The days of sudden inspiration are passed. .Successful results ore tlie outcome of pains-taking labor. The successful men ore those who do not wait for “luck” to come to them. The Chica go Journal illustrates this in what it hi»3 to say of tlie late Emory Storrs: : “Sometimes erratic to outward ap pearances, he was iu reality one of the most industrious meii that ever han dled a case. He woiked early and late when lie had a ease in hand, and bOntrary to tlie notion of aigood many people who knew him only superficial ly, fie was* by no means aii ’‘inspira tional” orator or advocate. His best .efforts were studied. His most telling illustrations were carefully gathered and stored away in his prodigious memory. He was a most assiduous gatherer of “good things,” and he knew* just where and bow to fit them into bis argument. Nothing came to hiui by chance—he knew very well whore;all hie points came from, al though to' the casual hearer of his Cvirruscations of wit they undoubtedly «.-t med sudden flashes of inspiration.

An ?gnoraut man seldom says, “1 don’t know.” No matter if “stump ed,” he will attempt to go around tlie obstruction, rather than confess his In ability to deal with it. Henry Clay used to tell a story which illustrates this eccentricity of ignorance. He said: “While I was abroad, laboring to arrange the terms of the Treatv of Ghent, there appeared a report of the negotiations, and several quotations from my remarks or letters, touching certain points of the treaty, readied Kentucky and. were read by my friends. .“Among, my political friends was a shrewd, ignorant fellow, who went by the^nickname of‘Old Sandusky.’ He was leading one of the letters, one evening, to a small collection of the neighbors. As he read ou, became across the sentence,:— “ ‘This must be deemed a sine qua nonJ (indispensable condition.) “‘What’s a sine qua non busked balf- a dozen by-standers. “ T)kl Sandusky* was a little bother ed, at first, but his natural shrewdness was fully, equal to a mastery of tbe Latin. “ 1 Sine—gna—rum/* said he, repeat ing the question very slowly; ‘why sine qua non is three islands in tlie Passamaquoddy Bay, and Harry' Olay is the last man to give them up! No sine qua noa. no treaty he save: and he’ll stick to it” The explanation was satisfactory, and the reading proceeded.” Hhe will Be His JIother-iu-Lww. Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

About four o’clock outlie afternoon of the second day I was called upon to shave a lieutenant ofartillery, whom I at once recognized as a former citizen of Atlanta.

I had lived in Atlautaa yearpre vious to the war, be- Ing engaged in blackamithing, and I re member that this man—a Mr. Tmyler— was a patron of our shop.

I was In hot water, and the best way out was to leave the camp. I threw my bar ber’s outfit into it ditch, and, assumiug to be jolly drunk, made my way to wards the river. It «as easy enough to pass the camp guards, but the outer pickets and videttes were a different set of men. I-found, too. that the pickets were on the alert, probably having received orders from headquar ters, and as the night shut down the weather changed to a' cold ralu with a north ?yind. My attempt to pass out where I hod come in was a failure. The pickets had been doubled, ami twice i was shot at as I almost ran upon the men. I kept workihg up the stream, hoping all the time to find .an opening, and the weather kept growing eolder. The rain changed to haU and sleet, and by 10 o’clock iny garments were »r a special rap.
