Seeking for Gold.

That any could get would he try.

But it neeted as fast az Iran

There's the rainbow Of love, when affections ara

We follow, end ind 1t a thing of the tongue,

There's the rainbow OF fame, with its amarantt

We chase 1t in emulous strife;
We reach where its foot so enticing came down
And fird-we have wasted a life
Hopes ralnbows are ever abroad in the air,
Alluring us fools to pursue
We follow, and follow, and find nothing there
Save sprinkle OF glittering dew.
Earth's rainbows OF PROMISES so fair to the sight,
Are but pictures, at best, OF the mind;
Their CLEANS give at most unsubstantial de-

They fade and leave nothing behind.
Then what OF the rainbow that CLEANS beyond

MISGUIDED EDUCATION.

The evils of the misguiding of education
81 training of youth is seen in the fact that
II is no uncommon thing to find men who
have been graduated at the best colleges
seeking in after life the very crumbs and
scraps of employment, unable to succeed in
art, literature, science, or any class of work
demanding brains and not muscle. These
men are often free from vicious habits and
are entirely willing to work hard, 80 that ii
Is not to willful negligence of their oppor-
tunities that their failure is attributable.
They are simply misplaced atoms of society,
and their education has been the cause OF
their incapacity When a human peg is
tutor or the professor is wasted in trying to
it it into round hole; yet that is what
thousands of parents are constantly doing.
The reason for most of these ill-directed ef-
forts comes from certain social laws To
be a lawyer, doctor, professor, an actor
or a clergyman, confers higher social rank
than to be machinist, an engineer, car.
penter, bricklayer, coppersmith or
plumber; consequently there is a much
greater demand for the former named places
than for the Inter. But in seven cases out
Of ten there is little attempt made to dis
cover what is the natural taste of the young
ster before his training begins. He may
have gift for machinery sufficient to lift
him into eminence in iron and steel work
ing but when set to treading the mill OF
Latin and Greek verbs and struggling with
the career of minister it is not wonderful
that good machinist is spoiled and a
nondescript turned into pulpit. OF
course, he fails there, and, having no train
ing for any other place, he eats the bread
of practical beggary and serves no useful
purpose. In such case the mans life il
wrecked by his faulty education. Attempt
ing career far outside his natural capacity,
training does not secure his success in one
direction, although ii closes all avenues in
another. He can neither fly with the birds
nor run with the mice, and necessarily
spends twilight existence among the bats

WATKINS, Aug. 15.--In the first trial heat
of the professional boat race Wallace
Ross, Plaisted, Griffin, Lee and Courtney
started at 10:46 a. m. in the order named
Ross took the water first and got a fine
lead, Plaisted second, Lee third, Courtney
fourth, Griffin fifth. Courtney drew up to
third very easily, and in fine style of stur-
dy stroke was soon contesting for second
position in mile and a half straight
away heat, but Lee steered toward the
outside and almost across Courtney's s
course, so that at the half mile they had
almost locked oars. Courtney had vir-
tually ceased to exert himself. They
rowed alongside thus for nearly a
mile before Lee would take his
own course. At one time it appeared as
if Lee would get the lead, but if he held it
momentarily it was no longer, for Ross
won in .10:42 by half length; Lee second,
and, Courtney third. The latter was at least
length in the rear of Ross. The crowd
howled in disappointment and it was evil
dent this would shut Courtney out of the
second trial heat and go out of any contest
with Hanlan. It would have looked like a
clear put up job if Courtney had not
claimed second place on account of Lees
approximate foul. 1t is not decided yet
by the referee and judges whether to allow
the foul so far as learned, but proba bly,
will not. Interest in the regatta ceases
here IN that event.
The oarsmen were all in fine trim and
the arrangements were perfect for the 5O,-
600 persons in attendance. The harvest
of the pickpockets of yesterday continues
today richer than ever. The roughs of
the entire state have centered here.
The oarsmen were ordered into position
for the first heat at $50 o'clock for an
amateur race, but were slow in answering
the call. The course is on the west side of
the lake, mile and half straight away,
amateur race were all in
position at 10 o'clock. Griggs, of Hor-
nellsville, was next to shore; Hinton,
of Auburn, second, Hartwell, of Boston,
third and, Gallaghan, of Elmira, outside.
Hartwell led at the start, Hinton second,
Gallaghan next Griggs had fallen several
lengths behind on the first quarter. The
other three men kept close together, Hinton
keeping very close to Hartwell with
Gallaghan third. Galleghan had kept
close to shore and Hinton we'll out. At the
mile Hinton was next to Hartwell, Gala
CHAN rested and then pressed on with re-
newed vigor. Hinton and Hartwell kept
about even.
In the later half of the course Hinton
pulled faster oar by several strokes to a
minute. 1t was a continual squirt between
the two. Hartwell, still close to shore,
spurted on the last end and won with COM
parative ease in eleven minutes and thirty
seconks by about one length ahead of Gal
laghan second.

