SUCCESS IN LIFE.
1T Can Only Be Achieved by Keeping the
Conscience Clear.

1t Can Only Be Achieved by Keeping the
Conscience Clear.
Whoever believes that knavery,
cruelty, hypocrisy or any other vice
can, under any circumstances, pro-
mote even the temporal happiness OF
him who practices it, is but a superb
cia1 observer and shallow reasoner.
In the worlds parlance, men who ac-
quire wealth and influence by unwar-
rantable means are called prosperous.
But what is prosperity in the true and
legitimate sense of the word? Webster
tells us: advance or gain in any thing
good" No man can be deemed truly
prosperous whose conscience is ill at
ease, and whoever enriches himself at
the expense of justice, duty and honor,
plunges his soul, even here, into state
of adversely which no indulgence OF
the senses, no adulation of time-servers
and parasites, nothing that money can
buy or power command, will etfectual-
ly or permanently relieve.
Another strong argument in favor of
doing right is, that out of every hun
dred men who seek wealth by dishon-
orable roads, ninety-nine come to pow
erty and shame. This is fact, and
taken in combination with the other
undeniable truth, that the small per-
centage of aspiring knaves who wiz
their game, feel in their souls that ii
has been dearly won at the sacrifice OF
inward peace and self-esteem, should
long ago have made all the world hon
est, on unselfish principles.
The retrospective review of disap
pointed scamp must be melancholy il
the extreme. He sees. of course. with
terrible distinctness, how each depart.
ure from rectitude helped to cloud his
life, sink him deeper in misery, and
ALLEVIATE him from the sympathies OF
the noble and the good. He is con.
scious of the besotted blindness which
led him to put his trust in cunning and
chicane, instead of choosing the path
of duty and leaving the consequences
to Providence, and is compelled to &C.
knowledge to himself that roguery is
the twin of folly, and pure life the
best evidence of sound brain as well
as of Christian spirit.
Be assured, therefore, that it is good
worldly policy to keep the conscience
clear 1t tends to comfort, content,
and produces real happiness; nor can
this fair earth, and the excellent
things with which it abounds, be thor
oughly enjoyed by any Croesus to
whose gold cling the curses of the
wronged. The closing scenes Of life
are, however, the grand test OF the
wisdom or folly which has shaped Its
course. Sir Walter SCOTS dying

Electric Coal-Mining Machine.

A new coal-mining company, which
has a patent for mining by electricity,
will establish plant at Philiipsburg,
Pa, for tbs mining of an area Of ten
miles. The plant, as whole. is to
consist of a central dynamo. conduct
ing wires, coal-cutting machine, cleo
trio lamps, and motor attachments
for hanging the mining cars. The in
ventors claim, as an advantage in favor
of the coal cutters, that single ma
chine will not weigh more than five
hundred pounds According to. esti-
mates, which. it is. claimed, are made
upon actual tests, the new device will
considerably reduce the expenses Of
mining, which has proved SO costly
with existing methods Of transmitting
and applying power by steam or conn
pressed air.-Bastoss Globe.

AN INDIAN WEDDING.
Description of the Marriage of the Maha-
rajah of Putlala.

Description of the Marriage of the Maha-
rajah of Putlala.
From early morning the windows
and balconies were filled, and the roads
were crowded with eager spectators.
At about half-past seven o'clock the
Maharaiah, seated on a moving throne
Ga beautiful vehicle, constructed for
the occasion, and drawn by two ele-
phants), proceeded towards Sanaur,
where the wedding was to take place
the same evening. President Sir Dewa
Singh rode alongside his Highness on
a splendid horse with rich trappings,
elephants, according to rank. The
cavalry and infantry, drawn up at
suitable places ON the road, presented
arms as the procession passed. The
Maharajah wore his rich wedding
dress, which was conspicuous not so
monds and other historical jewels, as
for the strings of pearls, called sehra,
hanging down from his turban, and
glittering in the sun. The scene was
an imposing one. What with the
booming of salute guns and
the beating of tomtoms, the noise was
deafening. The elephants with gold
and silver howdahs, horsemen and
state palanquins came in regular sue
cession, and were followed by regi-
mental band of pipers, who played on
their instruments music adapted for
the native ear. On the arrival of the
party at point about midway his
Highness was met by the people of
the brides yarty. After the presenta-
tions the Maharajah, mounted on a
gorgeously caparisoned elephant, and
accompanied by his chief Minister and
high officials, went on to Sanaur.
Here separate camps had been pre-
pared for the Maharajahs of Jhind,
Nabbha and Dholepore. At night
each camp was brilliantly illuminated.
At night the ceremony called phoras,
or the marching round the fire, was
performed at the temporary residence
of the bride. The guests were enter
tanned for three consecutive nights
and the Maharajah held a durbar in
honor of the occasion.-B0mbd Nesos.

