Cultivation of the Mind.

Cultivate the power to fix the mind
on any subject you please.
Fix the on mind the elementary prin-
ciples of all that pertains to life such
as the principles of science, of bust
ness, of politics, of government, laws
and religion.
Obtain the power of using langu-
age, and defining what you mean by
such terms as are in common use when
we speak or think.
Fill the mind with the materials of
thought; such as the facts which we
read, observe and hear.
Teach the mind where to 60 for in
formation that is, from what source
to draw.
Teach the mind how to take up a
subject, investigate it, and draw con-
illusions on which You may rely.
Cultivate the judgment as to what
facts are worth preserving, and what
are applicable in proving or illustrat-
inga particular subject.
Cultivate the memory so that the
materials which you gather may not be
dissipated and lost as fast as gathered.
Education does not mean going to
school in your boyhood, or going to
college in youth; but it means the
power to take the mind and make it an
instrument of conveying knowledge
and good impressions upon other minds
as well as being itself made happy. 10
cultivate the mind, then, does not mean
to read much or little, to converse and
to observe; but to discipline it in all

Graduating COnceit.

Humility has this consolation: 1t
finds that the greatest minds have had
the least conceit; that Shakespeare
bent down from the imperial height of
his intellect to be taught by a clown,
to be informed by milkmaid !; that
Socrates in his celebrated voyage in
search of knowledge, with his per-
petual questions concerning the cause
of things, found that knowledge in a
workman's shop which he could not
find amongst the schools of the pro-
fessors or philosophers that Newton
compared himself to a child, who,
playing on the seashore, had picked up
a shell here and stone there, and
thought them pretty, but knew of them
30 more The bullet of steel is worn
smooth and polished when it has passed
through the gizzard of an ostrich. The
most conceited young prig who ever
lived will find his level when brought
to the rude experience Of the world.

Selling His Soul.

A preacher was once down In a part
of England where the greatest ignor-
ance prevailed along with a belief in
witchcraft. One morning he got up
early and met a laborer going to his
work, and, after variety of questions,
he asked him if he had ever prayed to
God. The man said not as he knowed
of; he never troubled his head about
such things as them. You're just the
man I want, said the preacher. and
ultimately got him to promise that he
never would pray if he gave him half
a crown The man promised and took
the money. and the stranger vanished.
When the man got to work he turned
the thing over and over again and
growing more and more troubled with
dark suspicious about the stranger, he
finally left his work, went home and
told his wife. The good dame who
was very superstitious was more trou-
bled than Hodge himself, and amongst
other significant questions, asked if be
noticed the strangers head and feet
No, said Hodge, he had hat and boots
on.
All said the woman, I see it all now,
you don know what they might cover.
| shouldn't wonder if it wasn't am
sure it was. You have sold yourself
body and soul to the devil, john
know you have. That settled the
matter, and John was knocked over
altogether, and he fell i'll both in body
and mind. His wife persuaded him tC
go and hear a man who was to preach
in Mr.. Piper's barn, and who might
possibly do him some good. The mar
preached from the words: wv hat
Shall it profit man, if he gain the
whole world and lose his own soulY
And when he told his hearers that he
knew a man who sold his soul for hall
a crown, adding, souls are evidently
cheaper now than they were in those
days. Hodge saw it all then, and wher
the sermon was over he went to the
man, and, with tears in his eyes, be-
sought him to take back the halfcrown
who then knelt down and prayed with
the penitent peasant. One can scarce
Iy commend the preacher for using this
stratagem, bit perhaps he saw further
down into that poor mans heart thar
we can imagine who only read the
story.

In Position.

