Address .F.lu»k y* were Co., 364 Wabash Ave23 Some people are in the habit of shuffling off their vices upon their constitution. We remember of read ing once of an old English naval of ficer who was in the habit of using profane language in an inordinate degree. Some one asked him why he swore so much, (he was an ornament to his noble profession, and had a heart that did honor to human nature, and gallantry that was unexcelled in battle. At this writing we cannot re call his name.) He answered that it was constitutional and he could not help it. He said that he lived swear ing and would die swearing, and it was shrewdly suspected by his men that he was born swearing. A few hours before his last action, he call ed upon both his eyes and his blood to witness, that he could not live an hour without swearing—could not light his ship without swearing, and finally ended with, “By , its con stitutional with me; its in my blood!” But how does it happen tbat the case is so seldom reversed ? Rarely very rarelv, does constitution get the credit of our virtues. I never heard of a lady owning that she was consti tutionally virtuous, a clergyman that he was constitutionally pious, a poli tician, that he was constitutionally patriotic, or a fellow of a college that he was constitutionally abstemi ous. Oh, no, all that is principle. Wo claim for ourselves all the credit due to our virtues, while wo burden our constitution with our vices; and it seems most happily ordered, that every creature under heaven has some failing with which he can charge his constitution. To be sure, here and there, one lights upon an excep tion. For instance, we may have a hypocoudriacal neighbor, who can eat, drink, sleep and talk;own a face like a dairy maid, and a corporation only second to that of a full healthv looking liver upon the good thing’s of life, who professes to have been in a dying state for several years owing to “a complication of disorders.” A wretched mortal he is. He has deni ed himself of the most availing plea forever. He will tell you with a countenance that would make a milestone melancholy, that it was all over with him, and he was unlike the old naval officer who swore that it was constitutional with him to swear like a trooper. My condition is ow ing to the fact that I have no consti tution at all. The old navy man, hearty and strong, attributes his oaths to his constitution and the fat sliek hypocondriae justifies his fool ish melancholy for the want of any constitution at ail. For our part we like the character of the old sea cap tain the best. Both have their faults. One excuses his oaths putting them upon his constitution, but he is a brave officer upon whom his ceoatry can depend in the hour of danger and battle, and the other is a poor fea ture shielding himself fram manly duty upon the plea of having no con stitution at a!!. Dr. C. A. Estabrook has written a letter to Gov. McDaniel from Dayton, in which he says he will leave Ohio for Georgia with his second excursion of farmers between the first and third of February. Dr. Estabrook writes the Governor and Judge Henderson, Com missioner of Agriculture, to make ar rangements to receive him and his party upon their arrival. He says he will bring with him about one hundred farmers who are anxious to look into the farming interests of Geor gia. There are two crimes in the world— not to work when yon are able to work; not to help those who are un able to work. -Our first duty when grief overtakes Me^sWin to God. We furnish our readers with a few extracts about Lisbon, Portugal, written by an Englishman for Black wood’s Magazine. “To me—I hear it abused—but, to me, this place seems a paradise ! Will you call it affectation, if 1 speak about climate? I don’t care if you do. In defiance of all the nonsense that ever was written about “Italian skies’’, there is a difference, and an essential one— ask your own feeling, on the first day you get in England? There is a difference in the level of man’s spirits—of his courage—of his heart—when he has a warm sunny sky over his head without a cloud to be seen in it for a month together; and where he imbibes nothing, week after week, but a Laze as white as good milk and water ; and fancies ev ery morning when he gets out of bed, that it must he general washing-day all over the world. Oh, come away from sucli a place as Portsmouth— come suddenly, into a region where uproar does not seem to go on by “act of Parliament!” where the lux uries of life are before you, and at a cost within your reach. Come here to my window, and overlook the pub lic murket! Look at the grapes, and at the water-melons, and at the “frails” of figs, and at the oranges! See the olives! You have them in groves. See the aloe ! it blows in the very hedges! Look at the shrimps— in this country they are all prawns ; taste the Bucellas wine—it is sold at a drinkable price ! Then there is your