Iconic Triumph* of Poor Mon.
It is not a little remarkable that most
of the mighty works ot the world have
been accomplished by poor men, but
men so thoroughly absorbed in their
labor as to ultimately exercise the most
widespread influence. David Living
stone, for instance, and Smith the As
syrian explorer, have recently shown
that it is not wea'th which makes a man
famous. Livingstone, who opened up
the interior of Africa, and w nose mem
ory is so fresh that it need not be dila
ted upon, was a factory boy. Sir Wil*
flam Herschcl, who made so many dis
coveries in astronomy, actually went to
England when a youth from Germany
as a street musician. It urns a great
stfifp when he became organist to the
Octagon Chapel at Bath. Unable to
buy a tel cope, he made one, and while
in these humble circumstances discov
ered anew planet, then called the
Gcorgium Sidus. From that moment
he became famous ; but it is certain
that it was not the hope of public ap
plause that sustained him previously,
but pure love of science. Jenner,
again, the inventor of vaccination,
which is being so carefully enforced in
London, worked for twenty years in
the obscurity of a country village be
fore his theory was accepted, and in ad
dition was bitterly satirised and scorn
ed. Sir Humphrey Davy was an apoth
ecary’s apprentice, and at first worked
nt his ideas with no better materials
than such smell pots and bottles as he
could find in the kitchen. There is a
whole muster roll of celebrated names
in science of men poor in their youth,
whose disinterested labors, pursued un*
der every difficulty, have afterwards
yielded benefits to the world at large.—
The steam engino itself was brought
into practical use by James Watt, who
had to earn his daily broad by making
mathematical instruments, and repairing
fiddles, and indeed seems to have been
glad to get almost any employment.
Advice of an Old Lady.
“Now, John, listen to me, for I am
older than you, or I couldn’t bo your
mother. Never do you marry a young
woman, John, before you have con
trived to happen at the house where
she lives at least four or five limes be
fore breakfast. You should know how
late she lies in bed in the morning.—
You should take notes whether her
complexion is the same in the morning
as it is in t4io evening, or whether the
wash and towd have robbed her of her
evening bloom. -You should take care
to surprise her, so that you can see her
in her morning dress, and observe how
her hair looks when she is not expect
ing you. If possible, you should be
where you can hear Lite morning con
versation between her and her mother.
If she is ill-natured and snappish to
her mother, so she will be to you, dez
nend upon it. But if you find her up
and dressed neatly io the morning, with
the same countenance, the same smiles,
the same neatly-combed hair, the same
ready and pleasant answers to her
mother which characterized her deport
ment in the evening, and particularly if
she is Jeuding a hand to get the break
fast ready in good season, she is a
prize, John, and the sooner you secure
her to yourself the hotter.”
An Astonished Dutchman.
A Dutchman in the Pennsylvania oil
regions let his lands to an oil company
last spring on condition of receiving
one*eigh:h of the oil procured. The
well proved to be a pretty good one,
and the inner b°gan to think the oil
men should give nim a better chance,
and ventured to tell them so. They
asked him what he wanted. He said
they ought to give him one-twelfth. —
The arrangement was finally made, with
the understanding that the Dutchman
was not to tell anyone. All went
smoothly until the division day came,
when our friend was early at hand to
see how much better he would be off
u..a.. *he new bargain. Eleven bar
rels were rolled iu edde f or the oil
men and one for him. “flow s omu ?”
said he. “I think I was to get more as
before. \ T ou have made some mistake.”
The matter was explained to him that
ho formerly got one barrel out of every
eight, but it was his proposition to take
one out of every twelve. This revela
tion took him aback. He scratched
his head, looked cross and relieved his
swelling breast ot feelings of sell-re®
pn ach by indignantly remarking :
'‘Well, dat ish the first time as ever 1
knowed eight was more as dwelve.” —
Jltncrs’ Journal.
Daniel Webster is credited with
having said : “If I had as many sons
as old Priam, I would have them all
learn a trade, so they would have some
thing to fall back on in case they failed
in speculations.” A Philadelphia pa<-
per moralizes thus sensibly thereon :
“The number of young men who are
brought tip to no useful trade or call
ing, is on the increase. The effect of
this is seen in political life, where thou
sands of men are begging, as at present
in Washington, for “position” with a
vague idea that their untrained powers
and ignorance can find shelter in some
cosy nook where they may at least draw
their pay. Being practically of no
earthly use to themselves or any one
else, they only hupe to find some place
where they can continue to exist with
out benefitting any one. A destitute
youug man, without a trade, and who
is not qualified by practice to fill any
position, is in a condition to become a
tramp, and the chances are that he will
become one, or fare even worse bv bc
coming a criminal.

