believe the ambition to go to Con-

are euch good speech. makers, is, first.
because, thanks to our educational

honest and capable, and the best man
in the West for President Of the
United States. Mr.. Wilson has not
only won for himself good and en-.
viable reputation in Congress, tor his
honest and straightforward course
for the public good, but he has prov
en- himself to be one Of the wisest
and beet statesmen of the age. BY
bis manly and consistent course in
the late Senatorial fight, he has
shown that he Is just such man as
the people delight to honor. In him
are combined all the elements OF
strength; more so, perhaps, than in
any other man. He is prominently
a selfmade man, one Of the people, and
although he is yet, comparatively,
but young man, he has risen from
the saddler's bench to his present
high position. A self-made man,
above all others, is suitable for Pres

A Lesson for 4 Young Prince. :.

The Grand Duke Alexis is in fair
way to learn many things during his
visit to this country, surprising to
one who has been brought up in a
royal court, where station and pre-.
ferment are the privileges Of heredi-
tary rank or the rewards of tavorit-
ism, rather than of ability and merit.
He IL travelling with his eyes open,
and is receiving new and strange i'm
pressions which NAV lead hereafter to
important practical results.
During his recent visit to Connec-
ticut, while he was passing through
the cartridge factory at Bridgeport,
in company with the Governor of
the State, he noticed the intelligent
and respectable appearance of the
workmen and enquired it they were
called the common people. Gov
ernor Jewell replied that they were
fair specimen OF the WORKING class
es in this country. but do you
mean to say that they get into Official
position ?" he further asked. "Per.
haps not any VI lnese Inen,n ->j~;.ed
the Governor, but men OF their
class do they are intelligent, can
probably read and write, and most of
them take and read the newspapers"
do you know of any cases where
such men have actually been elected
to Office ~ again queried the curious
Alexis. "Oh, certainly" the Gov
ernor said, Il myself worked in a
shop as tanner til! I was twenty
years of age" and the announcement
seemed to puzzle the Duke a good
deal.
Here was the Governor of State,
as well dressed aud as well ell-appearing
as himself. who had actually worked
in shop, and this man was xelcom.
ing him in behalf Of a hundred thous-
and voters; it was more of an enigma
than the boy had ciphered on pre-
viously.
Governor Jewell is. not the only
man in high position whom he will
meet. In nearly every State, and
even at the capital OF the nation,
whose President was tanner, and
one Vice President type-setter, he
will find men occupying the high

The following is "a fair illustration
of what industry and perseverance,
may effect from small beginning
with very small article:
Twenty years ago all the slate pen.
clls used were manufactured IN Ger.
many. She then supplied America
with that commodity. In 1850 there
was young man living in West
Rutland, Vermont, eighteen years OF
age, who fortunately discovered a
supply OF stone tor making first
class article OF slate pencils. He be-
gan by whiting out the pencils and
selling them to the school children.
Being better article than that tor
sale in the stores, he found ready
sale for all he could whittle out.
He argued that it they would sell
thus readily at home, they would sell
readily everywhere. He became
possessed OF the idea that there was
a fortune in the business. aud his
dream has been realized. This quar-.
ry OF slate pencil stone was situated
in a large ravine tour miles north of
Castleton, VT, near Bomeseen Lake.
The land on which it was situated
was for sale at one hundred dollars.
He purchased it, and began opera
tions by saving out the pencils and
whiting them round.
The business of making them grew
immensely on his hands. SO that it
was impossible to keep clean order
book.
Machinery was invented to tacili
tate the process, which has reached
something like PERFECTION, and enor
mously increases the production Of
pencils. At present the quarry and
mills are owned by joint company.
They are valued at three hundred
thousand dollars. From fifty to one
hundred thousand pencils are turned
out daily, and upwards OF hundred
hands are employed in the quarry
and the mill.
After the stone is quarried it pass.
es through four processes before it
is made INTO pencils. It is sawn into
rectangular blocks five inches by sew
en-, and split by hand into slabs of
the same length and breadth. which
are carefully assorted. These slabs
pass through q machine which shaves
them all to uniform thickness of a
vuarter Of an inch, when they are
ready for the final process.
The machinery tor reducing tbeae
slabs TO penciles consists of iron
plates fitted to receive them, fastened
to an endless chain which passes over
rollers at either end.
