The following incident in the ca
reer of James Fisk, jr., illustrates
his fertility of resource when closely
concerned by powererful opponent.
Vanderbilt had grown jealous of
Fisk and determined to crush him.
The readiest way to do that, he
thought, would be by destroying
the business of the Erie road. With
this end in view he issued an order
lowering the rates of freight from
Chicago, and asked Erie 10 do like
wise. Fisk assented and consequent
y cattle were brought from tho west
in great numbers and at small cost.
By special agreement the rates on
the Vanderbilt line and on Fisk's
were made uniform. After a few
weeks, however, Nanderbilt showed
his hand. Giving the Erie officers
short notice, he broke faith with
Fisk and announced that for twen-
" days the freight on the Central
railroad for cattle from Chicago
would be Sl.50 a head instead of 81.
He expected to crush Erie by this
move, but he reckoned without
Fisk. The latter made no alteration
in the rate of the Erie road, but
quietly directed his agent IA the
west to purchase 40, 600 head of cat
tie and send them by Vanderbilts
route. The cattle were soon pur-
chased, and Fisk had the pleasure of
seeing Vanderbilt carry freight for
him for less than the cost of running
the trains. OF course the commO-
dore soon grew tired of fighting
against such odds, and the rates
were again raised to those of Erie.
Fisk cleared 100000 by this opera
tion direct from the Central. But
this was not the full extent of the
damage done the commodore. When
the Central was blocked with Fisk's
10000 head of cattle, the Erie was
open and carrying other freight -
its own rates.

Extract from VIM. NJ. Cartoons Poem.
THE MODEL sUBSCRIBER.

Good morning, sir; Mr.. Editor, how are
the folks to-day?
I owe you for next years Spectator,
thought ia come and pay.
And Jones is agoin' to takei it, and this is his
money here;
| shut down lendin' it to him, and then
coaxed him to try it year.
And here is 4 few little items that happen
ed last week in our town;
thought they'd look good for the paper,
and so just iOtted 'em down..
And here is a basket Of cherries my wife
picked expressly for you;
And a small bunch of flowers from Jennie
she thought shemust send something too
You're doing the politics bully, as all Of cur
family agree;
Just keep your ole goose-quill flappin' and
give 'em one for me.
And now you are chuck full Of business,
and won't be taking your time.
Pve things of my own I must tend to
good-day, sir, believe will cline"
The Editor sat in his santum and brought
down his fist with a thump,
"God bless that old farmer,'' he muttered,
"he's a regular jolly old trump"
And tits thus with our noble profession, and
thus it will ever be still;
There are some who appreciate its labor, and
some who perhaps never will,
But in the great time that is coming, when
GabrIePs trumpet shall sound,
And they who have labored and rested shall
come from the quivering ground,
When they who have striyen and suffered,
to teach and ennoble the race,
Shall march at the front of the column, each
one in his God-given place,
AS they march through the gates Of The
City, with proud and victorious tread
The editor and his assistants viii not travel
far from the head.

what WhiskeY Docs.

A man who was an habitual
drunkard died recently in New
York under such circumstances as
render a corners inquest necessary
y post mOrtem examination dis
closed the fact that the blood was
large mixed with alcohol. The It's
sues were penetrated with it, and
the coroner declared that the heart
smelled as though stepped in alcohol.
This is in accordance with we'll
known nature of the fluid and the
office of the assimilating organs
of human the system. The stOm-
ach is the reservoir where the
products for nutrition are deposited
and where the important process of
digestion commences. Neither in
the stomach or elsewhere is alcohol
recognized by the tissues as a friend.
They rebel at its introduction,
whether it be in the fiery brandy or
chop beer" and the substance re-
mains alcohol all through.-Meat,
bread, and all the ordinary articles
of food are reduced to a homogene-
GUS mass; alcohol, however, refuses
to coalesce, maintains its individu-
ality and is diffused through the
system in a pure state. 1t goes to
| the brain and nerve centres and
| there spends its force, irritating the
| fine, delicate tissues, in many cases
developing partial insanity for the
time being. The fiery irritant is en-
hanced in its deadliness by the
| poison mingled with it.

Illinois.

The Peoria Reciet0 prints this
plain story:-Springtield has just
had a sensation. A former State
official, and a man who has occupied
high positions, not only in the COM
mOnWealth, but in tthe nation, has
been on a prolonged spree for some
days in he classic precincts. On
Friday he visited Bunn's banking
house, and demanded fifty dollars.
1t was refused, whereupon he abused
the teller like a pick-pocBet, and
had to be elected. He visited a
saloon and asked for a drink Of
whisky. The bartender told him
that he had none, whereupon he
grew so violent that he was put out
by force. Drunken, friendless, and
an oUtcast such is the fate Of one
who aspired to be President of the
United States. He is now a perfect
wreck, and even his friends have
come to the conclusion that the on
ly service he can render is to die.
Whisky has sWamped him as it has
many others. Poor Dick Yates.

A word win young Men.

