A Warning Against the Pursuit Of Office.
Seeking by Young Men

The Hon. Albert q. Brown Of Missis.
sippi recently wrote letter TO a young
friend. wherein he laments that he ever
made political speech or held an office.
Ex Gov Brown was for thirty. three
years, previous to 1865, continually in
high official and political station, and
would therefore seem to have had as cx-
tcnsive and favorable an experience as
any Of his contemporaries and associates
We quote as follows:
True, as you Say, held many offices.
Indeed, may say that never knew de

young friend, do not be deceived by the
glitter of Office | am now past my three
score years, and am fast travelling into

in the gift Of the people, and can truly
say with the preacher, " it is all vanity
and rexation Of spirit. T"
Looking back over long, and l hope
not unsuccessful life, can say, with a
clear conscience my greatest regret Is
that ever made a political speech, or
held an Office.
There Is q fascination in Office which
beguiles men, but be assured, my young
friend, it is the fascination of a serpent,
or, to change the figure, it is the ignis
fdfaus which coaxes you on to inevitable
ruin.

Everybody knows Cremarks tha Figaro, from

circumstances under which Henri w. WIS ns-
sassiuated by Ray2illac, in the Rue do Ia Fer
ronerie. Ra7aillac. thrusting his arm through
the window Of the royal carriage, struck tho
King two b1ows with knife, the weapon ut
tho second stroke piercing to the heart. Then
for moment he brandished the knife dedantly;
but he was immediately arrested, aud the weapon
taken from him by an Italian attached to the
person OF the Duo d'Epernon--one pieero de
Ma'aghno. When the Court on the day OF tile
trial OF Ravaillac-May "a, 1578-reclaitned this
knife, Nalaghino declared that ho had lost in
tho crowd. This was falsehood. The Italian
having for his bobby the collection OF curiostics,
had secreted the knife Of Ravailac. and he kept
it Ill his life, leaving it as gracious relic to his
descendants.
Through soma yicissitudes now unknown the
knife passed into tue hands OF Marshal Maurice
de SAKE, who in 1850 presented it 20 his ply
sician, Or. Senac. He dying shortly attor left it
to bis son, II. Senae de Meilhan. who gave it to

PAT THE TROOPS.

We hope the Legislature will make an
appropriation at once TO pay the men of
the State militia who were sent from their
homes to various parts Of the State in the
interest of law and order. I. might be
wei! to make a special appropriation ex.
pressly limited to this object, fos there
can not be shadow Of doubt on the mind
of any one that the slight pittance which
the law accords the State troops has been
fairly and fully earned. Other claims
brought against the militia fund Of right
should be carefully scrutinized. but no
investigation. other than as to the correct.
ness of the rolls, is needed before paying
men who have earned their stipend by &C.
tive services in the field. These men
cheerfully left their homes and families at
the call Of duty--in nearly every individ.
ual case. perhaps. at an expense exceeding
the promised reimbursement land this
acknowledgment. Of their value to the
government they SO faithfully upheld
should not be kept back an hour longer
than is absolutely Necessary.
4 few thousand dollars will iiquidate
the obligation, and We hope the members
Of the Assembly will! show their apprecia.
ton Of this important branch of the State
administration by promptly sppropriating
the acquired amount.