White House Whitewash.
The following recipo, which is fre
quently inquired after, is given for the
famous whitewash with which the Pres
idential mansion is adorned :
Take dnsNhalf bushel of nice un
slacked lime, slack it with boiling wa*
ter ; cover it during the process to keep
in the steam. Strain the liquid through
a fine sieve or strainer and add to it a
peck of salt, previously dissolved in
warm water ; three pounds of ground
lice boiled to a thin paste ; one half
pound of Spanish whiting, and one
pound of clean glue which has been
previously dissolved by soaking it well,
and then hang it over a slow fi”e in a
kettle within a larger one filled with
water Add five gallons of hot water
to the mixture, stir it well, and let it
stand a few days covered from dust. It
should be put on hot, and for this pur
pose it can be kept in a kettle on a
portable furnace. About a pint of th'n
mixture will cover a yard upon the
outside of a house, if properly applied.
Fine or coarse brushes may be used ac
cording to the neatness of the job re
quired. It answers as well as oil paint
for wood, brick or stone, and is cheap
er. It retains its brilliancy for many
years. There is nothing of ihe kind
that will compare with it, either lor
inside or outside work. Coloring mat
ter may be added of any shado desira
ble except green, for which there is no
material that can bo used with lime.—
Spanish brown wil! make reddish piok
when stirred in, more or less deep ac
cording to quantity. A delicate tinge
of tlys is very pretty for inside walls.
Finely pulverized common clay, well
mixed with Spanish brown, makes a
reddish stone color ; yellow ochre stir
red in maxes a yellowish wash, but
chrome goes further, and makes a color
generally esteemed preUier. It is best
to trv exoeiiments on a shingle anu let
w x. O
it dry.
Up Ihe Bosporus.
Drilling cautiously down the mouth
of the Goiden Horn, picking ou” wav
among (he shipping that is anchored in
mid stream, we turn away from the
point of the Seraglio, head due North,
and find ourselves entering a river.—
This is the Bosporus ; it might be the
Hudson, or any other winding stream
that een walls and is lovely to
look upon. Just think of it for a mo
ment. On our right ttie Eastern shore
is Asia; on our Jetlj to the West, is
Europe; at our back is the Sea of
Marmora, and in two hours we shall
have come to the Black Sea. The
channel turns so abruptly at times that
seven land-locked lakes are formed,
each more charming than the last. —
Enlaces, villas, villages line the del c
ious shores ; the hills brood over the
waters like hanging gardens of delight.
I believe that the remarkable beauty of
the Bosporus is posiiive’y unequalled
in the world, for nature has made here
a bed for art to dream in. Behold two
continents, face to face, like rival
queens, glassing themselves between
two classic seas. We are cruising be
tween the Ponlus and the Propontis,
the Euxine and the Marmora. We
swing from shore to shore ; pause a few
moments at each landing; exchange
passengers, and have ever about us a
landscape that is renewed at every turn,
and a surprise that is as fresh when
we steam up the Golden Horn at sun
set as at the hour when we came out
of it with our hearts full of expecla*
tion.— Cor. of tlic San Francisco
Chronicle.
The Colorado Central Narrow-Gauge
Railroad runs through Clear Creek can
on. The granite cliffs descend a thou
sand feet to the river, without any
bauk. The railroad is channeled from
the hillside. Tire twistings and turn,
ings of the canon are interminable and
innumerable. In graceful curves or in
bold, rounded sweep the stream and the
railroad pursue their parallel course—
the iaiii'.'uii uoUcn crossing the river.
The grade is about 150 feci
mile, and the dash of the water is a
sight to see. A correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says : “The trip
was so exciting that we grasped our
seats ami hardly talked. Two ol the
party rode on tho cow-catcher. They
reported it the grandest rida of their
lives. The granite cliffs were as won
derful, and even more so, than the riv
er. Of gray and red granite, streaked
with all hues by the action of the
scarcely concealed ores, with their for
mations exposed as if cut across by the
knife of giants—seamed, twisted, gnarl
ed —presenting sometimes smooth and
at others the most grotesque faces, they
were a constant study. What kept
millions cf loose stone from dropping
upon the track no one conld understand.
They looked like demons with their
heads downward, ready to pounce upon
us.”
An Old-Fashioned Fourth. —
“Oh, I’ll have a blazing time on the
fourth !” yelled a boy from the City
Hall steps yesterday, at another in the
yard.
“Going to shoot off your mouth /’
sneered the other.
“No, I hain’t going to she-oot off my
mouth, but I’ve got a fire-crackei as big
as your leg, two hundred torpedoes, six
old muskegs and a sky-rocket. Mam
sold the stove biler yesterday for lem
ons and sugar, dad is around trying to
pick up gooseberries for a pie, we’ve
got the dead thing on a yearling chick,
en, and ii you want to see the Goddess
of Liber : y turn hand-springs over the
clothes-line you come around and look
through the alley fence.”
MIStELLi XEOUS.
A Washington thief stole a cook

