It is symmetry of mind, of character and of purpose in tho individual combined. It represents man in completeness, har mony, equipoise, it clothts him with dignity, invests him with power, and stamps him with superiority That it is iu& genius, for that is often erratic; nor cunning, in its siniiuus course; nor tact, wuh its decline into trickery. Common si so is the embodiment of ti nt manhood It confers a patent of royalty, though birth he plebeian, and exalts men from 1< iUest spheres to the highest stations. Let by sudden freaks of fortune or a train o; adventitious circumstances are thev ti is dignified, hut step by step, through < staeie and hindrance, they overcome 1 y the force of character and the proper ;! rection of the will power. Common sense is a tremendous force in this lower world. Its power is feltand acknowledged through all ramifications of governments society, business,, finance, science and commerce. In fact it is the history as well as the true philosophy of the ages. It is the salt that has saved humanity from barbarism, and the moving power that has prop,died the race onward in its march of progress and civilization Rulers who have possessed this gift have govern ed with moderation, firmness, and justice and their reign has proved a blessing. Merchants uj on whom this talent rested have worked their way up from narrow fields and small beginnings to circuits of trade as wide as the continents u r the glob l . It gave them the true conserva tism needful to successfully accomplish Theft* plans, and bestowed upon them the caution that kept them from two hazard ous ventures. It has made more money kings than were ever crowned at lottery schemes, and gave hankers a wealth that speculation c( uld never furnish. It is the only architect of abiding fortunes, and the true test of all financial skill. It promotes commerce, fosters trade, builds up industries, and is the conservator of public peace and morals. In the realm of business it produces no panics, in gov ernments no disorder, and in society no tumults. In individual characters marked dif ferences are discernible. The weak, timid and irresolute are in contrast with the strong, daring, and energetic. The volu ble are full of conceit and uncommuni cative. A man possessing common sense knows how to govern his tongue and let his acts speak instead of words. The most profuse talkers are generally those possessing the least brains, while words seasoned with wisdom fall from the lips of those who are silent until the occasion demands their utterance. The wisemei chant keeps his own e un;el, the skill ed financier his plans, and prudent men of business conduct their affairs in steady grooves that inn without noise or fric tion. Common sense makes no parade, has no holiday attire, struts in no pea cock plumes, and comes out in no sham display. It needs no aids to have its worth discovered, no outside support up on which to lean. It forms its own ground-work, erects its own superstruc ture, an.l builds after its own model. It is substance without shadow, success without failure, and victory without de feat. In the outcome it wins, when trick ery, cunning, and tact have failed. It is generally allied with truth and honesty, and on all great moral questions is found on the light side. History is full of bril liant men who, like comets, have blazed awhile in glory and then through lack of sound wisdom made shipwreck of their lives. It is seldom safe to write auto biographies, as a man’s character is not compile until his death. The men who have died in the midst of their labors, full of vears and full of honors, are those who possessed the great gift of sound practical wisdom, Common sense is the philosophy of life in harmonious actions. A convention of delegates from Wes tern and Southern State boards of health met in Memphis Wednesday to concert action in preventing the introduction and spread of yellow fever. Gen. Cyrus Bussey, of New Orleans, was chosen temporary chairman. u FTilSiihl to Might, FeaAgainst the WroEsgv” Fr©E2a Fox Tlo’jßtaia. Mr. Editor— l write this to inform you how busin 'ss is on Fox Mountain E. A. J. and J. L. If. have lately gone into the “histing” business. They go down the cliff humming and hawing,and come up pullingand crawling with about 50 pounds of tail hark on their internal improvement. J.L.11. falls down on his elevator and calls on somebody to “hist” awiiv, for he cannot. Lliey only make about eight round trips per day, the dis tance of about 150 yards, and say if they can only get thore ten cords of hark done it will he their last step in the “histing'’ business. We are all proud that the boys still keep going up hill in life, and hope they will shove their boat on high from the mountain rangei and chief justice of the plain. We h ave one grey fi 1 ley on the moun tain that is fast improving on the range, now in possession of JWnj. E. Boon. Old Brindle, in full. P. S.