When you undertake to do anything, be
in earnest about it; do il with your might.
Fortune and fame are often lost by not be-
ing in earnest. This is real world "a
world Of real work; real conflicts; real sue
cess; real failures; real triumphs; real de-
feats. And let no one be oyer-confdent
in his own abilities as to look with indif-
ference upon the difficulties before him
the dangers and trials that he must pass in
order to reach the goal upon which his eye
is fixed Full and glorious success never
yet did crown the languid and impartial
exercises Of the powers of mind and body.
II requires effort to push one s craft against
the current Of rivalry, Jealousy, and vice.
and if one would have his progress marked
by complete Triumph, his efforts must be
well directed, constant and unrelaxing,
But he who feels that he has only to lie
inactive and wait for the wind Of fortune
to drift him into the haven Of wealth OF
fame, has lost every promise Of success
and is in far more danger Of ultimate dis.
aster than the ,empest-tossed mariner

in earnest meet the difficulties which dali,
arise, with determination to conquer ans
rise above them. Let not your adversar,
find you sleeping or dreaming of an eas,
conquest. Too much confidence in one'
powers is fatal to success, and often bring
defeat most disasterous. BE faithful; h'
true; be kind; bc firm; be earnest.

The latest feature attracting attention
in the Frigid Zone is Greenland coal
mine. 1t is nearly hundred miles from
Godhayen, and on the northeast side Of
the island Of Disco, in the weigat Or strnit
The vein Of coal is about thirty inches in
thickness, running longitudinally into the
mountain few feet back from the beach,
and about a hundred feet above the level.
A party that went in pursuit of the PoIaris
sufferers visited this mine and examined
it. They found on the top Of the vein Of
coal three strata, two Of sand, with one Of
clay between the two, forming total
thickness of fifteen feet, which sand and
clay had to be removed before the coal
could be taken out. They found veins Of
ice running through the sand as far down
as the coal, and the vein Of coal increased
in thickness and good quality as it descend
ed, containing large percentage of bitn4
men aud light sprinkling Of rosin. The
FIRST day the party mined and took out and
carried to the beach, ready for embarka-
ton, about fifteen tons of gas coal If
they had remained they would have taken
out one hundred tons Of coal within FIVE
days. Il is thus proven that the mineral
treasures Of Greeland are not confined to
kryolite, and indeed there may be many
valuable mines Of various kinds here, the
mining Of which in the bosom of the earth
would be free from the terrible severity of
the cold. Doubtless further explorations
and mining operations hereafter viii render
Greenland habitable country for mining
population. With good coal available there
in ample supplies, life viii be shorn Of
much of the terror hitherto incident to the
climate.

INrLAMEp EYEs,-Dr. Reuling, of the
Maryland Eye and Ear Institute, writes
to the Baltimore American that the dis
ease known as Egyptian or granular in
aammation of the eyes is spreading rapidly
through the United States. 1t sometimes
causes blindness, and ii is very contagious.
He adds II have in many and l may
say in the majority Of cases been able to
trace the disease to the use of the so-called
rolling towels. Such towels are generally
found in our country hotels and the sleep.
ing apartments Of the working classes, and
being thus used by nearly every one, are
made the carriers Of one Of the most dan
gerous, and, as regards its symptoms, most
troublesome diseases of the eye. /, there
fore, would strongly recommend that the
use Of the rolling towel be abolished, for
thereby we win discard one of the great
instruments for the spread of such dan
gerOus disease of the eye, BY which thous-
ands of working men arc annually depriv
ed Of .tAeir means ofsupporf."