coffee, your liqueur, your lemonade, and your sweetmeat ! And what are all these—even all these set against your view! In front, a clear river, full three miles across, with lulls, and woods, and vallies, and white villages beyond. Behind, a city hanging in the air—a city of enchantment, which you see five-sixths of, at a glance— covering a tract of ground, as com pared with its population, three times greater than is occupied by London, besides suburbs, prolonged almost farther than the eye can follow, of villas, gardens, palaces, orchards, aqueducts and olive plantations. And all this—the river, the city and the suburbs, the far shore of the Aleutejo, and the white harbor of Casildeas! the Moorish fort of St. Juliao’s-, the distant village of Belem, the port, with two hundred ships at anchor in it, and room for twice two hundred more! See it all at one view—in the rich glow of an evening’s mingled red and purple sunbeams, than which no sight in nature could unite a combina tion of more charming magnificence and beauty. Come to the prospect as I came to it, away from noise and fog and nuisance—and with no great dis inclination to dislike everything you have left behind you! and then tell whether such mere change of scene is not to mind and body, a mar vellous physician, and whether all the vapors, and cares, aud ill conditions of the soul, do- not vanish before the bright influence of such a climate and such a sky ? There is grander scenery; the precipice, the alpine height, the foaming torrent, but in the combination to which I invite you there is more beauty and pleasing magnificence than the world ever pre sented to my eyes before. Spain is the country which an Englishman studies as soon as he ever begins to read for amusement. It is the scene of our favorite novels—and of some of our most popular plays. Directly af ter Jack the Giant Killer, we get to Servantes and to Le Sage, Spanish lovers and Spanish ladies, Spanish barbers and Spanish duennas, con vents and clocks, rope-ladders and dark lanterns; these are all details which, from childhood excite our sur prise and admiration. The muleteers from Beiva, who carry you, soul and body, back to Don Quixote, with scar let sashes, short knee-breeches, som brero hats, and gaudy waistcoats, leading long strings of starving mules, with bells at their necks, and pack- saddles,as vigorous as Ukraine horses, and as wicked as wild asses, and dec orated grotesquely with a profusion of worsted fringe and tassels about their bridles, and other head-gear, much like the fashion that was form erly rife among the brewers of Lon don. Whatever may be the morals of the Portugese, a man must l>e very diffi cult who is not satisfied with their manners. For one street quarrel in Lisbon, you have a hundred in Lon don. Ladies walk in the streets freely, attended only by their female ser vants, and anything like an insult or coarse comment is unheard of. Not a man of whatever class or condition, but give, the pave to a female as she passes, and every gentleman, even in the busiest situations, salutes her by taking off his hat. These little for malities, if they mean nothing, effect a great deal. A man, in fact, who of fered rudeness to a woman, would here be kicked out of society. To see Lisbon at night, a stranger should go forth as the first bat gets on the wing. Just after the bell has done ringing for Vespers—as the stars begin to peep gently through the clear red of the horizon, and the ladies eyes to glance curiously from the cross lattices of their windows ; then plant yourself in one of the several squares which run along the edge of the Tagus, (as our temple gardens lie upon the bank of the Thames) and you have the fresh, cool sea breeze fanning you on one side, while on the other, terrace above terrace, the whole city, like one vast edifice, rises on your view. I stood at a point like this when the town was generally illuminated, for the birthday, I believe, of the Prince of the Brazils. You never saw any thing like the scene, unless, perhaps, it was a scene in a fairy pantomime at a theatre. The illumination con sisted not of colored lamps or of lamps laid into devices, as the fashion is in England, but principally of candles, disposed in great abundance (through houses five and six stories high) in every window from top to bottom. This arrangement if followed univers ally would be lively even in level streets, but imagine a pile of blazing lanterns three miles wide, and about three times as high as St. Paul’s church—yourself standing at the foot of it—taken in as part only of a pros pect. Suppose the rock of Clifton, seen at night from the shore opposite the Hot wells, and stuck over, *9 face of itjJ wftti lamp* and down to the very water’s edge! and even see this at Clifton, and you see nothing; for the liver at Clifton is nothing. If you could have watched the view here—its gradual develop ment from