TIE Democrats of Atchison county
evidently are a unit in favor of the In
dependent movement in the State. They
utterly disregard the call of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, and
have declined to send delegates TO
the Democratic State Convention. A
new era is certainly dawning.

A GALLANT ELEPHANT.-F'ew sem
timental damsels would approve of the
transformation of u well-knOwn line
into "a trunk was on M shoulder,
knew its touch was kind" Accord
ingly, young lady who lately visited
the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, in COM
pany with her friends, was more terri
fled than flattered on perceiving that
the elephant in the menagerie was ne
glecting the sugar and cakes placed
ithin reach of his long proboscis to
pursue her wherever she went. When
She stood still, he stood still; when she
moved he followed. An elephants
trunk is indeed marvel of animal
mechanism, but TO the unscientific OBJ
server it resembles somewhat too close
ly Mr.. Mantallini's description of his
corpse, being both damp and unpleas-
ant. The attempt made by the poor
animal to attract the lady's attention
by means of this appendage soon caus-
eu her to hurry away in alarm; seeing
this, her admirer uttered a loud cry,
which brought keeper to the spot.
He soon calmed her fears, and asked
her to hand the elephant a, bouquet,
which formed part of her toilet. She
did SO with trembling fingers, where
upon the animal carried it to his mouth,
drank i'm its perfume with evident de-
light, and, to the surprise ofall present,
retui ned it to its owner with u mix
ture of grace and clunsiness which
may be imagined in courteous ele-
phant. The bouquet was composed
of orange flowers, of which these are
fond.

Four Money Making Rules OF
ROfhschiids.

RotEschild commonly ascribed his
early success, in a great degree, to the
following rules:
First-I combined three profits;
made the manufacturer my customer,
and the one bought of my customer
that is, 1 supplied the manufacturer
with raw materials and dyes, on each
of which / made profit and took his
manufactured goods, which 1 sold at q
profit, and thus combined three profits.
-Second-Make a bargain at once. Be
an off-hand man.
Third-Never have anything to do
with an unlucky man or place. 1 have
seen many clever men who had not
shoes to their feet. i never act with
them; their advice sounds very we'll,
but fate is against them-they cannot
get on themselves--how can they do
good to me?
Fourth-Be cautious and bold. 1t
requires a great deal of boldness and a
great deal of caution to make q great
fortune, and when you have got it, it
requires ten times as much wit to keep
it. t
This last idea was one which Roths-
child frequently expressed; it forms a
passage in his memorable converse
tion with Sir Thomas Buxton, and
there is no doubt he was thoroughly
with its truth.

Plymouth Church.

what is Plymouth Church, any.
way?' said 1.
'Well,' said TilIon, 1T is kind of
club house, with female attendants.
There are about 2, 200 members. There
are also about fifty very rich and cor
dial men in the church, who look on it
in the light of social club. They are
generally worldly men, who like
Beecher and the snappy, smartish
things he has to say, his humOr and his
company; and they put up their mon
ey, rejoice in the institution, and other
wise play poker, go to the theater, or
what not. Beecher is a magnificent
preacher, full of the things which touch
the sensibilities of people, and a vast
mass of women go there for their souls
to be comforted and made good. Now
put these two elements together, the
warmth and belief of all these women,
the wealth and public spirit of those
men, and you can make, in detached
dullish town like Brooklyn, an institu-
tiOn equal to merchants exchange.
There are plenty of men belonging to
Plymouth Chuach who do not care
whether Beecher is debaucher or not. ,
Il think not,' said the Judge, 'that is
do not think Beecher, if found guilty,
will be sustained by the community.
Why, they are already dropping away
from him in this city, among his own
people; take out Plymouth Church and
its influence and Brooklyn is all Tilton
now. Two out Of the three newspapers
here show that. The Eagle takes the
other side because its editor, Kinsella,
is to be tried for adultery with Mrs.
Field, and this case will have a bearing
upon that

