THE REWARD OF uERIT.

If you live a noble life you may not make
much money. You probably will not.
You may not have much fame. Virtue ia
its own reward. But if you want both
money and fame be successful prize
fighter. We know of no more speedy or
sure way to wealth and renown than to bs
great "knocker- out" Lord Byron wrote
morning to find himself famous. The
Hon. Jim Corbett hit "Sully" an effective
"tump in der neck" and he was famous
before he went to bed. 1t is encouraging
to those who are trying, on small salaries,
to elevate their fellow men to notice what
reward a man can get for knocking down
his fellow men. Sullivan has learned"
about million dollars. This is a great
sum, though it may be mentioned that he
left New Orleans the other day with only
forty cents in his pocket. Corbett got
about $45, 900 for his work in New Orleans,
but that is nothing to what he will
get if he keeps sober and attends
to business. Just look at some of the Of
fers he has received: $4,000 for a weeks
engagement in California; $4,000 for a
weeks engagement at Chicago; So, 900 for a
week at New York; $4,000 for week in
Brooklyn; $4,000 for week in Phila-
delphia; $4,000 for a week in Baltimore;
$4,000 for a week in Boston; $4,000 to
stand for statue in Chicago; 81, 900 from
New Haven, Hartford ard half a dozen
other places; also fifty per cent. of all the
profits if he would allow his name to be
used for a saloon at Chicago during the
worlds fair, and similar offer from a
saloon On Broadway, New York. And
they are seriously talking in California of
sending him to congress.
Toll on, dear brothers and sisters who
are not prizefghters.

A NOTABLE CONVERT.

Colonel Noah Plympton has been pow
er in Massachusetts, politics. He was Gen
eral Buffers chief adviser and manager in
political matters for many years, and the
Republicans of Massachusetts, have learned
to respect and fear his skill and sagacity.
But they will not have to look out for him
this year, for be is going to vote for Har-
rison. And the chief reason he gives for
his conversion is worth the attention of
all interested in the situation. He is not
going to vote the Democratic ticket this
fall because he is Democrat of the school
of Jefferson and jackson, and the Dem
ocratic national convention this year has
put the party on the platform of Calhoun
aud jeff. Davis. In 1882 General Jackson
was elected president on the platform that
the tariff should be 60 fixed as TO raise only
enough money for the needs of the govern
ment, but should be so srranged at the
same time as to help and not hurt our
American industries. Calhoun and the
South Carolinisns took the ground that
there should not be any protection to
American industries, and that they would
90 out of the Union if there was. General
Jackson Get his heel on that and killed it.
The next time it came up was in the con-
stitutional convention of the Confederate
states at Montgomery, Alabama, in 1861,
where they adopted constitution provid-
ing that there should not be any
protection. Now the Democratic ma
tional convention has adopted a
platform denouncing all protection.
"The tariff plank reported by the ma
jority of the committee on resolutions was
a satisfactory one; it approved of enough
protection to make up for the difference in
wages between this and European coun-
tries and also to compensate for the differ
ence in interest between the United States
and other countries. And this plank was
rejected and a plank adopted which denies
the right of protection altogether and al
most repeats in effect, if not word for
word, the Confederate constitution.
When the Democratic party takes that
ground have no use for the Democratic
party"
l. Colonel Plympton is never afraid to say
what he thinks, and he has large follow
ing in Massachusetts, who will pay careful
attention to what he says.

