How rs Make Money.
no make money is the heieht0f svef

To make money Is the height6f eVPfy:
body 8 ambition Nobody work. fof love
neither do they work for fun. But they
want to make money; and make 1t hon
estly, How ARE we to do thise Sons
people Have better faciliaes and better
1oeafionsfor makingmoney than we have.
That may be very true, but let it be ims
pressed upon your minds the necessity
of making your store attractive, buy as
close as possible, and be cordial and po-
lite In manner. People will notice the
former and latter of these requisites more
than anything else. What Is more pleHs+
ing tusa ! customer. than a neat, clean
store, and, above oil, a polite and
accommodating stofekeeper9 IT is, Of
course, very necessary to spend enough
money to meet your actual requirements,
but never go in debt, and see that you
do not spend more than you make. It is
again necessary to carry on the credit
system to a certain extent. When you
know customeryto beshonest, reliable
and trustworthy, credit him, but credit
ing Tom, Dick and Harry will never pay,
and In the long run you will find it SO.
Somebody that you do not know well
enough totrust, might asksyouto credit,
-himff for twenty-hv cents worth of this
or ffty-cents wofthqo ST that, andywiA Het-
tie up with So1. regularly for q. short
time, bit he; knowing that he can get
credit from yot, VIII keep IN increasing
the account until you get anxious and
present the bill, and in three cases out of
four, youswMs get nothing from him. It
is betterto sell ten dollars worth Of goods
for cash than twenty-five dollars for
credit. anybody that has been carrying
on o credit business win tell you the.
same thing. Above all things, be honest..
If a customer wants a pound of this or a
spound that dornotgiyeh him a pound and
a quarter or seven-eights Of a pound but
give him just n pound, for by giving
him too mitch, you are cheating yoHr-
self, which is just as sinful as if you
cheated him. Devote your whole time
in pursuitpf your business. IF you have
any time to spare, devote it either to
arranging b egoods in your show cases
or upon the Shelves Or read something
that will benefit yotland your business,
find out where youScan buy your goods
the cheapest for cash and go there, no
imatter.h how long you have been buying
from the other man. By doing these
things,eyour business VIII prosper

Materials for History.

IF the history of the War Of the Re-
bellionis ever fully and impartially writ
ten, the facts must be gathered not only
from offcia1F epoftsza and p~retentious vol
,umes, but from the, thousands of letters
written from the field to newspapers OF
sent by officers and soldiers to their
friends. These waits will often supply
an EXPLANATION to events imperfectly or
incorrectly set forth elsewhere. There
is no doubt a mass Of valuable material
in the Unpublished correspondencerto be
found IN many private households. How
ever triding in interest it may appear to.
those whoSwrote or those who received
the letters, it should be carefully noted
wherever there issa possibility of its be-
ing important, and copies or the origis
nalsbe deposited in. public libraries, or,

these remarks have been suggested by
an incident, within o1r own knowledge.
In October. 1868, Captain F. o, Hurd,
of the Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiment
wrote to his father in this city d very;
spirited account. of the sharp fight at
Gainesville, Tenn. It was furnishedsto
the Gazette for publication, andappeared
IN our issue OF OctoDer- IL, 1ooo ltWa
thence copied into Frank Moore's RE

told of, or at least had forgotten, the
printing of the letter in the Gazette, and
knew nothing about its reproduction in
the .asRecord auntil recently he received
from the Adjutant Generals office a
manuscript copy of his letter, hand.
somely engrossed, with an accompany
ing request that he should sign the copy
and indorsesits correctness as published
by Moore. This action shows the earn7
estness with which the Government is
collecting materials and its appreciation
of Captain Hurd's admirably written
though unofficial report. The authori-

after the failure Of his celebrated Bou-

Able to Support Themselves.

The imperial family of Germany is
quite able to supportitself. If the Grown
Prince were deprived of his inheritance
he could easily win bread and butter by
his skill as turner; while his eldest son,
Prince Wilhelm, is an excellent amateur
artisan. On the Emperor's cabinet are
several samples of his dead grandson
Waldemar's proficiency as a ,bookbinder.
This acquisition of a trade is in accord
ance with the traditionary customs in
the royal family, which prescribe that
every Prince of the blood shall learn
some5useful handicraft, SO as to strength
en- his spirit of Independence and make
him wise through actual contact with
the material world.
