LEARN A TRADE.-The false notion
that physical labor detracts from the
dignity of man, has o~verstocked the
cOunting-roOm and the professional
places, and many a young man in these
positions is ekeing out a scanty support,
and in most cases, is the dependent Slave
of his employer. But this snot the only
evil resulting from this false notion. It
has, in many cases, driven young men to
the commission of crimes because of the
lack of adequate support afforded by
these positions, and it has done much to
increase the stock of dependent idlers,
if not vicious members Of society.
The great necessity of the age is more
skilled labor. Many branches of indus
try are languishing, and much evil to
society is the result, for the want of
brain and muscle to carry on the enter
prises. The young man who is possess
sed Of the knowledge of a good trade, is
possessed of a capital which will always
command for him employment which
will insure him a decent support, let him
go where he will. If you would make
OQrself INDEPENDENT learn a trade, young
man, and do not set idly around, waiting
for something to turn up.

A FRONTIER PRINTING OFE1cE.-Dr.
Redfeld thus writes to the Cincinnati
Commercial of d visit to a printing office
at Glyndon, Mimi, a frontier town not
yet settled quite a year, where the socie-
ty consists chiefly Of trappers, hunters,
saloon keepers and Swedish servant
girls"
In walking about the happy village Of
the plain, butting against the merciless
wind much as a man would against a
stubborn barn door, | CHANGED into the
office of the Red River Gazette, the next
to last paper upon the frontier. This
little journal, hanging upon the verge of
civilization, as it were, presents a very
creditable appearance. The editor, his
wife and children do all the intellectual
and mechanical work. The printshop is
a coy little structure of one room, and
answers for a dwelling as well, In one
corner are the cases, in another the cook
ing stove, table and dishes, in another
the press, and in the other a bed. In the
middle is another stove. It takes two
stoves to have any effect on twenty
square feet of this climate. The editor
was not in, but his good wife and one of
his children were. The wife was writing
editorials and making pies, while the
child kept up fires and set type. It was
a happy picture of diversified industry.

the Katie" Sunday morning, in COM
pany with several members of the press
and other friends and acquaintance,
was too great to be withstood. Person
ally and in common with the other
members of the press, | am very much
pleased with the visit to Baton Rouge,

soOn be realized--the return of the State
capitol to their city.
Preached here last night and have not
yet left the hotel nor read the morning
papers. From a fellow boarder and
member of the press convention, resid-
ing at Brashear City, who is in a position
to know whereof he speaks, I have OBJ
tanned the gratifying intelligence that
the railroad from the Bay to Shreve-
port, by Opelousas, will be built, by
Morgan ; and that the construction of a
Bridge across the Bay has been con
tracted for. Au revoir.

Many newspapers complain of the in
depreciation of the new postal-law which
compels the payment Of postage upon
newspaper exchanges. These com
plants, we a%pprehend, are ill-advised.
So far as the public is concerned, a tax
upon the dissemination of new
papers is doubtless bad in it's effects
knowledge should be cheapened asmuch
as possible-but the ultimate effect upon
the newspapers is likely to be good. The
press Of the country should be perfectly
self-reliant in every way. If no favors
are received, there will be fewer news
paper failures, and fewer departures
from the common trade laws which
should govern publishing not less than
any other business, In the give-and-
take practice which has prevailed, the
newspaper press has always been the
loser, and the time which appears com
ing, when there will be no free passes
and no free advertising nor nufing will
approximate toward the millennium for
journalism.-[VickshHrg Herald.

Party Gratitude.
From the New Orleans Republican. |

- lElou IL ANSh OIlGdLS ISCDuUIlEttH.
We may take as a lesson to ourselves
the ingratitude of the partisan, for it
will dlshOnor one political association
as well as another. The last specimen
of this vice from o small paper
printed at an interior Alabama post
office, whose circulation is multiplied
into that of the Louisville C0mier-J0ur-
nal. This last named paper it will be
remembered was a strong Union press
at the time Beauregard was fighting ON
the other side. 1t is now the exclusive
champion of Southern rights. The
small paper gives Major General Butler
the worst name in it's vocabulary and
then says:
"To-day Butler, with all his scound-
relism, is a man to be respected
by the Southern people than the degra-
ded ex-Confederate who has covered
under adverse surroundings, and re-
ports, as chairman of a committee in
New Orleans, a system of social equal
ity that goes further than Summers civ
il rights bill. This is from General
Beauregard, a once hOnored General Of
the Lost Cause. To what base uses do
we come"
It is no province of ours to defend
General Beauregard against the assaults
of his own former friends, but we take
this TRADE Of OblOquy to show how lit
tie the good will OF good word of a par
ty striker is to be relied on. Beaure-
gard, we think, resigned a commission
i'll the federal service to sustain his
native State in the position she chose to
occupy, In the earliest and one of the
most important battles of the war he
was successful and demonstrated a
jealous devotion to the cause he had
chosen. 'HeWas in command of the de-
lenses Of Charleston, and Of the lines of
Petersburg and City Point. From first
to last he was devoted to the cause
which was lost. During the whole pc
riOd he was never, SO far as we are in
formed, charged with having sold him
self, his troops, or his cause. Since the
war we have known him to have pre-
served the respect of the men who
addressed himself to the pacifcation of
the sections and to works of public
usefulness. Now, it seems to us, that if
he was a maj to "sen out,h as is init
mated in the heading of the small paper,
he could have shown some symptoms
of that weakness when he might have
saved himself and his property by ten
dering his sword to the federal govern
ment.
But these small newspapers, acting
under orders from the New York World
and its ally the New York Tribune, for
get the past sacrifices of @ man who has
once fought for them whenever he dares
do any act without their permission.
The audacity of his conduct becomes
more conspicuous when one compares
the renown which such men as Long
street and Mosby have gained through
out the world with the contemplate
obscurity Of the ungrateful followers
who defame them.
To us, however, there is no more in
this impudent abuse of eminent men
than an example of partisan injustice.
| We have seen such in all parties, and
know that the only relief from such as
saults consists. in q lofty integrity
which despises them.