KEROSENE LAMPs--HowTo PREVENT
EXPLOSIONS. Ns.-This is the season when
nearly every paper we take up relates some
horrible casualty from the explosion of a
kerosene lamp, or the like, and women
and children are either killed outright or
terribly burned and Scared for life A
simple knowledge Of the inAammable ma
ture Of the fluid would probably put an
end to nearly all the accidents. First, no
lamps should ever be filed after dark by
the light of a candle. Always do this
work after the breakfast dishes are put
away, and then not only fll them, but wash
the chimueys, for IL they are dim and
smokey, you cannot expect to have bright
light Take the chimney in one hand and
breathe through it, then draw a large wisp
of paper up and down it, and all the blur
will be removed If the chimney is
blackened with lamp smoke, turn warmish
water through the tube, aud then wipe out
with paper in the same style as before. If
the lamps are glass, and they become
clouded with deposit from the kerosene,
take lime water that is milky with the lime
and shake it up in the lamp. Do this
with two different washings, and all the
deposit will be removed. A little chloride
Of lime, dissolved in warm water, and left
in a lamp or can which has held kerosene,
will deodorize it very soon. Lamps must
be filed every morning. This is an i'm
peratiye duty for every housekeepcr to
perform, for as the oil burns down in q
lamp, there is created highly infamma-
Bile gas, which gathers imperceptible over
the surface, and as fast as the oil is con
sumed, this gas increases, so when the oil
is nearly out of the lamp, the slightest jar
of the table will set the gas on FIRE; an ex-
plosion follows instantaneously, and a
bombshell would not be more destructive,
for its touches are deathly. But if the
oil is burned only half way down in your
lamp, the gas is not Of sufficient power to
do any injury; therefore let me beg of
you never to defer the operation of lamp
filing to another day, but see yourselfthat
it is done Country Gentleman

ST. VALENTINES CHARM.

IL was the Fourteenth OF February and
the ground was covered with freshly fallen
snow, as the sun rose brilliantly. Every
tree was a miracle of beauty in its coat of
ice, with long glittering icicles depending
from branch and stem.
just as the first rays Of the sun kissed
her window, Nellie Gordon threw it wide
open, and with her eyes fast closed, sang,
in clear, sweet voice
"Bicssed ~ Valentine. now when look,
Open the page ofthe futures scaled book;
Blessed st. Valentine. show unto me,
He who my future true love shall be-
Opening her eyes wide, she suddenly
drew in her head, and quick, vivid bushes
chased each other over neck, arms, and
cheeks.
"Oh, hope he did not hear me He
will think am ridiculing him, she said,
aloud
"What is the matter, Nell ?" said very
sleepy voice from the bed.
Nellie tossed aside the dressiug-gown
she had wrapped around her, and resumed
her place beside her cousin before she said I:

Just for fun, TASTE, aud when opened my
eyes and looked out, Ned was handing

"Nell Did he see you ?"
"I don't know. He certainly must

"But you knew he was coming to-day,
and that the train comes in at daybreak !"
al forgot all about him."
"Nell, is he so frightfal ?"
81 never looked twice. He is certainly
very short, but he was so wrapped in cloaks
and shawls he might have been woman.
Ned was almost carrying him."
"What makes Ned SO crazy about him,
Nell? | have only heard in vague way
that he felt under some obligation to him,
but never heard the whole story"
"When Ned was in Mississippi in the
fall Of 1867 he was attacked with yellow
fever, on the train. He was taken into a

No station master was required for so in

THE CONVENTIONS.


