The indications are that the whole
country is entering upon a very pros
porous business season. There is a
better feeling in business circles than
there has been for a long time. 1t is
said that in New York city and Phil
adelphia orders for merchandise are
being sent in 50 rapidly that it is
about impossible to fill them prompt
ly. The employees of the great job
bing houses hardly have time to get
"A lunch. From the South the orders
are large, indicating feeling of CON
fidence in the business outlook. 1t
will indeed be gratifying il these in
dicatlons prove to be correct. The
depression in business las been 50
long continued and so severe that a
great many business men all over the
country have been wondering wheth-
er they would be able to keep their
doors open much longer. A sharp re-
vival of business will be to them like
a heavy rain to the parchcd earth.
1t will put new life into them, as il
were.

HOW TO BE MISERABLE.

In the first place, il you want to
m~ke yourself miserable, be selfish;
Think all the time Of yourself and
your things. Don't care about any,
thing else. Have no feeling for any
one but yourself. Never think Of en-
joying the satisfaction of seeing 9TH
crs happy, but rather if you see IA
smiling face, be jealous lest another
should enjoy what you have not. En-
Wy every one who is better off than
yourself; think unkindly towards
them and speak lightly Of them. BE
constantly afraid lest some one should
encroach on your rights, be watchful
against it and if any OF them should
come near your things snap at them
like mad dog. Contend earnestly
Tor every thing that is your own that
may not be worth pin. Never yield
a point. BE very sensitive, and take
everything that is said to youin play
fulness in the most serious manner.
Be jealous of your friends lest they
should not think enough Of you, and
if at any time they should seem to
neglect you, put the worst construc.
ton upon their conduct.

EARTHQUAKES.

/ NAM IN u II tHNs
Noah Webster says that an earth
quake is u shaking, trembling, o.
conclusion of the earth, due to sub
terranean causes, which is all rich
and proper as far as it goes. Bn
after effects Of the recent powerful
earthquake at Charleston, S. G., tim
id people would evidently be please
to learn the cause Of earthquakes
which Mr.. Webster does not give
though very simple, when once well
understood.
1t was caused By the extreme heat
in the South, during the past sum
mer, through Natures chemical
sweat. 1t is well known that there
is to-day, billions upon billions Ct
the first created slumbering mineral
and vegetable germs still in the
earth, that have never yet Obtained
the power through heat or nature 5
chemical sweat to reproduce. Ask
your civil engineer how much power
! it would require to extract from the
earth, the chemicals and fluids, in
order to elevate them two hundred
and fifty feet in the air, with sufic-
lent force TO expand, develop and
produce tree. 1t is then rcasona-
BILE to suppose that the mineral germs
combined with heat, or nature S
chemical sweat, obtain the power to
extract from the earth the chemicals
and fluids to elevate and throw up
mountains upon this globe, where
thoy are required by nature.
You see, that the simple germs,
combined with heat obtain the power
to take even hydraulic pressure into
their embrace, control, use and play
with it, as we would Il toy. And in
such a case during extreme heat,
space being required for their deyel-
opment, undei that immense power,
something is compelled to yield, give
Way, and Charleston, for ought i
know, may be to day elevated two on
three feet in the air.
The greater amount of damage
done by the recent earthquake, APP
peared to be at Charleston, therefore
the cause must have been local, for
if the power had come from a dis
lance against fourteen pounds per
inch, air pressure, it would have lev
eled everything before il, before it
reached. Charleston
Earthquakes are not dangerous Ia
those residing near the locality where
the power is expended, for the earth
is occasionally thrown into a trcm-
bling motion sufficient to level the
troll structures OF men 10 the earth
If the entire surface of the globe
could be heated up at the same time
then there might be great danger.
But that we know is impossible, and
therefore the cool portion will always
shield and protect thatportion effect
ed by the extreme heat Of the sun.
The trouble at Charleston may
however have been caused by the ex
plosion of heated gasscs, produced
from long deposited vegetable mat
ter, underlying that city.

THURSDAY MORNING. SELL, i6, 1886.
BE CONSERVATIVE.

