His restless, dauntless spirit pushes Che pioneer into the njfw and un known regions; open# a way and prepares a home (or tflie following thousands. Ho dears tho forests, ?1>reaks tho pralrion and makos tho desert to blossom us a rose. The mountains yield to him their gold, and the sea givos r. up its trcafcuro. Merchants build our cities, audi rear our manufactures^ They whiten tho oc'Gftn with thfoir sails, and blaoke? tho heavens with the amoke of their steam vessels and glowing furnace flros. They push their railways into the remotest bor der of the .land and lift their fac tories and business palaces until they pierce the clouds. Who would not be a merchant?

Ail traders are mer chants in a certain sense. A bas ket, a cart, a stall, a booth, a shop, a warehouse, a counting room or l>srtk, each is somebody's store. A ship is only a largo basket.; and a warehouse a costly h tall. The mer chant with bis ship is hut a pedler who offers his wares to nations, as another with a basket from door to .do6r~ ? Thdlr business is the same in kind. So are the princi ples that goveru it. The law of de mand and supply reigns supremo. A cargo of merchandise is as worth less as a basket full of apples with out customer. Tim peanut stand proprietor is no more depondeni ?upon tho peanut eater, thau the' Wall street jeweler, with bis dia monds upon the daughter of the millionaire. The man who pecumn lated $60,000 by selliug pencils at ? penny a piece on the streets of New York appliod tho same business principles that Jay Gould did jn manipulating railroad stocks. The smallest heglnnlug, followed by the oortain, strong, advancing step, Secures the grandest success. The lack ol capital ought not to deter tho ambitious youth from go ing into business. Most of the world's rich iron have started in life with no other capital than their brains: The main thing In to jjet 4o work at something and to grow. The goddess of fortune must be wooed to bo won. She smiles upojj the poor boy ss well as upon the monaroh. -At one time see fixed her eye upon the begger boy as ho aakos for food from door to door, to bo repulsed every where.

Wo have examined into the condition of County Poor House and its inmates and find everything in good condition and inmates contented and -well cared for.

Wo have examined the books, record* and accounts of the different County official*, and find them correct and woll kept. We especially commend Treasurer W. It.

LexlngtoA Jury List Will Not Be Published This Term of Court. A gentleman from Lexington coun ty who was in the city today said that the list of lurnra far tho term a( oourt to bo held this month will not bo published. Citizens expected to see the list in the Dispatch of this week, but fail* ing to find it in the paper some of tbem inquired of the clerk of oourt why the names were not printed. According to the gentleman referred to, this officer answered that the names wonld not bo published this tim? in order to prevent the possi bility a( any "tampering" with them. He did fiot nay, so far as the Record's informant knows, who ho suspected might be guilty of such an attempt. There is no law, so far as Lexington is concerned, it is said to require the list of jurors to be published in the nowspapers, but their names cannot be kept by officials from anyone who, tnay desire to know who they may be. Still the statement as to the reason the list will not be printed in the Loxington Dispatch is interesting, and tnvolVos a serious question a# to whether "tampering" with jurors is a oustom in the state or whether it is suspectedv/to be attempted at this particular term of court in Loxing ton only. ?
