Trenton.

We paid visit to orr sister city of
Trenton on last Tuesday evening.
Claiborne street did not present its
usual animated appearance, but, this
was accounted for by the unusually
bad roads. We were informed, how
ever, that the latter part of the week
would find business on a "boom," pro-
vided tho weather kept clear suffi-
cient length of time for the roads to i'm
prove. We would inform our Trenton
friends that the TELEGRAPH has an
extensive circulation throughout the
hills, and the parishes west of this.
They could not find better medium
through which to read, and control
that trade. Our COLI MS are open.

Weather and Crops.

TheIs9rst part of the week, though
rather coi&der than one would like
gave promise<~of at least one week O
fair weather and peoples hopes bf1gntt
.ened with the prospect of planters get
ting out the remaining cotton in the
fields, and corresponding increase of
business. Wednesday dawned, how
ever, cloudy, with lowering barome-
ter, and it rained all day, off and on.
Although there will be little over a
third of crop made, SO unfavorable
has been the weather that it will not
be gathered before the year is out.

ing this report. The Lee, Pagan and
Hanna, no dolsst, passed up last
night. The Lee will get about 700
bales cotton and 700 sacks seed at this
point.
Why cannot the agents of steamboats,
in this city sign bills of lading like the
fagents in New Orleans? If, for in
stance, you deliver package or par
eel to the agent here he cannot sign
for it, but takes your bill of lading
book, and has the bill of lading signed
by the boats clerk, and the cost then is
10 to 20 per cent more. If steamboats,
establish agencies, their agents should
be empoweded to sign such bills after
the goods have been delivered to
them.
The Laura Lee arrived from New
Orleans at A a. III. Friday, and the
John III. Hanna one hour later. Both
boats are well matched, and it is inn
possible to tell which is the faster.
Both left on their return tho same day,
the Hanna att, and the Lee at 8, p.
m. Both were due up last night, and
they leave again on their return to-
day. Caricature a few hounds chasing
pack of foxes. and you will have a
tolerably fair idea OF what the steam
boats are doing in this river. The
sslines'' are chasing each other madly,
anu>apparently regardless of conse-
quences.
The negro rousStabouts at New Or
leans are about to be csRught lesson
which they will no doubt E>eed. The
convention of steamboat captSSins
which met at New Q rleans last Friday,
adopted labor tariff. Laborers on
the Ouachita are to receive S45 per
month on the Mississippi, $50; Red
river, S45, and other streams and trib-
utaries in proportion. In the event
these terms are not accepted, boats
failing to get a crew will be laid up un-
til western and northern white laborers
can be secured, for which Col. Moor
man has been requested to confer with
interested parties and ascertain on
what terms these white laborers can
be brough South. These Independent
colored gentry have carried on their
crusade long enought against steam
boats, and have caused not few to
go into the hands of US. Marshals
for debt. The John w. Cannon offer
ed 500 per month, but these colored
roustabouts demanded $3.50, and, the
boat refusing such exorbitant demands,
lost one trip-lying over until last
Saturday.

That nine.tenths of

hard work. That nine-tenths OF
them discover their mistake when it
is too late, does not seem to deter
others from following in their foot
steps. A Massachusetts, manufac-
turing firm is trying to revive the
apprenticeship system. but with
some notifications. The idea is to
make skilled workman, and at the
same time provide something for the
boys upon which they may "start in
life" at the close OF their apprentice
ship; Of course, requiring them TO
earn all they get, as well as pay for
their training. The term Of service
is six years. and the wages range
from 5 cents per hour the irst year
to II cents the last. They are also
credited with cents per hour, to be
paid them ct their discharge. This
provides about S400, which is neat
little sum for the workman to
begin with. The firms rules
governing the number OF hours day
the apprentice must work, the time he
shall 60 to school. etc., are all down
in the bond. Like other apprentice
systems, the trouble with this one
will probably be found in the aban-
donment by the boys, of the trade.
before the term is ended. After lad
gets some knowledge of the trade, he
can usually obtain higher wages than
the master allows him, or, as fire.
quently happens, other employments
are open which for the present return
him more money, but do not add to
his skill. a higher wage for the
time being often induces boy to
abandon trade in which the skillful
and steady workman is sure Of con-
slant employment at fair wages. 1t
is this that makes 80 many "bo!ches"
among pretended mechanics. The
really skilled Workmen are few, as
compared with the number of those
who claim practical knowledge OF
trades; and when ne do find
skilled mechanic, We usually
find g man whose position may well
be envied by those under and around
him. His is the master mind and
master hand, and be commands q
price above that OF his fellows who
have not well and thoroughly learned
their trades. We wish there was a
good apprentice Law for Utah, and
that the youth here could be courted
or coerced into acquiring knowledge
of trades, and becoming as indie.
pendent as they might be by long
terms of apprenticeship.
