Heal no lurnif-hesthirteen other large estab lishments with astronomical calcula tions including several New York newspapers. The correspondent writes as follows : Sheridan, Iebanon County Pa., May 11. 1 There arc not many blacksmith astronomers in the world. Yet here in this quiet little village in the valley of Lebanon, I Lave found me, probably the only one in the I lil ted States ; a man who to-day is mak ing astronomical calculations for a lit tle world of almanac makers, and who employs the other half of his time in making iron spoons, ladles, horse shoes, and other articles of the black smith trade. His star gazing and eclipse calculations do not bring Lint in a sufficient sum to support himself and family, and hence Le pounds and fashions red hot iron for a livclehood. That's the kind of a man Lawrence J. Ibaeh is. Just 137 miles west of New York by way of the AHentown Line, to ward liarrisburg, is a station on the Lebanon Valley Railroad named in honor of gallant little Phil. Sheridan. It is about thirty-five miles east of Harrisburg and seventeen west of Heading. Prom 'Sheridan your cor respondent rode two miles inland to the village of Jsewninnstown. It was late in the afternoon when the jolly (lerman driver drew rein and came to a halt in front of a little low coun try blacksmith shop onthemain street of the village. It was a !inrv place. rickety, sooty and black. A una!! pile of coal and a lot of scrap iron were Iving near the door. The tink- As a contribution to the cousidcra- of this important question, wc subioin the following front the bos ton i!ilr. Our readers will find some of ils suggestions deserving of the most careful and thoughtful con sideration : One of the worst features of the go-called1 trades-unions, is that which discourages the apprenticeship system, and seeks to prevent discrim ination between skilled and unskilled labor. o doubt the introduction of labor-saving maehinerv lias much to do with this false policy, which tends to degrade the standard of good work manship , but the fact should not be lost sicht of that the increasing use of machinery has multiplied new in dustries, and these, in turn, especial Iv in the United States, have not only augmented actively in old ones, but enlarged the field for new ones, thus a Hording opportunity to the youth of the land to learn trades, and work with their hands for a living. The desire of the average young man, however, to get his living by his wits, has led a writer of note to remark that the institution ol ap prenticeship established by the an cient guilds has had its day." We have onlv to look around in our large cities to realize that there is a good deal of truth in the force of this observation. The reasons assigned for this are as complex as they are numerous. Among other sources, in addition to the arbitrary rule of trades-unions, thousands of "ready- made " workmen have emigrated from the Old Vorld to fill the gap in our industrial departments. The policy of employing workmen, already skilled, from abroad, in preference to raising new generations 'of native skilled artisans, by the apprentice ship system is one worthy of profound ling song of the anvil and hammer j consideration. In the early history was heard. The door opened, and a j t the country, every able-bodied citi- la;l. well-buiit man appeared. ' Nothing wrong, Mr. Ibacb," eaid the wagoner, "only brought a stran ger to see you. Wants to have a talk with you." Two hours afterward, by appoint ment. I was in the study of this most remarkable man. It was a singular apartment away off here in the wilds of Pennsylvania, apparently beyond the borders of civilization. The walls were hung with maps, and corners of .the room contained piles of book's. A low broad table was in the middle of thei "om. and a largo coal oil lamp was dimly burning. Several beauti ful globes, elegantly mounted, were on the table. The rain pattered in cessantly on a skylight above. A i large sectional telescope was lying in a rack. Another, on a beautiful stand was; near the door. An old Chinese work on astronomy is a rare relic, lie Las a reprint of Montuela, recount ing observations that were made 2,500 years ago.

The opinions of Galileo, Hev tlius, Huygens, Xewton, Kepler, Hal ley, Donguer, Maupertius, Ia Caillc, Tobias Mayor, l'lsle, Lambert, Euler and very many others of a later date, arc on the shelves and table. He has charts, instruments, sketches, outlines of air and wind currents, and very many other articles pertaining to this braach of his business. And all these hid away here in the rear portion of a two-story frame house, far from the habitation of science, art or letters. .Mr. Ibaeh is fiftv-cight rears of age. He was boru in AHentown, P' liusylvania, and in all respects is a self-made man as far as he hasgone. He speaks English, German, Spanish, French, and pome Italian. He is furnishing thirteen large establish ments with astronomical calculations, including several newspapers in New York for their almanacs. His calcu lations for 1S74 "acre made two years iigo. Those for 1875 arc finished and translated into four languages, and in a few days will be sent away. The calculations for 1S7G have been commenced. In the morning the astronomer works with his telescope, charts, and instruments. In the afternoon he shoes horses, makes nails, Lammers iron into ladles and spoons, nnd finds Time to instruct his neighbors and customers. In the evening he enter tains his wife and little ones, and never fails to pass two hours vith his books. His translated caculations go as lar as South America. Jlc is in correspondence with many of the leading minds on astronomy in this country. Ibaeh went to school untill fifteen years of age, and was then apprentic ed to the black smith trade. At the age of t velve he Logan the study of nstromomy, and read mnch on the subject after working hours. A Frenchman named Mancard paid some attention to his education. Ibaeh served his apprenticeship in full. At thirty years of age he fell heir to a large lot of instruments, the property of an aged astronomer. Ibaeh determined to learn the profes sion of the dead man.

I was bhown the first pages of his manuscript of a new book o n nstrno my he is about to issue. He also pointed with pride to a lot of shovels and iron ladles and spoons he had made during the day. He is a genius in no small way, and is com pleting a telescope larger than any in the State. All in all, he is a wonderful man, Lid away here in the country, solving the problem of the 6tars and planets and shoeing horses and doing other woik in his blacksmith ebop.

