Value of Life Like Hancock's.

From the Chicago News.
In all the eulOgies that have followed
General Hancock's death, the central
quality of his character has been recOg-
RiZed as true and unswerVing manliness.
In this respect he was and is an exam
pie and model to all Americans As
General Sherman said at the reunion of
OF the Loyal Legion in Cincinnati, We'd
nesday night "You and |, each and
every one of us, are the better for the
life which this man lived. Our country
is better for it. Our boys in school are
the better for it, You, yourself, refer
ring to ex-president Hayes can point
to this man who, born Of humble par
ents, reared at the common schools,
went into life with very little help, and
rose by being true, honest, and brave
man and soldier. beloved by everybody
mourned by everybody" Such q life
was indeed worth living. There were
two points in General Hancock's career
emphasized by the speakers at the same
reunion which should not be allowed to
pass without especial recognition. All
familiar with the inside history Of the
war remember how union success was
ever checked, contracted and neutralized
by the wrangles and personal ambitions
OF many of the leading generals. The
rule with many of them appeared to be
success under me or discontinue under
a rival. How dearly this dog-in-the-
manger spirit Of our generals cost the
country no one can tell; but it bore more
heavily on Lincoln than any other
feature of the struggle, and the
North often grew disheartened while
its generals wrangled over their
petty differences. General Hancock
never Joined in these; As EXPIRES
ident Hayes said: without undue am
his way to fame by splendid conduct In
an unparalleled series of battles, the con-
fldence of brother officers and soldiers
outrunning his advances in rank and
applauding every step he gained in pro-
motion. When jealousies and intrigue
were rife in the great army to which he
belonged neither his devotion to the
flag nor his jealous subordination to his
commander was ever questioned. He
burned only to do and dare greatly for
his country" Perhaps some might say
that the desire for that glory to be won
doing his whole duty under the eyes
Of his countrymen was the inspiring
influence of the superb soldier in
the battles of the rebellion. But
General Sherman has presented q view
OF General Hancock that excludes such
a thought. 81 knew Hancock on the
plains" says old Tecumseb, "where
there was no chance for glory, no hope
of fame, no desire to attract notice,
nothing but abuse and hardship. He
was the same conscientious man, anx-
ious to do right, anxious to fulfill the
orders Of his government, anxious to
complete job after which he had been
dispatched, and generally successful"
In the one leading principle Of Gen.
eral Hancock's conduct, the anxiety to
do right, lies the secret Of the success OF
his manhood. In it lies the best lesson
of his brave and brilliant life.

How 10 Advertise.

A contemporary in some "hints on sd-
vertising," says: "Another thing which
publishers have to contend with is that
the results Of advertising are not always
visible to patrons, many Of whom can
not understand why custom cannot be
directly traced to the source where they
expended their money to obtain it,.
Business is like river with many trib-
utsries, and In which it is impossible to
trace every individual drop OF water to
the spring from whence it came. But
II a journal Is selected for advertising
purposes that reaches time and again
the persons most likely to be interested
in the solicitation, that paper is certain.
ly a sure fountain-head of profitable
trade in the stream of patronage far be-
low. Temporary advertisements in a
small way will not produce an imme-
diste or permanent increase of business
any more than light shower will affect
the depth OF water in well, but by per-
sistency in the use of printers ink In the
right direction the results sought will
be gained In the end with interest"

SAN FRANCISCO, February 2.-rhe AS
sOclated Press representative called at
the office of the Chinese Consul General
to ascertain the origin of the published
report that he had issued proclama-

emphatically denied that any such pro-
clamatiOn had been issued. lie stated
that the Chinese Consul had made ar
rangements with steamship companies
to carry poor, sick and unemployed Chi

rates. Notices containing this were
sent out, requesting Chinese to take ad-
vantage of these cheap rates, and these
facts probably gave rise to the first mem

Galveston Tribune: When carrying

be fewer fatal brawls in Texas. As mat

The Pencil Meeting.

We learned last night that about 20C
people assembled at Peniel yesterday to
meet the candidates for the county of
fees, and that there was a great deal OF
quiet enthusiasm manifested for the
Democratic ticket. y number of the side
show candidates were also present, and
the speaking is reported as good, and en-
ioyed by those present.
The good Democratic ladies, however,
came in for the largest share OF praise
for the very elegant and sumptuous din
ner which they had prepared for the oc-
casion. There was everything good 20
eat, and Democratic stomachs know just
how to appreciate such things, so it was
partaken of with right good will, and ali
felt happy and were glad that they had
lived to see the day-and the dinner.
