A CARD-In 1861 Morton discontinued the
discount formerly given 10 the Jobblng Trade
and, ignoring the services Of middle men, has
sold his pens either directly TO those who use
them, or to such as keep them on hand for the
better supply of the writing public in their
own localities. There may be Jobbers who
have spoken in favor Of the Morton Pen since
that time, but, if so, their remarks have never
in a single instance reached his ear; and
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens in the world, and used
to do so, they nevertheless put forth great
exertions 10 show that the Morton Pen has de-
preciated in value, is not what 1t formerly was
and that those which they vend are equal IT not
superior now since many Retail Dealers obtain
what little they know of pens, rs well as the pens
themselves, entirely from the Jobbers people are
apt to be msled by their representations.
In order that the public may Judge correctly,
and at the same time see how, much pains
taking is exercised to give every one who orders,
just such a pen as viii exactly suit his hand
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands
throughout the entire country, who have re
ceived his pens through the mails during that
time, and also calls particular attention to the
following letter which has accompanied every
pen sent.

Timber and RaInfaII.

According to Rentzack, a German
authority, the proportion of forest or
woodland required for an agricultural
country, in order to secure it a regular
and sufficient rainfall without violent
rain storms, is % per cent. in interior
regions, and 20 per cent. near the coast.
This estimate relates to Germany. The
same writer estimates that 5 per cent.
of timber is sufficient for England. An
English authority, Sir Henry James, re-
CARDS this last estimate as too high for
England, deeming 2.5 per cent. of tim
Der sufficient. 1t is probable that the
per centage of timber required in Ger
many is not less than would be neces-
sary in the level regions of our own sec
ton, as mountains exert an important
influence upon the amount of rainfall.
The following interesting account of
the influence of timber upon rainfall
and springs is taken from Boussing-
aulPs Rural Economy:
''The Wolf-spring in the Commune
of Soubey, France, furnishes a remark
able instance of the influence of woods
upon fountains. A few years ago this
spring did not exist. At the place
where it now rises, a small thread of
water was observed, after very long
rains, but the stream disappeared with
the rain. The spot is in the middle of
a very steep pasture, inclining to the
south. Eighty years ago the owner of
the land perceiying that some frs were
shooting up in the upper part of it, de-
termined to let them grow, and they
soon formed a fourishing grove. As
soon as they were well grown, a fine
spring appeared in place of the occs-
sional rill, and furnished abundant wa
ter in the longest drought. For forty
or fifty years this spring was considered
the best in Closdu- Doubs. A few years
since the grove was felled, and the
ground turned again to pasture. The
spring disappeared with the wood, and
IS now as dry as it was ninety years

General Butler and the TrI-
al Of the COnspiratOrs.

| The Washington correspondent of the
/ Boston Post says General Butler occupies
considerable time in gathering material
with which TO meet his antagonist, Mr..
Bingham, of Ohio. The World says:
For weeks past, Butler has importuned,
by correspondence, q visit from John 7.
Ford, of BaltimOre-famous as the owner
and manager of the theater in which the
tragedy of assassination transpired. Now
it is obvious that Butler has nothing to ask
of Mr.. Ford that does not directly affect
the conspiracy and tend to bring out hid
den facts thereof. The induoement ua-
doubtedly hes in the knowledge that Mr..
Ford was kept close prisoner in Carol
Prison for some six weeks after the assas-
sinatiOa, together with other parties who
were understood to be more or less init
mately known to the principal conspira-
tors. During this time Mr.. Ford kept

dreadful plot, which only the active par

Learning aTrade,

at was a wise saying of the ancient
Jews that the sons of even the wealth
lest men should be made to serve an
apprenticeship to some useful occupa-
tion, so that in case of a reverse of for
tune they have something to ''fall back
upon" The same exists in Turkey,
where every man, even the Sultan him.
self, must learn a trade. How fortu-
nate it would berow had it been law
in this country. Would to God had
a trade" is the cry of returned soldiers
North and South, who find themselves
ruined in pocket, with no prospect of
gaining q livelihood. 1t should teach
parents that whatever else they give
their sons, they should give them a
trade" ."-Nel0 Yorker.
These words of wisdom should be
written in letters of gold and made IA
mihar to every head of family One
of the social evils of our day, perhaps
the greatest, is that so few of our sons
are apprenticed to trades. With trade
all young men can commence the "bat-
tie of life" with prospect, if industri-
GUS and frugal, of acquiring either q
fortune or a competency A trade is
capital, with which a young man com
mences business. After a few years of
industry, a mechanic, if he has ability
for other occupations can easily adapt
himself to the change. DR.. Franklin
was a printer. The late Daniel Cady
was a shoemaker. Professor Henry
was SDVersmith.
Parents in moderate circumstances,
or even in prosperous business, who re-
fuse or neglect to give their sons trades
doom most of them to life of depend
ence. A reliance upon a clerkship, at
the best, is precarious. Still more pre-
carious is the life which SO many live,
of dependence upon Office. This,
whether seekers of high or low Offices,
is the last fate to which Thoughtful pa
rent should subject son. But, gener-
ally, the worst thing that can happen
to this class is success. Once "bitten"
with taste of Office, all legitimate occu-
pations become irksome. The man,
old or young, who gets into office, and
as an inevitable consequence, gets out,
is untitled for other employment for
life. 1t is rare. indeed, that a man
who has been few years in office ever
settles, or even endeaVors to
settle down to labor. 1t is
painful, beyond expression, to see the
miserable battalions of idle men who
beleaguer all the public Offices for en-
ployment. And this in country where
of all others, where labor is not only
in request, but is largely remuneratiye
and where land, teeming with wealth,
offers homesteads.--Nel0 York Com

An April FOOI--A Blue Ribbon
and a Roll OF Music.