The Conventions held here, last
Wednesday, were the most pleasant
reminders of the better days of the
Republic, that we have seen since the
war. The long procession of manly
and intelligent delegates, headed by
one of Nashyille's splendid bands,
which breathed the very spirit of har-
mOny, brought forcibly to mind the
time when principles, not men, patriot
ism, notselfsh partizan zeal, linked men
together in sympathy, and filed them
with aspirations to serve the cause of
liberty and country
The Congressional Convention. hay-
ing but one candidate for nomination
before it, was, ofcourse, unit for Col.
John X. House, one of Tennessee's
most gifted orators and statesmen; and
the jealous spirit displayed, IN the alb
sence of any opposition, we hail as an
evidence of that reviying patriotism
and tendency to united effort which
are the last hope of a government per-
ishing under the sitting weight of
official corruption and popular demon
alization.
The Senatorial, like the Congression-
al, Convention, was constituted of the
best material in the District and, hav-
ing but one candidate before it, Gen.
W. A.. Quarles, he was warmly and
unanimously proclaimed the standard
bearer ofthis Senatorial District. These
two nominees are too widely known
for their high integrity and marked
ability to need comment at our hands
and the speech made by each, in re-
spouse to his nomination is ample proof
of the wisdom of the Conventions in
con6ding their interests-State and
Federal-to men so competent to pro-
tect and advance them
We can not close this brief notice
without commencing to the people Of
this county, especially, the wholesome
advice of the Chairman-Dr. Winston,
to stand square up TO their own nomi-
nations, discard personal preferences
and, and this trying crisis, look to the
success of that party upon which rests
~ L
ruin, every interest involved in the
question of good government. The
voice of diseord is already heard in
our midst, faction is at work, and cool
heads and honest hearts are needed tc
counteract its insidious appeals t. pas
sion and prejudice. Turn a deaf cal
to every such appeal and stick to YOU

that che man who breaks open jails

ELECTORS.
A Card from O. NJ. BIackman.

By request of many citizens, all of
whom L regard as representative men,
/ have to-day announced myself can
didate to represent the county Of
Montgomery, in the lower branch of
the next Legislature. s.5r.1..t g
The people of this county, generally,
know me, and know what my former
political principles were, and | can
here state, for the information of all,
that | still adhere to the same old
Democratic principles that | advocated
and practiced years ago.
In becoming a candidate for this
office, | want it distinctly understood,
that shall not engage in an election
eering scramble to obtain the place /;
but | shall leave it entirely in the
hands of the free and independent
voters of the county, to act and vote
as their judgment and conscience may
dictate, believing that the people are
as we'll posted in matters of State and
county affairs as those who propose to
represent them. 1t is my idea of free
government, that the people have a
right to pursue the honest voeations
of life without constantly being tor
tured, button holed, and bored by
anxious loving candidates, who desire
to teach them how they should vote
Let the people act and vote upon their
own free will and Judgment, aud they
will be sure to act and vote right
And so far as | am nceined, In con
Quoting this canvass, | only ask each
qualified voter to go to the polls on
the day of election, and quietly de-
post his vote-vote for whom he
pleases. When he has done that, he
has exercised that privilege which is
his, and has performed that duty
which he owes ais country. If I am
elected, | shall act in all matters that
may come before the Legislature as |
believe to be for the best interest of
our county and State 80

IT is singular coincidence, to say
the least of it, that the riotous negroes
in Gibson county, should have acted
upon the assumption that Grant would
sustain them in their contemplated
butchery of the whites, at the very mo-
ment when the press was discussing
the probability of his signing the civil
rights bill. Grant of course, made no
such promise, but he has not few en-
isaries in the South who believe they
can materially serve the master by con-
solidating. the colored vote for his par
ty by means of promises that may lead
to bloodshed and desolation. IfGrant
were a statesman, or patriot, he would
inform the negroes that If they are not
content to enjoy all the rights which
the constitution and the laws confer
upon white men, they must take the
consequences Of their lawless efforts
to obtain more than the laws allow
them. Such a proclamation would
give us peace, but it is magnanimity
of which the embryo king is utterly in
capable.

The Tobacco Crop.

The Courier-J ournal says, concern
ing information gathered of the tabao-
co crop; that the most significant de-
duction is the fact that the area under
tobacco cultivation in the State appears
to be only thirteen per cent. of the
acreage planted a year ago. Assuming
this estimate to be approximately cor
rect, future average conditions would
admit of a yield of twenty or thirty
millions of pounds, instead oil one
hundred and fifty to six5y millicns.-
This is as near absolute failure proha,
bly, as any of the staple productions of
the United States has ever approached.
Some other States have Jared almost
as badly as Kentucky, and full crop
can not be expected in any State. Adj
vices from the European crops are also
unfavorable, and altogether it is rea-
sonable supposition that within the
next fifteen months the markets of the
world will pass from the extreme of
plethora to absolute scarcity. ~
