Mnlbery A man’s comfort in life depends very much upon his keeping a little ahead in his money affairs. If you once fall behind, it may be very difficult to mqke up. the headway which is lost One who begins with putting aside part of his earnings, however small, and keepB it up for a number of years, is likely to become rich before he dip. One who inherits property and goes on year by year spending a littte more than his income, will become poor if he lives long enough. Living beyond their means has brought multitudes of per sons to ruin in our generation. It is the canse of nine-tenths of all the de falcations which have disgraced the age. Bankers and business men in general do not often help themselves to other people’s money until their own funds begin to fall off, and their expenditures exceed their receipts. A man who is in debt walks in the midst of perils, have known merchants who, in their prosperity, would have scorned the thought of anything approaching to fraud, and yet, when they found them selves sinkiDg, have resorted to base devices which would seem to be utterly foreign to their nature. A drowing man will clutch at tho throat of his best friend to save himselt.■ Debt in itself is dreadfully demoralized. It may sometimes be inevitable; but even where there is no dishonesty connected with it, the moral fibre is labile to be injured by its influence. t cannot bnt impair one’s self-resp; ct when he feels that he is -living upon honey which be longs to others. How much better, whenever it is possiblejto keep a little ahead, even though we deny ourselves all the luxuries and someof the comforts of existence. j It is also very desinble that we shonld keep somewhat head in our work. This may not be possible in all cases; as, tor instance, wen a man’s work ss assigned to certainfixed hours, like that of tho operatives in a mill. But there are certain classesof * people who can choose their time fc the work which they are called to do, and amongst them there are so nit who in variably put off the task assiged them as long as possible, and then anxious, confused, —in such a State of nind as certainly unfits them for doig their best work. I do not think mt the ablest sermons which are pwaned are such as are concocted after susut on Saturday evening. A clergyma’s prep aration for Sunday should be rade in season to allow him the seventldny of the week for a Sabbath of rest. There would be fewer break downs in to min istry. if our preachers did nos sc often enter the public jaded by the lat.konrs they have kept on the previous aiglit. Some men, when an appointnmt is made for them to deliver a speed dis course months ahead, will do nthing about it until a day or two befov the date assigned. Once in a while aman of genius may be fonnd who orks best under pressure, and occasiially we hear of great authors who kee the printer’s boy waiting at the "door bile they dash off at lightning speed, al in characters which are a sore trial tothe printer and proof-reeder, pages ofim- pnssioned poetry and fiction which lec trify the world. Bnt these are rsrex- eeptions, and it is not well for ordiiry mortals to follow their example. One secret of success in life consts in keeping ahead of other people in or plans. Society is divided into ro gURa—leader and followers—tine who “go aheadand,” those who mery “fall into line.” How are great fc- tnnes made? Partly, as I have alreay said, by saving, and also by striking ct in advance of others. A far-slghte long-headed Astor sees that there a; sgesj while others arrogate the title to At CHANCE TOR ZTSKPROPA- themselves simply because they deny GATORS- everything which the world T. T.

