Wellington and Nelson.

Walmer, Oct. /, 1S34.-We were
talking of Lord Nelson, and some in
stances were mentioned of the egotism
and vanity that derogated from his char
acter. "Why," said the Duke, 81 am
not surprised at such instances, for
Lord Nelson was, in different circum-
stances, two different men, as I myself
can vouch, though I only saw him one
in my life, and for, perhaps, an hour.
1t was soon after Ireturned from India.
I went to the Colonial Office in Down
ingstreet, and there I was shown into
the little waiting room on the right
hand, where I found. also waiting to see
the Secretary of State, q gentleman,
whom from his likeness to his plctur es
and the loss Of an arm, I Immediately
recognized Us Lord Nelson. He could
not know who I was, but he
entered at once into CONVEX
sation with me, if I can call it CONVERSE
ton, for it was almost all on ais side
and all about himself, and in, really, q
style so vain and so silly as to surprise
and almost disgust me. I suppose
something I happened to say may have
made him guess that I was somebody,
and he went out of the room for o mo-
ment, I have no doubt, to ask the Office
keeper who l was, for when he came
back he was altogether a different man,
both in manner and matter. All that
l had thought a charlatan style had
vanished, and he talked of the state of
this country and of the aspects and
probabilities of affairs on the Continent
with a good sense and a knowledge of
subjects both at home and abroad that
surprised me equally and more
%agreeably than the first part of our in
terview had done; in fact he talked like
an officer and a statesman. The Secre-
tary of State kept us long waiting, and
certainly. for the last half or three
quarters of an hour, / don't know that
l ever had a conversation that interest
ed me more Now, if the Secretary of
State had been punctual, and admitted
Lord Nelson in the first quarter of an
hour, [ should have had the same i'm
preston of a light and trivial character
that other people have had, but luckily
I saw enough to be satisfied that he was
really a very superior man, but certain

morphosis I never saw."-The Croker

An Industrious colored Man.
From the Okolona Messenger.

.
As an evidence that industry brings
its reward in this country, we have only
to note the case of Jerry Merret, a col
ored tenant of Colonel j. M. Trice, who,
without any help except his own fami-
", bought and paid for a pair Of mules
and a wagon, $3.50, out of his crop last
year. This year jerry, running two
plows. has made or prairie land, which
has been in cultivation forty years, six
teen bales of cotton, twelve of which
he has picked and marketed. He has
paid his rents and store accounts, and
now has $3.50 to his credit, besides four
bales of cotton yet to gin. Who will
say an Industrious economical laborine
man, be he white or black, can not make
money farming in this country?

The gold production of the United
States has ateadily declined from $45,-
100000 in 1877 to $2S, 000, 900 in 1888.
This is just about equal to the Austria
lian output, which has varied little in
the past ten years. The yield of the
R lssian mines is slowly declining.
The only countries that are increasing
their gold yield are Colombia and Ven.
ezuela. A single mine in the latter
country turned out bullion last year
worth 50, 500 900, and there is a be-
lief that there would be great devel-
opments were it not for the terribly I'M
settled condition of the government,
which is continually threatened with
revolutions.
