Josh Billings Philosophy.

Fortune sumtimes shows us the way,
but it IL energy that achieves suckcess.
The richest man in the world IL the
one who dispizes riches the most.
Trusting to luck iz only another name
for trusting to lazyness.
Fortune never takes emmy boldly by
the hand, but she often allows them to
take her by the hand.
Avarice and lazyness make the most
disgusting kind ov mixtur.
Two-thirds ov what IL called love IL
nothing but Jealousy.
Sekrets are like the meazles-they
take eazy and spread eazy.
The eaziest thing for our friends to
diskover in US, and the hardest thing
for us to diskover in ourselfs, il that we
are growing old.
we sumtimes hit a thing right the
fust blow, but most always suckcess
liz the result ov menny failures.
The heart rules the he'd, bekause the
pashuns rule the Judgment.
Advice IL like kissing-it doesn't kost
nuthing, and IL pleazant thing to do.
One Ov the most diffikult, and at the
same time one ov the most necessary.
things for us old phellows to know IL
that we amt ov so mutch ackount now
az we waZ.
Don't mistake dounkast eye for
modesty; dounkast eyes are. often on
the lookout sideways.
1t IL one thing tew take the chances.
and quite another thing tew find them.
IT IL not the whole ov our duty tew
folier the examples ov good men, but
tew leave behind us sum decent tracks
for Others tew foller.
Rumor is spark at filst, then fire,
then confiagrashun, and then ashes.
The wust enemy that man kan hav
Is tiattery; 1t IL wuss than abuse. Il IL
better tew be knocked endways by a
foe than tew be blowed up sideways
with the quill Of a windy friend.-New

How often do we hear the words
"hayseed," "hoodoo," and "cornfield
sailor' used by persons in referring to
the farmer. Humorous papers have
depicted the fuzzy-looking old schooner
with chin whiskers and carpet bag un-
til tits no longer funny, and writers
have dwelt on the imaginary dialect
and customs of the Country jake" all
tending to make him the butt of ridi-
cule. Town boys who by their conduct
show themselves deserving of the title
of "hoodoo," or any term that will
most clearly portray an illmannered
vulgarian, often make light of the far
mer. And why should he be the target
for so much unpleasant raillery? Ger
tainly tilling the soil-the primative
vocation of man, on which the prosper
ity of the world Is founded. is not to
be referred to lightly. Though the
pumpkin husker" wear hat several
years out of date, it may cover an in
tellect much larger than that meath
silk tile; and though his overalls be
patched, they may enclose leg that,
during his communion with nature,
has grown strong-a leg that when in
cited to action by provoking words oft
proves disastrous to the tailor made
pants of the town smart aleck. Some
of the smartest men in the country are
engaged in farming, or come from the
farm Err

THE NORTHWEST
THE LONDON TIMES,
Expresses Regret That It has Maligned
ParnelI, Egan, Davitt and O'Kelly
The News Hurls Bitter Invec-
tive on the Times.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Times to-day
in its leading editorial, quotes in full
the apology rendered by the attorney.
general before the Parnell commission
for the publication of the forged letters
and continues:
1--WE desire to endorse as appropriate
every word of the foregoing statement.
1t is our wish as it is our duty to do so.
Moreover, Mr.. Parnell having in the
witness box stated that the letters are
forgeries, we accept in every respect the
truth of that statement. In these cir
cumstances we deem 1t right to express
our regret, most fully and sincerely, at
having been induced to publish the let
ters as Mr.. Parnell's or to use them as
evidence against him. This expression
Ofregret includes also the letters falsely
attributed to Mr.. Egan, Mr.. Davill and
Mr.. O'Kelly.
ut is scarcely fitting now to enter
into the circumstances under which we
received and published them. We are
bound, however, to point out that
Pigott was not the person with whom
we communicated. Moreover, we must
add that we firmly believed that the
letters were genuine until the disclos-
ures made by Pigott on cross-eXamina-
alton. 1t must be evident to all rea-
sonable persons that IL a conspiracy ex-
isted, the Times was victimized by, and
not a party to, it. Errors in judgment
may have been committed, and for
them the penalty must be paid. II
must be clearly understood that what
we have done is altogether upon our
own responsibility and in the public
interest alone. This withdrawal, of
course, refers exclusively to the letters
obtained from Pigott."
DISMAL DEPTH OF INFAMY.
The Daily Ne'Cs says:
1.-THE Times tried to destroy Parnell.
Parnell has destroyed the Times Never
again shall any man who respects him
self read its base accusations without
a smile of languid disgust. The Times
is no representative of the English
press. We do not hesitate to say that
no other English paper would have
been capable of engaging in the abom-
Unable traffic which has led the Times to
such dismal depth of infamy."
wEBsTER's so-CALLED APOLOGY.
The Ne,os says: "If anything could
add to the degradation of the Times
avowal it would be the terms in which
Sir Richard Webster made his so-caled
apology. For the credit of the bar Sir
Richard ought to have refused to con-
meet himself with such an ignoble COM
position. If the bar cannot express its
opinion of such behavior, parliament
must be invited to do so promptly"
A majority of the European newspa-
pers comment on the case mainly as
affecting the position of the Times.
GERMAN AND AUSTRIAN COMMENTS.
LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The German and
Austrian newspapers are teeming with
comments on the Pigott case. The ex-
posure of the forgeries is the sole topic
of conversation everywhere.
In the event of the commission max
ingan interim report on the forged let
