that no advantage results from telling

jealousy o. competition when we are
fortunate, and to crafty our enemies

TO disregard this theory IN all his pro-
etracted career as one of the greatest and
most successful of merchants.
Hon. Peter C. Brooks, of Boston, who
left one Of the largest fortunes ever
amased in this country, on being asked
what rule he would recommend to 8
young man as most likely to secure sue

business; and to a similar inquiry, it has
been said that Robert Lenox, of New

most distinguished merchants cyel

forehand with his business unless he
minds it.

Playing Ball.

We had in our school boy named Ben
Simmons, fat lubberly fellow, who al
ways had cold feet and was generally al
lowed to sit by the stove, tilted back in a
chair, and rest his feet against the upper
edge to keep them warm.
School was called The cold-foot Ben
Simmons was in his usual place, tilted
back in his chair, with his great boots on
the stove, studying his reading lesson, and
had the big dictionary in his lap looking
out hard word. The grammar class were
parsing.
The teacher stood in front of his desk
with one elbow resting on it, and the
other hand holding his parsing book.
Just at that moment Tom Rodgers ball
rolled out on the floor, not stopping until
it was within few inches of the teachers
feet. Without raising his eyes from his
book, he stopped leisurely, picked up the
audacious plaything, walked over to the
stove, opened the great door and threw it
in. The door swung to its place again,
and he strolled back to his desk.
He was just setting his elbow into its
former position, and suffering Sammy

Revolt of the German Democracy of
New York.
I From the Chicago Tribune


NEW YORK, September 1.-The Tam.
manyites feel very badly frightened con-
corning the great German disatfection, for
the leaders in the German opposition to
Hall and Connolly are men of ability, tact
and experience in political life, and they
are firmly sustained in their present posi-
ton by the mass of the German voters of
New York. The organization is powerful
and unit. At the head and front of the
Germans stands Oswald Ottenderfer, editor
OF the StGats-Zeitu,g, and Magnus Gross,
one of the ablest leaders of the Germans on
this side OF the Atlantic. Gerson n. Herr
mann, the coroner,is also popular. Alder
man Edward Sehlichting, of the Twentieth
Ward, has been made president of the
German Democratic Union Organization.
Nicholas Muller wrested the First Ward
from John Fox, and now controls it.
Herman G. Schroeder is chairman of
the Sixth Ward German Organization
Herman Steinmerman is leader in the
Eighth Ward, and Henry Shields in the
Fifteenth Ward. Herman Schroeder has
stumped this and other States, during the
campaign, in the Tammany interest. John
Landesman is the representative Of the
Sixteenth Ward. David NJ. Koepler is a
popular German IN the Twenty-first Ward,
who has organized large reform club,
composed of influential German voters of
the ward. DIR. Berckmann is a power in
the Tenth Ward, which has more German
voters than those of all other nationalities
combined. j. B. Schyemerger is well
known in the Eighteenth Ward. The Tam
many interest, led by John j. Bradley and
James M. Hennessy, will doubtless make a
bold effort to obtain the support of the
Germans in that senatorial district, as
James O'Brien intends to be candidate
for that office; but it will be an simpossi-
h;Iitv for them TO hOodwinlr this vear tbis
powerful German Democratic Union Cen
eral Committee, numbering over 300 dele
gates, representing $4,000 voters in all the
wards of the city and county of New York,
and composed of many of the best and
most prominent of our German citizens.
