1t seems to me that in the desire to i'm
part to the working classes a general
course Of study, much harm may be done !;
for it must be kept in view that the pos
session OF ten fingers, coupled with large
store, it may be, of head knowledge, does
not necessarily give the power to any lad
to become an accomplished workman To
excel in handicraft is gift possessed in
different degrees by different persons, just
like excellence in classical or scientific ac-
c0mplishments and it is only, at best, by
an early pprenticeship to the work and
4 patient practice Oft, that most persons,
even though having what is called me-
chanical turn, are enabled to acquire per-
lection; and it would be exceedingly un-
desirable to employ either the heads or
the time of apprentices in studies which
have not the direct effect Of improving
their manipulation and management of
the materials with which they have to
deal. The recent advocates of improved
technical education, in their zeal for head
knowledge, have given to perfect manipu-
latiOn greatly too subordinate a place
and in the educational arrangements they
propose, they do not consider and provide
for the time and difficulty of acquiring
those high manipulative attachments
which every skilled workman should aim
to possess. Because, after all, what is it
but manipulative superiority that gives
success to any branch of manufacture,
and what but laborious practice, coupled
with some amount of natural aptitude
will ever make first-class Workman

Giant Trees OF Australia.

TREES have been lately found in Aus
tralia which in height, although not in bulk,
seem to exceed the celebrated forest giants
OF California (Sequ0id WeUingtonia), the
highest of which rises to about $50 feet.
Until lately, the highest known Australian
tree was Karri Eucalyptus { H. colossal,
measuring about 400 feet high, and growing
inone of the glens of the Warren river, in
Western Australia. The hollow trunk Of
this tree was sufficiently large to admit OF
three riders, with an additional pack horse,
entering and turning around in it without
dismounting. At the request of Dr. Null
Ter, the Government Director of the
Botanic Garden at Melbourne, Mr.. Boyle
measured fallen Eucalyptus (E.
amygdalina), in the deep recesses of Dan
denong (VictOria), and found that it had a
length Of 420 feet: with proportional
bulk; and Mr.. Klein has subsequently,
taken the measurement of Eucalyptus
growing ten miles from Healesville, that
was 4S0 feet high. Still loftier specimens
will probably yet be discovered, as easier
access is afforded, by miners tracks and
otherwise, to the back gullies Of the South
Australian mountain-system. These
isolated facts have practical value, fol-
the Eucalyptus is genus which has a
naturally wide distribution, which may be
extended by the aid of acclimatisatior
societies. One species, which in fifteer
years is equal in girth to az oak a centur,
old, has already been largely introduced
with perfect success, into certain depart
ments OF Italy and France; where j

that it would thrive in Devonshire, Corn

The National Gift Enterprise.

If the report that Judge Bradley, who
has been nominated by Grant to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, was
chiefly instrumental i'm obtaining the sub
scriptions for Grants villa at Long Branch
be not true, the friends of the President
will do well to contradict it in such way
az to prove its falsity.
What is the evidence against the Con-
gressmen accused of selling cadetships !?
II is that before making the appointments,
they received money from those appoint
ed. For this they are denounced as mer-
cenary and venal wretches, who have
brought disgrace upon the National Leg
islature, and Republican Congressman
and Republican newspapers arc foremost
in such denunciations.
Precisely the same evidence exists
against Grant. Three of his Cabinet ap-
pOintments were of men from whom he
received money before the appointments
were made Collector Grinnell, of New
York, paid Grant money before he was
appointed Collector Mayor Bowen, of
Washington, gave him $4,000 for certain
control in the appointing power. Now
comes this case of Bradley. Had the
President made open proclamation that
he would receive brides and sell Offices, he
would not have been guilty of more dis.
honorable conduct. Chicago Times

exchanged vituperation in the Senate, But
Ter and Cox have worried one another in
the House, long winded speeches have
been delivered on the Cuban question,
still longer ones on the everlasting negro,
the capital has literally been drenched
with sea of useless, meaningless talk,
and vet, at the middle of February, moth
ing, absolutely nothing has been done,
save the Juggling of two States into the
Union, and the kicking of another out.
Thoughtful and observing men who have
watched this shameless waste of time,
time which belongs to the people and not
to politicians, are well nigh discouraged at
the prospect they see no hope of a change
for tie better, and can only wait with
folded arms the development OF evils
which they are powerless to check. Once
the voice of the masses could penetrate
the halls of Congress, and stir unfalthful
servants to do their duty; but now II
would seem that the sceptre OF sover
eionty had been transferred from the
hands of the Greater to the grasp Of
the creature, that the people were
no longer masters, but serfs, who
must be content to take what is given
ard ask no questions. Protest and en-
treaty, coming alike from Radical and Dem
ocratic journals, are UNDECIDED, and mem
bers of Congress act as though they had {
perpetual lease OF power and license, t.
use or abuse it as they choose. The cltl

Congress-.

There is popular delusion prevailing
among the community generally that, when
the trainers Of the Constitution provided
for national legislature as one OF the
three coordinate branches of the Federal
government, il was the intention and the
expectation that this body would do some
thing for the good of the people whose
votes created and whose money paid it.
So thoroughly is this delusion imbedded
in the public mind that it is no uncommon
thing even now to hear persons, otherwise
intelligent, speak of our law makers at
Washington as a source from whence solid
benefits are to flow, a panacea to cure
whatever ills may affiict the political and
financial system, and as an assembly of
wise and honest patriots whose sole object
is TO labor arduOusly in behalf Of the best
interests of a confiding cOnstItuency-"t to
scatter plenty DER a smiling land, and
read their history in nations eyes" III
any additional evidence were necessary to
demonstrate the utter fallacy OF this idea,

Senators and Representatives are made,
and the actual value of their services to the
country, that evidence is furnished by the

a Torpid System,

Sometimes, without any sssignabls cause, the
physical strength and animal spirits give way, and
a strange torpor falls alike on the body and intellect
There is little pain perhaps, but the natural
v:gor and elasticity OF the nervous and muscular
system seem TO have departed, and an indifsr-
ence to the pleasures OF life, and of its grave
responsibilities, takes the place of that earnest in
terest in both which characterizes every we'll
balanced mind when in 8 healthy condition.
This state Of partial collapse is often the pre-
monitory symptoms of some serious malady. 1t
indicates Enthusiastically that the vital powers are
languishing and need stmulant. In such cases
the effect of few doses of Hostctter's Stomach
Bitters is wonderfully beneficial. The great tonic
wakes up the system from its browse. The sscrs-
tiOns and the circulation receive a new empetus.
The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity under
the operations of the specific, like the sackened

energy and vigor the spirits rise and life that al

such a radical change should be produced by
