Yourself.

You cannot find a more companion-
able person than yourself, If proper
attention be paid to the individual.
Yourself will 90 with you wherever
you like, and come away when you
please-approve your jokes, assent to
your propositions, and, in short be in
every way agreeable, if you only prac-
tice the true art Of being on good terms
with yourself. This, hoWeyeris not so
easy as some imagine who do not often
try the experiment. Yourself, when it
catches you in company with no other
person is apt to be severe critic on
your faults and foibles, and when you
are censured by yourself, it is general
ly the severest and most intOlerable
species Of reproof. 1t is on this ac-
count that you are afraid Of yourself,
and seek any associates, no matter how
inferior, whose bold chat may keep
yourself from playing the censor.
Yourself is likewise a jealous friend.
If neglected and sighted it becomes a
bore, and to be left, even a short time,
'by yourself" is then regarded as actu-
ally cruel penance, as many find
hCh JOukll3 uVdAlll5 VI W WEdAbu udgll uC-
parted, How important then is it to
"know thyself," to cultivate thyself, to
respect thyself, to love thyself warmly
but nationally. A sensible self is the
best Of guides, for few commit er-
rOrs but in broad disregard of its
admonitiOns. 1t tugs continually
at the skirt of men to draw them
from their cherished vices. 1t holds
up the shadowy finger in warn
ing when you 60 astray, and it sermon
ICES sharply on your sins after they have
been committed. Our nature is two
fold and its noblest part is the self to
which we refer. 1t stands on the alert
to check the excess of the animal i'm
pulses, and though it becomes weaker
in the fulfilment of its task by repeat
ed disappOintments, it is rarely so en-
feebled as to be unable to rise up oc-
casionally sheeted and pale, like Rich
ards victims, to overwhelm the offender
with bitter reproaches. Study, there
fore, to be on good terms with yourself
1T is happiness to be truly pleased
with yourself.

Shooting Czars and Kings aG Twen-
tYsOme Yards Rise

1t beats all. Another attempt on the
life of the Gar was made Tuesday, and
the simple circumstance that his royal
nibs was late to dinner is the cause OF
his being alive to-day. Some indus
trious and hard working Nihilist had
undermined the Czar's Winter Palace,
and everything being in readiness on
Tuesday last for change of admins
tration, the dynamite was touched off,
and the palace was blown to-whatever
it is in Russian. But the Czar being
late to dinner, he missed the opening
chorus, and so is spared to live his but
terfy sort of life, and 90 about singing
merrily all the day, and enjoy the hap
piness of being great and powerful
ruler.
1t beats all what poor fist those
Nihilists make of slugging a Czar.
They have tried shooting, blowing up
the Imperial railway carriages, blowing
up the palace, poison, and everything
else they could think of; but in the Ian
guage Of Daniel Webster, he still lives.
There is a gentleman here in Milwau-
kee, who has become disgusted at the
butterfngers in the Nihilist party, and
he announces that, if they will pay him
anything like reasonable wages, he will
90 over there with a Winchester rifle
and bring the Car down. He cannot
bear to see a human being suffer in this
manner, and wants to put the Gar out
of his misery.
However, as it is hardly worth while
to 90 clear to Russia for just one Gear,
and as several other kings are wanted
put out of the way, he will make liberal
terms to a club of ten, or even five. If
he goes, he wants to get enough for
mess. A man would have to tramp
over good deal of territory in that
country, if he confined himself strictly
to that noble game bird, the Gar, and
he might hunt till he was as gray as
rat without getting line shot on two
of them, but if the game law was
changed so that he could bang away at
dukes, lords and other small fry, he
could carry d0uble-barFeled gun-One
barrel for shot and the other for ball
and could drop 'em right and left. The
gentleman will furnish his own ammu
milton and dog, and Nihilists will only
be required to 90 along and carry game
and keep the bottle filed 1t is tantal-
izing to true sportsman the way the
Nihilists get the buck fever every time
thew draw a bead on that poor little
frightened Czar. Kill him, gentlemen,
if YOU are going to, and let us see how
much he weighs dressed. .-PecE's San.

