A LESSON FoF. YouNe MEN-Young men,
if you contemplate business career, you
cannot look after your habits too carefully.
Your aim in life is to be successful in all your
undertakings, and you can never be success.
ful with bad habits. Matters which seem of
small amount to you now, may become in fu-
ture the turning point in your career, either
up or down, as they have that of any man
before you. In illustration of this, we print
the following anecdote, as related in one OF
the most prominent dailies in New York:
Horace B. Clafin, the most prominent and
wealthy dry goods merchant of New York,
was alone in his Office one afternoon when
young man, pale and care-worn, timidly
knocked and entered. "Mr. Clahin," said
he, "I have been unable to meet certain pay
ments because parties failed to do by me as
they agreed to do, and I would like to have
$4,000. I come to you because you have
been friend to my father; be friend to
me-"
"Come in" said Clafin; "come in and
have glass of wine." "No," said the young
man, "i don't drink" "Have cigar, then"
"No-I never smoke" "Well," said the jo.
ker, "I would like to accommodate you, but I
don't think can." "Very WE'LL" said the
young man, as he was about to leave the
room. II thought perhaps you might. Good
day, sir. "Hold on" said Mr.. Clafip f'you
don't drink ?" "No." "Nor smoke, nor gam
Bile, nor anything of the kind?" mo, sir"
"Well," said Mr. Clafin, with tears in his
eyes, you shall have it, and three times the
amount if you wish. Your father let me
have $4,000 once, and asked me the same
questions. No thanks-I owe it to you for
your fathers sake"

SIT Is Nor My BUSINESS" "A wealthy
man in St. Louis was asked to aid in series
of temperance meetings, but he scornfully re-
fused. After being further pressed he said
"Gentlemen, it is not my business"
A few days after, his wife and two daugh.
ters were coming home on the lightning ex.
press. In his grand carriage, with liveried
attendants, he rode to the depot, thinking of
his splendid business and planning for the
morrow, Hark did some one say "acci.
dent ?" There are twenty-five railroads CEN
tering in St. Louis If there has been an ac-
cident it is not likely it has happened on
the - and Mississippi railroad. Yet it
troubles him. 1T is his business" now. The
horses stopped on the instant, and upon in.
quiry he finds it has occurred twenty-five
miles distant on the - and Mississippi. He
telegraphs tU the superintendent: 81 will give
you Eve hundred dollars for an extra engine"
The answer flashes back: "No!"
81 will give you one thousand dollars for
an engine"
"a train with surgeons and nurses has al
ready gone forward. We have no other"
With white face and anxious brow that
man paced the station to and fro "It is his
business" now. In a half hour, perhaps,
which seemed to him century, the train ar
rived. He hurried towards it, and in the
tender, found the mangled and lifeless forms
of his wife and one of his daughters. In the
car following lay his other daughter with her
dainty ribs crusl ed in, and her precious life
oozing slowly away.
A quart Of whiskey, which was drunk 6f'
ty miles away by a railroad employee, was
the cause of the catastrophe.
Who dares say of this tremendous question,
"It is not my business?"

COURAGE IN D1sEAsE.-Many life has
been saved by the moral courage of sufferer.
It is not alone in bearing the pain of opera.
tions or the misery of confinement in sick
room this self help becomes of vital moment,
but in the monotonous tracking of weary
path and the vigorous discharge Of ordinary
duty. How many a victim of. incurable
disease has lived on through years Of suffer
ing, patiently and resolutely hoping against
hope, or, what is better, living down despair,
until the virulence of threatening malady
has died out, and it has ceased to be destruc.
tive, although its physical characteristics re-
mained.
The power of "good spirits" is matter Of
high moment to the sick and weakly. To
the former it may mean the ability to survive,
to the latter the possibility of out-living, or
living in spite of disease. 1t is, therefore,
of the greatest Importance to cultivate the
highest and most buoyant frame of mind
which the conditions will admit. The same
energy which takes the form of mental ac-
tirity is vital to the work of organism.
Mental influences affect the system, and a
Joyous spirit not only relieves pain, put in
creases the momentum of life in the body.
The victims of disease do not commonly
sufficiently appreciate the value and use of
"good spirits" They too often settle down
in despair when professional judgment de-
termines the existence of some latent or
chronic malady. The fact that it is probable
they will die Of a particular disease casts so
deep gloom over their prospects that,
through fear of death, they are all their life.
time subject to bondage. >.
The multitude of healthy persons who
wear out their strength by exhausting jour.
neys and perpetual anxieties for health is
very great, and the policy in which they i'll.
dulge is exceedingly shortsighted. Most of
the sorrowful and worried cripples, who drag
out miserable lives in this way, would be
less wretcbed and live longer if they were
more hopeful. 1t is useless to expect that
any one can be reasoned into lighter frame
of mind, but it is desirable that all should be
taught to understand the sustaining, and
often even curative, power Of "good spirits. -