KILLED AT THE FORD.
By HENkY wADswoR1H LoSeFELLow

By HENkY wADswoRTH LoSeFELLow.
He is dead, the beautiful youth,
The neart OF honor. the tongue OF truth
He, the life and light of us ali,
Whose voice was blithe as bugle call,
Whom all eyes follower with one consent.
The cheer o; whose laugh, and whose pleasant
word
flushed all murmurs OF discontent.
Only last night, as we rode along
Down the dark of the mountain gap,
To visit the picket-guard at the ford.
Little dreaming OF any mishap,
He was humming the words of some o.d song:
1.-TWO red roses he had on his cap,
And another he bore at the point of his sword.
Sudden and swift a whiStling ball
Came out of the wood, and the voice was still,
Something ! heard in the darkness fall,
And for moment my blood grew chill;
l spake in a whisp er, as he who speaks
In room where some one is lying dead;
But he made no answer TO what said.
We lifted him up on his saidl again,
And through the mire and the mist and the
rain
Carried him back to the silent camp,
And laid him as If asleep on his bed,
And saw by the light Of the SCI Grgeon's lamp
The two white roses upon his cheeks,
The one over his heart blood redi
And saw in vision how far and feet
That fatal bullet went speeding forth,
Till 1t reached town in. the distant North,
Till 1t reached q house in q sunny street,
Till it reached heart that ceased to beat.
Without a murmur, without c-y:
And a bell was tolled in that far of town,
For one who had passed from cross to crown
And the neighbors wondered that she should

The Blessings of Fun.

AS people we are not particularly
given to sobriety of demeaner. Mirth-
fulness and jollity may well be reckon
ed as ameng our prominent character
istics. We cannot be said to be with
out certain amount OF dry humor and
wit of our own, and know the droll
thing when we see it. We are glad
when we are made laugh in spite OF
ourselves. The man who says funny
things week after week In the columns
of village newspaper, becomes sud-
denly a popular favorite; and, waking
up some morning, finds himself ia
NOUS. The darling Of the lyceum is
the man who successfully mimics the
foibles and fOllies of the times, with q
spice of fun dashing the satire Of de-
scription. The ballad that sings its
way into everybody's heart has q bunch
of drollery mingled with its Pathos;
and the preacher whose sermons are
touched here and there with an honest
good humor is sure to be sought BY the
masses. -
We all crave the rest and recreaeson
that lie in amusement, and bettK IA
a hundred prescriptions from ~ p1ezN
macopeia is the tonic that Hs2eFs ln Q
hearty taught
No one can deny this fact, that there
Is a blessing in fun; and, rs we are con-
stitutionally adapted to 1t, we see no
reason why we should not enjoy 1t, pro-
vided we do not carry the blessing so
far as to make il o curse.

CURIOsITY.-Nothing is much no.
bier than the desire for knowledge
nothing more shabbier than low Curl
osity. What does it signify to US what
others do or have, and why cannot we
let them and theirs alone? No one in
the world likes to be watched and pri-
ed after; and it does not seem very diff
ficult to do to our neighbors in this
matter as we would he should do to
us. This curiosity is generally the
great sin of small societies. For want
of more healthy outlet for the dra-
matte instinct with which We are all
born, the dwellers in confined locali-
ties tura upon each other, likeso many
spiders in tumbler, and try to mask
the real starvation of this instinct by
the false nourishment of gossip. A
gossip pre-supposes curiosity, and, is,
in fact, the legs on which this very
rickety reading-desk OF the mind
stands. Yet the gossip and curiosity
of small societies are substantially but
the love of knowledge degraded,
the dramatic instinct demeaned; and
wider scope, a noble direction, and a
more fitting food would prove the truth
of this.

There is Alfred Sutton home with
his family to live on the old folks said
one neighbor to another. st seems
hard, after all his father had done to fit
him for business, and the capital he in
vested to start him 80 fairly. 1t is sur
prising he has turned out so poorly.
He Is steady young man, no bad
habits, so far as know; he has a good
education and was always considered
smart; but he doesn't succeed in any
thing. l am told he has tried a num-
ber of different kinds of business, and
sunk money every time. What can
be the trouble with Alfred, / should
like to know, for don't want my boy
to take his turn
ALFRED is smart enough said the
other, 'anG has education enough, but
he lacks the one element of success.
He never wants to give a dollars
worth of work for a dollar of money,
and there is no other way for a young
man to make his fortune. He must
dig if he would get gold. All the men
that have succeeded, honestly or dis
honestly, in making money, have had
to work for it the sharpers sometimes
the hardest of all. Alfred wishes to see
his train in motion and let it take care
of itself. No wonder it soon ran off the
track, and a smash-up was the result.
Teach your boy, friend Archer, to
work with will when he does work.
Give him play enough to make him
healthy and happy, but let him learn
early that work is the business of life.
Patient, self-denying work is the price
Ofsuccess. Ease andindolencee eat away
not capital only, but worse still, all of
mans nerve power. Present gratifica-
tion tends to put off duty until to-mor-
row or next week. 1t is getting to be
a rare thing for the sons of rich men to
die rich. Too often they squander in a
half score of years what their fathers
were a lifetime in accumulatinG. l

aspiring young man that work, hard
work, of head and hands, is the price