Did you ever e a man fish around
in the bottom of a tub of water for a
piece of soap? At first he simply
reaches down upon it to pick it right
up, and IS very much surprised to find
that he hasn't got it. Then he ap-
proaches it more cautiously, @puts his
hand owe it, and then comes down
noiselessly until he gets every finger
about it, and he squeezes it tight, and
misses it. He looks at it q moment
before another effort and fills up the
interval with a few remarks not noted
for delicacy. The third attempt is a
sort of semi-circle decribed with a great
deal of sagaeity, but is a failure. 9th
er remarks follow. Then he makes a
succession of dives and slons the water
over his clothes, and drenGhes the car
pet, and catches hold of the soap seYe-
raj times, and lets go of it again, and
screams to the top of his voice, and f.
nallv, in perfect despair sits down on
the floor and actually howls.-[Danbary

A MAN WITHOUT MUsCLEs.-A faro
dealer in this city about four years ago
was compelled to relinquish his profess
sion by a paralysis of his right fOrefnger.
The nerve cell lin the spinal column)
which had supplied the joint had died
away through disuse-atrophied, the
doctors call it. The dead cell in the spi-
nal marrow in some way, by contact or
sympathy, destrOyedits neighbOr, which
controlled the same finger on the left
hand, The atrophy extended over both
hands, up the arms, to the chest, should
ers and neck. At the present time there
is not a muscle in those portions of the
mans body. The arms hangMseless and
absolutely feshless-mere skin and bone.
The intercOstal muscles are gone, and
the man can make no respiratory move
ments requiring their action; the neck
is 9sophagus, traChea, and spinal col
mi clad in skin, and that is all, the
processes of the latter standing out as
plainly as in a skeleton. The head, I'M
supported, hangs down on the chest, as
if it were merely tied on. By q move
ment Of the lOins the man can throw his
head over so that it will fall resting on
his shoulders and back, but otherwise
than thus, mechanically, he cannot con-
troll its motion. What parts the disease
will next attack is a question with the
physicians at Bellevue, where the case
was shown yesterday, but the result is
hardly doubtful. Breathing is dOnenow
by the diaphragm, and must cease if that
be attacked.-[N. Y. World.

lu-ADVISED misunderstanding to the re-
cent monthly report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture, derived from answers to circu-
lars sent ont i'll March, it appears that there is
no systematic rotation of crops i'll any cOnside-
rable portion of the United States. In the
a large area constantly in grass, and the de-
mand for garden products renderSrOtatiOn very
difficult. In some sections wheat and tobacco
have been raised for twenty years successfully
on the same land, which, however, is highly
fertiliZcd every year. In Rhode Island field
crops of onions are repeated from five to eight
years, until the smut kills them. In the Middle
States systematic rotation is pursued to a great
extent with marked results. In New Jersey.
crop rotation is observed, though large arms of
marshes are continually kept in cranberrfes.
In PennSylVanla only three counties are re-

thoroughly mature, to be followed by oats.
wheat, and two crops of grass. III MARYLAND
rotation is general, but in some districts there
Is a decided tendency to excessive grain and
grass crops. Virginia, in one fourth of its conn
ties, observes a regular routine of corn, wheat.
or oats and clover. In the Southern States gen
orally, every crop is neglected for cotton, fields
having been kept planted with this bush for
twenty-five years. In the States bordering on
the Ohio some attention has been paid to TOta-
ton, though in the alluvial bottom corn is some
Tunes continued for fifty years, and on the up-
lands wheat is grown continuously for twenty
years. Rotation is little known west of the
Mississippi and i'll the Pacific States. The Com
missioner, from the answers of his CorresDOnd-
ents, draws the conclusion that home nr0duc-
ton for home consumption is a more profitable
permanent policy than the opposite theory ::
that greater profit can be obtained from feeding
hay and grain to stock than from selling them.
and that home manufactured manure Is more
beneficial than commercial fertilizers.