COLUMBUS, O., June 29.-The Democrat
ic National notification committee, ap-
pointed at the ST. Louis Convention to Of
fic1ally notify Hon. Allen g. Thurman Of
his nomination for the Vice. Pre- sidency,
arrived here at nine O'Clock yesterday
morning by special train. There were
forty-one in the party, including several
members of the National committee. At
one O'Clock the committee, escorted by
a local committee, were driven to the
Judges residence and performed their
official duty. The committee was received
in the parlors of the Thurman residence.
Chairman Collins very briefly stated tn
object of the call, when Charles D.
Jacobs, mayor of Louisville, KY, read the
formal letter Of notification. 1t was
signed by all the members of the commit
tee. Addressing Judge Thurman, he said:
"You embrace the highest type Of
American citizenship, and no matter
what the crisis may be, the Government
would be safe in your hands,"
In reply, Judge Thurman thanked the
committee for their courtesy. He was
profoundly grateful for the nomination,
because it was unsought and undesired by

tinction, but he had ceased to be ambi-
tious for public honors. The country is
honestly governed, he said, and the inter-
ests of the country require Cleveland's
reelection, and the hope that he might
contribute to this result had its influence
in inducing him to accept.
Judge Thurman expressed himself as
being in favor of reducing taxation so
that surplus would not accumulate in
the treasury, which he believed to be a
great danger to the institutions of the
country. The judge was frequently APP
plauded.
An informal reception followed, in
which Mrs. Thurman participated.
The committee left for Washinton at
p. m.

DISTRICT CONVENTION.

At the convention held at Crookston
on Tuesday last, Charles L. Lewis of OF
ter Tail county, and Halvor STEVENSON
of Polk county, were chosen delegates to
the Chicago convention, and M. D. Tay-
lor OF Stearns county, and G. E. Tori
son of Grant county, alternates. While
there was the usual amount of conbin-
ing and log-rolling, yet the convention
was surprisingly free from bitterness.
The following resolutions were adopted:
We demand a readjustment of the tar
if and its reduction to the lowest possi-
bic point consistent with the develop
ment and preservation of American in
dustries and labor. We denounce the
unjust and partisan. action of the demo-
cratic congress in its effort to disfranchise
Dakota. We denounce the party in pow
er in endeavoring to pose before the peo-
pie as champions of reform, loud in pro-
testations, silent in positive enactments.
We turn confidently to the republican
party in congress for wise legislation,
believing that the national government
has the power to epact sufficient laws to
control trusts, to encompass corporate
power, to perfect interstate commercial
relations so that in connection with wise
adjustment of revenue duties the whole
land may be equally protected and
equally benefited by the law.
We heartily endorse the course of Hon.
Knute Nelson in confress in matters of
national policy, and we commend the
energy and distinguished ability with
which he has discharged his duties as
representative.
The following resolution was tabled:
The republicans of the Fifth district are
loyal to their party. They will follow
with unfagging energy the leadership of
the nominee at Chicago, but we would
not faithfully voice the sentiment of the
Fifth district republicans did we not
point with pride to the loyal service rem
dered to our country by that man who,
as soldier and judge, had known that
he possesses the nerve to do right, and
we therefore request our delegates to the
national convention to use all honor
able means consistent with their own
sound judgment to secure the nomination
as president of the United States of Wal
