Every boy should have an incentive ; of course, we mean a commendable incentive. If he hasn't an incentive he'll never amount to much. He will be a mere chip caught in the busy eddy of life. Mr. fJteorgs \\\ Childs, when a boy, said to himself, "'I'm going to be the owner of the Philadelphia Ledger some day." It was a grand incentive, and the "some day" came around to him at last, and the newspaper plant has grown into a valuable property in his hands. Years ago a young playmate of mine, who had a taste for botany said to me, "I'll some day fill the chair of professor of botany in the ? university." He trained himself for the position, and filled it twonty-five years later. Persistent application must bo uni? ted with the incentive. Mere ambi? tion will not be enough. It will soon 3pend itself. Ruf?B Choate once taught a boy the force of this remark. He entered the office and said, in a self-consequential way:: "Mr. Choate. I want fed become a great lawyer, like yourself." "Ahj indeed 1? replied Mr. Choate. "That is commendable. You can be? gin now." He motioned the boy to a ohair, gave him a copy of Blaokstone, and said : "Bead this until I come back, and I will see how you get on." The boy had not trained his mind to study. He could not fix his atten? tion. His back and head began to ache. Every moment increased his torture. He wanted fresh air; he felt like running away his ambition wilted. In two hours Mr. Choate re? turned. "How did you get along ?" he ask? ed. "Get along 1" groaned the boy. "Did you have to read such stuff as this ?" "Yes, and a great deal more. All the books you see here," replied Mr. Choate, glancing at the well filled li? brary shelves. "How long did it take you ?" "About twenty-five years," replied Mr. Choate. "Oh!" gasped the boy, in supreme disgust. "Well, I'll never be a great lawyer. I don't want to be." Another boy^ who afterwards became one of the millionaire merchants of Philadelphia, was made of better ma? terial. He walked into an office and asked for work. "You are starting out young in life," the busy man said. "Have you a motto ?" "No, sir," replied the boy, a little puzzled. "Well, every boy ought to have a motto," suggested the gentleman. He meant an incentive. The boy stared di? rectly in front of Mm, and saw the word "push" on the door. "There is my motto," he quickly said, as he pointed to the door.. "Good!" laughed the gentleman. "This is a hustling world. The fellow who doesn't push is left out on the edges. I want a boy with push, and so I'll try you*" David Livingstone was a boy of push. When but ten years of age he gave proof of his wonderful powers of observation by the flowers and shells he had collected. At sixteen, he had mastered Horace and Virgil,r-working From six in the morning to eight in the evening, in a factory, and study? ing after night. He tells us himself how he read while in the factory: "I placed the book on a portion of the spinning-jenny so that I could catch sentence after sentence as I passed at my work." A boy with so much lau dible persistency could not help be? coming a great man. Linnaeus, Her sohel, Cuvier and Agassiz were boys blessed with similar persistency, but were not so shut up by circumstances as Livingstons was. Daniel Webster once used a very startling and appropriate illustration in one of his speeches. "Where did you get that?" asked a friend. "I stored it away in my head when I was a boy," replied Webster. I never had a chance to use it until to-day." He had a recalling memory as well as a retentive memory. He labeled the story, put it into a pigeon hole in his brain, and found it there when he reached for it. Hard work in boyhood antedates the brilliant success of manhood. When Peel entered the House of Commons, at the age of twenty-one, he startled the public with the ease, brilliancy and inipressiveness of his speeohes. But before he was eight years old he had exhibited his aptitude in that di? rection, and his father was sensible enough to foster it. He trained hirA to address visitors in the parlor with self-possession and eloquence that was ciuite'effective. He would make him repeat, Sabbath afternoon, all he sould recall of the sermon of the f ore noon. By cultivating the habit of attention and retention he was en? abled to repeat the sermon almost word for word. An uncle of the late Justice Lamar aroused a fortunate incentive in his nephew. The latter admitted that he was making little progress in Latin, G-reek and mathematics. "Lucius, what do you do in your de? bating society ?" asked MirabeauB. Lamar. "Oh, I talk to the members," was the boy's reply. "I do not find that very hard." "Then, sir," said Mirabeau, "go back to school and learn how to talk and how to talk well." A great deal of information can be obtained by observation. It is a won ierful incentive to the naturalist. He is ever discovering something new. There are boys who are observing and there are boys who are not. On one occasion a class of boys stood up to read. The word eclat-was in the lesson. "Howis that word pronounced?" asked the teacher, before they began to read. None of them knew ; yes, the boy at the foot of the class knew. "It is pronounced e-claw, sir," he answered. "How do you know?" asked the teacher. "Because it tells us at the top of the lesson how to pronounce it," was the reply. He had observed that Fact, the other six had not! Obser? vation can be trained. It is a faculty that should be cultivated. Robert Houdin, the French conjurer, trained himself and his son to such quickness of the eyes that they could discrimi? nate dozens of objects seen only at a glance. In passing a shop-window or a book-stall, they would compare which of them had noticed and mem? orized the greatest variety of articles or the titles of the greatest uumber of books.? Frank H. Stavffer in the In? terior. ? For half a century a man known as Billy Mustard has dwelt in the hol? low of a huge sycamore tree near Hamilton, 0.

