Be Your O,Dn Right-Hand Man.

People who have been bolstered up all
their lives are seldom good for anything
in crisis. When misfortune comes, they
look around Tor somebody to cling to or
lean upon. II the prop is not there, down
they 60. Once down they are as help
less as a capsized turtle, and they cannot
find their feet again without assistance.
Such persons no more resemble men who
have fought their way 10 position, making
difficulties their stepping-stones and de-
irving determination from their defeat,
than vines resemble oaks, or spluttering
rush lights the stars OF heaven.
Efforts persisted into achievements
train a man to self-reliance, and then
be has proven that the world can
trust him. One OF the best lessons a
father can give his son is this: Work;
strengthen your moral faculties as you
would strengthen your muscle by vigor-
Gus exercise. Learn to conquer circum-
stances; you are then independent OF
fortune. The men of athletic minds, sho
left their mark on the years in which
they lived, were all trained in rough
school. They did not mount to their
position by the help OF leverage; they
leaped the chasm. grappled with the op-
posing rocks, avoided avalanches. and
when the goal was reached felt that. but
for the toll that had strengthened them q
they strove, it could never have been
obtained,

Food, Woyk dnd Sleep.

The things that man most needs ia this
world, are food, WORK and sleep. lie
doesn't need riches, houors, nor Office, 10
live. lie needs society because he IS
made for i. lie must love aud be loved
his life and happiness are promoted by
companion,hip; mutual dependence and
counsel enlarge hope aud stimulate
courage. Yet after all, he lives it his
friends die. There is 10 grief, no form
OF bereavement, but has It's consolation.
The best preserver OF q mans lie il con-
tentmeLt. Nor is work destructive of
strength. Men LOOK forward to life Of
rest, to q life OF ease, which TO them
means cessation from tolls and from the
care of business. They mistake the
cause Of weariness. Il is not WORK it
is care, it is over-eXertion, it is ambition
and desire after gain that bring worn and
weary feelings All we possess we pos
sess IN lile. The sooner we get through
with lite the sooner We relinquish our
possessions. The faster a man lives the
quicker he reaches the end OF life. There
are three ends TO lie, and death is the
last and least desirable Of them. One
end is 10 live. That j. why we were
created to live. and live as long and As
well as we can. Some 20 murmuring
and groaning on their way, IS though
life was burden, and that il is piety to
put low estimate on it, The opposite
is true. A man should seek TO live out
all hi. days, and he cannot accomplish il
in better wa than by using every
means to promote lite Among these
means are the three things mentioned at
the head OF this article. When a man
denies himself sleep, food, and the exer-
else work gives, brain and body work,
he robs his lite of lis lull term. Let him
be cheerful also. He is ike an engine,i
will run well and long, if it is well oiled.
Contentment and cheerluness are the
oil. which keep the nerves from wearing
out. Busy men aud women think that
time taken from toll, Tor sleep and recrea-
ton, is time lost. 1t is really the cement
put in to ill up the joints, to keep out the
weather, and preserve the building.

The fate of Mr.. Hancock, of Texas, is

The fate of Mr.. Hancock, of Texas, is
an instructive one. He was one of the
few from that section who were true to
their country during the war, and, being
a democrat on other than war issues, he
has acted with that party since the surren-
der. At the last election for United
States Senator, however, he was defeated
for that Office by Gov. Coke, bitter and
boastful Confederate, and as much so now
as when the war was raging. An effort
by the Union men among the democrats
was made last month to secure the renom-
ination OF Mr.. Hancock to Congress from
the Fifth District of Texas, but it failed, a
Confederate ex- Colonel being chosen in
stead The most striking feature of cases of
this kind is that the conduct.of the Confed-
crate wing of the Southern Democracy has
grown more and more reckless as there
have been signs of a possible restoration
to power in the National Government.

Is it Really Tweed?

The confirmation of Tweed's arrest at
vigo was contained exclusively in our
special cable dispatches from London and
Madrid yesterday. They made clear,
consistent story out of what had been on
ly mysterious and unintelligible rumor
How Tweed got to Vigo, why he was ar
rested and by whose direction. what dis
position was to be made of him, why
Spain should seize him without the obliga-
tons Of a treaty of eXtradition, was utter
ly unknown. Tue facts stated in our dis
patches explained these mysteries. We
have authority from London, Vigo and
Madrid for saying that Tweed sailed from
Santiago de Cuba for Vigo to escape im-
mediate arrest by Jovelar; that General
Gushing notified the Spanish government
of the fact, and that Spain. as an act OF
friendship. detained him as a criminal.
and will deliver him to the United States
government. OF the accuracy of these
facts there is no question. In Cuba they
thought the fugitive to be Tweed, in Spain
they thought so. and the only reason for
doubt is the possibility of case of mis-
taken identity. and that is remote. There
are not many men who look like Tweed.
for Nature broke the mould when she had
made the man.
There are many wise persons who will
never believe that Tweed is captured till
they see him in New York. There was a
man who knew another man who heard a
man say-not that man. but another man
that he would bet one thousand dollars
Tweed was not a hundred miles away
from the city. There was a a waiter who
was bringing some chops and tomato
sauce, who overheard mysterious con-
versation beginning, Eve been to see
Bill !" There was chambermaid in a no.
tel with warming pan and very grave
doubts about the habeas corpus. These
are the people of whom Hamlet speaks.
who shave their heads and pronounce such
doubtful phrases as, "Well, well, we
know" or I'VE could, an if we would"
or ''If we list to speak or There be, an
If they might" But they never tell the
secret. But whenever Tweed is captured
there will be almost as many 81 told you
