Worse than 4 Ghost.

A stranger was sitting in ceme-
terv of a town in northern Ohio
one evening recently when a man
approached him and remarked po-
litely:
This is rather a ghostly place af-
ter dark. The tombstones standing
white and still in the moonlight
look like SO many weird spirits of
the night.
Oh, replied the stranger, laughing
pleasantly, am not at all supersti-
tious. l never had any fear of
ghosts, even when l was a small
boy.
The two gentlemen then chatted
for a few moments, and finally the
stranger said:
May have the pleasure of know
ing your name5
Certainly, sir, was the polite re-
sponse. Ny name is Rutherford B.
Hayes.

The Early Bird, Etc.

The London Agricultural Gazette
says, that he who intends to sue
ceed in agriculture must be an ear
ly man; early in rising, early in
getting in his crops, early in reap
ing them, early in meeting his men,
early at fairs, early in markets and
early to bed. 'The youth who can
not rise until he is called who will
not get up when he is called, who
comes down to breakfast in en-
broidered slippers and cannot move
out of doors until he has had his
pipe, may be a good fellow, a gem
tleman and many other good things
but he is not going to succeed as a
farmer, or in any other rural occu-
patton. He has mistaken his call
ing, and is himself a mistake"
There is much in that good old
Saxon word "early," continues the
Gazette. ''It is the early sun that
ripens the corn; the early bird that
catches the worm; the early lamb
that makes the money; the early
chicken that pays the hen-wife; the
early gooseberry that commands
the market; the early swarm that
makes the honey; the early sown
wheat that fills the bushel; the ear
Iy sown barley that pleases the
matter; the early sack of wheat
that attracts the miller; the early
peas that pay the rent; the early
potato that fetch the money; the
early shepherd that fattens the
sheep; the early carter that pleases
his master; the early farmer who
grows rich; the early housewife that
keeps her maids; and the early
maid that keeps her place. EarIi-
ness is the true road to success, and
the fact so few can succeed in the
race.of life, is because so few can
shake of dull sloth and rise early.
There are some vacations in life in
which early rising is not necessary,
but they are chiefly those to which
another wise saying applies, shat
you cannot burn the candle at both
ends"

1872 as roadmaster of the division
between Nashville and Decatur.
Ala. He moved thence to the Hen
derson Branch, afterwards to Mem
phis, where he acted for some years
as superintendent of the Memphis
division. 1t was in 1880, only four
years ago, that Mr. Harahan came
to New Orleans as the successor of
ID. b. Robinson in the superinten-
dency of the line between this CITY
and Mobile. Everybody here knows
how well he filled this post, and
how much he improved this portion
of the road. There was no sur
prise, therefore, at his promo
tion in December, 1888, to the
position of general superintendent
of all the lines and branches of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
south of Decature, and now to the
higher post just rendered him OF
general manager of the entire sys-
TEN. We spoke, some time since,
of the selection of Milton H. Smith
as president of this road, and pre-
dicted that his management would
be thoroughly successful and would
restore it to the prestige and high
position it has enjoyed. Mr.. Smith
is himself practical railroad man.
having been general freight agent
of the Baltimore d Ohio and gener
al southern agent of the Pennsyl
yania. The appointment of Mr..
Harahan vindicates his knowledge
of railroad matters, as he could
have made no better selection"

Another overcrowdsd Profession.