A very amusing little episode in real
life has just been developed, after re-
manning dormant for eight days. Quite
q number of our citizens, on the 1st of
April, received a very tastily put up
note, written in pretty hand, and on
scented paper. As all the notes are
alike, there is no harm in giving a copy
of them, and here it is:
MILWAUKEE, March 31st, '67.
Mr.. N: L have repeatedly met
you in society, but, as yet, have had no
introduction, an honor l have earnest
ly longed. concluded, if you were
willing to make an acquintanee formed
in this way, that would ask you to be
near or at Tunis' book store. on Wiscon-
sin street, tomorrow afternoon, about
halfpast four o'clock. l will wear a
blue ribbon about my neck, tied behind,
and have a roll of music in my hand
This is not strictly in accordance with
the laws Of etiquette, but 1 concluded
to do away with any such formalities
and trust to your honor to hold this
communication strictly confidential
Hoping to see you at the appointed
time remain, Yours expectantly
JENNIE T.
He was more than ordinary who
could receive such a note and not be
governed accordingly" The parties
who received the notes spoken of were
not mo notice kind" Poor infatuated
souls, they forgot the day-they forgot
everything but Tunis-h halEpast 4
o'clock-blue rib5on-roll of music and
connected all this with "devilish foine
form" a sweet face, and a charming
smile and perfect admiration for some
body's taste in selecting them to be the
recipient of such favors.
1t is said by those in secret, that as
the hour Of 4:30 drew near there was
something of excitement on Wisconsin
street. A well known lumberman
might have been seen promenading up
and down, a well known lawyer might
have been seen peering into Tunis'
window, dry goods gentleman might
have been seen casting furtiYe glanees
over the way An exquisite insurance
man, a dandy bank cashier, and num-
Der of well known ''lady killers" of
various vocations also might have been
seen in the vicinity, all snxiously look
ing for blue ribbon and a roll of mu-
sic. There were many incidents con-
nected with the affair which we have
no time or inclination to notice. Some
body after waiting something like an
hour and seeing so many Of his friends
IN the vicinity, ''smelled something
and the deluded gentlemen found
they had been considerably sold out.
They went home, we trust, wiser men,
and We hope will not be caught in 80
foolish trap again, and that they will
keep the little scented notes that tell
of blue ribbon and roll of music,
from their wives sight.

WebSter's Most Important
Thought.

When Daniel Webster was Secretary
of State he wrote TO one of the proprie-
tors of the Astor House in New York,
saying that he would reach that house
on such day, and begged that some
of his friends should be invited to dine
with him the same evening.
There were about twenty or so at the
table, and Mr.. Webster seemed wearied
by his travel, and speaking but little,
if at all, plunged into a darksome sort
of reverie, not well calculated to emily
en- his friends. This at length became
so apparent, and the situation of all so
unpleasant, that one of the company
urged upon a very distinguished man
present-a warm friend of Webster-to
get him into conversation. He needed
to be logged to become as lively as they
wished.
This friend consented and spoke
aloud to Mr.. Webster, asking him some
questions that in ordinary circumstan-
ces, and with ordinary men, would
have led to conversation, but it failed
in the present case. The dark Secreta-
ry of State merely answered simply,
and crept into his cave again.
Again the gentleman, frightened by
his failure, was urged to renew the at
tempt to draw him out. He summoned
courage and said: Mr.. Webster (Mr.
Webster looked up out of his cave, 1
want you to tell me what was the most
important thought that ever occupied
your mind?" Here was thumper for
him, and SO everybody thought at the
table. Mr.. Webster slowly passed his
hand over his forehead, and in a low
tone said to a friend near him: "Is
there any Cne here who does not know
met"
"No, sir, they all know you-all are
your friends"
Then he looked over the table, and
you may imagine how the tones of his
voice would be on such an occasion,
giving answer to such question.
''The most important thought that
ever occupied my mind" said ne, twas
that of my individual responsibility to
5odW Upon which, for twenty min
1tes, he spoke to them there; and when
he had finished he got up from the Ia
Die and retired to his room, and they, |
without a word, went into an adjacent
psrlor, and when they had gathered |
here, some one exclaimed, "Who |
sVer heard of any thing like that ?"
What Mr.. Webster said in advocacy |
If his sublime thought, do not know. |
No one has ever repeated it, and pre-
ume no one can.
