favor Of Italy.
THE members Of the Austrian Polar Ex-

AN engagement in the province Of Biscsy,
between the Republicans and the Carlists,
resulted in the rout Of the latter. Many in
surgents are surrendering and asking for
amnesty.
srArS..-General Moriones has began a
series Of operations with the object Of reliev.
ing Pampeluna, and fighting hes been going
on for three days. The engagement Of the
first day was indecisive. On the second day
the Republican artillery gained an advan-
tage and inflicted heavy losses on the Car
lists. On the last day General Moriones re
sumcd the offensive and dispersed several
insurgent battalions, but failed to follow up
the advantages he had gained.
CHrSA.---A frightful typhoon passed over
Hong Kong recently. The steamers Leonor
and Albay, and eight other vessels, were
wrecked or foundered, and many are miss
ing. A great number Of houses were de-
stroyed, and it is reported that thousand
persons were killed. The damage to prop
erty in the city and harbor and surrounding
country Is immense.

R,,kIm,. Adrice to Artists.

Ask yourselves what is the leading mo-
tive which actuates you while you are at
work. do not ask what your leading
motive is for working-that is different
thing; you may have families tosupport,
parents to help, brides to win; you have
all these or others such sacred and pre-
eminent motives, to press the mornings
labor and twilight thought. But, when
you are fairly at the work, what is the
motive which tells upon every touch Of
it? If it is the love Of that which your
work represents-if, being a landscape
painter, it is love of hills and trees that
moves you If being figure painter 1t
is love of human beauty and human soul
that moves you-if, being flower or ami
NAL painter, it is love and wonder, and
delight in petal and in limb that moves
you, then the spirit is upon you, and the
Garth is yours, and the fullness thereof
But if, on the other hand, it is petty self
complacency in your own skill, trust in
precept and laws, hope for academical
or popular appreciation, or avarice OF
wealth-it squite possible that by steady
industry, oreven by fortunate chance, you
may win the applause, the position, the
fortune, that you desire; but one touch
of true art you will never lay on canvas
or ON stone as long as you live.

A collision occurred between two passen-
ger trains on the b. 4 o. r. r., at balf-past
eight o'clock Wednesday evening, at Smith
ton. ffty.eight miles east of Parkersburg.
The western.bound train was a quarter of an
hour ahead Of time, and, having slsckened
speed, was going slowly toward the western
end of siding, with the intention OF backing
on to it, so as to allow the eastern-bound
train to pass by on the main track. When
the western.bound train was within three
hundred or four hundred feet Of the switch,
the Eastern train came laundering along,
and dashed into the other.

There is much quoted anecdote Of an
encounter between a dramatic author
and his critic, the latter being frst-rate
shot. After the author had fred and

at his adversary's hat, and pierced it with
the utmost precision; whereupon the
dramatist flew into a violent passion,
protested that it was unfair, and ex-
claimed: "If you had told me what you

Do not stop to tell stories in business
hours. If you have a place of business,
be found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by sitting around stores and
saloons. Never fool in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, liberal
ity, and promptness. DO not meddle with
business you know nothing Of Never
buy anything you do not need, simply
because it is cheap, and the man who
sells il will take it out in trade. Trade
in money. Strive to avoid hard words
and personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path. More miles can be
made in day by going steadily on than
by stopping. Pay as you go. A man OF
honor respects his word as his bond. Aid,
but never beg. Help others when YOU
can, but never give what you can't af-
ford TO, simply because it is fashionable.
Learn to say no. No necessity for snap
ping il out dog-fashion, but say il firmly
and respectfully. Have but few conf
dants, the fewer the better Use ysur
own brains rather than those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself sise
yigilant. Keep ahead rather than be-
hind the times.

Very few persons understand how
greatly health and happiness In this
world depend upon the regularity of
their daily habits-thc constant recur-
renee Of those events which we are apt to
refer to as tiresome and monotonous.
During the early aud later periods Of
life this "even tenor" h essential 10 our
well-being, and though We may feel like
kicking the traces when at the zenith Of
power and activity, and some times ny
of at tangcnts or get rid of our superfu-
Gus energies in odd and eccentric ways,
yet we usually come back, or try to come
back to our moorings, and gladly accept
the tread-mill path Of daily duty, which,
If 1t brings no ccstatic pleasure, leaves no
remorse.
Every one can understand how dis
agreeable it would be not to be able to
make sure of ones dinner; to be de-
prived of bed and sleep; to lose the en-
joyment of good water, daily bath and
a daily paper; but upon the recurrence
of how many more and much smaller
minutio do we depend for our daily COM
fort? We like certain kinds of bread at
every meal; we want meat always cook
ed in certain favorite ways, and we ex-
pect to find it 80 as naturally as we ex-
pect the sun to shine. We get used to
seeing certain things in certain places,
and we would not miss them upon any
account. A tree, a bush, a picture, or a
chair which occupies the same place for
years, acquires value in our conscious
ness which only the habit Of seeing 1t can
give it. The world seems very large in
growth, and full of many and varied in
terests, but it contracts as we grow older,
and the objects Of value to us narrow
themselves down to those we know to be
real, and which form our lives. Natu-
rally, as these grow fewer in number they
grow dearer, and the more we dislike to
miss them from sight and sense. No
lives are so happy as those which are so
we'll ordered that there is so little to re-
sign, and to which, therefore, every year
brings added interest and added enjoy
ment in the regular discharge of indi-
vidual and social duty.
