MfMBER 34:
reputation.
Reputation and ambition, are closely
jUied to each ether. Both are members
0 f tb* same family, and one is the nat
ural consequent of the other. To lose
on6 i y 0n must necessarily lose the oth
er; and, to obtain one, yon must first
be'possessor of the other. Reputation
ja tlie reward of ambition; it is, in other
words, the prize or stimulus which ex-
ettes and arouses in the breast of men
that great and powerful passion. Since
reputation is the reward that awaits the
enbitous, we cannot marvel or wonder
it finding so many ambitioos men.
fiat, there are two kinds of ambition
iofi as they bear such a close relation
to oor subject, it would perhaps, be
better to briefly notice them.
Perhaps, it was not the real, the true
ambition that inspired the hope of a
great reputation within the breast of
the Protector, since we have upon rec
ord, from the lips of a man, who-hud
eonnded the lowest depths of its glory,
the ‘words,—* ‘Cromwell, I charge thee
fling away ambition.” Doubtless, how
ever, the great cardinal, himself, had
realized, through a dreadful experience
that the ambition -that had inspired him
was not the true, the laudable one; and
ere that time, perhaps, it had been un-
mletably proven to him, that he had
been laboring under a terrible and, an
aimost, fatal delusion. .Be, deeply con
scious of the mistake he had made, and
smarting under the degradation, which
was but the evil consequence of the fa
tal error he had committed, exclaimed
with all the bitterness and sarcasm of
which bis soured and injured nature was
capable—‘‘I charge thee fling away am
bition.” Probably, it was the convic
tion that an error of the same kind had
been {committed that led the great
French stateman to say that “The rep
utation of a man is like his shadow—
gigantic when it precedes, and pigmy
in its proportions when it follows. He
bad doubtless followed the promptings
of a false ambition, and the reputation
be bad acquired, as his reward, was not
what he anticipated or expected. Men
ire often lured by the whisperings of,
what they conceive to. be ambition.
Few, indeed are those who possess the
tree, the laubable ambition.
Now, as there are two kinds of ambi
tion the tree and the false, there must,
of necessity, be two kinds of reputation.
The man who is led oa by false ambi
tion, as the natural result, obtains, as
bis reward, a false reputation. He is
not satisfied and £cardinal-like, he is
charging every one to fling away ambi
tion. He has by pnrsucing this ambi
tion, reached, whut he supposed to be,
height of human greatness: but, all of a
Hidden bo descends even lower than
where ho commenced. His reputation
was not worth much,—it was not what
lie bargained for,'and now in this de
grading position he is terribly remind
ed of the great truth that the Sybil en
deavored to impress npon the mind of
ineas,—’’Dejcmwiw Averni Facile-Esl. ’
Trbe ambiton’lead a ns to a true repu
tation—a reputation that when once ob-
hined, there will, be no danger of los
ing and the ambition that leads to snch
a reputation is the true, the laudable,
u ambition that is not the mere gratifi-
citionjof one’s selfish cravings and de
nies
Let every one encourage and foster
Lis ambition, bnt let ns no more Oharga
znother fling to it away.
— Talleyrand.
An Old ConfjSdebate’s Habd Fob
HjNes.—The Clifton (Tenn.) Bulletin of
Tuesday says: “We had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. Robert Williams, an
old Confederate soldier, a member of
the Eight Mississippi Regiment, who
was withj General Lee at tho fight at
Gettysburg, and, with his brother, was
severely wounded. After the sorrens
der they went to Brazil, in company
with a number of Southern people, Jand
be informs ns that all who went have
returned that coaid possibly do so, and
tbat there are some who never will be
*ble to get back. His description of
*be people, country and bis trials was
ray interesting. His brother and ancle
both died in Rio Janeiro, lost fall, of
Jellovr fever, and he had a siege of it,
bat pulled through. He came from
ro to Matamoras on a Coffee brig.
On landing, on -United -States soil he
©we three cheers in expression of.his
•piness on being able to say that he was
10 * 'white man’s country once more.’
