A Witness as Was a Witness.

The court in the Ellenton Is. c. trial
was cOnvulsed with laughter by the
quaint talk of a singular type of Afri-
can named Frederic Jones. He was
about 60 OF 20 years of age, not more
than five feet high, short-legged and
straight bodied. He lived on ''de hard
scrabble rOad,n near ROuse's bridge !;
and on this Sunday was going to meet
ing, for there were to be three funerals
preached. On his way he saw cluster
of men riding up and down the road
and carrying guns. He got scared, and
when they happened to come close to
him, he ran, but they hemmed him in,
and he was captured and taken to Mr..
Dickson Owens. Then he told his story
about as follows: "Mr. Owens said,
FREDERICK | said, 'SahF He said,

said, 'Sahr He says, Don you know

Den he said, How you voted 2 | said

y GU mus all come to our cOmpiniOn OF
we will make yOu.' Den he said hadn't
| seen Col. Butler and his men? | said,
4 dunno, sab; l seed three or four hun
dred thousand men. At this unexpect-
ed and sweeping exaggeration, uttered
in the comical piping tones of the wit
ness, even the court broke down. Chief
Justice Waite and Judge Bond made
no effort to conceal their feelings, and
the jury, witnesses, counsel, defendants
and spectators all joined in one general
OUTLAW. The witness, seeing that some
thing had happened, but hardly com
pretending what it was, felt called on
to make an explanation, and us soon us
there was lull he went on ''Well, de
men was about three acres long and
four tier deep" This did not give re-
lief to the aching sides of the dignified
men who were doing their best to sup
press their laughter, and fresh out
burst was the result. AS soon as quiet
was restored the witness tried it again,
but made it worse ''Well, you see dey

Some Gentlemen Farmers.

New York Letter to the Rochester Democrat
There is rich vein of humor in the
following article, but the 'facts" are
fearfully Overdrawn, in some instances
at least.
1t has been of late proposed to raise
by public subscription enough to en-
able Mr.. Evarts to hold the Office
of Secretary of State without damage
to his private interest. One of the
best features in any such measure
would be to abolish his Vermont farm,
which is said to exhaust the best part
OF his income. He has 20 head of cat
tie, 200 sheep, Is horses and % swine.
The extent of land is 800 acres. Last
year 200 tons of hay were cut costing
tue proprietor not much more than
double the market price. More than
1000 bushels of corn were raised at an
estimated loss of 50 cents per bushel
and therefore ought to be of good quail
ity. His pork is estimated at 20 cents
pound, and his chickens So a pair.
AS long as he has to support this es-
tablishment Mr.. Evarts will not be able
to serve the nation as secretary of state
without a liberal subscription.
Beecher last year raised about $4,000
bushels of onions on his Peekskill farm.
They cost him $50 according to esti-
mate, and as the market in this city
was 81 any one can see how much he
made. Beecher can send beef to the
New York market at so cents a pound,
and can raise oats at as low Il mark as
81 bushel. His butter is reckOned at
S1.25 a pound and his eggs at rs cents
a dozen. | do not credit the report
that he has fine bull named Chico
dOre" and boar named Frank. "
Beecher will not libel his animals. He
cleared $4,000 by lecturing last winter
and if he maintains such an income he
will be able to continue farming.
Cough lectures five times Il week,
his fee being two hundred dollars. He
has farm at Worcester, which at one
time contained Us acres. He has no
children, but his expenses are very
heavy, and to bring matters in IA snug
shape he sold Il part of his land and re-
duced the farm to l25 acres, which is
as extensive as his income will admit.
A few years ago his wife, who was a
Yankee girl, undertook to raise fancy
fowls, which some say are very profit
able. She got up very nice variety,
and at Il very reasonable expense for
the Shanghais did not cost more than
$75 dollars pair. The Cochin Chinas
were little cheaper, and bantams
could be rated at from S25 to $40. AT
ter stocking the place with these rare
birds, Cough, as it is said, found that
il they were to be kept up he would
"be obliged" to lecture Oh Sundays us
well as on weekdays to make IA living.
When it costs Sl5 to winter chicken
man needs IA good income. The sys-
TEN was, therefore changed the fowls
were abolished, and regular crops were
tried with decided success. AS long as
Coughs rye does not cost more than So
per bushel, and other crops are kept at
an equally reduced rate, his present in
come will enable him to live in very
decent manner. There is nothing like
farming life for men vino have plenty
of money.

never was time in the history of the
country when skilled labor was in such
demand. Wealth has brought culture,
and culture demands thousand new
industries that wealth is willing to pay
for literally. To become a skilled ar
tizan is to obtain independence. An
expert carver in wood can earn as much
money in year as the cashier OF
bank. Good engravers make their own
terms. We need workers in brass and
iron who can give evidence of the pos
session of brains as well as hands.
There will probably never come period
in human history when the supply of
skilled labor shall exceed the demand.

Boys and Business.

The American Builder deals hard
blows, but deserved, we suspect, at the
extravagant promises often made by
the so called business colleges. At any
rate there can be no doubt of the pro-
found good sense in what it says about
learning trade. Not only does a good
trade give a man ten-fOld better assur-
ance of comfortable livelihood, but Il
ten-fOld assurance of final wealth. The
brains that will make IA successful bust
ness man will make a successful builder,
manufacturer, etc. And the best road
to these places is to commence at that
lowest round of the ladder, an appren-
ticeship:
Nearly every boy dislikes labor. The
callOus hand has no attraction for the
most obscure rustic. What wonder,
then, that when weary with his days
labor, the country lad reads with rare
interest how this or that princely mer-
chant came twenty years ago, to the
great city, ii poor boy, and worked his
way to opulence, following the legiti-
mate channels of trade. Nor need we
think it strange that when he reads of
these things, and learns further on how
thorough business education may be
acquired in six months time; more
than this, that the managers of the
scheol-magnanimou meR-will help
him to a situatiOn-we need not think
it strange that restless fever seizes
him, and desire for life of ease in
the city is from hencefOrth AN uncOn-
trollable passion.
There has not been a day during the
past five Years, when two line adj
Vertisement inserted in the Chicago
Tribune, for a book-keeper, would not
have been answered by at least fifty
persons, the half of whom would have
been perfectly competent to fill almost
any position of the kind. And yet the
managers of these Business Colleges uu-
blushingly say to innocent rustics, that
they will be aided in obtaining situa-
tions, after having completed theiI
course of study. And so from all parts
of the country, these deluded young
men pour into the great city, with the
vain hope that by some chance fortune
may favor them and a way be opened
by which they shall escape life OF
what they deem to be degrading labor
Chicago to-day is full of these educated
young men. They lounge listlessly

Association they go hungry; many
fall into evil ways; but the rank anC
file of the great army are at length
driven into the open country, that eter
nally stretches out its arms for tn,

man would live he must labor.
Of the superficial training received b.
young men in these establishments, W,
have nothing to say; nor is it necessar,
to attempt TO prove the fallacy of OBJ
tanning business education under sucl
conditions.
