Decision is one of the noble
traits of character. fixedness of
purpose to do a thing is'about half
the work necessary to its accom
plishment. The spirit of decision
tolerates no delay. It looks at once
'to the accomplishment of a pnr-r
pose from the first conception
* thereof. It stops not to dally with
possible contingencies that may
interfere, but enters at once upon
;the discharge of the duty that is
before. A man of decision will
enter upon and obtain the achieve-
xnent desired, while the vascilating,
wavering, hesitating *mind is de
bating the question as to whether
'die-task shall be undertaken. This
difference often accounts for the
divergence in “the paths of young
men who have been nurtured un
der similar circumstances and
blessed with like opportunities.
The one decides, acts and moves
onward from success to success;
Vhe other vascillates, hesitates, de
bates with himself, and is, borne
onward upon the current of time
from one failure to another, and
accomplishes nothing.
One difficulty with a great many
boys in the beginning of their
young manhood is want of decis
ion as to what occupation they
.will pursue. To make au honora
ble living, or, it may be, to make
inonfey may be their desire, but
the method by which they propose
to do this is, with them, an unde
termined question. They start
out upon the sea . of uncertainty
with a view of falling into what
ever vocation may present itself..
here is where a great many young
inen make a fatal error iu the very
beginning.
On this, subject “The Watch-
inan” says:
Young men are called upon to
make a selection of .occupation br
calling. Many of them are tempt
ed to go from one thing to another.
Therh is, of course, a right choice.
It is hot always wrong to make
Changes. The spirit in which a
Choice is ihacte Has much to do
With the future usefulness as well
as happiness. It is never a wise
thing to come to soma important
decision iu a moment of vexation
or despondency. A man needs to
be calm and thoughtful and pray
erful when he resolves to give up
his place of occupation for anoth
er. B seause things don’t “go
■well,” or there are difficulties to
iueet, is no reason for change. If
the conviction Comes to a man
while everything is progressing
and he is meeting with encourage
ment, that he should choose some
other line, while he may b9 mista
ken, there is much reason to be
lieve his choice iftay be a wis? one-,
provided be is aware of tk J situa
tion; more SO than for one to
change his whole life work through
a sudden freak or whim arising
out of, possibly; some temporary
difficulty.
A special from New York to the
New Orleans Times-Demoerat says
that the republican campaign fund
Is enormous in amount; that a mild
estimate places it at a total of $1,-
500,000. That.includes Pennsyl
vania’s tremendous contribution
frnm manufacturers, and the S10Q,-
500 just raised-by the Union
League Club in New York.' Tlife
most careful-investigation doss hot
reveal that more than half these
resources will be exhausted before
Election day. The inevitable de
duction is that fraud is intended.—
that a wholesale purchase of votes
has been planned.

factoring it. Should the report of
its reception in Liverpool be favor
able, the one or two mills now en
gaged in the manufacture of the
piue straw bagging will be over
whelmed with orders the balance
of this season, and before the crop
of 1889 is ready for picking, mills
will be established over the south
for its ((manufacture-in all proba
bility enough., to supply the de
mand for the covering of the crop'
of next year. This will be(a great

of preparing the cottoii crop for

millions of? dollars heretofore spent
annually for- jute bagging. It will
establish a new and permanent in
dustry among us, and utilize a ma
terial heretofore deemed worthless,
if not a pest in e,ome places. It is
quite probably too, th'dt' ether
uses will be found for the pine
straw fabric, such as rugs, mats,
and perhaps cheap and coarse car
peting. “Necessity is_the mother
of invention” in this as in many
other cases, and the practicability
of making a strong and light fab
ric out of pine straw .having been
demonstrated, there is no telling
the uses to which it may be ap
plied by further experiments and
improvements.
It will be an act of retributive
justice if the jute bagging manu
facturers and corners have de
stroyed their own business by
their greed and extortions, and it
certainly, looks at present as if this
is just what they have done.
Daniel A. Budd, a yoiing color
ed iiewspaper man who spoke at
the Cincinnati meeting of the
Catholic Yonng Men’s National
Union, said, according to the New
York Siin, that the number of col
ored people in this country who
are “practical Boman Catholics”
is 200,000. at least. Several of
them have been ordained, and sev
eral bright young colored men are
now studying for the priesthood.
The enumeration of the school
p ipulation of the state shows that
the number of children between

