Honor your Business.

1t is good sign when man is proud
OF his work or calling. Yet nothing is
more common than to hear men finding
fault constantly with their particular bust
ness, and deeming themselves unfortunate
because fastened to it by the necessity of
gaming livelihood. In this men fret,
and laboriusly destroy all their comfort in
the work; or they change their business,
and go on miserably, shifting from one
thing to another till the grave or the poor
house gives them fast grip. But while
occasionally man fails in life because he
is not in the place fitted to his peculiar
talent, 1T happens ten times oftener that
failure results from neglect and even con-
tempt of an honest business.
A man should put his heart into every
thing that he does. There is no profession
that has not its peculiar cares and vexa-
tions. No man will escape annoyance by
changing his business. No mechanical
business is altogether agreeable. Com
merce, in all its varieties. is affected, like
other pursuits with trials, unwelcome du-
ties, spirit firing necessities. 1t is the very
wantonness of folly for man to search out
the frets and burdens of his calling and
give his mind every day to consideration
of them. They are inevitable.
Brooding over them only gives them
strength. On the other hand man has
power given him to shed beauty and pleas
ure on the homliest thing, if he is only
wise. Let man adopt his business and
identify it with pleasant associations for
Heaven has given us Imagination, not only
to make us poets; but to enable all men to
beautify homely things. Heart varnish
will cover up innumerable evils and de-
tects. Look at the good things. Accept
your lot as man does piece of rough
ground, and begin to get out the rocks and
roots, to deepen and mellow the soil, to
enrich and plant it. There is something
in the forbidding avocation around which
man may Irvine pleasant fancies, out of
which he may develop an honest pride.

A lighthouse Built Under Difaculties.

Major George 8. Elliott, U. S. A., in Van
Nostrand's Electic Magazine for February,
says: "a celebrated French lighthouse is
that of Fleaux de Brehat, a recent erection,
based upon huge and treacherous por-
phyry rock, for ages a terror of every sea-
man who approached the Brittany Coast.
Its architect had to encounter every species
of obstacles during his work, but above all
incessant races and eddies Of the sea among
the neighboring sandbanks. The founda-
tions had to be sought for far beneath low
water; an artificial port had to be created;
the necessary stone work was hewn and
shaped on the Island of Brehat, seven miles
distant. Even while the foundations had
appeared above the water, the lower walls
of the lower story were submerged twice a
day, leaving heavy deposits of marine
plants, shell and sea weed. The workmen
live in hnts upon reef to which they
retired when the tioa rose, and thus they
pushed on their labors, quarrying and
sqtsaring at enc time, arranging and fixing
at aaother. Theirs was masonry almost
without merar The blocks were groosed
and literally slovstailed together, the course
being connected, as ii were by cogs, 20 that
every part relicl upon every other, the
result being, as nesrsy as possible, an abso-
luta cohesion Ii spite Of this happy issue,
tile reporting architects would not recon-
mend similar exp liinenis IN the future.

The Presidential Question.
Yours truly,
W. T. SHERMAN.

GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK AS A
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
The Concord IN. H. Patriot, one of the
oldest Democratic organs in New England,
proclaims it's preference for General VIM
field S. Hancock as the Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency. 1t says:
" There is one man in the Democratic
ranks, the mention of whose name sends
terror into the Republican camp. The
name of that man is General Winfield Scott
Hancock. They know perfectly well that
Hancock can carry Pennsylvania ana New
York, with an equal chance for Ohio,
against any man the Republicans can bring
against him, even Governor Hayes They
know, too, that Hancock can carry eyery
Southern State, and should Trumbull be
put on to the same ticket with him that it
would secure Illinois. We have no hesita-
tion in saying that Hancock would carry
New Hampshire by handsome majority,
and if Blaine is thrown overheard by the
Republicans Hancock would receive the
electoral vote of Maine and of Connecti-
cut.
ROSCOE CoNKLING AS THE ssYoUNG AMER
The Buffalo Express says: Roscoe
Conkling is forty-six years eld-in the very
flush of manhood-and the Worcester Spy
says that he &c can afford to watt So he
can. He has great future before him.
But why not enlist the services of states
man who, though comparatively young, has
had great experience, while his faculties are
at their best? Why wait until a man be-
gins to break down physically and mental
ly before calling him to responsible post
that demands the exercise of a mans best
powers OF mind and, body? 1t is true that
even in 1880 Mr.. Conkling would still be
younger than John Adams, Jefferson, Mon
roe, Madison, John Quincy Adams, An
drew Jackson, Harrison, Buchanan or Lin
coin, when chosen President; out still, it
would have been much better for the coun-
try if some of these eminent men had been
called to Office sooner. Senator Conkling
is sound and vigorous in mind and body.
If we take him now we take him at his
best. He is the favorite son of the Empire
State, and will go into the coming canvass
with backing that will certainly place
him in the front rank of the strong candi-
dates at the Centennial Convention. Why
not have young mems candidate for Pres
ident for once? The country has been too
often cursed with the decayed powers of
old age in the White House. Roscoe Conk-

