Success in Life.

Without unremitting labor, success
in life, whatever our occupation, is i'm
possible. a fortune is not made with
out toll, and money unearned comes to
few. The haDitual ioiterer never brings
anything to pass. The young men
whom you see longing about waiting
for the weather to change before they
go to work, break down before they go
to work, break down before they begin,
get stuck before they start. Ability
and willingness to labor are the two
great conditions Of success. 1t is use
less to work an electric machine in q
vacuum; but the air may be full Of
electricity, and still you cat draw no
spark until you turn the machine. The
beautiful statue may exist III the ar
fists brain, and it may also be said in a
certain sense to exist in the marble
block that stands before him, but he
must bring both his brain and his
hands to bear upon the marble, and
work hard and lorg in order to produce
any practical result. Success ALSO de-
pends in a good measure upon a mans
promptness to take advantage OF the
rise of the tide. a. great deal cf what
we call ''luck' is nothing more aaor less
than this. 1t is the mar who keeps his
eyes open and his hands out Of his poe
kets, that succeeds. 81 missed my
chance exclaims the disappointed
man, when he sees another catch ca
gerly at the opportunity. But some
thing more than alertness is needed;
we must knew how to avail ourselves
of the emergency. An elastic temper
amlent. which never seems to recognize
the fact Of defeat, or forgets it at once,
and begins the work over again, is very
likely to insure success. Many amer-
chant loses ore fortune only to build
up another and a larger one. Many an
inventor fails or his first. and is at last
rewarded with atriumph. Some OF the
most popular novelists wrote very poor
stuff in the beginning. They were
learning their trade and could not eX-
pect to turn out tirsi class work until
their apprenticeship is over. Onegreat
secret of success is not to become dis
couraged, bur always be ready tie try
again.--EN.

tub, and nurse the babies, darn the
socks, and attend to the duties of the

could loaf for awhile around some

Secretary Teller has rendered the fol-
lowing decision in the case %fecently re-
ported to the general land Office from
Washington territory, in which one
Baird was accused of trespass;ng and
cutting timber unlawfully on public
lands: The accused, although q squat
ter, is rightfully on the land il he in
tends TO make a home on it and take it
under the settlement laws when the
land Is surveyed, and he is allowed to
do so: Whether he is or is not a tres
passer does not depend on hew many
trees he cut, but on the bona fide char
acter CT the settlement. IL he has tax
Ell the land in good faith he is the own
er thereof to all practical purposes, al
though the title may remain in The gov-
eminent. 1t is getter that the govern
ment should occasionally suffer by the
loss of timber cut on pretended home
and preemption claims than that
the settler be embarrassed in his effort
to secure the benefit Of the liberal laws
passed fer the expressed purpose of in
people to go on prblic lands to
make themselves homes.

LOCAL MATTERS.
The Tobacco Tax.


The law reducing the tax on tobacco Ia
eight cents per pound goes into effect to-
dav. Last night the Office OF Collector
Russell was beseiged by tObaccOnistS, who
were providing themselves with the neces-
sary stamps to put on the large stocks OF
tobacco which have been accumulating in
the factories here for the past sixty days.
About $4,000 worth OF stamps were dis
posed Of. the largest sale-SlS, 1S0.S0-be.
ing made to McssrS. Cullingworth n Elli-
son. Several others purchased TO the
amount OF from $4,000 to $1,000.
There is now on hand here an immense
stock OF manufactured tobacco, and the
movement i'm that important staple Of trade
for the next few days will be unparalleled
i'm the history of Richmond. AS before
stated, all the railroad lines in this city have
made arrangements 10 run special fast
freight trains TO the North, South, East,
and West, for the purpose OF accommo-
dating our manufacturers. who have large
orders to fill, but which they have been I'M
able to do in consequence OF the impend-
ing change.
1t Is probable that to-day will witness
the shipment from this city Of at least a
million pounds of manufactured tobacco
something which has never happened here
before. and which may not occur again for
many years.
