Sherwood and Doyle were attracted out from
the camp by a white flag. They went 400 or
800 yards, when they met what they supposed
were only two Indians, who said they wanted
to talk TO Little Tyee,"-Col. Mason. Thew
were told they did not want TO talk, and for
the Indians to go back to their camp and thew

Yesterday morningsthe train from the
East brought into the city, among
others, q man named Richland, who uas
so much under the influence Of liquor
that he could scarcely walk to a hotel.
After sitting stupidity around for a while
he went into breakfast. Half an hour
afterward he asked for his overcoat.
The clerk replied that he had seen moth
ing of his coat, and was sure that he
had not given one in charge. The man
then stated that he had left his overcoat
The clerk replied that he had left his
coat, and was sure that he had not given
one in charge. The man then stated
that he had left his overcoat somewhere,
and further, that the o~vercoat contained
two bags of silver and gold, amounting
to nearly $1,000, and enough Canada
money to make the sum over 5000. He
was not yet sober when he started out
with parties who assisted him to make o
search of the cars, the railroad passen-
ger boat, and the depot. The coat was
nowhere to be found, and the Richland
crossed to Windsor and searched around
without obtaining any trace Of it. Ac-
cording to his own statement, he took
several drinks of whisky at London,
Ont, from a bottle which q fellow-pas-
senger kindly offered him. He had
been wearing his overcoat, bat the find
heated him up so that he took it of, and
then very probably took out his paper
money and slowed it away with the spe-
Gle. He thinks he slept all the way to
Detroit, and probably did, and just IS
probably some one took the coat from
under his head and left the train at
some station. He telegraphed to points
along the road, and Officer Mearwood
made a thorough search here, but the
coat could not be heard OF. Richland
represents himself as a grain and pro-
duce buyer, employing several clerks
and agents. He has several business
acquaintance in Detroit, and procured
money to return home. There is scarce
ly a chance in ten that he viii ever re-
cover a dollar Of his money.

He could certainly do thriving
| (and perhaps a staving business)
ut the cooper trade. "''
If he believes in " measure, not
men," he will embark in the tailor
ing business. @
If the one great object Of his life
is to make money he should get n
position in the United States mint.
If he is a punctual sort Of a chap
and anxious to be ION time, he
should put his hands to watch max
ing. a...
If he believe in the chief end of
man to have his business largely
. felt" why, of course he will be-
come halter.
If ho wants to get at the root Of
thing, he will become a dentist
although if lie does, he will be found
looking down in the mouth"
If man is bungler at his best,
he should become physician, and
then will have none of his bad
work thrown upon his hands. 1t

Should he be inclined to high
living, but prefer q plain board,
then the carpenter trade will suit
him. He can plain board enough
at that. ''. fa--
If he is needy and we'll bred he
will be right at home rs baker.
He shouldn't become cigar ma
ker. If he does, all his work will
end in smoke. aaH
The young man who enjoys plen-
ty of company, and is over ready
to scrape acquaintance, will find the
barber business congenial pursuit.
The quickest way for him to as
ccnd to the top round of his calling
is to become hod carrier. 49,

matter how well you please your

get down on your work.
And don't become an umbrella
maker, for their business is FUSED

The young man who would have
the fruits of his labor brought be-
fore the eyes of the people, will be-
come an optician. The work being
easily seen through, cannot be diff

The Lost Arts.

Mr.. Wendell Phillips recently dc.
livered in New York, for the how.
many. .hundrcdth time, his famous
lecture on this subject, and tho
Tribune reported it in full. 1t is
Of course, interesting; but it strange.
ly confounds legend and fact and
ignores some plain and elementary
distinctions. For instance, Mr.
Phillips takes pains to argue from
the minutencss of ancient gem.
carvings, that the microscope is not
so modern as wo think. Does he
not know the radical difference be-
tween the magniGying glass aud the
microscope? From an alleged ring
with q gem in it, through which
Nero looked at the gladiators, he
infcrs that Nero had an opera glass.
This repeats tho error we have
pointed out. Tho knowledge Of
tho magnifying glass among the
ancients is not at all surprising, and
need not be so ingeniously inferred
There is u description of Il burning
glass in the Nubes of Aristophancs;
any drop of water could have Civ
en- the idea and it is scarcely pos
sible to manufacture glass without
Obtaining portions Of it in forms
that will magnify objects. But the
invention of tho microscope is
very different affair, and came to
pass only after the discovery of the
camera obScura. The story of the
way in which Solomon's temple Cor
some other ancient ediiice) was
protected with spear heads, which
the sentinels touched, to ascertain
the electrical condition of affairs, if
correctly reported, seems to indi-
cate that the ancicnts knew as much
about lightning-rods as Mr.. Phillips.
The fact is, that the 4" lost arts are
very few, and mostly not worth the
finding. Outside oe the glass bust
ness, which is the strongest point
in their favor, the achievements OF
the ancionts were principally ac-
complished by individual patience
and manual doxterity on the one
hand, or by masses of men, under
dcspotic directions, on the other.
An element in both cases was the
small valuo of labor. The art which
they had, and we have compara-
lively lost, is tho art of wasting
time. .-ChriStian Union.
