How a Porter Rose in Life.

A young man once wrote to me from
the country, writes Coils P. Huntington
in Success that he would like to have me
get him clerkship in store. | wrote
him to come down-tbat | would get a
place for him. He replied that he did
not like to come down until the place had
been secured | told him not to wait for
that, so he came. The morning after his
arrival in New York l took him to large
jobbing house and told the principal man
there that | had brought from the country
boy who wanted place. .'What posi-
ton do you want for him p was asked
| replied that | would like him made as
sistant to the chief porter The principal
said that he could give him that kind of
position; but the young man called me
aside and told me he could do better for
himself than to take such place, as he
had been clerk in country store year.
''Never mind that" said I. Your be-
ing in a country store won't help you.
Take the place have gotten for you, and
do the work better than it has ever been
done before. y He was not pleased, but
took my advice and started at wages of
about SIS week, and have no doubt he
did the very best he could, for he was ad :
vanced several times in the course Of the
year. When he had been there some
thing less than year, he came to me and
told me that he had received proposition
for three years at thousand dollars for
the first year, twelve hundred and fifty
for the second and fifteen hundred for the
third | told him that was very good,
but not to commit himself for any such
length of time, as | believed there was
something better and higher for him to do,
and that he would soon be able to do it.;
but meanwhile to keep right along as he
was, doing the work they gave him to do.
Before two years had elapsed he found
better position for himself elsewhere, and
he achieved it by learning the lesson of
beginning at the bottom and working up.
He took up the new work in the same
spirit with which he began the old-with
the determination to master the work and
do it better than anybody else had done it.
He has been steadily going forward year
by year, until today he is worth about two
million dollars.

Texas Rivers Overlooked.

HousToN, Tex, April 15.-The en-
tire town of Wharton and the country for
eight miles above are now under water, all
previous records having been surpassed.
There have been no further casualties, and
there is no complaint of an insuficiency of
supplies to feed the several hundred negroes
who have sought refuge there The crops
in that portion of the Colorado Valley are
entirely ruined. The water is expected to
stand for week, at least, and prospects of
heavy rains all over that section NAV make
it longer.
The Brazos is now at the overflow stage
at Richmond, but as levees have been con-
structed about the big plantations, there
Is small danger of much damage. The
people have already left the lowlands.

The Late L Legislature.

In commenting upon the results achieved
by the Legislature, the Baltimore papers
are Ear from complimentary, but beneath
Their adverse criticism can plainly be seen
the disappointment at not getting every
thing that was asked for Baltimore. That
the Legislature was to some extent disap-
pointing may be admitted, but that it is
open to censure is incorrect. At any rate
we will have to look to better authority
than the Baltimore papers for fair meas
urement, because they have throughout
the whole session thought of nothing but
the City and her demands. Nearly all of
the difficulties that presented themselves
grew out of the City measures, and they
were 50 many and 50 selfish that spirit
Of jealousy was aroused that grew readily
enough into hostile feeling between the
City and the counties, that did neither Of
them any good.

The Great Price Of Benevolent As
similation

From the New York World.
The latest dispatches from Manila, re-
port six engagements with the insurgents
at different points in the islands last week
One armed body, all in full uniform,
was encountered on Friday within FIVE
miles of Manila. Two were killed and ten
captured, ''but unfortunately Captain
Sturgis's force was not large enough to
pursue the main body"
General Young, commanding in North
Luzon, and General Bell, who commands
in the south, have both ''made several re-
quests for reinforcements. They repre-
sent their troops as exhausted by the ne
cess;sy of constant vigilance that they
are unable to garrison the towns in their
jurisdiction and that as soon as our SOL
diers leave town "the insurgents return
to the district and kill the friendlies.
And this after fourteen months of war,
with go, 900 troops engaged and with Otis
relived because 'tthe war is over.

The Flag without the constitution
From the Cincinnati Ensnirer.

FROM the cincinnati EnqHarer-
President Mckinley, after unequivo-
cally declaring that with possession Of the
new territories the laws of this Union shel
tered, protected and would develop them.
has switched his views and now declares
that the Constitution does not follow the
flag. Who wants the flag without the
Constitution? What virtue does it possess
if it only carries force-the liberty to de-
stroy with shot and shell? What Is kb
erty void of constitutional guarantees 2
What is the quality of liberty which comes
from the mouth of President who disre-
CARDS the Constitution and whose iudg-
ment has for its corner stone hate and in
justice? Who is willing to permit William
Mckinley to define liberty ia contrayea-
ton of the decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States and the utteranees of
the ablest most patriotic and devoted citi
zens of the Republic2 Let the people of
the United States, before It is too late,
arraign before the public bar the madcaps
who have sold their country for the por-
ridge which they now eat. ;"

Castor on as Medicine For Plants

From New Pork Evening Post
The fine leaved variety of fern, like the
maidenhair and others, is not to be sprin
killed. on the leaves, says florist House
plants of larger foliage, however, like the
rubber plant and palms, need careful and
comparatively frequent sponging and
sprinkling with water. A further sug-
gestion in the care of house plants is con-
tributed by woman who has phenomenal
success with her large assortment.
eff l find that plant seems weak and
i'll nourished," she says, 81 give it dose
of castor oil some morning instead of the
usual water, repeating it perhaps after an
interval of a week or ten days if the i'm
provement does not seem sufficiently
marked. The suggestion was given to me
by florist long time ago, and have
tried it repeatedly with excellent results. .
