Face Difficulties,

Have the courage to face the difficulty,
lest it kick you harder than you bar
gained for. Difficulties, like thieves,
often disappear at a glance. Have the
courage to leave convivial party at the
proper hour for doing SO, however great
the sacrifice; and to stay away from one
upon the slightest grounds for objection,
however great the temptation to go.
Have the courage to do without that
which you do not need, however much
you admire it, Have the courage to
speak your mind when it is necessary
that you should do SO, and hold your
tongue when it is better that you should
be silent. Have the courage to speak
to poor friend in n seedy coat, even in
the street, and when rich one is nigh.
The effort is less than many people
think it to be, and the act is worthy Of q
king. Have the courage to admit YOU
have been in the wong, and You will

HUMAN nature is hard to understand.
The wife of Henry Kirk, of Madison,
Indiana, virtuous and handsome wo-
man of thirty years, was recently called
upon by young Pennsylvania jewelry
mender, of good address and oily tongue.
Mr.. Kirk was absent at the time. The
young man was so excessively po.
lite and irresistibly fascinating that
Mrs. Kirk was completely captivated.
A few days after the event she became
wildly deranged, constantly repeating
the substance of the conversation, and
her husband has been compelled to send
her to the Insane Asylum.

LeaVe-taking.

Not all have learned the art Of leave
taking i'll an appropriate manner. When
you are about to depart, do so Mt once,
gracefully and politely, and with no
dallying. Don't say "It's about time I
was going," and then settle back and
talk on aimlessly for another ten
minutes. Some people have just such O
tiresome habit. They will even rise
and stand about the room in various at
titudes, keeping their hosts also stand
ing, and thon by IN effort succeed in
getting as far as the hall, when new
thought strikes them. They brighten
up visibly and stand for some minutes
longer, saying nothing of importance,
but keeping everybody in O restless,
nervous state. After the door is opened
tho prolonged leave taking begins, and
everybody in general and particular is
invited to call. Very likely o last
thought strikes the departing visitor,
which his friend must risk a cold to
hear to the end. What relief when
the door is finally closed There is no
need of being Extensively abrupt, but
when you are ready to go-go.

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1882-10-20

Present estimated majority for Wilson
1t is barely possible that the official
returns from the five latter counties
may transfer the votes which now
constitute WILSON'S majority to Ma
sons column. Such result would not
be surprising, and yet is scarcely proba-
bic. Mr.. MASON has, at least, the
chances in his favor on the reports, with
the probability that his majority will
be increased rather than diminished.
In Taylor county recount was de-
manded, which is reported to have re-
duced the majority first given MASON,
three or four votes. This would make
WILSON'S present majority 10.
We think the msjorities reported from
Barbour, Morgan and Preston will
prove to be correct as given above.
So that the chief reliance for any
change in favor of Mr.. MASON is from
the county of Tucker. This is remote
county and it is altogether probable
that the report received is inaccurate.
Yet it is Democratic county and has
reported majority for WILSON con-
siderably below its usual majority.
Tucker gave HoGE l42 majority in 1876
and now reports only 81 for WILSON.
This is some assurance that the report
will not be reduced, and that WILSON'S
majority will continue to increase rather
than otherwise.

COMPLETING A DIsREPUTABLE
RECORD

The history of the Presidential cam
paign of 1876 would not be complete
without the final entry just made in
the income-tax suit against SAMUEL ].
TILDEN.
1t is only one of the incidents-but
not the least signifcant-of the most
disreputable pol teal contests in the
history of the Republic.
The dismissal of the suit is
tantamount to the declaration
that it was commenced and
was carried forward solely for the pur-
pose of affecting public opinion against
the candidate Of the opposition to the
party temporarily in power. 1t is a
confession that the law department OF
the Government was used Indignantly
during the administrations of GRANT
and HAYES, not to secure justice, but to
affix a stigma upon leading citizen.
The Chicago Times, Ind, says:
An attempt was made some time ago to
place Mr.. Tilden in the same attitude of
justifying the suits by representing him as
eager to compromise and willing, if the
Government would move in the matter, to
pay all costs. This was wholly unauthor-
lied by Mr.. Tilden, and now the Govern
ment dismisses of its own motion. Incl
dentally, the Attorney General read Mr..
District Attorney Stewart L. Woodford
lesson IN professional decency and common
Justice which that official richly deserved.
The suit was commenced during
Grants term, when it was seen
that Mr.. Tilden would be a can
didate for the Presidency. 1t was not
pushed to an issue and it was not designed
by the Government to reach a settlement.
The dirty work that Taft began Deyens con-
tinued, upon the superstition that Tilden
was a contin uing Presidential candidate and
that il was desirable to hold this suit open
in order that the Government, controlled
by his opponents, might, by moving in it,
sgain direct attention to the allegations Of
Tlden's delinquency. twas tyrannous
and daStardly use of the enginery of free
and powerful republic to strike down con-
fitence in the leader of party which the
election Of 1876 showed led the popular
vote by quarter Of million.
