A Kind of Man.

like man who all mean things despses,
man who has purpose firm and true;
Who faces every doubt as it arises,
And murmurs not at what he finds to do.
/ like man who shows the noble spirit
Displayed by knights of Arthur's table round;
Who face to face with life proves his real merit
Who has soul that dwells above the ground;
And yet one who can understand the worry
Of some chance brother fallen in the road,
And speak to him kind word mid the hurry
Or lay easing hand upon his load.
Large-hearted brave-souled men to-day are needed
Men ready when occasions doors swing wide;
Grand men to speak the counsel that is Needed
And men in whom a nation may confde.
The world is wide, and broad its starry arches,
But tagging malcont ,nts it cannot hold;
The way Of life TO him who upright marches
Has ending in far. off street of gold.

Useful Hints to Contributors.
Boston Traveller.


If an article is sent for which pay is desired it
should be distinctly stated otherwise there is no
recognized obligation to pay for it. The formula
should be brief and to the point. ''The inclosed
is at your service at your usual rates" if the au
thor does not fix his own price Or the inclosed
is at your service for S. or $50, as the case may
be- Or. again, THE article is contributed
grats;" or still another, which every honorable
newspaper equally recognizes, THE article is at
your service, and should be glad of pay if it is
worth it, and if it is not should at all events be
glad to see it published"
Now. such request as this is duly weighed
and payment will most certainly be made if the
contribution is up to the standard of paid
articles. The latter form used by young and
untried writer implies very nice discrimination
and judgment 1t implies that the writer ap-
preciates the value of public to come before
A newspaper that offers an audience of from 3d.,
900 to $50, 600 people to speak to- offers a great
vantage ground to an inexperienced and aspir-
ing writer. 1t is the open square in whose light
he may test his real power. The saying that
whatever is worth printing is worth paying
for" is by no means universally true. There
may be many things to which, if the editor gives
space and the advantage of an audience, he
renders a full equivalent.

this season has reported find of this sort. and
that is the schooner Antarctic. of Provincetown,

that she killed in SAM bay, West Indies, last
April, yielded thirty pounds of ambergris, and it
has just arrived home. 1t is worth nearly

said by Mr. G. E. Marvin, the talented young
designer and engraver who is at the head of the
show printing department. of the Hasselman
Printing Company. He was bent over big
pine block, deity driving a craving tool along
the lines of the watercolor drawing, and his
face took on an aspect of melancholy at the
possible thought of the public's lack of appre-
citation of art, as he added somewhat ironically:
Some of em think all that is neces
sary to produce good picture is to
take board and hew out the
engraving with an axe. Take one of these big
sixteen-sheet stands, for instance. A casual OBJ
server of affairs is hardly capable Of appre
ciating the amount of labor that has to be ex-
pended to produce it, or the intricaces of the
methods employed in the various stages of its de-

out has to have thorough knowledge of mis- par
ticular part of the business. We get the blocks,
which are of the best quality of well-seasoned
pine, dressed down until they perfectly
smooth and exactly type-high. This latter feat
ure is important. as the difference of the thick
ness of a sheet of fine writing-paper would show
a defect in the printed form when the picture
comes from the press. These boards are exactly
the size of standard poster paper-2Sx42 inches,

of these. But Grant made no revelation of his

there was no discussion of policy; about that

Sized Him Up.

This is a story which the Rev. DR..
Rush, Secretary of the Freedmen's Aid
Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, tells to the annual conference,
before whom he presents the claims of
his society. A young negro in the
South had been converted and at once
wanted to preach. His elders thought he
was not fitted for the important work;
but he well-nigh staggered them by re-
lating a vision, in which he had plainly
seen the letters &c. PC" which could
mean only go preach Christ" A
white haired negro preacher slowly
arose and told the ambitious young
brother that while he had, no doubt,
seen the letters in a vision, he had
failed in the Interpretation. They prob
ably meant: $50 pick cotton" or go
plant corn" This settled the matter.
A preacher in the New York Confer
ence, when the story was told few
days ago, remarked to friend sitting
near II wish we had men in our white
conferences sharp enough to explain
away as satisfactorily the arguments
by which our young incompetents try
to convince the committee that they
have been called to preach the gospel. J"

Various styles of Wearing Apparel I'm
Which Legislators Appear.

Various styles of Wearing Apparel I'm
which Legislators Appear.
Senator Ingalls, is one of the best
dressed men in the Senate, says Carp,
in the Cleveland Leader. He wears
good clothes, and has Broadway tail
or. His cuffs are of the whitest, and
his hair is never awry. Hoar, who sits
next to him, dresses in business clothes,
a cutaway coat, and he keeps his watch
in the side pocket of his vest, fastened
by chain, which commences at its top
button and falls down in graceful curl
upon his capacious abdomen. Senator
hoar always has his keys in his hands,
swings them about, or fingers them as
he talks or thinks.
John Sherman wears a blue-black
broadcloth, with a rather high standing
collar, open at the front. This collar is
bound with wide black necktie, and
the vest is cut rather low, so as to show
the whitest and the finest of linen.
Senator Teller dresses in black, and
combs his hair without a part, la
pompadour. Cullom wears business
clothes and boots. Don Cameron affects
a dark coat and light pantaloons, and
Wade Hampton has q rough suit of
business clothes. Senator Vance wears
a derby hat, Cockrell SLOUGH, and
Evarts plug.
Evarts' clothes hang upon him like
those of Il scarecrow. They are several
sizes too large for him, and when he
sits in his chair upon his spine-.his
favorite position-the wrinkles in them
look like the corrugations of wash
board. He wears big, white, I'M
starched standing collar, which curls
around his thick necktie of soft black
silk like roll; and his shirt bosom,
like the snow in color, is very full, and
punches itself up outside of his vest.
Chace, the Quaker Senator, wears
fancy black clothes of Quaker cut.
There is little, if any, collar to the coat,
but the lapel at the front is faced with
velvet. He has standing collar and a
black tie.
Malone is the queerest-dressed man
in the Senate. His one hundred
pounds of skin and bone are bound
round with clothes which make him
look like fashion plate of fifty years
ago, settled and materialized His
long black frock coat is cut in the shape
of two inverted bells, with big chest,
n little waist, and the SIX rts below
these full, like those of a woman. He
wears the finest linen of old Ire and,
and his little hands are bound at the
wrists with rufed sleeves which almost
turn back over the back of his coat. His
vest is always open at the waist, and at
times he leaves it entirely unbuttoned.
He wears gold spectacles, has long
gold watch chain, and his collar is bound
by white tie.

smoking incense, and Zaghareet, and
the unintelligible mutterings of many
priests.
The bridegroom, clad in an immense
white silk cloak, embroidered with silk
and gold, sat waiting in one of two pa

perfect storm of music and confusion
door opened, and the bride, her face
still yelled, entered and took the chair
beside the bridegroom.
There were four priests to officiate in
this novel marriage, three of whom
were blind; these muttered Coptic
prayers and filled the air with incense,
while the priest whose eyes were per-

their heads together, and at last plac-

Whose plating had worn away,
Showing the brass beneath it,
Bereft of the bright disguise
Which il falsely wore when, years before,
IL had formed my boyish prize.

And beautiful silver medal

And my striving hard for that bright reward

And mine the glittering prize.

Before we expend our strength,

That we hope to attain at length.

of twenty acres, comprising several
