The mechanic ought also to study the
clements that are subject to physical laws.
This branch of knowledge is called chem
istry. 1t involves the study of the prop
critics and uses of all ponderable matter.
What are called elementary substances
constitute the stock in trade of all the arts
and sciences, and it is as necessary for the
mechanic to understand them as it is for
the merchant to be familiar with the goods
he sells


The mechanic must study mathematics.
This branch of knowledge is the language
and the key to all other sciences, and it is
indispensable to success everywhere.


A knowledge of political economy and
of the laws of trade is also necessary.
The mechanic ought tc understand the
relation of labor to capital and the laws
of commerce. With a knowledge of these

the lord of creation, and every rank and

welcomed, for his presence increases the
wealth and power of the land.


1t is the fashion at the present time to
exalt labor, and yet it is not often that the
so called man of education takes to trlde.
The old prejudices against labor still OBJ

merce, or what are called the learned pro-
fessions. This is a great mistake, and can


be in a measure remedied by giving to the
mechanic higher education.


In a play called "The Carpenter of


Rouen," the dignity and importance of
the mechanic is thus aptly illustrated:
"The mechanic is Gods nobleman.
What have mechanics not dones Have
they not opened the secret chambers of


the mighty deep and extracted its treas
ures, and made the raging pillows their
highway, on which they ride as on tame
steed? Are not the elements of fire and

mechanics bidding, compelled to turn. it !?
Have not mechanics opened the bowels of
the earth, and made the products con-

| From the San Joaquin Republican.
When sleigh riding with girls it is


an old custom to collect toll in the


shape of one kiss, and as many
| more as you can snatch while cross
ing the bridge. Young men who


remember the custom have fallen


into the habit of enforcing it on


railroad cars at the moment when


the train is passing through dark


tunnel. 1t is very pleasant, as our


experimental knowledge enables us


to testify, and you know how it is
yourself. Here's all account of one


Of things which, though sweet,
turned out rather sanSuinary to one


of those the parties. People who have


travelled over the Central Pacific


Railroad between this city and Sac


ramento do not need to.be told that


there is covered bridge over the


Mokelumne river, and that as the
train passes through those in the
cars find themselves in a mellow
evening cleaning, very provocative
of kissing, provided one should
chance to find himself beside some
thing pretty enough to kiss. Here
again We must remark: "You know
how it is yourself" Well, on the
excursion train from this city to Nc
Connell's grove last Saturday there
were a number of very kissable
young ladies, and Oh the return trip
as the train was passing through the
Mokelumne river bridge, young
gentleman betnought him to collect
toll from his fair companion, and he
went for her dewy lips, but the
young lady didn't see it-how could
she IN the dark? in the scutfie
she gave him one on the mob. The
little tap was doubtless more vigor-
ously dealt than she intended. At
any rate as the train plunged again
into glowing day those in the imme-
diate vicinity noticed the claret flow
ing in steady stream from the young
mans nose. Moral-When you at
tempt to kiss girl In tunnel or
bridge always be sure that she is

The PTussian correspondent of the
London Times writes, Nov. 80, of the


bitterness of the feeling against


France:


In Prussia there are many people
and papers advising the government
to accept the surrender of the hostile
capital only if it consents to deliver
up not herself alone, but all France at
at the same time. In other words,
Paris is uOt to be rescued from the
pangs of hunger unless its govern
ment and people ratify the German
terms of peace in advance, and more
particularly approve the eession oft the
of the two coveted provinces. The
severity Ofthis proposal will give you
an idea of the tone OF the public mind
in this country. Arguing on the con-
victiOn that as the French began the
war for vanity's sake, so are they con-
tinuing it because too cOnceited to
give In, although they know they have
no chance of success, the Germans
having been latterly denOuncing the
conduct of their neighbOrs in terms of
increasing hatred and contempt. No
matter haW great the glory achieved
Dy IlclI lIOOpSf tdCl SuCCcoSIFG Ddllle
adds to the irritation against those
who have forced the citizen warriors
of this country to leave their homes,
suspend their industry, and take to
the heroic. The Germans are certain
ly determined to go on beating the
French as long as they will not con-
cede them the terms considered to
contain the only guarantee that peace
will not be broken the day after its
conclusion; but, at the same time,
they are sick of war, and more and
more incensed at the bloodshed want
only inflicted upon themselves no less
upon the discOmfited enemy. 1t is
this resolve to have their own way,
together with the unspeakable wear
mess OccasiOned by ever fresh tele-
grams with lists of killed and wound
ed, that begins to make people COM
paratively Indifferent to the sufferings
of their adversaries, and already dis
plays itself in the idea of starving
Paris into obedience. l believe the
French had better realize the fact that
the enemy they have to deal with is
not likely to be beaten in a game of
endurance, and being more system
attic and cOOl-headed than themselves,

DEFENDING BgIBERY.-The San Francisco
alta, one of the organs of the Radical party
in California, has been engaged recently in ad
vocatDg new code of Radical morality, by
defending bribery" as being correct and
proper. We append an extract from an arti
Gle published short time ago in the 4lta on
that subject:


1.-The wrong principle is that the giving OF
the bribe is the main otfense, whereas the true
principle is that in most cases it is no ofense
morally and should not be regarded as one
legally. If member of the Legislature de
mands pay for his vote on good bill, we con-
slider the payment by citizens interested in the
bill pardoDable. And so payment for a judicial
decision, or for vote is excusable If a club
of hundred villains hold the balance of power
in Ward, and insist on selling their votes,
we see nothing very wrong in giving their
price. Many years ago rumor said that a
certain man was the broker for the Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of this State, that
this broker not unfrequently offered to wealthy
men engaged in important suits that if they
would pay $4,000 or SIC, 900 the decision would
be in their favor, and that if they paid they
got the decision. In such case we could not
find much fault with the litigant who had an
honest case for saving himself by payment


Such sentiments, openly avowed, should
damn the .4ltd for all time to come. A paper,
laying claims to respectablity, that gives utter
ance to such atrocious sentiments should be
repudiated by the community in which it is
published.
