Takjng Things for Granted.

Half the failures in life result from
the habit so many people have Of taking
things for granted. The business man
assumes that his credits are good he
takes it for granted that his wife knows
what style Of living his income will war
rant; until the logic of addition, sub
traction and multiplication proves too
much for him, and down comes his busl-
ness in ruin. The young professional
man takes it for granted that ycncerlng
instead Of solid requirements will cna-
bic him to succeed, because there are so
many notorious examples Of mems rising
and maintaining themselves III public
life through pure mIdacity, native wit,
and an utter lack of conscience. He will
find too late that it won't do to plan and
risk career by the exceptions rather
than the rule. The farmer keeps no ac-
count-crops his farm according to the
season, or last years markets, or his
ncighbor's success-takes it for granted
that the laws of nature and OF trade will
accommodate themselves to his necessl-
tips-siuks deeper into debt, and won
ders why farming doesn't pay. And so
on to the end men everywhere want
success without paying its price in thor
ough preparation, honest hard work, in
telligent calculation and foresight, pa
ticnt attention to details. They take for
granted things which it is their business
TO know. and trust that to fortune which
common sense and experience should
teach them is controlled by law

SERVANT OIHL.
A special dispatch from Cincinnati says
This morning the town Of Marietta waS
surprised az the news OF the death by sui
eide Of All Kim, Chinaman about twenty
years old. who had commenced 4 course OF
study AT the Marietta College about two
years ago. and had become quite fAvorite
with the faculty, the students, and the
citizens. lie was sent there and sup
ported through the bcneyolence Of 4
gentleman residing At Trenton, y. j.
Al the college and on its records his
name was William NeWkim. In his classes
he had made a good average progress,
while in some Specialities the facility with
which be seemed TO acquire knowledge was
really astonishing. During last spring All
Kim met n serVant-gTl At his boarding
house. with whom he fell IN love. The
girl is miss, OF German extraction,
Youthful, and good-loOking. The student
manifested his affection in various ways
bv word and by actS-and the girl, whether
rcciprocahng his tender passion or merely
coulletting with him, encouraged him, and
alter she left Marietta and came TO Clncin-
nati. where she now is, wrote him let
ters and even sent him money. The
matter went so far a. an engage
ment between the pair 10 marry, when
was entered into about last February. some
six weeks before the girl left An Kim, 1T
Marietta. and came TO Cincinnati His de
yotion to the girl, whether she was present
or absent. was source OF amusement TO
some OF the boarders and to members OF the
household in which All Kim Ind met his
ssGame.r and, with the girls conniYanee,
they succeeded in persuAding the poor Chi
naman that the enlargement TO marry WAS
m actual marrying, and that they Woilld
live together after he graduated.
Yesterday he received letter from me
oirI asking him 10 return her pictures and
her letters. His dependency was over
wbelming. He returned the letters, and
this morning was found dead in his bed. 1t

WASHINGTON. D. G., November Il.-Su-
peryising lnspcctor-General Of Steam es-
sells Dumcnt to-day submitted his report
FOR the fiscal year 70 the Secretary Of the
Treasury. The report shows that the TO-
tai number Of accidents during The year %

From explosions, 49,; fire, 9 collisions,

lives lost by these accidents was PCS.
In his report General Dumont makes tie
following startling statement concerning
the dercliction OF duty o. the Fart OF su-
peryising inspectors: " During the year

extensive tour through several inspection

Qucut revelations Of lack Of supervision by

were without straps; the 1re-hose worn
and useless in ease OF fire; hOiler-ToOms

and many other evidences Of disregard d
law. This condition Of Affairs was some
times the fault Of the licensed officers Of
steamers. who might be careless about keep
ing up their equipments. or might deceive
the inspectors by borrowing equipments 70
pass inspection and returning themas soon
as over. But occasionally certificates rcrC

name The day, but she has with equal per-
sistence opposed his urgency, evidently
being reluctant 20 close her brilliant public
cSrcer IN The zenith Of its success. Find
ing persuasion OF no avail, Mr.. Whitney
has adopted a system Of mild coercion.
which consists in accompanying Miss Kel-
