New ORLEANS June s, 1872.
The Reform Convention met at noon precisely.
The Convention was called to order, when Colonel
Hill resigned his seat Vice President, and Mr.
Lewis Banks colored) elected in his place.
The Committee on Conference then made their
report which identical with that presented
to the Democratic Convention spirited
debate now sprung up, the tenor OF which
was against any coalition with the democrats,
whom they nervously suspect OF intending to swal-
low them. This feeling did not however, seem to
be shared in generally, being principally confined

Another resolution was offered and adopted pro-
viding for q conference with the liberal republican
party, and the Convention then adjourned.
The evening session was short ana without espe-

HOW mol CONMENCE BuSMESs.

There are many young men who
are in the habit of exeusing their
idleness and inefieiency with the
plea that they can do nothing without
capital. The lack of means is the
ready reply they make to every ap-
peal to action. They imagine that
they possess in themselves all the
prerequisites to success except capital.
If they only had capital, in addition
to their other imagined UirtHes, they
would do great things in the world /;
they would grow TO astonish the
natives with the bOldness and bril-
liapey of their enterprise. They would
become immensely itch, and lay the
world under perpetual obligations to
them by the magnifieenee of their
benefactions. This is the way they
think and talk, and they roll the vain
glorious idea over in their minds
until they come to imagine that the
world is an immense loser by their
poverty.
These persons forget one important
fact-that all capital is the product of
labor. That nearly all rich men in
this country were once poor. That
nearly every personal fortune they
can enumerate is either the product
of its owners toll and skill, or the
representative Of his fathers toll and
skill.
How did the makers of these for
tunes get along without capital? Had
they spent the vigor Of their youth in
idle and foolish lamentations over
their poverty, they would have lived
and died poor, and left nothing but
an inheritance of honesty behind
them. Capital allied to labor and
skill can work wonders in the war of
material enterprises. But money Is
not the only indispensable thing to
young men. There are other kinds
of capital besides accumulated money;
brains, muscle, industry, honesty,
diligence, truth, fidelity, skill, tact,
education-dH these are capital, and
all of them have a commercial value,
which the owner viii be able, sooner
OF later, to command in the market.
Provided with these, any young man
in this country may make more than
he needs to spend every year, and
thus have something at the end OF
each year to invest as money capital.
If he needs money let him go to work
and make it, and thus give proof Of
his ability to use it profitably and
judiciously. If we go into any great
city, or into any prosperous sgricul-
tural district, we find the capitalists
are those who have made their for
tunes without any outside aid. They
did not waste their time in repining
at their poverty, and in silly dreams
of what they could do II they had the
money to do it with. They went
boldly and resolutely to work; they
toiled and thought and planned, and
kept tOiling and thinking and plan
ming, patiently, until at last they
grasped the fortunate moment, and
succeeded. Exchange.

A REMARKABLE MAN.

There IS now living in Preston,
Lancashire, England, and working
hard every day, a man whose like is
not often to be met with named Frank
Bradley. He was born at Drumbeg,
in Ireland, in 1875, and is, consequent
ly, ninety-six years old. Notwith-
standing his advanced age, Bradley
still works hard. and thinks nothing
of mounting ladder and going three
or four stories high with a hOdful Of
bricks on his shoulder. He was twen-
ty-two years old when the Irish re-
6ellion Of last century took place. For
some years he was q farm laborer In
Ireland. He was afterwards, for eight
years, a soldier in the % Royal Regi-
ment of foot, and fifty-four years he
has cared his livelihood as a brick
layers laborer. He has been married
twice, aud has been the father of fif-
teen sons and five daughters-nine
sons and two daughters during the
first marriage, and six sons and three
daughters in the second. Most of his
sons have served in the British army.
His second wife, still alive, is q little
younger than his eldest son, who Is
sixty-fours of age. The old man is
hale and hearty, has nearly all his
teeth, has lost none of his hair Of his
head, and looks likely to live for years.

THE Art DE nYRNG.

