THE. LEASURE TIME OF
BOYS. a1

We would suggest, to the many
parents who are perplexed with the
difficulty Of finding the wherewithal
to amuse and interest their boys, to
give their lads every opportunity Of
acquiring a mechanical trade. The
industry and ingenuity of a boy Of
average abilities says the Scientific
Ameracan, may easily be made to
furnish him with never-faiIing
source Of amusement of the best or
der. I he boy who can produce or
make something, already begins to
feel he is somebody in the world,
that achievement of a result is not
a reward reserved for grown people
only. And tn education of mind,
eye and hand, which this use Of tools
and mechanical appliances furnishes,
lis Of great and real value, beyond
the good resulting from the occu-
patton Of leisure time. Having
nothing to do is as great a snare to
the young as it is to the full grown !:
and no greater benefits can be con-
ferred on youths than to teach them
to convert time now wasted, into
pleasant means Of recreation and
mental improvement. The boy
whose time and mind are now occu-
pied with marbles and kites may be
a Watt, HORSE, Bessemer, in en-
bryo and it is certainly an easy
matter to turn his thoughts and mu-
sings into channel which shall give
full scope to their faculties. 70
most boys the use OF mechanical
tools is the most facinating of all
occupations. AS logic and lpathe-
matics have value beyond accuracy
in argument and the correct solution
of problems, 10 that they teach men
the habit of using their rejecting
powers systematically, so carpentry,
turing, and other arts, are of high
Importance. These occupations
teach boys to think 10 proceed from
Initial causes tC results, and not on
ly to understand the nature and duty
of the mechanical powers. but to
observe their effects; but to acquire
knowledge by actual experiment,
winch IS the best way OF learning
anything, All tho theories culled
out of books leave an impress on the
mind and memory which is slight
compared to that of the practical ex-
perlence of the true mechanic. Our
advice is to all who have the great
responsibility Of the charge of boys =:
'Tlye them a lathe, or set OF carpen-
ter's or even blacksmith's tools :;
give their mind turn toward the
solid and useful side Of life. You
will soon see the result in increased
activity Of discriminating capabilities,
and the direction of their ideas
toward practical results +; and, still
more obviously, in the avoidance Of
idle mischief and nonsense 10 omit
all reference to absolute wickedness
and moral degradation which are,
TO 100 great an extent, the pastime of
the generation which is to succeed
US.

Stop Just Here.

Some very ugly stories are told in
Washington about the expenditures for
Congress and the Departments. The Ian
daulet of the Attorney Generals Office,
with its gilt harness and costly trimmings,
has already passed into history. There
are rumors that the wives of a great many
Cabinet officers have been in the habit for
years past of maintaining snowy equipages
and dispensing hospitality at the expense
Of the United States, and that Mr. Viii
liams has only followed the example Of
previous administrations, and the custom
now generally observed in Washington.
We are told that the domestic servants of
high officials are borne on the pay-rolls Of
the Departments as temporary clerks; thlt
furniture for my lady's parlor is charged
TO the Government under the head of sun
plies for the public Offices; that visiting
cards, card plates, fancy stationery, and
various feminine knick -knacks, are paid
for out Of the contingent funds for the
Senate and House that fabulous amounts
Of writing paper, and multitudes of pen
knives, with lone gold toothpick," have
been charged as supplies to committees;
that the Government spent S13 900 during
the last campaign, besides giving the SER
vices Of twenty or thirty clerks, to enable
the three political committees at Washing
ton to violate the law by sending election
documents free through the mails; that
wherever dollar can be filched from the
national treasury the official dead-head
stretches out his hand and takes il under
some petty false pretense, trusting that the
fraud will be never found out and the
money never missed.
II is high time for a little serious atten-
ton to these charges If they are not true
the honor Of the country requires that they
be disproved at once. If they are true,
the disgraceful abuses must be stopped.
No one party and no particular admins
tration should be held responsible for
them. They have probably grown up in
sensibly in the course Of years, and are no
ing on from bad to worse under the quasi
sanction Of a vicious custom. Weber the
proper committees Of the Senate and House
togive them their immediate attention. We
have fallen upon times when it Is impor-
tant for us to scrutinize every dollar Of ex-
penditure and check every kind of extray-
agance, however small. In the aggregate
these pilierings amount to a great deal
but it is less for the money that the coun.
try cares than for the diseredit and the
bad example. When Cabinet officers mis-
appropriate the contingent fund, and Con.
gressmen tilch pocket knives and ink
stands and bay rum, we need not be sur.
pfised to aad collectors specializing with
the public funds, and postmasten riding
the mails, and paymasters cashiered for
defalcaiion. The country cries, Stop, lust

Newspaper Clamor.

The one thing which the unfaithful,
corrupt, peculating, pilfering public ser
want breads above all Others, and has most
reason to dread, is the newspaper The
newspaper means detection, exposure, pun
ishment II did not always mean this.
Time was when the newspaper was the
great psan's very obedient, humble servant;
taking its opinions from his lips, always
ready to run on his errands, thankfully
gathering up the crumbs from his table.
In those by-gone days the newspapers car
dinal rule for the conduct of life was to
stand by the leaders Of the party through
thick and thin, reserving all its hard Ian
guage for the other side. But the times
change and the newspaper changes with
them. 1t is almost impossible to exagger-
ate the importance Of this revolution in
the theory and practice of journalism that
is going on, SO silently but so swiftly, all
over the land. We have pointed out its
bearings and inevitable consequences too
often to need now to 60 over them again
in detail But it cannot be repeated too
often, that this new glare Of publicity,
which the Butler school Of politicians SO
cordially dread and deprecate Is the best
guarantee for the future Of free, popular
institutions on this continent.
In securing the newspaper that holds
itself consciously responsible to them, and
to them only under God, the people con-
vert their nominal, titular sovereignty into

ton with that high ofhce. Gentlemen who
have been counting noses, say that Mr..
Groome has the inside track, and that the
mantle Of the retiring Governor viii fall

lawyer Of prominence, genial and courte-
Gus gentleman, whose manners are emf

NEWSPAPERS PosrxoE- - Postmaster
Geucral Creswell, in his reply to the SEN
ate resolution on the franking privilege,
etc, IN speaking Of the free distribution Of
papenin the county where published, says
There il one restriction, however, which
Ineyer advised, and which, in my opinion,
might be safely removed, and that Is tie pro-
vision which forbids the free transportation Of
weekly newspapers within the counties Of their
publication, as heretofore authorized BY law.
The grounds upon which this Recommendation
is made are:--First, thaf such papers are SO
evenly distributed over the entire extent Of the
country, and confined to lines Of transit so
short that they have never been known to i'm
pede the distribution and transportion Of the
mails; and secondly, that the amount Of pos
tage levied upon them as at present collected,
while aifording but trihing revenue 70 the
department, is yet heavy enough TO be severely
fell BY their proprietors and patrons, and to
ol;=sssss he dissemination observation-disclosures.
Good reasons may also be given in favor Of
free exchange between newspapers.
