VICE PREslDnNf WhSos, whose mortal
remains have just been laid in their final
resting place at Natick, Mass, was an
example Of the uncei tainty Of fortune,
In this country II is not always the of
spring of wealthy parents--not the child
born to fortune-that reaches the sum
nit of human ambition, This man who
reached the second highest rank in the
Government, tells US till he was 81 he
had not had in all one dollar to spend.
After he was 81 he worked at shoe
making for $5 a week, So of which went
for his board. When thus situated he
made up his mind to "go to school," He
did 80, and died Vice President Of the
United States. This noted example, pc
culiar, we may say to America and our
institutions, should encourage the youth
of our country. Remember the motto,
"do right and trust in God" '- W ''- ~
Henry Wilson was an earnest man
faithful to what he considered right
conscience was an element in his charac-
ter. Our examples are numerous ofgreat
success In individual instances. We may
name in addition, Andrew Jackson, John
Jacob Astor, BENZ. Franklin, Stephen
Girard, Andrew Johnson.
Success is great thing in this world.
singleness Of purpose, unremitting effort,
are essential elements. Hope, faith, en-
ergy seize and hold the mind, The boys
brought up in the lap Of wealth and lux
ury, trimmed and schooled in general
culture ableto shine in company and at
the dinner table, may promise fair But
the plodding youth, obscure and poor,
unburdened with the fashionable ar.
rangements ofsociety, using his time in
appropriating and assimilating solid nu-
triment, finally enters the race of life
and distances all the dilettantes Of So
ciety. ........ u.f ...
The great revivalists, Moody and San
key, are living examples. Their unsel-
fish devotion and earnestness constitute
the great secret of their success. They
give up all to their mission, and their
success is wonderful. "ChurChes, creeds,
dogmas, are nothing to them but gar.
ments and wrappings; they only see
humanity before them soon to die, with
heaven above and hell beneath and Jesus
waiting, and they tell of these with ter
rible sincerity" The multitudes that
rush to hear and come away deeply af-
fected verify the power of Sankey's sim.
pie songs and Moodys ungrammatical
talks. The eminent preachers of culture
and fame wonder, themselves, at the
manifestations, and call it Gods own
work. '. .

that there was no possibility Of harmony.
But it seems the Democratic caucps was

when on the third ballot Mr.. Kerr re-

the utmost courtesy and friendliness,

IFGeneral Babcock's record were en-
tireIy above suspicion, the public would
be slow to believe that he had any Grim
inal relations to the St. Louis Whisky
Ring. But it is we'll known that General
Babcock has grown rapidly rich in Wash
ington, and is the owner of several fine
blocks of buildings. At least such is the
report. He was also instrumental in as
sisting to swindle the United States in
the street measurements of that city
when Boss Shepherd was at the head OF
the Ring in the District of Columbia. AS
the Superintendent of Public Buildings,
it was the duty of Babcock to protect the
interests of the Government but the evil
dence went to show that he was much
more in sympathy with the all-Consum-
ing Ring than with the Government. If
he was hand in glove with one rascally
ring, there is no reason to suppose that
he had constitutional scruples above as
sociating himself with another CEnctn-
natl Commercial. l.......t. ,.u.....
And yet "Bab" has been all this time
the private and confidential secretary Of
the great Bonanzer of the White House.
And the President and his policy are en-
dorsed by the "party OF great moral
ideas" In this case, does the old rule
apply, ''like master, like man% F."

self-sustaining. The revenues for the
past year were $27,441 1850 81, and the
expenditures $8S,6ll, ,3O9 45. The esti-
mated deficiency in revenue for the fiscal
year is set down at the enormous sum Of

ant recommendation made is that of re-
pealing the increase of postage on tran
