A young man t mployed, we believe, as book keeper in a lanje dry jroods bouse in 1'hilhdelphia, was arrested a tdiort time ago on a charge of robbing his employer. He bad been in the habit of carrying off silks, etc., and pawning them, until the amount reach ed was considerab'e as to be detect ed. The young man confessed his guilt, and ashih family was respectable, ii compromise was effected, the 6to!en goods returned, and the prisoner al lowed to escape without other punish ment than the disgrace of having been convicted of felony. This is a com rnooplace matter enough ; the gist of it lies in the fact that, although the salesman held a most respectable po sition, and was not only by birth and habit a gentleman, but had proven himself an effcient business man, he received a salary of only three dol lare per week. In order to live, he stated frankly, that he was driven to eteal. Nor is this pittance of wages an exceptional case, cither in this city or in Philadelphia. The streets are crowded with lads of from fifteen to twenty years of age, utterly without means, cursed with too genteel birth to earn their living as mechanics, eager to jret into the grooves of business lifa, and frequently with capacity to succeed if once placed in them. They arc taken into business establishments as under clerks, and usually worked hard and paid pitiable salaries. Of course the obvious remedy is for these boys to avoid the cities. There is oo need for them all to become far mers, though that is our usual pre scription for this evil. But all western and many of the inland eastern villages offer higher inducements and more cer tain success. The employers very likely wash their hands in innocency in this matter with the inevitable casuitry about the law of supply and demand. One of the largest merchants in Phila delphia, a man eminent in all benevo lent enterprises and Young Men's Christian Associations, refuses to pay more than three dollars per week to his assistant book keepers, asserting that he turns away applicants daily who would be glad to take that price, and that any boy, who for the sake of gen tility prefers to starve keeping books when he could earn five times as much as journeyman mechanic, is a fool. All of which is true enough. But on tho other hand, the man, philanthropist or otherwise, who gets a full week's work out of his drudge and pays him a pittance which he knows will not feed him, much less clothe him, simp ly puts a premium on theft, and if it is his cash box that suffers, wo are not surprised, nor is it to him our sympa thy is given. Captain Colvocores The brave, old tar, Captain Colvo coresses, who was brutally murdered at Bridgeport, was during the late war, in command of the little sloop of war St. Marys, which comprised nearly all the effective force of the usually pow erful Pacific Squadron. He chanced to be on duty at Valparaiso when that port was menaced by a powerful Squad ron under the command ot Admiral Pizoon, and was exceedingly active in his efforts to protect the rights and property of the American citizens. For his success, as well as for a famous correspondence with the Spanish Ad miral, he will be long remembered there. Somewhat inexplicably, he -ain'u in one morning from a short cruj.-e outride, and anchored the St. Marjs directly in front of: the business portion of the city, anil between it and the iron clad ships of tie Spaniards. Piozou cat Lug awkwardness of the filiation, and in a characteristically ar rogant note in funned him that he had bettor move his corvette, as he intended to bouibard the place, and would not he answerable i'r any damages that mio'lit result. This rused the ire of the Greek, and he hastened to inform theSpauUh Admiral, in language that was a model of explicit ness and force, that the fe't. Marys was anchored to his perfect satisfaction, and would re main where bhc was, and added fur ther ; " In the event of a bombardment of the ci'y, I beg, you, sir, to have a care that none of your shot touch tho hull of the .St. Marvs. I am perfectly aware of the weakaesa uiy corvette in comparison with the powerful squad ron c( her )ost Catholic Majesty now blockading the fort, but I beg, sir, to remind you that the flag that flouts at her peak represents 3,000 guns on the sea." The correspondence was printed in the Spanish papers, aud, besides cre ating the greatest enthusiasm for the plucky Captain, rather opened the eyes of the Chi'cnos to the tremendous ef fective furce of our navy at the time. Hut his action subsequently caused him no little inconvenience, for whenever he showed himself on shore he found him self immediately surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic, citizens who attributed the immunity of their city for a long time afterward to his refusal, and who made the hills ring with their vivas for the brave Americano." .... ... - Coming Back on Him. When J. 11. Doolittlc of Wisconsin, left the Re publican party, Horace Greeley said this of him : Able, adroit, and early schooled in the arts