Dyeing was practiced successfully
in India, Egypt, Persia, China, and
Syria at the earliest periods Of which
any mention is made in recorded
history. Cloths were dyed purple,
scarlet, yellow, and blue by some if
not all of these nations. Tyre and
SidOn, long before the time Of Hero
dotus, were the centres Of great indus
tries, and dyeing was their principal
occupation, and added greatly to their
commercial wealth.
1t is claimed that slave living in
Tyre accidentally discovered the
Tyrian purple so long and justly eels-
brated, and which was first made
known about 1 500 years BIC The
dye was obtained from q species of
shell fish found on the shores of the
Mediterranean Sea. Plutareh relates
that at the taking of Susa by the
Greeks, commanded by Alexander
the Great, they found in the treasury
Of King Darius purple cloth Of great
value, which retained its beauty,
although 1t had lain there one hun
dred and ninety years. The secret OF
this beautiful color was also known
to the Romans bnt it is now num-
bered among the lost arts. In the
time OF the Roman Empire the i'm
perial family were alone allowed the
privilege of wearing purple. During
the reign of Theodore there were but
two manufactures of purple fabrics
known. One was at Tyre, and the
other at ConstantinOple. The former
was destroyed by the Saraeens, and
/ the Turks.
Alexander, previous to the sailing
of his fleet for the conquest of India,
/ had the sails of his vessels dyed diff
ferent eolors, and since his time the
red flag at the top of the mast has
always denoted the AdmiraPs ship.
1t was during the reign of this King
that the Greeks made great profici-
ency in dyeing black, blue, yellow
and green. 1t is certain that the
aneients were we'll acquainted with
the use of mordants; and copperas,
alum, carbonate of soda and sulphate
of copper were used for this purpose
/ Beside woven fabrics the aneients
also eolored the skins of animals that
were used for leather. Moses mentions
such as having been dyed red, purple
and scarlet. In Rome a married
woman was distinguished from a
maiden by being allowed to wear a
! yellow veil and shoes, which the
latter were not allowed to put on in
public. The eombatants in the arena
at a later period wore leathern belts
of the blended colOrs of green, blue,
ash gray, and orange
It is quite certain that most of the
Eastern nations were indebted to
India for much information in regard
to dyeing as well as many other OF
the arts and sciences. The process of
giving cotton cloth beautiful maddeT
red was first discovered in that eOun-
tIy, and was subsequently known by
the name of fAndrianople.-DTyGOod

RnuCATION on THE TOEs.

Japanese, Chinese ar tisans, and Be
douin Arabs are almost quadrumanal, ,
as from continued practice they use
their toes nearly as readily as their
fingers. Short and eFamped as they
are in our stiff leather shoes, we have
scarcely any will-power over them
But Chinese and Japanese workmen
actually pick up tools with their toes,
and work with them thus handled,
while other operations are conducted
with other instruments In their hands.
We have often seen ehisels held by q
long handle with the left hand, while
the toes guided the cutting edge in
turning beautiful forms in lathe, in
ConstantinOple. Workmen there are
always seated on the ground, even in
planning q board. Arabs braid ropes
with their toes and fingers laboriBg
in concert. IL is therefore positively
certain the toes may be educated to
act with rapid movements By prac.
tice they become obedient to vOlition,
and yet wise physiological authors
hardly admit the possibility of teach
ing muscles to act just as millions of
mechanics in those distant countries
have been exercising their toes thrO'
hundreds of Asiatic generations. So
much for theoretical science.

EXPERT CARVING.

Hue, who Dy extended explorations
of a section of the habitable globe
scarcely known save by its name be
tween Tartary and China, gives many
extraordinary accounts of customs
and manners peculiar to the people,
which strangely contrast with our
civilization. On one occasion he
came upon a Mongol encampment.-
Being kindly received, he purchased
a sheep of native. A Mongol butch
er slaughtered the animal with such
surprising despatch as to ast0nish the
good Catholic Father. But the eli
max was when, with a long knife, the
butcher drew out the entire skeleton
from the flesh without fraeturing or
doing violence to a single bone. They
are so expert in that particular art,
which amounts almost to science,
knowing as they do each bone, Its
name and exact pOsitiOn-the frame
OF an OK orany other animal IS treated
in the same manner with unerring IA
eility. As Turks use neither knives
nor forks, they have the skill 70 jerk
out the bones of a fowl when placed
upon the table, with similar adroit-
ness. leaving the bedy in its original
form. Their knowledge of anatomy,
however, falls Immediately below that
of the Mongols, who practice dissec-
tions on worthless carcasses for the
purpose Of aseertaining how they are
constructed.

The Unwearied Action Of the Heart.

The effect of everything that touch
es the heart is multiplied by the in
tensity of the hearts own changes. -
Hence il is that it is 50 sensitive, so
true an index of the body's state.
Hence, also, it is that it never wearies.
Let me remind you of the work done
by our hearts in day. A mans total
outward work, his whole effect upon
the world in twenty-fOur hours, has
been reekoned about $50 fOot-tons.
That may be taken as q good "hard
davis work. During the same time
the heart has been working at the rate
of 40 foOt-tons. That is to say, If all
the pulses Of a day and night could be
concentrated and welded into one
great throb, that thrOb would be
enough to raise ton of iron 10 feet
into the air. And vet the heart is
never weary. Many of US are tired
after but feeble labors few of us can
hold a poker out at arms length
without, after few minutes, dropping
It. But a healthy heart, and many
an unsound heart, tOO-though some
times you can tell in the evening, by
its stroke, that it has been thrown of
its balance by the turmoils and wor-
ries of life-gOes on beating through
the night when we are asleep, and
when We wake in the morning We
find it at work, fresh as if it had only
lust begun to beat. 1t does this be-
cause upon each stroke of work there
follows a period, a brief but a real
period Of rest; because the next stroke
which comes is but the natural sus-
pense Ct that rest, and made to match
it; because, in fact, each beat is, in
force, in scope, in character, in every
thing, the simple expression Of the
hearts own energy and state-Apple-