letter has been received here:

ions on the points of your inquiry, I cannot
hesitate to answer you in such a way as to
admit of no misconstruction. never have
been, am not now and never shall be cam

always prefer to see that office filled by one
of the millions who in the civil war stood
by the Union firmly and unequivocally, and
of those | notice many names willing and
capable. Prominent among them is that
of General Hayes, now Governor of Ohio,
whom VIC know as fine officer and gem
tleinan in every sense. do not, however,
wish to be misunderstood as presuming to
advise anybody in the choice of the man.
My wife and family are strong Catholics,
but am not. That, however, is nobody's
business. l believe in tho common schools,
and don't stop over the little matters which
seem to be exaggerated by the press. In
some quarters however, these schools are
extravagant and indulge in costly buildings
and expensive teachers, SO as TO be too
heavy a burden to the taxpayers. This
tendency ought to be checked, which may
easily be done without making it political
question. Self-interest will regulate this,
and make them free schools to all and ca
pable of imparting the rudiments of a good
English education. Yours truly,

Lawyer is Dead.

Our correspondent in North Idaho says
that Lawyer is dead. This is all the knowl-
edge we have of his demise and we take it
he has died very recently. To say that
Lawyer was remarkable man, although
true in every sense of the word, falls short
of giving an idea of his real character. In
speaking of Indian chiefs we generally at
tach credit to them as warriors. Black
hawk, Red Jacket, Tecumsch and many
other chiefs have their names handed down
in history as remarkable men, but their char
acters were the very reverse of Lawyers.
Although the head chief Of the most pow
erful tribe of Indians in the north h-west he
was always for peace and on friendly terms
with the white people and the Government.
No one knows how old Lawyer was, nor
did he know himself. He has told us he
well remembered Lewis and Clark and
thought he was nearly a man grown at that
time. Lewis and Clark visited this coun-
try i'm 1906, 70 years ago, which would make
Lawyer about 80 years old at his death,
which was very probably the case. He re-
ceived the Rev. Mr.. Spalding and other mis-
sionaries who came amongst his people in
1886, with great kindness. Col. Craig and
Doctor Newell who left the American Fur
Company about that time and settled with
the Nez Perces were also kindly received.
So it has been with him toward the whites.
In all the wars with the Indians on this
coast the Nez Perce nation has been friend
ly. This fact was owing to the power and
influence Of Lawyer. Therefore we say he
was greater and more remarkable in the
| true sense of the werd than those who are
counted great in history. We never had
much affection for Indian character, but We
venture to say if there ever was one whose
true life and character is worthy of the per
of the historian it is Lawyer, the chief o.
the Nez Perces.-Idaho Statesman.

LONDON, February 4.-Rev. Alexander
ID. Mackonochie, the curate of the noted
"high church % st. Albans, Brooke street,
Holborn, sends to the newspapers to-day a
document signed by about 100 prominent
ritualist clergymen, fairly representative
men. including most, if not all, who have
been subject to ecclesiastical prosecution,
dlsclaiming connection or sympathy with
any movement looking to the subordination

subject have been awakened by Lord PEN

to Rome by allowing them to retain certain
privileges. The Cardinal came to Rome to
defend this scheme, but the Congregation
OF Rites persistently opposed it. 'ef

His Lodge.

1t got so at last, says the Detroit Free
Press, that his wife began to wonder what
business "the lodge I" had on hand that it
should meet four or five times per week.
He was out four nights week until eleven
O'Clock, and he came home with redness in
his eyes, and his step was unsteady as he
passed down the hall. He said "the lodge"
business was mighty hard on the muscles,
and that candidates were coming In by the
hundreds. One night he groaned out in
his sleep, and talked of &C the right bower,o
and yelled out "spades p and the wife
wondered still more. The other evening
she took position where she could see who
went up stairs into the lodge rooms. Her
husband passed by and entered place
where rows of bottles adorn the shelves,
and spice and coffee stand in saucer ON
the counter to purify the breath. When
she went in lie was one of four at ta-
BILE. Each one of the four was looking at
the pictures ON some cards held in his
hand.
$50 this is the lodge, is it?" she inquir-
ed, as she stood before him.
He was caught. and he resolved to make
a clean breast Of it. He laid his cards
r.wn, rose up and gave her his arm and
said
II won't lie to you, Mary. This is not
the lodge room-this is where we stop fora
minute to beat the blasted enemies of our
craft ont Of their surplus greenbacks
