TEACH BOYS A A D

OF 3,i96 prisoners in the peaitcnti-
aries Of thirty States in 1867, according
to the report Of the Prison Association
just issued, II per cent, more than
three.quar,ers, had not learned ~ trade.
Here is u text from which Dr.. Franklin
could have preached II forcible sermon
to parents. \ man who has i good
trade has an independence. He has
need only to be honest and diligent to
secure II competence. Bread and butter
are sure for him wherever he is. tie is
sure always of higher wages than he
who has no trade and if his genius
and enterprise lead him into some other
calling, i, is always Il satisfaction TO
know that in case OF misfortune he can
return 10 his trade. lie has that At any
rate failure in business cauuot deprive
him OF il his speculation. may break
down, but he has an anchor to leeward,
rs the sailors say: his subsistence and
that of his family are sure. In this
country, where fortunes, quickly gained,
are also quickly lost, il is still more
necessary aud prudent that every young
man should learn n useful trade, and
learn it thoroughly. No mans future
is so secure here hut that he would do
wisely to have his boys-and his girls,
too, tor that matter--lenrn Il trade. As
there are II good many l'dS, from four
teen to eighteen years Of age, running
around Cold Hill and Virginia, who do
not seem to be following any particular
business, it is u matter of wonder to rs
sometimes To even guess what they in-
tend doing for an honest living when
they gov up to be men. VIZ know
Of hardly any OF them who are learning
trades, md preparing themselves to
enter upon the duties OF men when their
time comes. 10 take the places of those
| who are now bearing the burdens and
cares OF Cuisines. IL ;heir parents have Il
thought for their real welfare in life,
they will set them to learning some
trade-no matter what i is, it they are
strong enough to lcarn-for all the
trades pay well in this country, By all
means, let the boys learn trades.

The wander. or California,

Mr.. Samuel E. Bowles, editor of the
Springfield Massachusetts, Rtpabheaa,
is engaged in writing n series Of Rail-
road articles for the Addnhe Monthly.
They are full Of Information, and
highly interesting. From his last,
written for the July number Of the
atlantic, we make the following ex-
tract, in which the writer thus sums
up the wonders and novelties of nature
in the Golden State:
With such suddenly developed yet
securely held wealth MS these few facts
illustrate, the future of California
looms before the visitor with proper
tons that astound and awe. Here
nature is as boundless in its fecundi;y
aud variety, as it is strange and
startling in its forms. While Switzer-
land has only four mountains thai
reach as high as $4,000 feet, California
has q hundred or two, and one, Mount
Whitney, that scars to $4,000 feet, and
is the highest peak of the Republic.
She ha, a waterfall fifteen times as high
as Niagara. All climates are her W (;
and variety which her long stretch
north and south does not present,
her mountains and valleys intro
duce. Dead volcanoes aud sunken
rivers abound in her mountains (;
the largest animal Of the continent
makes his covert in her ~chaparral; the
second largest bird Of the world floats
over her plains for carrion; the oldest
man has been dug out OF her depths;
the biggest nugget OF gold (weighing
1876 pounds and worth S3T,+OO) has been
found among her gold deposits; she has
lakes so thin hat a sheet OF paper will
sink in her waters, so voracious that
they will eat up q man, boots, breeches
and all, in 30 days, so endowed in their
fountains that they will supply the
worlds apothecaries with borax, sui
phur and soda; she has mud volcanoes
and the Yosemite Valley; she grows
beets of 100 pounds, cabbages of IS,
onions Of 1, turnips OF &c and water
melons Of 80 pounds, and has u grape
vine Is inches thick, and bearing $500
pounds in one season. Her men are the
most enterprising and audacious; her
women the most selEreliaut and the
most richly dressed; and her children
the stoutest, sturdiest aud the saueiest
Of any in all the known world! Let us
worship and move on!'

ported that tue directors Of the English
Atlantic Cable have secured n con-
trolling interest in the French Cable.
The Herald credits the report, and calls
upon American capitalists to lay a

1t is reported at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel that the Directors of several
banks will be indicted for conspiracy
with brokers to violate the Treasury

Plain Talk with brigham Young.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE commercial
excursion party from Chicago had an
interview with Brigham Young, at
his W invitation, at Salt Lake
City yesterday. During tue CONVEX
sation he told Senator Trumbull that he
would probably hear Of some Federal
official. being put out OF the Territory.
If II was done he might be sure it was
for good and sufficient reasons. Judge
Trumbul! advised him, before taking
such n step, to make known his grier-
auces to President Grant, who will not
permit n violation Of the law 10 20 un-
punished; i, would be unsafe to modest
public officers in the discharge OF their
duties. Brigham Young said that Grant
had removed only Mormon officers in
Utah, and for no reason except that
they we're Mormons. Brigham further
declares that they would not obey the
law Of Congress prohibiting polygamy,
because Congress had no right to inter.
fere in their matters. Judge'Trumbul
replied, declining to discuss tue subject,
but said that the law at NIL events must
be upheld aud obeyed. Young's de-
clarations caused considerable sensation
among the members of the party. The
Mormons treated the excursionis,s with
the cold, constrained politeness that
repels rather than invites advances.

mile in the rear when We first discovered
the reds. Some of the troops had been
sent around so rs to attack from the

sort of II valley, and we were within
eighty rods of them, for half an hour
before daybreak. Just in the gray Of
morning the firing commenced on both

being much confused and not knowing
what was up. At length they rallied,

run through the alleys, n big red jumped
out at me from behind Il tent, aud be-
fore I could shorten up enough to run

me down. The camp was then full OF