—We understand that W. P. Edmondson is coming out on this moun tain ta complete the “histing” business soon, as die above named parties are about to throw up their commission. O. B. How hTlse Wciaiesa Vole Em Kansas. A ITojsior sees in Kansas many new and unfamiliar sights, but i o to more in teresting tii an that of t lie ladies voting. They h ave the privilege of voting in all matters pertaining to schools. As far as my obsei vation goes, the ladies here have minds; Y heir own. They nUfho.r vnh for r* ,nß *indsomest man nor the one their husbaoW fell them to vote qr candidate is in their proper one. Their votes cannot bethought. They arc universally on the side of mcra’ity and temperance;hence the work ers in the tempeAnce cause are warm ad vocates of equal suffrage. Election da vs pass quietly. If tle is any drinking or fighting done, it at the polls. Ev erything is orderly there notwithstand ing contrary reArts circulated by anti suffragists in tlußEastern States. Candidates keep caniages running for the accommodation of the ladies but a great many walk up to deposit their votes. As the result, so far, has been very satisfactory, even to the men (the brutes), it will probably be but a short time until equal suffrage's granted. The gentlemen show their gallantry and faith in the ability of the ladies by appointing them to office. The enrolling clerks of the Legislature are ladies, also a large pioportion of the county superin tendents, who, in every instance ( is cliarge their duties in a manner that gives universal sa+isfaetioc. A 5? rave Servant twirl. A tramp entered the residence of G. H. Kitchen, a farmer near Lebanon, 0., on Sunday, during the absence of the family, and began searching a bureau where a large amount of money had been placed. Carrie Roberts, a young gill domestic, who was in the upfer part of the house heard ihe noise and discovered the tramp at work. She approached him unarmed, suddenly clutched him by the hair with one hand, and endeavored to wrench the box of valuables from his grasp with the other hand. Finding her efforts unavailing she released her hold, sprang on a chair, secured a revolver from the top of a clock and fired at the tramp several times in quick succession. The latter dropped the box, ran to the yard, scaled the fence and escaped. On examination it was found that nothing of value had been taken. < • > What aia old jffan lias Po liced. I have noticed that all men are honest when well watched. I have noticed purses w ill hold pennies as well as pounds. I have noticed that in order to be a reasonable creature it is necessary at times to be downright mad. I have noticed that silks, broadcloths and jewels are often bought with other peoples money. I have noticed that whatever is, right I with few exceptions—the le t eye and | the left leg, and the left side of a plum pudding. I have noticed that the prayer of the selfish man is, “Forgive us debts,” while he makes everybody that owes him pay to the utmost farthing. lh ave noticed that money is the fool’s wisdom the knave’s reputation, the poor man’s desire, (lie covetous mail’s ambi tion and the idol of them all. Besfcration. The Scotch have long been noted for their strict observation of the Lord’s day die late Lady Janet Co’quhoun used to tell an Incident of her childhood by way of illiu tration. She.had a devout nurse, who allowed on the Sabbath none of the walks, or books or music, common on week days. The little Janet strolled out one Sunday, unseen by the nurse’ and found the way to the seashore, a long dis tance from the castle. To her great de light she came a cross a large number of shell-fish, and proud of her discovery, hurried back to the cas le*to show them to nurse. The old women looked at them a moment, and then said gently,—“l think my dear, you should not have gath ered them on the Sabbath day. You had better put them again where you found them.” Boor Janet trinket back again over the long road with a heart, and deposited her treasure on the shore as nearly as she could judge in the spot where she had found them. The incident made an impression on her mind that was not forgotten. Most persons will de lin'i'ioo tLo contlnct o/‘ tllU 11U1SC iIS UlT reasonablo and bigoted; hut is well to remember that an extremely rigid, relig ous education does not, as a rule, mature into moral delinquency. It is to he pre ferred to the looseness of religions prin ciple that goes to the other extreme, and forms no habit of devotion or restraint. ft ©thing Mean Ahosil ESiin. A man stepped into a saloon tlio oth er day anil happened to meet a friend there: “Have a Leer ?” was the first ques tion. “It’s a little too early,” replied the invited one. “Weil, take a little whiskey; that’ll warm you up. “1 don’t think 1 care about whiskey.” “'Fry a little rum, then; now what do you say to a good, sharp, seduetive hot spiced rum, eli ? “Deliver me from rum; I never could drink it without