couldn't afford it, they might use fence

Johnson seems to banker after our poker.

The WAY VANDERBILT SUCCEEDED
When Commodore Vanderbilt was running
steamboats,, he beat all rival by crowding
on steam to the utmost, and even running
! down his enemy if necessary, to accomplish
a triumph. When he went into railroading,
he adopted much shrewder and more sue
cesstul way, by uniting vast lines and their
tributaries under his own management,
thus capturing all rivals, by sharing with
them the immense pool Of profits that were
made by his skillful manipulation. Messrs
Lawrance & Co., Bankers, N. Y, accom-
plsh much greater success in stock oper-
atoms by their new Combination
Method OF dealing. By this system the
orders Of thousands of customers are
pooled into one vast sum and co-operated
under the most experienced management,
thus, giving to each shareholder all the
benefits Of large capital and best skill.
Profits divided monthly. Any amount from
s. to $4,000 can be used with great sue
cess. sl5 will make $40 profit. $50
would return S720 or per cent. on the
stock during the month, according to the
market. The new circular (mailed free)
has "two unerring rules for success" and
full explanations, so that any one can oper-
ate profitably. Stocks and bonds wanted.
Government bonds supplied. Apply to

every way would advance the cause of
Christianity to an unlimited extent.
In general sense, the effort to remove the
overplus population is one than which there
Is nothing more needed with reference to
the men and women to be moved or the
cities to be relieved. The Irish more than
any other foreign nationality flock to the
cities. The majority of them are unskilIed
iaborers; aud the result is an arduous strug-
gie Tor mere existence. Lack of employ
ment begets idleness and destitution, and
these are often but hating places on the
highway leading to crime. There is
much larger proportion of criminals among
this class than there would be were it placed
In more favorable localities, and surrounded
by less hostile circumstances. Perhaps ten
Germans go to farming where one Irishman
takes up the same pursuit; and the result is
that the average condition of the for
mer is largely in advance of the latter. The
distressing condition of 80 large an ele-
ment of our population would be remedied
at once were it transferred from the un-
healthful air and influences of city life to
the breezy and healthful country.
In view of these facts, intelligent people
will wish this Irish colonization scheme
most abundant success. Not only this, but
they will wish that others may be started
and be operated until million Irishmen.

women took to suffrage like ducks to water in
some parts of New Hampshire at the recent
schools elections, and in several cases they were
not slow in oomprehending and adopting the
tactics which men sometimes resort to to secure
their ends.
1t is said there is large rock on the west
ern base of Rich's mountain, in West Bath,
Me-, completely covered with strange charac-
ters and hieroglyphios, supposed to be made by
the Indians. Rude figures of men and animals
can be traced, accompanied by irregular char
acters not so legible.
Water transportation is remarkably cheaper
than the rail. Instances of thin are the i'm
mense tows taken out of Pittsburgh by single
steamer; one recently took 1000 tons. It went
to Louisville, 600 miles, and the cost was per-
haps So, 5OO For this distance on rail the Or
dinary coal rates would be $35,O0O.
