Safety of the Tennessee.

The Intelligence OF the safe arrival OF the
steamer Tennessee at San Domingo, given in
our extra this morning. caused q general feeling
OF relief throughout the city. We have never
doubted the safety OF the steamer, and have
throughout branded the rumors adverse to her
as cruel and groundless. A severe rebuke Is
deserved By those who, for partisan or mis-
chievous ends, have endesvored TO give cur
rency to the belief that the steamer had foun-
tleIed.

We should hope that the appeals made to
Washington business men in some OF the papers
hot TO be guilty OF extortion upon visitors at
carnival time are quite unneeded. 1t is desired
OF all things to make good name for wash
ington, and the people of Washington, by the
carnival festivities, and it would be most sui
cidsl policy TO give eur visitors the slightest
cause to complain that they were fieeced or
yierlcized here. But we have no idea that the
hint Is needed. The business people of the city
have shown general disposition to spend
money for the carnival rather than to make
money by ii. For the present they are casting
bread on the waters. When Washington city is
made permanently attractive through its gale
ties and comforts, and becomes a place of
national popular resort, then our citizens will
reap some adequate return for their outlay.
through the permanent growth and prosperity
OF the city. They do not propose to hazard
great ends by any pieayune policy Of over
charging the unfortunate visitors they NAV get
II their clutches on this occ aston.

Some Good Advice.

In a late number of Woods Household Mage
cine, Horace Greeley talks advisedly to young
men as follows:
1t is one of the privileges of those
who frankly confess that they are grow
ing old, to offer advice to their prospec-
tive successors ON the stage of action.
They feel that these are exposed to the
very temptations and errors which the
experience they have gained may be use
fui in enabling and arming those sue
cessors TO resist and avoid. He must he

sixty than he was at fifteen or twenty /;
he must be intensely corrupt il his pas

whose locks are whitening with the
"snow that never melts," to those wh)

q. NEVER DE ASHAMED OF FPUGALrTr.
--OstentatiOn is a prevalent American
folly. Most Of us woald fain be thought
richer ;han we are. Thousands incur
expenses that they are scarcely able to
meet through fear Of being thonght stin-
gy or penniless, when they might better
confess their poverty and 'aYe their
money. "I cannot afford it, British
duke will sometimes say, when asked
why he does not incur this or that ont
lay; meaning, not that he has not snffi.
cient money, but that be has devoted
his income to other uses. The vulgarity
which makes a boast of poverty is
scarcely more rcprebensible than that
which fools away money in order to
seem Indifferent TO, or reckless Of ex-
pense. Fear to be mean if you will, but
never to seem so if your circumstances
or your duty counsels frugality.
8. HUsDASD YoUR TINE. Of all our
prodigalities, the squandering Of hours
and days is most universal aud perni-
cious. Three. .fourths of Our race lavish
their hours as though this life were to
last forever, and the waste Of to-day
might readily be renewed by the dill
gence Of tomorrow ; when, in fact, a
lost is rarely redeemed and never recov-
cred. And / judge the waste Of time in
youth more prevalent than in later years.
Young friend keep watch over yours 2!
If could only persuade you to set
down in a diary each night the wasted
hours Of each day, l am sure that rehec-
| ton and Iemorse would soon work out
in you radical reform.
