NOT so.

The Chicago Journal having made mis-.
and had it pointed out by one who
hows the truth, attempts to shuttle of the
psponsibihty of its own error and place it
pom others shoulders. We cannot permit 80
hmanly mode of retrsction to go unno-
bed. The Journal, on the l4th lust, said
The democratic state central committee.
hich met in this city two or three weeks ago to
Ilk over the affairs OF sfthe party,o preparatory
the fall campaign, deemed it polite and shrewd
issue call, not for democratic state conven-
bn, but for state convention of all who are op-
;psed to the stradlcals'
This 10 statement of the Journal, made
Ipon its own authority, and is not true. The
I,1rnal of the 19th attempts to get out Of the
s,rape by saying:
Now, as regards the proposed state convention,
he had no less authority than the Chicago Tunes
In stating that the committee had determined to
ztll state convention, not of the democratic par

4atement was made by the Journal, and il
sS5olly untrue. The committee emphatical

Inference between an Arsenal and Nation al

rs old spinning wheel and the Rock Island
I oolen Factory.
{ The favorable report of the house military
mmittee gives assurance that the bill will
shcome law. And it ii does we may look

LEARNING A TRADE.-It was a wise law Of The
ancient Jews, that the sous OF even the wealth.
est man should be obliged to serve an appreu-
tlceship to some useful occupation. so that in
case Of reverse Of fortune, they might have
something to "fall back upon" The same still
exists in Turkey. where every man, even the
Sultan himself must learn trade. How
fortunate would it be now, had II been law in
this country. "Wouli to God had trade !" ia
the cry of thousands of returned soldiers, North
and South, who find themselves ruined in pocket
with no immediate prospect of gaining liveli
hood 1t should teach parents that whatever
else they may give their sons, they should give
them good trade.
30 far as the education Of their children in
the science of keeping proper accounts lie
concerned, the idea is good one as every
young man should have Sufficient kno wledge
to manage his own books, should he ever
embark in business but to make book. keepers
and clerks of all our boys is a grand mistake.
Better place them in a workshop, mill, or
foundry, where they eau learn independent
trades, which, at all times, will secure for them
employment at any time, and the pecuniary
compensation for which will be at least as much,
If not more, than the business of account We
earnestly advise all parents to teach their sous
trades, no matter what, that it is an iudustri-
Gus pursuit; and let us in future be spared the
pain of seeing so many stout, able. bodied young
men out Of employment, and seeking situations
where the pen only can be used.

TERRIBLE POWDER ExPLosIoE-SEvEsTY Two

large cartridge and rocket factory below Macri-
keni, on the Msrmora, exploded with terrific
force, destroying the workshops and killing sew.

The group Of buildings, comprising nine maga
zines, OF which four contained from 800 10 900
barrels Of powder each, the fifth about |, 500
barrels, and the remaining four about 900
barrels each-or total OF about 30 600 barrels
Of 90 lbs. each. Nearly 10 the centre Of these
separate buildings was another large compart.
ment which formed tie laboratory of the estab
lishment, in which cartridges and rockets were
manufactured. In this last the accident origi-
mated. About one hundred hands were employ-
ed, some in making new cartridges and the rest
in ripping up and extracting the powder and
bullets from old ones. The official account is
that one Of the sixty or more Jews employed in
this latter work. in using a hatohet 10 open a
case OF cartridges, struck fire with the tool aud
igniting, it blew up the whole stock Of powder,
amounting in all to- it is said nearly 90 600 lbs.
Tho Porte return of the casualties states tho
deau at seventy-tWo, and wounded at twenty
four. ofthe former sixty were jews, eleven
Armenians, and one Turk; of the latter, three
Jews, seventeen ArmeniaHs aud four Turks
Fragments of the killed were picked up more
than half mile from the scene of the disaster;
of the laboratory itself not one stick or stone
was left upon another, its very site being torn
up as II huge shell had fallen and exploded
upon the spot.

SEVEN YEARS.
BY REV. j L. RANKIN,

lis seven years since Helen diedl
Long years 10 US, who count them here
Al home, our princess, prize and pride,
And then twelve months Western bride,
And then VIC watched her disappear
Fading as fades the rose before
Her tender fathers farmhouse door.
Tls seven years. The swallows come
And build as then beneath our caves;
All day we hear the wild bees hum,
The distant partridge beats his drum,
And squirrels chatter mid the leaves;
The meadows ripen into bloom,
The breezes wait the hays perfume.
Long years for us, but short for herl
Her life above how calm, how sweet;
While earthly cares our bosoms stir,
In Gods own house worshiper,
And happy at the Saviour's feet;
Into his radiant image grown,
And knowing now as she is known.
Anothcl Helen, seven years old,
Assumes her mothers place and name;
Taken lamb into our fold,
From sorrow, lnreliness and col
And loved by all of us the same;
Her footsteps echo round the door,
uer mother enters neveTmore.
Seven years nearer her are We!
Nearer her earthly resting place;
Nearer, too, the crystal sea,
Nearer the nations healing tree,
Nearer our Heavenly Fathers face;
And who will say but seven years more
May lind us on that happy shoreY
