ALWAYS TOO LATE.

Some people are always too late,
and therefore accomplish through
life nothing worth naming. If they
promise to meet you at such an hour
they are never present until thirty
minutes after. No matter how i'm
portant the business is either to
yourself or to them, they are just as
tardy. If one of this class is to take
passage by steamer or railway, he
arrives just as the boat as left the
wharf, or the train the station. Ills
dinner has been waiting for him SO
long that the cook is out Of patience.
This course, the character we have
described always pursues. He Is
never in time for church at his
place of business, at his meals or in
bis bed. Persons of such habits, we
cannot but despise. Always start
in time, and be ready at the appoint
ed hour. We would not give fig
for d man who Is not punctual 70 his
engagement, and who never makes
up his mind to certain course till
the time Ia lost. Those who hang
back, hesitate and tremble--who are
never at hand for q journey, to meet
an appointment for business, or any
thing else-are poor sloths, and are
in calculated to succeed ia business
or get living in this world.

A CURIOUS MAN.

The Providence Rhode Island)
Journal says a negro has been in that
city recently who certainly deserves
this title. He is thirty-four years
old, thick set, Of medium height, Of
fair intelligence, and was born 10
Manchester, England. he gains a
livelihood.by exhibiting himself to
physicians. His abdomen is natur-
ally full, but at will, without the use
Of his hands he gives it a wave-like
motion, and it gradually sinks in as if
being wound up until it apparently
rests against the back bone, and he
presents the appearance Of Q man
with no abdomen, and then in the
same manner he rolls it out to origi-
nal form. He then drops from i,n-
der his ribs duplicate set Of ribs,
with breast. bone, when the original
ribs and the duplicates can be dis
tinctly felt and counted and the whole
front of the body, as it were, iron.
clad. Or, at will, he apparently
drops his heart from its natural posi-
ton some twelve inches, butts it back
and sends it to the right side of the
body, opposite its natural position,
puts it back and sends it to the lower
part Of the body on the right side,
thus putting it in four different posi-
tons. During these changes the
two sounds of the heart can be dis
tinctly heard in either OF these new
positions, and not where they usu-
ally are heard. 1t seems to be nee
essary, however, that after each
change il should go back where it be-
longs before being sent to a new
quarter. He also has the power to
stop the beating Of llisheart at will
from five to ten seconds at time, the
pulse stopping at the same time.
He seems also to have considerable
strength, easily bending by blow
ON the arm a heavy iron cane which
he carries. Several Of our promi-
nent physicians have examined him,
from one Of whom we have obtained
these facts, and pronounce him to be
the greatest curiosity in physiology
| they have ever seen or heard OF.

GIVE your CHILD a PAPER.

A child beginning to read becomes
delighted with newspaper, because
he reads Of names and things which
are familiar, and be will progress
accordingly. A newspaper IN one
year Is worth a quarters schooling
to a child. Every father must con
slider that information is connected
with advancement. The mother Of
q family, being one Of its heads, and
having more immediate charge Of
children, should herself be instruct
ed. A mind occupied becomes for
tilted against the iIls Of life and u
braced BY emergency. Children
amused by reading or study are Of
course more considerate and easily
governed. How many thoughtless
young men have spent their earn
ings ia . tavern or. grog shop who
ought to have sb66 .readipg.-
How many kind parents who
have not spent twenty dollars for
books for their families, would have
given thousands to reclaim a son
or daughter, who had ignorantly,
thoughtlessly, fallen into temptation.
Give your children papers to read.

White Sulphur Springs Letter to the New York
Trlbune.]
Gen. G. Z. Beauregard will arrive here
early next month Erroneous statements have
been published in regard to Gen. Beauregard's
proposed engagement with the Argentine
Confederation. The state of the case is this :
About six weeks ago the General received an
offer from President Sarmiente, OF the Con-
federation, rendering the position of military
engineer with view to making plans for the
detenses Of the river La Plata, in Buenos
Ayers. The offer was made by an accredited
foreign agent Of the government, who was
then in New York. The General was to make
his own conditions and to choose his own
staff. The reply was an acceptance of the
position on condition that the sum Of $4,000
be deposited with some responsible banker
in London or Paris, subject to Gen Beau
regards order. This deposit was to be a
guarantee for the payment of his salary Of
$50, 900 per annum and that of his staff. In
the event of Gen. Beauregards acceptance
and the acceptance of his conditions by the
Minister Garcia, who was in
Paris when the offer was made, was to con-
clude the contract. 1t is not thought that the
of Sarm1ente as President of the |
and his appointment as Minis
ter to Washington, will affect in any way the
pending negotiations. At present, Gen.
Beauregard is President Of the New Orleans I
and Carrolton Railroad, and consulting engi- |
neer of the cities Of Galveston and Houston, |
and is soon to receive the presidency OF a
railroad in Texas. Of course he will not give |
up his present positions and prospects at
home for uncer ainty abroad. The next few
weeks will probably decide whether he Will 90

HIM all order to place in st. Vncents Asylum, a
coored child about wears old which had beer
left behind in his house by the mother some days

pearance, while behind walked a negro with the

THE lev YORK TRIBUNE ON TIE
REP TBLICAN ADDRESS,

What has the Republican party to offer us
for the future? The old issues are closed.
The war and its consequences are irrevocable
The work which the Republican organization
was made for has been honorably finished. In
spite OF the smile OF the faithful servant with
which the address opens, every politician
knows that parties cannot live upon ancient
history. We do find accordingly in the closing
paragraphs of the address an intima.ion Of
the new question upon which the Republican
party purposes to go before the country. 1t
is not the currency-the first great question of
the day-for the promises made at Philadel-
phia and so many other places of restoration
OF specie payment are formally repudiated.
1t is not the reformation of corrupt and mer-
cenary politics. 1t is not the settlement Of
the Southern problem. 1t is transportation.
III. Republican party wants to fight the next
campaign on the transportation question.
Here at least we have plain policy The
tavorite device Of the Changers is frankly con-
demned. Legislative interference with rail
road tariffs, is pronounced g too hazardous !"
ANY policy which would tend 20 drive CAPT.
tai from us should be avoided, if possible +"
But the committee give their recommended
ton to the scheme Of opening four great water
routes from the prairie to the seaboard, which
will give the National Government the expen-
diture of an internal improvement fund of
S2O, OOO,0 900 year tor six or seven years, and
as much longer as may be found convenient
That is the Republican platform for next
year.-N Y. Tribune

to about $4,000. In addition to the twenty
three is the jackson county Treasurer whose
