LABoR-It is mistake to suppose that Ia
Dor is an unpleasant condition of life. 1t il
matter Of experience, that there is moro con-
tentment in attending to any kind of occupation
than there is in looking for some occupation:
Attend therefore to your business, and regard
vour business as being worthy Of all your atten.
ton. Working men are apt to consider that
their occupations alone are laborious, but in
that they are mistaken. Labor of mind is gen.
orally even more fatiguing than labor of the
body, and it is quite erroneous to suppose that
others do not work 40 we'll as we do, simply be-
cause their work is different from ours. LID

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THE SAXON.

In lecture in Boston, the other evening"
Wendell Phillips is reported to have said: ut
does not suit our Saxon men to use their mus
Gle. The genuine Yankee disdains work he
makes his brains work for him. This is not
the age of work; we make our brain do the
work Of ten thousand hands. We work through
invention, through sagacity. We stand to-day
in Boston and laboriously lay wire to San
Francisco 5000 miles away, and with one man
at each end of the wire we send q message,
and think it a grand achievement But the
men at each end know what is sent, and could
betray the confidence reposed in them if they
pleased. We think we have reached the goal,
but the patient ingenuity of the Saxon blood,
of the Yankee race, will keep at work until,
finally, in your grandchildren's day it will send
message from San Francisco to Boston with
out wire: no man at either end will know
what that message is. and it will run both ways
at the same time. We are only touching just
on the edge or fringe of the garment, and un-
dOubtedy electricity superseding steam, will
light our houses, perhaps lift us into the air,
carry US across the world, and absolutely make
man the lord, without a movement of creation.
But the Saxon has his great demerits The
Roman god was force, the Greek god was
beauty, the Arabian god sensuality, and the Mo-
hammedan god exquisite perfumes, the beauty
of women. exquisite wines, the Saxon idea OF
a god before Christianity had come to the race
was not an outdoor scene; it was no beauty
like the Greek; his heaven was a hall, beneath
whose roof were gathered the victorious war.

ideas-force and the stimulus to victory and
then enhancing the delights of the hour of vic.

this Saxon race of ours as it marches down the
centuries for a thousand years. you will find
two great passions, see it in England and See
it here-frst. to trample under our feet every
neighboring race to clear the ground around
us, allow no rival, no competitor. The genu.

nor an Irishman unless they are under his feet;
the genuine Yankee must absorb Mexico. in.

And it must intensity this glory of conquest by
adding its intoxicants. and so you find we are
the two drunkenest nations on the face OF the

DELICATE GRATITUDE-The New Albany
Ledqcr. Standard tells Of an incident which, il
true, does much toward redeeming our race
from the charge Of selfshness. A gentleman
had assisted another to start in business, where
by he had risen from poverty and obscurlty to
wealth and distinction. Quite recently the
daughter of the benefactor was married. Her
father, not having kept pace with his protege
in the race for wealth, was unable to bestow
upon her any rich gifts with which to commence
life. But the gentleman who, years before. had
pro6ted by his benevolence, had not forgotten
what he owed to him, and considering that il
would be delicate way of acknowledging his
indebtedness to bestow a present upon his
daughter. held many consultations with hit
family as to what it should be. Unable to de-
eide, it was finally concluded to make the pres
eat in money, and let her invest it as she saw
fit; and while others brought gifts of plate and
Jewels, the grateful millionaire simply pressed
in the hand Of the bride package of money
and departed. Imagine the exaltant joy o.
the bride and her spouse when, on unroliine
the package, il was found to contain dollar
preenback

PLACE WoRsHIP-The speech of Mr.. Brad
laugh was ingeniously fashioned to excite every
known American prejudice against the more
obnoxious features Of the English Monarchy,
and, for this purpose, it left no vulnerable point
untouched, dealing largely in the personal scan
dal of courts and Kings with evident relish,
but it seemed to us a strange thing that, in be.
shining the Prince of Wales with this kind of
gossip, an Englishman Of Mr.. Bradlaugh's pre-
tensions and reputation should have carefully
omitted passing tribute to the acknowledged
private and public virtues of Albert and VIC
tOria-Omahn Herald.
We think greatly to Mr.. Bradlaugh's credit
that he did not undertake to beslobber Queen
Victoria with undue praise. She is vain, ig-
norant woman, and withal mean. parsimonious
and avaricious; and if she were not Queen OF
England, no power on earth nor above it, could
ever have dragged her forth from her native OBJ
scuritv. Eulogies bestowed upon her are not in
homage to the coman, but in servility to the
Queen.

