do not understand the Constitution of
their country or the principles under
lying it. These might have made
good blaeksmiths, or maehinists, or
carpenters, or ship builders Though
we much doubt it,, but they might
have been usefully employed in SHOW
cling gravel.
But after having chosen a mechani-
cal profession, it is not seldom the case
that the apprentice looks upon his
term of apprenticeship as so many
years of lost or wasted time. He does
not care to learn. He seems to sup
pose that the practical knowledge of
his business is, somehow, to grow into
his apprehension without effort on his
part. To worry through the years of
apprenticeship, with the least labor or
effort to themselves and the least bene-
fit to their employers, is really the
principal study of some apprentices.
TheV are not the only ones who look
upon the years of apprenticeship in
the same light. a letter received from
a young man says he wants to become
a machinist, bur his father objects to
his giying ~ three years to a trade.
Possibly the time will come when
mechanical labor and mechanical skill
will be valued at their true worth, as
compared with other employment and
other aptness; but so long as our young
men prefer to preserve soft and clean
hand as something more valuable than
personal independence and q means
of usefulness, we look for no abate-
ment in the number of applications
for ''genteel" places.

Summers Alabama Speech Reviewed
by GOldWin Smith.

/ ITHACA, n. v, May Professor
GOldwin Smith, % whom Senator
Sumner alluded in his recent speech
on the Reverdy johnson treaty, de-
livered Il reply to that speech this
evening before the members of Cor
nell University and crowded assem-
bly, of citizens, among whom were
several distinguished men from diff
ferent parts of the country. Mr..
Smith premises that he spoke both as
an Englishman still loyal to his
country, and also as one hoping to
make his home for many years in
America. He first briefly reviewed
the relations between the United
States and England during the late
war, and then analyZed Senator Sum
ner's speech argument by argument.
He denied that England in any way
had acted in bad faith, and asserted
that the PalmerstOn government, like
the Gladstone government, was only
anxious TO do justice to this country.
England was willing to let Canada
go when it pleased. Everybody in
Great Britain would consider the loss
of the West India Islands a gain, and
he, if it could be proved that that
Island would be happier disunited
from England, would vote for her in
dependence. But no Englishman
would ever consent to relinquish any
of these countries as an equivalent
for such claims as those set up by Mr..
Sumner. Senator Sumner had not
treated England justly. He omitted
to state that England rejected the
offer of France to join in political
recognition of the Confederacy. This
was secretly done to effect the escape
of the Alabama. Senator Summer
throughout was influenced by his
hatred of slavery, and lugged his
rancor against that dread institution /
into every political sphere. His taunt |
against England have struck a strong I
blow at the very men, like John |
Bright and Others, who have always I
slavery and been the warm /
est friends of the Union. They 2
would feel its effect, while the Tory 4
party, the enemies of America, would I
be encouraged by the speech. He
closed with a warm appeal for justice I
and peace, amid earnest applause.

The History Of the shamrock.

LHc nIeNOIl VI lHt oldulIoCAs
When King Lerry, surrounded by
his lords, vassals and Druids, was cele-
brating his birth day at Tara, the an
cient capital of Ireland. 1t happened
TO be on the eve of Easter. The time
had come when all the fires We're to be
eXtinguished, that after a while they
might be re-lighted from the sacred
torch conseerated to the heather gods.
In the interval of halloWed darkness,
suddenly there appeared a brilliant
light at the top of the Slope of Chari-
Ots. The sparks and flames rose from
the mysterious camp, in proclamation
of the ancient faith of Tara. Who
had dared to profane the sacred dark
mes, by the unholy fires? What bold
blasphemerventured to light the torch
until the flames had been brought
from the altar of the gods? The war
riOrs grasped their arms and rushed
up the hill to tear the infidel to pieces.
They seized him and dragged him
down to the hall of judgment; but all
the while he kept reeiting prayers to
the unknown God; and when brought
before the assembly of enraged idol
ators, st. Patrick, who for seven years
had been Mileho's herdsman slave,
stood forth, like the heroic Paul, and
answered for himself. In his lone
some captivity he had learned to love
the Irish people, and with the burden
of salvation he had adtrayersed the great
plains from the mouth of the BOyne
to the Slope of the Chariots. He stood
and preached to them all night-from
the birth of the stars till the grand
ascension of the sun. He spoke as
never man had spoken in Tara. He
told them the story of the Nazarene,
of the Blessed Trinity; Father, Son and
Holy Ghost; of Baptism, of the Eucha-
arist-Of all the sublime faith of the
Church of Rome. Towards daylight
the people began to believe, and fell
into debate, one with another. The
arch-Druid, the King, and two beau
tiful maidens were converted and bap-
tised. The tumult increased; the true
fires of heaven were blazing in the
dark valley of Paganism, and st. Pat
rick preached on, until the day dawn
began TO reveal the Black-water, the
Boyne and the hills of Cavan, and the
heights of Slane. But the people
could not understand the strange doc
trine Of the Trinity-how three per-
sons should constitute one GOd-and, =,
with daylight, their hearts began to
return to their idols. Suddenly the
Apostle caught up a sprig of Sham
rock, which had been holding up its
triple palms in alteration of the one
true God, and, holding it forth, he
showed the people that three leaves
growing from a single stock constitut-
ed but one. Instantly the quiek-wit
ted people understood the mystery;
they rushed upon the Apostle, and
would have carried him on their shoul-
ders, and from that hour Druidieal
was overthrOwn upon the
Plains of PrOstratiOn.-B0HRej' OF the

