hides and Wool.

In the HERALD this morning will be found
the business card of Col. j. 7. Hickey, who,
for seven years past, has represented in the
Southwest w. 9. Lobenstein esq.,, of Leav-
enworth, Kansas. When Mr.. L. retired
from business last spring, Col. II. opened out
in Fort Worth, where he had been acting as
agent for Lobenstein. A few days ago he
bought out BENEFITS old stand, opposite the
Texas & Pacific depot where he places as
his agent B. +. Gross esq, formerly of Men,
phis, Tenn, and one Of the oldest and most
honored hide and leather men in the South
west. Hickey's name for honesty and honor
in connection with hides and wool through
out the state is well known, and we predict
for him bright and prosperous future.

MAKE &c REsr nr rHINGs.


How TO make the best of things" is
what we need 10 learn more than almost
anything else. Dr. Talmage made this
the subject OF lecture recently, which
abounded in sharp hints and hits that
ought 10 do something towards helping
men on III the good way. Starting with
the premise that There is no exemption
from misfortune" he went on to show
how some men were born grabbed, hard
and full of obstinacy and opposition.
After citing number of instances OF
great men who had experienced misfor-
tunes, he continued;
There is not in all this house an eve
that never wept or heart that has never
been broken. But there are aIleviations
in every trouble. We excuse "a man for
occasional depression just as we endure
a rainy day. But who could endure 800
days of a cold drizzle? Yet there are
men WHO are without cessation sombre
and charged with evil representations
We may be born with . melancholy
temperament, but that is no reason why
we should yield to it. There is a way of
shufiiing the burden. In the lottery of
life there are more prizes drawn
than blanks, and 10 one mis-
fortune there are fifty advantages.
Dependency is the most unprofita-
bic feeling a man can have. One good,
hearty laugh is a bomsheIl exploding in
the right place, while spleen and diScon-
tent are "a gun that kicks over the man
who shoots it off. Some men are born
opposed to everything. They must have
TO get into heaven backward. Let us
stand off from Observation-Disclosures Ic4nT
for sweet notes rather than for discords.
In word, where God hath put exquisite
tinge upon the shell washed III the surf,
and planted paradise of bloom in
child's check, let us leave it to the owl
to hoot, and the frog 10 croak, and the
Pathfinder To complain. Fake out door
exercise and avoid late suppers, if you
would have cheerful disposition. The
habit of complaint finally drops into
peevishness, and people become waspish
and unapproachable.
DIR. Talmage drew full-length por-
trait of man afflicted with Il fretful and
Responding disposition, of Il fop and of
a bore, giving characteristic touches to
each. No man, hesaid, respected flop,
all curls and watch chain, Jingle and
squirn and strut and pocket landker-
chief and mainly pambyism. On the
other hand, just as little regard was felt
for the man who, through recklessness
of demc;,nnr, broke through all The pro-
prieties OF life, as drove Of swine breaks
through blossoming hedge that sur
rounds q flower garden. But in these re
spects such individuals were thinning out,
and the world was getting brighter and
brighter every day There was 10 more
pleasing art than that Of saying pleasing
things in pleasant ways, and nothing
more distss;eiul and offensive than man
WHO always had something Eettlesome
TO mention. Some men had flculty of
finding out everything weak IN peoples
character, and watching to see if ii would
become carFIon. The most vigorous and
energetic minds might be conducted
with gentlsncss. 4 June morning will
bring out more flowers than all the
clustering Januarys ever created. No
man was well-behaved who had no re-
gard for times or circumstances.

THE ELECTORAL CoUNr.

There is no lack-of evidence TO show
that the Democrats are preparing for the
presidential campaign with a view TO
count in their candidate for president
whether he is elected by the people or
not. They have considered all possible
contingencies, and have measured the
value of all pretexts that may be used in
their favor. If three candidates should
be placed in the field, il will be the pol
ICY of the Democrats to encourage the
third party in certain states where the
conditions are favorable, 50 as 10 throw
the election into the hnuse. They may
do this by abandoning their party organ
iZati0n in the states selected and voting
for the third party candidate. With this
contingency ia mind, the way for the
election OF Democratic president is be-
ing opened by the unseating of Wash
burne in Minnesota The third district
in that state has always been Republi-
can, a0d Washburne had an undisputed
majority of 3,O12, yet the Democrats of
the house committee have decided TO un-
seat him and give the seat TO "A Demo
Graf. None If the northern Democratic
papers explain or defend this action of
the committee, but the Bourbon papers
of the south, assuming that no cxplaua-
ton or defense is needed, accept tine ac-
ton of the committee as conclusive evil
denee that the next president of the
United States will be a Democrat-In-
ter Ocean.
