A False idea.

A mistaken idea is that entertained by
many that riches are necessary to perfect
happiness. 1t is scarcely necessary to
state fact SO well understood, that many
men and women, possessed of grea.
wealth, are exceedingly unhappy. A
thousand things occur in the fluctuations
and busy scenes of life to bring sorrow
and discomfort to the homes of the rich
as well as those of the poor. 1t is in
the homes of people of moderate means,
as rule, that happiness is found
"Put money in thy purse" said the
mercenary and selfish Iago. In bis esti-
nation. lucre was the magic key to hap
pinesss, to position and power-to all
that is desirable on earth. Get riches.
1t is false, that fatal sentiment; delu-
sion and snare. Such teachings have
been the ruin Of thousands of young
men of the highest promise.
A good name is to be preferred to
great riches. SO runs the proverb, and
the history Of the human race is the ver-
ifcation of it, truth.
The highest riches co not consist in
princely income; there is greater wealth
than this 1t consists in good constitu-
ton, good digestion, good hsart, stout
limbs, sound mind and clear conscience.
Some one says good bones are better
than gold, tough muscles than silver. and
nerves that fash fire, and carry energy
to every function, are better than houses
and lands. Better than money is good
disposition and that man is rich who
has generous impulses, noble SOUL and
who is hopeful and cheerful, and who has
the moral courage to keep the even tenor
of his way, whatever may betide him.
Such rlan is rich. though not accounted
so when m, a=ured by money standard
but be stands in,measurably higher IN
point Of true ssor;h to the sordid, avari-
cious cormorant whose only claim to con-
sidera.on consists ia his money bags.

The Loomia Aerial Photograph


The bill incorporating the Loomis
Aerial Telegraph Company was
passed by the Uunited States Sen
ate last week, and needs but the
Presidents signature to become a
law. This aerial telegraph scheme
is novel thing. The plan of DIR.
Loomis, the inventor, is to telegraph
from a high Peak of the Rocky
Mountains to the highest attainable
peak of the Alps, at which point a
tower is to be erected, on the top of
which huge mast is to be placed.
An apparatus capable of collecting
electricity is to be put upon the up
per end of this mast by means of
which. at such elevation, it is claimed
a strata of the atmosphere will be
reached which is charged with cleo
tricity. Ground connections, the
same as in ordinary telegraph, will
be erected. This electrified strata
of the atmosphere will, as with the
ordinary single wire and ground
connection, make a complete circuit,
and it is claimed that the slightest
pulsation of electricity at one tower
will produce a similar pulsation at
the other
The company is to have a capital
stock Of two hundred thousand dol
lars with the privilege of increasing
the same to two millions if the inter
ests of the com pany require it. The
business and objects of the corpora
tors are stated il the bill to be to
develop natural electricity, to be US
ed in telegraphing, generating light,
heat, and motive power, and other
wise, and operate any machinery run
by electricity for any purpose.
