To Young Men. I owe my success
in life to otic fact, namely: Ar the

and continued for years, the daily
practice of reading and speaking
upon contents of some historical or
scientific book. These offhand ef
forts were made sometimes in the
corn-field, at others in the forest,
and not unfrequeutly in some distant
barn, with the horse and ox for m y
auditors. It is to this early practice
in the great art of arts that, I am in
debted for the primary and leading
impulse that stimulated me forward
and sha|>ed and moulded my entire
subsequent destiny. Improve, then,
young gentlemen, the superior ad
vantages you tiere enjoy. Let no

power of speech. There is no pay

the one perishes with the author;
that of the other continues to this

ties AND DOWNS IN SOCIAL CIRfTI.M.
From the Philadelphia I'reaa.J
San Fiuncihco, Oet. -25. - Decidedly
the most stiiking characteristic ol
San Francisco is the Radical change
constantly going on in its social ami
commercial circles. Yet how great,
rapid and asp in ishing arc t he changes
wrought by this intense existence
which wo live none can fully under
stand, except those who reside here.
To me, even familiar as I have been
with California life, in years ago
familiar as lam with it, to-day, the
changed and changing condition ot
the small fraction of the population
whom 1 call my friends amazes and
astounds me. I eaunot comprehend
the mysterious fate that rides through
all Uio departments of our affairs.
Are we, indeed, different from our
brothers of the Atlantic slope? Is our
career more erratic, mom dangerous?
Do we move in tangents, ami not in
well-deline dcirclea?
Before me stands a man who, a f*vv
short years ago, worked as a day
laborer in a mine, and to-day he has
more dollars than any other man in
the United States, rejoicing in an in
come of nearly half million of bul
lion a month! Yonder is a man
trembling on the verge of want and
utter destitution, who a few months
ago was a millionaire! In this pass
ing gaudy equipage languidly re
clines a woman, robed in the richest
fabrics and decked with the Fares:
jewels, who, five years ago, took in
washing for a living! And that poor,
sad-faced and meanly-clad woman to
my right, not half a decade lias pass
ed since she was a power in societ y
the proud wife of a man worth the
reverence of a kingdom, and who
sold all things short in this life, arid
then sold death short! One can find
human wrecks all along our
streets wrecks that have been
made so with the suddenness of a
thunderbolt! And we can find where
fort une has suddenly poured its gold
en stream into the lap of hard labor
and pinching poverty, and the recipi
ents walk before us now as rulers in
the marts of commerce. Men pass
ns on ail sides, anxious and excited,
hurrying on to disaster and defeat, or
to success and victory, as though
the day enfolded all their chances in
life and, I had almost said, all their
hopes in the hereafter. And, must it
tie said that women, many young
and beautiful and pure, are found
mingling with and taking a part in
and with the surging throng as
anxious, as determined to brave
"late and the devil” as are their
fathers, husbands iind lovers! Ah,
me! Assirungeis life and its sur
roundings here as are the genial cli
mate, the naked hills and the radiant
heavens!
A lady correspondent, who assumes
to know how boy’s ought to be train

