HOWE's COMBINED CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE
will give its last performance in this city this
evening, and those who have not seen it should
attend, a. IL u admitted TO be the best show in
many respects which has visited Washington
this season. The management has been good,
and nothing TO offend the most fastidous has
been seen or heard during the performances
They will take away much shekeis and the goOd
opinion of our citizens. and Will be welcomed
back again when they choose 10 come. The
circus performances are exceptionally good,
and the trained animals are a very pleasing
feature of the exhibitions.

letter of the trustees of the north Baptist
church, asking that two lots of ground occu-
pied by them for church purposes be exempt
from taxation. The report, il will be remem-
bered, was TO the effect that the general law
governing the exemption of church or school
property cannot consistently be strained to
such an extent as TO cover property used for
church purposes where the society paws a pri-
yate owner for the use Of the ground.

Men Who Win.

Young men depend upon your
own efforts. Fight your own bat
ties. Hoe your own row. Ask nc
favors of any one, and you will sue
ceed thousand times better than
those who are always beseechine
some ones patronage. No one will
ever help you as you can help your
self, because no one will be sc
heartily interested in your affairs
The first step will not be such a
long one, perhaps, but carving your
owrf way up the mountain, you make
each one lead to an other, and stand
in them while you chop out still
another. Men who have made theil
fortunes arc not those who had five
thousand dollars given them to start
with, but started fair with 4 well
earned dollar or two. Men who
have by their own exertions acquir-
ed fame have not been thrust into
popularity by puffs begged or paid
for, or given in friendly spirit,
They have outstrctched their hands
and touched the public heart. Men
who win love do their own wooing,
and / never knew man to fail sc
signally as one who had induced
his alfectionatc grandmamma tc
speak q good word for him
Whether you work for fame, fol
love, tor money, or for anything
else, work with your hands, heart
and brain. Say 81 WILL" and some
day you will conquer. Never let
any man have it to say, 81 have
dragged you up" Too many friends

there was no help for it, and l did
my duty as well as I knew how
until I was discharged in Australia,

An examination of the books re-
vealcd the fact that the amount had
been deposited and never called for,
but was always kept in readiness
for the dcpositor. The man was
informed that the government did
not pay interest on deposits, but was
always ready to pay the principal.
A few moments more and the
equivalent of the dust deposited
nineteen years before was handed
across the counter and gathered up
by the visitor, who bidding the
cashier good day, went on his way
rejoicing.

There is much truth and sound
sense in the following extract from
an article in the New York Espress
on third parties. There is often
more falsehood, ,duplicity, corruption
and dcmagogueism displayed in the
effort to get up a new party, than
in the old organization which it is
designed to displacc:
We do not think much practical
good is to be found in third parties.
Let men who belong to the old or
CARNATIONS, and who are really re-
formers infusc little of their own
lcavcn, and in time it will leaven
the whole lump. There is always
room for better things in the best
of organizations, but those who
seek to stand above them, or to
place themselves beyond them, are
Just as often as selfish and impracti'
cable rs those of whom they com
plain. Then there is that class OF
pharisaical reformcrs who, like the
denounced men in scripture, are ten
times more the children of the devil
than those to whom they preach.
After all, it is the life and charac
ter of the man, acting inisde of his
church or party, that is to be relied
upon, rather than those who profess
most or lonOunce most.

Extinguishcd.

The Cincinnati Gnzctte thus eX-
tinguishcs real estate man whose
ingenuity perhaps entitled him to
better treatment:
No class of men appreciate the
value of advertising better than
those who try to get it done for moth
ing. There is an illustration OF
this in letter before us from a
town in Missouri. The town is Re-
publican in politics, the writer in
forms us, and he desires to "kecp it
so, though the State go rebel" To
this end he proposes to write let
ter week, setting forth the attract
ions OF the place. These appearing
in a Republican paper would, he
concludes, draw Republicans to the
town and county, and thus keep it
on the right side, even though Mis-
souri, should be carried by the rcb'
els. We appreciate the argument
but if Republicans should move to
that town, the Democrats might car
ry some other village or county now
Republican. Besides, the best way
to set forth the bargarins to be OBJ
tained in town lots and farms is il

and we could have seen the special
effect of every article put into it, we
should have become so nervous
about its operations, that, shortly,
the whole human race would have
died off. Doubtless the physiolo-
gist and the student of dictics will
give us some knowledge and wis
dom; but they will sacrifice many
victims by their minute inquiries
and cautions. One of the best of
them all that we ever knew, had one
fundamental principle to impress
upon his disciples: "Eat your vict-
uals und go about your business. "
A valctudinarian, long suffering, re-
fusing this and that, and cutting
down year by year the list Of whole
some articles for his food, at last
bcthought himself it were as well to
die of fullness as starvation; and
went to his accustomed restaurant
at dinner time, and ordered a full
meal like any other man, to the
amazcmcnt and increduality Of the
attendant that always waited upon
him; and ON inquiry Of the results
Of his boldness, he replied he was

had been accustomed to practicc.-

"A California Story.

The facts narrated l.ercin were
told us yesterday by gentleman
who declared he would vouch for
their authenticity. A few days ago
man dressed in plain but neat

Office of the cashier Of the United

would like to make a draft on the
institution.
"Docs the mint owe you any

the gcntlemanly cashier.
The latter took the paper and
read "Rcceivcd of -- in 1854,

claimed, "Why this has been here
for nineteen years."

Too Significant, Rather.

A certain marble dealer, residing
not hundred miles from this vii
lagc, recently received an invoice
of gravestones, upon some ofwhlch
were inscribed touching sentiments
of sympathy and eulogy ready made
for the fortunate person whose
tombs they were intended to dcsig-
nate. Among them was one with
an index finger pointing heaven
ward, and under it the motto: mo
graves there One evening the
dealer received an order for a grave
stone, the style and decoration OF
which was left pretty much tc his
own Judgment, the price only being
fixed. As he had to leave the city
the next morning, he hurricdly Sc
lcctcd the stone bearing the above
motto. The Indignation of the sur
viving rela.iI cs of Mr.. Graves, for
whose cemetery lot this stone was
intended, when it was received, can
be better imagined than described
