In our Judgment of men we are to be-
ware of giving any great Importance to
occasional acts. By acts OF occasional
generosity weak men endeayor to re-
deem themselves in their own estima-
ton, vain men to exalt themselves in
that of mankind. 1t may be observed
that there are no men more worthless
and selfish, in the general tenor of their
lives, than some who, from time to
time, perform feats of generosity.
Sentimental selfishness will commonly
vary its indulgences in this way, and
vainglorious selfishness will break out
into acts of munifcence. But self-gov-
eminent and self-deniAl are not to be
relied upon for real strength, except in
so far as they are found to be exercised
in detail IN. Y. Ledger.

Wilmington Review: It is in
order for the legislature to stop
| this business Of making the
raileoad companies a present Of
La certain amount of convict
labor. The thing has gone far
enough. Put a ball and chain
on it so that it can't get out of
sight. There is no more reason
why q railroad should be given
convicts to work its line than
that the same gentlemen in
striped suits should be sent
down here to turn our cylinder
press. The railroad company
that can't pay its a$Anow a
days had best stay at home.
Raleigh Intelligencer: On the
18th Of July last when Congress
passed the present silver law,
the price Of silver bullion adj
vanced to $l,l5 and $l,20, and
hisadvance Immediately caused
the price Of wheat to 20 up to
$1.06 a bushel in Chicago, and
the price of cotton To ii cents q
pound. It thus appears that
whatever tends to increase the
value Of silver, increases the
price Of the two staple agricul-
tural products named, and vice
versa. The facts are before us
TO prove the principle, for when
silver declined to 81 an ounce,
the price Of wheat declined from
Is to Is cents q bushel, and that
Of cotton II to AGENTS per pound.
Wilmington Messenger: The
Senate by a good majority adopt
ed q free coinage silver bill,
pure and simple. We hope If it
becomes q law that it will do all

It viii do. Surely more currency
isneeded, and q double standard
at that. But the dollar ought
TO be a dollar or harm in the end

day, il is q very important
measure, and no one may dog
matiEe about 1t. The friends Of
the measure may be right, and
il may be otherwise. A year OF

will throw great light upon its
utility or failure. We trust thai