Many parents ask: "What shal
we do with our boys7' 1t is NO
surprising that they should fee
puzzled how to dispose of them
We have a piece of advice TO offer
| Don't make them millIonaires OF
any account. 1t is an over-crowdeC
profession, and one in which thers
is not even room at the top. HARD
as young doctors, young lawyers
young engineers find 1t to carr
enough money to pay for having
their hair cut and their boots
blacked, it is nothing to the hard
ships that the young millionaire
will have to 60 through in his en-
deavor to take any position in the
calling. To acquire any distinction
is almost impossible, as has been
proved by the recent collapse of so
many in the profession that fond
and indulgent parents have chosen
for them.
1t is high time to look out for
other businesses or trades for young
men in which there may be some
remote chance of their being able
to get living.
The difficulty is, that while the
path of the young millionaire, after
he has received his diploma, seems
broad and hopeful, ana he may
achieve at first fair measure of
success, he can never be sure of re-
tanning his practice. In moment
it may be swept away.
Let US take look at the present
condition of some of those who but
short time ago were acknowledged
to be at the head of the profession.
There was no more favorite prac-
titioner than Mr.. Keene, and yet he
is scarcely mentioned now. Then
Mr.. Willard succumbed, although
the practice that he enjoyed was
viewed with envy by all other mil
lionaires. Take, too, the case of
Commodore Garrison. No man
was considered more skillful in his
speciality. What VIM. NJ. Evarts is
to law, Commodore Garrison was
to finance; and yet he is now hope
lessly stranded.
With such examples before US,
the folly of studying with view of
becoming millionaire Is apparent.
There is no room for anybody at
present. The business has been
overdone. Let young men pursue
the profession of politics, or car
driving, or peanut-selling instead.
They will find it more profitable IN
the end, and will be certain of
gaining the respect of the commu-
nifty.
At the same time, we have no
idea that our advice will be taken.
Our colleges will still continue to
graduate classes of young million
aires, who will make desperate
efforts to get living by their pro-
fession; but they will be unable to
do it. Even those who are now at
the top of the tree the public has no
use for.-Puck.

A Singular prcphesy.

The reading of Jessups dream in
last Sundays Gazette called to
mind singular prophesy made by
an eccentric old man by the name
of Taylor in January, 1865. Tay-
lor hved' near Brownsville, Tenn,
and Mr.. Joe Biggs, Mr.. James
Hooker and myself, then in the Con-
federate army, took refuge at his
house from a snow storm which was
then prevailing. The old gentle
man was a pronounced Union man,
and tolerated by his neighbors on
account of his eccentricity, and
they said "the old man is crazy"
He met US at the steps and at
once commenced to preach and
prophesy about the bible; and con-
tinued to do until we left, which
was in about four hours. Among
the many things he prophesied, he
said:
"You are rebel soldiers and want
to break up the union, but you
can't do it. God has d,ecreed that
the south must live under the same
government as the north, and The
rebellion cannot succeed. The
southern armies will surrender
about May or June; ard Lincoln
will cease to be president within a
short time after, 1 cannot tel which.
A quasi peace will be established
about May on June, 1865, and the
government will then be admins
tered by the Lincoln party for
about twenty years. Then a new
man, unknown to this nation, will
be taken up by the opposition par
" and elected president. Then po-
litical war will rage and The north
ern states principally be the field
battle. When this war is over the
capitol viii be removed to the Mis-
sissippi valley, another constitution
be adopted, and a new government
built upon the ruins of the old one.
Fhen peace and prosperity will pre-
vail for many long, long years"
l refer you to Mr.. Biggs and Mr..
Hooker, who live at or near Collier
vile, Tenn, for the verifcation OF
this. We too said the man was
crazy, but the death of President
Lincoln and the surrender of the
southern armies was so fully in ac.
cordance with the prophecy of Mr.
Taylor that we were forced to be

madness. respectfully,

M. Pasteur's HydrOphobia Ex-
perimentS.

The experiments which NJ. Pas
teur is thus far said to have made al G
said to be an unbroken success.
Fifty-seven dogs have been the sub
jects of investigation. OF these
nineteen were rabid, and by these
thirty-eight healthy animals were
bitten under uniform conditions.
OF the thirty-eight, one half the
number had been inoculated or
''vaccinated'' with attenuated virus;
the other half had not. The latter,
without a single exception, died
with unequivocal signs Of rabies,
whereas the nineteen others remain
as well as ever. They will be watch
ed for year by veterinary sur
geons to see whether the inoculation
holds good permanently or tempo
rilly. If rabies be not spontane-
Gus in its origin, and if the expert
ments of Pasteur all turn out sue
cessful, there seems no reason why
canine madness should not be ex-
tirpated from our midst.-Lancet.

Boston Gazette Gen. Butler, in
his established character of dis
gruntled and habitual demagogue
and political marplot, has congen-
tally and consistently come to the
fore again, and as usual, to create
confusion. The canvass was prob
ably assuming too serious
an aspect in his eyes and was
lacking in that breezy farce comedy
element, that chatting spiciness
which his presence would impart to
it; therefore he presents himself as
first low comedian to the campaign.
Butler is the irrepressible enfant ter
ribIs, the Peck's Bad Boy of our
politics. He cannot be at rest
while there is worrying to be done
or mischief to make. Like Bully
Button, he is restless for distinction,
and not only wants to play lead
ing part, but is eager to do the roar
ing as well. He is not only Off
ciously and gratuitously trouble
some, but he is rapidly becoming a
tedious nuisance that needs snub-
bing into the background with a
vigor that shall impressiyely sug
gest the desirability Of his remain
ing there.

