papers calling Oh us to "show arOund'

us most Is that these fellows invariably
pouncc upon country editors whom they

test dead-beat heard from has been hoy
ering around Carmi, and in the capacity
Of doctor managed to defraud her citi-
zens, including one Of the editors OF the
Carmi Times. The following. from the

A Word to Young Mechanics,

Every one that ever learned a trade
knows that many a time he has been
without any clear idea of what he was
doing, having merely acted as the ma
chine of master who was credited with
being a No. l mechanic, and all which
that should imply, but who just lacked
one thing, and that very important
one-he did not understand how to tell
another how to do what he could do ex-
ceedingly well himself, and, as q general
rule, got into a passion because his
"cub" " didn't do it just to his mind.
Now could drop word of advice here
to journeymen but you know, boys, as
well as l do, that it is not our place to
tell "iour." anything, for fear his dig
nifty might suffer, and ours too in conse-
quence. But my advice to you is simply
this A: In starting out to learn a trade,
make up your mind to learn and study
both at the same time. This combina-
tion of occupations, it unfortunately hap
pens, is rarely agreeable at fifteen or
seventeen years of age, when one has
just left school, and all study is looked
at as something belonging to bygone
days. have been told by many young
man that work was his portion now, and
that he didn't have time to study, and
besides he was so tired at night that it
was out of the question. My reply to
those who speak in this way is :
"But you misunderstood me, my
young friend. The lessons you need to
study now are not taught in schools, col
leges OF seminaries. You never see the
books you need to apply your mind to
now in libraries"
L lay piece of wood before the car
penter and say "My boy, that is one
of your books" I present a piece of
iron to the blacksmith in the same man.
ner, and on through all the branches OF
mechanism. The carpenter answers
"Why, this is only piece of pine, OF
of oak, and nothing more" The smith
will say: "A bit of iron, and that's all. .
But here comes the question: "What
do you know of the nature of the wood,
or of the iron, and why should you know
its nature? True, you may be able tc
work them after a fashion, and youl
powers of imitation may enable you tc
be as good a mechanic as the man who
taught you; but you will never thus, il
the nature of things, excel, and excellence
is what every young man should have in
view in any pursuit, for without it yor
will be termed just what you so Otter
hear of-only mechanic"
Every mechanic should have as thor
ough a knowledge of the material he
works as has thu best chemist in the
land and this cannot be arrived at with
out close study and attention to its every
natural feature-strength, power of re
sistance, and tension ; in short, every
thing connected with its working O
transformation from one condition to an
other. This knowledge is what is mean
when you hear man spoken of as al
experienced mechanic.

4 Will Case.

Mrs. Cruger, lady of wealth, and
distinguished for many years in New
York society, died in 1872, at the age of
eighty-three, leaving a considerable es-
tate. By a will which is the subject
matter of the surrogate's decision, she
left some S240, 900, being the larger part
of her estate, to the American Bible
Society and the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions in equal parts. This will was
executed Jan. 3, 1868, and codicil,
which changes the method, but not the
purpose, of the previous paper, was
executed July 20, 1869. In opposition
to the probate of the will, it is alleged
by Mrs. Cruger's next of kin, who under
an intestate distribution of the property
would be her heirs, that the testatrix
was at the dates of the will and codicil
incapable of making a valid will, on
account of an insane condition of mind,
with special reference to the subject
matter of those instruments. Surrogate
Hutchings, after considering the evi-
dence in the case, rejects the papers and
decides that Mrs. Cruger died intestate.
The Bible Society loses the large be-
quest, and it goes of course to the heirs
OF the deceased.
