and success is certain, and it need not be what
the world call> a great purpose. Many
humble life that is not known a dozen miles
from home is perfect success. When the life
is all swallowed up i'll some purpose, some un-
selfish design, it seems driven by some form too
strong to be resisted, power that leaves no
thought or desire of resisting it on to the grand
work.
There are lives that no one thinks of calling
great, and that by an ordinary standard are the
very 1arthest from successful, yet these are great
| successes. Some patient member of a family,
perhaps, who has let pass by opportunities for
wealth, or even comfortable independence or
| education, or all that are supposed to make the
| happinesses and successes of life, because a
quiet duty was to be done, old father or
| mother TO be cared for, loved, or for many rea-
| sons that come into lives. But the Illustration
of what is success can be best found in the
| lives of some whose deeds are familiar to us
all, because we can understand the illustration
when alike know the facts.
| Take life. There was man with no
unusual knowledge, with no wealth, indeed so
poor that when boy he used to sing at peo-
pies door for bread, and for all his life without
| even the desire to be rich, with no power or
place, none of the tools that are generally sup
| posed necessary to succeed. He barely owned
a home, he never dreamed of anything but to
do his daily duty, and yet the world feels to-
| day the vigorous strength of the successful life
| of Martin Luther. Luther, the great reformer,
who never thought of greatness-he only
thought to serve in his Fathers house, but hav-
ing become servant of all he became great. So
in every age and in many countries there rise
up men and women whose insight into
the wants of their race and whose bold earnest
ness do good for others, changes the conditions
| of thousands and hundreds of thousands. They
doa work theirs is the true success.
The success of the universe is made up of the
successes of individuals and ii is, therefore, the
more the duty of each individual to contribute
his share to the general welfare and the grand
ultimate success

IMPORTANT TO SUBSCRIBERS

In July next it will be fifteen years
since became sole owner of the Standard
Office. l have had very good list Of
subscribers all the time, yet have lost
many hundreds of dollars on subscrp-
ton. propose to stop this loss.
From this time forward, l will send the
Standard for one dollar per year, in ad-
vance, and stop the paper when the time
shall expire. This is the rule. OF course
there may be very few exceptions, but
in all cases where the time runs over,
subscribers will be charged at the rate of
$3.50 per year, or 123 cents per month
Now there are hundreds who owe
| from 25 cents up to five or six dollars.
Many of these will desire to avail them
selves of the reduced price, who do not
feel able to pay up the back debt l can
help you out of this difficulty. The label
on your paper will show the date to
which you have paid. For instance, if
you find 1jan7S on your label, you will
know that you owe for four months, or
so cents. Now if you owe less than one
dollar, send. the amount, and one dollar
for the next year, or so cents for six
months, or % cents for three months, as
you may feel able. If you owe more
than one dollar, send me your note for
the amount, payable one year after date
without interest. and send the money in
advance for what time you may desire
or feel able to pay. Is not this fair and
reasonable?

Iay Gould in Colorado Politics.


The purchase Of the Denver Neaoa by
Hon.W. A. H. Loveland and its subse-
quent conversion into Democratic organ.
somewhat changes the political and news
paper situation OF. the State. It puts the
Republican and Democratic parties on more
nearly even terms in the matter Of newspa-
per strength than they have ever been be-
fore. It also unquestionabiy introduces the
railroad power and influence, and more es-
peeially the power and influence Of the
great railroad king Jay Gould, as an ele-
ment in Colorado politics. The alliance
thus evidently consumated is natural one.
The Democratic party has always been a
party of monopolies, Of selfish interest, of
special privileges, and of oppression. The
Tribune, adhering to its old and positive
Republican faith, expects to successfully
combat the Democracy with this new and
30 congenial accession Of strength. 1t ex-
poets to improve and observation-disclosures
ly if rot otherwise---and fully occupy the
enlarged dsld that is now lsft to il, and to
meet all the legitimate and reasonable de-
mands alike Of its party and The people gen.

Bogardrs Taking in the Englishmsn.

Advices from London state that since
the victory of the American champion
pigeon shooter, Bogardus, over Chalnon-
deiy Pennel, the American has been one
Of the lions of the metropolis. sBogardus
won by only two birds, scoring 20 to PEN
nel's 6s, but he eould have done much bet
ter. Several times during the contest, he
let birds fly to n distance Of forty and fifty
yards before he brought them down. His
object was to win the match By q small
score, in order that he would not frighten
off other challengers. Soon after the con-
test he was challenged By the champion OF
the Shepherd Bash-gun Club, Aubrey Co
yentry. and match made for $500, TO
shoot at so birds each, SO yards rise. The
match is to take place at Brighton On the
9Th prox. Coventry is gentleman OF high
standing and con siderable wealth, and
takes great pride in trap-shooting. His
admirers. who are principally members Of
she numerous clubs, Judging by the Ameri-,
cans score with Pennel, are confident that
their protsgs win win, and have offered TO
increase the stakes TO $500 guineas. A
number of American gentlemen, among
whom were James Gordoa Bennett and
Evan Stevenson, held meeting at the Of
flee Of Besg's LIFE when the above wager
cas- accepted and the amount increased TO
1850 euineas side. Thisis the largest
stake ever shot for.

FRENCH FASHIONS.

MAGNIFICENT TOILETS WORN AT PARTsIAN
BALLs-PoPuLARITY OF ORIENTAL IT'S
SUES.
Correspondence New York Times.
The richest toilets seen in Paris this
season were worn at balls given respective
ly by the English Ambassador and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. At the Eng
lish Ambassadors the Princess of Wales
wore a charming toilet Of red and
black India gauze, with the finest golden
embroidery. The Duchess De M wore
a mauve gauze, shot with silver. The
Duchess D was attired in white satin,
with trains of pink roses marking off the
apron, forming the bretelles, and hanging
in long sprays down the train. Among
the most admired toilets was corn-col-
ored tulle trimmed with blades of silver
and blue-bells with diamond centres; 0
cherry -colored tulle, with a profusion OF
diamonds on the shoulders, in front of the
waist, and in diadems and toilet Of
blue satin, with court mantle Of the
finest point d. d'Alencon. At the Minister'S
bali the dresses were mostly made OF rich
and heavy materials, such as satin en-
broldered with flowers. The Exposition
has brought into use Oriental gauzes,
which are made into searfs. The Princess
of Wales owns the most elegant collection
of these Oriental tissues. They are very
elegant, light in appearance and very
strong. Scarfs and full-puffed tuniQues
are especially pretty when made of this
tissue, bat whole skirts must not be made
of Indian ganze, Rs when used for this pur-
pose it soon acquires an old and faded
look. Crepe de chine sca,fs are much
worn in lighter shade thar the skirt, and
are trimmed with marabout fringe.
Bunches and sprays of aagers are used to
drape the scarfs. A young English lady
wore in Parisian ballroom q crepe do
chine brocaded unique, draped under
punches of currants made Of white pearl
beads, with silver leaves. The pink faille
skirt was much darker, and trimmed with
narrow-fringed founces, forming q full
pink trimming. Another fashion, which
is not SO popular, is to wear very light blue
scarfs over navy-blue skirts.
