Learning a Trade,

Referring to the inaug uration Of a
class in the science of plumbing, un-
der the auspices of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, in this city, CORES
pondent of the Philadelphia Record
says: SIf this will diminish the num-
Der Of young men whose highest am
bition seems to be to stand behind the
counter and wear good clothes, it will
be a public benefaction. There is a
great deal Of money in trades and
very little in counter Jumping, and
yet only one young man in hun
dred is willing to blacken his hands
with tools. It is not always the boys
fault, however. A gentleman of my
acquaintance, who is broker in Ex-
change Place, said to me recently: L
ought to have been a machinist; |
would have been rich by this time.
When IGwas boy [ wanted to go into
matters explained, and then the farmer
afraid it would soil my hands. He
wanted me to be a gentleman. The
result is that [ have never liked my
business, and never made more than a
living at it. Had he let me go in as
an apprentice in the machinist trade,
[ would have been building engines
and coming money by this time, and
my whole heart would have been in
it The fathers of to-day in New
York are the same. They would al
most as soon bury their sons as make
them apprentices. The result is a
race Of mediocre clerks and book
keepers, who find their intellectual
level in the flash newspapers of the
day."

[Pr1nters' Circular.1
An Editors Pleasant Life.

/
There are but very few people who
are aware of the pleasant life news
paper man leads. His pathway is
strewn with the brightest of flowers,
and upon downy couch he reposes.
His daily life is one continued round
Of unalloyed happiness. This is why
so many young men aspire to become
editors.
There is no end to the fun there is
in the business, as will be learned
from reading the following of an
Eastern Edito-, whose style of writing
was calculated, to arouse people to
deeds of gore. Being himself not
much on his muscle, he found it nee
essary to keep fighting editor, and
he had a speaking-tube connected
with the peeler's room, to call him
when danger required.
One day gentleman, whom the
editor had referred to as ''cross-eyed
dromedary," came in to request cor
rection, and as the fighting editor was
out, he didn't respond to the signal of
distress; and, while the editor and his
visitor were on the floor under his
desk, the former agreed to correct his
mistake, and the irate man left.
Pretty soon gentleman from the
rural districts came in to give the
editor big squash and get a notice,
and about the time the fighting editor
returned, and boy in his room told
him that the boss wanted help. The
man of war was quick to respond; and
dashing into his chiefs room, and
seeing the latter in somewhat dis
ordered condition, the result Of his
previous visitor, he thought the coun-
tryman was the cause of it and
clinched him; and, after staving up
some furniture, ran the victim across
the street to where an empty hearse
was standing in front Of an under
takers shop. Into the vehicle he
iammed the farmer and shut the door,
The commotion he had created scared
the horses attached to the hearse, and
they started off on a dead run Peo-
pie soon noticed the runaway and ran
after it; and were shocked at behold
ing the hearse collide with post and
become a complete wreck, and their
horror at seeing a human body pre-
cipitated to the sidewalk was only
equalled by their amazement at seeing
it spring nimbly to its feet and take
off across the country, yelling ''Mur-
der" They thought 1t an attempt
to bury man alive, and part of them
went and got the undertaken to lynch
him, while the rest pursued the
farmer, who was found hiding in q
swamp. And after he was brought
in it took over three hours to get

