Failures---What They Teach.

The numerous failures and suspen-
sions which have made the commercial
world, since the panic of 1873, one of
constant upheaval and change, should
be utilized by those fortunate ones who
have thus far escaped disaster and by
those who are entering for the first time
the field of business life, for the lessons
that may be drawn from them. Fail
ures, like every species of mishap, only
follow from sufficient cause; and usu-
ally it is one that could have easily been
counteracted or avoided if the fact of its
existence had not been unknown. And
it is Just here that we find so many of
our business men weak. In their ac-
quaintance with their own business,
they lack that complete command of
the calling they have prOfessedly made
themselves master of, which alone ena-
bles one to understand and avoid its
dangerous points.
The man who makes study of, or
who devotes time to, an accurate and
scientific education in the business he
has chosen, as a means for the accumu-
latiOn of wealth, is now rarely found
and it seems to US that large number
of the failures of the last three years
might Justly be attributed to this cause.
The idea seems to prevail that busi-
ness transacted on ones own account is
a kind of perpetual motion, that, once
started, will not only keep itself in ope-
ration, but may be drawn upon to an
almost unlimited extent for the means
to sustain other enterprises. The in
ventor who spends yeaFs in attempting
to realize his impossible machine is rot
more certain of failure than he who
starts in business with such expectation.
The time when money could be made
by ignoramuses, and when wealth could
be had almost for the taking, has faded
far away in the dim past; and an era
of strife and struggle has dawned, in
which only those who have most care
fully prepared themselves for the war
fare can hope TO succeed.
1t is not luck that makes one man fail
and his neighbor succeed; it is not
tickle fortune that brings clouds of diff
culties upon one while another has ap-
parently plain sailing; it is something
far more certain in its operations than
either of these. 1t is skill and perfect
command of his resources that enables
one man to advance where another can
make no progress; and these two quail
tiles are possessed only by those who
have made their business the one thing
they must become perfectly familiar
with.
The world is not yet so crowded that
any need 90 to the wall to support the
rest: there is room for all, and an abun-
dance to spare. The great want is for
more men who are well qualified for
work, and who will put their shoulders
to the wheel and push. Any person
who is determined to win, and who
unites with his perseverance sense
enough to know that success comes on
Iy to those who deserve it, by the pa
tience and skill with which they toll,
has before him an uninviting field for
labor, and may enter it with the assur-
ance that, if his efforts are rightly di-
rected, they will meet with sure re-
ward .-NortFo0eSter7a L1tnlbernaGn.

MOOn-Struck.

A reader, says the Cincinnati Gazette,
wants to know whether the changes of
the moon have any effect on the wealth
er, and, if so, why. He also asks
whether lunatics are influenced by lu-
mar changes, and, if not, why are they
thus called. In regard to the first of
these points we may say in brief that
modern men of science are about unan-
imous in denying that the moon infiu-
ences any thing but the tides. The pop
ular impression from time immemOrial
has been to the opposite From this
impression madmen derived their name.
Whatever may be the fact in regard to
the moon having any thing to do with
insanity, the writer can affirm that he
has seen one case, at least, where a
man became raving maniac at the
full of the moon, recovering his senses
when exhaustion had put an end to his
wild demonstrations, and continuing in
apparent soundness of mind until a few
days before the full he experienced
premonitions of his approaching par
oxysms. He was person of intelli-
gence, and well off pecuniarily, and
was a voluntary inmate of an asylum,
being free to 60 in and out except
during this week or so of each
month, when ne was bereft of his rea-
son. We state the case as it was, leav-
ing its explanation to psychologists
and physiologists. There is wide
spread belief that the moons rays are
inimical to health. This, we think,
has been pronounced superstition by
men of science. We are not prepared
to dispute their verdict; yet an instance
that is well authenticated seems to JUS
tify doubt iu their infallibility. Some
forty years ago, in an Eastern State,
two little girls, cousins, occupied the
same bed. They retired in apparent
health, but awoke in the morning dead
lame. One was never able to walk af-
forwards, while the other, after using
iron supports to her ankles for few
years with partial success, was COM
PEELED to give up all attempts at loco
motion. There was no cause that could
be ascribed for this double visitation
with any plausibility, except that the
moon was very bright on the unlucky
night, and that its rays shown full on
the bed where the girls lay. 1t was al
ways believed that they were "moon-
struck" if they were not no one could
assign a reason for their lameness.