He ako informs ns that he was a native
^ Tennessee, born at Nashville, and
traveled all the way from Matamor-
**ou foot, and was expecting to meet a
Ollier who lives near Nashville. ’’
A REMINISCENCE OF NIAGARA
I remember when I was bat a boy
that a man got into the rapids here,
having been carried down in a boat,
which was broken to pieces, He had
the good fortune to be dashed on a rock
to *rbich he clang. It was at its height
of the season—August, if I recollect—
and he clung there for fully thirty-six
hoars. Everybody streamed oat of the
hotels and the village; the banks of the
river, particularly on this side, were
thronged with people anxious to do
something to save him. Dozens of
plans were suggested; some attempted,
bat they all failed.
Thousands of dollars were offered to
anybody who would rescue him. The
desperate situation of the man had been
telegraphed over the conntry and every
train bronght crowds of passengers
hither to witness it with theiriown eyes,
He was encouraged by their shonts
from the banks, but whether he could
understand anything said is doubtful.
The world [s said to be sympathetic.
It is, or it appears to be, Unsympathet
ic, because the object for which sympa
thy is asked is abstract. When it is
tangible, visible, all is changed. There
was an exemplification. This poor
wretch could be seen. He was an ordi
nary, uneducated man; bnt he was a
man, and the brotherhood and sister
hood of the race went ont to him in pity
and intense eagerness tq rescue him.
Women of fashion, blase club men,
selfish worldlings grew pale as they
watched the unhappy wretch, so vivid
was the sympathy. Manj persons sat
up all night looking across the seething,
rorrrag waters at the small, dark figure,
still clingiDg to the rock. The mor
ning came; renewed efforts were made,
but they all miscarried. The crowd
had increased; it was immense. Ev-
erbody was excited. Tears-were in the
women’s eyes; the pallor gleamed
through the rouge of some of their
cheeks. Can’t something bo done?
Must the poor fellow perish before our
faces? Is there no way to rescue him?
Such questions were asked, but, alas,
no reply could be given. The man had
good courage and great strength. He
clnng to the rock with a desperation of
a dying soul. To lose his hold was to
be dashed over the cataract. Appara
tus and contrivances arrived from Buf
falo.
New experiments and new failures.
Hoarse shonts still rang across the rap
ids to hold on—to be of good heart.
The stoutest heart' that ever throbbed
could not-gripe that rock forever. It
was wonderful how he had endured.
A fresh idea had came to the minds of
half a dozen mechanics. They were la
boring to throw ont a hawser; every
muscle wa? strained; every eye was
bent upon their work. Suddenly the
man slipped away. He was exausted;
he threw up his arms; he dashed tow
ard the cataract. A low groan ns from
one breast, quaked through the throng;
the thousands shivered with terror.
A black object for a moment longer
in the hell of the waters, and then dis
appeared forever. There was an agoDy
of relief. No one moved; no one spoke
for awhile. All looked in the direction
where the figure had been swallowed
np. It was the enchantment of terror;
it was the chill of tragedy distinctly
wrought which froze every one for the
moment to the spot. The old resident—
he has lived there forty years—says
that on an aveiage about six persons
are carried over the falls every year,
and that four out of the six are wholly
or partially intoxicated, and lose their
lives by carelessness or reckneessness in
rowing above the rapids, going beyond
the line of danger. Bnt for liquer not
more than two lives, he says, would be
lost annually.—Niagara Later to St
Louis Globe-Betsocrat.

Rees as Firebugs.—The village of
-Marshallton, in Pennsylvania, was late
ly destroyed by fire. The fire was the
work, it is supposed, of an incendia
ry—coal oil was found in a jointer’s
shop among some shavings, which had
fnilofl to ignite. The disastrous spread
of the tire, however, rather due to acci
dent than design. At the outbreak of
the conflagration in apiary took fire and
twelve hives of infuriated bees, proba-
75,000 to 100,000 in number, were turn
ed adrift amongst the citizes working
to put out the fire. The result was that
everybody was stung, routed and put
to flight, and the people who persisted
is trying to save their prorerty were
bunged up and by the vicious little in
sects, so that that they had to retire
nilly-willy.
