property for the new government buildings In this
city rendered verdict IN one OF the to-day,
and placed the compensation at $1,000 per foot
'front.' the lot running 200 feet deep to an alley
in the rear The estimates varied from
$500 to $1,soO per foot, and some Of
the most absurd claims were set up
by lessees for damages they would sustain II the
property was condemned. All this sort OF specu-
iatlon was scalped by Judge Ewing o week ago.
Mr.. William $. Groesbeck is one OF she property
owners OF the contemplated site, and he testified
that in his opinion the government ought to pay
1880 per foot for 1t. The verdict is popularity re-
garded as liberal allowance, but 1t sits with sim
gular unfitness upon the claimants, whom the gov
ernment offered to compromise with at $1,000
foot.

verdict and settled upon It's basis, and the same

we so often find unlettered statesmen,
philosophers, even, and good practica
business men without book education.
1t il the opportunity that often makes

Keep Your Promises.

Why not! Why make promises
you know you cannot fulfill? Why
make others which you never intend TO
redeem? Is any thing really gained BY
it in long run? Does it 60 to your
credit with business men? Does it ell.
evate person morally, socially or re.
ligiously? These are questions which
it may be well to consider, since the
fact exists that quite too many prom
ises are made only to be broken. And,
worse than all, thousand excuses are
manufactured in extenuation, which
are nothing more or less than SO many
ingenious falsehoods.
To make this matter more plain, if pos.
sible, let Us look at the every day prac.
tice among men IN society everywhere
Take for instance the smallest matter
of deal, ike the promise to deliver a
load of wood at given time, a few
potatoes, little butter, and the like O.
that, and how much reliance can be
placed upon a majority Of themY Think
it over candidly. and then tell US if
one in ten is faithfully kept.
On the other hand, ia Ike the promise
of the mechanic that he will furnish
you a cutter, sled, or even u wheel.
barrow at a given time, and how many
of these are promptly redeemed?
Think these things over and sift out
the facts, aud then let them answer.
And here, too. there is more Gin CON-
mitted in making excuses than in max
ing the original promises.
Now mark the difference in society
between the men who keep their prom.
Uses, and those who neglect them.
In the first place they get anything
they want--ean even borrow money in
the tightest times can ride safely
through any financial storm, aud they
are known and honored of oil men
In the next place they are almost uni
yersaily prosperous in business, whatev-
or may be its character; albeit, howev.
er, this class of men never engage in
any illegitimate business.
On the other hand, the man who is
notorious for negligence, aud especially
for neglectiug his promises in small
matters, is looked upon with distrust by
every body, aud he soon gains repu-
tation to be envied by none.
If you would succeed in life, if you
would gain the respect and confidence
Of nen--if you would have an approx
ing conscience, in short, if you would
have proper respect for yourself, your
family aud society at large, Keep your
promises.
