SOMETHING YOUNG KEN 8H0ULD KEAD. The Lata Cwtrd Plerrepent- Ex tracts Irons m Letter Wrlttesi : . lllu bf .HU I'slhtr, . r. . The recent , death of young Edward i Pierrepout,. Secretary of the American , Legation of Kouie, brinRs out a private letter ex-Minister Pierrepout wrote six years ago to his sou at college. Tbo ' deceased, say an intimate friend of the family, was a young niunof rare gifts and - accomplishments and of great promise. He was a brilliant scholar, a ciosestudent. a thoroughly apright Christian gentis man, and a manly lellow. He was edu cated at Oxford Cnirersity, Kngland, and died ot Roman fever at the early age of . twenty-five years, ahattcring brilliant hopes and rainbow promlaes. On march 8th, 1870, Mr. Pierrepont wrote the Utter In question for the future guidance and ' help of his son. It was full of wisdom and rare discretion, nnd young men who read it wfll donbtless be inspired and strengthened by its teachings and grtlded by Its counsels. We make the foUowina; liberal extract from the letter : - .- i - My Dbak Sox I would gladly save you . froru much annoyance and trom many sorrows, by giving you the benefit of my own experience. I also know how prone boys are to think that the times have changed since their fathers were young, and that the true rules for the conduct of lire have ceaswl to be the same. .My son. as you grow older, you will find that from tne time or olot;ion 10. !..Mir m-.. nature has not changed the truide to a protperou.. at njj 'rj n.rwl i.

U waa n aeu that Kirt There Is a great first cause which rnles the world; a something which we can but dimly comprehend, because it is to vast for our finite minds It is I he In finite. ItisGod. It ia fruitless to try ' to And- ont tJod." He is "our father In Heaven ;" this is sll that the simple child can know ; it is all thnt the triost learned man ran ever know. That this (ireat Cre- ator Is just and merciful, and rules by equal laws we have every reason to be lieve : and that it is one of. the Creator's laws that enr lives (nay be influenced by earnest prayer for guidance, iu the right way, there Is no doubt. ' Kvery day ask our" Heavenly Father to Snide yon in ail things in the way which I right, and you will not gn wrong. . If sceptics wish to talk with you about It, don't anrne; arguments on these sub Jeets never do any good you rniu'lit as well argue that you loved your mother. Practice what I suggest, end you will know from conscious experience- that what I tell you U tme, and you will be made much happier and serener day by day, and far more prosperous In thi - world.-' , Second That truth, unfaltering: integ rity, justice and honor are never to be de ported from under any tircumBtatices. ' Without strict Integrity, justice and , honor, no one can have continued success In anything, or lasting respect from any body. Everyone is found out sooner or later,: and : much sooner than be supposes. Indeed, your true character is i sure to be known, and sure to be justly appreciated. - I pray- you, my son, never trouble ' your elf about popularity. IX) right, the best ,you can, deserve respect, and you will be certain to have it. ' 8occees comes not of spasmodic effort, but of continued every day work. Head the fable of '"the hare and the tortoise " and profit by its teachings, and remember that success with honor, is one of the biKhest pleasures of life. ; An idle life is a worthless and unhappy one. Never go to balls and parties in term time, and arold late wines and suppers at all tiraes they alwnya injure the herUtti, and without health lite has scarce a pleasure. From his birth! Ssmpson drank neither wine nor strong drink, and theme, who are trained for the ring imitate bis example During our late war, it was conclusively "proved that those who- drank wuter imiIv )?, escaped disease and endured fntigue far 1KVU1IU UICOIIICFS. .

