in his opinion, under the circumstances that

from Montana on the subject. At this time
there was not a single member of the COM
mittee who deemed that there would be any
thing but an adverse report upon the nom
ination. Weeks passed. Nothing more was
said by Spencer about the case. Some of the
Democratic members of the committee be-
;ieved that the nomination would not even
be reported to the Senate. A day or two be-
fore the adjournment of Congress, Spencer
sent messages to members of the committee,
while the Senate was in session, saying that
he had been mistaken in what he had said
concerning Walker, and that he would move
his confirmation at the next executive ses-
sion. The Democratic members of the com

Spencer first gave his reason for his change

that they should feel compelled to report to

There IS nothing more trying to wide |
awake, ambitious boy who has obtained a |
place in large establishment, than the |
humble work he is obliged to do for SO |
many long months before he is promoted |
A lad said the first thing he did in a store
was to pick up and assort a keg of nails Of
different sizes which his employer turned
out on the floor. 1t did not seem much
like beginning "to learn store-keeping,"
but it was an important stepping stone.
He learned one lesson, if nothing more.
When Erastus Corning was a little lad, and
seeking Tor place in a store, he was asked
with 4 smile, What can you do?' can
do what | am told," said the child. lie
was engaged and proved most worthy Of
the confidence placed in him. That was
his stepping stone TO fortune. Doing as he
was told. That was one lesson the boy
learned over the disagreeable task of pick
ing up the nails. a boy from wealthy
family was received into large establish
mcnt, but found no royal road to business
Advancement He had to begin at the
bottom of the ladder Just as the poorest
boy in the store did. lie often wondered
why his employers kept him two long years
asserting shoes and handling great sides Of
leather. But when he became a salesman
all was plain, for he was able at a glance to
tell almost the exact worth of a pair Of
shoes, or the quality of side of leather
No theoretical knowledge can take the
place of practical knowledge. We must
put our own hands to the plow and 60 over
the ground time and again, before we can
make straight furrow. 1t is astonishing
what skill comes by practice. Repetition
makes the most difficult matters easy and
seems almost to add a sixth sense. The
old tellers in banks can count off with the
greatest rapidity vast piles of coin, casting
aside, as if by intuition all the light pieces.
Their fingers have learned to weigh like
the incest balance. Remember the stepp-
ing stones, boys and girls, if you would ever
make any true Advancement in life. All
this humble, hard work is as needful as the
separate bricks of building.

THE PRINTERS DEVIL.

Have you given much thought to the printer and
press
And the influence which they are known to possess
Their power is amazing for good or for evil
And besides in each office there's always a devil.
His duties I've never heard clearly defined,
At least they have never been clear to my mind;
He performs all odd chores, such as sweeping the
floor
Picks up scGt;er'd type, and attends to the door.
He brings all the typos good water to drink,
And keeps all the rollers provided with ink;
He washes the type and keeps all things in place.
But you know he's the devil, by ink on his face
The typos you II find nearly always quite civil,
Though often they'll tell you to 20 to the devil;
No use :. get riled as they mean you no harm,
And have no wish to send You where things are too
warm
But each typo has got certain work to fulfil
such as needs all his patience his time and his skill
The work you may wish (without thinking of eviD,
They'll tell you, is only tit work for the devil.
II you owe at the office, and let the thing run,
You Will find this same devil a terrible dunn
You had better pay up without losing a day,
Or you'll find to your cost there's the devil to pay

Everybody is willing to say his prayers
when he is in tight fix and sees no other
way out. The Lord is the last resort of
some people, and their religion is after the
fashion Of the sailor, who prayed and said,
40 Lord, haven't asked anything of you
for fifteen years, and if you'll get me ashore
l won't ask anything for fifteen years
more" The little shoeblack also had a
system of theology after which a great
many take pattern. He told an inquiring
missionary that he always said his prayers
at night, because he was asleep and did not
know what might happen; but never in
the morning, because any bright boy can
take care of himself in the daytime.

Greenland Courtship.

When the Danish missionaries had Sc
cured the confidence Of the Greenlanders,
marriage was made religious ceremony.
Formerly the man married the woman as
the Romans did the Sabine women, by
force. One Of the missionaries writing in
his journal, describes the present style Of
courtship as follows:
The suitor, coming to the missionary,
said {" should like to have wife"
"Whom?' asks the missionary. The
man names the woman.
" Hast thou spoken to her?'
Sometimes the man will answer, Yes !;
she is not unwilling, but thou knowest
womankind."
More frequently the answer is "No."
"Why not?'
alt is dif1icult girls are prudish. Thou
must speak to her"
The missionary summons the girl and,
after a little conversation, says:
i think it time to have thee married
won't marry"
What pity! | had a suitor for thee. y
Whom?'
The missionary names the man who ha:
sought his aid.
lie IS good for nothing. won't have
him.
"But," replies the missionary, "he is ;
good provider he throws his harpoon Will
skill and he loves thee"
Though listening to his praise with evi
dent pleasure, the girl answers: " won
have him."
Well, l won't force thee. shall sool
find a wife for such q clever fellow
The missionary remains silent, as though
he understood her "no" to have endeC
the matter.
At last, with a sigh, she whispers Jus
as thou wilt have it. missionary"
"No," replied the clergyman, "as tho
wilt; I'll not persuade thee"
Then, with a deep groan, comes eyes,
and the matter is settled.

EUROPEAN EMIGRATION TO SOUTH AMERICA.
Some of the New York commercial
papers speak with species of alarm of the
immigration of Europeans to the South
American States, and particularly to Brazil
and Buenos Ayres, as if it were a new
thing and threatened to become formidable
to US by diverting tides of immigration
which have previously flowed to our shores.
This is a mistake. There has been quite
q large emigration to Buenos Ayres from
Europe for many years, but this has been
almost entirely from the Mediterranean
ports, from Marseilles, Genoa, Leghorn,
Naples and the ports of Sicily, and in
cludes a class of immigrants who have
never landed in this country in large mum.

SILVER OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Chatfee, of
Colorado, has introduced in the United
States Senate joint resolution, the object
of which is to compel the circulation of the
silver dollar. 1t directs the Secretary of
the Treasury to cancel all the one dollar
and two dollar United States notes now in
the Treasury, as well as all that may be re-
ceived after the passage of the resolution,
and to replace the amounts so cancelled by
United State notes Of denomination of not
less than five dollars. The amount of
United States one dollar and two dollar
notes now in circulation is about $4,000.
900 or S20,OO0,000 of each denomination.
The amount of standard silver dollars
already coined is about $23, 100000, ofwhich
there are about $S,0000OO in circulation,
leaving about $l5,000,000 in the Treasury.
The resolution does not propose to contract
the circulation of greenback currency, as
it changes the one dollar and two dollar
note, into the same amount in larger notes,
but simply provides for the circulation OF
silver by Withdrawing from circulation all
United States notes of a less denomination
than five dollars.
1t is stated from Washington that the
Trade Dollar bill, which the Coinage Com
mittee have decided to push in the House
of Representatives, will be vigorously op
posed. The proposition is that trade dol
lars shall be redeemed at par in Lawful
money. Those who will oppose this scheme
do so on the ground that it will virtually
make the trade dollar a legal tender, and
keep it in circulation, unless limited time
be fixed within which redemption shall bt
made. 1t will also be argued that in thu
latter event such redemption would chief.

miners had to be housed in tents, because
there was not a house there. Now, less
