•firm mjittery ol the missing aeronauts
is Boivcu st last. TL~ body cf young
Grimwood, * the companion of Prof.
Donaldson, was found last week on the
shores of Lake Michigan, rendering
quite certain that both were lost in the
fearful gale which swept over the lake
on the night of their Hastened as
cension.
England is the first foreign nation to
begin bnilding operations for the Oen<
tennial exhibition. The English com
missioners have broken ground for four
buildings. The Japanese commissioners
are similar preparations, and
structures for Sweden and Moroooo will
soon be commenced. Austria desires a
space of 32,000 square feet in the main
building, and. about 21,000 in the art
gallery.
J. H. MoViokeb, who has been with
Edwin Booth since his reosnt aooident
at Cosoob, Conn., writes of the invalid
All fear of bad results, we hope, have
passed, as no dangerous symptoms have
appeared. He will need the utmost
quiet for some ten days yet, to allow
the ribs to knit, then he will be able to
walk about with his arm in a sling, and
must trust to to time for perfect oure.
Emm db Gibardin says Bismarck is
in a bad fix, and wants another big war,
so as to divide up and gets big slice
of Europe. Now he thinks it much bet
ter for France to join hands with the
powerful chancellor, in order to share
the spoils, Vim to be out and eaten by
him. He therefore advises France to
give up all hope of getting back Alsaoe
and Lorraine, and to become thoroughly
reconciled with Germany, as Austria
became with Italy after the latter recap
tured Lombardy and Venioe,
all hands as the result of impartial and
conscientious labor. He has utterly
refused to accept say compensation for
his service, *iu»^ngi> ih* eougrassas of
tire two countries hate made provision
for his'remuneration.
Caruth, the Vineland editorial celeb
rity with a bullet in his brain, is not
getting along as well as usual. He is
half blind, and has to be led about.
Sanders, who shot Caruth, wants to
settle with him, but he does not put up
enough money. Caruth wants not li
than $60,000. Sanders has separated
from his wife sinoe the shooting affair,
and both men by that fatal pistol shot
have been made about as miserable
as mortals can beoome.
The little mare Lulu, that came so
close upon Goldsmith Maid’s fastest
time at Buffalo, has shown astonishing
speed and enduranoe at the races at
Rochester. She won the free-for-all
raoe, after a heroio oontest, in very fast
time, making three heats in 2:161,2:161,
and 2:17, the fastest three conseoutive
heats ever trotted. Goldsmith Maid, in
the first heat of the raoe, made 2:151,
under .a strong pull from the distance
pole.
The New York.Bulletin says: "There
are a good many southern and western
merchants in the markets, and the lead
ing dry kuous jobbers arc busily en
gaged in forwarding well assorted stocks
of merchandise to remote sections of
theoonntry. The indications are that
the demand for goods from southern
buyers will be larger than for several
previous years, while the outlook in
other respects is favorable to a more
spirited general trade during the in
coming nionth.”
The American and Mexican Claims
commission have but twelve cases left
to dispose of. Over two hundred are,
however, still in the banks of Sir Ed
ward Thornton, the umpire. It will re
quire some time to oomplete their ex
amination, as Sir Edward is very thor-
engb. His decisions are respected on
The funeral of Hans Obrisiain Ander
Hon was held in th* Fran-Eirche, Copen
hagen, on the 11th, The king sad other
members of the royal family, with the
ministers and chief officers ox the gov
ernment, assisted. Deputations came to
the funeral from all parts of the king
dom. In the cathedral were representa
tives of the public bodies, state and
municipal, the diplomatic corps, the
faculty and students of the university,
workmen's societies, members of the
press, indnding several conneoted with
American journals, and an immense con
gregation of oitizens, who filled every
part of the edifice, The day was made
one of national mourning throughout
Denmark.