Young men in Congress.

The present House contains an an
usually large number of youngsters.
The palm in this direction is carried of
by Richard G.. Frost, of st. Louis, who
only completed his 2Sth year last
month, and who first ran for Congress
in 1876, failing of an election than,
when he was under twenty-five. Tay-
lor of the First Tennessee District, the
young lawyer who has the reputation
of having fiddled his way into the
House, carrying a Republican district
by sheer force Of popularity among the
mountaineers of East Tennessee, will
not be thirty until next July, and Ack-
len, of Louisiana, is only a couple Of
months his senior, while Speer, of
Georgia, is but little over thirty-one.
Frost is a very boyish-looking fellow in
the light business suit which he usu-
ally wears, and it would not be at all
strange if he is sometimes mistaken for
one of the pages by colleague as he
not unfrequently is by spectators.
Speer looks so young that nobody who
should see him outside his seat would
suppose he was a member of Congress.
Indeed, a little incident which occurred
in horse-car going up Capitol Hill,
recently, shows that not all his fellow
members yet know him as law-maker
A scholarly representative from Ohio,
Of nearly twice his years, fell into con-
versation with him, but they had not
talked long before the Westerner, ap-
parently suspecting that he was being
interviewed "unbeknownst, " remarked
inquiringly, "You're journalist,
aren't you, ?" His surprise may be
imagined when the young man replied
"No, sir; l am a member of the House
from Georgia."

fashionable Pnwnina.

American ladies can hardly form an
idea of the immense extent Of the pawn
ing business in Paris, which is largely
carried on by women. Thousands Of
ladies in that city who move in fashion,
able circles almost continually have
some portions of their wardrobe and
iewelry in pawn. Of late new branch
of trade has sprung up. Furs that have
been pawned are hired out by the day,
or even by the hour, A lady may ap-
pear on some cold day in an elegant fur
cloak, which she hired of pawn-brOk-
er for few hours, which cloak has
been pawned by some ether lady who
desired to make marked display in
some other ditection-perhaps in jew
elry, or an elaborate costume. With
out one knows absolutely the financial
standing of an elegantly dressed lady
in Paris, one cannot tell whether she
has been costumed at the pawn-shOp or
not. And this is phase Of fashionable
life in Paris

Tne nTgtertes o. TuIare Lake.

Fourteen human skulls ranged round
in circle, were found on an island in
Tulare Lake, CAL, a few weeks ago.
The mysterious reminders Of some lost
romance were in the middle of the is
land, small patch of grass, thick
brush, and pigmy cottonwood trees.
No other bones could be found near
them. Near by on the shore Of the is
land were two huts of basket work, but
both untenanted. Tulare Lake proba-
bly, is the most mysterious spot on the
continent. 1t is 300 miles south of San
Francisco, on a great plain. AS the
traveller approaches, the water appears
to be higher than the land. The dry
land of the plain gives place to damp
soil mile or so before the water is
reached. When the margin is found at
last one may wade out for more than
mile and not get In above the knee.
The lake runs forty miles. The bottom
is formed of powerful clam shells, and
there are hundreds of small islands
and punches of tules. Millions of
white birds Of the gull kind tentant
the islands, flock high in the air, or
skim the still water. In the Indian
summer Just past the whole lake was
vailed in mist. Mounds have been
found all along the shore, and before
many months the whole bottom will
show traces Of submerged city.

The. Confederates in Congress are
very quiet, but they putting in their
work all the same, They are not en-
gagged, as in the special session, in max
ing speeches laudatOry of the arch
traitor JEFF. Davis, but they are on a
still-hunt to increase the confederate
majority in the two houses. Already
a report has been made in the Senate
favoring the ousting of Senator Kel-
logg, Of Louisiana, who has held the
seat for three years and is as fairly en-
titled to it as any member on the floor.
Never before, in the history Of the
country, has such a bold and infamous
act been perpetrated against the will Of
the people.

