Jacques Laftte was one Of
the most famous French bank,
ers of the earlier portion of the
present century. He first went
to Paris in 1898. He made
application for a situation at
once, visiting NJ. Perregeau, a
Swiss banker of great wealth.


at is impossible for me to
give you a place now" said M.
Ptrregeau, "as my house is all
full. | would recommend You
to seek elsewhere too, as it is
not likely that I shall have a
vacancy very soon"


The poor boy went away
with disappointment in his
heart, and very detected in air.
His head was dropping and he
casually noticed a pin lying on
the groundas he passed through
the magnificent court belong
ing to the great bankers pal
ace, and with the instinct of his
careful, economical nature, he
stopped and picked it up.


Little did he dream at the
time that this action was des.
tined to lead to his fortune
But M. Perregeau, looking out
Of his window, had noticed the
action and fully appreciated
the Importance ofitsindications.
He was delighted and saw in
it the revelations of a character
full of order and economy, and
a certain pledge Of the qualities
of a successful financier. That
evening he sent the young man
the following note:


"a place is made for you in
my Office which you may take
possession of tomorrow"


NJ. Perregeau's anticipations
were verified. Young Lafiitte
rapidly grew into his confidence
became cashier, then partner,
and finally attained great
wealth. lie also became the
President of the council of min.
listers, the highest office which
he could reach.

TIE Galaxy for 1871 promi.
ses even greater attractions
than heretofore. One distinc.
tive feature Of the Galaxy is,
the bright sharp way in which
it is edited, Every subject Of
popular interest is at once seiz
ed upon and written up by the
most competent person.


The Galaxy has gathered
around itself a staff of the most
popular writer's in every de-
partment, and it is clear that
every number is made up with
the same unity Of purpose and
nice discernment Of the public
taste, which characterlZes our
most successful daily and
weekly papers. 1t has been
the custom for magazines to
furnish the public with the best
selection they could make from
such articles az were sent to
them for publication. The day
for this has past, and the edi,
tor Of a first class magazine has
a very different duty to perform
from reading manuscript, and
culling out the best. lie must
create. He must map out the
style of magazine he wishes to
produce, and then seek upon
subjects on which the public
desire to read. This important
change in the requirements Of
magazine literature, the Galaxy
was the first to discern, ifit did
not itself create the change.


Among the attractions for
the coming year, the Galaxy has
engaged Porte Crayon to fur
nish ull series of sketches of ife
and adventure, which will re-
vive the old interest in his pic
lures of American scenes.

injury. We hope he may soon recover

A Dry DocK.-Whenever we see a
vessel go by our splendid harbor in tow
of tug, we think that in all probabili-
ties she has been wrecked and is being
taken to the dry dock in Milwaukee or
Chicago for repairs, and wonder why our
large merchants, enterprising ship-own-
ers and manufacturers do not club to-
gether and build dry dock of their own
in our spacious river, where any kind of
sail craft could be repaired just as well, with
better material, and at much cheaper
rates than any where else on Lake Michi-
gan, We have as good ship builders in
Mauitowoc as any port in America we
have the choicest material for building
purposes in abundance in our county !;
we have harbor unequaled by any of
the lake ports, and the river is navigable
for any craft for miles. We have liber-
ality and capital among our citizens fully
sufficient for any such enterprise. What
hinders its execution? Procrastinatton

The three elements of power in hu-


manity are the physical, the intellectual


and the moral. The best government of


any kind can be secured only by the ex-


ercise OF all three. He who adopts the


physical only, is ancient; crude, and bar


barious; he who confdes in the intellec.


rual alone, Is transcendental and imprac-


teal; he who trusts wholly in the moral,


OF love principle, is silly. The physical


and moral elements to the exclusion Of


the highest have been most in notice.


The thwacking principle in toto makes


children mulish and creates such a cal


loslty, that it would require a hotter


ire than we usually conceive of, to af


tect the interior. The love principle IN
toto causes intellectual impotency and
moral fatulence, and gorges society with
9oodtshaesS. To trust in this principle
alone, would be as absurd as to do awav
with all law and expect to rule our great
Republic by pulpit influences. We are
fully convinced by observation thai, in ad-
ditlon to intellectual and moral influences,
a little physical persuasion is good: and
were it our intention to continue in the
business, we would use just enough of
the iron to make action toierable and con-
smooth. Indeed, in certain
exceptional gone cases. it is for the
benefit of all to heap much physical force
upon the remaining modicum of morality.