A RECENT issue of Harper'S Weekly
contains an excellent, and probably very
just. statement Of the positions of the
two great parties on tariff questions. 1t
is as follows
If the Republican party is to be relieved
of power at the next election, it is but fair
to assume that the result will be accom-
pushed only by party united enthusiast
cally upon great public policy. A party
OF divided and conflicting counsels upon
such policy could not hope for success,
because the prominence Of the question
would compel the opposing party to disre-
gard minor differences and combine for
party success, 1t is obvious that the cues
ton upon which many ardent Democrats
wish the election to turn is protection; but
1t IS even more evident that upon the ques-
ton of protection the party is at fatal odds.
rms Is not surprising, for the recent tariff
debate IN Congress showed that many lead
ing Democrats hestated, and declined to
Withdraw the interests of their own i'm
mediate constituents from the protective
care of tariff. Mr.. Beck of Kentucky and
the Louisville Courier-Jo Journal are strenu-
Gus for policy which would certainly in
sure the loss of Pennsylvania to the Demo-
cratic candidate. and upon which there is
no evidence or probability that he could
carry New York. 1t is because the views
they advocate are generally SUI posed to
Toe free-trade views, and for free trade the
country Is not ready. This is frankly con-
coded by other Democratic journals, which
declare that for free trade. in the broad
and absolute sense of destruction of GUS
tom-houses and the total abrogation of
duties, there Is no party of any importance
whatever. They insist that the practical
significance of the phrase free trade" is
simply revenue tariff. and that this is the
true antthesis of protection. But this in
ieilfetallon would not necessarily serve
the needs of the party, because to the
democracy of the Pennsylvania or Randall
school-and it is a very large one-no an
tithesis of protection is welcome, Democrats
OF that school praise Jeffersonian principles
with great feryor, and denonnce Repnbli-
can rascality with JUNCTION, but they want
protection; and clearly defined issue for
or against a strictly revenue tariff would
send them into opposition. Indeed, the
whole situation reveals the difficulty. if not
impossibility. of seeking Democratic sue
cess upon such an issue. Neither the
great Democratic manufacturers nor the
multitude of Democratic workmen desire

venue Is one of the most difficult of public
questions for general popular apprehension
All the easy, obvious. al cdptaaddm arglI-
ments which are most effective upon the

Mrs. Meaker Hanged.

Mrs. Emelinc Mealicr, who was hang
ed at the State prison, Windsor. on Fri
day last. maintained her innocence to the
last. She slept soundly the night before
and ate IA hearty breakfast and dinner on
Friday. The day previous she had gone
upon the scaliold and inspected the ar
engagements. On Friday, at Is D. M.
Sheriff Amsden and deputies proceeded
to Mrs. Meallers cell to bind her and in
few moments the death procession ap-
pearcd, two deputies walking beside
Mrs. Meaker, having hold of her arms.
but not sustaining her. She stepped
promptly up the s3afl'old stairs and took
a seat on the gallows with calm self
possession. Prayer being offered, Sheriff
Amsden held up Il written slip in his
hand for the condemned woman to read
1t asked her if she had anything to say
why the sentence of death should not be
executed upon her. Gazing as if dazed
for a few seconds, she exclaimed in q
broken voice. "If you want to murder
me, go on; but | am an innocent woman
The fatal moose was then adjusted about
her neck and the black cap drawn over
her head. The drop was then sprung
and in few nts life was extinct
The crime for which Mrs. Mealer was
hanged was one of peculiar fiendishness.
The little girl who was the victim was
homeless orphan of 10 or II years, who
had been sent to live with the family
Mrs. Mcaker conceived violent dislike
for her, and determined to be rid of her.
TO accomplish this she procured a por-
ton of strychninc and took the child,
with her son, Almon, weak-minded
youth of II, on a long drive one summer
evening. On the way she mixed the
strychnine with sweetened water, caused
the little girl to drink it, and then de-
liberately held her in the carriage while
she died in commissions. AS soon as
death came the body was placed in a
swanip-hole under log. On the trial,
both mother and son were found guilty
of murder and condemned to be hung,
but the Legislature of 1882 commu6ed
Almon's sentence to imprisonment for
life. For months after her conviction
and Judgment in Windsor prison for
safe-keeping, Mrs. Meaker kept up a
pretense of violent insanity. but of late
she is said to have dropped these tactics.
Her disposition was such that neither
her husband nor daughter could be per-
suadcd to visit her. For some time she
has been entirely deaf. She is vle first
woman whe has suffered the extreme
penalty of the law in Vermont.
