Stewart, Schenck, and the Emma Mine.

Senator Stewart of Nevada was interviewed in New York on his return from Europe by a of the Cincinnati Commercial, m regard tO the connection of General Schenck with the Emma mine. The Senator IS also member of the directory of that company. His version of the affair does not improve its aspect. He charges that the whole agitation on the subject originated in the malisnity of enemies displayed through the columns of two London rebel shccts-the Economist and Daay Telegraph" We fail to see what the former sentiments of two London papers have to d0 with the matter, and the entire answer is too much like that which Mayor Hall gave to the charges of the New York Times. The facts are admitted, and they leave the case little worse than 1t was be- fore, inasmuch as it now appears that General Schenck was not a shareholder in the Emma mine when he went to England, as had been supposed. He paid for his share in it with his note, which is the ordinary mode of ac- cepting stock for the use of one's name. He raDdidly ConfcSsgs shat he knows nothing Oi the mine, and sends all who inquire of hm on the subject Co others better informed, and Sautiutis t.lu>e wHo HriJc fo hun, Decsuse, as he very iustiy remarks. mines are deceptive, And Yet be knew that bis name was adycr- tiscd conspcuously to give strength 10 the appeal ot the company for subscription to its shares. lie consented reluctantly to the use of his name, after being told that "t the place pressed upon him was merely nominal" When he found that it was pressed upon him for the purpose of attracting unwilling capi- tai to a "deceptiye" scheme, he should have withdrawn his name at once. Mir. Stewart says that the General is 'too brave and up right to resign the dircctorship under the fire of abuse and malevolence," but the original appeals to him to get out of bad scrape
 were anything bnt malevolent or abusive. The Senator says that General Schenck ''nevcr did mean thing in his life," and this all may be true without proving that he has not committed very injudicious act in ac- cepting the directorship and trusteeship of the Emma mine, or that his position is not constantly becoming more scandalous by his persisting in the wrong course.--Boston Ad- rertiser, Dec. l5.

SAFETY KEROSENE LaMP.-A correspond ent of the Scieaiifc Amerioaa gives the fol- lowing directions for using kerosene lamp so as to insure perfect safety. The plan prom 'ses well, and is worthy of trial: "I cram all all the wick that possihly can into the lamp, III up the lnterstices with sponge, and satu- . h s'e 'ne whole thoroughly with kerosene. I have always found the supply sufficient for me longest winter night as long as any oil ,esaihs m the wick the lamp keeps burning , nave had this fairly tested One of my h'ue ones-a two-year old--contrived to up- set small table supporting lamp. With the exception of breaking the glass n. further damage was done, not even .oiI;ng the carpet, In fact, my plan was brought about oy similar accident, and narrow es- cape from serions damage.

How to Judge . Newspaper.

To that class of people who estimate the value of newspaper wholly upon the amount of original matter winch it contains, We com mend the following from the Literary Jouraal:
 It is comparatively an easy task for frothy writer to pour out daily columns of words-words upon any and all subjects. His ideas may flow in one week, washy, everlast- ing food, and his command of language may enable him to string them together like punches of onions, and yot his paper may be q meagrc anal poor concern. Indeed, the mere writing part of editing a paper is but a small portion of the work. The care, the time employed in selecting, is far more i'm portant, and the tact of good editor is bet ter shown by his selections than anything else; and that we all know is half the bat tie, but as we have said, an editor ought to be estimated and his labors understood and appreciated by the general conduct of his paper-its tone, it's temper, its uniform, con sistent course, its aims, its manliness, its pro- priety, its dignity. To preserve these as they should be preserved is enough to occupy fully the time and attention of any man. II to this bc added the general supervision of a newspaper establishment, which most editors have to encounter, the wonder Is how they can find time to write at all.

A Truthful Sketch

Let man fail in business, what an eff
ect it has on his former creditors Men
who have taken him by the arm, laughed
and chatted with him by the hour. shrug
their shoulders, and pass on with a cold
"How do you do?"
Every trife of bill is hunted up and
presented, that would not have seen light
for months to come, but for the mistor-
tunes of the debtor. If it is paid, well
and good: if not. the scowl Of the sher-
if perhaps meets him at the corner. A
man who has never failed knows but lit
tie of human nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently,
waited by by favorable smiles and kind
words from everybody. He prides him
self on his name and spotess character,
and makes his boasts that he has not al
enemy in the world. Alas the change.
He looks at the world in different light
when reverses come upon him. He reads
suspicion on every brow. He hardly
knows how to move, or to do this thing
or the other; there are spies about him,
writ is ready for his back. To know
what quality of stuff the world is made
of, person must be unfortunate, and
stop paying once in his lifetime. If he
has kind friends, then they are made
manifest. A failure is moral seive, it
brings out the what, and shows the chat.
A man thus learns that words and pre-
tended goodwill are not and do not con-
stitute real friendship

TO MAKE A GOOD COLLECTOR

Be on time to minute when the
debtor says, come tomorrow at 9
O'clock"
Sit on his steps and wait for his return
when he says, Il am just going to din
ner.
Insist on stepping out to make change
when the man has nothing less than a
twenty"
Go to an "old stager" every day for a
month with q cheerful countenance
"about that little account"
Don't mind edging into crowd to ask
fellow.
Take dollar in part if you can't get
ten in whole, and credit it, with alac-
rity.
Always suggest :. check when money
is not in hand, as he can get it cashed
tomorrow.
Always have that account con top,
so the man can make no excuse for put
ting you off.
Don't mind asking for it Immediately
after being treated '-or pleasantly en-
tertainod.
Never be in hurry, II will wait till
you get through"
Cough or saluiu when the ''hard case"
wants to pass without seeing you.
In fne--be patient as a post, cheerful
as duck, sociable as a flea, bold as a
lion, weatherproof as a rubber, cunning
as fox, and watchful as a sparrow
hawk.

DIED OF WHISKY.

of wealth and genius, would appear the
words died Of whisky"
How sad and disgraceful the record
What volumns are condensed into three
words Read them, ponder them, be
warned by them. They viii give food
Tor thought. They tell of character
ruined, money squandered, families beg

sotted, soul lost They will recall men,

how many stare up az memory bidding
TO attest the fact. Young men OF fine
talents and brilliant promises; men OF
mature years and the best capacity tor

frequently learn the value of a good hus-
band for the first time by the loss Of him.
Yet the husband is the very roof tree of
the house, the cornerstone Of the edi-
ace, the keystone Of the arch called

family, the cdifce, and its glory, the be-
ginning and ending of the golden chain
Of life which surrounds it, its CONSIDER,
It's lawgiver and its king. And yet we
see how frail that life is, on which SO
much depends! How trail is the life OF
husband and father! When he is ia

When he is i'll, what gloomy clouds how

what darkness, weeping, agony Then

Ike furnishing wolf bowls at the door.
Widowhood is too often an associate of
sackcloth and ashes. Orphanhood, too,
means desolation and woe.
