Elements OF Success.

Why do some men succeed financially
So much better than others; Is ii be
cause they are wiser No. Is / because
they are more persevering2 Nc not al
ways. Is it because they are guided
more closely by the principles OF common
honesty No; the dishonest man, if he
is shrcwd and cautious, IS as likely to sue
coed is the honest one. Honesty is the
best principle but it is not always the
best policy, the maxim to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Does one succeed be-
cause he is good No; thousands OF
good people perish every year for want
OF the neCcSsaries of life. Does industry
bring success; No not always. Does
edu.Ition' no; thousands o college
graduates have become tramps after un.
successful attempts at earning 4 liyeli-
hood. What, then, is the one great es
sentlll OF success in the financial world :
Strength. torcerof character.
Observe the force OF character in the
sturdy Scotchmln, the self-denying Ger
man or the money getting Jew. Wicked
ness nor goodness, honesty nor dishones
~, intelligence nor ignorance, learning
nor llitcrdcy constitutes the deciding
factor Mon succeed because they are
strong, ol fat because they arr weak
The race is to the strong. The weak
must perish or. AT best, be ostlcd aside.
The golden rule in business exists only il

Congressional.

Saturday last after four years of un-
deniably successful administra, ion, Ben
iamin Harrison, in obedience to the COM
mand of the people, passes over the reins
of national executive power to Grover
Cleveland, who for the second time, aud
after an interval of four years, assumes
the responsibilities of the highest Office
in the land.
The closing session of the SD Congress
expired at noon on Saturday. The APP
preparation bills were finally disposed of,
and no extra session of Congress will
probably be held-only the usual extra
session of the Senate.
The bill providing for the appointment
of an additional district attorney aud
United States marshal in Alabama. has
become Law by being passed over the
Presidents veto. There was but one vote
in the Senate to sustain the yeto-and
Mr.. Frye threw that vote.
Among the last acts of the SD Congress
was the passage of the bill providing for
clerks for members of 30 private pension
bills, and bill providing issue OF copy
right where two copies of books or other
articles be sent to the librarian of Con-
gress mailed before March |, 1893.
On Friday the sundry civil bill was
finally agreed to in Congress. Mr.. Reed
in the House made a splendid appeal for
the Senate Worlds Fair amendment, pro-
yiding for government exhibit at Chica-
90. but the House adhered to its opposi-
tion. There was an all-nght session Of
both branches on Friday and Il continu-
GUS session until noon Saturday. The

Many interesting stories have been
told about that fayorite son of the south,
Henry W. Grady. One that was heard
a few evenings ago at an assemblage
largely made mp of Presbyterian clergy
mon shows that his colored coachman,
who has not appeared prominently be
fore the American public. was well
worthy to be in the service of such n
master. The Rev. Dr. Henry NJ. Field
was the relator of the incident. Dr.
Field WAS visiting Atlanta and of course
met Mr.. Grady. Mr. Grady placed his
carriage at DR. Fields disposal, and after
driving about the city, on being left at
Mr. Grady's office, DR.. Field rewarded
the coachman with big silver dollar.
Later in the day Mr.. Grady remarked
to DIR. Field that his coachman had told
him of the tip. and mt the same time had
said that a certain Baptist clergyman,
whom he had driven about the city a
few days before rs Mr.. Grady's guest,
had at the end of the ride rewarded him
with his blessing, saying that he could
give no other reward. Mr.. Grady asked
which he preferred, the dollar or the
blessing, and the coachman, scratching
his head, replied that both were good
and that he Thought he preferred them
