There is evidently something wrong

There is evidently something wrong
in the make up Of the Massachusetts
youth. Not long siuce company OF
school boys stoned a poor LADY teacher
to death in open daylight, chuckled over
it when the woman was buried, and no.
thing done about it. A few days since
reports came by telegraph of an old man
of eighty being foully murdered, his
body mutilated and robbed Of the ins'g-
nifcant sum of $50. 1t now proves this
horrible murder was committed by two
boys, aged fifteen. If the youth of Mas.
sachusetts are demoralizcd and blood
thirsty, what, in the name Of all that Is
good, can be the condition of the grown
people there? Surely people that Will
commit such vile and soul-sickenlDg
murders should be the last to raise the
cry of Ku Klux against the people at the
South, who may take the law into their
own hands and wipe out a nigser who
outrases u white woman.

A WORD TO PARENTs.-Why is it
that there is such a repugnance on the
part Of parents to putting their sons to
learn a trade? 4 skilled mechanic is an
independent man. Go where he will,
his craft will bring him support. He
need ask favors of none. He has liter
ally his fortune in his hands. Yet fool
ish parents-ambitious that their sons
should "rise in 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 retail
ing dry goods, or of toiling laboriously
at the accountants desk, than learn a
trade which would bring them manly
strength, health, and independence.
In point Of fact, the method they choo-e
is the one least Likely to achieve the ad-
vanccmcnt aimed III: for the supply of
candidates for positions as "errand
boys" dry goods clerks, and kindred
occupations, is notoriously ovcrstocked;
while on the other hand the demand for
really skilled mechanics Of every dcs-
criptioD, is uotoriously beyond the
supply. The crying need OF this coun-
try to. day is for skilled laboG and that
father who ncglecrs to provide his son
with useful trade, and to see that he
thoroughly y masters it, does him griev
Gus wrong, aud runs therisk of helping,
by so much to increase the stock OF idle
and dependent, if not vicious, members
of society. 1t is stated in the report of

The Progress Of Ages.

The philosopher who first detected
the power of steam was an Egyptian
mathematician and mechanist hero OF
Alexandria, about two hundred years
before Christ; his first engine was pro-
PEELED by the steam rushing through
the spokes. In 1913, at Barcelona, a
Spanish captain, named Blasco de
Garay, proposed to navigate a ship
without sails or oars, he succeeded, it
was then dropped, but kept secret.
During the 18th century an engineer
of Louis XIII, who became clerk Of
the works to the time of James I,
paid some attention to the subject, and
an Italian mechanist, Giovanni Blanca,
proposed to turn mills by steam.
At the beginning of the 18th CEN
tury Edward Somerset, Marquis of
Worcester, at the downfall of Charles
I, was imprisoned, and while watching
the Kissing steam rushing from a tea
kettle, the rising and fallingof the lid,
he invented the modern engine.
Sir Samuel Morland, an English
man, afterwards improved it; Dennis
Papin, Frenchman, added the i'm
provement Of condensing escape steam;
Captain Saveny invented guage pipes;
to this DR.. -Desagulius, D. D., of Lon
don, added the safety valve; New
conner, an iron founder, of Dartmouth,
took out patent and put them into
general use; James Watt added the
throttle valve, governor, &C.; Fulton
cut the waters Of the Hudson.
The FIRST LocoMorlvE.-The AL
lentown (Pa.) Chronicle says: The first
locomotive that ever did service in the
United States is now lying outside of
a foundry at Carbondale, Luzerne
county. It ought to be preserved
somewhere as an interesting relic Of
the early days Of railroading. The fol-
lowing description of its trial, taken
from DR.. HOLSTERS History of the
Lackawana Valley, will be read with
interest:
The first locomotive engine intro.
duced and worked in America, was
run upon the Delaware and Hudson
railroad, in the year 1923, and Homes

Hone, offered its friendly glen for the
purpose Of conducting the experiment

piring knobs bisected, and the height

work of tunnelling progressed three
years; a year and half more was con-
sumed in arching it with brick and
stone, and it was finished-the King

tutiop. The war closed its doors, but it
has been re-eBtablished upon q better basis
than ever before Among it's able faculty
are Gens Kirby Smith and Bushrod John

With such an institution In our midst,
with such a faculty. with ell of its advan-

for any Southern student to seek North

and Harvard occupy in the Northern. We
notice that very successful plan has been

for raising an endowment fund either for

mans injuries or the amount of damage
done to the train. A telegraphic message
to the Office here, asked that an engine and
men be Immediately sent to the scene of
the accident, in order to clear
away the wreck and get - the track
in order. In compliance with
this message Superintendent Speer
at once left with an extra engine and the
required force. 1he train to which the
accident occurred consisted of ten coal
cars and five fats, and it Is not known
whether the entire train was thrown from
the track. The coal cars were from the
Evansville, Henderson and Nashville road,
and it is said were not provided with
brakes, to which fact the run-of is attri-
buted. 1t ia perhaps proper to state that
Superintendent Speer had but yesterday
notified the Evansville, Henderson and
Nashville road that it could send no more
cars without brakes over the Edgefeld and
Kentucky road In consequence Of the
accident, the regular down passenger train
of the Edgefeld and Kentucky railroad
was detained about two hours.
