appliances for grinding corn and other re-
lies. were foani in several of the houses.
There is . tradition among the Indians OF
that re zion that long years ago the tribe
that inhabited this village brought about
their aunihilalion by theirovn preposter-
Gus opibions.
They were quite prosperous people.
and refused to associate with the Sioux.

trace their origin to the serpentine world.
aud tod how their ancestors ~ truth could
tell of the very time when the hrs. member
Of their race had absolutely sprung into
being from nothing.
The other Indians did not take this idea.
On account of,his preposterous piece OF
ignorance. this peculiar race would have
nothing to do with the other tribes. They
also looked upon their belief in regard to

SUCCESS IN LIFE.

Perhaps the first and great requisite to per.
hct success in life is to be fully persuaded in
your mind what IL the object You wish to oh.
lain. Many make their first false step by wa
sering, uncertain beginning. Not quito sure
what their true aim is, they waste precious time
and acquire habits that will unfit them for any
patient. continuous or c~crgetic labor.
Success must depend, in great degree, upon
the determination TO concentrate ones self upon
some one object.
The object OF ones ambition, then, fully and
anchangcably decided tho plain path Of hard
working perseye4....s>, unctuality, and honesty
should be pursued. Tnerc is no royal road TO
success; Tor though, as David Copperfield has
told us, some happy talent and some fortunate
opportunity may form the two sides of the lad
der on which men mount, the rods Of the Ladder
must be made Of stuz to stand wear and tear.
For the first round there ia perhaps no better
substitute than perseverance perseverance that
viii lead one to work, 10 so over and over the
SINE dull routine Of what is often merely rae
chanical and uninteresting labor. 1t 10 doubly
needed at the commencement OF business, fof
here concentrate all the great obstacles that i'm.
pede the way, so that II often seems that the
first third is the only really difficult portion Of
the road to success.
Punctualiiy, though seemingly ranking among
the lesser virtues, its absence vii occasion az
great evils as many a grayer fault, and it cannot
be dispensed with in anyof the departments Of
life. The professional man is ruined without il,
and In business man It's absence cannot be toll
Grated.
Honesty Is, II from selfish motives only, the
bcst policy. Honesty that will lift a man not
only above dishonest act, bnt mean act, OF
unworthy motive; honesty that win extend into
all his dealings, that viii allow no shufiing or
shirkipgo OF duty, no appearance Of wealth NOT
actually possessed, no extravagance Of living foi
himself or family that may not strictly ani
knowingly be allowed, without detriment "a
himsslf, or his business, or without injury &c
others.

Peter b. Sweeny has indicated his roputa-
ton as the most astute of all the members OF
the old Tainmany Ring. When the cataS-
trophe came in 1871 he showed 10 trepldation
like Connolly and braved no risks like tweed.
He knew very well that the truth must come
out. but he SEEMS to have preserved too much
confidence in himself to be unduly alarmed
about it, while he knew too well the char
actcr of the lesser members of the conspiracy
and Judged too shrewdy their probable course
of action to imagine that he could stay at home
and fight. lie went abroad quietly, and ilyed
like gentleman in Paris while he nego-
tiated with the prosecution for settle
ment OF his affairs; ard as he watched from
his cay and comfortable exile The tlbu'a-
lions Of Tweed, the trials and adventures,
70 be followed at last by the flight Of
Oakley Hall, the ruin and disgrace OF so
many of hIs other old associates, he must
have congratulated himself upon the saSacity
which led him out OF such company III good
season. And now he comes back, not IKE the
other returned adventurers, Suppllant LOT
mercy. but with his head high in alr and
q Guasi-ccrtiGcate Of good character from the
court. The Onus of the percentage supposed
to have been traced TO him Is placed upon his
dead brother; it is the estate of James Sweeny
which paws the claim of the city, and the
Judge in rarifying the settlement declares that
the terms "inyolye no compromise on the
"part of the defendant and no rejection upon
ohm" Technically therefore Peter b. Sweeny
secures species Of rehabilitation, and IN max
ing peace gets all the hOnOrs of war
Undoubtedly this issue of the case VIII he
severely criticised. But we do not know upon
what reasons the course of the prosecution
was founded; we cannot Judge of the evidence
in their possession, or the chances Of recover
iug ANYTHING by a suit at law while Sweeny
remained abroad and kept all that he could

The representatives of the people in dealing
with the other chiefs OF the Ring has not been
so brilliant that we had right to look foT an
easy victory over this man. whose case from
the first was more doubtful than that OF any
of the others And it may be after all that
we shall have to reckon this as one OF their
most practical achievements.

revenue. The failure of their predictions Is
not necessarily an argument for return TO
higher tolls. but the steady decline of the'canai
revenues must bring about sooner or later some
change in the methods prescribed by the Con-
stitution for the payment of interest on the
canal debt and the extinguishment of the
debt itself. Small as the debt is-about ten
millions, without allowing for two millions IN
the sinking fund-the surplus revenues have
not been sufficient TO pay the interest, much
less 20 add anything 10 the sinking fund.
Every year it seems less likely that the canals
can pay their own debts and the people of
the state must decide whether they will pay
them for the privilege Of having the canal.
