BRUNSWICK ADMflSKR. BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA. TIMELY TOPICS. •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. FACTS AND FANCIES. —A defective memory ^overlooks a multitude of sins. —Mosquitoes must be happy, for they always sing when at work. —When a man tells the naked truth he must give the bare facts. - It is a wise provision of nature that men without brains never feel the need of them. —Dan Rice says he can fail in business every four weeks for a year more and still be happy. —Say what you will against narrow skirts, it is easier for a lady and gentle man to walk under one umbrella than it used to be. Never waste a fly in huckleberry season. One fly in a plate of huokle- berries contains more nutriment than three berries. —Anna Dickinson says " that nothing is so possible as impossibilities.” We knew that oatmeal and fish would act on her in that way. —Come, come! this servant girl heir ess business is getting tiresome. The last ease is in Philadelphia. Amount, $60,000. Stop it. —“Six feet in his stockings 1” ex- olaimed Mrs. Partington. “ Why, Ike only has two in his, and I can never keep ’em darned at that?” — New potatoes are selling at 40 oente a bushel at various points in Pennsyl vania; The supply of potatoes and corn never was so good as now. —The man who took along his over- ooat as he journeyed to Saratoga is a happy man. Streaks of cold call for woolen clothes every day two. —Jay Cook should pffeeed to Dulnth at once. City lots once selling at $800 can now be had at $50 cash and the promise of $25 more sometime or other. To-day yon will please understand that on the ontside of the Blaok Hills is hnng a plaoard similar to the one that adorns a well-regulated billiard saloon. " No minors allowed in here.” -The following toast was given at a Concord cattle show in 1846: "Old Bachelors. Like soar oider, they grow more crabbed the longer they are kept and when they see a little mother, they turn to vinegar at once.” —M. D. Conway tells of a lady in one of the manufacturing towns of Great Britain who reoently had her at tention attracted to the window of a milliner's shop by a beantifnl and very expensive French bonnet, and she in quired the prioe. She was told it was sold. "Oh 11 had no idea of baying such an expensive bonnet,” said the lady; npon whioh the milliner said : "It is a joint-stosk bonnet—that is, it be longs to three factory girls, who wear it by tarns on Sunday.” 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,”