The highest thought is that which affirms,—not that which denies. The old image-breakers would not have been worthy of much credit if they h ad not set np something bettor for ns to worship in place of the idols which they destroyed, A true re formation is a re-formation,—a re-form ing, not a destroying; Society is always in need of men who command respect and revenue because of their elevated character. We look np to cert ain persona, we look down up on others; we simply look at the great majority,—netcher np or down,—be cause of the monotonous level on which the multitude stand. If it were net for the example of a few eminent men we should have a low standard of character. In every village of a thousand or more inhabitants there are usually some four or five men and women whose influence wonld be sorely missed if they should be taken away. They keep ahead of other people,—in enterprise, as well bb in character. A handful of snch per sons may elevate the whole tone of the community, Alas for the town where all people are on a level! It is sure to be a pretty low level. “Town-meeting day” tells the whole story. School teachers salaries cat down, public im provements blocked, ignorant and 31- .msnnered men sent to the Legislature, general evasion of taxes, law-suits with out nnmber—is the reader so unfortu nate as to live in a placo where these features are prominent? Then let him try to change things for the better and put himself in advance of the commu nity to which he belongs. He may ex pect rough treatment at first; he may be ridiculed and maligned and persecn ted,—so have all men been who have set forward tho world. The more you ars abused, the more it shows you are seed ed. . _ r .„. , .... Finally let eveiy vonng man who has a soul in him determine not only.to get ahead, bnt to keep ahead until he drops out of his place to make way for some one else. In our day- those who are coming on the stage of action find it partfculary hard to get a start,—the roads are blocked, there is a crowd of applicants for every respectable station or opening, and it is only the active and vigilent who stand much chance of getting ahead. Bnt remember for your comfort, that those who have succeeded best are often snch ash td to strive hard est in the beginning. What special advantage did the great majorty of our most successful citizens have when they started in their career? Only tuch as they found within themselves,—a clear head, an earnest purpose, and a strong will. They made their fortunes,—for- tnne did not make them.—N. Y. Ledg- Tho Political Outlook. Thoughtful Republicans in Washing ton, say the correspondent of the Balti more Sun, find nothing in the fact of Cornell’s election by a comparatively meagre plurality to give them comtort. The real contest was for the Lieuten ant Governorship and the rest of the State ticket, Clarkson N. Potter, a representative . Democrat, defeats by a decisive majority Hoskins, a represen tative. Republican, for Lieutenant Gov ernor; and the democrats also elect ail the state officers except the Governor. The logic is plain—New York is.a Dem ocratic State by at least twenty-five thou sand majority, and leading Democrats claim that she will give that verdict in behalf of any Presidential candidate resources in fur faraway in the nortl next year upon whom her Democracy west quarter of the new world; a Tudc can be thoroughly united.

Fer guson a letter on the subject of German carp, and he publishes in the Sun an ad vertisement announcing that he is pre pared to furnish any citizen ‘ of Mary land having a pond or stream in-the State, and who wish to stock it with German carp, ten pairs of this prolific fish, on application at the Druid pill hatching house. Accompanying (Mr. Ferguson’s letter was a copy of a letter to Senator Beck, of Kentucky on the same subject, from Professor Spencer F: Baird, of -the United States Fish Commission, in which he announces a distribution of German Carp among the ponds of Kentucky. Professor Baird is satisfied that carp, which con stitutes a notable article of food snpply in Austria and Germany, will within ten years take a very prominent place among the food animals of the United States. He speaks of it as “emphatical ly a farmer’s fish, and that it may safely be elaimed to be among fishes what chickens are among birds and pigs and ruminants among mammals,” “Its special merit,” he adds, “lies in the fact of its sluggishness, and the ease with which it is kept in very limited enclosures, its being a vegetable feeder, dan its general inofiensiveness,” Culti vated trout and bass “requires a sup ply of animal food for their sustenance and growth, bnt the carp lives on the roots and leaves of aquatic plants and similar substances, and may be fed oh corn, grain, bread, root crops, raw or boiled, and indeed any vegetable sub stance. Prof, Baird adds: “Its rate of growth, too, is something marvelous; and, as observed so far in the speci mens introduced into the United States, being even more remarkable here than in Europe. Among the original fish imported by us from Europe, and which are now only about three and • half years old, are some from twenty- five to thirty inches in length, weighing from four to eight or nine pounds. The carp will- thrive betat in artificial or natural ponds with mnddy bottoms and abounding in vegetation. In large ponds it may not be necessary to add