Young Man.

There are more young American men
in the penitentiaries IN this country
learning trades than there are outside
Of them. The principal cause for this
is that we are educating our young men
for gentlemen tying to make lawyers.

material that nature intended for black
smiths, briGklayers, carpenters, tallors,
and other honest "hewers of wood and
drawers of waters" It's a mistake, and

One Way TO Get Rich.

Nothing is more easy than to grow
rich. It is only to trust nobody to
befriend none to get all you can, and
save all you can get to stint yourself
and everybody belonging to you to be
the friend of no man, and have no man
for your friend to heap interest upon
interest, cent upon cent to be mean,
miserable and despised for some twenty
or thirty years and riches will come
as sure as disease and disappointment.
Aud when pretty nearly enough wealth
Is collected, by a disregard of all the
charities, of the human heart, and at
the expense Of every enjoyment, death
comes to finish the work the body is
buried in hole, the heirs dance over IT.,

Among the colonial possessions, or
more correctly, dependencies of Hol-
land, there is remarkably little state
which, in its constitution and the ORR
ginal customs of its inhabitants, ,surpas-
ses the boldest dreams of the advocates
of women's rights. In the Island of
Java, between the cities OF Batavia and
Samarange, is the kingdom of Bantam,
which, although, tributary to Holland,
is an independent state, politically with
out Importance, yet happy, rich and
since time immemOrial, governed and
defended by women. The sovereign
is indeed a man, but all the rest of the
government belongs to the fair sex.
The king is entirely depended upon his
State council. composed of three wO-
men. The highest authorities,a all State
officers, court functuaries, military COM
manders and soldiers are, without ex-
ceptatiOn, of the female sex. The men
are agricultursts and merchants. The
body guard of the king Is formed OF the
elite, These amaZOns tide in the mas
culine style, wearing sharp steel points
instead OF spurs. They carry pointed
lance, which they swing very grace
fully, and also musket, VIII ich is dis[
charged at full galop. The throne Is
Unbeatable by the eldest son, and In
case the king dies without issue hun.
dred amazons assemble, in order to
choose successor from among their
sons. The chosen one is then proclaim
ed lawful king. The capital city OF this
little state lies In one of the most plctu.
rescue parts OF the island, IN fruitful
plain, and is defended by two well kept
fOrtresses.

THE following from the Attorney
General to our Hon. Mayor, explains
itself:
LITTLE Rock, Sept. ~, 1877.
Hon. Alex. Goodrich, Mayor, &c. :
Dear sir: In answer TO your questions:
First. A Mayor has jurisdiction over
criminal offences committed within the
corporation as a justice of the peace,
and NAV sit in bis character ola magis-
,ratc, and when doing SO under the
state or genera law, the fines SO i'm
posed go into the county treasury.
Second. When sitting as a police
judge, the assessed fines arising or ac-
cruing for violation of an ordinance
of the city or town, the fine shcrld go
into the corporation treasury. In the
case you mention (o( carrying weapon)
the mayor would sit in the capacity of
a magistrate and the fine would 60 into
the county trearury, unless there is an
ordinance forbidding the wearing of
side arms, sflixing penalty within the
power as such 10 assess, then the fine
would go into the town or city 'reasu-
nv, and the fine would be no bar to an
Indictment, otherwise, however, should
the mayor assume and exercise juris
diction under bis general power as a
iastice. then the fine or conv'ctio by
jury would bar second prosecution
for the same ot'euse.
