enrolled in the league, which in six months
would increase to 100000, and that means
the control of the republican party in New

to form a separate political party, nor to
nominate candidates for Office, except in
extreme eases when the republican noml-

BODYBUILDING.

bodybuilding is by no means one of
the ''lost arts" although in this age of
steam and iron, the good old days of
the ship-builderS are a thing of the past.
OF late years, however, there has been a
marked increase in the trade, and al
though the work is confined principally
to yachts and smaller craft, the steady
growth of this branch of boat building
offers excellent inducements to any
young man whose tastes lie in that
direction.
L know of one boy at least, now six
teen years of age, who intends to fit
himself during the next five or six years
for the occupation; and his father,
prominent and highly successful naval
architect, believes that there is a very
promising future for American boat
building.
| take it for granted that the future
boat-bullder has, as boy, been fond of
boats. He has not only taken advant-
age of the rivers and ponds near his
house, has nayigated them in scow, in
row-boat or in sail-boat, but | will sup
pose that, from the time he has been the
owner of jack-knife, he has been a
constructor of toy boats. And. as he
has grown older and become the pos
SCISSOR Of q tool-chest, or, at least, of q
gauge, nallet, saw, plane, and a
good knife, he has wrought out mini
allure cutters and schooners possibly a
square-rigged ship, all of which have
been much admired by his Young COM
panions. If it has been his object in
life to become a boat-builder. he could
not have been better employed during
the hours that have not been taken up
with school duties
In every business and profession there
is some one object above all others
sought after, upon which success may
be said to depend. The orator en-
deavors to arouse our enthusiasm, the
poet appeals to our sentiments, the
lawyer to our reason, the clergyman to
our conscience. The genius of the boat
builder lies in the one word form
The one thing more than all others for
which he aims to have reputation is
the ability to give a good shape to the
mass OF wood or iron coming from his
hands. whether it be a man-of-war or
sail-boat And SO it was good for the
boy that he made boats and models of
boats. He was getting, as the naval
architect would say, form impressed
upon his brain" 1t may have been, it
probably was, a bad form, an incorrect
form, but it was something from which
to start At all events, the boy has
formed speaking acquaintance with
the occupation he is about to enter

ANCIENT CITIES OF HoNDURks.-
While Guatemala boasts more ruined
aboriginal cities, Central Honduras
was once the scene OF a condition OF
civilization. Near the source Of the
winding Chameleon, on the LETT bank
Of the river, are situated the ruins Of
Copan, the capital Of a grcay and pow

pie walls are fallen, but the stones
that compose them are sculptured with
graceful hieroglyphics vastly different
from the uncOuth signs and symbols
that cover the oblisks and temple
walls of the famous ruined cities OF
Egypt. Recent Investigations prove
that the once great Indian capital at
Copan must have been founded thou

to the savants of the day. No roset-

voice declared that he could lick any

his remarks principally to d stout,
stocly little man standing near. The
latter made q sharp rejoiner, which