KalIOch Called to AccOunt-PassaEe of
 ScaGhzng Resolutions by the Ban - Francisco Supervisors The Mayor
 Putting a Motion for His Own Ena-
 peachments
 SAN FRANCISCO, May At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors last evening the Judiciary Committee, which has been in structed to take into consideration the utter ance and addresses of Mayor Kalloch and to report the proper actioA to be taken by the Board in the promises, filed long re- port reviewing the history of the labor agitation and the part borne in it by Kalloch, finding that he has encouraged the lawless and discontented clement, advised them to parade the streets, and endsavored to keep them in such disposition and temperament as to commit an outbreak whenever 1t should suit his purposes; that he has inpeached the honesty of the whole community; accused va rious branches of the city government of cor ruption and dsreliction of duty, and, under pretence of counseling the mob against vio lence, insidiously advised them in readiness for bloodshed and the overthrow of the au- thorities. They expressed the opinion that Kalloch is interruptions, unprincipled and devoid of integrity and of fidelity to tho public interests, and that the time has arrived for the people to express their condemnation of his acts, and recon mend that something prompt be done to vim dicate the fair fame of the municipality by judicial inquiry into Kelloch's case. The mo- tion to adopt the report was put by Mayor KAlloch, who announced that by the viva Voce vote it was carried. The roll wxs then called, resulting in 8 unanimous vote for it's adoption. A resolution was then adopted authorizing the Finance Committee to cause judicial proceedings to be instituted against the Mayor for his removal from office, and empowering them to employ counsel and Throughout the reading of the report and resolution Kalloeh appeared cool and un- moved, seeming to consider only the dignity of his position as presiding officer of the board.

Washburne Not a Candidate.

CHICAGO, May 4.-The Daily News of this city says that it is authorized by Hon. E. B. Washburne to state that he still adheres un- equivocally to his already announced position, and that the various movements looking to his candidacy for the Presidency are entirely without his approval. MT. Washburne says positively that under no circumstances will he be candidate for the Presidency but that he is for Grants nomination first last and al ways.
 The Chicago Evening Journal, which has recently been booming for Washburne, says editorially: The Daily News publishes to, day what purports to be an authoritative state ment from Hon. B. B. Washburne to the eff feet that he is not candidate for the Pxesi- dency. We have known that all along, and have said so time and again. We are well aware that Washburns does not seek the po- sition, and that owing to his personal rsla- tions with Grant he will not consent to be a candidate against Grant. But the people who propose to nominate Washburne have not con- suited CT do not propose to consult his wish or pleasure in the premises He is thsir candi- date no matter who his candidate is, and they mean to secure his nomination If possible re- gardIess of his own personal wishes. That is the plain fact of the matter.
 A meeting called at Fairbank Hall this evening of the Republicans who are in favor Of Washburne for President is for consulta- tion and organization. The movement had its origin with leading Republicans of the city who are very much in earnest. The supporters of Washburne's candidacy have naught to make against the candidates, but are bound to do the very best they can for their own candidate.

 The question of releasing, as far as the general government is concerned, the two Mexican officers now held by the Texas au- thorities on a charge of smuggling and at tempted murder, was decided in the af1irma- tive. It seems according to the statement submitted to the Cabinet by the Mexican Ministry here through the Secretary of State that these officers crossed the Rio Grands in- to Texas in pursuit of two deserters upon whom they fired while on Texas soil The Texas authorities arrested them on the charges as stated above. The charge of smuggling is tke only one with which the federal govern ment can deal, and it was directed that the officers should be released from this charge. The charge of attempted murder is one over which the State of Texas has jurisdiction.

Why, just this i; if James Riley was pulling a shell over that course beside those men, he would pull it for all that was in him, and those who looked on could see just how fast these two men who have been charged with trick cry are rowing.
