The preliminary business of the Joint con.
ventioM having been disposed of, and the roll
being about to be called for ballot lor U. s.
Senator,-
Senator Hubbard said the attention of this
body had no doubt been attracted to rumored
cases of improper influences which had been
brought to bear in the interests OF one OF the
candidates before this convention, and in order
to give the gentlemen whose names have been
used in this connection chance to vindicate
themselves, he moved that Messrs. Ingerson
and Gaskill be invited to make statement OF
the facts in the cases alluded to.
MIR. Drake had no objections to these gentle
men rising to personal explanation, but he
raised point of order. This convention, as
convention, can only record its vote on the
question as to who shall be United States Sen
ator; it has no right to pass motion Of this
kind though these gentlemen have an un-
doubted right to rise to personal explanation
Drake that in voting they could make any ex-
tplanatiOn they please, but did not think it COM
petent for this convention to ask them to do
so.
Mr.. Petit urged that this question should be
investigated by a committee before whom both
parties can be heard
MIR. Cox believed this question Of privilege
and that the gentleman had right to make
their statements in Joint convention
Mr.. Mcdonald insisted that the convention
had right to invite them to do 80 if it saw iit.
and if It so determined there was no appeal
from its decision.
Mr.. Drake insisted that the motion was not
in order. This convention has no right to in
vite anybody to make an explanation persona.
to themselves, though the gentlemen have a
perfect right to make such explanation if they
wish. :
The speaker ruled the question in order.
and the motion Of Mr.. Hubbard was adopted.
Mr.. INGERsoN
Said the position was one very embarrassing
to him aud he could now only say that the re-
ports " hich have appeared in the papers, 60
far as they relate to himself, have some basis
in TACT. A bribe of $500 to vote for Senator
Ramsey was offered him in the Billiard Hall of

was subsequently repeated in the stret The

ERRORS IN PRINTING.

The London Times says, probably
one of the worst businesses under
the sun is that of a printer. His
every deed seeks the light of day
Those of the lawyer lie in dark box
es and between musty shelves-the
doctor places his Indifferent handi-
work in the earth-the trsdesman
has but his customer to please, and
satisfying him his work is ended. -
But the printer every ignoramus
spells over the work of the printer.
Fellows, who would find it impossi>
bic to put twenty letters together
dramatically will point out with
glee fault in his work-indeed, it
is usually this class of individuals
who make it point of finding out
every little discrepancy. Did the
public know the thousands of differ
ent characters, different letters and
atoms comprised in printers every
day life-did they but know the va
riety Of altogether foreign subjects
he has to set up, read, correct and
revise day after day-they would
wonder how he kept out of the luna
tic asylum. But practice makes
perfect, and constant friction has
rubbed off all the rough edges from
the character of the man of letters
nothing takes effect upon him--he
can view errors of the most frightfuI
description with calmness. After
all, what is an error, grammatical or
otherwiseY Simply SO many times
out of place, that's all, and quite
euough--but not enough to upset the
equanimity of the printer.

SAVING AND HAVING.

Either a man must be content with
poverty all his life, or else be will
ing to deny himself some Injuries,
and save, to lay the base of inde-
pendence in the future. But if a
man dofes the future, and spends all
he earns whether his earnings be
one dollar or ten dollars every day, }
let him look for lean and hungry
want at some future time-for it will
surely come no matter what he
thinks.
To save is absolutely the only way
to get solid fortune there is no
other certain mode. Those who
shut their eyes and ears to these
plain facts will be forever poor, and
for their obstinate rejection of the
truth mayhap will die in rags and
filth. Let them SO die, and thank
themselves. But no! They take a
sort of recompenSe in cursing for
tune. Great waste of breath.
They might as well curse noun
tains and eternal hills. For we can
tell them fortune does not give away
her real and substantial goods. She
sells them to the highest bidder, tC
the hardest and wisest worker fol
the boon. Men never make so fataI
a mistake as when they think them
selves creatures Of fate tits the
sheerest folly in the world.
Every man may make or mar hi;
life, which ever he may choose
Fortune is for those who, by dill
gence, honesty, frugality, place
themselves in position to grasp hole
of fortune when it appears in view
The best evidence of frugality is the
five hundred dollars or more stand
ing in your name at the savings
bank. The best evidence of frugal
ty is both diligence and frugality.

HARD TIMES.

We copy the following sensible ar.
ticIe from the Lagrange Reporter on
the "times." We commend it to
every one of our readers considera-
ton:
Yes, these are hard times and
times were hard last year, and the
year before that, and before the panic,
and even before the war, when we
call had so many niggers." There
never was time when times were
not hard. There never was a time
when the mass of men did not have
to struggle for a living; never time
when it was easy to make money,
easy to save it, and easy to have a
big balance of net profit at the end
of the year. Money making, except
with dishonest persons. or unscrupu-
lous spectators, is a slow process !;
not only slow, but it is laborious and
beset with difficulties innumerable.
Under favorable circumstances, it
generally takes a lite time to accu>
mulate fortune.
There is no necessity, then for so
much gloom and dependency on &C
count of "hard times" There are
many failures at the present time,
and there were always many failures,
even in the best days of the country.
On the other hand, there are success
ses now in business, as there have
always been successes. The bold,
prudent, industrious man has ten
chances to one in favor of success
When men fail, it is generally for
the lack of one or more of these
qualities.
A prosperous community is one
made up of prosperous individuals.
The rule for individual prosperity
may be given in four words. "Live
within your income" To those who
are disheartened at the past and OPP
pressed with gloomy forebodings, we
would say Make close calculation
of your probable income for the next
year-allowing broad margin for
losses and mishaps-and then deter>
mine that your expenses shall not
exceed it. Carry out this determi-
nation, labor heartily six days in the
week, rest and worship God on the
seventh, live in love and charity
with your neighbors, trust in mer~
ciful over-ruling Providence, and
you will never come to want.

HOW A WOMAN MADE A FOR.
TUNE.

The Laramie Sentinel says: Six
years ago Mrs. Mary Ahart was liv-
irg in a little tent on the edge of
town. Her whole worldly possess
ions consisted of this tent, a straw
bed, two or three boxes which serv-
ed as chairs and table, a little seven
or eight year old girl, and two COWS
and calves. She sold the spare milk
OF these two cows, carrying it around
town with tin pail, and with the
product, and from work which she
did for her neighbors, supported
herself and child. When she could
get So or 50 ahead she would buy
another calf or yearling. 1t is not
our purpose, adds the Sentinel, to
trace her progress up to the present
time infinitely, but the result is she
now, in less than seven years, has
several hundred head of cattle, fine
farm with nice buildings and i'm
provements, comfortable, even
lnxuriant homeland, instead of car
rying milk around by hand, rides in
her own carriage. Her daughter is
a young lady, educated and accom-
plished. To-day Mrs. Ahart's prop
erty is valued at from $40, 900 to
$4,000. And she has made it all
by honest industry and good mans
agement. She has had no outside
help. She never had a government
contract or fell heir to any properly.

IDLENEss is demoralizing to any
community, and the great trouble
our young men are unwilling to
commence on a farm in a small way
and work themselves up on larger
scale of farming. STUNNING on a
guitar or singing love ditties under a
pretty girls window, at midnight,
may do very we'll if the serenader
has been steadily at work during the
day but if the sun rises and sets
upon the idler, it seems to US that
any pretty girl of sense would rath-
err sleep soundly than be awakened
by man with an operate voice and
an empty pocket book.
