The true and the proper use of the military power, besides defending the National honor against foreign Nations, is to 'uphold the laws and civ'll government and to secure to every person residing among us the enjoyment of life, liberty etna property. The right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the piress,'the freedom of speech, the natural rights of property must be prserved. Power may destroy the forms but not the principles of justice. These will live in spite of the sword. The great principles of American liberty still are the lawful inheritance of this people and ever should be. Armed insurrections or forcible resistance to the law will be instantly repressed by arms. Nothing can intimidate mefromdoing what I believe to In honest and right. Arbitrary power has no exception. Apprentice Schools. [Youth’s Companion.] Boys nowadays know what being an apprentice means, although it was formerly the great event of most boys lives. This was the case not merely with those who learned trades. All the vocations and professions had their apprentices. Knights had their pages; ; physicians and lawyers took appren- ■ tices ; and almost everv man who understood a vocation, had some boy with him to whom he was imparting it. Business was then conducted upon a very small scale. A man would be a j roadside blacksmith for fifty years, and I never have any other assistance than that of two or three apprentices, who would come to him at the age of fourteen, serve him until they were twentyone, and then give place toothers. In large towns like Philadelphia and Boston a mechanic who kept two or 1 three journeymen, was thought to be a very thriving person indeed; and as ’ we see from Franklin s bequest to the i city of Boston, a mechanic could set up in business upon two hundred dollars I capital. In those days, going apprentice was an event to which boys looked forward for years. It was like changing parents; for the anprentice used to live in his employer’s family, and was under his government and control. The boy entered into a solemn covenant with him. Here is a part of an indenture of the last century —such a one as young Ben Franklin signed in 1718 “The said apprentice, his master faithfully shall serve, his secrets keep, his lawful commands everywhere gladly do. He shall do no damage to-his said master, nor see it to be done of others,

but to his power shall let (prevent), 6r forthwith give notice to his said master of the same. -The goods of his said master he shall not waste, nor the same without license of him to any give or lend. Hurt to his said master he shall not do, cause, nor procure to be done. He shall neither buy nor sell without his master’s b'ccose. Taverns, inns, or ale houses he shall not hauot. At earns, dice, tables, or any other unlaw ul game, be shall not play. Matrimony he shall not contract; nor from the service of his said master day nor night absent himself. ’ The employer, therefore, was both master and father. The absolute power was frequently abused. The first two years of the boy’s apprenticeship he was in many cases servant of all work. He blacked his master’s boots, fed his pigs, turned the grindstone, drove the cows, as Sir Wallace Scott repotts of Scotland, was liable in some strict families “to spend half his time across his mistress' knee. The hours of labor then were from sunrise to sunset in the summer, and from sunrise to nine o clock in the winter. The wages of an apprentice were about sufficient to buy the material for his clothes ; and if he had sixpence a week over, he*was a lucky boy. Usually. however, he did succeed in learning his trade. His master had time to teach him. and it w r as to his master’s interest that he should become a competent workman as soon as possible. But all this has passed. The steam engine lias changed everything. The master, what is he now ? Where is he? He is a capitalist, a director, a president of a company. He may never see his workmen, if indeed he ever enters his facto’-y. Nor is there any one else to teach apprentices, for each foreman has in charge a large roomful of men and machinery, and can not spare from his exacting and .ceaseless duties, much time for instructing an ignorant boy. . Hence, it b=>s become a matter of ex-1 treme difficulty fur a boy in the United States. England, Germany or France, to become really skillful in any trade. To many boys it is impossible. To meet this difficulty, which is increasing every year, apprentice schools have been established in- Europe, to which boys are regularly bound, as of old, and at which they acquire a trade and an education at the same time. Some large private establishments in France maintain such a school for the express purpose of training the superior workmen whom they need, and must have.

During the first year, the young apprentice spends about half the working day in the shops, and two hours in school. When he is older, and has served three years, he works seven and a half hours in the shops, and three hours in the school-room.

English manufacturers are becoming pwake to the necessity of rearing workmen who can compete with the skilled artisans of France and Germany. We, too. are following slowly in the same course. It has been lately suggested that part of the Luge bequest of Stephen Girard should be expended in founding apprentice schools of this kind, which would carry out the will of the donor mo e effectually than has hitherto been found possible. The trustees have more income than they know what to do with, and in this way their surplus could be advantageously expended. M '3. A. XL Frank, 177 W. Tupper S. ee.j buffalo.

The portraits of four persons are plainly discernible—two men, a woman and a child. The faces are not all on one pane, that of one of the men and the women being on adjoining glasses, the face of the other

man on another, and that of the child on one or the lower panes, and the theory is that the party were all looking through the window during a thunder storm, when a sudden flash of lightning. by some mysterious process, instantaneously fixed their features on the glass. Friends, Romans and countrymen lend me your ears I and we will endeavor to tell you of the merits of a medicine whose praises are to-day sung by thousands. It is Dr. Marshall s Bromoline, the Great blood medicine. If your blood is impure and pimples cover yonr face, take Bromoline. 11 your liver is torpid and refuses to perform its functions, use Bromoline. When the whites of the eyes turn yellow, the skin becomes flabby and dead looking, it is then time to be taking something that will give you the hue of health. That something is Dr. Marshall’s Bromoline, which we tell you has no equal as a curative agrent. Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse. (Sept.) Died <»l a Broken Heart. [New York World.] About a year ago, Ossian Alderish, an employee in the United States Signal Service, while on duty in this city, became acquainted with the family of William Hooper, of No. 148 West Tenth Street. William Hooper who is a prosperous butcher in the Jefferson Market, had a daughter Julia, who is nineteen years old and prettier than it is the general lot of girls to be. Soon after meeting Julia Hooper Alderich s attentions became very marked, much to the annoyance of the girl s parents. All remonstrances were in vain, however. for in April last Aldrich and Julia Hooper were married by the Rev. Robert Kidd. About three weeks after the marriage Aldrich went to Washington and soon after the young wife followed him. Only a month was spent there, when the girl returned to her parents. A few days later, Mrs. William Hooper says, a letter from Aldrich announced that he had been ordered to go on an Arctic expedition. Mrs. Hooper, fearing that all was not right, advised her daughter to go to Y ashington at once, which she did. There, it is said, the girl heard that Aldrich was already married, but this Aldrich stoutly denies. But, at any rate, Aldrich had left Washington, not for the Arctic regions, but for Mobile. The girl followed him to Mobile, not believing in what she had heard in Washington. According to the story subsequently told by the girl, but denied by Aldrich, he treated with great cruelty after she had told him that she had represented herself as his wife in the Signal Office in Washington, and compelled her to swear to a written statement that.she had never been married to Aldrich, This she is said to have said she did to prevent Aldrich from being prosecuted for bigamy. At any rate the girl became ill in Mobile and was sent to Cincinnati, where after ten days' i’lness she died. Dr. I. T. Knox, of Cincinnati, one of the attending physicians, certified that she died “of nervous exhaustion, superinduced by extreme mental anxiety and grief.” The other doctor in attendance said simply that the girl “died of a broken heart.” William Hooper sent to Cincinnati for his daugher’s remains, and they were brought to this city. Yesterday afternoon they were buried in Greenwood, her mother and brothers, with a few friends, being the only participants in the last sad act of this domestic tragedy. SIMILIES.