the beginning, the flash ing up one after another, of the lights on the different quarters of the town, as the dusk of the evening deepened into darkness, the bright glare of the lamps and tapers upon the white yel low houses, relieved, but not sadden ed, by the free mixture of green (the favorite color here for shutters and window blinds) or varying into a thousand different tints, with every successive gust of wind, upon the trees in the courts and gardens of the city, which are seen as fully here from below, (lying on the belly of the hill) as those of London would be (in a bird's eye view) from an eminence! And then in the midst of all this array of tapers, and lamps and torches, to see the moon suddenly bursting out, and throwing her cold white light across the flickering, yellow blaze of the candles—dazzling with a reflection from glass windows in one place—breaking the rocks, convents and churches into strange irregular shadows in another. And all this de licious scene of fairy splendor and confusion—these lighted palaces, and these gardens and statues, and run ning fountains—the whole of this gRy tissue of bizarrerie and brilliancy, running from such a height, that the lights of the topmost buildings seem ed to mix with the very stars, right down to the river’s edge, and reflected in the waters of the Tagus. All this, Robert—conceive itf But no, you cannot conceive it, without any of the English accompaniment (by patent) to a fete. With very lit tle riot, very little accident, still less of quarrel, and no intoxication at all. Ah, think how ebulliant the shoemak ers of London would have been on such a night, and what computations of damage and holding to bail and bindings over to prosecute ! what set tlings of broken windows and com pounding for bloody noses, would have occupied the police magistrates for three days after! Ah! nous autre Anglois! Never tell me, sir, of the Irishman who flung himself out of the tree for joy; if he had been an Eng lishman, he would have shown his satisfaction by throwing out his next- door neighbor. Newspapers and Parties in the Past, Stick to Democracy. All our people who were living be fore the war, and were old enough to comprehend the condition of public affairs as they existed then, remember with what interest they received and read the masculine, intrepid, and oft en bitter newspaper contests of op posing parties. Men’s passions and interests were deeply involved in the opposing political dogmas, sometimes to the extent of mutual distrust, re volting effrontery, and personal vio lence. But few now live who partici pated in the political wars of the old Clark and Crawford parties continued by the Clark and Troup parties, rand in a great decree transmitted to the Whig and Democratic parties. After this was opened the great drama of the North and South on constitution al rights, with the question of slavery maddening both sections and leadirtg to the murderous echoes of war and dark streams of blood in almost every section of the land. When the light ning oeased, we, of the South, found ourselves on the crumbling edge of ruin, but after the dark days of re construction, however the southern peojfle may have believed their rights were trampled upon, they accepted the situation. We have ardently hoped that nothing would retard Southern progress to a higher prosperity than was ever known before, and have a hope, equally as ardent, that our peo ple will not be for many years divided in political sentiments into parties as they were in the olden time referred to. The South cannot afford to make such aohange as that. As a unit as we have been, we have been deprived of holding the reins of power for twenty five years* and the election of Mr. Cleveland, principally by southern votes, shows the weakness of Democracy in the North. We cannot tell what effect prohibition may have in weakening Democracy in the South. Kepublr cans—we do not say all—look to pro' hibition to divide our strength. It is possible that prohibition may weaken our political power. Our plan is to maintain our Democratic strength. Bat if Southern Democrats vote for prohibition candidates foi* governors and members of congress they will be gradually weaned from Democracy and to that extent our power will be lessened. If Democrats become pro hibition candidates for governors and members of congress in the South, and can be elected, it will plaee the party in a cloud-encumliered position. It is true that Democrats may vote for prohibition for the counties and states in which they live, without en tering it into elections as a political power. We hope at least they will go no farther than that, and stick to Democracy as the sheet anchor of our political safety. ■awed Si* Life Mr. D. L.

Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with a will, do it with your might, put your whole soul into it, stamp it with your own personality.