Delay is dangerous action imperative. .en was expected to be able to fall back upon his own resources, in cer tain cases. If he had no opportunity to obtain his bread and butter by his wits, he could use his hands skillfully, and thus secure a livelihood and keep the wolf from the door. The fingers ot Midas, now as then, turn every thing that they touch into gold or its equivalent, but the great question involved is the one pertaining to the acquisition of that power which cx tracts money and comfort from labor and skill and renders the industrial calling dignified, influential and pow- erijl. This matter of apprenticeship is a key to the labor question, and wc are almost prepared to say that, in view of the tendency of the monopolizing features of the trades-union, coupled with the opportunities offered by the liberal character of our political and educational institutions, apprentice ship like compulsory education, should be the function of the State, as it was one of the functions of the ancient guilds. A step in the right direction is the establishment of schools of technology, the necessity for which will not be denied. In Massachusetts, New York, and sever al other States a change in the char acter and work of the public schools is gradually going on. There is an C(iual necessity for schools of trade. The only such schools now arc those connected with the penal in- j stitutions of the country, and it is to be regretted that, in many instances, those who Lave been compelled to thus become skilled in various de partments of labor, instead of pur suing their vocations when set at liberty, Lave again turned their wits to account, generally dishonestly, rather than work with their hands for a living. It is now about four years since the attention of the Legis lature of Massachusetts was called to the general subject of industrial art bv the petition of certain gentlemen setting forth the disadvantages under which our manufacturers have to compete with foreign manufacturers for workmen tkiilcd in drawing and in other arts of design. One result of that action has been the establish ment, in lloston, of the Normal Art School and several free evening drawing schools, conducted on the English and French plans. The com plete course at the Normal School will take lour years, and the work is of great variety and of a practical nature. There arc now over one hundred students here. The draw ing schools also are well patronized, and are amply supplied with models selected with great care in England and on the Continent, together with examples illustrating tho course of study pursued in the Art School at South Kensipgton. There arc more than two hundred students in these schools. The School of I nstrumcntal Drawing is well calculated to make fr (l 1 1 n f-.il i f . i ti . .- -1 - r. nml ?to I members are principally t'roiu the working classes machinists, carpen ters, ship-builders, etc. Tho instruc tors arc practical workmen, and in struction is given in original design and in detailed construction. At cer-i tain points of progress, the student chooses some one branch of industrial art, to which he is afterwards to de vote himself exclusively. It is un necessary to add that this innova tion has proved a successful one, and its practical and commercial val ue cannot be over-estimated. There is also a moral question in volved in this subject. A man with out a trade, with the chances ot get ting his living by his wits always against him, and always endeavoring to conceal Lis poverty for to adver tise one's self poor is to deprive one's self of credit is apt to lose Lis self respect and exist on the principle that the world owes him a living, conscious of the truth of the old couplet: Furmer,s wives should study econ omy economy of money, economy of time ami economy of miud. Most all of us think wc know how to save, but wc do not. It is not economy for farmer's wives and daughters to stand rut in the snow on butchering day, :uid clean and wash hogs' en trails, ju.,t to save what little fat there ia on them for soap grease. 1 have known farmer's wives and daughters to do this when the whole amount saved would not be worth twenty-five cents, and their husbands and fathers at that time were worth $30,000. 1 know farmer's wives who are so anxious to make money that they nevcr allow their children to have cream or good, rich milk to eat with their mush .They give their little ones blue milk and sour yeast, seven days old (they say it takes so much fresh bread for a meal they only bake once a Week), and the consequenco is, the children arc made sick, the doctor is sent for and his bills have to be paid, which are often as much as all the butter will conic to that the mother will sell in six mouths. New all such methods as these arc the very reverse of economy. When farmer's wives ae as intclligentas they should be, they consider the preservation of their own health and the health of their families as the greatest econo my that can be practiced on the farm.' We must quit this stuffing business wc must learn that neither good taste nor good sense requires us to prepare fourteen different dishes every time a neighbor comes to visit us. If wc would do less of this firing and fussing, preparing food that no one dare eat if he hope to have long life and put our time in in reading and thinking yes, it is absolutely necessary that we have time to think. We must give our friends and fami lies plain, well-cooked food, and then devote some time each day to our own improvement. Vrarw far mer. C X in Atf pi 'rfi: -r )iie i h. IIIKAI SIDE GKOCEIIY.

They are elabo rately bedecked, and a Id richness and elegance to well established grounds. In the smallest gardens there is room for one or more of them ; they are of various sizes, and sold largely by seedmen. The successful culture of lovely plants in baskets,' vases, etc., lies in the proper selection of plants; for ex ample, ail the plants set in one vessel should be such as will flourish under the same treatment. It is true that sonic species require more water than others some thrive best in the sunshine, others succeed best in partial shade. Any one at a loss to select suitable plants, may ask an honest florist to furnish such plants, and the right number to plant in a vase, stand or hanging basket. State the size of it, and whether it will be placed in full or partial shade and whether creeping or upright plants are desired. The next point is, to use a rich, light and friable compost for the plants to crow in, as their roots will be confined in a small space. Fre quent waterings should be attended to. When the weather gets too cold for the plants in fall, all the vessels may be taken into the house, and by special care the plants therein will flourish till the following spring, when they should be thrown out and the vessels refilled with new plants and fresh compost.