A cold in the head is not conducive
to personal comfort, but mothers should
reflect that the boy who keeps his ups

yet become President of the United
States.
A gentleman in England committed
suicide because his wife was “ a great
deal too good for him.” If men were
so sensitive in this country the male
population would soon be a “corner” in
grave yards. By the way, there gener

If you think you are too tall, marry

There was an old doctor who, when

With a clear sky, a bright sun, and
a.gent'e breeze, you can have friends
in plenty ; but let Fortune frown and
tbm fi-mament he overcast, and then
your friends will prove like the strings

Aecusiom yourself to think vigorous
ly. Ment-d capital, like pecuniary, io
be worth anything, must be well in
vested —must be rightly adjusted and
applied, and to this end careful, deep
and intense thought is necessary if
great results arc looked for. There is
no such thing as standing stiU iu this
world. Change is the eternal law of
nature.
It was “court week” at a country
tavern, and a late comer was given one
of a dozen cots, which had been put up
temporarily in the parlor. There was
a grand chorus of snores from the oth
er cots. After an hour or more of this
uproar, one of the most resonant sno
rers brought up with a snort, and was
suddenly silent. A Frenchman, who
occupied a cot in the extreme corner
of the room, exclaimed : “Tank God,
you ces dead !”
Wise Maxims. —Mr. John M.:Don

is oue of the conditions ni our existence.
Time is gold; throw not one minute
away, but place each one to account. Do
unto all men as you would be done by.
Never Cjvet what is not your own. —
Never think any matter so trifling as

Mi*. Wimple Ag recs to let His
f
Boy go to the Cireos.
“Pa,” said Mr. Wimple’s boy the
other day, pretending to hunt behiud
the counter for his ball, while in real
ity he was stowing his pocket? full of
peanuts, “Pa, mayn’t I go to the cir
cus, when it comes ? Say, pa, mayn’t
I?”
“Well, uij son,” said the parent, with
his usual pomposity of manner and ut*

Under its new management, the Atlanta
Constitution has won for itself the title of
t!ic leading journal of the South. Its on-'
terprise, during the recent election excite
ment, i.i sending correspondents to differ
ent portions of tiic countrv, and its series
of special telegrams from Washington while
the electoral commission was engaged in
consummating the fraud that placed Radi,
c Jism once more in power in our rational
councils are evidences conspicuous enough 1
to prove that no expense will be spared To
make the Constitution not only a leader iu
the discussion of matters of public concern,
but a leader in the dissemination of the la
test and most reliable news. There is no
better time than row to-subscribe for
A Fresh and Vigorous Newspaper.
Albeit, there fcatrbecn a quasi settlement
of one of the most difficult and dangerous
problems of modern federal poiitin*, the
discussions springing therefrom and the re
sults likely to enswe have lost nothing of
their absorbing interest. In addition to
this, the people o? Georgia are now called
upon to settle
The Convention Question.
and in the discussion of this important sub
ject (in which the Constitution will take a
leading part) every Georgian is interested.
If a convention is called its proceedings
will find their earliest and fullest embodi
ment in the columns of the Constitution,
and this fact alone will make the paper in
dispensable to every citizen of tho State.—
To be brief,
The‘ Atlanta Daily CoAstitutloh.
will eudeavbr, by all the means that the pro
gress of m’bdern journalism has made pos
sible and necessary to hold its place as a
leader dl SdtttliCrti opinion and as a purvey
or of the latest news. Its editorials will be
thoughtful, timely and vigorous—calm and
argumentative in their methods and thor
oughly Southern and Democratic in their
sentimeuts. Its news will be fpc-h, reliable
and carefully digested. It will be alert
and enterprising, and rro expense will bo
spared to make it thij lilcdium of the latest
and most, important intelligence.
