reporter, a gentleman who had acted
as manager for Gen. Tom Thumb,
gave some interesting information
about that little man, of whom he
said: "Although he met a great num-

Once in a while he would see some

"Was he a great reader?"
"Tom Thumb never read book,

"What did he do with himself dur

Learning O Trade.

Referring to the inauguration Of a
class in the science Of plumbing, under
the auspices Of the Metropolitan Mus
cum of Art, in New York, a CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Record
says: IF this will diminish the number
of young men whose highest ambition
seems to be to stand behind the coun-
ter and wear good clothes, it will be
public benefaction. There is a great
deal of money in trades and very little
in counter jumping, and yet only n
young man in a hundred is willing to
blacken his hands with tools. Itisnot
always the boys fault, however. A
gentleman of my acquaintance, who is
a broker in Exchange place, said to
me, recently: I ought to have been a
machinist; l would have been rich by
this time. When | was a boy WANTED
to go into the Allaire works, but my
father was afraid it would soil my
hands. He wanted me to be a gentle
man. The result is that I 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 ma
chinist trade l would have been build
ing 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
/ almost as O O bury their sons as make
them apprentices. The result is g
race of mediocre clerks and boek-keep'
! ers. who find their intellectual level in

A CURIOUS TRADITION.
A welsh Settlement in this Country in
the Year llSO.

. SAO AN@H
In a lecture delivered by Mr.. James
WoodAeof Albany, N. Y, he related
the following curious tradition which
exists among the Welsh:
In ITO, two brothers, David and
Medoc, quarreled for the throne. The
younger, Medoc, becoming Disguised,
gave up the struggle, and fitting out a
ship, sailed west, The next year he
returned, said lie had discovered a
fruitful country, and called upon his
friends to follow him. He had no
difficulty in filling ten ships with men,
women and children. They sailed away,
and, according to Welsh story, were
never heard of again.
This would not be worth much as
history were it not that it seems n
irmed by evidence found upon this
side of the ocean.
In 1910, 500 years after Prince
Medoc left Wales, a Welsh minister
named Morgan was sent from New
York to North Corolina to preach to
some Welsh people who settled there
One day he wandered too far beyond
the outskirts of the settlement and was
captured by Indians. They took him
many miles inland and prepared to
burn him at the stake. The fagots
were piled around him and his doom
seemed sealed. Suddenly he eXclaim-
ed, in Welsh, "Have I come sc far to
die like a dog at last " TO his sur
prise, the Indian chief sprang forward,
loosed his bonds and embraced him,
crying in Welsh, ":No; not if you speak
that language" Henceforth he was
the honored guest of the tribe.
Morgap's surprise deepened when
the principal members of this Indian
tribe gathered around him and began
to converse with him in Welsh. He
preached to them and they understood
him. But what amazed him most was
to discover that they had a manuscript
copy of the Bible in the Welsh Ian
guage.
Morgan relates this story in a letter
sent to friends in Wales. This letter
is well authenticated, but it is the only
evidence that we have in the matter.
So far as we are aware, nothing more
was ever heard of this Indian tribe,
who spoke Welsh and had a Welsh
Bible.
But, fifteen or twenty years later,
an exploring party, returning from
beyond the Mississippi river relate
among other wonders, that they found a
tribe of Indians who speak the Welsh
language. They, too, have a manu-
script copy of the Welsh Bible. None
of them can read it, and they keep it
as a mysterious treasure, carefully
rolled up in the skin of animals.
And, fifteen or twenty years later
still, another exploring party brings us
back strange news from the Red river
of the North. They have found there
a singular people, with whitened hair
and blue eyes. These people speak
the Welsh language.
Lastly, Catlin speaks of a tribe OF
white Indians dwelling along the upper
course of the Missouri. They are diff,
ferent from the tribes around them
Some have fair hair and blue eyes, anc
their language is strangely mixed witt
a great number of Welsh words"

tells with inimitable terseness and
humor a capital story of one George
Moore, an Oxfordshire farmer, who
was a tenant of his brother. Moore
was very thrifty, and when wronged,
unforgiying. On one occasion he sold
to another farmer a hog for six
pounds seventeen %shillings, and when
the purchaser had gone he found that
one Of the shillings was bad. He put
the spurious coin in a piece of paper,
and vowed he would not rest until he
had made the cheat substitute it with
another.
