Perseverance particularly respect; 1t IS
the very hinge of all virtues. On looking
over the world, the cause of nine parts in
ten of the Iamentable failures which occur
in mems undertakings, and darken and de-
grade so much of their history, lies not in
the want Of talents, or in the will to use
them, but in the v2cillsting and desultory
mode of using them, in flying from object
to object in starting away at each little. dis.
gust, thus applying the force which might
conquer any one difficulty to a series of diff
fculties so large that no human force can
conquer them CdrIyIe.

Ecery Inch a Duke.

The amateur traveller, as his friends
call him, was in a meditative frame OF
mind, and every one knew that over the
second cup of black coffee which followed
his dinner he was thinking of some for
eign land. By that mysterious principle
of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES which everybody
knows nothing about, some one asked +;
." Did you ever see live duke at homer
"Yes," he said. al was just thinking
about one duke | saw. | had driven out
from Palermo to the races at La Favorita,
where, in an amphitheater of great noun
tains, the Sicilian nobility had gathered
to see some bad racing. 1t was one ofthe
most beautiful spots on earth. The great
mountains hemmed about a level plain,
and it seemed too grand for horse racing.
But, then, it was not real racing, you
know, only weak imitation, which really
did not detract from the sublimity of the
place, but gave people an excuse for being
there. We were driving back after the
races through the Corso. where up and
down the Sicilian great men passed one
another, when, swinging up the broad
way, saw a carriage, the panels of which
blazed with armorial bearings. 1t was OF
an ancient and most respectable make and
was drawn by four white horses, on two
of which were positions in liveries of blue
and silver. On the box, with folded arms,
sat two footmen in the same livery, and
on the footboard behind were two more,
all four with cooked hats and white, curl
ing wigs. On the blue velvet cushions of
the carriage reclined an old man, with a
snow-white imperial and mustache. He
was heavy of face and figure, and from
beneath dropping eyelids lusterless eyes
looked out as If upon a world in which he
had seen nothing except safety. His
forehead was high, his nose aquiline and
his whole air one of aristocratic repose.
1T was a strong face and one to be
remembered. | can see it now rising
through the mists of memory above those
of kings and princes. As the carriage
swept by and was lost in the thrOng Of the
crowded Corso asked my driver, Who
was that The Duke de la -, he
answered. 1t was an ancient name, long
known in Italy, and | speculated, as |
drove up and down, upon what that man
might have accomplished had he not been
born duke.
"That night at the Hotel de France |
remarked that had seen the duke that
day in the Corso, for his strong face was
in my mind. The company, two or three
Of the old Sicilians and an English man,
long resident, laughed, and one said :
'Oh, yes, as clever man as you want to
meet except for his dukedom.'
How is that?'
" 'Why, he was a poor peasant boy,
who worked like fits, and finally made a
fortune by inventiDg new kind of chew
ing gum. He put his money in railroad
contracts and made more. Then he
bought the de Ia - estate, and in those
days the title went with the estate, so he
is the duke, as you see him. The last
of the de la --s have long since slept
in their family sepulcher, but for energy
and ability will match this chewing gum
man against any one of them that ever
lived

Loves Young Dream.

There was considerable excitement
on Missouri Flat yesterday in which
Elko's young, butcher was the cen.
trail figure. While going from the
butcher shop to The slaughter house,
he stopped TO cali on his best girl,
leaving his Team standing by the
gate. Once in the house he became
totally oblivious to everything but
the fair dansef sitting by his side.
Not 80 with bis team, however. Be-
coming restless over the, prolonged
absence Of their driver, the horses
took a spin around the block on their
own hook, splitting things out Of the
wagon and playing havoc generally.
The neighbors finally went to the res
cue, caught the team, took it back
to the house and with difficulty woke
the young man out of his dream.

pressed this item, but as he did not,

The Outlook for q Monetary Con
ference.

WAsHINGToN, March 2.-None OF
the silver men in the House expressed
any surprise when informed of t.:e
Encouraging remarks Of Che British
Chancellor of the E1chequer on the.
outlook Of the reassembliug OF tho
monetary conference.
McCreary "f kentucky. delegate
from the United States to the confer
ence. said:
THE outlook does not indicate
that:an International monetary CON-
fe reEce viii be held in this city.
There is, however, It growing feeling
In Europe in favor Of the enlarged
use OF silver. Eogland has been in
favor OF gold monometallism for q
number of years, but there are many
able men who favor international hi
metalltsm. England has blockade ed
the way more than any other nation
aud prevented an international ngree-
ment for many years, but 1 believe
there will be after while such n de-
mand for International blmetalliam
that another .. conference must be
held. But it is probably impossible
that it can assemble until several of
the leading countries Of Europs iu-
dictate desire for conference.
Ne Hlands Of Nevada said he had no
expectation that England would move
for the reassembling OF the confer
ence while the Liberals remain in
power. Ii the Conservatives could
secure control he would consider tho
prospects bright for an International
agreement, siuce Balfour aud other
prominent men OF that party weYe
favorable to silver. He is confident
that under this administration the
initiative step will not be taken by
the United States.
Allison, another delegate to the
last confere nee, read the dispatch,
with the comment THAT he T. d known
all the time that the United States
would not propose another confer
eDce.
Bland said the action Of England
was immaterial. He believed the
United States should stand ON it's
own feet.
II never took any stock in this in
tsTpational bnsiness,"s he added. II
believe it ia all humbug."
