THE New York correspondent Of
the New Orleans Republican writes
as follows regarding the coming Pres
idcntial campaign:
Among the young fellows ambi-
tious Of Presidential honors Is Gener-
al Logan. We know he expects to
run, for we met him a few days since
ut the Fifth Avenue, and when we
asked him who was his candidate he
couldn't think of anybody. He was
in complete quandary.
Chow about Grant, General" we
asked.
"Well, Grant--why Grant has had
one termlin the White House, and Pm
inclined to think as Mr.. Greeley
does"
Wouldn't Summer run well? ?"
"No, Sumner Is too old besides
Grant would kill him with anti-office
influence"
How about Chase ."
"Oh! he died in 'Gs. He's very
dead.n
Conkling ?"
"He's too id peacocky; too many
people hate him personally"
"Ain't Fenton n strong man ?"
+" Well, yes, Fenton Is strong and
oily, too. He would make better
Warwick than King. Then Conk-
ling would run himself out OF his
patent-leather shoes to kick him,
even II II hurt his foot more than his
colleague"
And so we went through Colfax,
Blaine ard Butler up and down the
gamut Of the Senate and House, but
Logan could not think Of a man
no, not one who would be able 10
lead us TO victory In 1879.

No refrigerator or ice-b0x will pre-
vent or even retard the melting Of
the ice which does not combine the
following conditions: First 1t must
have double sides, bottom and lid,
with the space between the two ca
sings filled with some n0n-conduct-
ing substance capable of being close
ly packed, In order to prevent the
action Of the external temperature;
and, second, the inner lid or cover,
should be practically Il not hermeti-
cally, alright, in furtherance Of the
same result. II external air enters
1t will bring its own temperature
with it. There should also be q
drainage-pipe at the bottom TO carry
off, instantaneously, every drop of
water formed by the melting of the
ice, and this pipe should either be
fitted with q "trap' or curved In
such manner as to prevent air from
coming in where the water goes out.
1t Is even more indispensable to
carry off every drop Of the water
than 1t Is to exclude the ARA view
not generally entertained by cOnsum-
ers of the article, hut which, accord
ing to experiments made, seems to be
fully demonstrated. Thus, on expos
ing a piece Of Ice weighing, say,
twenty-five pounds to- the air, at a
temperature of seventy-five degrees,
hut so placed that it Is perfectly
drained, 1t will be found to have
scarcely disappeared at the end oi
itwenty-four hours. Wrap the same
piece In three or four thicknesses Of
blanket or flannel, and place it in q
small tub exposed to the same tenn
perature, and, as the water filters
through the blanket, the Ice will
stand In its own water, and will he
all dissolved in five or six hours
! Wrap the same piece of ice carefully
in blanket, and place 1t on a graf
ing, or on four crossed sticks, so that
no water can accumulate underneath,
and at the end of three or even -four
days it will not have entirely melted.

Apprentices and IIaIrTrained work.
men.

The fact has attracted attention
that the race OF skilled mechanics Il
virtually dying out In this country,
but until recently no effort has been
made TO remedy the evil. The Leg.
islature of New York, however, late
ly passed law regulating the en-
ployment OF minors, designed to have
beneficial effect In the direction in
dictated. 1t provides that minors un-
der twenty one years Of age shall only
be employed at trades and indentured
apprentices, by authority Of their pa
rents and guardians, Ind binding
thcm to serve three years, and moi
more than five years. EMPLOYERS
are required to furnish said apprent-
Ices with board. lodging, and medical
attendance, and teach them trade.
and, In case of failure, the court NAV
cancel the indentures. IL the apprent-
Ice leaves his employer, he Is liable
to certain penalties, ut the discretion
OF the magistrate. II this law IL
properly enfOrced'it will ensure more
thoroughness of training of apprent-
Ices than heretofore, and will raise q
skilled body Of workmen. AT pres
ent 1t Is notorious that many EN-
ployers make no effort to really in
struct the apprentice In his trade on
the system Of thoroughness required
In Europe. The consequences Is that
we are obliged to rely largely Tor
skilled w0rkmen on immigration.
Thus In many Of the trades, the APP
prentice In given the run of the shop
for u short time, and picks up smat-
tering OF knowledge, which enables
him to get employment speedily as q
Iourneyman, but which Is not sufiici-
ent to enable him to compete with
the skillful foreign work men, trained
by years Of careful apprenticeship.
IL Is evident that more Thought,
followed up by adequate legislation,
must be given In this country To the
matter of securing thorOughness In

THECoUNTRYMAN's ANswER.-A
great and learned atheist once met a
plain countryman going to church.
He asked him" Where are you go
ing?
"To church SIR"
"What to do there?"
"TO Worship God.
"Pray is you- God a great or little
God"
I" He Is both, SIR"
"How can he be both ?"
Z, He IL so great, sir, that the heav-
en- of heavens cannot contain Him,
and 80 Htfie that He can dwell Ia my
poor heart"
The atheist declared that this sim
pie answer Of the countryman had
more effect upon his mind than all
the volumes the learned doctors had
written upon the subject.
