Improving Uncertainties.

The old proverb "Where there's a
will there's way" finds full illustra-
ton in the life of many eminent Amer
leans. Such men as Henry Clay, Abra-
ham Lincoln and many others have
risen from very humble station to intel
lectual greatness by resolute purpose
to surmount difficulties. One we'll &C
quainted with the early life of ex-Gov.
George 8: Boutwell,, Of Massachusetts,
Secretary of the Treasury under Gen.
Grant, gives an interesting sketch of
his early years:
Hehad little education in the schools,
being obliged to support himself from
the age of -. While clerk.at Groton
he found in the second story of the
store an old but choice library. This
was mine Of wealth to the boy. He
read during the day, when there were
no customers. But at 9, when the store
closed, he retired to the library and
read till drowsiness came. on. Then he
took little physical exercise to rouse
himself: When he felt sleepy again he
plunged his head into q pail Of water
and, under this new stimulus, was able
to study till late hour. In this way
he acquired valuable knowledge and
discipline, and prepared himself for q
successful career. Self-educated men
prize the opportunities which young
men trained in the schools often throw
away. 49, 'i'H-.- s..t '=.:s T..

YELLOW FEVER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The commission az
pointed by the President to proceed to Cuba
for the purpose of collecting information in re-
lation to yellow fever, has submitted prelim-
mary report to the national board of heal sh.
The report says the most general result is that
yellow fever prevails in every place ia Cuba
from which reports were received; provided
these places are of any size or commercial i'm
portance, and contain any considerable number
Of unacclimatcd persons, who fur
nish food for widespread poison.
In this particular the medical authorities
as we'll as intelligent residents of Cuba, have
for most the part misled the profession. Be-
fore leaving the United States most absolute
assurances were given by natives or ex-residents
of Cuba, and even in Cuba itself these assur-
ances were confidently repeated, that yellow
fever never occurred in this, that or the other
place. Diligent inquiry was made for all such
places and diligent investigation invariably
proved that these assurances were
false, and that they we're found
ed upon comparatively slight prevalence
of disease due in large measure to a small
number of unacclimated visitors or residents
in such places, detailed reports of these facts
are possessed in abundance, it is very certain
that prevalence of yellow fever is not equally
marked in all places, this varies greatly in diff
ferent places and in different years at some
places and this variation is at times indepen-
dent apparently of amount of unacclimated
material.

A Printers Error.

Printers, or rather compositors, poor
fellows! are only men, and subject to
blunder-making as all their kind are.
But they are seldom so guilty as are the
writer's whose manuscripts they put in
type, although they bear double blame
because of the oftentimes wretched calig-
raphy imposed on them. Avery curious

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator Hoar intro
duced bill in the Senate,
o.day, to establish labor
committee. It provides that the President,
with the consent of the Senate, shall appoint
a committee of five persons to inquire and re-
port as to the extent to which machinery and
labor saving processes have entered into the
production and distribution of products in
general and consumption among the people, to
the displacement of manual labor. Also,
whether any causes are in operation to bring
about the ownership and cultivation of lands
in large tracts instead of small
farms and homesteads. Also, as to the con-
dition of persons employed in agricultural,
mechanical, manufacturing and mining labor
in this country, and especially whether any
causes are at work to change for the better or
worse the condition of such persons, their
hours OF labor, the education of their children
and the proportion received by them of the
profits of the occupations in which they are
engaged. The commissioners are to hold Office
for two years, receive an annual salary of
81 900 each and be allowed expenses of travel,
have authority to employ a secretary and three
clerks, and report to Congress annually through
the secretary of the interior.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Congressman Lay, of

Alfred Morrison Lay, of Jefferson City, was

i" Cutting Out'' on Colorado Cattle
Ranch.

Only the first purpose of the round
up" hes been observed when the cattle
are collected. Next the COWS and calves
must, be @cut out" and we saw the "cow-
boys" ride into the herd, single out the
COW with calf following), and with
great skill extricate her from the
throng. The young calves are, of
course, not yet marked, but the pres
ence of one with a COW makes it impera-
tive to place the cows mark on it.
Strayed calves, on the other hand
Called "Mauvrics" from an old French
man in Texas who is said to have added
largely to his worldly store by system
attic abstraction Of these waits and
strays), are sold for the benefit of tho
associated ranchmen. "First catch
your calf" as Mrs. Glass would say.
Perhaps you may think that this is an
easy task, but you would find, If you
tried it, that you we're never more mis-
taken in your life, for the ease with
which the rancheros accomplish it has
only come with careful training aud
long practice. The little animal runs
wonderfully fast, springs, turns and
lodges almost like flash but the cow
boy never takes his eyes off of him, and
the trained horse, now we'll warmed up
and entering fully into the spirit of the
chase, responds to, almost seems to an
ticipate, every turn of his riders left
hand and wrist. Meanwhile the latter
with his right arm is swinging his
noosed rope, or 'lasso, and in another
momenthe has thrown it exactly over
the calls head. Instantly the horse
planges forward, giving "slack" to the
rope, and allowing it to be wound
around the horn of the saddle; then he
moves on, dragging the calf after him,
and the little creature is soon in the
hands of the men with the branding
irons. These have been heated in hot
fire, and are quickly applied, and in a
few minutes the calf, now indeibly des-
ignated as the property of his master,
is again running about. Il. Hayes,

The Language of Postage Stamps.

It seems that postage stamps as well
as flowers have Ian guage. Thus, &C.
cording to the Albany Times, when a
postage: stamp has been placed upside
down on the left corner of the letter,
it means, Il love you;' IN the same,
:crosswise, my heart is .another's;1
straight up and down, 8 Good-by, sweet
heart, good-by;;" upside down in the
right-hand corner, write no more; :" in
the center, at the top, EYES," oppo-
site, at the bottom, @No;" on the right
hand corner, at right angle, ,@Do you
love me?" In the left-hand corner, II
hate you" top corner, on the!right, II
wish your friendship;"s bottom corner
on the left, Il seek your acquaintance; =
on line with the surname, Accept my
loves; the same, upside down, Fl am en-
gagged gat 4 right angle in the same
place, q long TO see; you;" in the mid
die, at the ght-hand edge, write i'm
mediately. While this IS all very well
g far as It goes, those, who put q
postage stamp on any but The upper
right-hand corner Of an envelope must
hold themselves responsible for ell the
swearing Of the postof6ce clerks.