The Lost Darling.

Thursday, about O'Clock, large,
fat, red-faced old lady, apparently Just
in from the rural districts, came INTO
the captains office of the Centennial
Guard at the Main Building. She was
dressed in country style, and weeping
as if her big heart would break. Inc
handsome, jovial, little Capt. H., who
always looks as though he had Just come
out of a band-bOx, came forward, and
in the sweetest tones said: "My dear
madam, what is the matter? Can L do
any thing for you?" After sobbing
few moments she managed to tell him
her sad story, Accompanied by her
daughter and other members of the
family she had come in from the coun-
trv on an excursion train that morning,
and about twelve O'Clock she had miss
ed her darling little daughter Eva She
had hunted every where for her' Out
could not find her, and oh, she knew
her little Eva was lost, and maybe some
men had carried her off as Charley Ross
had been carried away, and again the
GOOD woman commenced crying. Inc
captain told her her that he would have
the guards hunt up her child and asked
for description of her which the Old
lady gave as follows Wore apink pop
lin dress with yellow flowers on 1t,
white Marseilles sacque with pink sash
and bows ofribbOn of same color, straw
hat trimmed with green and red flowers,
striped stockings, black petticoat, red
corset, dark complexion, and all the
Young fellows in their neighborhood call
a 'sboss girl" The captain sent the
description to the guards on duty, with
instructions to keep lookout for the
Girl. The old lady embraced the cap
tain in her Joy at the prospect of finding
her little girl. About an hour afterwards
she appeared, and, with her face beam
inc with Joy, said: &c have found her;
here she is" and what a fairy-like
form met the viewl There she stood,
dressed as the old lady had stated, D
feet ten inches tall, weighing l65 pounds,
wearing No. 9 shoes and No. lO OF
gloves, age twenty years, low forehead
turn-up nose, and a mouth so large that a
common-sized ham-sandwich would get
lost in it-and this was the lost darling
that the police were to look out for.
Not a day passes but what a number OF
children are reported to the captain 5
office as lost, their ages ranging from
four to twenty years. Pk''GdetP''d

A Shrewd Plagiarist.

Sam. b, having graduated at one
of our New England colleges, IN cast
ing about for a profession, concluded
that he had a call to preach. Accord
ingly he gave few months to studying
for the ministry, and was finally or
dained and settled. Sam. was smart IN
his way, and extremely good LOOKING
but we never considered him much OF
scholar. His memory was good, OuI
his reasoning faculties were OF 10"
order. For a wife he married pretty
and intelligent lady who had been
teacher in the academy OF the town
where he was settled, and he became
popular with his people.
By and by one of his old college
mates paid hi1n visit, spent a Sabbath
with him and heard him preach. Inc
visitor was surprised at the depth ana
power of the sermon.
"Sam.," said he, as they sat in the
study together, show in the world d'd
you get up that sermonp
"Rather good, wasn't it?"
"One of the best | ever heard. How
did you do it?"
"You can keep a secrets" "
"Of course"
swell, I'll tell you. My wife IS
scholar. She selects sermons for me
and translates them into Latin. Ther
I take her translation, without having
seen the original, and re-translate
into English. The sermoA you hear'
to-day was one of DIR. Clarke's; and
don't believe he could have recognizes
it if he had heard it himself"

A Simple Method of Preserving Ice.