A Congressman Not Allowed to
Preach.—Rev. Mr, De La Matyr at
tended the Chestnut Street Methodist
church Sunday afternoon, and some of
the prominent members desired to have
the reverend gentleman preach. A
council of trustees'and officials was
held, and while some of them were in
favor of listening to the words of wis
dom as they fell fom the gentlemans
lips, a majority were, opposed to his
preaching, thinking it might exert
bad influence, Rev, Mr. De La Matyr
has been a minister of the gospel thirty
years, and says this is the first lime he
g. . yeui
oj a °. an5 sting, and a fly trouble has ever refused a Methodist pulpit.
Patience. —Portland Argus.
A SINGULAR CAMP-MEETING
Methodists and Spiritualists are at
war in the Langsberg woods, twenty
miles from Philadelphia* The rival
camp-meetings are two miles apart,
One morning last week five men and
women from the spiritualist fold pres
ented themselves before the Methodist
preachers. “We offer you greeting,
they said, “and have come to say that
if you will allow some of 'our speakers
to occupy your pulpit, we on the other
hand, will be glad to welcome some of
your ministers to our rostrum.” The
preachers gasped for breath when this
proposal was submitted. Elder Chap
lain was the first to reply, and, in very
plain terms, expressed his opinion that
the proposition was not one to be en
tertained. Then pastor Sisty asked for
a spiritualist declaration of principle 8 ,
and the request being complied with,
he took a cursory glance at its pages.
This done he exclaimed, with indigna
tion, “This settles the question of our
affiliation with. you. You haye no
Christ, no atonement, no repentance,
no new birth, no reserrectiqo, no judg-
mnat, no hell. Yon allow every man to
think as he pleases. No; we have no
place for such as yon.” During the
discussion several hundred of the camp-
followers had gathered around, com
pletely encircling the delegation.
“Let us pray before you depart,” sug
gested a minister, and crowd went
down on its knees. The delegation tried
to move, bnt there was no egress, and
they remained standing. Then one of
the brethren began to pray. “Bring
down tHoly Ghost npon these visitors,”
he supplicated, and the audience re
sponded with “Amen;” “Glory to God;”
Come, Lord Jesus,”, - and ejaculations.
JVhen the prayer was ended the aud
ience rose and the delegation lost no
time moving away. Before they had
gone many steps the strains of the Old
Hundred hymn from a thousand voices
broke on their ears.—Exchange.
* THE STATE FAIR.
’Phe arrangements for the State Fair
in Mucon go steadily forward, .and the
constantly improving prospects are grat
ifying to those in charge of the enter
prise. There are frequent inquiries
from all parts of the southern portion of
ttie State in regard to the Fair, showing
the deep .interest felt in its prospect
all over that'portion of Georgia. The
turf sports at this fair will be unsurpass
ed byHhose of any of the faifs which
have been given, and a large number of
elegant stock from the North and' the
West will step proudly over our mag
nificent track. Among the horses
which will in all probability be on hand
may be mentioned the following Norlh
Carolina horses: Santucky, Ora B„
Lady Goldsmith, Mollie G., Lula, and
Mechienburg. The first four are Abdnl
Korees’ colts and the plane’ts. Abdnl
Koree’s time as a tbree-year old, in a
four mile heat has, we understand, nev
er been beaten, and some very fast time
may be expected from the North Caro
lina thoroughbreds. These horses have
left Charlotte and are now in training
at Oglethorpe Park, at Atlanta. They
will come after the fair at that place to
the State fair in Macon.—Macon Tele

SIR
GARNFT WOOLSET
GEN ROBT. E LEE.
AND
The following is an extract from the
last letter from “Mont,” the Paris cor-
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquir
er:
At this moment the eyes of Europe
are turned toward the great army com
mander in ZuIulandL Daring “our lit
tle war” this officer was a guest with
Gen. Robt E. Lee. I knew him then.
