JOSH BILLINGs' PHILOSOPHY.

PhoOls are alwus a-wishing for sumthing.
If it liz really blessing tew die it must hav
been curse to be born.
He who will fatter another will rob him if
he gifts good chance.
Envy il just az natral tew the heart ov man
az blood is tew hiz boldly.
A wize man never dispairs when hope givs
out; then Gums resignashun.
The best way i kno ov tew repent of emmy
thing il tew do better next time.
Fashion alwuz lowers a CRATE man, but
sumtimes elevates little one.
About the best thing that extreme old age
kan do for us il tew make death a relief.
When doktor looks me square in the face
and kant see no money in me, then l am
happy.
Thare il nothing more bekuming to emmy
man than humility, yet it il about the last
thing he thinks ov.
The meanest kind ov 1oafer il he who il
willing to be abuzed by every one for the
privilege ov abuzing Others
The highest rate of interest that we pay IL
on borrowed trouble. Things that are alwuz
a gong tew happen never do happen.
Fear and courage both seemcon -tew.bee
stitutional for we often see the ignorant the
most courageous, and the most wize the most
timid.
Too mutch reading and tew little thinking
has the same effekt on mans mind that.
tew mulch eating and too little exercize haz.
on lliz body. i
We kant have better evidence ov the PER-
versity of human natur than the fakt that W; /
arrive at wisdom thru our adversely instead
ov thru our reazOn. 1
Thare might possibly be sum advantage In
entering conventif we could eskape from
ourselfs; but go WHARF we will we have tewi
keep company with one who IL able tew do
us more hurt than emmy boldly else. II !,

sTOLEN FRUITS.

Office differs from death. 1t seldom
seeks shining mark.
Faults are the only ornaments we can
see in those we dislike. /
Owning up to mistake is great,
help towards finally forgetting it. .
The politician will go ten times fur
ther to remove an enemy than to serve
a friend.
Marriage is generally a prompt and
safe cure for inordinate self esteem on
the part of man.
1t is said of All inveterate gambler
that OIL the day of judgment he would
''play the last trump"
Grit makes the man, and want of it
the chump; them who win lay hold,
hang on and hump.
Bad luck will not long pursue the man
who does not trust it, but buckles down
to work on his own account.
Respect your fathers counsels sage
For he received them at your age;
And if he holds by them to-day,
IT'S cause he's tried the other way.

A TARIFF "REMINISCENCES.

Some OF the wool growers want an
extra session of congress in October in
order to secure an increase of tariff on
certain grades of foreign wool. They
insist that this is what they voted for
last year and what they need for a
profitable industry. But the manufact-
urers of wool say they are nearly
ruined now by the increased cost of the
raw material over what their foreign
competitors have to pay. A great por-
ton of the mills are shut down already.
and it is insisted that a continuance of
the present policy will close out the
rest. We're it not for the cost of raw
material, they could go into the markets
of the world with their products. If
the mills are forced to close, where will
the grower find his market? A tariff
will not keep up the price of the prod
uct if there is small demand for it.

wALLsTREET MILLIONAIREs.

The millionaires down in Wall street
are getting established in their summer,
homes. and Saturday afternoon, or
more strictly Saturday noon, sees them
heading for the ferry house or the rail-
road depot just as though they were Or
binary everyday $2,500-a-year people.
Henry ClewS started for Newport by
the afternoon train on Saturday for the
first time this season, and Wash
Conner departed about o'clock for
Seabright, where his handsome summer
cottage is located. The Western Union
Telegraph company strings private
wires along the summer routes of these
milliOnaires, and puts an instrument
and telegraph operator wherever they
may stop at the other end. so that their
absence from Wall street, which often
continues until Tuesday morning, does
not disturb the situation of affairs III
the stock market, at least so far as the
milliOnalreS are concerned, in any way
whatever.
How many of these private wires are
run along the poles after the summer
season has opened it is impossible to
say. Usually there are three to Sara
toga, and Henry Clews has one to New
port. These cost about $1,000 each.
James r. Keene had the first private
wire run to Newport, and he paid So 900
for it, but now they come somewhat
cheaper. Wash ConnOr has pri-
vate wire to his place at Sea-
bright, and a number Of them go
down to Long Branch. The distance
to the resort being so much less than
the distance to Newport or Saratoga,
the cost to the Wall street operators is
proportionately diminished. The tele-
graph companies put in the private
wires to Long Branch at $500 or $500
each. None of the big operators pre-
tend that being at the other end of
private wire is nearly so good as being
on the ground, but it IS fairly salts
factory substitute. They miss the at
mosphere Of speculation and can't
get things out of the air as
they can in Wall street, and they don't
have the advantage which the stock
ticker affords of seeing the rapidity or
want Of rapidity with which the sales
follow each other, and of noting other
points which help them to an estimate
of the course of the market. A promi-
nent operator said the other day that
he would much rather stand by the
ticker in his Office than be on the floor
of the stock exchange if he wanted to
determine the exact temper of specula--
ton.

Bronson Howard, the dramatist, is

highest style of this kind of REPRODUCED

is greatly increased by short descrip-

Albert Wolff, the celebrated artist

competent to judge of them, says it is
one of the largest and finest galleries of
paintings ever sold at auction. Mr..
Secretan did not con6ne himself to any
one school or character of art. He
patrOnized all the masters, and as a
consequence has most remarkable col