For some years, says the London
Lancet, it has been the practice OF MIR.
Sampson Gamgee to cut piece of tlan-
mel about nine inches square and secure
it by igature round the mouth of an or
dinary tumbler, so as to leave q cup
shaped depression of flannel within the
tumbler to about half its depth. In the
flannel cup so constructed pieces of ice
may be preserved many hours; all the
longer if a piece of flannel from four to
five inches square be used as a loose
cover to the ice-cup. Cheap flannel,
with comparatively open meshes, is pre-
ferable, as the water easily drains
through it, and the ice is thus kept quite
dly. When good flannel with close tex
ture is employed, small hole must be
made in the bottom of the flannel cup ;
otherwise it holds the water and facil-
itates the melting of the ice, which is,
nevertheless, preserved much longer
than in the naked cup or tumbler. A
reserve supply outside the bedroom
door can be secured by making a fan-
mel cup, on the plan above described, in
a Jug, and filling it with little Jumps OF
ice; care being taken that there is space
enough below the bag to allow the water
to collect and leave the ice dry. This
provision will allow ice to be used dur
ING the hottest night without the supply
falling or the patient being disturbed
two very important considerations.

A Train in Collision with Elephants.

On the railway from Madras to
ShoranOre, as a train was running at
fair speed, the engineer saw herd OF
elephants approaching him along the
line. He whistled down the brake. In
an instant, however, they were into the
herd. The leading elephant, an enor-
nous tusker, was apparently only en-
ragged by the whistle, and charged the
advancing train. There was tre-
mendous conclusion. The elephant
was knocked off to one side, mutilated
and writhing, and the train, after
series of violent jolts that nearly threw
it off the line, came to a stand-stlll
against the bodies of two other animals
Of the herd. The tusker was dispatch
ed by an English gentleman VINO was
travelling in the train, and his tusks were
secured, after which the train proceed
ed on its journey. The herd scamperedd
away, and turned when about mile on
on a knoll, looking in dazed, stupid
way at the train as it moved of.-Lo1'-

PERILS OF GOLD-HUNTING.
Sitting-BulPs Command Raiding the
Whining Camps i'm the Black Hills-A
Number of Miners Killed and Wound
ed by the S@eaki=g Red Devils.
From the Sioux City Journal. ]

From the Sioux City Journal.I
Parties who arrived in the city yester-
day direct from the Black Hills corrob-
crate the telegraphic report in yester-
days journal concerning the late raids
made by the Indians on the mining
camps in the Black Hills and the killing
of quite number of white men. Among
the men who arrived here were Charley
Hall, teamster for w. Stinson, Henry
O'Harrow and Mr.. Tuller, formerly in
the express business. They report the
miners in considerable numbers leaving
the Hills on account of the late Indian
demonstrations and the fear that, from
this time forward, until winter sets in,
the reds will make it exceedingly un-
pleasant in and around the diggings.
These men say that only a few days
before they left a report obtained in
the Hills that 800 Indians from Sitting
Bulls command had arrived. This re-
port coincided with word previously
sent the miners from Gen. Crook, to
the effect that Indians were on their
way down towards the gold diggings,
and so the miners believed the report
concerning the arrival of the hostiles.
Within few miles of Crook City several
men were murdered by the Indians on
the 18th of August. On the goth of Au-
gust hunter was killed on the road
between Deadwood and Centennial,
after having seriously wounded the In
dian who shot him. On the same day
a herd containing 230 horses from Mon
tana was run off from Centennial City,
and the parry that organized and fol-
lowed up the stolen animals reported
that there was an Indian on nearly ev-
cry horse. The whites got so close to
the retreating reds that a brush ensued
between the forces.
Two men were killed on the Goth on
False Bottom, only six miles from Dead
wood, one of whom is Charles Holland,
formerly proprietor of the Christiana
House in this city, and who returned to
the Hills about two months since for the
second time, having been delegated to
come out after supplies. The other was
Isaac Brown, and was formerly bar
tender in Yankton. On the nightof the
21st ult., these returned miners report
that four men left Deadwood for Rapid
City, and on the way were attacked by
Indians when within six miles of the
latter place, and two of their number
killed and third wounded. A party
which west out the following morning
after the murdered men found two dead
bodies on Rapid Gulch, which could not
be recognized.
1t is asserted that on account of these
depredations by the Indians both Upper
and Lower Rapid have been abandoned
by the miners.
These returned Black Killers came
down from Fort Pierre on the steamer
Western. There were between thirty
and forty of them, and they claim tC
have brought out with them gold dus
to the value of $4,000. Most of these
miners say they intend to return to the
Hills again soon.

How 1t is Done.

