Elegant Revenge.

Kuang, at Kuelin, short time ago, at the
execution of a famous rebel chief, stepped
forward and caught some of the blood AMI
drank it. Whether he wished to become
impregnated with the courage of the ROB-

that prompted the act can only be sur
missed.

Wallace and the Unions.

This enthusiasm for Wallace extends even
to the common mechanics Many of them
are kickers, but none attributes his trou-
bles to him. Indeed, several of them have
told me that if labor matters are left to
Wallace everything will be all right, and
find this to be the standing of the chief
engineer with our labor, organized and unor-

How Wallace Learned Business.


I have referred to Mr. Wallace as bust
ness engineer. 1 want to tell you how he
got his business education. AS soon as he
began to work he saw that the successful
engineer had to know business methods in
order to succeed. He realized that he
would have to deal with accounts all his
life and also with all matters relating to
corpora tons. The first thing he took up
was accounts. While acting as surveyor
he carried on private course in bookkeep-
ing, learning single and double entry. He
had a friend employed in bank and
through him he had access to the account
books of the bank and learned that branch
of the business. One of his first jobs was
as assistant engineer on the Mississippi inn
provement at the Rock Island rapids This
was government work, and in connection
with it he studied the government methods
of bookkeeping, he did afterward those
of the railroad companies with which he
became connected. Indeed he was soon so
we'll posted on such matters that he was
often called in and paid for acting as an
expert accountant.
At the same time he took up the law. He
read Blackstone, Kent and Chitty, and
made especial studies of contracts and cor
porations. This knowledge has since proved
of great advantage to him.
The Secrets of Success.
At the same time young Wallace kept uI
his engineering, going steadily onward
climbing over difficulties toward the top
Indeed. he courted the difficult and the dis
agreeable. In studying the secrets of sue
cess, he says, he soon saw that the men
who rose were the men who took the hard
jobs and mastered them.

This has been Mr.. Wallaees policy
throughout life-to court big things and do

Two Presidential Proelamations.

Railroad development seems greatly
to have impressed President Johnson,
for in his third proclamation for the
last Thursday of November, he said:
He has per"1itted us to multiply our
ships upon our lakes AM rivers and
upon the high seas, and at the same
time to extend our iron roads so far
into the secluded places of the CONT
nent as to guarantee speedy overland
intercourse between the two oceans"
President Grants proclamations
contained nothing out of the ordinary,
except that in one year, Nov. 1S-not
the last Thursday-was made the hol.
iday. and he also issued a proclama-
ton calling for special thanksgiving
on July 4, 1876, on the one hundredth
anniversary of the nations birth.

Dublin is a sort of Washington city
for Ireland. and when parliament Is
in session 1t gathers together there
its beauty and its chivalry," and 1t is
said that gayety reigns supreme. Dur
ing our stay we turned our attention
to the city itself and found it satisfac-
tory. The river Liffey cuts the town
in two, and the public buildings,
which compare favorably with any in
the kingdom, are on either side of the
stream. The streets are broad and
well paved and the mansions and
rows, as the residences are called,
are we'll built, and many of them mag
nifcent. One of the most attractive
things about the entire country over
here is the moss-covered walls that
shut out the public everywhere.
If any one likes looking through
fine buildings. the royal exchange,

courts, custom house, postoffice or
national gallery. all of which are
splendid buildings, will repay any in

For natural loveliness of scenery,
mixed with stories of interest and
unfailing charm, there is nothing in
ireland to surpass the tour to the
lakes of Killarney, no matter which
route one takes. AT this season it is
simply glorious. The hay is being
stacked and small grains threshed
out, and the golden fields and green
pastures, alternating with fields of
vegetables and flowers, with the hills
covered with the heather in full
bloom, presents mosaic, and wheth-

After dinner there are many games
to be played in which old and young
may join. To a drawing-board on an
easel fasten a number of large sheets a
blank paper. Whisper the name of an
animal to each guest. Give each
slip of paper and pencil. Now let
each in turn draw picture on the
large papers, representing the animal
designated. The others must guess
what animal 1t is and write the name
on their lists. The greatest aggregate
of correct guesses may receive a
prize. A blackboard may be used in.

teresting to all, as often the children
outstrip their elders in drawing
animals.
Another merry game is tossing
bean bags through hoop. Suspend a
gaily decorated hoop in doorway,
and the party being evenly divided,
let those on one side throw bean bags
through the hoop to those on the other
side, who must catch them. Have
bells on the hoop, and let a careful
score be kept-if the bell rings, 1t
counts less than clean throw. After

The milk is white when drawn, but
changes to red in the course of a few
hours. A scientific investigation by the
state veterinarian was made, resulting
in the cow being marked as the only one