AMMONIA FOR BLoAT.-A California farmer

WAILA WALLA.-We take the following
items from the Walla Walla Statesman:
A proposition is soon to be submitted to the
people Of Walla Wala for the construction of
a narrow gauge railroad from that place to the
Columbia river. The company ask Wala Wal

for 90 years, and in return for this bonus they
will have the road in running order by the 1st

up freight the charges are to be restricted to

MANAGEMENT OF THE BANK OF ENG
LAND.-There are "a directors and a governor

They are mainly, therefore. great merchants.
When vacancy occurs, the most promising
Young merchant obtainable is elected to it. He
must be quite young; otherwise he would die
before he had been in the direction long enough
to have any voice in it. It is valuable honor.
carrying with it, of course, considerable pres
tige to the firm from which the candidate is ta-
ken, and it is bestowed without fear or favor
or regard to any but the purest motives. The
two Oldest members, with rare variations, take
the post of governor and deputy governor. and
hold it for year, when the latter succeeds
the former. A director usually arrives at gov

School TEACniNG.-Thc evident lesson of
the following excerpt is: Explain the meaning
Of rules to pupils, instead Of dining into their
ears sounds which, to their uninstructed minds,
are profoundly meaningless. Rules are written
by persons having knowledge of the princi
pies to be set forth and their terms are always,
or nearly always, of too general nature to be
understood by any other:
In an address recently given before the Sen
eca County Teachers Institute. the Hon. 5. X.
Ten Eyck. of Waterloo. related a bit of youth
tul experience which illustrates too common
fault in teachers and text books:
Towards the close of the last term that l
ever attended in a district school. being then
thirteen years of age. l had got as far as the
division of vulgar fractions in arithmetic when
came to dead halt, because l could not
comprehend the rules. In my dire perplexity
read and re-read the rule for the division OF
fractions. with which you are familiar, "lnvert
the terms of the divisor and proceed as IN mul-
tiplication," and the words sounded in my ears
like funeral dirge. After struggling in vain
to fathom their meaning. at last called upon
the teacher for assistance. He readily per.
formed an example for me. but when asked
him why he proceeded in the manner that ne
did, he turned to the rule. and in harsh and tor.
bidding tone of voice read, "invert the terms
of the divisor and proceed as in multiplication,
and turned away and left me more perple!xed
than ever. His answer was about as intelligl.
BILE to me as was the answer of that pious Old
lady who, when asked by her pastor what she
thought of the doctrine of total depravlty, re-
piled by saying that she thought it was very
good doctrine, and she had no doubt that II nag

DALLAS AND WICHITA.

Captain William Nj. Johnson, CHIEF
engineer, has just completed the loca.
ton of the first twenty miles of this
road from Dallas to Hagansford on
Elm Fork, the distance being precisely
twenty miles. He tells us that after
thorough examination he fixed upon u
most excellent aud decidedly the best
route, with light grades.
Working parties commenced clear
ing out the right of way west of Tur-
tie creek yesterday, and propositions,
10y responsible parties, to grade the
first ten miles are in the hands of the
company.
This is very cheering, and the more
so, coming directly from Captain John
son, whose high character rs an engi-
neer is well known to all the railroad
men of Texas, Kentucky, Missouri and
Kansas.
by the way, we understand Captain
Johnson's friends have just determined
to run him to-day for city engineer.
From fifteen months intimate acquaint.
ance, we can most conscientiously rec
ommend him for the position.