" ; t 1 a t Never ny cards fer money. It is no pleasure to wtjn a fellow student's money, and H is pain to loae your own. The habit ia always bad and oftentimes fatal; never acquire it. Dreas like a "gr-ntleman : ttererbe pecu liar or flahy, but dress as become you. Dot as become aonie one else. Never talk about your expenses or your money, and never - he ashamed - to live with economy; on the contrary, he proud of it. Yonr business now is to acquire knowledge, and you need not be anxious to display yours, especially to older men ; but always try to learu of them. Never t.ay to another what it would be unpleasant to have him say to you. KememlcT that good manners are of great importance. Manners should be frank ana easy, with dignity. Avoid fawning, toadying ways as you would the foul liend. Never fawn to a prince or swagger to a peasant. He courteous and manly everywhere and to everybody. let your manners be quiet; nothing ia more underbred than a flurried address, with a face wrinkled all over, with grin ning delight. Von cannot have good manners In the drawing room, if your habitual manner s bad ; the habit will betray you : let the habit be always good. Be a gentleman ; feel like a gentleman ; and you will look like one. Sometimes you wiU be neglected," and your vanity may feel wounded ; never let this annoy you ; be absolutely sure that in due time all will come right and that yon will have aU the consideration which yoa merit, No one can do you any permanent iniury but yourself. The world is so con stituted that it is not in man's power to withhold respect from lofty character, rea ability and good conduct. You may be invited to a ball or a dinner because you dance and tell a good story ; but no one since the time of Qneen Eliza beth has been made a cabinet minister or a lord chancellor for such reasons. The years of youth are short, and the pleasures of youth perish in manly life. Reputation, power, and the consideration which comes of ability, attainments and good character are what the man from thirty to seventy covets. Nothing bnt the well spent years of early life can se cure these. I would keep you from no enjoyment suited to your age which are not Injurious to your real happiness and your future success. - You hare health and a good constltation, and you have no inherited tendencies to any Ytee. It is easy for you to do right, and it will, be unpardonable if you go astray. Remember that when you are twenty five you will desire what others value at that age, and sot every future stage of life. I meau what the higher order of uiea value. Live each year In the way which will best lit ycAt for the next year, and thus you will lead a happy life: a life which will secure to you the happy life to come. Feel always a manly pride that you are an American, and that your future is here. I have a letter from the Dean to day, in which he says " Your son's Improvement has really astonished me." Continue to astonish the Dean and to delljht me. .This shows that you have ths atlllty; and that here will be no excuse and no fnrrfon if you are nut faithful in the fo ur. From time to time I shall hear from the - Dean, and also flora your tutor, and they : will tell me all and only the trnth They will reveal your shortcomings, if you have them, as well as your merits. You accept too many fnvitutions from your fellow stndenta. This will wer.kea your ener gies and prevent j our success, beside, you will become a bore, which avoid, as vou would the "i plague. ": short visits do not bore. When we last met you did not carry yourself erect. You seemed to think that you vere awkwardly tall, and you tried to look shorter: this is a mistake, you are nineteen years old and scarce more than aix feet high: that is not too tall but If you grow to any height, carry yourself erect. : When you have done the duties of the day, and dene them well, take your pleas ures, which will be all the more keen, and when you have well finished the la bors of the term, you will enjoy the vaca tion a thousand times the more by reason of your successful toil. 1 do not need, in this letter, torepeat the warnings uguinst those pettv vices, temp tations and lollies of which f have soofteu poken.

It was dated Sunday, Septem ber 4, 1870 and gave details of the fall of Sedan and the capture of Napoleon III. and McMahon's army, an event which th Tribun twodays before had predicted a th inevitable end of the movement then making. I - remember that Mr. Greeley wrote Mr. Keid. who wan then managing editor, that thla special tasu was the beat newspaper he had ever seen. ' But," be added, l' you ought to have got in that little editorial of mine on salt.''

Th Chilian government has declared and Is carrying ou a novel war," said Cornelias W. Ryersan, of New York, wh arrived horn from South Amerloa re cently, "and that la a war of extermina tion against th gigantic vultur of the Andes, th condor. The government Issued a proclamation last year declaring the birds to be aa enemy of the republic Condors have increased so rapidlr ithln th past few years all along the. tern slop of the great mountain chain which is their habitat that they have become by their foul habits a scourge that has in creased the already sufficiently unwhole some character of the country. With the hope of exterminating them or greatly decreasing their numbers, the government in its proclamation, offered a bounty of IS for every condor killed. A friend of mine who lives in Chili wrote to me that he be lieved there was a chance to make a great deal of money by engaging In condor