getting beastly sick, or catching a beastly cold.” a “How would a Santa go?” “That’s a thing I never touch; only niggers diink Santa Cruz gin.” “Won’t you try some sherry; that is more poetic, and will make you feel good for the balance of the day.” Will you kindly excuse me from tak ing sherry, sir ?” “Of course; but won’t you take a ci “Not if I know myself.” “What’s the matter; you are not of fended, are yon?” “Not at all.” “Well, then, won’t you take some thing?” “To be sure I will; to be sure I will drink with you.” “Well, what will you take?” “I’ll tell you what I’ll do sir; I’ll take a glass of water and you give me the ten cents. How will that work, eh?” “That won’t work at all,” replied the other indignantly, and then he took a drink alone and walked out of the place. A Motion Withdrawn. A few years the following inci dent took place in Washington county, Texas* The jury of a circuit court, be fore whom a miserable wretch had been tried, returned a verdict of “guilty,” aiul eomtemptously suggested the “whipping post.” The court then adjourned for dinner. Immediately after dinner the defendant’s counsel, without consulting his unfortunate client, moved for anew trial, and commenced reading the mo tion. I). M. GULLEY, Business Max i “Hold on, for God’s sake/’ whispered i f he client, pulling at the counsel’s coat tail. ‘-'Don't read that.” “Let me alone,” muttered the lawyer, irritably; “I’ll attend to you when I’ve read the motion.” “But I don’t want you to read the mo tion/’ whined the agitated culprit, “Don’t want me to read it? Why not ? Wiiat in thunder’s the matter ? I’m going to get you anew trial.” “Hut 1 don’t want anew trial,” ex claimed the wretch, Don’t want one ! Why not?” return ed the other heatedly, frowning from un der his eye glasses. “Cause it’s too late,” urged the client. “While you were all out to dinner the darned sheriff took me out and lie’s whipped the very hide off of me. The motion was summarily with drawn. Knowing' People. Thera are always some people in every community who immagine themselves “smart,” and they are generally of the busybody kind. One of these can dc more harm in a town or neighborhood than a dozen good people can set at rights. No minister ever comes into a place but these smart ones can pick any amount of flaws in his every day walk, or his sermons are always too long or too short, too soft or too hard, or “he cant preach,” and a hundred other imaginary imperfections, which the less pretentions never think o nientionieg. But.these knowing oms do not stop here; for no enterprise was ever started hut was contrary t.n thniv views. Other folks never build a pigpen, a smoke-house, a wood-shed, a barn, a dwelling, a school-house or a church to Miit these babb.ers; and no newspaper was ever run according to their ideas of business, “and I won’t have anything to do with it; and I’ll keep everybody else from it that I can.” The Negroes In Kansas. A dispatch, dated on Saturday last,at yandott r , Kansas, says the condition of the negro emigrants there is pitable in the extreme. Fully one-tenth have died from exposure, and the condition of others, for want of food and shelter, is, heart-rending. In addition to this, the citizens of Kansas have got an idea that their bedding and household goods have been brought from yellow fever localities and this still further isolates them. The Man from Wyandotte. The man who came up from Wyan dotte to sell a watch was the first prison er to appear at the desk. It was a watch left him by his grandfather, and was, therefore, the next tiling to his grand father’s clock. W lien ho reached town he tried to find “the boss of the City Hall,” but failing in that, he offered the watch to this one and that one, aiul gave his word and honor that he would have never thought oi disposing of it if his six children hadn’t the measles all at once and no medicine in the house. Some men didn’t want a watch at all, for fear of being mistaken for bloated aristocrats, and others wanted a small watch for a cent. By-and-by the watch stopped. “That’s the last camel that breaks the straw’s back,” said the Wyandotter, as he ceased shaking the old timepiece, and lie did just what Nero would have done had there been any saloons open in Rome at that time. Prisoner,you were drunk—dead drunk, “\es, the old man stopped on me,” was the mournful reply. “Then it is a stop watch is it?” “I guess SG—here she is.” The prisoner went down into his hind pocket and pulled up the relic. It came up in sections, and as each section ap peared in view the man opened his eyes another notch. A handful of wheels came out last, and the prisoner placed them on the desk, stepped back and said ; “There’s the last remains of my old grandfather ! Bend me up for life if you want to. His Honor gave him some advice and let him go, but he returned after court was over to search his cell for “some more of them darned wheels. NUlv.riEß 27
