Il nishing announcement that Cincinnati
beer is no longer pure, but atlulterated with

Of Agriculture. in his report for 1865. says
that Prof Napes, Of New York, analyzed
the beor from dozen different breweries,
and found all Of it adultcratcd. Cocculus
IndicuB and nux vomica entered largely
into it's computation.
J. q. SFEGERS guarantees his beer o be

FAILURES IN BUSINESS The man
who never failed in business cannot
possibly know whether he has any
gift in him, or Is worth button. -
It is the man who fails, then rises,
who is really great in the world.
Peter Cooper failed in making hats,
failed as cabinet maker, locomotive
builder and grocer, but, az he failed,
he "tried and tried again" until he
could stand upon his feet alone, then
crowned his victory by giving 81. .OOO,-
300 to help the poor boys in time to
oome. st
Horace Greeley tried three or four
lines of business before he founded the
Tribune, and made it worth $1,000
GOO.
Patrick Henry failed at everything
he undertook, until he made himself
the ornament of his age aud nation.
The founder Of the New York
herald kept on failing and sinking his
money for ten years. and then made
one of the most profitable newspapers
on earth.
Stephen A. Douglass made dinner
tables, bedsteads and bureaus many
long year before he made himself q
giant" on the floor Of Congress.
Abraham Lincoln failed to make
both ends meet by chopping wood,
failed to earn his salt in the galley
slave life Of Mississippi fat boatmen;
he had not even wit enough to run
grocery, and yet he made himself a
grand character of the nineteenth cen.
tury... t
General Grant failed at everything
except smoking cigare; he learned to
tan hides, bnt eonld not sell leather
enough to purchase pair of breeohes.
A dozen years ago he brought up on
top OF a wood.pile, ''teaming it" to
town for $40 per month, and yet he is
at the head OF great nation.
The lesson for every young man is
this: As long as you have the health,
and have power to do. go ahead; if you
fail at one thing try another, and a
third-a dozen even. Look at the
spider; nineteen times it tried to throw
ont its web to its place of attachment,
and on the twentieth succeeded. The
young man who has the gift of con-
tinuance ia the one whose foot will be
able to breast the hungry waters Of
human encouragement.

VlRG1N1A CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.
The congressional nags are now being
rapidly trotted out in Virginia. In
the sixth district the claims OF Major
John w. Daniel are strongly set forth
in the Lynchbug Republican. Judge
Is. w. Lacy, OF New Kent county, is
spoken OF as the conservative candidate
Tor Congress from the second congress
ional district. Col. William X. Aylett
publishes card in the West Point
Star, announcing himself candidate
for Congress from the first congress
ional district subject to the action OF a
nominating convention.
The Alexandria Sentinel, in ar
editorial favorable to Col John S.
Mostly, clearly indicates that the. guer-
rilla chief will be an independent can
didate for Congress III that Ohe sew
enth) district, and that he will be
supported by tie aforesaid Sentinel.
The friends OF Judge Joseph Chris
tian, of the Court of Appeals, have
determined, it is said, 10 present his
name as a candidate for Congress.