"I notice," said the first post office loafer, "that as soon as a man gits to about 30 years old it takes a good deal of his time to explain to his friends why he ain't married."

The tlrst Telegram. h the year 1837, while Samuel F. B. Morse, professor of literature and the arts of design in the University of the City of New York, was vainly endeavoring to perfect an apparatus for re'cording signals at a considerable distance by the instantaneous action of electricity, he met by chance Al? fred Vail, a former student of the university and a man of great me? chanical skill as well as a hovh Scien? tist. The plan of Morse, conceived but not embodied, produced a profound impression upon the mind of Vail, who, after satisfying himself as to its feasibility and learning that the pfo^ fessor desired pecuniary assistance to proceed with his plans, offered to as? sociate himself with Morse and to proCure the money necessary for the furtherance of the idea. Morse glad? ly availed himself ot -this offer, and these twt> became friends and part? ners-. Tail 8 first step toward the mono tary part of the contract was to ondca* vor to interest his father, Jitdge Ste1 phen Vail, of MorristowU) N. J., in the enterprise. ThiB he succeeded in doing, for Judge Vail, a mechanic of no mean skill himself, and proprietor of the Speedwell iron works, had ideas ahead of his time as well as a marked respeot for the judgment of his son in scientific matters, and so it came to pass that Alfred Vail received per mission to invite Professor Morse to Speedwell, where he met the judge This meeting resulted in enlisting conditionally the aid of Judge Vail and the two partners began work at once upon the apparatus which was to prove conclusively for the first time the practicability of the tele graph. ~" ? A special room in one of the shops was set apart for their use, and there behind locked doors the work on the machine was prosecuted with the ut? most Becrecy by Alfred Vail and a young mechanic named William Bax? ter, Prof. Morse in the meantime hav ing returned to New York to prepare his caveat. Although Vail and his youthful as? sistant worked day and night toward completing the machinery, their pro gress, retarded by countless difficul? ties, was neoessarily slow. Morse made occasional visits to Speedwell to observe this progress and also to ob serve how Vail was improving step by step on his own more or less impracti? cable designs. Of all the changes and substitutions made by Vail none was more important and far reaching in effect than that of the lever. Find ing that Morse's transverse lever was unsatisfactory, Vail constructed a new lever capable of a-vertical mo tion, which produced dots, dashes and spaces. Professor Morse's idea was to re cord numerical instead of alphabeti cal signs, which were to be translated by means of a corresponding diction? ary?a decidedly more tedious and lengthy process than Vail's dot and dash alphabet, which has since become the universal telegraphic language of the world. As the time dragged on with no signs of a practical result Judge Vail became impatient. His temper was not improved by the sarcastic remarks of his neighbors on "Vail's fofly," in fact he became bo morose and ill-tern pered that he refused to have any thing more to do with the machinery or its construction, and left the work? ers to find their own way out of the accumulating difficulties. This was a critical period in the history of the telegraph, for Morse and Vail felt that at any minute the Judge might order the work discontinued. To avoid meeting the irate old gen? tleman, and so hastening, perhaps, the dreaded catastrophe, the three confined themselves to the shop, and made every effort to complete their work before they lost the oppor? tunity. Young Baxter was appointed to watch the movements of the Judge, and when at noon he would report that the enemy had left the works for dinner, Morse and Vail would slip out fcr their hasty dinner and hurry back to the room before the Judge re? turned. But at last their perseverance was rewarded and the apparatus stood completed. "William," said Vail to Baxter, "go up to the house and invite father to come down and see the telegraph machine work," and off dashed the boy coatless and hatless, although it was the 6th of January, to carry the glad tidings to the Judge. He was just preparing to go out as Baxter entered the room breathlessly, but on learning the news he went di rectly to the shop. Entering the room, he found his son and Professor Morse awaiting him. Around the room ran several lengths of bonnet wire, with the two newly completed machines at either end. After some explanations the two in ventors each took their places at their instruments and Alfred requested his father to send a message. Cautious to the last, while knowing that there could be no collusion be? tween the experimenters, and in any case having perfect faith in them both, the Judge wrote upon a piece of paper the words: "A patient waiter is no loser," and handing it to his son, said: "If you can send this and Mr. Morse can read it at the other end, I shall be convinced." Only the clicking of the machines now broke the silence. Finally even that ceased, and Morse handed the Judge a slip of paper, on which he found the duplicate in every word of his own dispatch. Then, for the first time, Judge Vail fully realized the actual importance of the demonstrated success, and for an instant he gave way, wholly overcome by his emotions. The telegraph had vindicated itself just in time. Judge Vail had hardly seen or spoken to his son in six weeks and was on the point of ordering the whole experiment discontinued, when he was summoned for the conclusive test. As it was, he now became the telegraph's steadfast friend, bearing all the expenses of the costly young? ster up to the time of its recognition by Congress, which took place five years later in the shape of an appro? priation of $30,000 for erecting the historical line between Baltimore and Washington.

