Monroa Advertiser. 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.

Any attempt son to doribt that this new bagging to buy a dollar’s worth of anything -material will be equally acceptable less than a dollar, is almost there.. This is’all that is needed to esWblisli.it as the common bag ging of the/ future. The coarse cotton cloth bagging would no doub answer the purpoe about as well but would cost as much, or nearly sure to end iu floss. When pro fessional service is bought at half price it is very apt to be paid for (all unwittingly,) at double price.

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 bedeficial,economic ckange/or the south-not only cheapening the price of preparing the cottoii crop for market, but. keeping at home the 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 the ages of six and eighteen years has increasd, 52,859 since 1882. This stateiiieut according to the ratio adopted ; by late. Commission er Orr, would make the total in crease in Georgia’s population for the last six years 160,000. One of the curiosities found in Maine is a pine tree near Hallo- well that smokes. A column of vapor as large around as a man’s arm rises from the very top of the tree and extends for several feet into the air. The phenomenon is 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. “When tkoq sawest a thief then thou eonsentedst with him.” . Ps. 50: 18. If you would escape the classification, avoid .the company. Have nothing to do with half- price workers or dealers. “Pay and be paid; live and let live..’ 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. William E. J^igbam, a Boston newspaper man, is spending his honeymoon with his bride in a car riage .drive over the State. According to the Courier-Jour nal, Kentucky has six counties— Harlan, Knott, Perry, Letcher, Bell and Leslie—that have never had a church Within their borders during the sixty or seventy years of their existence as counties. This fact has been referred to the Home Missionary Society. How He Advertised. ; A gentleman living in the west had inherited consumption from his father, and the doctor told ftim ho must die. He stopped taking their weakening medicine, -and tried Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. In three months lie. was strong and well. The gentle man’s neighbors knew how sickly he formerly was; and asked him to state in public how he had been cured. He advertised to lecture on a certain evening, in the town hall, and there was a large audi ence present. This was his lec ture: A picture of himself before; and one after he tried the rerne- dy, and five empty bottle? of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Biseov- sry. He said nothing, but. con vinced his audience just the same. It outrivals all—Dr. Sage’s Ca tarrh Bemedy. 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 was born’ajWkigkif the high-pro tection school. I have voted the Bepubliean’ ticket because litjsuc- ceeded the Whig party ; ;(but I have had enough % of) protection. My Bepublican friends think(it (strange that I should /have left.them, be cause I am’the largest sheep-own er and wool-growerdn Edwards count}'. But I am(not, afraid of free wool.: If. I,cannot-make sheep 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 of the earth than is presented by the man who spurns with con tempt the idea that other people must be taxed in order to give him a living”. Immigration. General Mastei’jWorkmaAPow- derly, speaking on the (immigra tion question,‘says that; th#time has come to restrict, if * not=for a tims to entirely prohibit immigra tion.

He says that the foreign laborers in Penn sylvania are in a helpless condition of slavery, RHd sho ws, that the miserable class now pouring into the United States makes it impos sible not only for an advance in wages, but even the retention of what is ; at present received by American workman.

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. -SEND US YOUB OBDEBS FOB- Baggitig and.

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.

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 scure portion of their retreat.
