Sir Joseph Porter, h. c. B.-of un- happy msmory-has found his match in the Hon. Mr. Somebody i've mercitully withhold his ugmel in the Connecticut Legislature, who has introduced bill tO encourage grace and elegance of de- pertinent m the rural voter of the Nut meg State. The bill directs that voters when presenting their ballots shall po- litely remove their hats. Baldheaded men will lind tLe measure peculiarly harsh, however. as there is no provision for their replacing their head covering after having voted. But thIs will prob ably be remedled. There ss also a strange omission of a needed clause directing the return of the salute by the Turvey- drop behind the ballot box. We sug- gest that he should extend his hand gra- ciously Co receive the ballot, remarking, after the style uf Sir Joseph, "If you please" an expression which that marine curiosity assures us ca particularly gen. tlemanly tone implants.' Let it be IT you please" by all means. New York Herald.

agone he and Ben Butler were on the
best social terms, and it was the same
with several other present Governors Of
Northern States, and with various gen

seemed to believe that those who had
made their mark were entirely deserving

Success in Practical Life.

If You speak the right word at the
right time; if you are careful to leave
people with good impressions; if YOU
you do not tresspass upon the rights of
others; if you always think of Others
as well as yourself; If you do not put
yourself unduly forward; if YOU do not
forget the courtesies which belong to
your position, you are quite sure to ac-
complish much in life which Others with
equal ability fail TODD. This is where the
race is not to the swift nor the battle to
the strong. 1t is where you make peo.
pie feel that you are unselfsh and hon
orabIe, and truthful and sincere. This
is what society is looking for in men;
and it is astonishing how much men are
able to win for self-respect and success
aud usefulness who possess these quali-
ties OF good breeding. 1t is almost the
turning point of success in practical
life Exchange.

Don't NEEDLE with the tariff again

say the tariff issue is the great overshad-
owing issue before the people, and it is
an issue which the Democratic marty
must meet. The party that lodges (

Is not that party divided upon the tariff
question? The New York Times, New

ing Of scores of Republican newspapers
representing intelligent constituencies
IN the rural districts of the West. are
decidedly opposed to high tariff svs-
tenn, and as decidedly in favor of gen
uine reform and reduction in tariff
duties. The fact is, the great mass of
the Democratic party and a very respec-
table following in the Republican party
demand this reform. For every man
who will fall out Of the Democratic
ranks when the Democratic party shows
a determination to stand by its pledges
on the tariff question, ten Republicans
will step in. The Democratic party
must not attempt to keep time to the
old Republican music. The party that
wins in 1884 will be the party that Wig
orously fights against excessive taxation
which is Just what comes from this old
war tariff.

EX-SENATOR BRUCE.

Hon. 3. \. Bruce, Register Of thu
Treasury, in an interview in regard {,
the condition of his race, said: "Educa
ton Is the great need Of our race now
and wish chat the powers that be couc
be brought to realize it as keenly ~
many Of our people do. Do you know
that many Of the colorcd people $.
thoroughly realize the necessity for cIu
cation that they are willing to deprive
themselves Of almost anything else that
this may be had?'
In the course of conversation Mr.
Bruce said, referring to the education Of
his race in the south: "The national
government ought 10 appropriate a sum
OF money-say $4,000, 000-for school
purposes there, making it available in
case the states do a certain portion of
the work. They plead that they are NOT
able TO keep up public schools for the
negro, or even, indeed, for the whites
saying that the war impoverished them
to such an extent And that is doubt
less true, for they lost greatly in their
property in addition to their slaves. But
the colored people are good citizens as q
rule, orderly and diligcnt, but MANY Of
them are becoming property owners and
taxpayers And it is right that tbpv
should :I3 nave educational advantages.
Their position as taxpayers entities
them TO 1t, and die power Of the ballot
winch they hold makes it the duty Of
the government to itself, as well rs 10
them, to make them intelligent"
Are the colored people of the soutb
becoming land owners, then?o
Yes; many of them own their own
homes now. The progress in that direc-
ZION has been slow and painful, but thew
are upon firm basis now, and will move
forward more rapidly. The roport If
tae controller general Of Georgia shows

Present Happiness.

The great secret of gaining happi-
ness in life is to enjoy the present.
TO be doing one thing and thinking
Of another is a very unsatisfactory
mode Of spending life. Some people
are always wishing themselves some
where but where they are, or think
ing Of something else than what they
are doing, or Of somebody else than to
whom they are speaking. This is the
way to snjoy nothing, to do nothing
we'll, and to please nobody. 1t is bot
ter to be interested in inferior persons
and inferior things than to be indiffer.
ent with the best. A principal ca use
of this difference is the adoption OF
other peoples tastes instead Of the
cultivation Of their own, the pursuit
after that for. which, we are not fitted,
and to whichsconsequently ire are not
iii reality inclined. This folly per.
vades more or less all classes, and
arises from tlle error OF building our
enjoy on the false foundation of
the world s opinion, instead OF being,