On last Tuesday, Mrs. Albert French,
of Lagrange, left the room of her sick
husband 10 go on an errand 10 the house
Of a neighbor. While there, some one
asked if she had heard OF a rumOr that
she was divorced. She replied ''nO,''
and in a laughing way was making some
remark about the absurd stories people
tell, when person entering handed her
note from an attorney, informing her
that the rumor was true. Her husband
had made an application in the Circuit
Court of Elkhart county, where the par
ties had never lived at all the Sheriff
had served the process so informally that
she had never received it The applica-
ton had been granted on the 18th of
March. Her husband had brought the
decree home with him, and lived with
her more than week before she found
it out, during which time she had been
attentively nursing him through fit Of
sickness.
Mrs. French was almost killed by the
totally unexpected Intelligence. She
had been married to her husband twenty
one years; they had two children nearly
grown, and so far as is known, the fam
lily had always lived in peace and unity.
The husband is worth 5000, but the
wife did not receive one cent of alimOny,
although a portion of the money was in
herited by her. It is one of the most in
famous cases We have. ever heard of, and
as the decree was granted in a county
where the parties never resided, a consid-
reable amount OF perjury must have been
committed. The matter should have a
legal investigation, for it certainly caps
the climax of anything we have ever
known in the way of diyorces.-Iad. Sen
tiRel
A case similar to the above occurred
in this county few years ago. A keep
er of public house in Trumansburg,
went to Indiana, and made application
for divorce, came and lived with his
wife until the divorce came, and then
married a girl and brought her into the
house with his wife before she knew any
thing of the matter. The people of the
place were so indignant at his conduct
that he was obliged TO leave for parts IN

Miss Anna Dickinson.

The jackson Mich Cftzen tells the
following story of an exploit OF Anna
Dickinson at Marshall:
When drawing near to the end of
her lecture an incident occurred
which revealed more of her true char
acter and disposition than a dozen
lectures. A gentleman in the back
part of the house rose to- 90 out. Miss
Dickinson ordered him 10 stop. OF
course all eyes were directed toward
her victim, who, in the most gentle
manly manner, replied that a lady
was sick and must go out, mot a
strange circumstance in close and
crowded room). She then, after this
most reasonable explanation, in a
bitter, whitening manner, said: 81
am about closing, and do not wish to
have nv concluding remarks inter-
rupted BY you," with a peculiar
emphasis on the 'yOu.' Not only
were her concluding remarks lost up
on the audience, but the impression
made by all that she had previously
said was greatly impaired.

THE SOCIETY OF WOlIEN.-One of
the great benefits a young man may
derive from women's society is that he
is bound to be respectful TO them. The
habit is of great good to your moral
man, depend upon it. Our education
makes of us the most eminently selfish
men in the world. We fight for our
selves we push for ourselves; we cut
the best slices out of the Joint at the
club dinners for ourselves; we yawn
for ourselves and light our pipes; and
we say We won't go out; we prefer
ourselves and our ease; and the great
est good that comes to a man from
wOman's society is that he has to think
of somebody besides himself-some-
body to whom he is bound to be con-
stantiy attentive and respectful Ger
tainly / don't want my dear Bob to
associate with those of the other sex
whom he doesn't and can't respect I;
that is worse than billiards; worse
than tavern whiskey and water; worse
than smoking selfishness at home
But vow I would rather see you
turning over the leaves of Miss Mid
dleeombe's music book all night than
at billiards, or smoking, or brandy and
water, or all three.-ThGekerGg.

While we were making arange-

carried us from Macon to McntgOme-
~, Alabama, and Just as we had be-
gun to wish for better bed, the cars
stopped at a small station, and a
blushing couple, "hold- Of hands,"
came into the car. Their appearance
as they stood hesitatingly in the door

their wedding tour.

Value of the Local Press.

We clip the following Just tribute to
the country press from the Chicago
Republican, and earnestly commend
it to the attention of the readers of the
CHRONICLE: What tells US so readi-
ly the standard of a town or city as
the appearance of its paper? And its
youth or age can be as well defined by
the observing as by personal notice.
The ENTERPRISE of its citizens is depic-
ted by its advertisements, their iiber-
ality by the looks of the paper. Some
papers show a good, solid, healthy
foundation, plethOric purses, and a
well-to-dO appearance generally; 9TH
ers show a striving to contend with
the grasping thousands around them,
trying hard to wrench out an existence
from the close-fisted community
around them. An occasional meteor
ic display in its columns of locals or
of editorials, show what it can do if it
had the means, but cannot continue
in the expensive work until support
comes, which ought to be readily
granted. a newspaper is like a church,
it wants fostering at the commence
ment, for a few years /; then, as a gem
eral thing, it can walk alone, and re-
fleet credit upon its location. Take
your home paper; it gives you more
news of immediate interest than the
New York or other papers it talks
for you when other localities belle
you; it stands up for your rights; YOU
always have a champion in your home
paper; and those who stand up for
YOU should certainly be well sustained.
Your interests are kindred and equal,
and you must rise or fall together.
Therefore. it is to your interest to sup
port your home paper, not grudgingly,
but in a liberal spirit, not as disa
greeable duty, but as an investment
that will amply repay the expendi-
ture.

