WIT AND WISDOM.

Fortunes are made by taking oppor-
tunities character is made by making
them.
No man can answer for his own
valor Or courage till he has been in
danger.-Rochetoucauld.
Great men begin enterprises because
they think them great, and fools be-
cause they think them easy.
We judge ourselves by what we feel
capable of doing, while others Judge us
by what we have already done.-Long-
felzosc.
The time has been misapplied, de-
voted to mere self-indulgence, to the
qualification of unworthy appetites, is
lost, and time lost is not lived.-Jo}t,s
B. Cough.
What unthankfulness it is to forget
our consultations and to look upon mat
ters Of grievances; to think SO much
upon two or three crosses as to forget a
hundred blessings.
An extravagant man, who has
nothing else to recommend him but a
false generosity, Is often more beloved
than person OF much more finished
character, who is defective in this par
ticular.-Atldisoaa.
Fear, above all things else, en-
feebles the vigor of mans actions, sup
plants decision by vacillation, and
opens the road to error. When one
seeks counsel OF ones fears judgment
ceases to obtrude advice.
Duty is the power which rises with
us in the morning, and goes to rest with
us at night. It is eo-extensive with the
action of our intelligence 1t is the
shadow which cleaves to us, go where
we will, and which only leaves us when
we leave the light of life.
True felicity does not consist in
possessing the frail favors of fortune,
but in knowledge and practice of wis
dom. The cultivation of various man
ners is necessarily attended with pleas
ure as well as profit; the honest man
alone is happy, and it is very absurd to
separate things which are in their ma
ture so closely united as virtue and in
terest.-S0crates.
-Bowing, ceromonious formal COM
pliments, stiff civilities, will never be
politeness; that must be natural, un-
studied, manly, noble. And what will
give this, but a mind benevolent, and
perpetually attentive to exert that amia-
BILE disposition in trifles towards all you
converse and live with? Beaevolence
In greater matters takes a higher name,
and is the queen of virtues.-Ea7l Of
Chatham.
To be at work, to do things for the
world, to turn the currents of the
things about us at our will, to make
our existence a positive element, even
though it be no bigger than grain of
sand, in this great system where we
live-that is a new joy OF which the
idle man knows no more than the mole
knows Of the sunshine, or the serpent
of the eagles triumphant fight into the
upper air. The man who knows indeed
what it is to act, to work, cries out;
This, this alone, Is to uvel"--Paillips
BrooEs.

NATURALIZATION FRAUDS,

Citizens Being Made to Order I'm the ST

| Officers on the Lookout for Frauds-t
Specimen Case Wherein Some OF TIN
Fine Work is Indicated.
ST. LOUIS, Sept 29.-During the pas
week twenty-five hundred persons Wer
naturalised in the Court OF Criminal Cor,
rect1on. This morning there were 14t
applican ts awaiting the attention of tn,
court Within a fortnight nearly -four
thousand persons have been made citi
zens. This is an astonishing showing
exceeding anything within the recollec.
| ton of Deputy Clerk Fitzgerald, who has
been connected with the Court of Grim
| inal Correction for many years. The
fact that the other courts were not in
session has sent all applicants to the
Court of Criminal Correction, but the
| number of applications heard here ex-
ceeds the total number made in all other
Federal and State courts in any one cam
paign year heretofore.
There is no donbt that fraud is being
practiced on the courts and that many
persons are being prepared for registra-
ton who are not eutitled to vote. On
yesterday a man approached one Of the
tSSioVCI4 lug C1ClhS bt ELo ol1CS Ol Gu6
Recorder of Voters and presented his
second papers for registration. His
name was William Broese, native of
Germany. He presented the second
papers, which read as follows: y =
''and applies to be admitted citizen of
the United States and proves to the satis-
faction Of the court that he has resided
in the United States at least five years,
and in the State of Missouri at least one
year, Immediately preceding this appli-
cation, during which time he has con.
Quoted himself as man of good moral
character" etc.
Before placing the name ON the regis.
tration list the clerk asked:
aHoW long have you lived in this
State?"
The man promptly replied, "seven
months"
He was then questioned more closely,
and showed that he had unwittingly taken
out papers to which he was not entitled.
He had not filled the requirement of res
dence in the State one year, but said
that in making the application he did not
know that was necessary. He had not
heard all the answers and questions in
terehanged between the court and
the acquaintance who vouched for his
qualifications. As he was, according
to his own statement. not entitled TO the
papers, the recorder refused to place his
name on the registration lists. The pa
pers were left with the recorder, who
said: From the investigation I have
made so far, am convinced that this
man was innocent OF any intention to do
wrong. would like very well to find out
how he came to make that application,
the identity of the witness who proved

A Stormy and Eventful voyage

QUEEN sTowN, Sept 2s-The Inman
Line steamship City of New York arrived
here to-day after voyage of seven days
and twenty three hours. Her circulating
pumps were defective, and she was able
to use only the starboard engine. For
four days the steamer met with contin-
nous gales, during which two
passengers were thrown to the
deck and sustained broken ribs. During
the tumult occasioned by the storms the
passengers were greatly frightened. One
passenger became insane and grew so
violent that the officers were forced to
put him in straight jacket.

>-Somebody has published the state
ment in Philadelphia that If one wished
to have good luck in the daily transac-
tions of life all that was necessary was
to watch the first humpback man or
woman who chanced to pass down the
street and touch him Or her upon the
hump. At first this idea was confined
to the theatrical profession, the men,
bers of which are notoriously supersti-
tious. Lately, however, the craze has
spread. Women, as we'll as men, have
taken up the idea, and the life of con-
servative humpback in Philadelphia is
far from desirable.
