time to take them abroad. The latest
perfect example in their kind Is "A
Black Sheep" still current at Mr..
Hoyt's Madison Square theater. where
1t has been holding forth uproariously
for some months past. The dominant
character in this piece is Hot Stuff (Mr.
Otis Harlan), the sportive "black sheep"
OF nice New York family, who wins
his sobriquet by an Arizona episode in
the first act. The rest Of the play is
in the contrasted environment OF New
York City, where Hot Stuff assumes

has been exceptionally fortunate in his
choice of an interpreter for this role.

shrined there in secrecy, the sweet face
OF Agnes Trenholme. Just as he had last
seen IT, when she lay senseless in the
arms Of DR.. Hudson, at the foot OF the

A thrill Of exquisite pleasure swept over
him, as he thought, if she had not loved

LINCOLN and General Pickett.

A Richmond friend of Mrs. General
Pickett recently wrote to her making
an inquiry as to how her husband re-
ceived his cadetship appointment.
She answered that General Pickett
was appointed by Congressman John
g. Stuart of the third Illinois dis
trict, and she explained that Mr..
Lincoln induced Stuart to make the
appointment. Mr.. Lincoln was then
associated in the practice of law with
young Pickett's uncle, Andrew John
ston, who was later of the firm of
Johnston, Boulware & Williams of
Richmond. Mr.. Johnston, who has
been dead a number of years, was
great and good man and was highly
esteemed by the President, who, it is
said, desired him to become Governor
of this State, to guide it in its return
to the Union. Alter giving her friend
the information sought, Mrs. Pickett
goes on to say

Manual Training.

We clip the following from the cad
vance," a paper published in the in
terest of the Jamesburg, N. j., Re-
form School. Mr.. Wilmer Hill,
spoken of here, is a former resident
of Johnson
No mistake was made by our au-
thorities when they established the
Slyod school of Misunderstanding in
this institution. 1t is now the "show
department" here, and all who look
therein are amply rewarded for the
time spent in so doing. There may
be seen sixteen little fellows, from
twelve to sixteen years of age,
earnestly at work with the tools of
the cabinet-maker and carpenter,
and producing from plans drawn on
the trestle-boards many articles of
beauty and usefulness, showing won
derful skill-in fact, a skill never
dreamed of by those who had not
seen work of the same kind in other
places-some work equal TO that
turned out in regular shops. The
real positive enjoyment of these
young mechanics while at work is
blessed sight to see. Here no laziness
is witnessed, no Sinking observed,
no sighting of work in construction
or finish, no mischief brewing, but all
engaging in the work in hand with
enthusiasm, as if their very existence
depended upon their doing their very
best. 1t is plain to be seen that
these boys feel that they are learning
something that will be OF use to them
hereafter, teaching them the use of
tools, the employment of their eyes
and hands in a correct and skillful
manner, and filling their minds with
ambitions and hopes for the future,
which are the portals of respectable
ity and usefulness in the outer world.
Such instructive employment gives a
boy to understand that he need not
be a loafer and a pauper and a mis-
creant, but that he can be worth
something to himself and to others;
and this being the case he will, nine
times out OF ten, make earnest en-
beavers III UllS ulreCUlOn When lie
leaves this School behind him, and en-
tiers into the real life battle. Can any
one doubt that this is not good
work, work calculated to straight
en- out the curves, wrinkles and
crookedness that may have existed
or still remains in the characters of
these boys? For these reasons we
have frequently advocated in these
columns the employment in this and
other schools of like nature of boys
in trades and occupations that will
be agreeable and at the same time
useful and profitable to them here
misconceptions that they can
realize while learning them that such
will be the case.
In the Slyod School here there are
five classes of sixteen boys each, who
take their turns one after the other,
working two hours and a quarter at
a time. They are under the instruc-
ton of Mr.. Wilmer W. Hill, who had
considerable experience in this line OF
work in other schools, and who seems
to be just the man for the place.

An Editors DUTY,

We apologize for mistakes made in
all former issues and say they were
inexcusable, as all an editor has to

and pen short items, and fold papers,
and write wrappers, and make paste,
and mail papers, and talk to visitors,
and Distribute type, and saw wood,
and read proofs, and correct mis-
takes, and hunt the shears to write
editorials, and dodge the bills, and
dun the dilinquents, and take cuss-
ing from the whole force, and tell our
subscribers that we need money. We
say that we've no business to make
mistakes while attending to these lit
tie matters, and getting our living

LEGATION by Professors Conrad and
Lexes, two leading German authori-
ties. They find that in five years the
visible supply of gold has increased
$75, 100000, and the conclusion is,
there is enough to meet the needs of
the whole world, "even if all nations
adopted the gold standard" In
1886 the gold output of the world
was placed at $107,000,000. In
1895 it rose to $205,O00,000. The
increase has been steady, and the
prospect is for a further gain this
year. If the increase is maintained
for period of years, "the struggle
for gold' will reach it's end.

1t is the aim and object of every
honest and self respecting newspaper
to be as nearly accurate as possible
in the presentation of news to it's
readers. and to give them, as nearly
as may be, a correct summary of the
worlds state of affairs day by day.
The limitation of comparative exact
ness will be understood and appre-
ciated, it is to be hoped, for literary
accuracy and exactitude are, in a
newspaper office, only an iridescent
dream. The San Francisco Call de-
clares that the obstacles in the way
of perfection are too great to be over
come, so every newspaper must be
content with the nearest possible ap-
proach to certainty.
Every day somebody, and often the
somebody who ought to know better,
says: "You can't believe anything
the newspapers say" The assertion
involves a double fallacy, the first
branch of which is that the state
ment is wholly unsupported by evil
dence, and the second is that the
speaker himself, if he will but stop
and think moment, will be con-
WINGED of the folly of his utterance.
He speaks, as most of us do, without
thinking.
1t is quite true that mistakes are
made, especially in the spelling of
names of persons and places, and Of
ten in dates as well, and that there is
always somebody ready to pounce on
any inaccuracy in details and to in
sist that Smith should be spelled
Smythe, or that some baby prince or
princess died in July instead of Au-
gust; but what of it? If such hyper
critical critics only knew the difficult
les that encompass telegraphic trans
mission, the rush and scurry of the
telegraph editor, and the reverend
ing struggle of the proof reader, he
would wonder, not that Smythe
should be spelled Smith, but why it
should not appear 10 print as Brown
or Jones, and why the capitol of Her
zegOvina should not be located in
Madagascar or Patagonia.
To this should be added the all-im-
portant fact with which newspaper
men are only too familiar, that in
attempting to secure an exact ac-
count of some particular incident the
reporter is confronted with, maybe,
half a dozen stories, each of which is
told in perfect honesty and sincerity,
but all differing in detail, depending
upon the point of view of the nara
tor.-Newspaperdom.
