American Youth Not Thorough.

A bureau drawer may seem to be simple
mechanical" thing to make. In many
cases it is, though there is room for art in
even the simplest bureau drawer But in
late years great demand for fine and beau
tiful furniture has arisen, and richly carved
and Ornamented articles have been manu-
featured in this country.
One of the firms engaged in this manu-
facture in an eastern city had need, a year
or two ago, of number of "escutcheons."
or metal plates, used in covering keyholes
for bureau drawers. There was demand
for new things of this sort. The new
things" might well enough have been old
escutcheons pretty closely copied; but it
was necessary to draw them and adapt
them to the new use, and no one could be
found in this country who was capable of
doing that work. The decorations of these
drawers were provided from abroad and at
great cost.
The manufacturers of all kinds of brass
and other metal ornaments to be used on
wood have had the utmost difficulty in OBJ
tanning good designs for this kind of work,
and artists in almost every case have had
to be brought from Europe.
! asked manufacturer of certain arti-
Giles of this kind, Have you ever attempted
to train American youths to design these
things?" Yes" he answered, but they
would not study enough"
This answer had become an old story to
me-
1t is not to be supposed that people so
ingenious sagacious and Industrious as
the Americans will continue so impatient
to earn money that they will not take the
steps necessary to earn it most surely and
easily. There are signs already that Amer
lean boys and girls are coming to realize
how excellent an opening for their en-
deavors there is on the artistic side of our
growing industries-J. Z. Chamberlin in

SOUL TO BODY.

So we must lart, my body, you and /,
Who've spent so many pleasant years to-
gether;
'Tis sorry work to lose your company,
Who Glove to me 80 close. whate'er the
weather,
From winter unto winter, wet or dry;
But you have reached the limit Of your tether,
And l must journey on my way alone
And leave you quietly beneath a stone.
They say that you are altogether bad
iForgive me, it's not my experienced,
And think me very wicked TO be sad
At leaving you, a clod, a prison, whence
To get quite free should be very glad.
Perhaps may be so a few days hence;
But now, methinks, 'twere graceless not to
spend
A tear or two on my departing friend.
Now our long partnership is near completed,
And look back upon its history;
greatly fear have not always treated
You with the honesty you showed to me,
And must own that you have oft defeated
Unworthy schemes by your sincerity,
And by blush, or stammering tongue, have
tried
To make me think again before lied.
It's true you're not so handsome as you were,
But that's not your fault and is partly mine.
You might have lasted longer with more care,
And still looked something like your first
design.
And even now, with all your wear and tear,
IT'S piIiful to think must resign
You to the friendless grave, the patient prey
OF all the hungry legions of decay.
But you must stay, dear body, and 90,
And was once so very proud of you;
You made my mothers eyes to overflow
When first she saw you, wonderful and new;
And now, with all your faults, 'twere hard to
find
A slave more willing or friend more true.
All, even they who say the worst about you
Can scarcely tell what shall do without you.

A Feat in Engineering.

Is NJ. Eiffel prepared to put an awning
over Trafalgar square when the sun shines
and remove itpromptly without the aid of
central support or steam engines, or even
chains? The arch of the Colosseum is GER
tainly not less. This may seem trifiing
matter to the thoughtless, because they
have never considered it. Roman engineers
covered in that vast eXpanse with some
wooden material, and they worked the
ponderous sheet so easily and smoothly
that it was drawn and withdrawn as the
sky changed. The bulk of it must have
weighed hundreds of tons, all depending
by ropes from the circumference. But the
ancients thought so little of this feat that
they have left us only one trivial &ssoa q

LET IT OPEN.

The Chronicle, which has always tried
to give the plain facts about the exposi-
ton, said a month ago that it would not
be fully opened until the 10Th Instant
State Chronicle.
If that is what is the matter, all well
and good, but the managers should have
said so, long ago. The exhibition, they
keep insisting, is lot yet complete; but
crowds, in small numbers, are going and
coming away disguised. All men in the
south would like to see a great exhibi-
ton, but the schemes which have been
adopted of making nearly everything a
huckster shop will not win.
If the management will turn in and
say when the thing is really opened, and
not deceive strangers in advance, then
The GLOBE will howl for the business.
All agree that it is not ready vet, and
the above confession from the Chroni-
Gle; which is on the ground, should be
evidence complete.

the name of Col. A. B. Andrews, of this
place, is spoken of in connection with
the vacant position of the U. S. railroad
commissioner. Col. Andrews told US
yesterday evening that he was not only
not an applicant but he could not pos
sibly accept the position even if it were
rendered to him. That he is equal to an
efficient discharge of it's high duties there
is no question, but he does not desire the
place and could not take it, if appointed.