A scotch Minister Tells of Unusual
Happenings i'm His Experience.
From the Glasgow HerAld.l
I have observed that marriage, especial
ly among the working classes, is greatly
affected by the state of trade. When
trade is good marrisges increase, and are
less frequent in times of commercial de-
preston. This fact indicates that the TO-
nance Of life among Glass who are gene
rally regarded as reckless in the matter of
marriage is after all restrained by dictates
of common prudence. During the Lancs-
shire cotton famine, early in the sixties,
had a church in Dundee. The failure Of
cotton occssioned an abnormal boom in
the jute trade, and Dundee wss the prin-
cipal emporium for the import and manu-
facture of the flexible fibre. 1t was then
that that town laid the foundation of its
wealth and greatness. In those prosper
Gus times marriages were frequent, and in
the courss OF a few years l united in the
sacred bonds of ma'rimony a greater num-
Der of young couples than in any similar
period during my ministerial career. A
favorite fancy of the mill workers was to
be married at the mause, and was often
amused at their lavish expenditure and
love of display.
One evening had arranged TO marry a
couple at ths manse, and at the time an
elderly friend, recently retired from a suo-
eessful business, was staying with me, and
wished to see the ceremony. Three cabs
drove up to the entrance gate, and my
room was Immediately filled with half q
dozen couples, who constituted tho bridal

suits, white kid gloves, buttonhole flow
ers. with ample display of linen and jew
elry. The ladies were dressed in white
muslin trimmed with lace, and dected
with flowers and coronsts of glitteriug
beads. 1t was indeed a gay and showy
scene My friend leaned back in an arm
chair In a corner of the room, with his
big fingers dovetailed into each other ly-
ing across his capscious wsistcoat, and,
transfxed with simple astonishment, gszed
through his spectsclss, that seemed to sur
round his eyes with phosphorescent cir
cles. When the ceremony was over and
the party had retired my guest pnshed his
spectacles on to his forehead, and slspping
his hands on his knees exclaimed: well,
that beats all. What are the working
classes coming tot / had to be content
with humber wedding in my day, and

THE ODD FELLOWS.
They Have Paid Death Benefit ON a
Live Man.
Especial to the Press l

HALLowELL, January 26.-About five
years ago there lived in this little city
man who is just now the subject of con-
siderable comment. He had a wife and
one daughter. The wife was an ex-
cellent woman, a faithful wife and fond
spent number of years in the West
seemed to have great many of the cow
boy traits. At one time, when the man
had rather more ready money than usu-
al, he concluded he would join the Odd
Fellows, and in some way was accepted.
Then, to do the thing up brown, he uni
ted himself with the relief, which in
case of death would give his wife about
fifteen hundred dollars. Things went on
from bad to worse with the family after
this. The man was of employment and
either did not care to exert himself
enough to obtain work, or else through
lack of confidence people were unwilling
to give it to him. So he concluded to re-
turn to the West to his more congenial
companions and pastimes; and from
time to time he was heard from in Dalzo-
TIA, where he had evidently obtained en-
ployment. Then all communication
with him ceased; no one seemed to have
any idea where he was or what he was
doing, until one day his wife came for
ward with the statement that her hus-
band was dead, having been burned to
death with number of others in west
ern ranch. lid
This tale was told the Odd Fellows
about year ago. They paid over the
$500, and she proceeded to invest a por-
ton of it in farm not a great distance
from this city. Then came the blow to
all proofs gathered of the mans death,
for one fine day he appeared on the scene
alive and well, ready to enjoy the benefit
obtained through reports of his own
death.
Indignation was heard on every side.
1t was said that the Odd Fellows would
enter suit to recover their money, but
evidently this was found inexpedient, for
the reason the farm was all there was to
show for the fifteen hundred dollars.
The man, with his wife and daughter,
are running the farm, the Odd Fellows
are fifteen hundred dollars ont of pocket
with only the benefit of a peculiar expe-
rience, which they state is without par

She says the greatest difficulty she
finds in dressing herself on small sum
and not having the smallness of the
sum stand out too obviously from every
seam lies in the uncertainty of the in
tervals at which money can be com
manded and the impossibility of pre-
dieting at any time when or under what
circumstances any desirable garment
can be procured.
To get around this trouble, so far as
possible, she so orders her wardrobe
that old things and middle-aged things
and new things shall belong to-

trimmings shall not find itself obliged
to outlast the latter half of the life of