This is how those big fish stories orig
mate: A couple of amateurs go to the
Adirondacks, or some other Out-of-the-
way fishing ground, hire a guide and
proceed to WOO the filmy denizen of the
stream from his translucent lair by the
convolutions of the insidiOus angle
worm. Finally, after much prOcrasti-
nation, such as is the lot of the follow
er of Izaak Walton, piscator No.
yanks out of the temperance beverage
a sickIy bass about ten inches long
Gloating over the dying throes OF his
CAPTIVE, he turns with an air of triumph
to the guide and asks, Chow much
does that fish weigh?" The stalwart
son of the forest knows what is expect
ed of him, 'hefts' the fish, measures it
with the eye of critic, and replies, at
ter a careful deliberation, "Well, that
fish ought to weight pretty close on
four pounds" The gratitied fisherman
pulls out his notebook and jOts 1t down,
draws his pocket-pistol and takes a sur
vey of the distant horizon as through a
glass darkly. Then No. 2 has his turn,
and pulls up hungry sunfsh, which is
duly appraised at two pounds and a
half. And so it goes, until the anglers
return to the city and set their stay-at-
home friends wild with excitement over
their "splendid " catch averaging hun
dred pounds day. ."-BOSt0a Traveller

THE worst thing we have seen about
Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the only
stain on an otherwise irreproachable
character, is that he is the inventor OF
that parlor aggravation known as the
hand stereoscope; vexatious contriv-
ance for which the pictures are always
too large to be crammed into the springs
or too small to stay in them, Of which
the slide is always showed off the end of
the stick in the vain efforts OF the OBJ
server to find focus, and of which the
glasses always make you seethe picture
so double that it gives you the headache
and finally compels you to peep over
the top in order to gain the information
necessary to make some intelligent re-
mark about the tumble you have been
staring at.-HGUb-eye.

JOHN STUART MILL once unfOlded to
Louis Blanc his plan of suffrage by de-
grees, according to which every man
would have one vote, more learned
man two votes, professor three votes,
a statesman four, and so on. M. Blanc
replied that the educated man who goes
into meeting and influences the per-
sons present to vote in a certain man
ner may control as many as 500 or 1000
votes. There is divine compensation
for the legal equality of knowledge with
ignorance. Mills plan, besides being
founded on injustice, is impracticable
from the want of any overruling power
to determine exactly how learned can
didate for power may be.

An Aged Bridal Pair.

On Thursday evening an unusually
interesting marriage ceremony took
place at the residence of Mr.. Daniel i.
Sawyer, in Haverhill, Mass, the Rev.
A. A. Williams officiating. The bride
groom was Eben H. Little, Esq, 81
years old, a native of Hampstead, n.
H., a successful Boston merchant. The
bride was Miss Jerusha Palmer, "a
years old, a wealthy maiden lady,
formerly residing on Beacon Street.
Boston, but late of Somerville. The
groomsman was Master Anson Aver,
IA years old, and the bridesmaid Nellie
NJ. Sawyer, a miss of 13. The wedding
party consisted of about thirty persons,
relatives and friends, including ages
from the infant of Is months, with Its
suggestive prattle, to those OF three
score years. The parties to the union
are hale and hearty, with no abatement
of natural fervOr save that which at
tends advancing years. Mr.. Little mas
been married once before, and several
wears ago passed the period of his gold
en- wedding. To the bride the relations
were new. The early hours of the
honeymoon are to-day being spent IN
an excursion down the river in the
Queen of the Merrimac, the party be-
inc ioined by the Odd Fellows and
Daughters of Rebekah, to whom they
will present practical illustration of
how the odd are sometimes made even.
The romance of the affair is that Mr..
Little, "longing for kindred spirit, "
and yearning for a heart thst could
commune with his own, made propos-
ais to Miss Palmer several months ago,
which were then not looked upon with
favor. Within the past ten days, how
ever, an answer was received, revers-
ing the former decision and asserting
to the proposed union. The maiden
became his affianced, and the necessary
preparations for the nuptial ceremo-
nies were FASTENED, SO that the event
took place last evening. The Venera-
BILE pair are to make their abode IN TINS