William Slade, resident of the 8th
ward, returned from the Black Hills
the other day. Our reporter called at
the house to see what interesting fact
could be cleaned in regard to the gold
country, and found William in good
health. After some little conversation
our reporter asked:
Didn't John James go with you?'
Yes, sir"
Did he also return?"
mo ). he didn t want to come"
Doing well, was hep"
HE seemed to be"
"Was he making money!"
II don't think he was, answered
William. He wasn't working very
hard when | last saw him."
Had a good fair position for the
winter, at least?" queried the reporter.
1T seemed to be good position. and
/ suppose he'll hold it all winter. He
is in a box, and about four feet under
ground, and | don't know why he
shouldn't stay there?"
That was all William had to say, and
about all he cared to tell regarding the
Hills.

THE CHRONICLE FOR THE CAM.
PAIGN.

In view of the approaching presi-
Dental campaign, it is to be anticlpa-
ted that an increased demand will
arise for prompt and accurate politi-
cal intelligence. With view Of sup
plying this demand, we desire to say
that we shall always in future, as in
the past, endeavor to keep up with
the exigences of the times; all infor-
nation in regard to both the presi-
Dental campaign and the county can
vass will be given with promptitude
and accuracy to the utmost of our
ability, and the comments which we
may feel called upon to make on the
events which may arise will be dicta-
ted by the same principles which have
hitherto been our guide. These are
the vigorous advocacy of REFORM and
uncompromising hostility to corrup-
ton in Federal affairs, maintaining
our adhesion to the cause of Tilden
and Hendricks. who were our choice
as candidates for the Presidency long
before the convention at st. Louis
and in State politics the conscientious
maintenance of the credit of the State.
Our subscription list is at this time
larger and more lucrative than it has
been since our journal was first offered
to the public in 1893, and to adverti-
sers we may say without presumption,
that no better medium of publicity
can be procured throughout this re-
gion of country.

The Uneasy Insurance COMPANIES.

1t is stated in insurance circles that
the effect of the late decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the
Southern Insurance cases reaches far
wider than was at first supposed. Its
said that the principle laid down by
the Court is such that all parties who
have taken out a policy of life insur-
ance and then failed through one cause
or another to continue the payment Of
the premiums, can recover an equitable
value of the amounts so paid by them.
The companies of course will not ad-
init that such broad latitude of con-
struction shall be given to the opinion
of the Court, but the probability is
that, as this view is taken by so many
of the legal profession, considerable
additional litigation will grow out of
the matter.

The biggest tree in California is not
in the Yosemite Valley. Kings River
Valley in Fresno county is 5000 feet
above the sea, and its walls, which are
about 1900 feet high, are very precipit-
Gus. In this valley a new grove of
colossal redwood trees has been dis
covered. One of them eclIpses all
that have been discovered on the Pa
cific coast. Its circumference, as high
as man can reach and pass tape
line around, is a few inches less than
$50 feet. This is beyond the measure
ment of any tree in the Calaveras
grove. The height is estimated at
100 feet; and a part of the top, lying
on the ground, is over 100 feet in
length.

soon as the last hymn was sung, he got
up and said that he had call from a
church in the far West, and that he
had made up his mind that it was his
duty to accept it. tie went on to say
that he would like to go that same
week, and then, without so much as
tellin us that he was sorry to leave US,

when we got out mornin', and some OF
the folks thought we ought to pint a
committee to ask Miss Ormsby about
it. but brother Ralph said, No; il
they was goin' let'em go peaceable !;
so they all agreed to say nothin' at all.

parsonage late on Saturday afternoon
that Mr. Ormsby brought the biscuits

conference, by vote of one hundred
and twelve to one, adopted report at
its late session declaring that ! the
commissioners of the Methodist Epis-
copal church transcribed their pow
ers " in agreeing with the southern
Methodist commissioners on a basis of
fraternity. The most important of the
resolutions adopted is the following
THAT in our Judgment the basis Of
fraternity adopted, by going back to
the past and recognizing the legitimacy
of distinct ecclesiastical organization,
which had no other justification for its
origin and separate existence than
slavery, is in violence of the history
and principles of the Methodist Epis-
copal church"
