed
And divided the claim, and this bound
Fell to the share Of old kropp;
Then, there wasn't a hole in the ground;
Now, It's eight hundred feet from the topi
Was against him; but he hunted the
ledge,
And he worked at it early and late.
With his pick, and his crowbar and
Just as reg1ar as clockwork each day,
Through all the best years Of his life,
Till he hadn't penny TO pay
For loaf for his children and wlfei
And still he kept picking away:
And cursing his luck at each blast
That didn't bring out the pay
But his heart Kinder failed him at last,
For his children went hungry and cold,
And his wife, poor thing, she took sick:
But he kept up his hunt for the gold,
And stuck 10 the ledge and his pick!
Well, one morning he went down this hole;
I passed him right here, where We stand,
And knew that the game was bout up,
For he carried ''Colts' In his hand
And one candle, the last that he hadl
And saw by his eye. beyond doubt,
He'd strike il that day. or 20 madi
And he'd shoot when the candle went out!
So I watched at the top of the ground,
As heard him there, picking away;
And the candle burned low, and the sound
Ofthe pick was as clear as the day!
And thought I'd go down. just to see
What he'd do when the candle went out,
For thought he might listen to me;
When heard such a loud, crazy shout
The light was just fiickering again,
AS ! found him there, fiat on his face.
And his pick sticking fast in the veinf
For he'd struck in a mighty rich place
But he fought for his luck, you can see,
And here's the Last Candle right here,
And its owned by old Kropp and me,
And il pays us a million year!
