A Portrait of Bon. Wade.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader Trad draws Ben Wade's
portrait in the following style:
"To be Ben. Wade, he must swear. Bill
Wade, Tom Wade or Seraphim Wade might
be decent of speech and recognizable, but l
submit that Ben Wade is deformity with
out his oath. Heaven would never know
him but by his imprecation.
Ben Wsdee maxim is "employ no means to
conciliate; all to crush 7" He is danger.
Gus savage, full of the unquenchable fire of
tyrsnnous revenge. Sad was the day for the
party of light, of intelligence, of charity and
of the future, when this cursing and hating
old man ingrafted himself upon our organi-
zation. He is to us neither an ornament, an
example, nor a moral power. Nature gave
him no dignity. art no grace, and God no
benevolence! With his hounds around his
feet, like some ignorant mountaineer, he de-
mands the slavery of our sympathy, the HON.
age of our enforced good will. He shall not
have either. Accepting the sad accident OF
his position, we will give him our support
for the sake of the issues involved with him,
but we will not lend him more than this. He
shall reign by our destiny, not our respectr'

CLERKSHIPs AND TRADES

There are thousands of men who regret.
in these dull times, that they never learned
trade. 1t is bad enough for mechanics to
be thrown out of employment, but for
the large class who are who are not skilled
laborers the situation is far worse. Every
boy, no matter how fair his prospects in life
should learn trade. If in mature years he
can get along without manual labor, all
right, but in case of need trade is an ex.
cellent thing to fall back upon. Boys
should not seek clerkships and the like, be-
cause such business has an appearance of
gentility. A trade is the thing, and upon
this point we find the following in the North
ender:
NO young man who desires to succeed in
business has any time to lose in shutting
about IN experimental clerkships and after
finishing his school education the sooner he
makes choice of business for life, and
sets himself diligently to work to learn
IL and become successfully established the
better: No young man can afford to make
mistake In his choice of business, the first
cholee should be the true one, and for this
reason we should say to young man in re-
garo 10 routine clerkships, by no means &C.
eept place OF that kind, not even if the sal
AIRY Is large 1t may seem large at first, but
tnere can be no compensation to a young
man tor loss of time. Indeed, we are sin
eerely OF the opinion that young man at
the start, had better work for nothing, or ev-
en- pay tor the privileges of going into an
establishment where he can learn a good
business, than to take one of these clerk.

BURGLARY.-On Thursday night last the
store of Messrs. Stacy Il Holsapple was en-
tered through back cellar window, and the
safe-one of Duryea j. Forsythe 's-blown
open and robbed of its contents. Two holes
were drilled in the door of the safe, powder
introduced and exploded, separating the
outside iron shell from the cement under
meath, and with it breaking the bolts that
fasten it when locked. In the safe were
Sc yeral watches and some jewelry belong
ing to j. ". Arnold. The most valuable
were taken, while the cheap articles were
left, showing that it was an experienced
workman that did the work. From q show
case On the counter was also taken a guam
tity of jewelry, and some silver ware from
another case adjoining. Some dry goods
belonging to the firm was taken, oil of the
finest material. In all, perhaps, 81 900
would cover the loss.
That the depredators were experienced
workmen in their nefarious business, every
thing went to show. The holes were drilled
in the door of the safe in the exact point
where there must of necessity be a cavity
for the bolts to work in. where the greatest
quantity of powder could be introduced and
where it would be best calculated to effect
the purpose desired. The drill used was
about quarter of an inch in diameter, a
part of it was found lying by the safe. On
the floor several clots of blood were found,
as if in the explosion, the person in some
way was wounded. As yet no clue to the
perpetrators is known that these sites are
worked up by some one well acquainted
with all our premises and our habits Of do.
ing business, and perhaps in our stores every
day, is evident to every one. For many
years, the history of all river towns shows
periodical depredations similar to the above
and We have yet to learn of a single discov-
cry or arrest of the vilains.-Le Claire Req.
