80 IIsua GEslus.-Downright hard
work is essential to success in any
thing that is worth doing in the
world. No native ability relieves a
man from the necessity of an earnest
and persistent application to what
ever he undertakes, fine would be eff
fcient in his endeavors. This is as
true for mcn of brilliant genius as
for those of moderate capabilities.
Indeed, it is commonly recognized
by them more readily than by info
rior minds. "The fact u.s." says
Ruskin, "that a man Of genius is al
ways far more ready to work than
other people, and gets so much more
good by the work that he does, and
is often so little conscious of the in.
herent divinity in himself that he is
vety apt to ascribe ell his capacity
to his work, and to tell those who
ask how he came to be what he is:
"lf | am anything, which I much
doubt, made myself so merely by
labor" So if q man thinks he has
genius in one direction or another
he will best prove it by working hard
and persist.ntly at anything he un-
dertakes in that direction. His ge.
MUS will prompt him to labor, not to
relieve him from labor.

refer to the effects of the epidemic.
The crops will probably exceed the
average production and a large in

fdently expected. The full benefits
of Capt. Eads achievement and the
completion Of the Texas railway will
also be felt. So far as politics are

Napoleon, who grated me a private
audience. He recevd me very
kindly; welcomed me y France, and
expressed the hope Aat, should I
determine to leave theUnited States
permanently, 1 woula take up my
residence in the land of my ances}
tors. He asked me many questions
relative to the strategy and tactics
of our principle battles, with which
he appeared to very familiar, and he
seemed to be very anxious to ascer-
certain correctly the state of public
opinion in the United States relative
to the struggle then golrg on in Mex
leo for the dethronensnt of Maxi
milan. He CONFIRMED the views ex-
pressed to me by that naval officer
at Charleston, relative to the course
that we should have adopted to in
sure success; but With nations, as
with individuals, the passions, when
excited, overcloud the Judgment
"Those whom the gods would des-
troy they first make mad."
Before concluding this letter, al
low me to recall a little incident
which occurred at Centrevine, Va,
during the visit of Prince Napoleon
at Manassas.
Gen. Longstreet's brigade, ore of
the best then in the Army of .he
Potomac, was stationed at the former
town, and happened to be drilling
near the Fairfax turnpike as the
Prince and party were passing, Maj.
+. G. Skinner, one of the field officers
of the First Virginia Regiment, who
had been educated in France under
the auspices of Gen. Lafayette, a
great friend of his father, came to
the carriage of the Prince to pay his
respects to him and his suite. Maj.
Skinner vas also we'll acquainted
with Count MERCER, who introduced
him to the party. Just at that mo-
ment his regiment had arrived close
to the road in performing some ma
neyre and presented its back to the
carriages. 1t was one Of the oldest
regiments in the service, and its
clothes were rather the worse for
wear, especially about a certain part
Of the body. Maj. Skinner, rather
disconnected at first by the appear.
ance of his gallant soldiers, soon raj
led from his unpleasant emotion,
and, with French wit remarked to
The Prince and party;
"Messieurs, yous voyez la la partie
lie nos soldats que rennemi ma pas
encore vue ct j'espere ne vera jam
which, Of course, created a gen.
,ral laugh. Major Skinner is now, l
believe, oae of your citizens; he is or
vas not long since connected with
he Turf, Field and Farm, published
New York. He writes as well as
he fought, and although mutilated
n body he still retains the full vigor
If his intellect.

A visit to the Life Saving Station


A visit to the Life Saving Station
which has been lately erected ON the
harbor assures US that for its beauty
/ in architecture and completeness in its
arrangement and appointments it is
we'll worthy of especial notice. It is
located ON Washington Island. on the
north bank of the creek, a LITTLE ives!
of the entrance to the harbor, and
northwest from the lighthouse. The
building itself is neat. substantial
little story and half structure. of a
gothic cottage style, handsomely trim
med and ornamented on the outside
The lower story on the inside is com
posed OF an entrance or reception room
and Office, and large room to be used
as storehouse for the paraphernalia
belonging TO the Station. The last
mentioned room is fitted up and fur
nished with every apparatus and con
venience which appertains to an insti-
tuition Of the kind. There are closets
for everything, a stand for the mortar
which is supposed to throw IL rope a
long distance over a VESSEL there; are
frames upon which to coil ropes, hooks
upon which to dry clothing and hang
oars, q shelf for the medicine chest,
and many other appointments too nu-
merOus to mention.
In the second story there are the
keepers room, a large room to be, used
as q general sitting-room, and other
rooms for sleeping apartments and hos
pital wards, and each to be furnished
with the conveniences suited to it's Pc
culiar purposes. The woodwork on
the inside is finished in black walnut
and oak: the mason work done by Mr..
john Pridis, is especially noticeable us
being done in the most approved style.
The door and other trimmings, fur
nished direct by the Government, are
of the latest patterns and give to the
whole affair q finished appearance.
The contract for building the Station
was awarded to q Milwaukee firm, but
the whole work has been carried On
under the direct supervision of Wal
lace Mygatt, Esq, Of this city, who has
taken great interest in the affair, as
he does in every public improvement.
Leading down from the front of the
Station is a pier or platform, at the
front of which is anchored the lifeboat,
which is built after the style Of those
SO famous on the English and Scotch
coasts, and though graceful craft has.
the appearance of being able to wealth
er any storm or breast any sea. The
Station is soon to be manned by an ak
perienced crew. In short the whole
institution is elegant, substantial and
complete in the style of its architecture
and the appointments and conveniences
with which it is furnished, and does
great credit to those who have assisted
in its erection, and it will undoubtedly
be of great service on this stormy,
treacherous coast, as it will certainly
be great accession and ornament to
our city.

A short time ago a human skeleton
was found, I. short distance from the
lake shore in Jacksonport, Door coun-
ty in this State, in the field of one 2.
G. Hubbard, and it is supposed that at
least twenty years have elapsed since
flesh covered the now dry bones. There
are indications that this skeleton may
be all that remains of Fl. B. Bertholf,
formerly of this place, and who was
the father of Mrs. F. Robinson of this
city.
In August, 1857, Mr. Bertholf went
to Door county to locate some lands.
He left Sturgeon Bay August oath,
1857 to go to Bailey's Harbor on the
Lake Shore, since which time he has
not been seen or heard from by his
friends. When he left Sturgeon Bay,
he was known to have considerable
money on his person, and fears were
then and have since been entertained
by his friends, that he had been foullv
dealt with Since then the shores and
woods in Door county have been
SEARCHED again and again without sue
cess. at one time the city Of Kenoshr
offered reward Of 5000 for the recov-
cry of the body and the apprehension
of the murdere rs, should he have met
with foul play. Mr.. F. Robinson has
recently stated that he had always be-
lievpd that he would live long enough
to see the affair brought to light, and
the guilty parties punished. And he
is now investigating the matter of the
skeleton referred to, and may thereby
accomplish the result he has SO long
hoped for.
