PITH AND POINT.

The man who keeps his own cOun-
sci does not often have to hire law
yer.
If you do not censure till you have
heard both sides, you will have much
less to regret, and your opinion will
be worth more.
The hospitality of some people
has no roof to it. Fen people will give
you dinner for one who will offer you
bed and breakfast. George Mac
Donald.
Events are often like chestnut
burrs. If you give them little frost,
the burrs will open and show the in
side to be great deal better than the
outside.-Beecher.
A man who requires two columns
of a newspaper in which to decline a
prospective nomination to Office will
evidently not refuse to listen to argu-
ment. Indianapolis Journal.
Such is the infatuation of self-love,
that, though in the general doctrine OF
the vanity of the world all men agree,
yet almost every one iatters himself
that his own case is to be an exception
from the common rule.-BtGtr.
"A fiippant, frivolous man may rid
icule others, may controvert them,
'corn them; but he who has any re-
;p2ct for himself seems to have re-
bounced the right of thinking meanly
Of others. - Goethe.

INMAN'S SUCCESS.
How the President of the Georgia Central
Railroad Made His Fortune.

Railroad Made His Fortune.
The purchase of the Georgia Central
railroad by John Inman, president Of
the Richmond Terminal Company,
brings that gentleman quite promi-
nently into public notice. When the
rebellion broke out the three Inman
brothers-John, Samuel and Hugh en-
tered the Confederate army as privates,
and when they left the ranks at the end
of the war they were without capital or
resources. At their wrecked and DESC
lated home in Georgia they bade each
other goodbye and started out to make
their way in the world. John Inman
came here to New York with scarcely
$40 in his possession, and for time
his life was very hard and unpromis-
ing one.
He worked as clerk in a brokers'
Office, and plodded along for couple of
years, saving lit lie from his scanty
salary. Finally he got into business in
a small way for himself, and to-day he
is in possession of a fortune estimated at
from SO, 900, 900 to So, 100000 The two
other brothers were equally successful
Samuel, who began work in Augusta,
finally, after ups and downs in business,
settled in Atlanta, where he is to-day
one of the wealthiest and most respect
ed citizens Hugh is also a resident
of Atlanta, and is considered to-day the
richest man in the State of Georgia.
The Inmans are among the most gen.
erous and beloved of the men who have
done SO much to build up the new
South and vitalize its great amp grow
ing resources. T. Graphic.

most respectable tradesman of the

slumbers by the train stopping at a
station, alighted in the belief that he
had reached his destination. On dis
covering his error he attempted to
regain the train, but was too late.
Not to be done, however, he tore along
the line after the train and succeeded
in reaching it and, jumping on the
foot-board, wrenched open the first
door to hand and-found himself in the
presence of King Oscar and his suite,
who were slumbering peacefully.
The unhappy man, seeing the gilt
tering uniforms hanging about the
dimly lighted car, guessed at once
where he was and was on the point of
beating retreat in sheer despair,
when suddenly his Majesty
awoke and, seeing stranger in
the car, shouted Justify to his
companions, ''Brigands!" and pOunced
upon the unlucky individual, followed
by the Swedish Ambassador and
equerry and, Selling him, began to feel
for arms His hand touching some
thing hard, his Majesty shouted,
Here is a trabuccar' and drew from
the intruder's pocket long-necked
flask filled with manzanilla. Mean
while the train had stopped and, the
officials arriving upon the scene, the
man was questioned and, having at
last recovered from his terror at strug-

and, after profuse apologies on both
sides, returned to his own car, When