Ga. 8. S. ?. for sale by Wilhit? & W?I? A Prohibition Saloon, A temperance scheme, which com? bines some of the features of the cele? brated Gothenburg plan with others of a novel character, has been devised according to the Chicago Record, by the Prohibitionists of Haverhill, Mas? sachusetts. As any scheme looking to the regulation of the liquor business possesses a painful interest for the people of South Carolina just now, it is as well, perhaps, that we should give this newest one a showing for whatever it may be worth. The last municipal election in Haverhill, it is explained, resulted in a decisive defeat of the temperance people, with the result that last week the licensing of saloons began and within two days twenty-six groceries had sprung into flourishing existence. The Prohibitionists, however, were more incensed than discouraged by the triumph of" their advi-i-saries and determined to "fight fire with fire," Or more exactly speaking, fire water with fire-wntcr. They are according? ly fitting up a fine greggery of their Own?"a palatial saloon" it is called ?wherein they propose to sell intoxi? cating liquors on their own account And just here is where the special and peculiar feature of the plan comes in. No attempt will be made to make a profit on their sales, and they will sell all their goods "at the minimum rate of cost." If whiskey of a suffi? ciently satisfactory grade can be pur? chased at the rate of five cents a glass, .the Prohibitionists will retail it for five cents a glass. Beer, it is prom? ised, will be sold for two cents a glass, and so on. The theory of the plan is, it is ex plained, though the explanation is scarcely necessary, that in the face of the superior attractions and extreme? ly low rates of the Prohibitionists' sa? loon, the other twenty-six establish? ments will lose all their customers and be compelled to surrender their $2,000 licenses and go out of business. Then the Prohibitionists, it is further explained, will close their own rum shop, remaining ready to open it again in case their opponents resume opera tions. It is, as the Record remarks, "an extremely interesting experiment," and the people of the whole coun? try will await the reports of its prac tical operation with no little curiosi? ty. The weak point in the scheme, it is needless to point out, is the announ? ced intention of the Prohibitionists to close their own mill when they have closed its rivals; and if the scheme fails it will probably fail on account of this feature. The old topers and the thirsty public generally of Haver hill will patronize, the new concern at first, of course. They cannot possibly resist the temptation offered in five cent whiskey "of satisfactory grade," and two-cent beer of the same quality These "attractions" alone would draw all the custom of the place if the new saloon were no more "palatial" in its appearances and equipments than a railroad shanty. The other saloons could not possibly compete with such prices, and if the new saloon were a guaranteed fixture of the town the doom of the regular old-fashioned rummeries would be asjjood as sealed The announcement that when the old concerns shall close the new one will close, however, will suffice to save the old ones. The drinking public will have to divide their drinks in ordei to be able to keep drinking?and that, of course, will be fatal to the purposes of the new movement. However, we are willing to have the experiment tried, and to wait and see what will come of it. Our Prohi bition friends have failed signally in the plan they have 'pursued so far, of trying to prevent the sale of liquors, and they cannot fail worse in their new undertaking. It is oncouraging to find them trying new ventures, ana possibly when they attack their old enemies, the saloon keepers, in this way on their own ground and so vig orously, they may be able to force a compromise of some sort that will be acceptable to both sides and work for the good of the public. And that, we think, is how the long conflict will fi? nally end. The free sale of liquor i3 an intolerable evil, and prohibition is an impracticable reform. The sensi ble, temperate people of the country certainly will be able some day to find a safe ground for the business some? where between these extremes.?News and Courier. It Beats the Wind. CHICAGO, June 1.?The Elevated Suspension Elevated Railway Com? pany has been organized to build a railway on an air line between Chicago and New York. The distance is 750 miles, and inventor Johnson says it can be covered in six hours. A dou? ble track road is proposed. The rails will be in the upper part of an elevat? ed steel structure, and the cars will be suspended from the trucks and have no support beneath them. The flan? ges on the wheels of the trucks will run on the outside instead of the inside of the rails as on ordinary rail? ways. Inventor Johnson says: "The speed tobe obtained with light trains on the system is practically un? limited, and depends altogether on the size of the wheel used. Sixty miles per hour could easily be obtained with safety on a fifteen inch wheel, and 120 to 150 miles per hour with a thirty to thirty-three inch wheel on long runs of straight track. "The cars are about six feet in width by twenty feet in length, with a seating capacity of thirty persons. The weight of the car proper is 1,800 pounds, of the trucks and motor, which arc above and upon the rails, 4,200 pounds, and of the passengers 5,000 pounds, making the strain upon a 150 foot span, with a loaded train of two cars upon it, nineteen and one half tons when the train is at rest. "The cost of construction for this system docs not exceed 20 per cent, of the cost of steam elevated roads under ordinary circumstances, while the crossing of streams and the overcom? ing of obstacles to buildings can be accomplished by the use of longer spans without a material increase in expense. About $80,000 per mile fully covers the cost of construction of a four-track road and ?10,000 per mile its equipment, while a two-track road can be built and equipped under $60,000 per mile. "There being no solid structure to act as a sounding board, the noise is less than that of any other system. The flexibility of this system gives an agreeable motion in riding, and re? lieves of all jolting and noise of the rigid structure. There is perfect free? dom from dust, smoke, steam and cin? ders, and in matter of speed, it is be? yond comparison." ? Son : "Father, why do they call preachers doctors of divinity ?" Fath? er (of the old school): "Because so many preachers doctor their divinity to suit their own ideas." ? The young fellow was talking to the old one about his future career. "I'm going to study law," he said, "and go into politics." "Don't do it, my boy." urged the old one. "Why not? Politics is a wide field and men have become great in it." "Possibly in times past; but in these later days, my boy, the politician is always oscil? lating between the poorhouse and the penitentiary, and there's no telling in which plane his old ago will find ?