Pay THE PRINTER,-ln the Columbia Rs
p"h'jcG's we find the following: The great
curse TO n country newspaper is the habit
they all fall ingo Of trusting out their pa
pers. Every csnt of the amount of the
subscription is needed TO help pay the run
ming expenses. When a subscriber with.
holds payment, it detracts just so much
from the goodness Of his paper. The edi.
tor, instead of having his mind on the look
out tor fresh ideas, freshnews, is studying
how he is to get the money to pay for that
bill of paper, or for the quarters rent due
tomorrow, He cannot help thinking that
his subscribers do not care for him, il they
do not come around with the money, and
so he gets to careing less and less whether
he interests, amuses or instructs them.
There are always number, good, honest
men, that pay promptly, always in advance,
who are awake TO the fact that the printer
needs his pay, and to such the printer feels
grateful, and the thought of such as these
encourages him to do his bcsy a little
longer. An editor hates to turn his paper
into dunning circular, just as much as
prompt payers dislike seeing the duus
week after week Although these duns
slip off their consciences IA water slides
of ducks back, yet it strikes them just
srs much as the water does the duck. Pay
the printer, gentle delinquent reader, and
then if the paper i9poor, you may be sure
it is not your iaulS.

The Young Ladies Journal thus moralizes
on engagements The subject is worthy
the considcrate attention Of our young lady
readers:


I'VE think engagements should be con-
considered more in their true lisht-as periods
of probation merely on both sides, inasmuch
as it it is better that Fifty engagements should
come to naught than that one unhappy mar
rage should be celebrated. Too much stress
and indignation are often expressed at the con-
temptible reasons assigned in Court. The
fact is, generally speaking, there is no definite
reason that can be properly assigned, save the
all important one Of "incompatibility Of tenn
per-" and this is rarely brought forward.
Everything, then, points to the very greatest
care and caution Icing exercised before an en-
gagement is sealed If the good sense and
affection Of girl all lead her to the choice she
is making. she stands fair chance in sccur-
ing good husband. II her choice proves TO
be wrong. and she has been deceived by the
one she trusted, or should he find he cannot
love her as he ought to DO, it is more honora-
bic that he should declare it and we do not
approve of the argument being brought for
ward, as in recent case in which the dansel
strongly desired that the quarrel might be
"made up" only in effect, adding to her cry of
Marry me marry me" land if You do
not I'll make you suffer (which she did, the
gentleman in the case referred to having to
buy his freedom at the cost Of $4,000. La
dies, when they are fairly engaged generally
stand an excellent chance Of being held to the
bargain they have made; andi they are let
of. it is only because they are not cared for.
In such an event they should see reason TO
congratulate themselves that they have found
out the truth in time, and have the philosophy
TO exclaim, " better to have been once loved
Though not married) than never to have been
loved at all ;" and, so saying, cast their net OF
charms and loveliness again into the sea. And
It is hard if their dearly bought experience
does not enable them this time to bring their
prize safely to land"

Is there not a beauty and a charm in that
venerable and vcnerated woman who sits in the

Of sanctifying associations surround her and
make her lovely, even on the verge Of the
grave. Is there not beauty and charm in

The New York Horid has been figuring up

"Once in a while a pensive man may be

ten years" No one man in twenty, who,
rctrospectiyely gazing gives utteranceto that

moderate bibulous propensitcs may spend

ing wines and expensive liquors out Of the

burse on his fayWite refreshments in the course

"Take a very moderate man for a sample
Assume that he drinks every day one glass Of
ale at ten cents. and four glasses Of whiskey
at fifteen cents. That amounts to seventy
cents a day, which makes four dollars and
ninety cents a week. Multiply by four and
You have $3.50 month, which comes to
$23j 90 a year. Thus, if the man who bad
gone on at this rate for ten years had his
money back, his pocket would be inflated to
the tune Of two thousand three hundred

beer calculation; but think Of those who spend
five times this sum on liquors, and remember
that their name is legion"