The Secret of Wall Street.

Across the Island Of New York
IN 1856 wall of earth and stone
was built, a wall cannon mounted,
to keep back the savages. Along
this wall ran a street, and as the
street kept the line of the wall, it
was appropriately called Wall
street. Short, narrow, unarchitec-
tural, and yet unique in its history,
and excepting Lombard Street,
London the mightiest street in the
world. There the United States
was born. There Washington held
his levees. There Mrs. Ad ans and
Mrs. Arnold, and Mrs. Caldwell and
Mrs. Knox, and other brilliant wo-
men of the revolution, displayed
their charms. There preached
Witherspoon, Jonathan Edwards
and George Whitefield. There DIR.
John Mason chided Alexander
Hamilton for writing the constitu
ton without any God in it. There
negroes were sold in the slave-mart.
There criminals were harnessed to
wheelbarrows and compelled to
draw burdens. There they were
lashed through the street behind
carts to which they were fastened.
That street has seen the corona
tion and the burial of ten thousand.
The abode of just the opposites-
answering integrity and tiptop
scoundrelism, heaven-descended
charity and bloodless Shylockism.
The history of Wall street would
be the history of the commerce of
America. would like to put the
plowshare in at the curbstone in
front of Trinity church, and drive
clear through to Wall Street Ferry,
and so it shall go if the horses are
strong enough to draw the plow.
We are all stunned with the recent
defalcations in Wall street, and
there is no more absorbing question
to-day than this: What caused
"Black Wednesdays what caused
"Black Friday''P what has caused
all the black days of financial disas-
ter with which Wall street has
been connected for the last forty
yearsS Some say it is the spirit of
gambling ever and anon becoming
epidemic. Something back of that.
Some say it is the sudden shrink
age in the value of securities, which
even the most honest and intelli-
gent men could not have foreseen.
Something back of that. i will
give you the primal cause of all
these disturbances. It is the ex
travagance of modern society which
impels a man to spend more money
than he can honestly make, and he
goes into Wall street in order to
get the purposes of immediate dis
play, and sometimes the man is to
blame a sometimes his wife, and
oftener, both. Five thousand dol
lars income, ten thousand dollars
income is not enough or man to
keep the style of living he propos-

Colt and its Mothers
Blanket.

F. L. Harvey, of Fayetteville,
Ark, writes as follows to Science:
"My attention was called recently
to the peculiar actions of an orphan
colt, which perhaps are worth re-
cording. When the colt was two
weeks old its mother died. Previ-
Gus to her death she was covered
with blanket. When it was an
parent she could not live the blank
ct was thrown over the fence, and
the mare removed and the colt left
in the inclosure. The colt was
very much exercised at first and
ran up and down the yard neigh
ing; but when it came near the
blanket it stopped, smelled of it.
and seemed pacified. 1t evidently
considered the blanket its mother
and has continued to do so. If the
blanket is removed from the fence
the colt becomes restless and runs
about neighing, but is reconciled by
the blanket again. If one throws
the blanket over his back the colt
will follow the bearer all about. 1t
will Craze about in the vicinity of
the blanket but will not go far
away, and, when it wishes to rest,
will go and lie down by it."

Extravauanoe and Crime.

Extravagances account for the
positive crimes and forgeries, and
the abscondings Of the officers of
the banks. The store on Broadway
and the Office on Wall street swamp
ed by the residence on Madison
Square. The fathers, the hus-
bands craft capsized by carrying
too much domestic sail. That is
what springs that leak in the mer-
chants monev-till. That is what
cracks the pistols of suicides.
That Is what tears down marine
banks. That is what stops insu
rance companies. That is what
halts this nation again and again
in its triumphal march of pros
perity. Look at the one fact that
is a matter of solid statistics
that in this country, in the cities of
New York and Brooklyn will
narrow it down-it is estimated
that there are now over five thou
sand women whose apparel costs
them over two thousand dollars a
year each. Things have got to sach
a pass that when we cry over our
sins in church, we wipe the tears
away with a one hundred and fifty