Speaking of the Duncan & Sherman
failure, the United State Economist
says :
The long delay in oovering the let
ters of credits issued to American trav
elers struck a blow at the financial
reputation of out banks from whioh
they will be slowjto recover. There is
a general conviction that the time has at
length arrived for a departure from the
present usage on this subjeot. These
bills should be covered by cotton and
grain, the same as other kinds of drafts.
As matters now stand the holders of
American letters of oredit are wholly at
the mercy of the bankers. In England
and the continent of Europe there is
each a hostile feeling to American firms
that they will no longer tonoh any of
their securities.
Pbepabations for the issue of silver
coin in place of fractional currency are
in aotive progress at the treasury de
partment. Secretary Bristow thinks it
will be neoessary to sell two hundred
and fifty millions of five per oent, bonds
for the purchase of currency, in addition
to one hundred millions already sold.
This will add materially to the interest-
bearing debt, bnt it will give the pnblio
something tangible in the way of money
—something that has not been known
for fifteen years. There is, however,
some donbt as to the authority of Sec
retary Bristow to sell these bonds. He
olaims the right to do so, and is sup
ported by Senator Sherman, but there
are other good lawyers who hold that he
has no power to sell more five per cents
than enough to make up the amount of
the issue prescribed by law—$500,000,-
000. As there areonly $87,000,000 of
the amount issued, there may be some
rouble over the matter.
The Hermann monnment festival
commenced at Detmoid, Ang. 16, with
the reoeption of Kaiser Wilhelm, the
Grown Priaoe of Germany, and Prinoe
Carl, of Prussia, who were attended by
numerous suite. Daring the day
there also arrived the Duke of Saxe
Meningen, Prinoe Frederick Faenther,
of Sohwarzbnrg Rudolstadt, representa
tives bearing colors of all the German
, states, srd msuy hands of mnsie.
Tlicro was a great 'procession all day
long of peasants, ministers and students.
Fifty thousand people were without
beds, and slept as best they oenld. The
streets were beautifully draped with
flags and evergreens. The oollosal statue
of Hermann was unveiled before an im
mense concourse of people. The Em
peror William and other distinguished
visitors proceeded at noon to Monnt
Grothenbnrg, where the monnment to
Hermann is erected, when theoeremony
of unveiling was performed, in presenoe
of 15,000 spectators. The Superintend
ent, Gen. Hoppen, delivered a historical
address, and Privy Councillor, Preose
made the inaugural oration.
The Hext Duty.
This is an epoch of elevators. We do
not climb to our rooms in the hotel; we
ride. We do not reach the upper stories
of Stewart's by slow and patient steps;
we are lifted "there. The Simplon is
crossed by a railroad, and steam has
usurped the place of the Alpenstock on
the Rhigi, The elimb which nsed to
give us health on Monnt Holyoke and a
beautiful prospect, with the reward of
rest, is now purchased for twenty-live
cents of a stationary engine.
If our efforts to get onr bodies into
the sir by machinery were not comple
mented by oar efforts to get onr lives up
in the same way we might not find much
fault with them; but, in truth, the ten
dency everywhere is to get up in the
world witimnt climbing. Yearnings af
ter the Infinite are in the fashion. As
pirations for eminence—even ambitions
for usefulness—are altogether in ad
vance of the willingness for the neoes
sary preliminary discipline and work.
The amount of vaporing among young
men and young women who desire to do
something which somebody else is doing
—something far in advance of their
present powers—is fearful and most
lamentable. They are not willing to
climb the stairway; they must go up in
an elevator. They are not willing to
scale the rooks in a walk of weary hours,
under a broiling snn; they would go up
in a car with an umbrella over then:
beads. They are unable or unwilling
to recognize the fact that, in order to
do that very beantifnl thing which some
other man is doing, they most go slowly
through the discipline, through the ma
turing processes of time, through the
patient work whioh have made him
what he is and fitted him for his sphere
of life and labor. In short, they are
not willing to do their next dnly and
take what comes of it.