The Price Of Print Paper.

1t has become a source of serious an
noyance and viii be of embarrassment
to all the newspaper publishers of the
United States that print paper has ia
ken so vast a rise. 1t is now fully go
per cent. higher than it was months
ago. In the meanwhile most publish
ers have continued their old prices, and
while so doing they are certain that
they are losing money.
st. Louis appears to be the only city
in which the rise is distinctly recog-
nized. The larger journals of that city
have put their prices up from twenty
five to thirty cents per week. Soon in
all the departments of the printing
trade this rise will have to be Yecogniz-
ed, and the publishers will have to
charge more for print paper, inasmuch
as they are paying go per cent. more.
Business never can be long continued
where the loss is steadily on one side.
In view of thel extraordinary advance
in white paper, it has been suggested
that the United States should abolish
the present prohibitory duty and,
as fair compensation in return to the
manufacturer here, Congress should
likewise abolish the duty Of $5.G5 per
ton on soda ash, and likewise the duty
on other chemicals which enter into the
composition of print paper.
It is probable that the present price
of white paper will continue, because
the market has only touched the scale
of ante-war prices, when we had gold
currency. The depression in the pa
per market was unnatural, and could
not continue any more than that nails
could continue $2.l0 per 100 pounds,
which was the lowest price ever reach
ed by the nail market in the history of
modern civilization. The rebound has
come in iron, and so it has in print pa
per.

Fred. Douglass and His Former
Owner.

The relations which existed between
Frederick Douglass and his former
owner, Capt. Aud, of Talbot county,
who has just died at the age Of eighty
five years, were highly ereditable to
both master and slave. While still a
young man, Douglass ran away, not be-
cause of the severity of his master, but
because of desire to secure his free
dom. He was ignorant at the time that
Captain Aud Contemplated the man-
omission Of all his slaves when they had
reached certain age. This purpose
was scrupulOusly executed, so that
Douglass would have been freed In a
few years had he remained with him.
Mr.. Douglass always retained the kind
est feelings toward his former owner,
and visited him at his residence In St.
Miohsels, ahOuttw years ago,

FOOTE rs OFF.

The death Of Henry s, Foote ends
the career of one of the most remarka.
ble men of the last generation. There
have been many ablcr men and yet
more who were wiser than Foote among
his contemporaries, but few have left
so varied record He entered the
United States Senate from Mississippi
when Clay, Webster and Calhoun were
yet among its members, and first dis
tinguished himself by his violent as.
saults upon the anti-Slavery men of
the North and his amiable suggestion
that his iellow.Senator, John p, Hale,
should be hung for treason. In 1850
he joined the conservative elements of
Congress to pass the Compromise
measures of that year, and when JEFF
Davis, his Senatorial colleague, reyolted
against the adjustment and accepted
the Radical pro-slavery nomination for
Governor of Mississippi, Foote resigned
his seat, became q stump candidate
against Davis on the Union platform,
and defeated him, His next prominent
appearance was as a secession agitator,
and when the Confederacy was organ
lied he turned up as a Senator from
Tennessee, and was faithful to his old
vagaries by opposing pretty much
everything that anybody did about the
Davis administration. After the war,
when old age and grim want came
hand in hand, he favored the old flag
and an appropriation, and managed to
keep himself hanging around the rag
ged edges OF power. He held the office
OF Superintendent OF tho Mint at New
Orleans until lew days ago, when he
resigned and returned to Tennessee to
meet the long halt that sooner or later
must come to all. He was a petulent
agitator aggressive, quarrelsome and
seldom did even the right thing wisely
His usefulness for any purpose had
long since ended, and the world will
take little note OF his departure.
