Making and Enjoying Money,


All men may come 10 com.
petence, not all men to wealth
or riches. Nearly all men,
Henry Ward Beecher says, who
go into the field expecting
great riches are doomed TO dis
appointment. For there is a
genius for earning 10 some men
who have not the genius for
keeping what they have earn
ed. There are some men that
will make money anywhere and
anyhow. Of those that will
make money there are proba-
bly, but lew who naturally
know how to keep 1t. Alas,
there are a great many good
men who do not know how to
keep it. The power of money
making is not in ratio 10 the
general thinking power. A
man,may be able 10 think as a
geographer, or as a historian,
or as a mathematician and yet
not be able to make money
To look at things and see their
scientific relation is one thing
and 10 see their marketable re-
lation is another. Many men
have that ability, and such men
will amass large property with
great facility. The great ma
jority of mankind will, howev.
er, amass only a competence,
or enough to satisfy their daily
wants, Tor The education OF
their household, and perhaps IA
little over, and that IS all. But
that is enough. If a man does
not find he Is amassing money,
let him not despair. A man
may be very happy and yeI
not very rich. Indeed to be
very itch Is not The royal road
to happiness just DOW. 1t does
not require near so much as
many imagine. Only about as
much has a direct relation to
the general happiness OF the
possessor. The rest Of the
property, if there be more, re-
lates 10 the injury OF the owner
| think a German or a French
man will extract more happi-
ness out Of an income oil $1,000
a year than an ordinary Amer
lean will out of $4,000. l
think We do not know how to
use it for The production Of
happiness. This is an art yet

friend found him on his 'arm in

examiner said that he would
propose a problem, and if he
would solve it satisfactorily he
would grant him a certificate
Having agreed to this, a new,

posed, solved satislactorily,and
The certificate granted. In this

nounced that something like fifteen
thousand dollars had already been sub
scribed. Letters of apology from those

Prominent Bankers Propose to Fund
the New LOan-Authentic State-
ment Of the Agreement
Entered Into.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-There
was a large conference at the Treasury
Department this afternoon between the
Secretary and the representatives OF
prominent banking firms, who have
made proposals to fund the new loan.
After a lengthy discussion and a thor
Ough understanding between the gentle
men representing the firms below men,
toned an agreement was made, Ofwhich
the following is an authentic statement
The parties to the two proposals which
have been pending before the Secretary
OF the Treasury having united, the Sec
retary has this afternoon completed a
contract for the negotiation of the re-
naming three hundred million five per
cent. funded loan with Messrs. Jay
Cooke q Co., representing Il. NJ Roths-
child & Sons, Messrs. Jay Cooke, Nc
Culloch & Co. and themselves, and with
Messrs. Morton, Bills & Co. and Drexel,
Morgan & Co, representing Messrs.
Barring Brothers & Co., Messrs ]. s..
Morgan & Co., Morton, Roset & Co,
and themselves.
1t is learned that the first intention of
the Secretary was to announce one hum
dred millions, but after further consid-
Grafton it was decided to place the whole
amount at three hundred millions; and
parties representing the firms already
mentioned combined and agreed to take
between them the entire amount. The
agreement between the Government
and the syndicate is Substantially the
same as that which attended the old syn-
dieate, though the particulars could not
be officially ascertained. tits understood
that few slight notifications have on
" been made, and they are In favor of
the Treasury Department. The business
OF the syndicate will be commenced as
soon as preliminary arrangements can
be made for that purpose.

of their votes on the Senate

Loss Of the Emigrant Ship North
Three Hundred and TWenty-seVen
Lives Supposed to be Lost.

LONDON, January 2S.-The report of
terrible marine disaster last night in
the English channel has just been re-
ceived.
The emigrant ship North, which
sailed from here several days ago,
for Australia, with four hun
dred and twelve passengers, ex-
elusive of her crew, eollided at mid
night, two miles off Dunginess, with an
unknown foreign steamship, and was
cut to the waters edge
Only eighty-five persons are known to
have been saved. 1t is believed that
every other person who was on board
has found watery grave.
No attention was paid by the steam
ship to the emigrant vessel after the
collision, and she proceeded ON her
course, leaving the sufferers to their fate.

NASHVILLE, January 2l.-The con-
vention of the two houses of the Legis-
lature to-day elected w. w. Hobbs,
Democrat, Comptroller by majority of
twenty votes over Blackburn, Republic
can. Captain Hobbs is a citizen Of
Waverley, Humphreys county, and has
been for several years Clerk of the CouR-
ty Court of his county. He is a good
business man, and viii no doubt make
a faithful and efficient officer.
DR.. William Morrow, of Knox county,
was reelected Treasurer on the first bal
lot, by vote of 81 to 10. His election
was foregone conclusion, as he is uni
versally popular, and one of the most
efficient officers in the State. The three
offices of Comptroller, Treasurer and
Secretary of State are distributed one to
each grand division of the State. After
the result of the election of Treasurer
was announced, the convention ad-
journed sine die, the Senators returning
to their chamber, when both houses adj
journed until tomorrow morning.
There is very strong feeling in the
Legislature in favor of Constitutional
Convention, and bill for that purpose
is now in preparation.
/ learn that bill will be introduced
in a few days to reorganize the courts
of Shelby county, but I do not know
the particulars of the bill, not having
seen it.
No doubt an Insurance Department
will be created by the Legislature to ex-
ercise control and surveillance over all
insurance companies, life, fire and ma
rine, but there are great doubts ex-
pressed of the success OF the application
of the fire companies to repeal the law
requiring deposit of twenty thousand
dollars by each company, before doing
business.
Laws embracing a general public
schools system, and the encouragement
of immigration, will bedOubtless passed.
In connection with immigration a
resolution will be introduced to publish
the report Of Major Joe Barbiere, made
to the Legislature as Commissioner to
Europe, and it will most probably pass.
Memphis has her usual number of

There is general, indeed almost uni

influenza, which your correspondent mas
named the anthrosootic, a disease of
men, in ncontradistinction to the epizootic,
a disease of animals, or horses. AN
is not harder to pronounce
than epizootic, looks as well in print,
and is a new word and cannot be rem
dered into eOzOot or snOotic. 1t is ex-
pected to appear in the next edition of
