A Washington correspondent of the
Ne,0s and Courier, writing under date of
May 2, says Of the coming Republican
Nominating Convention:
Secretary Lincoln is rapidly coming
into prominence as Presidential pos.
sibility, aud the most crafty politicians
are hestening TO enroll themselves under
his banner, q noteworthy instance being
that OF Secretary Chandler, who ia out.
spoken In favor of bis associate in the
Cabinet. It Is claimed that although
Blaine Sas strong following, still it 10
not powerful enough to secure his nom.
inatioD, and the same may be said OF
Arthur. On the other hand Lincoln is
the choice of all sections for the second
place on the ticket, and his backers say
if he il good enough for Vice. President
he must be available timber for the first
position on the ticket. a strong fight
will be made on this ground when the
Convention meets at Chicago, and if q
dead.lock becomes imminent between
I Blaine and Arthur, Lincoln's name will
BIO sprung upon the Convention and his
friends say successfully. There i Ia no
Elo1ger any doubt as to the impossibility
Of nohcinating Blaine, for the decree has
been issHed that he must be knitted at
all hazards. His boom has shrunk con-
aiderably liz the past few weeks. and
among politicians here be Ia scarcely
considered In, the race on account OF his
bad record. Edmunds has not, been
benefited by the talk concerning bis
interssss ia. certain corporations, and
from present. Indications Lincoin is the
coming man Of the Republican party
Thisist tke visw which tho INTEILi.

probabilities for come weeks pas. Less
than pn1 month moro will decide the

The Advantages Of Disadvantages

IL is easy to make our way, when circum-
stances are all in our favor: any one, how
ever undisciplne /, can do that; but to
make headway in spite of opposing circum-
stances, is another and very different thing
II takes real man or woman to accom-
plish task of such proportions. With a
fair wind and fair tide any novice would
find but little difficulty in sailing down
Union river on pleasant summers day ;
but to get up river agains; both wind and
tide would require strength, skill and,
perseverance. More than this the man who
successfully works his way for any con-
siderable length of time against obstacles. in
the surmounting of which there is no fun,
no novelty, no eclat, but only hardships and
a sense of duty. has, as rule, had previous
discipline in making his way against diff
culties. Somewhere in the past adverse
circumstances arrayed themselves against
him and taught him TO overcome them.
Grim Poverty, perhaps, in the days Of his
boyhood, stared him in the face, and
seemingly Knocked his highest hopes and
most cherished ambitions but. after all.
this apparent mockery was friend in dis
guise, for. squirting him on to toll and en-
deavor, it made man Of him. 1t was just
such training that he needed-rhai, and that
only. made him success. No school con-
fers such honors and powers upon its
graduates, as the school of adverse eircum-
stances. There are no advantages so potent
10 bes,ow success, as the advantages Of dis
advantages Where. as a rule. were the
successful business men Of our large cities
raised Not in the metropolis and other
populous places; for such cities have too
many facilities calculated to weaken that
Necessity which alone can develop Drawn