to the public for so far forgetting him

to Mrs. Emma E. West, and $1,000 to Miss

New YORK, Aug. Is, 1:I5 D. m.-The
failure of E. G. Stedman & Co. has Just
been announced. The firm has made an
assignment to j. G. McGlnnis, Jr. Liabil-

customers. The failure is due to a dis
honest clerk, who took securities and hy.
pothecated them for his own speculation

The Evening Post says: The general
sentiment is one of confidence that there
has been liquidation which will do no harm
and that while the market may be fe-

the general tendency of prices will be
steadily upward for all stocks represent
ing anything of Intrinsic value. Discours-
ing upon the furry of the past few days
and the stories of short sales being made
for large capitalists, the financial writer
OF the Post says: This class, people with
out capital, have given out the i'm preston
they were operating only as brokers for
capitalists behind them, when in fact,
they have merely taken advantage of the
general distrustful feeling in business
generally to increase alarm by these
stories. Instances can be pointed out of
men of this class on the board who now
boast they were instrumental in producing
the break in the market yesterday, AID
now admit they had no backing. It is
of course not to be denied many substan-
tlal houses have taken their cue from this
class of bears. and have put out large
short lines of stocks. It is even reported
some have used long stock, held for their
customers, to deliver on short sales and
for quick turn, and have by this means
further depressed the market. It would, of
course, be impossible to prove such asser-
tions, but the fact that they are made is
only another item in proving that the pre-
ponderance of public opinion on the sire ct
Is that the furry of the last three or four
days has been largely artificial and
brought about mainly by lying. OF course
this is not intended to prove that the nat
ural tendency of prices of securities would
otherwise have been upward. Capital has
been distrustful. and is so yet, and the
natural tendency of prices of everything
would have been rather downward, at least
for short time, but the furry of the last
few days was inaugurated by artificial
means, and has probably caused greater
depression than if warranted by the stu
alton for the present.

A Paper Steamboat.

A firm in Lansingburg, N. Y, has nearly
finished "a paper steamboat" for Pitts
burg company, of which the Troy Times
gives the following particulars: The craft
is in the form of a steam-launch, and is
built for the Westinghouse Machine COM
pany of Pittsburg, Pa. Its dimensions
are as follows: Length of keel, twenty feet;
breadth of beam, five feet; depth of hold,
three feet; length over all, twenty -four feet;
draft of screw, twenty -four inches; length
of shaft, eight feet; weight without mach
inery, 1000 pounds; seating capacity, twen-
ty-fve persons; carrying capacity three
tons.
The craft was built in two sections and
jointed on the keel. The sheathing, solid
body of paper, is three-eighths of an inch
IN thickness, or quarter of an inch
thicker than that used in building racing
or other boats. A bullet from Smith &
Wesson revolver fired at the sheathing
from distance of four feet neither pene-
trated 1T nor made an abrasion on its sur
face. Experiments have shown that it is
Impossible to soak or soften the hull or in
crease its weight by contact with water.
To prove this assertion paper vessel of a
thickness corresponding with the hull of

outside protection, and placed in the
water last October. There the vessel has
remained eight months, and at present
shows no signs of moisture on the inside
nor evidence of d1sintegration in any form.
The motive power of the new craft is
Westinghouse engine of about six horse
power, capable of making 1000 revolutions
minute, and guaranteed to give high
rate of speed. The engine and machinery
will be placed in the boat at an early day,
when trial trip will be made. The firm
are confident the present venture will open
up vast industry and revolntionize the
construction of hulls of many styles of YES
sells now built of wood. Lifs-boats, steam
launches for ships, captains gigs, and
whale boats can be constructed by this pro-
cess, they claim, of greater durability and
less weight than at present.
