The only regular appropriation bill which
The last Congress failed TO pass was the bill
Tor the support OF the regular army. The
advocates of a numerical reduction of the
army ard tie cutting down OF the pay of
officers were res ponsible for the defeat of the

by the army in consequence. When Con-

Commodore NanderbiIt's Secret.

The great success Of the late commo.
dore Vanderbilt in steamboating and
railroading, whereby he amasscd a larger
fortune thar any other private person
during a lifetime, has naturally awakened
a strong desire to learn the secret of his
uniform and most surprising achieve
ments. The commodore himself, when
questioned upon the subject during the
latter years OF his life, gave various ex-
plantations of it. To one Young man,
who was about entering upon the career
OF a Wall street broker, and who sought
his counsel, he said: ''Sonny, don't never
sell what you hayen'tg got" which was an
excellent piece of advice for a stock
broklng adventurer, Notwithstanding its
defective grammar. To another he said;
"Sam, don't never put it into any mans
power to ruin you" And this might be
put into letters of gold over the desk of
every one who takes financial risks.
whether in Wall street or elsewhere, and
it would be an excellent maxim also for
a politician. To another aspirant for for
tune, who had asked his advice, he said
Don't never buy what you can't paw
r"'
These were three admirable maxims
for business, and he probably acted
through his long and successful career in
strict conformity with them. He never
nor made any rash ventures.
But his tavorite maxim, the one upon
which he set the highest value and most
seriously inculcated upon those who
were on the most intimate terms with
him, was Il condensation of one among
wisest proverbs of Solomon: "In all
labor there's profit, but the talk of the
lips tendeth to penury." The commo
lore probably had never read this golden
proverb, and he can hardly be said to
ave paraphrased it in putting it into
his homely advice: keep your mouth
This was what he said to his
'oung grandson, upon whom he based
us hopes o founding a dynasty, only a
ew DAYS before his own was closed for
'ver. lie had been giving the young
nan some words of serious advice. and
le ended by saying, "But above all,
.eep your mouth shut" He used to
ay that he owed most OF what was called
is good fortune to the practice of kper-
ng to himself what ne meant to do until ,
e had done it. And this has been The
