chants Is that they never announce
the article they have to sell, but
merely its price. They hold the
goods so they can be seen, and then
howl the price, each ono with some

at the corner Of Maiden Lane, has
been there twenty years, with lead
pencils, which he sells ut about hall

he has made n great deal of money

balloons, sometimes spiders, some
times fancy kites, and then again

thing else. How they live is a mis-

Yet they make enough money in a
year or two to be promoted to a re.

merchants in the city commenced
in this humble way. Istood for two
hours yesterday, and watched a man
crying, "here you are, only quar-

were an hundred or more pairs of
suspenders, and though thousands
passed him not a pair did l see him
sell. Finally l as ked him how he
made living standing there and
not selling anything. 81 do sell,''
was his reply. He told me that he
averaged twenty pairs day, that
his articles cost him twelve and a

Cask Making by Machinery. >.

Messrs. A. Ransome & Co., of Stan
ley Works, Kings Road, Chelsea, in
vited a party of gentlemen to inspect
their now completed machinery for the
manufacture of casks. The whole pro-
cess was conducted within single shed,
where by successive machines, attended
either by boys or by unskilled workmen,
the slaves were cut out, shaped and
fitted; the hoops punched, splayed and
bent; the heads planed, ovaled and
beveled; and the several parts, first
roughly put together by hand labor,
compressed and united with the great
est possible firmness. Every portion of
each cask being fitted to the rest with
mathematical accuracy, the completed
work is far better, stronger and tighter
than any thing which can be turned out
by the most skilled hand labor, and the
saving in cost is even more remarkable
than the improvement in quality. Ac-
cordins to a calculation supplied by the
firm to their visitors, the present cost
of making 600 hogsheads a week by
hand labor would be s141 5s., or As.
SID. each, while the cost
of making them by machinery
would be G55, or Is. and 10d each. In
this estimate no allowance is made for
Goals, oil, or wear and tear of plant,
because the total amount of these ex-
penses would be less than that of the
truss hoops and other matters required
in a hand cooperage of the size sup
posed. The machine plant for 600
hogsheads week would cost f3,5OO,
so that the stated weekly saving of
fS5 5s. in labor would afford very
large return upon the outlay, even with
out considering the superior quality of
the casks and the avoidance of the
breakage and waste of wood which oc-
cur in hand manufacture. The work
men who were employed on Wednes-
day were none of them skilled coeperS,
and they had only had weeks prac-
tice with the machines; but the casks
which they made were subjected to the
severest tests by some of the visitors,
and were declared to be in every re-
spect entirely satisfactory. 1t would
seem rs if the trade Of journeymen
coopers were in some danger of being
altogether extinguishe6 by such pow
erful rivalry.-London Journal.

Pierce-BOwdOin.

IincOln-EducaIiOn very limited.
JOhnsOn-Self-ed educated.
Grant-West Point.
Monroe and Harrison did not gradu-
ate. Monroe left college to join the
Revolutionary army. FinanciGlreve
deprived Harrison of full course. Polk
was the oldest when graduating, being
23; TYLER the youngest, Il. The ma
ioritv graduated at 20. this being also
/ the average age. Jefferson probably
had the most liberal education and
/ broadest culture. 1t IS said that his
range of knowledge would compare fa-
vorablv with that of Burke. The drill
at West Point may be considered equal
/ to a college course, and in many re-
spects superior. In discipline md math-
ematical training it is not equaled by
any American college. Counting Gen.
Grant, twO-thirds of our Presidents have
been college men.
