FRUE

There was one true statement made
by JAY GOULD In the testimony re-
Gently given by him before the Senate
Labor investigating Committee. Twas
to the effect that an industrious, tenn
perate man at work at any trade would
be certain 10 succeed. As g general rule
this Is so. There are csses where men
with large families have hard work to
make both ends meet, no matter how
hard they work or sober they keep, be.
cause of low wages and the high prices
Of the necessities Of life. There are
many who do not make much more
than 81 q day, and with wife to take
care Of and children to clothe and feed
it is a wonder they get along as we'll as
they do. The success Of such persons Is
strange, even il they succeed by the
closest kind OF economy in keeping the
wolf from the door. But it is especially
true, that temperance and industry will
command success. Let any young man
start out in life with a determination to
save his money-snd by savingit wedo
not mean that he shall be mean and
miserly in his economy-and not drink,
smoke or indulge in billiards, etc., and
if he adheres to this rule for years or for
life he is certain to become a rich man
and q clear. headed, strong-hearted, pure
minded one too. On the other hand
the workingman who drinks and
neglects his work will in time go to the
dogs, and his family to the p~oor-house.
We could pick out two young men OF
equal mental ability. Give one $4,000
and let him do as he likes-smoke,
drink and go with fast friends. The
other, we might say, has not a cent, but
is determined to keep straight, attend to
business and lead an upright life. He
adheres to this plan of action. In
twenty years, or less time, the rich
young man will not have a red cent left,
and be in the gutter. The poor boy,
who kept a clear head, will be rich, in
fiuentisl and respected. Young man,
be steady and saving! 1t pays a big
profit in time. We wish everybody who
reads the REGISTER would so resolve
and u word for it you will score a big
success in life.

AN IDEA.

For about eighteen months past there
appears to have been a considerable
number of finsnciers, spectators, bank
rs, brokers aud merchants, in London
nd New York, who were anxiOuSly
expecting the sky of the business world
% fall, in which event they would have
Ill been prepared to catch an abundant
upply of larks and other small birds.
in plain terms, these tinanciers and
ptculatOrs have been during all that
line fully determined that there must,
~ n matter Of course, occur In the year
l>S3 in the United States the regular
decennisl panic and commercial revul-
son, the belief in which has for so
many years past been a ~distracting ele-
ment in all branches of American trade.
But the expectations have been disap-
pointed to such an extent that the spec
ulators have taken to preying upon each
other, and at length the London Times
publishes q leading editorial article,
carefully and gravely expressing the de-
hberate opinion that there will be no
panic In this country, and that there is
no occasion for one, and reminding its
readers that for six successive years our
American crops have generally been
good, and the country sound and pros
porous. OF course, as the year is not yet
terminated, there may perhaps be
trouble yet in store for US; but the trials
Of the last eighteen months have been
endured so successfully that we believe
It is now safe to say there will be no
panic and no revulsion. Moreover, we
would remind our readers that the last
panic did not occur ten years sitter that

The --latest Dances.

1t will be of interest to the young
people of Madison, together with not
few of the old, to know that the
styles of dancing of this winter do not
differ in any material degree from
what they were last season. The
American society of professors of dane
ing, held its annual meeting in New
York recently and decided to recognize
no new dances. The racquet met
with little favor and resolution was
adopted to discard it from their lessons
and to forbid it wherever they gave
instruction. An observing New York
city letter writer says that notwith-
standing the antagonism manifested
toward the dance by these professors,
he has more than once of late seen it
INDUCED in at fashionable balls. He
continues by saying that its name is
slang one for the better. known
Redowa- gallop step, and originated in
the fact that the music which was at
first used for it was the Racquet
Waltz, lis called, in various sections
the Society, the Newport, the Ripple
and the Rockaway. It is regarded
as too snowy for modest girls to fling
themselves into. and this is why the
professors have undertaken to place it
under taboo. The round dances which
strict propriety permits this year are
the plain waltz and the redoHas. The
latter may be varied by what is called
the polka BOHEMIA, heel-and-toe step
that is net theatrical if quietly and
gracefully done. The close huggiug,
sometimes INDUCED in last winter by
couples who ought to have known
better, is now yisibly relaxed, and all
together it is thought in the east that
dancing is rather freer from abuses
than before. The square dances in
use at the pubic balls are the plain
quadrille and the plain and Saratoga
laneiers. In the latter the couples
form parallel lines and dance together,
the figures and movem ents remaining
similar to those of the ordinary Ian
ciers. The German is danced still in
private assemblages, but never at large
balls. A new round dance in vogue
in some parlors is called the Russo
and partakes of the character of the
galop and mazourka combined. There
is also square dance called the Ma
tienal Guard, composed of squares and
circles of somewhat military character
The Polo quadrille, with its rapid all
hands-round, proved too much of a
circus to please women, and has gone
pretty nearly out of fashion Varia-
tions of that polka are frequently
seen, and the old-fashioned Virginia
reel is extensively revived to the graf
iieation of old stagers and for a
change for the young people.-Stats
