How TO Succeed.

Hon. H. G.. Eastman, of POugh-
kecpsic, lately gave this terse advice to
the students OF Eastman's Business
College:
'My students, you are the architects
of your own fortunes. Rely on your OWN
strength of body and soul. Select
some speciality for your life's work, and
adhere TO PauPs precept: This thing
l do Let your star be Industry,
Self-reliance, Faith and Honesty, and
inscribe on your banner: Luck is a
fool, Pluck is a hero. Earnest effort
i'll one direction is the surest road to
wealth and high position. Don't take
too much advice. Keep at the helm,
steer your own ship, and remember
that the great art of commanding Is to
take upon yourself the largest share
OF the work. Don't practice too much
humility. Think well of yourself;
strike out !; assume your position. 1t
is the jostlings and joltings of lite that
/ bring great men to the surface. Put
potatoes in cart over 4 rough road,
and small potatoes go TO the bottom.
Turn a raft of logs down a mill-race
and the large logs come on top. Rise
above the envious and jealous. Fire
above the mark you intend to hit.
Energy, invincible determination, with
a right motive are thelevers that NOV,
the world. Don't drink Don'tchew
Don't smoke. Don't swear. Don't
deceive. Don't read novels. BE IN
earnest. BE seIfreIiant. BE generou.
. There are two sides to every balanc,
and favors thrown in on one side o
+ scales are sure to be reciprOcated IN the
other. Be civil. Bea gentleman. L
Is a foolish man who does not under
stand that molasses will catch NOR,
flies than vinegar. Read the papers
They are the educators of the people
Advertise your bosiness. Keep your
own couasels, and superintend you
own business. Make money, and dc
rood with it. Love your God ard fel
Iov-men. Love truth and virtue
Love your country and obey the laws.

\ Russian otEerr who was with Gen
eral Gourilo IA his raid south of the
Balkans, gave a correspondent of the
New York Times an account of the re-
venge taken ley a!qe Turks on the Bull
garians after Gourko's retreat which is
not surpassed for horrors by anything

on 31st of July; on the day when the

third Of its effective force, was driven
out of E>ki-Saghra, and the population
left to the mercy Of the enemy. The
fight had been holly contested, and
while it was going on a few Of the in

But the Osnlanil soon closed the Issues

Many causes tend to produce this painful
and distressing state. The blood is retarded
in its return; the too frequent use of gastric
purgatives tends to produce congestion of
the bowels, torpid action of the liver, and
numerous other causes are the source OF this

morselessly in this city. 1t had been
fashionable for members of Con-
gress and city magnatcs to quarter
their friends upon the Custom
House in New York, till it was over
run with holders ofsinecures. There
are thousands Of men on the pay
roll of that snug harbor for strikers
and broken-aown politicians from
all parts of the State, who never
show themselves in the building ex-
cept on monthly pay-days. Secre-
tary Sherman's explicit orders to
cut down the employees to the strict
requirements of the business strikes
terror to the hearts of the sinecur-
lists, especially as they know il will
be done. And the thousands who
expected to be placed, but who see
that under this administration there
is no chance for it, are also indig-
nant. Whenever you hear q gen.
tleman, with a nose at all red, and
not addicted to labor, express an
opinion that tho Presidents South
ern policy will prove failure, as
certain whether he has not recently
been dismissed from a Custom
Hsuse, or was not recently an ap-
plicant for a position.
Business is not SO good as l had
expected, but the merchants still
hope for a fair Spring trade. The
settlement of the Southern troubles
and the prospect of a good, stable
government, they argue must bring
about a revival of business. / dS
not mean to say that trade is abso'
lutely bad, only it is not what wa.
hoped it would be by this time
There must be a revival very soon
The stocks carried by the merchants
in the interior are very light, ans
they must have goods.

Special Correspondence.
South Carolina and Louisidnd-Dcm-
Ocrdtic Economy.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Apr. 10, VI.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Apr. lo, W.
South Carolina matters have been
SO exhaustively canvasscd that every
one was supposed to have had their
fill. 1t was also thought that any.
thing additional from either of the
contestants would fall upon a sati-
ated public without eliciting any
marked attention; but the last letter
of Governor Chambcrlin, addressed
more particularly to his immediate
followers, and comprchensivcly re-
viewing in the most pointed and
forcible way, the political history of
that State for the past few years,
has re-awakened tho tagging inter-
est of the public and profoundly
stirred the political circles of the
National Capitol. Its pathos seems
to have struck responsive cord in
the great popular heart that will
sooner or later manifest itself in an
unmistakable manner. No effort
can wholly conceal the disappoint-
ment and discouragement that fol-
lowed the unpromising report from
the Commission now endeavoring to
effect an adjustment of Louisiana
affairs. 1t appears from what is
known of the incomprcmising atti-
tude of the Nicolls party in that
State that no plan short of absolute
surrender will be willingly enter
taincd; and the anxiety over the
uation increases every hour. 1t
does not seem probable that any
agreement will be reached by the
consent of the two parties; and ulti-
matcly the national authority will
probably have to take the rcspons-
ibility of deciding between the con-
testants. From statements made
before the Commission it seems that
instead of Packard's government
being confined to the State House
in which he is penned up, his au-
thority is unquestioned in a large
number of parishes, outside of New
Orleans and few Of the other lar
ger towns. Indeed it would not be
surprising to learn that in by far
the largest portion of the State, his
is the only government recognized
| 1t appears that the Democratic
House insisted upon reduction Of
$2,000,00O from the estimates of the
Navy Department, and as result
Secretary Thompson finds himself
almost without funds whercwith tC
pay the Navy, three months before
the expiration of the fiscal year
and as there is strict law agains
anticipating the passage of appro'
priation bills, much suffering will
be unavoidable among officers ant
men of the Navy. 1t should no
be forgotten that this reduction wa.
apiece of the shcercst demagoguery
obviously made for it's result on tn,
pending Presidential election.
REP.
