The proper place for this kind of education is the workshop , and the method a system of appren ticeship , covering in every case three to five years. The smattering of a mechanical trade which boys may ob tain at school does more harm than jood. No boy can obtain a thorough < nowledge of any craft under five years steady application to it , and that under the best order of personal instruction. The instructor must be as much interested as the apprentice. Thirty years pretty steady application to a trade and contact with thousands of men who profess to be journeymen it it , convinces us that not one man in a hundred who gains his living by t is a really accomplished workman. Not one in fifty know as much about it as a well versed apprentice should mve acquired by the end of his term. Skilled workman are growing fewer every year , while the number of in competents is steadily increasing. "What is needed is not an opportunity 'or "tinkering" in the schools , but a eturn to the old-fashioned system which prevented a man from obtain- ng work as a jour unless he had his graduation papers from the boss who taught him the trade. Topics. PjtiN'CE BISMAKCIC perhaps receiv ed the heaviest left hatuier of his long career when Tom Ochiltree drew In's portrait in the American House of Commons. Tom said : "Bismarck , the arrogant chancellor , intoxicated with ihe alcohol of egotism ( beer ? ) , a syco phant of imperialism , had acted a characteristic part. " "When the chan cellor finds some English scholar ca pable of rendering these memorable words into resounding German , and not afraid to do it in his presence , he will send for old Von Moltke to swear in seven languages. A SALT LAICE machinist has invent ed "what is called a "balance engine , " and it is so constructed that there is 1:0 friction either in the pistons or in the valve. The latter is so free from wear and tear that the steam escapes in steady columns instead of in puffs , as in ordinary engines. MK. BUKDETTE , of the Hawkeye , was brutally assaulted by an insur ance agent. There are moments in an editor's life when even a humorist can extract no fun from the situation.

Talbot - * j bet , -who recently died from the effects ; of a drunken debauch at Elkhart , , Indiana i "But now the straggle fs over , I I can survey the field and measure the ? ' losses. I had position high and holy. The demon tore from around me ther robes of my sacred office , and sent me out , churchless and Godless , a very hissing and byword among men. Af terward I had business large and lu crative and my voice' was heard in large courts , pleading for Justice , mercy and right. But the dust gath ered on my books and'no footfalls crossed the threshold of the drunk ard's office. I had money , ample/for all necessities , but it took wdhgs , and went to feed the coffers of the * devils which possessed me. I had a home , adorned with all that wealth and the most exquisite taste-could buy. The devil crossed its threshold , and the light faded from its chambers ; the fire went out on the holiest of altars , and leading me from the portals , de spair walked forth from me and sorrow row and anguish lingered within. I had children beautiful to me at least as a dream of the morning and they had so entwined themselves around their father's heart that no matter where it might wander , ever it came back to them on the wings of a fath er's undying love. The destroyer took his hand in his and led them away. I had a wife whose charms of mind and person were such that to see her was to remember , and to know her was to love her. For thirteen years we walked the rugged path of life together , rejoicing in its sunshine and sorrowing in its shade. The in fernal monster would nol evin. spare me this. I had a mother , who for Ibm * _ years had not left her chair , a victim of suffering and disease , and her choic est delight was reflecting that the les sons taught at her knee had taken root in the heart of her youngest born , and that he was useful to his fellows , and an honor to her who bore him. But the thunderbolt even reached there and did its most cruel work. . Other days may cure all but this. Ah , me ! never a reproach from those lips ; only a shadow of unspoken grief gath ering on her dear old face only a. tender hand laid more lovingly upon my head ; only a closer clinging- the cross ; only a piteous appeal to- heaven if her cup was at last not full. And while her boy raged in his wild delirium two thousand miles awav , . the pitying angels pushed the golden gates ajar , and the mother of the drunkard entered into rest. . And thus- I stand , a clergyman Avithoufr a church , , a barrister without a brief or business , a father without a child , a husband without a wife , a son without a parent , . a man without hope all swallowed up in a maelstorm of drink. . " THE Mr. Lauer , of Omaha , whose- brutal treatment of his wife Avas the- ubject of a special djspatch from that point in Wednesday's paper , is heart broken over the exposure. His friends- claim that "his temper is so-terribly high that he does things while- under its influence that he would not think of doing- when in his rijdit mind. " O 7 "We have heard that plea before. But we have noticed that these men with terrible tempers seldom or never lose control of them in the presence of an. able-bodied man. It is only when their rage is excited by a woman or a " child that it becomes so slippery they cannot hold on to it % "We do not re member to bave heard of Mr. Lauer as a fighter , hence we conclude he has a temper of the slippery kind. \Ye have sort of a extra-judicial opin ion about a man who has it , tc the elfect that New Jersey justice is about r the only tiling that will reach his , . , -ij case.
