It is ge erally trseil aa a qualification ol character, and implies that Mr. ijo-aml so is passable, but on the whole don’t amount to much. The terns is aui ad in mini, i bat 'he poor may, by a womierons sir* fell of liberality become respectable* though* in the e»tination of some, poverty is a crime ol uieuoui rnagriitilde, suffijienl to exclude its victims from tlip pile of first-class aoci etv. I his brings up the question as to What is ifspectability. 1' certainly is not conferred by money, though tuouey is a power which ever was and ever will be lcspeeled. Notwithstanding this fact wo find as much tint w dis¬ reputable among lire wealthy a among the poorer classes, taking into consideration (he disparity in numbers of the respective -lasses. The man ot money has this ad vantage—a certain line ot conduct on his part may be con¬ sidered admissible or respectable which in a poor man would be lu»rrible ami damning. In other wards, money, like charity, cov rr» a multitude of faults. .Re¬ spectability is a standard of char¬ acter which should apply tti rich ami poor alike, and conduct which excludes the one from Hie pul« of elegant refined society, should also exclude the oilier. As respectability is an estimate which communities place upon character, all classas are alike entitled to its benefits who strive to be worthy ol them. The day' was when even the negro had a ic of Ilia and lua ap alia in ID far lor. Ue jo vTal and Iigb tells im that he two •pells of nckneaa in Ilia life. Jfctis case is one of the most phenome¬ nal freaks of nature on record, and Hancock’* rich negro would be not lung beside him if he would con-cut to travel. — Warrenton ORppar. f ‘ ! % Keep Some for Home. Why is it that we often treat those we Jove beet with indiffer¬ ence Mi is because we are asliam ed to shew uur Jove, or (hat we think they inual kuow huw we feel toward them and it is un¬ necessary for us to give iheui Ike little aileutiouft that we are care¬ ful lo jpv« lo those for whom we fiavabu) a slight regard. If we only knew how Uequeully we uurt Ike feeling of those whose lappiuess is mors to us than our own happiness, we would weigh well oer actions, or, more proper¬ ty, our lack of acliwn. if we uaye net lime lo do acta of kiud ness and consideration for the general public and our owu lov •d ones, by all the helps lo make ufe wor'b living, let us neglect the general public aud care for those who look to us for happi uess and consideration. When we are away from home, and time is limited for corres¬ pondence, do not give that time to the one whom you fear will be annoyed if you do not write, but to the one who waits lovingly, longingly, for the message of re¬ membrance, aud who, if it does not corns, will invent scores ol excuses for its non-appearance and give no expression to then disappointment. There are souls whose affection, like some flow era, ffourishea under neglect. But many friendship buds ol bright promise have never reach¬ ed maturity because they sen not prised, not cared for ly. But who can tell of the profound contempt for ,- po<»r bu kra,” and judged of a man’s char¬ acter bv the contents of bis pock el book. But (lie aristocracy ol money is well nigh broken down in this country, and it iijw takes more than dollars and ce«ta to make character, the opinions of sycophants and bootlicks to the contrary notwithstanding. Un dei a strict line of analysis re¬ spectability is a rare combination ol Hie elements which enter into symmetrical character, and un¬ der this ruling the number of ’ highly respectable” people in any community is not very large. Neither is hereditary respecta¬ bility in much request in those latter days, since we find as many degenerate sons from no¬ ble sires as from those of less an¬ cestral pretensions. The repu tat ion of the ‘first lainiliea'’ is dy¬ ing out, ami in this present emi¬ nently practical age each indi¬ vidual is the architect of his own fortune. There ueed be no an¬ tagonisms between the rioh and ttie poor, as these classes are mutually dependent upon each other. And while the poor should not desire to wit hold the meed of respectability from a man simply because be has tnon f-y, the rich should be equally ready to concede the worth and merits of his poor Neighbor—Set. ------- --- •<«»■ — ■ ■ .

The Latest Electricity Story. At) unusual and very interest¬ ing phenomenon occurred in this vicinity on Friday last, in the form of an atmospheric tleciric current of considerable power. As observed here the current did not reach the ground, but varied in distance from four to six feel from it. It was first noticed by the peculiar effect it had on hors¬ es and cattle. A buzzing sound was heard from around the ears of the animals—similar to that made by the swarming of bees— distinctly audible at a distance of several feet. Horses and mules threw their heads around in a very •xcited manner, acting as though their ears were ful. of flies. The snapping of electric sparks was also heard. Horses which kept their heads close to the ground wsre not troubled, as the current did not seem to rsaoh down to them. Many teams became fran¬ tic and uncontrollable. One hoine was so frightened that it fell, and tried to creep under its mate for protection. Oxen also bshaved in a very unreasonable and sprightly manner. Farmers were frightened, and hurried to the barn with all possible speed. One man thought his horse had the blind staggers. He accord ingly bled the animal, and re¬ solved “to keep dark about it” until he could make a trade. The amount of tnoky stock in the market about that time was alarming, but there never was so much innocence ameug Spink county farmers before, Finally a brief thunder shower esme up, and the first flash of lightning afforded immediate relief. The , current flowed from west to east, 1 was six or seven miles in width. -Mil waukee Wisconsin.
