THE NOBLE RED MAN.


 The red man of the forest was form'ly a very respectful person. Justice to the noble aboorygine warrants me in sayin' that orrigernerly he was a majestic cuss
 At the time CHRIS. arrove on these shores q allood to CHRIS. CoLUMBUs), the savajis was virtoous and happy. They were innocent of secession. rum, draw poker and sinfulness gin'rally. They didn't discuss the slavery question as . custom. They had no congress, faro banks, delirium tremens or Associated Press Their habits was consequently good. Late suppers, dyspepsy. gas con- panies. thieves, ward politicians, pretty waiter girls, and other metropolitan re- fnements were unknown among them. No savage in good standing would take a coon skin with a barrel of 'em.
 The female Aboorygine never died of consumption, because she didn't tie her waist up in whalebone things; but in loose and fowin' garments she bounded, with naked feet, over hills and plains, like the wild and frisky antelope It was a onlucky moment for us when CHRIS. sot his foot onto these ere shores. It would have been better for us of the present day if the injins had given him a warm meal and sent him home ore the ragin' oilers. For the savages owned the country, and COLUMBUS was a filli- buster. CoRTEz, P1zARRo and WALKER were one horse fillibusters-CoLUMBUs was a four horse team fllibuster, and a large yeller dog under the waggin. l say, in view of the mess we are makin' of things, it would have been better for us if COLUMBUS had staid to home. It would have been better for the show bis miss. The circulation of VANITY FAIR would be larger, and the proprietors would all have boozum pins! Yes, sir, and perhaps a tenpin alley. By which l don't wish to be under stood as intimatin' that the scalpin' wretches who are in the injin bisniss at the present day are of any account, or calculated to make home happy, special ly the Sioxes of Minnesoty, who deserve to be murdered in the first degree, and if POPE will only stay in St. Paul and not go near 'em himseJ, reckon they will be.

Trades and Trade Schools.

If every boy learned a trade thor oughly the market would not be glutted as at present with unslxilled labor, and there would not be so many young men sitting around in offices trying to make themselves generally useful at $5 to $9 week, while they are learning scarcely anything of actual business and are on the road to nowhere in par ticular. This is the situation, and Col. Auchmuty, of the New York trade school, described the remedy in an ex tremely interesting and valuable lecture at the board of trade rooms Wednes- day evening. The apprenticeship sys tenn has passed out of vogue in the United States, and the majority of skilled workmen arc foreign born. A young man nowadays must pick up his trade, at best in a slipshod manner, in such position as he can get. The trade unions are hostile to the training of apprentices; their policy is to cor ner skilled labor.
 The trade school is the solution of the problem. The 2,500 young men who have learned trades in Col. Auchmuty's g school have earned $2. 50 to s per day on leaving, and testify that the school has been the making of them. Plaster CTS have gone right out and earned $4 day. Bright young men master the course in plumbing in three months, in some instances, and find work awaiting them on graduating. The work of the bricklayers who learn the trade there is Tar superior to the average contract work. The old system of training in, luces boy to leave school to find en >loyment in workshop.
 The trade school system encourages linn to remain at school, to go to col iege if he can, and then learn his trade in trade school Thirty-one of the forty-four states of the Union are repre- sented at the New York school. Col. Auchmuty asks what more useful and enduring gift Springfield could receive from the business men than such 6 school. .--Springlel Homestead.

A FRAGMENT.


 In one of the showman's letters he de- scribes visit to his home. His call upon the editor of the local paper is al- luded to as follows:
 After breakfast l went over to town to see my old friends. The editor of the Bugle greeted me cordyully, and showed me the follerin' article he'd just written about the paper on the other side of the street:
 "We have recently put up in our office an entirely new sink, of unique construc- tion-with two holes through which the soiled water may pass to the new bucket underneath. What will the hell hounds of The Advertiser say to this? We shall continue to make improvements us fast as our rapidly increasing business may warrant. Wonder whether certain editors wife thinks she can palm off a brass watch chain on this community for gold one?'
