THE CLEANEsT MAN IN CINCINNATI
One of our most promising young lawyers,
who is now making the tour of the Western
States, writes from Cincinnati to friend in
the following humorous strain:
1 arrived here this morning from Pittsbure
When got here felt that had committed
the objectionable sin in the way of dirt and
should never be clean again. 1 wouldn't live
In Plttsburg or Cincinnati for the Gift of the
entire real estate and personally of both cities.
Inc most aggravatiDg circumstance is that
there is no water in either city to wash one's
self with. All that you can get for bathing or
drinking purposes is kind of thin mud l
nave Just been through kind of protracted
Dath, IN which by use OF hot and cold water p
ana most liberal employment of towels /
nave attained comparatively high degree of
cleanliness, and as put on clothes-washed

foundation stone, am now probably the clean

lon OF good education, but also to i'm
part knowledge of the classics, aud of
the higher branches of science to our
children, by the time they are fifteen or
sixteen years OF age, we are clearly ex-
pecting that which is impossible.
We have been often asked why classes
cannot he instructed in agriculture in our
common schools. We answer, briefly,
because the scholars are not fitted to receive
such instruction, and because the teachers
are not fitted to impart it.; and if they
were, neither have time for it, without
neglecting other branches of instruction
which must necessarily precede this to
Lit them Tor proper understanding of its
principles
In the common school, instruction must
be confined chiefly to such knowledge as
Is wanted in common by all the pupils.
Let good foundation be laid, and then
knowledge of special branches must be ac-
CURED in schools especially designed to
teach them, or from practice and books
which treat of such subjects. Attempts to
lmpart instruction beyond the capacity of
the mind, is but little better than labor
lost. Want of capacity may he owing to
want OF age. or want of previous instruc-
ton.
A felt want among free people sooner
or later works out a supply. The want
OF instructions in special branches ofstudy
which it was felt that our common schools
could not supply, has led to the establish
ment of schools of design, of music, OF
chemistry, of mines, of engineering and
other special branches, including agricul-
ture; and it is about as wise to expect
our common schools to furnish instruc-
ton in such special studies as in law and
medicine.
Let us be contented to use our common
schools for what they are intended, and
for what they are capable of doing, and
not spoil them by attempting to force them
to do work which they can never do

The ball given Mt Governors Island,
in honor OF the Duke Alexis, was opened
by General Mcdowell and the Grand
Duke, Miss Nellie Murphy being the
first partner selected for the Prince.
The band struck up lively galop, and
the General with his partner started of
in good time. The Prince essayed to
start, but had scarcely turned around be-
forc his feet slipped and threw him out
of time, so very smooth and oily was the
floor. He quickly recovered himself,
and then with some caution he proceed
ed in good style. On returning his part
ner to her friends she complimentcd the
Prince on being n good gentleman to
dance with. The Grand Duke, as he
appeared on the ballroom floor after di-
yesting himself OF hat and long cloak,
revealing his princely head and dark,
gold-studded uniform, was entirely be-
coming to his high rank. Had any
stranger stepped into the place aud been
asked to point out the most distinguish
ed looking man on the floor he would
certainly have selected the Grand Duke.
His was the tallest figure there, and his
perfect self.posscssiou gave him n grace
iul bearing, and there seemed to be har-
mony in every gesture. The next part-
ner OF the Prince was Miss Morse, who
danced waltz with him. The other
partners were Miss Blodgett, Miss
Mcdowell, daughter Of General Mellow.
ell Miss NJ. V. Shaler, daughter OF
General Shaler; and Miss Sullivant, an
Ohio belle, md niece OF General Nc.
Dowel From all that has been seen of
the Grand Duke Alexis it is evident that
he is not n "lady man." While acting
us escort he is always polite and occa-
sionally gay. But he never dirts. AS
soon rs the ceremony OF dancing is over
for it is little more than ceremony
for him-he relieves his partner of his
company and goes his way, leaving her
to go hers. II he can steal away he will
walk Off alone, get in n back room, roll
n cigarette, and smoke it. While Alexis
attracted cycrybody's attention his
brother officers were improving the OPP
portunity to put themselves OH good
terms with the ladies, in which they sue
ceeded admirably, being NIL fne.loOking
and well educated men.

Hard Times and Mhat Causes Them.

We are fast becoming nation OF
schemers to live without genuine work.
Our boys arc not learning trades /; our
farmers sons are crowding into cities,
looking for clerkships and Post Offices
hardly one American girl in each hun
dred will do housework for wages, how.
ever urgent her need; SO We arc sending
to Europe for workmen and buying OF
her artisans millions worth OF products
that we ought to make for ourselves.
Though our crop Of rascals is heavy we
do not grow our own hemp though We
are overrun with lads who deserve flag.
COLLATION., We import our willows. Our
women unless deceived) shine in Euro
pean fabrics our men dress in foreign
clothes tho toys which amuse our
younger children have generally reached
us over the sea. We arc like the farmer
who hires his neighbor's son to chop
his wood, feed his stock, and run his er.
rands, while his own boys lounge at the
grog.shop, playing billiards, and then
wonders why, in spite OF his best efforts,
he sinks annually deeper and deeper In.
to debt, till the Sheriff cleans him out,
and he starts West to begin again.
We must turn over new leaf. Our
boys and girls must bo taught to love
labor by qualifying themselves to do it
efficiently. We must turn ont fewer
professionals and more skilled artisans,
as well as food-growors. We must grow
and fabricatG two hundred millions
worth per annum, that We now import,
and so reduce the foreign debt that We
have so long and so successfully aug.
mented year by year. We must qualify
our cleverboys to erect md run factories,
furnaces, rolling-mlls, tanneries, nm
chine shops, etc. to open and work
mines, improve and fashion implements,
and double the present product of their
fathers farm. So shall wc stem the tide
of debt that sets steadily against our
shores, and cease to be visited and an
moved hy hnrd times. .-E'rcinnge.