1t is as easy to be rich man as a
poor one. Half the energy display
ed in keeping ahead that is required
TO catch up when behind, would
save credit, give more time to at
tend to business, and add to the
profit and reputation of those who
work for gain. Honor your engage
ments. If you propose to meet a
man or do a thing at a certain mo-
ment, be ready at the appointed
time. If you 90 into business, at
tend promptly to the matter in
hand, then as promptly so about
your business.
Do not stop to tell stories in bust
ness hours.
Ifyou have a place of business, be
found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by setting around stores
and saloons. Never "foOl'' on busi-
ness matters. Have order, system,
regularity, liberality, promptness.
Do not meddle in business you know
nothing of. Never buy an article you
do not need, simply because ii is
cheap. and the man who needs it
will take it out in trade. Trade is
money.
Strive to avoid harsh words and
personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path; more miles can be
made in a day by going steadily on
than by stopping to Kick. Pay as
you go. A man of honor respects
his word as he does his bond. Aid,
but never beg. Help others when
you can but never give what you
cannot afford to. simply because il
is fashionable. Learn to say mol No
necessity for swapping it out dog
fashioned, but say it firmly and re-
spectfully.
Have but few confidants, and the
fewer the better.
Use your own brains rather than
those of others. Learn TO think and
act for yourself. Be vigilant. Keep
rather ahead than behind the times.
Young man, cut this out, and il
there be folly in the argument, let
US know.

Rising In the world.

You should bear constantly in
mind that nine-tenths of US are,
from the very nature and necessities
of the world born to earn our iveli-
hood by the sweat of our brow.
What reason have we then, to pre-
sumo that our children are not to
do the same? If they be-as now
and then one viii be-endowed
with extraordinary powers of mind,
those powers may have an Oppor-
tunity of developing themselves;
and as they never have that oppor-
tunity, the harm is not very great to
US or to them.
Nor does it hence follow that the
descendants of labOrers are always
to be laborers. The path upward
is steep and long, to be sure. In
dustry, care, skill, excellence IN the
present parents lay the foundation
of rise; and by and by the descen-
dants of the present laborer be-
come gentlemen.
This is the natural progress. 1t is
by attempting to reach the top at a
| single leap that so much misery
is produced in the world; and the
propensity to make such attempt
has been cherished and encouraged
by the strange projects that we have
! witnessed of late years for making
! the labOrers Yirtuous and happy by
| giving them what is called educa-
| ton. The education l speak of con-
sists in bringing up children to labor
with steadiness, and with skill; to
show them how to do as many use
ful things as possible, to teach them
how to do them all in the best man.
ner; to set them an example of in
dustry, sObriety, cleanliness and
neatness; to make all these things
habitual to them, so that they shaI
never be liable to fall into the con
trary practices; to let them alway:
see a good living proceeding from
labor, and thus to remove from
them the temptation to get at tht
goods of others by violence OF
| fraudulent means and to keep fal
from their minds all the induce
ments to hypocrisy and deceit.

The British Civil Service

Lord Peterborough, whose death
has just been announced, was one of
the last holders of 'patient places, F"
than which no more patient scandal
ever existed. His grandfather was
a bishop, and his father a famous
judge, the man whom Lord Macau-
lar terms "the bold and strong
minded Law" Law was q great
lawyer and the terror of timid bar
risters. He it was who, when a
member of ''the sucking bar" fall
| tered, ''my unfortunate client, my
! lord" reiOined. "The court is with
you there, SIR" He had an awful
| temper. and was much more feared
than loved, but had great political
as well as legal weight, was the last
chief justice who enjoyed seat in
the cabinet, and one of the very few
to whom such a distinction was ev-
er granted. The prize piece of pa
trOnage in the gift of the chief JUS
tice used to be the sinecure office of
clerk of the court of Queens bench
$55,000 a year-for doing nothing
but signing receipts for pay. For
! the reVersiOn of this, Lord Ellenbo-
rough was offered 100000, but he
preferred keeping it for his son,
who just died. When the news
reached him of the vacancy in the
| office, he was on horseback. Forth
with dismounting, he then and
there, with the pencil in his pocket,
wrote his sons appointment to the
office, making the seat of his saddle
his table, and his groom witnessed
] his SIGNATURE. The son drew about
| 81, 100000 from this Office, and as he
further held for many years the of
flee of governor-general of India,

| Briggs; "but if you really wish IL,
dear Mr.. Brown, II don't think l
will object"
] And She dropped q plump little
I hand on Mr.. Browns.
Good gracious! The perspiration
I broke out over Mr.. Browns fore
head as he began to comprehend
what the little widow imagined he
l meant. took out his handkerchief
/ to wipe it, and made nervous effort
to explain.
'rMy dear Mrs. Briggs, II am
sure-I-you honor me highly-I-
At this moment there came a rap
at the door, and Mrs. Briggs sprang
hastily up to open it.
| She held a moments conversation
with the person standing outside,
and then turned to Mr.. Brown and
said, sweetly:
'.My dear, l must 20 out a mo-
ment. II you will wait here we
win discuss this subject when l re-
turn"
And with q smile as bright as a
May morning she left poor Brown
alone with his reflections.
! He sprang up and began to pace
the room to try TO see a way out Of
his dilemma. If Mrs. Briggs had
remained a moment longer he GER
tainly would have explained mat
ters, but left to himself, he began 10
wonder whether il might not be

He was the soul Of chivalrous

little widows feelings by explain

be delightful if all the bOlrders
were gone, and-the widow was a
nice little body; and she had called
him ''my dear" so sweetly.
And, in short, by the time MIRA.
Briggs brought her blushing face
back into the little room, Mr.. Brown
had decided that this was an inter
| ference of Providence in his behalf,
and he would be grateful and abide
by it.
And as it happened that when lit
tie Mrs. Briggs became Mrs. Bascom
Brown all the boarders were dis
missed-of course the musical young

Brown was allowed to pass the rest
of his days in undisturbed felicity.