That is the way it will be with President Cleveland. He is an able, fearless man ; a man with the courage to do what he believes to be right. And he is doing more forbimetallism than any other man living to-day. He is a be? liever in silver. The only question is as to the best way in which to do it. They will come to his idea of it yet. England is already receding from her position, and the day will come when you will see silver restored to the world ; and Grover Cleveland is doing more to that end, as I said, than any other man or force in the world to-day.'' ?

Our in? formant vouches for the truth; but at the same time we would have it understood that we are not responsible. One day last week Mr. Sam Lauthridge, who lives near Fhiladelpnia church, sent a little negro under his house to get the eggs from a hen's nest. Shortly after his disappearance under the house the little negro gave a yell, and with all possible .speed crawled backward. Hanging to his head was a writhing and twisting snake about two and a half feet in length. Just as be got from under the house, the boy seized the snake with a frantic snatch and throw it violently to the ground, where it was quickly dis? patched by Mr. Lauthridge. A careful examination showed that the boy had not been bitten at all: but entangled in the thick wool, was one of the fangs of tbe snake which had evidently been pull? ed out as the boy snatched the reptile from his head. The snake is said to nave been a "spreading" adder.? Yorkvillc Enquirer.

The Salvation Army held a "novel burning night" in Dunnedin, New Zea? land, recently, which attracted a large audience to tho fortress. In the center of the ring on a bier, were placed "yel? low backs" of all kinds, ranging from "Bluecap, the Bushranger," to some of Besant's works.

Tho ugly-looking creatures were taken to the cock-pit, their jaws forced open and some whiskey forced Into their throats. Then thoy were turn? ed loose on each other. About ?s was put up on tho contost, but thero was an understanding that no decision would bo rondored uuless one of tho snappors gavo up or was killed. Tho big turtlos engaged each other at once, each tearing his antagonist's head and neck with hor-jy beak, until one fastened a grip on the other's 'flipper.' After a brief strug? gle to break tho hold, the turtle whose 'flipper' was fast, seized tho other by tho neck and they stopped struggling. Aside from a stoady 'weaving' motion by both combatants, thero was no demon? stration for several hours. The crowd of men watched them from early evening until long after midnight, when tho two turtles, each holding his 'grip' on the other, woro carried away from the pit and placed in the cellar of a deserted house. This was two months ago, and neither of the snappors has shown any symptoms of weakening his hold, although their plate-bordered mouths are twisted out of shape by the continuous tension of their jaws." w t PRICE 60 CENTS PER BOT7'? > O BOOK OF valuable INFORMATION FREE. -> ? for sale by druggists.