of the self-seeking politician, he has for years done his 'level best, against the party which has so honored and trusted him. He worked like a beaver, with tongue and pen, to defeat General Grant, and his labors were crowned with the largest Republican vote and the most sweeping Republican victory ever realized in Wisconsin We believe the majority there would have been twenty thousand had he re mained faithful; it was swelled to tweqtyfour thousand one hundred and fifty-two by. the intensity of the popu lar detestatiou of Doolittle, his works and his ways. The Milwaukie, Wis , Sentinel adds : Tho same " popular detestation " that was then felt in this State for Doolittlc is now felt for Greeley. An Extensive Farmer. An ex change says : "The Stanislaus county News of June 28th gays : As an index to the extent of agricultural productions of our valley, we need only stato that we have no one farmer in our midst whose bill ot expenses for tho one itim of sacks alone, in which to sack his crop of the present year, is estimated to be 830,000. This unpretending, plain citizen is John Mitchell, Esq., of our county, who has sown grain the present year on his own lands 30,000 acres. The question presents itself is not Mr. Mitchell the greatest wheat producer in the world? If not, whore is the man who excels him ? If there can be any one individual farmer found who sur passes him, we believe that next year Mr Mitchell would go him many acres better, as he has yet thousands of acres in our valley uncultivated that will bo ready for the plow. ; Wholesome Rules. 1 Never incur a liability that you do not clearly see your way to meet. 2 Never upon any account, indorse a note for a friend, unless either he gives you ample security, or you can af ford to pay it, should your friend Jo so. More men have been ruined by endwrs- ing for inhere Jhan ia any other way.Tjying that there was no virtue in them, Many of the best business inea, npw-a-days, utterly refuse to endorse fr any one, and this is by far the best plan except in .certain instances, 3 Never fail to pay a debt upon the very day you have promised, and upou no account ever let your note be pro tested if you can help it. j 4 Never allow yourself to be dun ned twice for a bill. If you are not prepared to pay it when first presented fix a day when you will certainly pay it, and fail not to bo ready with the money when the day conies. By ob serving these rules your credit wilt toon come to be ranked as A No. 1, and you will always be able to command the best bargains, because, as the people say, "y . areas good as the bank." 5 Never have money layinsr jround loose," or carry much with you. or ke;p mueb on hand in your house. People will find out your habits in this regard and people will talk, and the first; thing you know a professional "cracksman" will pay you a visit. ! G When a sura of money is re ceived, invest it, first by paying any debts you owe, second by securing everything you need, cither for your family or farm, and third if not re quired for ithcr of these purposes, loan it out on good frceurieties. 7 Beware of owning ti;o much un productive real estate. The j taxes make this an unprofitable invesMneut. 8 Invest iu no enterprij-e' that you cannot, to omc extent look after your , self, or which von do not fully under s'and. Much capital is every year foo'ed awy by investment in concerns managed by tricky or impracticable men, which never pay a dividend, and sooner or later are h11 out to piy the! debts that have overwhelmed them. 0 Beware of speculation, j It is only gambling by another name , and the pero3 indulging in it is far more likely to lose ten dollars in it than to make one. j 10 If youshould be in debt for your homestead, or indeed for any property, insure your life for an amount sufficient to pay the debt, should you unexpect edly drop off, and thus avoid the pos sibility of your heirs losing the: whole property, through in ability to ty ott the claims against it. j 11 Never permit your expenses, in tho course of a year, to exceed your income. Bankruptcy is the natural result. j 12 Never go to law without the great est reasons. It is a game that both sides jzet hurt at, and the chances are only about one in three that you will get what you will consider justice. The best provision that can ba made for one's family is a thorough cdacation for each one ; we mean education in its broadest sense, embracing the cn tire preparation for a useful life, and for self maintenance.! This is better, for every son and daughter, than even the fortune of an Astbr w.mld be. The Almiuiity! DorxAitj Bro. Smith, what does this mean ? j What does what mean ? ; Bringing a nigger to this church. The pew is my own. Your own? Is that any reason why you should insult the whole congrega tion ? But he ia intelligent and well edu cated. Who cares for that ? He's a; nigger. But he is a friend of mine. What of that? Must you insult the whole congregation 1 ; But he is a Christian and belongs to tho same denomination. j What do I