TIIK AMOUNT OF dOLti AN I, SILVER MIS Kit IN THIS OOt'NTRY—TIIE OUTLOOK. In tho opinion of some experts the rroductinn of precious metals in tiio 'nited States is Imt just beginning, in the lust ten years tve have ativsnceti from #17.320,000 in silver, and #;-i3,7.'i0,- 000 in gold t|>ly of emigrants to fill, for mechanic!* of every grade, carpenter*, weaver*, gardeners, worker* in every kind ol metal, etc. An our reader* know, hodiea of skilled workmen bav* been- imported during the last six months by our manufacturing lirrns t.y the hundreds, to so large an extent as to close many of the mills in Kngland. Yet every American town and village is crowded with idle boys and young men ; not idle of tiieir own choice, but seek ing vainly to Hud work as bookkeefiern, cleiks, or perhaps starving as briellcsn lawyers and patientless doctors, (aim fort and a competence await the foreign mechanic, while the American of the same class goes hungry. The principal cause of this is that our trades a gener ation ago closed their floors on appren tices in order to keep down competition. The owner of the largest printing estab lishment in Philadelphia tried in vuin, a few yeura ugo, to'find admission4or his son as an apprentice to his own establishment. '1 he same rigor has been observed in almost every trade. While, however, they can keep their own and their neighbors' sons out, they cannot exclude the foreign mechanic, who, as we have shown, is coining hy the hundreds and the thousands to step quietly into Hie comfortable places from which our own people are shut out. It is lime our working people should waken to the folly of this sui cidal policy. It is all very well lor us to boast that America oilers a refuge for the oppressed of every nation. She has done a in the past and long will con tinue to do it. Hut it is hanily consist ent with such a character of universal benevolence that her own children should be the only ones forbidden to j earn their bread in the manner which I seems best to them. She Needed no Ticket. j I'nun tli'" Rw 1,#.!., Ismwml. | Among the crowd that surged forward I toward the gntes n* tlie .St. I.ouis ex j press rumbled into the Central i>e[*>t j Isst evening was a little old woman j dressed in black, with ft little white face .just visible beneath u rusty old bonnet | and HIJOVP a great comforter wound higb j around the neck. Jostled this way at.d i that by the hurrying throng, she was j about to pass through the gate when j ihe gentleman stopped her by a motion of the hand and a demand for her I ticket. "1 nrn not going away," she i replied ; "I didn't buy a ticket." "Th. n ! you can't go through here; against or ; ders, you know." "Bui, sir, my son is ; coining, and—" "Can't help it," was the J hurried reply. "Stay here, and he will come to you quick enough." "Ah, sir, if he only would." was the reply ; and 1 the tremble in the little woman'* vetre arrested the im|>atient murmur of tho*e lehind. "Oh, sir, if he only would ; ! but he died in Cleveland last week, and now they are bringing my boy home in a coffin. He was the only one I bad Oh, thank you, sir." The gate wa* thrown wide open, an unknown friendly hand assisted ber on, and in a moment the sad face of the little old woman in black was lost in the crowd. - —■ ■■ ■ Noah's Tomb. A road practicable for wheeled vehi cles, writes a traveler in the Holy Land, along ihe plain to Baalbec, distant about lorty miles—a pleasant road, for the first hour skirting the lower Lebanon -purs, and winding between hedges of roses in through a richly cultivated country. I turned off from it liefore it became hot and dull, at the i village of Mualnks, celebrated as con taining the mortal remains of Noah, • whose tomb is shown to the credulous stranger. Its dimensions are 104 feet long by ten broad, and it conveys some idea of the sue of the human race before they evolved backward, as it were, to their present dimensions. As Noah lived to the age of 9">o years, and j built an ark large enough to contain sjiecimens of every diving thing on the 1 face of the globe, there seems to he no reason why he should not him*e!f have been over 100 feet high. Tocrntxr; the divorce of Joaephine, a subject which seems to grow in inter- j est a* it fade* in time, there are curious ' and almost painful details in the last ! chapters of Madame de Kemusat on i the emotions of Bonaparte, on his ner- ( vous state, his agitation: "My poor Josephine, I shall never lie able to leave you." The terrible man, wh<\ felt tin-• mover! on the battle-field, and who played with the livea of men as a child < plays with sand, cried easily; he loved 1 nd tormented his "little Creole ;" he 1 wished to see her covered with dia monds and to tear all her ornaments from her. He did leave her after all, and the "Memoirs" of Metternich show that he regretted deeply tbe "felly" which he committed when ha abandon ed his first wife. The Archduchess Maria Louise was, in his thought, a lie between his dynasty and the old dynas ties of Kurope. |{ soon saw that she had been sacrificed, like Iphigeoia; that the old dynasties did not and could not forgive him ; Marie l/ouis helped them and gave tbein a little breathing time, but the coalition had become inevitable, and tbe days of the hmpire were alreadv numbered. The fiopular feeling in France justified the instincts of Bonaparte; even now you will find among the feasants, the sol diers, the poor, a vague notion that Napoleon's luck was tier! to the "bonne Josephine," and thst when he left her he signed his own condemnation.

Closing Days of the Widow of Hon. U. N. IMikliiHon. from lh Nr Vork • Mrs. Lvdia Dickinson, wife of the late Daniel K. Dickinson, lihm for weeks jmnt been lying dangerously ill at the residence of her daughter, Mr*, Samuel S, Courtney, at High Bridge. For week* pant the life of the vener able lady has been despaired of, and yesterduy her physician, Dr. Ilciiry I'aine, said that she would hardly live the week out, and, in fact, was liable to drop oil' any moment. The dis ease from whieh she suffers is dropsy, aggravated by other oomplications in cident of old age. In early life Mrs. Dickinson's social and personal ac complishments, added to the high po litical position and deserved lame of her husband, made her a noble figure in the society of New Vork and the National Capital. .She was Ixirn in June, JBO.I, in the township of Una diila. Her father, Dr. Kolby Knapp, was a leading citizen cd' Southern New Vork, the founder of the village of knappsburg, Chenango county, twelve miles from I nadilln. Her ma ternal grandfather, Colonel Elihu Murray, wu an officer of distinction during the Revolutionary war and was attached to Washington's start'. His daughter, Rticind, (afterward Mrs. Dickinson's mother*, was a noted beauty. In her girlhood, Mrs. Dick insoii attended the well known Oxford Academy, at Oxford, X. V., where, among her fellow pupils, were Horatio Seymour ami Ward Hunt, afterward Judge of the Court of Appeals. Daniel S. Dickinson, then unknown to fame, was a rising young wool dresser, who, though lie ha*! never gone to school more than two weeks in his life, was ambitious of doing something better. He fell in love with Lydia and married her, she being ninete-n and he twenty-two. Woman like, she was quick to discover her husband's talents, and urged hirn by every means in her jsiwer to persevere in Ids law studies, and fit himself for a high position in life. The Rev. Mr. Garvin, of Guilford, was Dickin son's tutor. and taught hiin lattin and surveying, and other branches, in the evening. Dick in v>n worked patiently at his law-books in the day-time. In winter, he taught school to pay the expenses of his education. For seven long year* he lal>orrd, cheered and en couraged by the smiles of his voting wife until, at lat, in IH2P. he was admitted to the bar of Chenango county. Three years later be removed to Riiighamton, where he speedily out distanced other competitors, and be came the aknowledgcd leader of the har in the southern counties.
