The Importance OF Learning . Trad,

The Importance OF Learning q Trade.
A writer in the Manufacturer and
Builder pertinently asks: Why Is 1t
that there is such repugnance on
the part of parents to putting their
sons to q trade 2" -
A skilled mechanic Is an independ-
ent man. Go where he will, his craft
ask favors Of none. He has, literal
ly, his fortune In his own hands. Yet
foolish parents, anxious that their
SONS should "rise i'm the world" as
they say, are more willing that
they should study for profession,
with the chances of even moderate
success'heavily against them, or run
the risk Of spending their manhood
In the ignoble task of retailing dry
goods, or of toiling laboriously at the
accountants desk, than learn trade
which would bring them manly
strength, health and Independence
In point of fact, the method they
choose Is the least likely to achieve
the advancement aimed at !; for the
supply of candidates for position az
errand boys" dry goods clerks, and
kindred occupations, is notoriously
0verstocked, while, ON the other
hand, the demand for really skilled
mechanics of every description Is no
toriously behind the supply. The
crying need of this country to-day IL
for skilled labor; and that father who
neglects toprovide his son with q USE
full trade, and TO see he thoroughly
masters, it, does him u grievous
wrong, and runs the risk of helping,
by so much, to increase the stock OF
idle and dependent, II not vicious
members of society.
1t is stated IN the report of the
Prison Association, lately issued, that
of fourteen thousand five hundred
and ninety-six prisoners confined In
the penitentiaries Of thirty States, in
1867, seventy-seven per cent, or over
ten thousand of the number, had
never learned trade. The fact con-
veys a lesson Of profound interests To
those who have In charge the train
ing of boys, and girls too, for the ac-
tive duties Of life. .....

Mr.. Dickens had buried several children,

of his death.
"Of his many friends, perhaps the most in.

of Goldsmith and Lander. to whom Mr..
Dickens dedicated the last edition of his
works; and 1t seems likely that upon Mr..
Forster will devolve the duty of writing the

August Saballas, who resides at III Ram
part street, decided not to pay his income
tax, and when Deputy Collector Billings
proceeded to take charge of some of his
stock in trade by virtue of warrant of
distraint, issued by the collector, he mus.
tered his forces and resisted the officer, re-
capturing the merchandise, for which he
was forthwith summoned to appear before
United States Commissioner Urban, who
has taken bonds for his appearance to answer
the charge of resisting an officer of the
United States revenue in the performance
Of his duty. The penalty is fine and i'm
prisonment. -r
Pierre Louguet assisted Saballas in re.
taking Possession of the property, and has
shared q similar fate.

ternal revenue taxes does not seem to work
with the officers Of our district, and it is
much the best way not to do it.

The COlored Ca diets.

The following is from the West Point
correspondence of the New York World:
1t was told to me before came here that
there had been q great discussion in the
newspapers about certain colored cadets APP
pointed to the United States Military
Academy; that the black boys, having ar
rived here, were being subjected to terrible
torments on account of their color, at the
hands Of the white cadets; and vaguely
that this thing was q shame, . disgrace,
and an ab0mination in the sight Of the
not, though the abomination is not swiftly
apparent to the casual visitor. It was only
after some inquiry this morning that was
able to learn anything about the negro ca.
dets-who, by the way, have not yet become
cadete. One Of them, q yellow boy with
. visage resembling in the variety of its
hues cake Of CASTLE soap, is ]. W.. Smith.
The other, . darkey of unmixed blood,
is Michael Howard. Smith is eighteen OF
seventeen. Howard is smaller than Smith,
and of pleasing appearance. They are both
studying and reCiting their lessons prepara-
tory to the preliminary examination toward
the last of this month, which, some say
Howard is not educated enough to stand.
1t is highly, probable, however, that both
will pass the examination. and be admitted
as new cadete. lney are Oelng Wen coacne0,
and there is disposition among the faculty
to treat them with the utmost leniency.
Instructions have been given to the cadets
that these colored boys are not in any to be
naltreated or imposed on-instructions
which are obeyed. The cadete, who never
have anything to do with "pleben except
to ''devii' him, let Smith and Howard
severely alone. Even the ''plebes' of their
own class ignore them. They room to.