hunt out the soft, tender, genial side

A MOI.DIERK STORY.
HOW A SOLDIER’S OALLANTKY WAS RE
WARDED lIY A SOUTHERN BELLE A BE
MINIHCENCK OF TUB WAR.
t'r<-m the KitunaA City Jnurirtl.)
It was in the winter of lSCii, short 1)
before the collapse of the rebellion,
that General Kinder oouunuudlug at
De Vail’s Bluff, Arkansas, sent a de
tachuient of cavalry up into the
Cache river country to intercept some
contraband goods that were being
smuggled through the lines to the
enemy. Tlmt country was an almost
interminable wilderness of swamps
and forests of cypress and gum trees
at that lime, and was the last place
in America that any oue would be
supposed to chose a home. There
were occasional spots, however, of a
few hundred acres each, a little
higher than the surrounding country,
that by much expense had been con
verted into handsome and valuable
estates, with large and preteutious
residences for the wealthy ow ners,
who, though isolated from the busy
world, were content to forego some ol
its pleasures for tlie peace and quiet
seclusion thus afforded. Once each
year, when the cotton was ready tor
shipment, and the little river was
swollen by the winter rains, a steam
er would come up to the plantation
and take the season’s product and
the planter’s family to New Orleans,
where the cotton would be disposed
of and a year’s supplies purchased.
Then, alter a few weeks spent in t lie
society of i lie metropolis, they would
be carried safely back to the landing
at home. Thus the years were spent
until the children, who liiul been
under instructors at home, were far
enough advanced lo be seut abroad
to finish their education.
it was at. one ol’ these plantations
that the squadron of cavalry was halt
ed and dismounted about daylight,
with instructions to surround the
house and allow no one to escape.
The lieutenant then directed a ser
geant and six men to go through the
house and seize un\ goods that might
be contraband of war. The detail was
made, and the men proceeded to their
work. Entering the house, the ser
geant made the inmates acquainted
with the nature of his errand, and ns
sured them that all Ihe private prop
erty should be respected. When the
(‘arty ascended the stairs leading to
the second sturv, one of the men, a
young Prussian who had landed in
this country just in time to enlist, re
mained below and passed into the
parlor. Perhaps the single occupant
i >f t lio loom, a beau!iiill girl may have
attracted him, and perhaps he didn’t
just like this unceremonious style of
ransacking u gentleman’s house, war
or no war. At any rate tlio squad
got along without him, and came
'down presently and continued their
search. All the rooms had been vis
ited except one, and into this went
the entire party, voting lady and all.
There were four large trunks then*,
all of the same pattern and entirely
new. Tile suspicious soldiers were
aroused still more when t he young la
dy asked the privilegeof o; cuing and
displaviug the contents of them her
self. The request was granted, but
each man scanned "the articles as
they wore taken out, expecting the
long-looked for bolts of Confederate
cloth would be brought to light
They were disappointed, however;
there was nothing but. what was evi
dently intended for the household,
and the last trunk had been emptied
of its contents--uot quite, for the ser
geant noticed that t lie drawer ill the
lid had not been opened, and called
the girl's attention to it. With a
slight tremor of her voice, she replied
tit it there was nothing there but pri
vate property, and she did not wisii
to remove it. This attracted the at
tention of the men, who gathered
around, when the sergeant again de
manded that the search lie made.
Still the girl, who was kneeling by
the trunk, with her hands resting on
tiie lid, made no movement.hut look
ing imploringly into the faces of the
Bid Hem. She was a beautiful crea
ture, scarcely seventeen, yet, with all
the grace and bearing of an accom
plished Indy. Before the sergeant
could repeat"! he order, or execute it
himself, the Prussian, with a touch
of the hat and a polite bow to ids su
perior officer, said, “If the lady
gives von iter wot 1 of honor tii.it
there is nothing there we seek, you
should be satisfied.” “Word of
Honor!” repeated the sergeant, con
temptuously; “honor among rebel*,
indeed 1”
There was a free fight in an instant,
for the Prussian dealt, him a terrible
blow in the face, which staggered
him back among his comrades, who
took sides about evenly for and
against the “Dutchman,” leav
ing it, uncertain which would
bo victorious, when the Lieutenant
bearing the row, rushed in and quell
ed it, In the excitement which fol
lowed the trunk was forgotten, and
the party left the premises and re
sumed their march. When the war
was over, the troops were disbanded
at.hr. Louis, and the Prussian was
lost sight of for several years, until
die railroad from Memphis to Little
lioek was revived, when he turned
upas a civil engineer, and assisted in
locating the route. His name was
mentioned frequently in the patters
at the time, but when the road was
finished lie disappeared again, and I
saw rtor heard nothing of him until
the other day I met a lady and gen
tleman in the ears, whose faces see tri
ed farttiliar and which proved to he
my Prussian comrade and his wife,
the planter’s daughter, whom he pro
tected in the war. Then followed a
long story of how the railroad was
located across the plantation, and
how thev met again a case of lve
at first, sight—and were married, and
had made a four of the lakes, and
re-visited rhe seminary at Cincinnati
where site was •• bleated, and were
then on their way to California.
“Well,” said l. "you haven't told
me what was in that trunk.”
“It was a pitcher full of gold and
silver coin,” said the happy Prus
sian, “bjtt, I didn’t know it till we
were married.”
However tlmt may be, its value was
of no comparison to his treasure of a
wife.
The splendors of the IruiiKXfiau of
ihe young daughter of the Duke of
\lbn, brother-in-law to the Empress
Eugenie, who has just married the
Duke de Medina-Cocil, the wealth
iest man in Spain, may be inferred
from the outlay in pocket-handker
chiefs. There are sixty of thes ■ ob
jects, ortc dozen of which cost $2,400,
the rest being somewhat less costly,
but still enormously expensive. The
mere embroidering of the. Ducal arms
ort the dozen handkerchiefs cost sl,-
400. The arms of Berwick are joined
with those of Medina-Coeli in these
wonderful “wipes,” tiie double es
cutcheou being embroidered in gold
by anew system of metalic thread,
perfectly flexible, of pure gold, and
that does not change in washing.

