ISDUsTRY.-If there be one thing
which can conquer the ills Of life
which will make all things pleasant. and
all difficulties easy---it is industry, the
great opponent and cOnqueror of that
rust of mind, Incidence. 1t is the phi
losopher's stone. and turns all metals.
and even stones. into gold. AS Incidence
makes all things difficult. and gives a
man pain even to walk to his door and
lOIl in bis carriage. so industry makes
all things easy. "He who rises late"
writes old Fuller. as wisely as quantity,
must trot all day. and shall scarcely
overtake his business at night LaEi-
ness. on the other hand. travels so slowly
that poverty soon overtakes her. This
law is universal. Ii may seem all very
pleasant to be able to indulge IN iSie
dreams-to fold the arms--so loll ABOUT
and do nothing; but the man who does
90, does it at his own cost and peril, and
soon sorely rues it. His body cannot
be SO healthy. bis mind must stagnate,
his soul become corrupt. Idleness is
truly the mother Of all vices. aud a
very prolific mother she is, too.

WASHINGTON, February 2S.-In the
Senate Mr.. Sharon, the new Senator
from Nevada, was sworn in.
Matt. Carpenter appeared before the
committee on Privileges and Elections
for Spencer, of Alabama. Witnesses
were summoned for Friday to which
day the case was adjourned. The de-
tense decline to accept the evidence ia
ken by the Alabama legislative COM
mittee.
The Supreme Court adjourns on the
10th proximo until which time there
will be no Grant parish decisions.
Mrs. Gaines expects decision in her
case to-day.
Senator Morton is undecided whether
to bring Pinchback's case ur.
Attorney General Pierrepont says he
will send in his reply to the House res
olution inquiring by what authority
and for what purpose the letter to dis
says the answer will not be long, but
will be satisfactory to the President
and himself at least, but not such an
answer as the House may have expect
ed. 1t is understood he will assert that
it was issued on his own authority, and
was not u violation of law, but to pre-
vent convicted persons defaming the
regulations of prominent men by rep
reservations which could not be cor
roborated.
The New York Herald publishes
letter from District Attorney Bliss eX-
planatory of Sherman's visit to st.
Louis. He says Hogue's letters were
obtained by Sherman from distillers,
and not from Dyer or any officer of the
Government, and when Sherman
brought the letters to the notice of
Babcock's counsel, he, at the same
time, took care Dyer should be allowed
any use he wanted to make of them,
provided he did not suppress them.
1t is said on good authority that Gen
eral Babcock will not resume his
former position at the White House,
but will be assigned to duty in the en-
gineer corps of the army in which he
holds the rank of major.
Reports are reiterated that a move
meEt is to be made against Blurord
Wilson. Hints are given out of seri-
GUS charges to be presented against
him In this effort to secure his remov-
al. The charges relate to his official
conduct when district attorney at
Springfield as well as more recently in
the prosecution Of whisky cases. Ex-
Supervisor Mum of the Illinois dis
trict is Particularly busy in making up
this case against Wilson. Indictments
were found against Mum both at ST.
Louis and Chicago, and he is the next
and last case at st. Louis, unless Nc
Kee and Avery get new trials. tx
Senator Matt. Carpenter will defend
him, gSi Mum asserts that he can
prove that his indictment Is the result
of a plot sustained by Bluford Wilson,
originally intended to implicate Sepa-
tor Logan and ex.Representatives Far
well and Ward of Chicago, the endeav-
or having been made to get ex-gaugers
of Chicago to swear to their connec-
ton with the ring in that city. Wilson
is we'l-advised of this plan OF opera
tions, and does not appear disturbed,
seeming rather to invite than fear
these attacks.

In times past 1t was thought immOdest to

solicit patronage for them in new spapers.
During the ast twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade, Il has be
come q necessity. The public are always
anxious to learn OF progress, but arc equally
desirous to avoid all frauds, as they have
genuine merit, and are particularly preju-
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful medine without
character or worth. Still the public are
grateful to manufacturers or inventors OF ar
ticles OF merit, even il known as medicines;
many of them are the result OF years OF care.
ful study by our most eminent chemists and
physicians, and embrace such principles and
productions as Quinine, Chlorotorm, ChlOral
Hydrate, Porous plasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth OF the article it elf even
though 1t be a medical preparation. As an
evidence of this, celebrated physician of
New York made great improvement in Por
GUS Plasters by adding CAPCNE on account
OF its giving increased effect and quicker re-
lief and cure than any known medicical

firm OF Pharmaceutical Chemists in his city

an arrangement with this physic and COM
menced advertising in the best newspapers; |;
in short time the sale increased from hun

"Dryasdust" writes to the London
papers under date June 90: GAS
Queen Victoria to day begins the
fOrtieth year of her reign, it may inter
est some of your readers to be remind
ed that she hos now attained a very
high rank on the roll of our kings for
length OF reign; having lately passed
Henry VIII. and Henry VI, she now
stands fifth in order, being still junior
or inferior only to Elizabeth and the
three long Thirds, Edward. Henry and
George. Of our early English, or
ante. Norman, kings, no other reigned
so long as Ethelred the Unready, but
his 38 years are already exceeded by
our present sovereign's 80 years.
Elizabeth's reign, from the death of
Mary, November II, 1868, to her own
death, March "a, 1903, lasted A wears
and 1876 days; so that Victoria has to
reign 8 years and 1876 days beyond to
day before she will equal her great
forerunner. Then will remain ahead
only Edward HI, so years and nearly
5 months; Henry ILL.,, SO years and 19
days; George ILL.,, 80 years and 3
months. But of course even these long
reigns look short by the side of the 72
years of Louis XIV. of France. Pro.
baby no two successive kings of any
country reigned over so long a space of
time between them as Louis XIV. and
Louis XIV, who from 1913 to 1774
made up together 131 years, or an
average of rather more than 65 years,
per reign. How long will it be before
France enjoys or suffers 131 consecu-
tive years of rule under two persons.
or even under two forms of govern
ment?"

A messenger came 10 my house on Thurs.
lay morning and told me that prize fight
vas about to take place at Pennsville;
7 hitch.d my horse and "driv' for the
place; saw lot of men there, near large
rec; notified lot of Jerseymen that they
might bs wanted, and then plac ID myself
on large stool, and looked at them for
little while; aud then says I, "gentlemen,b by
she authority vested in me by the State Of
New Jersey, as Sheriff of the county Of
salem, command you, prize fighters, to git
out of here;" they said: "Oh, N.Y." and
"pull down your vest," which didn't do;
the most of them, though, ran away; went
afterwards to the wharf and locked the
Creedmoor cutter: but they came down and
look her away; forbid them doing it, but
they didn't seem to care what said; they
struck me with piece of b logna sausage
on the nose, and fred porter bottle at my
head; saw no canteloupes or watermelons
in the air; I attem pied the arrest of one
man, but he got away from me; he was the
ii How that carried the belts and eponges;
no one was shot on my side, but one man
had bullet 60 through the leg of his
pantles; l leaped up against pork barrel,
and they riddled 1t with bullets; ] fired two
shots at them.