No man now standing on an eminence
of influence and power, and doing great
work, has arrived at his position by go
ing np in an elevator. He took the
stairway, step by step. He climbed the
rooks, often with bleeding hands. He
irepared himself by the work of olimb-
ng for the work he is doing. He never
accomplished an inch of his elevation
5 ’ standing at the foot of the stairs
th his month open and longing.
There is no " royal road ” to anything
ijood—not even to wealth. Money
ibat has not been paid for in life is net
wealth. It goes as it comes. There is
no element of permanenoe in it. The
man who reaches his money.jn an ele
vator does not know how to enjoy it :so
it is not wealth to him. To get a high
position without climbing to it, to win
wealth without earning it, to do fine
work without the discipline necessary
to its performance, to be famous, er
useful, or ornamental without prelim
inary cost, seems to be the universal de
sire of the yonng. Th6 children would
begin where the father leaves off
What exaotly is the secret of tone suc
cess in life? It is to do, withont flinch
ing, and with otter faithfulness, the
duty that stands next to one. When a
man has mastered the duties around
him he is ready for those of a higher
grade, and he takes natnrally one step
upward, Whenhehasmaateredtheduties
of the new grade he goes on otimbing.
There are no surprises to the man who
arrives at eminence legitimately. It
is entirely natural that he should be
there, and he is as much at home there,
and as little elated, as when he was
working patiently at the foot of the
stairs. There are heights above him,
and he remains hnmble and simple.
Preachments are of little avail, per-
ids; bnt when he comes in contact
with so many men and women who put
aspiration in the plaoeof perspiration,
and yearning for earning, and longing
for labor, he is tempted to say to them:
" StoD looking np. and look aroond you! i
Do the work that first comes to your
hands, and do it well. Take so upward
step until you oome to it natnrally, and
have won the power to hold it. The
top, in this little world, is not so very
high, and patient climbing will bring
yon to it ere yon are aware.”
AFTER A WHILE-
BT HAST BADCUm BUTLER,
After a while le a beautiful day—
The t torn will be ended end brighter tbe-ena
Tne weerineee over, the teek win be done,
Some eweet thing it coming to every one,
e wbl.e.
after i
After a while is a prosperous dey;
Then we shall hare all the wisdom we need ;
Oar earnest endeavors shall always succeed,
Till every ideal expanda to a deed,
After a while.
After a while is an affluent day.
When our fugitive treasure shall be all secure,
And we shall forget tbst we ever weie poor,
When patience shall blossom and friendship en
dure,
After a while.
Af er a while la a halcyon day,
When .he love we have lavished our bosoms shall
bless:
Then (ball be true every hand that we press,
The hearts we confide in, the lips we caress,
After a while.
After a while, tie a merciful day.
Filled with ail comfort and free from all fear.
And thrilled with all love. Ah I if only twas dear
What the day of the month and the month of the-
year,
After a whi e.
After a while Tie a far-away time;
For now, while impatiently counting, I see
’Tie not in the calender open to me,
80 It muat be in God’s, in tbs Ilfs teat’s to be,
After a while.

Mb. Geobge Hilliard, of Boston,
gives us words of gold in the following
extract: "loonfess,” says he, "that
) increasing years brings with them an
i Increasing respect for mss who do nnf
Succeed is life, as those words a *e com
monly used. Heaven has been said to
be a place for those who do not sneoeed
open earth; and it is surety true that
celestial graces do not best thrive and
bloom in the hot blaze of worldly pros
perity. Ill success sometimes arises
from a superabundance of qualities in
themselves good—from a conscience too
sensitive, a taste too fastidious, a self-
forgetfulness too romantic, a modesty
too retiring. I do not go so far as to
say with a living poet that * the World
knows nothing of its greatest men,’bnt
there are forms of greatness, or at least
of excellence, whioh ‘die and make no
signthere are martyrs that miss the
palm bnt not the stake; heroes withont
the laurel, and conquerers without the
crown,”
