you all know my stock consists of everything iu the
Hardware, House-Furnishing, and Agricultural

fy yourselves that I am offering bargains in everything. , As this" is
the time'of the year for Shovel Plows and Cultivators, call and see
my stock, which I am selling right down to first cost. I am also
offering great bargains in

SOMETHING YOUNG KEN 8H0ULD KEAD.

. 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-..

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

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 ;

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.

daily illustrated Graphic was when first
started. - Thete hare been Sunday papers

at least some time during the rebellion,

ing" thaf the great Interest In the war hews
would make the 5uhday paper welcome.
But the moral sense of tb community was
shocked, and? Mr, Greeley abandoned the
, field. Only one other, and that a special
Sunday issue, was published during Mr.
Greeley'elifettme, and that wa ordered by
Mr. Whitelaw - Retd -without consulting
either Gre4y-or 8amnet Sinclair, the
publisher. 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.''
But it was not until some years later,
when he had become editor-in-chief, that
Mr. Keid ventured to issue the Tribune
regnlarly on Sunday. The conscientious
opposition to Sunday papers has entirely
disappeared.
HUNTING THE CONDOR.
KOVIL WAR DECLARED BT CHIilAH,
The Government Offer a Reward re
the Head of th Volt area A
"Wonderful Bird.
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."

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

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

chase his ancestral estate of Schonh ausen,

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

swam beautifully. On the return he