I have met him since. The last time I
met him I asked him where his head
quarters would bein South Africa. “Not
in the saddle,” he replied, with a smile,
and the suggestive - quotation revived
our recollections of persons and events in
the past that gave ns much mirth of
criticism. We talked over the cam
paigning in the South, and Sir Garnet
said: “Do yon know that the armies
of Europe have learned some great les
sons from General Lee? I think ho was
the greatest General of his age; yes,
perhaps of any age; and my o rn opin
ion is that the north, though not very
proud of him, will soon come to look
upon General Lee with as much pride
as the people of the South, and both be
glorified of the great American Gener
al, from whom much of modern strate
gy has grown into rules of war.” I note
as coming from the first soldier of Great
Britain, if not of Europe, and at some
future day I may add further remarks
on the Generals who were opposed to
Gen. Robt E. Lee. and whose-military
abilities European officers have carefully
noted.
Tire Republican managers who lay
much stress on the presence of Confeds
erate Brigadiers in Congress will be
pained-to leam that General Joe John
ston is disgusted with politics, and in
tend to retire to private life at tha end
of his present Goneressional term.
The recent rains have saved the
North Carolina tobacco crop. Reports
state there will be within twenty per cent
of that of last year.

A Wonderful Pendulum.
W. W. LeGrande, of Louisville, in a
communication to lhe Scientific Ameri
can, gives the following description of a
simple device for indicating the rotation
of the earth on its axis:
.“I secure a large permanent magnet
to the ceiling of a room or a steady tri
pod, and from it suspend a wooden pen
dulum rod of any length, having at the
top a cone-shaped tip of soft iron, which
is tamed to a smooth, rouhd. point to
allow it to swing freely in any direc
tion. To the lower end of the rod is
hang a ball of one-half the weight re
quired to pall the rod from the magnet.
This pendulum, once set in motion, will
swing in the same plane for thirty hours.
By placing a dial under the pendulum
the apparent charge in tbe plane of os
cillation of the pandulnm may be observ
ed. However, this change of position
is not in reality in the pendulum, bnt
m the dial, which is moved under the
pendulum while the latter preserves its
plan of motion. Placed at the poles,
th's simple instrument would indicate
fifteen degrees per hour,which is exnctlo
the rate of the earth’s rotation. In this
latitude it would indicate an honrly mo
tion of nine degrees forty-seven min
utes. With this simpleinstrument, which
any ordinary mechanic can construct at
asmall cost, the movement of the earth
may be clearly demonstrated in fifteen
minutes,
A Trance of Nine Weeks.
The physicians of this city are much
interested, and the public generally
greatly exercised, over a singular in
stance of suspended consciousness—the
case of a young lady who has lain in a
trance for nine weeks. The case has
been much talked of for weeks,
but up to this time the papers have re
frained from giving general publicity to
it through their columns. The young
lady in question has for weeks lain in a
comatose state, and for a month was
apparently asleep. After this period
her slumbers appeared to be distnrbed,
her face at times becoming greatly con
torted, and her hands gesticulating
wildly. Her eyes became wide open,
her countenance betrayed no intelligence
or conseousness. Her condition np to
the present writing remains unchanged,
and the doctors are still watching the
case with a nxiety. They have great dif
ficulty in affording-the patient sufficient
nourishment-, and have resorted to al
most every method of introducing food
into the stomach. They pronounce the
case a phase oi hysteria, and that it will
not necessarily prove fatal.—Norfolk
Virginian.
“We are informed,” says the Augus-
to News, “that a few days since a young
man living in an adjoining county,
while out squirrel hunting with his fa
ther, was bitten just above the ankle by
a large rattlesnake. He'immediately
shot and killed the snake; and being
some distance from borne,- he appealed
for help to his father, who promptly
applied his mouth to the wound and
sucked it with great tore, repeating the
operation several times—By this means
the deadly virus was so effectually ex
tracted that no sickness or swelling en
sued.”