The White Pine Regions Silver by
the Tun.
From the Treasure City CNSevada) News,
April IL.


April II.
A visit to the assay offices and mills
of Shermantown will be good for the
doubters of the great wealth of White
Pine. There bullion in glittering
bars, crude, retOrt, and slippery ANAL
gam, can be seen by the tun. Yester-
day we saw at Mr.. Lother's assay
office nineteen massive bars of silver,
of the average value of 81 ,S2S each,
making an aggregate of SS5, ,732, the
result of two days smelling and assay.
Besides these finished bars there
were some 500 pounds of crude bull
ion direct from the retorts of the
mills, and valued at 4,50O. At the
Oasis and Moore & Barker's mills we
saw buckets, bags, boxes, tubs and
retOrts filled with the precious metals
fresh from the amalgamating pan.
Two thousand pounds or more of
the amalgam were at the mills await
ing to be retOrted. In company Of
Mr.. John Collier, who now superin-
tends both mills, we made an eXami
nation of the works. The Oasis has
ten stamps, and crushes nine tuns
daily of the ore from the Eberhardt
mines.
The average product of the ore is
now about 800, and this, so exceed
ingly rich, requires slow working.
There are eight amalgamating pans
which are charged four times in
twenty-fOur hours, each with about
six hundred pounds of pulp and four
hundred pounds of quicksilver. The
ore is crushed dry, but it is not rcast-
ed, it being chloride and easily ANAL.
gamated. We were shown n large
bin of pulp which is worth 5000 per
tun. This is too rich to be amalga-
mated conveniently and successfully
by itself, and is therefore mixed with
pulp of a lower grade. A great
amount of ore is stored about the
mill, enough to keep it running for
half year without calling for any
from the mine At the Moore q
Barker mill, the same condition pre-
walls. The latter is of eight stamps,
and reduces six tuns of ore daily.
The ore is also from the Eberhardt
mine, which, from the easy manner
it is mined, has accumulated far in
advance of the capacity of the mills
TO reduce. The thousands of dollars
weekly shipped from ShermantOwn,
are generally the product of the Eber- !
hardt mine, is a convincing proof of
how that mine, as well as others, are
giving so often spoken of in the /

HOW Often Shall We Eat Meat /!

! a few years agO, the advocates for q
vegetarian diet were quite numerous
J in our land. But of late, We hear
little from them. The necessity for
animal diet, in order to develop mans
highest physical nature, seems now
almost universally conceded. But
/ another question may very properly
I come up: Do we not eat too much
meat? We should answer this very
decidedly in the affirmative. Many
! persons eat meat three times q day,
while nearly all eat animal food at
least twice every day. But in our
opinion it would be far better to have
hearty meal of meat only once a
day-viz, at dinner time. For break
fast, variety of dishes may be served
up; such as milk toast and boiled
eggs, with coffee; or baked potatoes,
with butter, salt and pepper, accom-
panied also with coffee; hash lone
third meat and two-thirds pOtatOes),
with boiled eggs; fresh fish and pOta-
toes; mackerel and potatoes, etc. OF
course, in the fruit season, fruits
should form an every day dish for the
breakfast table. The Spaniards have
a proverb: Fruit is gold in the
morning, silver at noon and lead at
night One good effect that would
esult from adopting this more ratioG-
al method of living, would be that
a good appetite for food would be con-
stantly Kept up. Every meal eaten
would be relished. And we doubt
very much whether any good arises
from eating, excepting when there is
a keen relish for the food partaken of.
Just at the present time, in matter
of economy, it would be Well to re-
strict our meat diet to one meal a day.
To have our breakfast mainly of
bread, fruits, ETC., would be much
cheaper than to have meats, costing
from fifteen to twenty cents a pound.
For ourselves, we could be quite
eontented with milk toast and eggs
and coffee for our breakfast at least
half the time. But when dinner
comes, with roast beef, boiled mutton
or boiled ham, broiled beefsteak, or
broiled mutton chops, or fried ham
with mashed potatoes, we confess we
can do full Justice to this, the main
and principal meal of the day. For
supper, anything Light and simple
should be supplied ff
81 While we are quite certain that for
all persons not engaged in hard labor
iOus work the plan Of diet, which we
have thus hastily ysketehed, is the best.
we at the same time. admit that those
undergoing severe toll may require at
least two hearty meals a day.