hunt ing. and as I had several years' experience in mountain climbing and hunting all sort of wild beasts and birds both In this and other countries, I went down there last fall to see what there might be in this con dor hunting. Well. I was there five months, and after a-perslstent campaign against the condor with guns and traps I made up my unnd that a mau has got to be 100 per cent, smarter than I am if he ever gets rich on condor bounties, and that if the Chilian goveruruent expects to rid Itself of Its big winged outlaw it will have to detail every man, woman and child In the country to lake up arms against It. ''The hunting of condors hsj been a regular business In the Andes mountain for nianr years, and the natives hav 'made som money by It, but like all th -vultur family, the condor grows' aus - ptciou and warr from cootar-t with man kiud. and It has grown to know and fear gun so that tt is next to impossible to get within gunshot or one. "Snares are now the only mean by whtch condors may be taken with any certamty, and they have learned to be on the lookout for them. These birds have the most wonderful power of vUion and flight of any living creature ol the air. Perched on mountain peaks above th elouds. they w atch the trails which mules and lama follow with their burden thousands of feet below them, and if ao animal die. and is left on the plain, these monster vultures sec It. and although no human sight cau dis cover tuepresence of a single bird, lu a few seconds" time they will be seen dropping down froni the clouds . like .thunderbolts. Formerly the hunter iok advantage of this swooping down upon the carcasses of dead animals by h'uing within gunshot and picking off pn or two condors before they could rise out of range. Traps were also set beside dead "bodies of mules and other animals. Bnt this can rarely be done successfully now, so wary has the condor become. The same wonderful yes that keep the trailing caravan in view or discover the carcass left lying for its use, notes also the hunter hiding with his gun, or the trapper arranging his snare by the carcass, and the hi4 .-t-ty ou it perch, lo shoot it on the wn.c. I unless you are fortunate enough to lie ttecreted pear some lofty peak when the 1 bird tomes sailing through the clouds to seek it for a perch, is eutirely out cf the question, for it flies at altitudes such aa no other bird attains. This lying In wait, however, far above the snow line for a chance to put a ball through a condor is something that requires more grit and nerve than the average hunter can boast, and consequently there are not many con dors killed on the wing. These birds hatch their young among the snow-covered crags of the Andes, sometimes 12,0U0 feet above the sea. and the bird has been seen at an altitude of WO.uuO feet. Once in a great while you may hear of some hun ter bold enough to clamber to the nesting places among thee crags In search of con dor nests, as the capture of the young or the eggs is as profitable as killing a grown bird, but such exploits are few and far between. There are always two t-ggs in a nest, and. as there Is nothing that ventures to makes the condor its prey except the hnnter, when a condor makes its nestXit does so with more certainty that there will be more of its kind added to the fami ly in the course of time than does auy other bird or beast. . Traps are fet as high among these nesting places as the hunter can dare to venture, and many of the birds are captured iu that way. "There is no more startling sight than from some snowy rock so high in the mountain that the elouds hide the world from yonr view to see one of these im mense birds break suddenly through the dense vapor below you and sail upward with the broad sweep of its ponderous wings-into the haunts where it dwells alone in the solitude. ; it seems like some winged demon daring to seek the realms "of temperature beyond which human ex istence is Impossible, ' and is at home among the -snowy peaks of Chili and Peru as well as upon the burning sands ' of PatAgonia. W ila a sweep of wing twelve 'feet in extent the swiftness of a condor's flight U such tbat it will sail out of sight, notwithstanding Its great size, within the space of a v-ery few minutes. It rrmy with ease eat it breakfast in the northern Andes and twelve hours later go to roost among the peaks of the southern sea coast. .... "If it were possible to get at the nests of the condor so that it eggs might be destroyed, there might be some chance ' that the outlawed bird would in time be exterminated, but the systematic scaling of icy peaks to the hightof anywhere from li,000 to 1B.U0U feet above the ocean lor th . purpose of bird-nesting, even nt - a nest, is not likely to ever come to pass Poison ing of the birds might be made effectual, bnt unless some poison can be made so deadly that it will kill the bird as it stands over the carcase it is devouring, that means of extermination cannot be made practical. The hunter must produce the evidence that, he has killed . condor be fore he tan secure the bounty. , That evi dence is the bird's head. ,A poisoned bird "would carry that evidence with him aud die with it among inaccessible peaks. The poisoning of condors has been tried and was not satisfactory to the hunters. ' I am , of "the opinion that this -bird has the quality of self-presevation developed too ' largely to make its annihilation even re moUtly probable. When the last South American dies there will . be plenty of candors ready to devour his body if ,they bave the opportunity." "What She Sang.