any special food; but in restricted en closures, as, for instance, in those of a fraction of an acre, they may be fed with the refuse of the kitchen garden, leaves of cabbage, lettuce, leek, etc., hominy or other substances. Grain of any kind is generally better boiled be fore being fed to the fish; bat this is probably not necessary.” No preducions fish should be put into a carp pond, although suckers and mnl- lets would not be objectionable. Black bass, sun fish and fresh water perch are inadmissible in the same pond. Major Ferguson’s letter generalizes and con firms the views expressed by Professor Baird, and there can be no doubt that the introduction of carp - into private ponds may be made to add materially to the local supply of food for the table, and provo an excellent addition to ev ery fanner’s family, by whom fresh fish is often unattainable.—Baltimore Son. WOUNDS IN HEART. Wounds in the heart are commonly supposed to be instantaneously fatal, but not the case. Indeed, it is not possible except by some extreme violence, snch as dynamite explosions, to blot out p human life instantly. Keep er Good’s pistol ball went right through the heart oi Barrett, the Sing Sing convfot, yet he lived four. minutes. Portello’s knife cleft the heart of Bolan- der completely in.twain, bathe did not fall dead upon the spot. The instinct of self-preservation remained, and. even that horrid wonnd had not deprived him of the. strength to obey it. He ran first towards a neigboring drug store, then turned and ran down Fulton stieet, and had reached a point many feet distant from the spot where he was stabbed and fell and expired. So O'Connell, who was stabbed by Nichols, at Nyack, Jnly 3, though his heart was actually cut in two by the stroke, ran several feet after the wonnd was in flicted. A puncture of the heart is nec. essarily fatal, but the victim is often conscious for two or three. minutes, though generally without much power of motion or of speech, save the first ery of agony. This shows that the brain can act even after the heart is de stroyed. On the other hand, the heart continues to exercise its functions after th* brain has ceased all action, as iu case of death from severe blows on the head. The hearts of criminals who have been banged generally keep up their pulsations for twelve or fifteen minutes, although it is reasonably certain, when the neck is broken, that -they can re ceive no nervons impulse from the brain during that time. The continued work ing of the organ is attributable to.a res- idiumof nervous force. In the case of some anim.:ls. * this is sufficient to keep the heart pulsating for hours after it has been taken out of the body. The common notion that the heart is a deli cate organ is a mistake. It is on the contrary, one of the most robust. Its muscular strength is is enormous, sud its tolerance of disease is something marvelous. Men and women whose hearts have been diseased from child hood sometimes attain & ripe old age, and many people with heart disease live for years in almost momentarily expec tation of sudden death, and then die of some other malady. Only a veiy-few of the many diseases - to which the heart is liable are inevitable and -speedily fatal. Most of them, even of organio diseases, are quite compatible with long life.- As to the functunal diseases, or derange ment of the heart’s aotion without actu al lesion, they are devoid of danger, though their manifestations are com monly mure disquieting than those of se rious organic disease.—Lew York Times. A DANGEROUS FRAUD. ■I The Fosi.il Remains of a Groat Ser pent- Ells vorth connty, Ku., furnishes a new contribution to natural history m the serpent of the prehistoric period. The discovery was made three miles uorth of Wilson, the other day, by a Mr. Sylvester^ while plowing, prepatory to opening a stone quarry. Having turned over what he supposed was a piece of petrified wood, nearly four feet in length, but wbich-proved to.belong to the animal kingdom, further search was made, following up other pieces in contin uity, varying in length from one to three feet, until thirty-six feet in all were secured. Not until tbe head was exhumed was the character of the monster appa rent. No one seeing the reconstructed segments of the snake placed in their natnral order can for a moment doubt the genuineness of the discovery. The remains were fonnd only a few inches below the surface, with a thin layer of earth between them and the nnderlay- ing rock, The length of the head is seventeen inches; width of head, eleven inches; greatest thickness of body about one foot. The line of demarca tion between the upper and lower jaw>, serpetine. the passage of the oesopha gus through the neck, as well as that of the alimentary canal some fifteen feet further on in the body, is clearly trace able. The oatline ot the backbone ia distinctly seen in a nnmber of the sec tions composing' the remains.' Some of larger vertebra are four inches across and it is about the same distance be tween the vertebral spaces—or, compar atively speaking, they are the size of the vertebim of a large horse. A por tion of the caudal extremity—some ten or fifteen feet—is missing, haring been removed by a previous quarry man, so -that-the original length of the monster was probably^Eity ftet. w mtT _ ^improving forma.-/Trade ^straight back into the bogs of tho dark I has in^rsed fifty percent.

