Ever and anon human nature is vindicating by example itB title to ranch higher respect than it ia in tbo way of earning in tbo ordinary txpe riences of the market places, the bar, the halls of legislation, the camp, •octal life, and, to sum it nil up, in homo life. The pdtry, or rather the commonplace, las no power to cbal lengo human nature to the test of what ia best in it, a trial or a tneaa are of its potenutilities. A mau in ordinary life who would let hie outer n&tare of mere habit betray him into petulance, irritation and perhaps a touch of profanity about minorvexa tione. might prove himself, when fac ed by something awful or terrible in the way of personal disaster, to be the naan of Horace’s model, firm and tenacious of the reins upon himself and immovable in his principles by all that fortune or fate can burl against him. What was there iu poor Conkling’s life to give us an inkling of the infinite importurbahili ty of bis inner man,—his other self in reserve for great occasions? By a more illustrious example the people of today have a dally demon •tration that human naturo >s the grandest entity of all the universe, Frederick William, the present head of the German Hohenzollern family, is o lipsing ail the splendors of bis imperial station by the quality of the soul of the man. But lately induct ed into the honors and powers of the most magnificent heritage that has fallen to the lot of any man of uis age in a century, by the crudest irony of fate he finds more and more convincing proof every day that it is all only a brilliant and brief prelude to the fiorrible tragedy of strangula tion. And yet in this harrowing sit nation, with all the splondore about him only serving to illuminate its horrors, not a word of impatience, repining, or rebellion has fallen from his lips- Ho meets death liko a nn tare's Emperor with calm and se reDe gaze, aud indulges no idle re grets at the prospect of parting with the richest heritage that all the world can give, His reply to his physician who expressed a hope for bis early restoration is the only be trayai of emoliou yet issuoing from him: -“rather hope for my eariy release” But the noblest btquest be loaves the Crown Prince is tbo pathetic but infinitely heroic injunction, “learn to suffer without complaining. That is all that I can now tench thee.” The world’s model of patience for a time immemorial has been the Bib lical character of Job. But that dis tinguiBked capitalist of the East, when he loet_his estates and most of bis family, .rad besides suffered an ex ceediDgly irritating bodily invasion of boils, cnrbuueies and blotches, cursed the day he was born, wishing it forever blotted from tho calendar of time. Nothing like this in any sense has ever been uttered by the kero whom we may call the world's Unner Fritz, as all the world has learned to admire him as sincerely as tbo loyal people of the Faderlaud. That touching example at the tier man palace wdi be appropriated by mankind as a chef d’oeuvre of the he roic in human untnre. It illustrates the truth that human nature can rise superior to the pains, pangs and hor rota of any of the most extreme suf fenogs , . and , misfortunes . , . that , cau pos , sibly combine against a man, and that tbe soul of a man may be supe nor to any and everything terrestrial fortune, or humanity, or nature can do for him or against him. within itself it ia unassailable infinite. That picture p.t Berlin to act as a tonic on the whole race. Mark the antithesis: On the one r.!! ' nt the world can accomplish wealth, power aud magnificence, the entire seen# aglow with halo of a great empire's intense and devotion, and on the other all that fate and fortunecan com into the infinitude of tho very of darkness ' in the mere human aspects of the situation; yet the noble figure of human stands there before nil the serenely superior to both, neitli weakly repining at all that is fated bo lost, nor betraying a tremor of of what is Barely to come. It is gospel to the world, illuminating a as history has rarely, if ever, so illustriously, that there is an potentiality in human nature, every man should learn to re in Limself. EARLY ••CAMPAIGN LIES.” The republican plan about South¬ elections is >ery simple. It is 1st. Attempt to induce the of a State to abandon their by appeals to their selfish 2d. When the State re to be bribed, adheres to its prin and stands by those who have self government against plunderers, to complain of result as “treason to the prisci of liberty and the subversion the rights of a largo class of citi¬ by means that every cilvilized must look on with indignation horror.” Such is the language the York Tribune uses about Louisiana election, without the slightest sug- of proof that any one’s were subverted by any means “Treason to the principles liberty” is Trihuneso for voting Democratic ticket, and, as in the glossary only machine are “civilized,” they “look with indignation and on such a proceeding.” It is time toseiiously inquire how it is that the Republican organ ex¬ pect to impose upon the country by rant, in face of the fact that the election wasperfectly free from violence or intimidation and the voto polled very large. All the news that these organs have pablisb ed about tho contest flatly contra¬ dicts the editorial conclusions they now insincerely advance. To de¬ pend on falsehood for political chances is despicable, but to rely on misstatements on one page that are flatly contradicted by tacts recited on another, is stupid.
