the son was given chance to earn his
own living. Young Fitch who had four
sisters and younger brother, who has
since died, was sent to Grammar School
No. 23 The teachers, especially Mr..
Durang and Mr.. Meiggs, became warm
ly attached to him. On graduating
from the school he obtained situation
in the Home Journal Office. but did not r,-
main long He WAS then about four

that of molder. and he became an
apprentice in the Novelty Iron Works.
He aspired to he the foreman of the
place. and worked hard to attain good
position. BY his fellow-em employees hs
was generally liked. All knew him To
be a quiet, industrious young man.
After finishing his trade in 1863 he en-
tered the navy as third assistant cng;-
neer. He went - South America AMI
Europe, and has since visited most ~
the seaports of the world. excepting
those of China. He first SAW Miss Ma
rie Ewing Sherman in London on the
18th of last October.
tn the navy young Fitch was promo
ted to be an engineer. When it was
known in the eth ward that he was to
be married to Miss Sherman the JOY Of
his old companions was unbounded.-
His old instructor. Father Mooney, who
had predicted bright future for his
pupil. was indeed proud.
Lieutenant Fitch's parents and his
three sisters live in a pretty frame build

The South and Its Condition.

1t is the misfortune OF several Southern
States that they are the victims OF law
less disorders and the prey of ignorant
and INSCRIPTIONS politicians. Arkansas
has just escaped--only through the Presi-
dents wise and decisive action-irom a
disgraceful conflict which has left train
of revengeful purposes and murderous
passions behind it. Louisiana has been
involved for nearly two years in an unfor-
tunate political squabbe which has i'm
eded her whole prosperity. South Caro-
lima has suffered under the ignorance and
rapacity of rulers who have swollen her
taxes to an inordinate extent, Mississippi
Alabama, Texas and other States have
been the scenes Of troubles of similar
though less aggravated character.
OF course, all this is deplorabl2. OF
course, everything within the bounds Of
law reason and possibility should be done
to rescue the States from this unhappy
condition. Upon that point there will be
M dissent. For our own part, we con
ccde the seriousness Of these troubles and
dcprecatc them as strongly as anybody
can. But we insist that they shall not be
asCribed to the wrong source ana shall
not be charged upon the policy which is
entirely gultless Of their existence ana
their consequences. The Democratic pa.
pers talk as it, by a different course on
the part Of the General Government, they
could have been avoided, and as though
the reconstruction legislation were re-
sponsible for bringing them into being.
But in reality the evils lie back OF all
that, and reconstruction is no more re-
sponsible for them than it is for the dill
ferences Of skin or the temperament Of
men.

Cannon Made of Ice.

A HOLLOW cylinder will bear greater
strain than solid one. Many of us know
by experiment what hard pressure an
egg will resist when placed cndwise be-
tween the HANDS. This curious strength
in q round but weak substance is due to
the exact, orderly arrangement of the par
ticles, t.e., in perfect curves. A memora-
bic illustration was seen in the mock ar
tillery set to play guard in front of that
creation of imperial within, the ice palace
OF Catharine OF Russia. Before the pal
ace stood six cannons OF ice, and two NOR
tars formed OF cast pieces. The cannons
were six.pounders, which are commonly
loaded with three pounds of powder;
these, however, with II quarter of pound,
and carried a ball of stuffed hemp, and
sometimes Of iron. The balls at dis
lance OF sixty spaces passed through
board two inches in thickness. The ice
of the cannon could not have been more
than three or four inches in thickness,
and yet it resisted the force OF the explo-
Scandinavian Manufacturer.