care for that? Let him go anu worsnip witti ins leiiow ntg-i 1 gcrs. : But he is worth fivo million dollars. Worth what ? Five million dollars. Worth five million dollars?! Jeru salem ! Bro. Smith, introduce me. ... Bishop Whitehouse, recently under took to illustrate a point in his sermon by telling his congregation howj ho had once been lost on the prairies of Illi nois, and had wandered a long time, weary and hopeless. At last he saw, a light, and he made his way toward it shouting for help. "Just as I thought I could go no further," said the'Bishop, " and was about sinking down; in dis pair, tho door of a cabin opened before me, and the long looked for! tuccor came." The unintentional pun brought tee nousc aowa. ..i i . "All Hands Below." A good story is told of a parrot, who had always lived on board a ship, but who escaped at one of the southern ports, and took refuge in a church. Soon afterward the congregation assetn bled, and the minister bejan preaching to them, in a regular red-hbt fashion. that every one of them would go to hell, unless tbey speedily repented. Just as he spoke the sentence, out poke the parrot from his hiding-place : 'All hands below!" To say that "all hands" were start led, would be but a mild way of puU ting it. The peculiar voice, from its unknown source, had much more effect upon theoi than the parson's voice ever had. He waiteu a moineut, and then, a shade or two paler, he repeated the warning. 'All hands below !" Again rang out from somewhere. The preucher started from his pulpit, and looked anxiously around, inquiring if anybody b.xi spoken. "All hands below J" was the only re ply, st which the entire panic-stricken congregation got up and a moment af ter they all 'bolted for the doors, the preacher trying his best lobe first, and during the lime, the mischievous bird kept up his yelling : "Alt hands below !" There wai an old woman there, who was lame, and could not ;et out no fast as tho rest, and, in a very short time, she was left entirely alone. Just as she was about to bobble out, the parrot flew down. ntid. alighting ou her shoul der, yelled in her ear : "All hand below I" "No, no, Mister Devil," shrieked the old woman ; "you can't meau m. J don't belong here. I go to the other church, across the way !" Remaukahlk Coinoipknces Here, is another singular coincidence An Orange county, N. Y., man cut off hi: forefinger with an ax. What raakc." this accident a curious one. says a local paper, is that his father met with pre cisely the same accident when about the same ae. It is wonderful how accidents run in same families r.uw they arc hereditary, as it were. We once knew a nun who knocked his head agaihst a dour, and that man's son was ever after afflicted with trouble of the head. lie wbh continually running it against some other boy's fi-t, and the amount of court plaster which was used ou his scalp, the number of kes which were put on his bck to stop tlu flow of bfood from his nose, and the qumti ties ol oysters whieh were applied to hi eyes to reduce the swelling, were ' appalling to c ntemplate. Wo also knew another I mnly in winch acci dents were heridatary. A lady gave birth to a female child when she was fifteen years seven months and nine days old, and that female child was af flicted in the same way at tho same ne the only difWcncc of account in th;s singular coincidence being that the child thi time was a boy. so the acci dmt cannot well be repeated. An individual named Matlock, a res idctit of Douglas county, h s written a letter to the New York Tribune , say ing that Oregon wis carried in June by fraud, and that Greeley will carry the vote of the state by one thousand in November. Mr. Matlock must have the trick of prophecy, since he has been a citizen ol Oregon but a short tune, and cannot possibly know from obser vation anything about the politics of the State. Just before the recent election in this State he appeared in the Rep- lican Oonv ution soliciting the nomina tion for Prosecuting Attorney for the Second Judicial District. He was not nominated, and went home a "Liberal Republican.' He "elected" himself a delegate to the Cincinnati Convention, and sent his proxy by Jasper Johnson, telling his neighbors in Douglas county th it he hoped to find a more "generous" party thau the one which had meanly refused to nominate him for office. So says the Oregon ion Sensible Advice. A great many boys, as well as men, complain that they cannot get employment. Perhaps you cannot get such a place as you like, but when you get a place, make yourself useful in it; make yourself st nece-sary by your fidelity and good behavior, that they canuot do without you. Be content with a low prico ut first, no matter what the prico ts. if it is hon est work. Do it well doit tho very best you can. Begin at the very low est rouud of tho ladder, and climb up. The great want anywhere is faithful capable workers. They are never a drug in the market. Make yourself one of these, and there will always bo a place for you, and a good one! too.
