In General Sheridans annual report on
the condition of the army, just made to
the Secretary of War, are several sugges-
lions of an important character Among
these are the retirement of officers not
actually in service, the systematization
of the National Guard, and the abandon
ment of frontier posts that are no longer
needed. He is especially emphatic on
the point of better sea-coast defences.
He recommends the early beginning of Il
general system Of sea-coast Notifications
to be constructed in accordance with the
latest improvements in heavy artillery.

a Hint for BOYS.

It is not necessary that boy who
learns trade should follow it all his
life. Governor Palmer, OF Illinois. was
a country blacksmith once, and began
his political career in Macoupin County,
A Circuit Judge in tie centralApart of
Illinois was tailor Thomas Hoyne,
a rich and eminent lawyer o. Illinois,
was once book5inder. Erastus Corn
ing. of New York, too lame to do hard
labor, commenced as a shop hoy in AL
bany. When he applied for employ
ment first he was asked: why, my
little boy, what can You do?' ''Can do
what am bid. !" was the answer, which
secured him the place. Senator Will
son, of Massachusetts. was a shoe
maker; Thurlow Weed, a canal boat
driver; Ex-Governor Stone, of Iowa, q
cabinet maker, which trade the late
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas also worked
at in his youth. Large mum bers of men
of prominence now living have risen
from humble life, by dint Of industry,
without which talent is as goldicoin
on barren island. Work alone makes
men bright. and it does not alone de-
pend upon the kind of work you have
whether you rise or not; it depends on
how you do it. --NeaDsboy's appeal.

Mechanics in Education.

Seeing and feeling are two senses
which are more important in aiding to
a knowledge OF our surroundings than
any hers. and yet their education is
generally neglected until the possessor
begins to learn something of mechan-
les. By mechanics in this connection is
intended any attempt to contrive, put
together, manufacture or change by
manipulation, so that woman who
contrives and fashions dress out of
the uniformed and plain material may
be mechanic. The use of mechanical
tools cannot be begun too early in life,
whether the pupil is 10 be a practical
mechanic or to follow some other call

their Hndisputed position as. inventors
and good mechanics to the habit of US

inventor and superior mechanic recent
" remark ed that the best of his taste
as mechanic was undoubtedly given
by his hoolmastar, who was a
carpenter and oner, and who worked
at his trade in summer and taught the
district school in winter. If boy did
not possess 4 foot rule. he made one for
him from a shingle. or constructed an
inch scale. The loot rule and pocket
knife he considered necessary to
sctfool-boy's outfit, and he encouraged
his pupils to estimate dimensions by
the eye and then verify them by meas
urement. Wind wheels and water
mills were parts of the pedagogue's
training. and the click-claek of the one
or the other could be heard all about
the school house and on the borders of
the brook in an ad olning field. Vanes
cut from pine boards, toy ships. bird
houses, bows and arrows, pudding
sticks, and most of the toys used by
boys forty years ago We're made by
the schoolmaster's boys under his
direction. To day. besides the prolific
inventor named, there are one superin-
tendent of railroad company, one
bridge builder, one Superintendent of
large manufactory, and two archi-
tects to be counted from memory who

CRIME AMONG CRIMINALS.
A Bogus Cigar Factory Unearthed in
the Penitentiary.

Some time ago the United States off,
cials in this city learned that there ex-
listed in the Territorial prison at Yuma q
cigar factory where cigars were made
aud sent out without the necessary reve-
nue. stamps upon them. They went to
work quietly on the clue they had re-
ceived, and learned that the cigars were
made by the convicts and by some one
who was standing in on the divvy,"
stored under the bed in tho cell of May
Woodman, convict sent from Tomb
stone for the murder of gambler, and
the only female convict in the institution,
When these facts became known,
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Ellis. of this city, was provided with let.
ters to the prison authorize, asking per-
mission for him to see May Woodman.
He was instructed on being granted that
permission, to Immediately on entering
the cell, look under the bed. With these
instructions and letters Mr.. Ellis went
to Yuma Friday night, and on Saturday
visited the penitentiary. Ga being ad-
mitted to the cell of the dashing female
convict he Immediately looked under the
bed and drew forth six thousand and
nine hundred unstamped cigars, which
had been made in the penitentiary by
the convicts. His power extended no
further than the seizure of the goods, ami
this he did in the name of the United
States, and brought them to this city,
arriving home on Sunday morning.
This is without parallel in the history
Of the territory and one that has ludic-
rous as well as serious side. The idea
of carrying on an Illicit cigar factory in
territorial prison is something entirely
new and not entirely without ludicrous
features. The officials state that the
matter will be investigated at once and
the whole thing sifted to the bottom. 1t
may be that subsequent disclosures will
result disastrously to some of Governor
Trittle's appointments, but in this great
country the guilty must be punished and
the innocent exoperated.-Tucson, Ari-
zona, Star.

How Rocks Are Made.

The Carson Appeal tells the following
story, well authenticated, how quartz
is now growing ia the mines at Virginia
City:
The quartz in question VAS taken ont
of the Yellow Jacket mine from between
the timbers. The timbers wsre put in
thirteen years ago, and the material
forming the quartz had apparently oozed
through crack and adhered to the
timber. 1t was about the size and had
the appearance of caulihower. There
was . mass rather soft and crumbling
to the touch, and in places
woven together like threads, and
in this mass, and part Of
it, were three distinct and perfectly form.
ed quartz crystals. The mass had been
pushed through the crack while in plas.
tic state, and then formed in the bunch de-
scribed. The specimen in the possession
Of Mr.. Havenor shows where il ad.

piece of sandstone taken from the creek
at Stevens mill, near Dayton. The mill
was built twelve years ago, and por-

the ground at that time il solidly imbed.