]
To the close observer of current
happenings touching almost every
question of general interest, the peo-
pie generally seem to be divided.
more or less, into three classes. One
class rush forward into ianaticism,
and grasplng Il theory, press their
views to that extreme, from which
caimer judgments recoil, and where
collapse usually oyertakes them.
These composing this class are not
specially retarderS Of progress, but
are often too progressive for the best
public interest.
Their neglect to consider the coli
lateral issues bearing upon the qucs-
tons considered not infrequontly
leads to a kind of cyclonic disturb
ance in the public sentiment, which
proves to be ephemeral, and but opens
the way for proper advancement.
These are sometimes denominated
/ pioneers Of thought.
Another class numbers in their
ranks those who are always mounting
censuring, grumbling, complaining,
opposing and prophesying failure,
death and destruction to any project
ed enterprise that is the outgrowth of
public splritedness and that promises
beneficial results. They seem to see
no good in anything, and appear
ready, at any fancied provacation, to
turn their ire loose upon everything.
every purpose and every project that
does not bend to, and accord with
their own way of thinking. These
are evidently retarders to progress.
obstacles to enterprise, and draw
backs to general thrift. Fortunately
Tor those who are ever ready to aid
IN any enterprise that promises to en-
nance general interest, this class is
not sufficiently strong in numbers in
America to stem the tide that beats
against them, but they have been
part OF the people from the time to
which the memory of man runneth
not.
There is third class comprising a
majority Of the people, who occupy
the happy mean of conservatism, and
who run not after, nor cater to the
tanatical ideas of, eitheroi the ex
IRENE classes above mentioned. This
conservative class proceed under the
dictates OF calm judgment, study
thoroughly and deliberately the side
issues and tributaries bearing upon
all questions Of progress and public
interest, and calculate wisely upon
results, contingent or remote, likely
to grow out of their acts. Having
done this, they establish themselves
firmly as the conseryators of what is
right and proper, and, with readiness
throw their power and influence to
the advocacy and promotion of what
ever promises to be of public utility,
to produce individual and collective
benefit, and to bring veal to their
state, then county OF their communi-
ty. These are the conseryators of
community interests, of business
thrift and enterprise, are promoters
of morals and the frmer pillars Of
church and state, and are not obstruc-
tors of that which rebounds to the
general good. Hence it behooves
each and every individual DESTROYS of
promoting their own interest, to be,
if possible, always conservative.

TORTURED BY HIS NEiGHBoRS,

Simon Dolph has filed petition
for 500 900 damages against twelve

like an Indian. He was then pulled
with the rope around his neck over
stones and bushes, and marched to
the village OF Rome. There bonfire
was built, around which the men
forced him to march to music. The
inhabitants of the village turned out
to see the sight, but no effort was
made to rescue the tortured man.
He was punched with sticks, kicked,
and terribly treated He appealed
10 a Justice OF the Peace and a CON
stable for help, but they said they
could do nothing. The ten men
marched him around town, and then,
each giving him parting kick, start

gang told him to leave town within
ten days or they would kill him and

Among the stories told of the late
DIR. kemper of Nashota, Wis, is this:
One day he asked divinity student
home to dine with him, adding that
there might not be much to eat.
When they were seated at the table
the Doctor at once began to carve at
a boiled ham that showed evidence
Of having seen considerable service.
"Why, my dear" exclaimed his wife,
"you have forgotten something. You
have not asked the blessing" "Ics,
| have, too bluhly responded the
Doctor; I've asked the Lord to bless

TnE DIET OF STRONG Men The
Roman soldiers, who built such won
deriul roads and carried a weight OF
armor aud luggage that would crush
the average farm hand, lived Oh
coarse brown bread and sour wine.
They were temperate III diet, and
regular and constant in exercise. The
Spanish peasant works every day and
dances half the night, yet eats only
his black bread, onion and watermel-
on. The Smyrna porter eats only a
little fruit ond some olives, yet he
walks Off with his load of 800 pounds.
The coolie, fed on rice, is more active
and can endure more than the negro
fed on fat meat The heavy work OF
the world is not done by men who
eat the greatest quantity. Modera
ton in diet seems to be the prerequi-
site Of endurance.