This stateiiieut according to the

One of the curiosities found in
Maine is a pine tree near Hallo-

of periodical occurrence and no one
is able to explain it-.
vest, while the people whom he
bleeds suffer justly for that greed
and disregard of principle which
prompted them to support a man
who gained his patronage by un
fair and dishonest means. Any
man who sells any kind of goods
at less than cost, except un
der unusual and temporary condi
tions, is necessarily dishonest, be
cause he must make .up that loss
in some sly way, deceiving his cus
tomers. It is just as wrong to buy
goods below cost as it is to sell
them in that way, for the buyer
encourages and sustains the. seller
in his dishohest practices, and
thus becomes a partaker of guilt.
“What!” says one, “Is it wrong
for me to buy an article at the
price at which it is offered to me?”
Yes, if by that purchase you give
countenance to an unfair or dis
honorable way of doing business.

It is not generally known, but it
is nevertheless true, that the aver
age length of human life is in
creasing. Fifty years ago the av
erage duration of life in Great
Britain wds thirty years, and now
it is forty-nine. This is an in
crease of over 60 per cent in the
average length of life in fifty
years. The change is ascribed to
greater knowledge of the laws of
health and ail improved sanita
tion.

The New York* Evening Post
puhlihed on Wednesday a striking
interview with" Joseph Skeavinton,
of Albion, HI.,-who for many’.years
has heId!.the'position’of.Vice-Pres
ident of the State ;Board of Agri
culture. Mr.( Skeavinton said: “I

Bepubliean’ ticket because litjsuc-
ceeded the Whig party ; ;(but I have
had enough % of) protection. My

raising profitable I,will abandon
the business and raise other stock.
I don’t want some one else taxed
for my benefit. The duty on wool
is legalized robbery, plain and
simple”.
The Post says editorially; “We
have heard a 1 great deal about the
high tariff policy as a peculiarly
American policy.. Where could
one find a better type of Ameri
canism of the old fashioned, self-
reliant sohool which established
this Bepublic(among the nations

Yesterday afternoon a* woman
called at W. J. Wood’s store, on
Whitehall street, to bay a stove.
The proprietor waited on her him
self, andjwas in one of his politest
humors.
“And you;will take 815 for that
stove?” asked the customer. :
“Yes, ma’am, and it is cheap for
the money.”
“You will give a full outfit with
it?”
“Yes, a full and complete out
fit.” .
“Mr. Wood/could you throw in
some cake pans?”
“Yes,-ma’am.”
“And an ash pan?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“And a hearth’broom ?”
“Well—yes ma’am.”
“And a dish pan ?”
“Well, I reckon so—yes, ma’am.”
“And a coal(scuttle?”
“My dear madam, if - you insist
upon it, I.will throw you in a good
cook with the stove, 1 /said the po
lite merchant, land he breathed
easier.
The’customerjteok in the situa
tion, laughed heartily, bought the
stove without the extras, and went
home happy.
The mystery of the so-called
Japan magical mirrors,’so far as
the cause of their reflecting ob
jects that are on the back side of
the mirfor are concerned, appears
to have"yielded to a little pains
taking investigation. They are
thin metal hand mirrors, with
raised figures, on the back of them,
and are casKdf^an alloy of about
eighty parts copper and twenty of
tin, making a very^hard yet elastic
metal. In grinding the mirrors
they are presumably laid on a flat
plate, and the;, grindingjpressnre
and the thick parts, ^opposite the
raised figures, are ground more
rapidly; the. pressure removed,
the plate springs back, and the
mirrors-are concave (where the fig
ures are. The light reflected
from this mirror will show the fig
ures onvthe/back, not from any
magical power, but because of the
concave surface produced over the
figures—the result . of accident
rather than of design.

A man was digging a hole in a
field adjoining Trinity Church,
Margate,. England, when his pick
axe suddenly penetrated a cavity
and fell from his hands. He just
managed to move before the earth
gave way and exhibited a large
subterranean chamber about 12
feet iu height. It was found to
contain a number oi human and
other remains, and there was also
a long underground passage, prob
ably connecting the chamber with
the seashore. .Within a hundred
yards of the spot, there are some
very remarkable smugglers’ caves,
and there is very little doubt that
the present discovery is of an ob