BIAH PARTRIDGE. Hew He Iade III Reputation and Fortaas-Kol Such a Bsckvrhstl A He Looked. They tell a good story in th furniture trade of how Josiah Partridge rose to for tune and won the thousands of dollars that give him so conspicuous a place in busi ness In New York. Mr. Partridge was. to all appearances, an unsophisticated, easy-going Yankee with no special ambi tion br purpose in life till he was some where between SO and 40 years of age. At that time the Heywards, of Gardner, Mass.. were the practical controllers of the chair business in New-England aa they had been the trade's pioneers. Among their hands at Gardner was Josiah Par tridge, or 'Slab, as they all called him. H was a hard worker, temperate, steady, and married. His wages amounted pos sibly to as mach as a round dollar a day. The change In his life came about tn a sudden, not to say a very funnv, sort of a way. He had been barking a lot of log In the factory yard atlGardner all through an Intensely hot Jnly morning. Along about noon he threw down his adze and leisurely perched himself In the shadef a friendly elm close baa ids the scene of his labor. There, bathed in a smile of satis faction, he was discovered by one of bis employers, who It may have been the heat that made him unnaturally Impetu ous of speech fiercely began to preach Upon the contemptible mean ncs of ye servlce. "What do you suppose we are doing, paying you for loafing, Josiah Partrldgef was the petulant demand. " Man and boys." retorted Partridge, " I've worked for you folks faithfully, Mr Hey ward, ami if you get into such a passion for resting a bit on such a blazing day as this, why, you U doit when I'm not around " Day after day passed and still Josiah Partridge put in no ap pearance at the Gardner shop. He had set himself down and reasoned out the secret of a new stride In successful chairmaking. When he fixed upon his plan he went c.nietly to the bank and dsew out his saving, just tux). After tbat he was seen no more In Gardner. One year later some of the firms that had been struggling -in competition with . the wealthy Heywards bean to receive let tors from away np In the Vermont wood. These missives stated In effect that the expense of floating rafts of logs down to th Massachusetts factories, as was then the universal custom, with the stripping off of the bark, drying and sawing and pinning, etc., might be done away with and that one Josiah Partridge could send down frames all ready for finishing, guaranteeing that In one car he could pile up "more of these frames than a river full of big logs could ever be turned into" after their tedious and costly royage to the Hay State. Trials were made. Jo.ab 's offers accepted, and before the Heywoods had their eyes fairly opened rival firms about them were turning out goods at ririces that were amazing. Then tbey too nrnpoi toward the forusls tn srt up saw mills, but Josiah Partridge had his grip well f.xed by this time, and that paltry VHKi which a couple of years br fore had represented about all his wealth in the world had developed Into big proportions. He had no lack or capital now ; rich men, captured by his originality and his pluck, wanted to join him. He combined .- his company went into manufacturing chairs out ana out, and the fortune grew. He came to New York, and to look at the rich , old fellow now you would never imagine i that he was getting half as much fun out ! of bis thousand as he probably got out of , his quiet snooze thnt was so suddenly In j terrr.pted that July day so long ago. .V j l". Tl.. - - - - VACCINATION. Bow the Process Works In the II a ma a Syetens Subjected So Vims. Pasteur had little difficulty, say Prof. Tyndall in the Popular Science Monthly, in establishing the parasitic origin of fowl cholera: indeed, the parislte had been observed by others I efore him. Bnt by bis successive cultivations he rendered the solution snre. His next step will re main forever memorable in the history of medicine. I allude to what he calls " vi rus attennatlon," And here it may be well to throw out a few remarks in ad vance. When a tree or a bundle of wheat or barley straw is burned, a certain amount of mineral matter remains in the ashes extremely small-' in comparison with the bnlk of the tree or of the straw, but absolutely essential to its growth. In a soil lacking or exhausted of the neces sajy mineral constituents, the tree cannot live, the crop cannot grow. Now, contagia are living thinzs. which demand certain element of life jnst as inexorably as trees or wheat or barley: and it 1 not dif ficult to see that a crop of a given parasite may so far use up a constituent existing in small quantities in the body, but essen tial to the growth of the parasite, an 10 render the body unfit for the production of a second crop. The soil Is exhausted, and until the lost constituent is restored the - body is protected from any rnrther attack of the Same disorder. Such an explana tion of non-recurrent diseases natnrally ptesents itself to a thorough believer ia the germ theory, and such was the solu tion which, in reply to a question, I ven tured to offer nearly fifteen years ago to an eminent lxrndon physician. - To ex haust the soil, however, a parasite lcs vigorous and destructive than the really virulent one may suffice; and if, after hav ing by means of a feebler organism, ex hausted the soil withont fatal result, the moat highly virulent parasite be intro dacedintotbe system it will prove pow erless. This, in the language of the germ theory, is the whole secret of vaccina tion, . . , . . ..... Bismarck's Frl vat Fortune. . Prince Bismarck's private affairs, says the Iyondon Times, have just been inves tigated by the committee charged to pur- !. chase his ancestral estate of Schonh ausen, tn Altmark, as a national present to the j Prince on his seventieth birthday. The revenue of the estate of Varzin, in Pome rania, fpreaented to Prince PIsmarck by the nation in 1SC7.) is nearly 2,000 a year. The great -foroat property -of Fried rich em he, in Ijiuenburg, was presented to the Prince in 1871. The timber on the es tate brings in 14,000 a year and the farm about 1.00. The rental of Sehonhausea Is 1,000 a year. Prinre Bismarck has erected extensive paper mills and manu factories both nt Varzin nnd Friedrich smhe, nnd these have proved very euc cessful and bring him iu nearly 10.ix) a year. His annual income therefore is np vtsrdof dUlHjOOu, exclusive of his salary as Chancellor (A2.7UO and allowances and his pension of 4r as a former Mli.ister of . Lauenbnrg.