THE PRESIDENT HANDLES THEM WITHOUT GLOVES. President Cleveland's first New Year’s reception will be a memorable one to all who attended it. The birth day of 1886 was as bright and mild here as May. The most perfect New Year's day ever known in Washing ton, was the usual comment. The President pleased everybody with his cordiality and good humor. He wore a Prinee Albert coat, black necktie and standing collar, but no white kid gloves, no gloves of any other kind. He showed no fatigue over his task of four hours of handshaking, and after the official reception had closed, aud the public was passing through the parlors, I noticed that he grasped the hand of the drayman or the colored brother as respectfully and kindly as he had that of Queen Victoria's rep resentative. There was no marked degree of simplicity at the reception, but on the contrary, it was a very brilliant and delightfnl affair. It was quite as imposing as any of its predecessors, aud in point of some details for the comfort and convenience of all, it was an improvement upon them. Half an hour before the reception began, the Marine band, which furn ishes the music for State occasions, was stationed in the large vestibule, with its music stands and polished instruments. The newspaper corres pondents also were there early, stroll ing through the State apartments and noting the decorations. The parlors were fragrant with flowers and lighted with hundreds of gas jets. The chan deliers were festooned with garlands of suiilax, there were baskets of cut flowers on the tables, and potted flowers and tropical plants were grouped upon the mantels and win dow sills, and massed in nooks and corners. When the band struck up “Hail to the Chief,” the receiving party descen ded slowly to the Blue Rooih, and took their positions in line. Mrs. Bayard came down leaning on the President's arm. Miss Cleveland was attended by Secretary Bayard. Sec retaries Manning, Whitney, Endicott, and Postmaster-General Vilas came with the other Cabinet ladies. These gentlemen, excepting Mr. Bayard, re tired to the rear of the Blue Room, where they remained most of the time during the reception, looking on the procession of callers, and chatting in groups with the young ladies by whom they were joined. Among them were noticed the Misses Tilden, neices of Samuel J. Tilden. who are guests of Secretary Manning. The Secretary of State took a posi tion at the left of the President and introduced to him the Diplomatic corpse (Corps,) for, bear it in mind, diplomacy is a memory of past, ages and of effete systems of polity. 11 has no legitimate place in this day of printing presses, telegraphs, and ocean cables, when Kings and Cabi nets and Presidents learn State secrets from the newspapers long be fore they are matured in their own councils. Why does not civilization shake off this fine old antique, use less, and expensive heritage? The foreigners had congregated in the Red parlor and were ready for reception. Portugal. Italy, England, France, Belgium, China, Austria, Mexico, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, Spain, Peru, Germany, the U. S. Columbia, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ecuador and Venezuela were represented aud said “Happy New Year” and good wishes to the President in broken Eng lish and French. Some of the Diplo mats came to the White House in special court attire, with a profusion of gold lace and sashes and badges and stars and crosses upon their pad ded chests. They imssed on to the great East Room where they lingered awhile, being reinforced by the Supreme Court, Senators and Representatives, various other high officials and an imposing array of Army and Navy officers, three hundred strong, in their full uniforms, with their gold braid and fringe and epaulettes. The room furnished an open field for the dis play of all this brightness and great ness. Here was a Congrass of Na tions, and a scene at once variegated, interesting, and brilliant. But I have not toki you how the ladies were dressed, or how they bowed and smiled to their New Year callers. No, I will not descend to any thing so frivolous as coiffures, laces and train*. Let it suffice to say that the President’s assistant receivers were gracious in manner 'and au fait of attire, and that the social debut of the new Administration was satisfac tory to its friends.

It is a remedy of sterling mer it.—Ed. L. Crosly, Nashville, Tenn. The Hero of Tahentum.—Pitts burg, Jan. 3.—A desperate attempt to burn down the town of Tarentum, Pa. was made this morning. Several buildings were destroyed. The vil lains had taken every precaution to make the destruction sure. They had cut the ropes of the two alarm bells, broken the principal pumps in the village and carried off the fire buckets and tubs. The cries of fire aroused a lad named William Dibbell, an employee of a large planing mill, upon which was a bell. He ran to the mill, and upon finding the bell rope cut climbed to the roof and soun ded the alarm by striking the bell with a hammer. This awakened the entire community, who turned out en masse aud soon extinguished the flames. About two weeks ago there was an attempt made to burn the vil lage down. The mistake went the rounds that there was no living ex-vice President in the country. David R. Atchison, of Missouri, who was elected by the Senate Vice-President in 1853, upon the death of Vice-President William R. King, is still living. Mr. King of Alabama, was on the ticket with Gen. Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, for Vice-President, and he died with out ever taking his seat as Vice-Pres ident. \ ice President Wheeler, put in office with Hayes, is living in the State of New York.

He had been missing for several weeks. He lived on bad terms with his wife. He was heard to say he intended to go and drown himself, but as ho camo and said the water was too cold, nothing more was thought of it. It was supposed he had left the place, but as his body was found upon turning off the wa ter from the first level of the canal, it is believed he committed suicide. His friends aro congratulating Mr. Bryan Cummiug on his election as one of the Board of Commissioners in Summerville.