Watts, the Presidedtof the New York 0 tton Exchange, who ar rived home by the Bothina on Wednes day. after an absence of eight months iu Europe, was met in Hanover square yesterday by a Herald reporter. There is no denying that the prospects of tne trade are vastly improved, the outlook all over Europe being better than it has been in a long time and Mr. Watts was found as bouyant as the market, lie expressed the opinion that there is not going to be any damaging competition with the American preduct, and remark ed that- the production of the sta ple, which had been constantly increas ing, would continue to increase with the demand. “The production of cot ton in India,” said Mr. Watts, “has been decreasing every year. Next year it is though there may be an increase of about two hundred thousand bales but, this increase is only an incident of abet ter season. The tendency is to drive ont Great Britain as a competitor in producing cotton, as we produce a much better article at a comparatively cheaper price- It has been demonstra ted that bb other conntry can raise cot ton to compete with ours. The present prices are good and we have nothing' to fear for tho future.”—Hew York Her ald. New York the Pivotal State,—The Philadelphia Inquirer, Independent re publican, furnishes a table, which it says is “the best that can be done in the way of presenting a table of the electoral vote of}1880 favorable to the repnblcan party.” It gives as certain Democratic States all the Southern States and Indi- anna, making 153 electoral votes In the doubtful States it places Connecti cut, New York and New Jersey, with 50 electoral votes, claimin^the remaining Northern and Western States, with 166 votes, as certain for the republicans. There are necessary to a choice 185 votes, which the republicans will not have, even if the 15 votes of New Jer T sey and Connecticut be added to tLeir 166, unless they get New York, and which, and more, the Democrats will haTe If fter get New York. That, in faet, is the only State they want to make their election .sure,' Hence the Inquirer regards New York as the bat tle ground, and it concludes that “noth ing but hard, intelligent work from now until the day of the Presi den tial elec tion will avail, and 3ven wit h ail Ibat the result will be in doubt.” It seems from facts which have recent-! ly come to light that Professor James: C. Wingard; of New Orleans, the in-1 ventor of what he called a “nameless j force,” an exhibition of the power of [ which ho pretended to give in Lake Ponckartrain some three years ngo, was the chief mover in the experiment which resulted in the death of Mr. J. B. MeClintock, in Boston harbor. * Early last summer Wingard tamed np in Bos ton with credentials from various par ties in New Orleans and succeeded in raising several thousand dollars for the purpose of experimenting his invention. He was very mysterious, but -told won derful stories of the power of his terri ble agent. His secret, if he had any, he kept well, and went no further in the way of explanation than to say that his “nameless force” was produced by positive and negative currents of elec tricity. McCliutock and a man by the name of Holgate appeared upon the scene sometime in September, and Irom that time until the disaster were the as sistants of Wingard in preparing for the experiment. Since McClinlock’s death facta have come to light which go to show that the terrible force was nothing more than dynamite. This dynamite, to the amount of thirty or forty pounds, was packed in a torpedo case which had been brought from New York. This work was done in a Boston hotel, where, stall times, there were hundreds of peo ple. If the slightest concussion had come to this material, the hotel might have been blown to pieces and many livss lost. The dynamite torpedo was carried to South Boston and placed on board of a yacht. It is no longer doubt ed that MeClintock and his boatman, S fain, lost their lives by an accidental explosion of this torpedo. That Wing ard has invented a new force is not be lieved ia Boston. In fact, his “uame- lers force” is thought to be a swindle. A Fimaie S0LDD3-—Privatellanot- ti, of tho Eleventh Battalion, Italian Bersagliori, though long confined to the room by illness, refused to he carried to the hospital. Ultimately, on being forcibly removed thither, tho soldier was discovered to be a woman. She joined the army dnring the war of 18S6 to enable her brother to remain with his wife and six children. She had pra viotisly, being very strong, worked in the mine. At Custozza she won a med al for bravery. The King lias confeir- d on her a decoration, and sent her home with a pension ff 3C0 lire.
