Bill Arp talks of Boys and Trade

Atlanta Constitution.
] believe in these schools where
boys can learn trades. Peter the
Great quit his throne and went off
to learn how to build ship, and he
learned from stem to stern, from
hull to mast, and that was the be-
ginning of his greatness. | know a
young man who was poor and smart
and a friend sent him to one of
these schools up North and he stay
ed two years and came back as a
mining engineer and a bridge build
er and last year he planned and
built cotton factory and is getting
large salary. How many college
boys are there in Georgia who can
tell what kind of native timber Will
bear the heaviest burdens or why
you take white oak for one part of
a wagon and ash for another or
what lumber will last longer under
water and what out of water. How
many know sandstone from lime
stone or iron from maganeese. How
many know how to cut rafter or a
brace without pattern. How many
know which turns the fastest, the
top of the wheel or the bottom as
the wagon moves along the ground.
How many know how steel is made
and how a snake can climb a tree.
How many know that a horse gets
up before and a COW gets up behind
and the COW eats grass from her and
the horse eats to him. How many
know that a surveyors mark upon a
tree never gets any higher from the
ground, OF what tree bears fruit
without bloom.
There is power of comfort in
knowledge, but boy is not going
to get it unless he wants it bad, and
that is the trouble with most college
boys, they don't want it. They are
too busy and haven't got time. There
is more hope of dull boy who
wants knowledge, than of genius,
for genius generally knows it all
without study. These close observ-
ers are the worlds benefactors.

YAPLE's ELOQUENT SPEECH.
How the House Unanimously Ad.
journed.

How the House Unanimously Adj
journed.
Yaple is the odd name of the young
Democrat, says Washington special
to the Philadelphia Record, who de
feated the bowling Julius Caesar
Burrows, of Michigan, for re-elec-
ton to Congress last year. He is a
modest, smooth-faced farmer-lawyer
of 35, who has very little to say in
conversation, and who says what he
has to say in debate very well. He
distinguished himself on Wednes-
day night by making a speech on
the tariff, which is said to be the
best speech of the session. He
spoke without notes, freely and
forcibly, in favor of revenue reform,
and scored home run. A man de-
serves great praise who makes a
good speech at one of these night
sessions "for eloquence only" It is
extremely discouraging to have to
speak in the staring face of deserted
chairs. Sometimes there are not q
dozen men in the hall at any time
during the evening. Last winter
ten men assembled one disagreeable
night ''for debate" Each had a
short speech. They were all "recog-
nized" in order by the Speakes pro
tem.-the real Speaker does not at
tend these dreary sessions-and all
their speeches were delivered. One
by one, as they finished speaking,
they took their hats and umbrellas
and left for home. Finally ''the
House" narrowed down to the man
who was speaking-the last on the
list-and the Speaker pro TEN.
When the man who was speaking
got through he picked up his hat
and his umbrella and started for the
door, forgetful of the Speaker,
"Come back, come back" said the
agonized Speaker; somebody must
move to adjourn. q beg your
PARDON" said the absent-minded
member; 'Mr Speaker, l move that
the House do now adjourned" "In
the absence of objection" said the
Speaker, sit isaso ordered" Then
they went down in the same cab,
and the electrician turned out the
gas.

NEW YORK. 1884

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out OF our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end ali the col
umnS OF all THE SUN printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount COperniCuS in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-Quar-
ters of the way back to the moon again.
But The SUN is written for the inhabitants
Of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would glrdle the globe twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over it.
and Il his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has af-
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea Of the circulation of the
most popular OF American newspapers, or of
Its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE sun is, and will continue to be, news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
consequences which gets at the facts mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape which
is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be-
HeVes that the Republican party must go, and
must go IN this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know The sun, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
/ interesting year in its history. If you do not
know THE Sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.
