A Wild Traveller of the Skies,

b In the Hacienda Miraflores, in Col
fnaa, recently. between ten and eleven
O'clock in the forenoon, some ladies,
while going to the baths, saw an enor-
nous ;erolite, seemingly cast forth from
the sum-. 1t was enveloped in dark
cloud, drew after it an immense tail,
from which sparks scintilated, and
passed through the heavens With tre-
mendous noise. The same phenomenon,
accompanied with u noise very much
resembling that of an earthquake, was
observed at the same moment in the
haciendas of Manzanilla, in Tecoman,
Ixtlahuacan, Achotan and Coalmay ana,
whilo detonations were healI along the
vast extent of coast from Manzanilla to
ToniIa. In Ixtlahuacan the people went

exeftion, forgetting that very little
money is earned in this country without
hard work, and they think clerk
ship is much preferable to a trade. To
all such misguided youths we commend
the following excellent remarks of
James Parton. the well-known writer:
Compare the mechanics in the
Novelty W orks with the clerks in Stew
art store. The clerks are excellent
fellows; they look well, dress well,
understand their business, and are in
every respect worthy members of soci-
ETY.; but our best mechanics have q GER
tain force of manhood. a weight of
character and a depth of reelection rare
ly seen in those who only buy and sell.
81 should be sorry to say ANYTHING to
disparage our institutions of learning.
Nevertheless, i feel confident that an
intelligent youth, who re1na ins at school
until he Is sixteen or seventeen and
then apprentices himself to a good
trade, can get better education out of
his shop with an hours study of prin-
ciples in the EVENING" than tits possible
to get in any college in existence-that
is to say. better education for tbis new
and forming country. where. for fifty
years at least to come, no man can
hope to play a Leading part except in
welding material forces. ....I
II say, then, lads of sixteen, if you
would lay foundation for. sure pros
perity, begin by learning a trade. If
you would escape the perdition of be-
ing afool, learn trade. If you would
do man 5 part for your country, begin
the work of preparation by learning a
trade" h'T
Some one has said that a man should
never consider himself good civil en-
gineer until he feels competent to un-
dertake the superintendence of every
thing which would professionally fall to
his lot in an undeveloped country, iu-
Guiding the getting Of minerals, the
preparation of materials. and the con-
struction of any works necessary for the
we'll being of the inhabitants. ' D..
1t will not do to rest satisfied with
such a production as that of the coun-
try carpenter who exclaimed when it
was suggested that the table which he
had brought home completed did not
appear to be quite square. .tOh, yes,
it is within three quarters of an inch!"
Nor may We now rest satisfied with
effects such as were produced in the
machine described by Mr.. Boulton, of
the great firm of Beulton 81 Watt, who,
when writing to, his partner, some forty
years ago, said: You will be pleased
to hear that we have perfected bor-
ing apparatus, which works so faccu-
rately that we cannot in any place insert
piece of metal thicker than half a

OyTHEOUTER WALLIS
Is again the proud banner of the d. &
o., aud by another happy stroke OF
enterprise goes TO the front.

The Baltimore and Ohio having perfec-
ted all the details of the elaborate series OF
improvements it has been making of late,
announces a change in its time schedule TO
go into effect on the 22d instant. Under
this new schedule the time between Chica-
go and the East is greatly lessened. The
afternoon fast line which formerly left q
405 now leaves at 5:15, arriving at New
York at GAO the second morning. This Is
a solid train rnnning through to Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York without change of cars of any class
whatever. The B. & 0. is the the only line
offering this great advantage, as by other
lines changes of cars are made except sleep
ers. The great convenience of the entire
train running through without change
must he more apparent - 'ho9e who have
been forced to change cars at unreasonable
hours of the night and in many ways been
put TO no little trouble in getting their
families and baggage from one train to an.
other. There is nothing of this on the b.
& o. for f one so shooses the car that he
takes in Chicago be may remain in until
he reaches New York city. As all the
eastern lines run trains leaving Chicago at
5:15, it is interesting to note that the Is.

Washington whole night in advance of
the 5:15 trains on aompeting roads-or in
other words. those, who leave Chicago fer
Washington via the B. & 0. reach there
the next evening, while by taking other
I lines they would pot reach the National
Capitsl until the, second morning. The

Instantaneous Photography.

What is known as the instantaneous
process is by no means new, and believe
that the most remarkable result, in the
way of taking horses under full trot,
has been brohght to it's greatest per.
lection in California; but it has never
been widely used here until now. l
saw last night some wonderful photo
graphs of men and animals in motion,
which makes painter s work easy The
new plates are made of gelatine,instead
of acollodion- The gelatine covering
makes sofIsensitive a plate that new
methods, of opening and closing the
aperture OF the camera have had to be
devised because the hand is too slow.
A pneumatic rubber bulb is now used
to throw up .andr bring down again a.
disc of black velvet placed over the lens
of the camera. Attached to this bulb
is long tube, which allows the opera
tor to walk about the room when the
sitter least expects i it, TO get. a good
picture in the fraction of a second.
Taking children is the easiest thing in
the world; it is not even necessary for
them to keep STILL Out of doors the
photographers has taken horses trottlng,
ships under sail, with each wave show
ing,as if the water, had frozen at that
particular second. Children at play
make 'capitabpietures; people talking,
laughing, yawning; ina word this new
process does away with the stiff, sun-
natural expression which most people
put on when in front of the camera.
The new pictures look as if the person
represent ed could almost talk. A sculp-
tor whose terra Gotta groups are known
widely, got some pictures of .wrestlers
from which he could work. The ath-
letes came and went to. wrestling with

readers his work is thorough, and gives the best
satisfaction Mr.. O. Pershng who accompanies
Mr. Graham called on several OF our best citizens,
to ascertain their opinions OF such publication in
our comfy. Almost all spoke ffaYorably OF the
piau and hoped the work would be published. MIR
Pershine will remain in the city, and will COM
mence at once gathering facts and compiling the
hook He will be assisted by others, and by a
competent eX perenced historian, who viii collate
the facts gathered and prepare them for publica-
ton The work will be octave in form, and en-
braces a good history OF Ohio, then complete his
tory of the county will be given in chapters, each
township occupying one chapter By such means
every church. school, industry and famil is reaeh-
ed and lts history gathered. it is the expectation
of the publishers TO com bine Fairfield and Perry
counties in The work. This will detract in the
least from the therpHghness of each county history
Tne territory OF either county is hardly large

without charging more for each county, owing to

get a work iust1fyfng its history. This the pub