Tho New Yttrii llten 1,1 on Cuba.
| New York, Nov. 17. The Herald
] this morning editorially discusses the
Cuba question, and the disadvantages
of war with Spain. It argues that in
the event of Spain being forced into
war to prevent the annexation of
Cuba to the United States, it is prob
able tluit- she might, have as allies to
assist her both France and England.
The cost of war in a contest for the
possession of Cuba would bo infinite
ly greater than the mercantile value
of Cuba. Besides,Cuba will ultimate
ly come into the possession of the
United States without war. Incase
of war our credit in the European
money market would be weakened;
it would advance gold, paralyse re
viving manufactures, arid add to tho
volume of currency.
Tiie Herald argues that, for these
reasons, in addition to the Centennial
celebration, which would be blighted
j by war, or apprehensions of war, the
duty of tiie Administration, and of
the peop.e, is tlmt absolute peace. It
protests against the Administration
party making war for the purpose ol
advancing the third term interest,
it urges the President to remember
that for his highest fame is what is
to bo found in peace.

Washington, Nov. 17.—A question
has arisen respecting the liability ol
tho Illinois Central Railroad Compa
ny to a tax upon the profits which
arose from tho sale of certain lands
donated to it by tho United States.
Tho company sold these lands on
time, taking notes therefor. The
notes were not, however, in the usual
form, i. r. for certain,sums with inter
est thereon, hut were for certain
round stuns, payable at a fixed time
in the future, without any interest
clause. If is not denied, however,
that these notes wore made for sums
larger than the cash price at the time
of tiie stile of said lands, and wore so
made on account- of the length of
time they were to run. Tho company
included in their dividends monies
collected from time to time on said
notes. They now claim that so much
ol' their dividends as arose from mon
ey received upon said notes is exempt
from taxation, on the ground that
such money did not constitute the
earnings, profits, income or gains of
the company, within tho meaning of
I hose words, as employed in the
stat ute.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue lias decided that, as a sum equal
to ihe cash value of those notes, at
i lie time they were given, is not liable
to the tux in question, but that so
much of the amount received on said
notes in excess of that value as is re
ferable to tho years covered by the
dividends, tax is to be treated as in
terest, and constitutes a part of the
profits of the company liable to taxa
tion, and is not to be reduced by a de
duction oi expenses incurred in con
nection with other lauds which still
remain unsold.

Itichmoud Telegram to the New York Herald,]
The proper name of the unfortu
nate girl wlto committed suicide at
No. 180 Fift.ii avenue, New York, was
Minnie Keane. Kite was a native of
King William county, in tills State,
aud licloittfed to one of the most,
noted F. F. V.’s. Her parents were
related closely to the family of Hon.
William Keane, a former Governor of
Virginia, anil Iter grand-uncle wus a
Judge of the Slate Court, of Appeals,
and at oue time a United States Sen
ator. Her mother died while herself
and a sister named Belle were yet
quite young, to which may properly
he attributed the cause of their mis
fortunes and terrible fates. About
six years ugo these two girls, Minnie
and Belle, rail away from their home
in King William county, with the
avowed purpose of beginning a life
of shame and misery. They were
pursued, however, and with the aid
of some distant relatives living in
lids city were captured and returned
to their home, where for a time they
were kept under the strictest surveil
lance. As soon as this was relaxed
they escaped again, ami, bent upon
leading a life of sin. they entered
houses of ill fame, in this city. Min
nie left here nearly three years ago
and went to Ht. Louis and thence to
New York, where her history since is
well known. Her sister went to Balt
imore, and, as I am informed to-day,
threw herself trorn the window of a
hospital in that city ami was Instant
ly killed. A brother, who was em
ployed in a drug store in this city,
took chloroform, from the effects of
which he died. The family history is
replete with terrible catastrophes and
mFJortnties.

Capt. Jefferson Davis Howell, the
commander of the steamship Pacific
was not, as stated in the Associated
Kress dispatches, in the Marine Corps
of the Confederate Navy, hut served
as a Passed Midshipman until the
close of the war. Mr. Howell was a
conspicuously gallant officer, rind as
gentle and as affectionate ns he was
tender and true. After the war he
went to sen before the mast, and rose,
by his skill, fortitude and daring, to
the command of the Pacific. When
the tale of the disaster shall be fully
told, it will be found that Capt. How
ell stuck by the ship to the last, and
we are confident that nothing that
long experience and cool judgment
could suggest was left undone for the
protection of his passengers and crew.
