Education of Business Men.
Business men, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, constitute the vast majority of
mankind. All who have to work for
their living, whether as laborers, crafts
men, clerks, managers of factories or
stores, professionals, soldiers, sailors,
statesmen, are in reality business men,
although in the more limited sense of
tho world it include! Anly merchants
and persons cngnged in buying and
selling, or in conducting largo estab
lishments. Tho number of men who
are placed bcyoud the necessity of
earning their daily bread by the uhc
of their brains forms a very small mi
nority of the human race, and this is
a consideration of primary importance
when tho subject of the education of
boys those boys who nro to be the
1 world's future men comes up. Could
a parent at the outset of his son's ca
reer reseo with certainty what it

of boys. Injjjanufacturing benches
of industry, a better educated work
man is required now to do the intelli
gent work demanded of bim than was
Iho case years ago, and in commerce,
generally, there is a gfeater demand
for educated men and tho directions
which it now takes, call forth more
and more a man's abilities. What,
then, ought to be the preliminary
training which will enable the busi
ness man to grasp with readiness the
merits and demerits of the theories,
ideas and experiments, which are con
stantly" being 'suggested tdliini ifftke
course of his business? Ought lio to
have been previously thoroughly drill
ed in the classics to be a master of the
intricacies:. of JGreek. grammar, . and
able to compose faultless Latin verses?
to be able to calculate an eclipse, or
to investigate the properties of a curve?
or should he be content with a moder
ate knowledge of Greek, Latin and
mathematics, and devote a proportion
of his time to the "onomies and eu
logies?" or should be abstain from
classics altogether, and be content with
mastering his iwn language and such
a moderate amount of mathematics as
will suffice for book-keeping land-sur
vevintr. encineerinit or navigation?
Each of these plans has its advocates,
In the old world, particularly in Eng.
land and Germany, a classical educa
tion is deemed of prime importancc.and
those youths who are not versed in au-
cient literature, geography and my
thology, are apt to be looked down up
on. It is not so here, however, and it
is well known that many of our most
successful business men and influential
citizens have begun life with little
knowledge beyond what their native
sagacity enabled them to acquire for
themselves. This fact is sumcieut to
prove that a classical education is not

much of tho world's art and literature
which would otherwise be but imper

means of refining his tuto and his
pleasures.
60 the study of the sciences in youth
may not lead to any practical results,
but it renders easy the subsequent ap

A eourse of chemistry, for instance,
undergone by a young man of twenty,
may prove utterly useless to him in a
business sense, because he may enter
on pursuits which require no knowledge
of that science, and after thirty years
the science itself may have, undergone
considerable transformation ; yet
should he then have to turn his atten
tion to it, his previous knowledge will
make his path smooth to tha future,

reasons the mastery of the elements of
the physical sciences ought to form a
portion of every boy's education. But
there is another consideration which
ought not to be overlooked, and that
is, that tho boy of to day w ill be tho
citizen of to-morrow, perhaps the leg
islator of tho next day ; therefore it is
important that he should be taught the
rudiments of law nnd political econo
my, together with a clear and sufficient
explanation of the principles of the
history of this country, and 01 so
much of that of England as will en
able him to better comprehend our
own. Add to this a moderate train
ing in elocution, nud tho youth starts
in his business life with reasonable
prospects of success, always providing,
however, that he keeps clear of vice
and frivolty and is strictly, honorable,
otherwise all knowledge in the world
will be but of limited benefit 10 him.

Singular death. of an Indian, hi
Squzw and his Dog.
A Sioux City, Iowa paper, says:
We learn the following interesting par
ticulars of the death of the noted In-
diau farmer. Yellow Hawk, and his
wife and dog, near Fort Sully, from
Colouel Bannister, who has just' re-
turned from the upper country.
Yellow Hawk was a shrewd old In-
dian, who had abanoned his native
mode of life to a great extent, and
cono to farming, on the Tcora bottom,
a fertile piece ot land in the up river
country. Bv his industry and econo-
my he had accumulated wealth enough
to purchaso a horse and ca:t, with
which he lias been in the habit for the
past few years, of traversing, the
country, and disposing of the products drawn that rain can be produced dur
of his farm to the different posts with- jng ft period of drought by missing a
in his reach. He always carried with
him a canvas tent, which he would
pitch whenever he saw au approaching
storm. .la siifrrrestion was made to the French
. 1 .
About three weeks ago thero passed
over Fort Sully a terrible thunder
storm, and in it old Yellow Hawk
vielded un the chost. On the day
following the storm, a party of men curastanccs ; but only under nctain at
happencd to run upon a little canvas mosphcre conditions. These condi

There were no siirns of life about it,
and one of the men out of curiosity,
went to it nnd lifted the canvas door
and stepped in. There in one end of
the tent, sat Yellow Hawk, erect and
rigid as a statue, with his eyes wide
onen and one hnud firmly crasped on
a dog's neck,tud the dog standing on
his foro legs, and partly sittinc; on his

Rain Can
duced ?
it be Pro-
The Baltimore Gazetto says: "Is it
possible to produce rain at will during
a season which promises to bo one of
protracted drought ? The question is
one that has execrcisod tho minds of
scientific men for a number of years,
and all, or nearly all of them agree
that no n.atter how dry tho weather
may have previously been, heavy rain
storms almost invariably occur after
a great battle has been fought, or a
town has been subject to bombard
ment. ' .. !
German writers record similar from
the battles which havo recently been
fought on the French frontier. The
drought, which had parched the: crops
and shriveled up the rivers, has been
succeeded during the past six weeks
by vast and violent rains, which hare
done great damage to tho stauding
corn in many districts, and have se
riously impeded the march of troopsi
Since tho opening battle of tho cam
paign, at Woerth, until tho close of
the siege nt Strasbourg, there has been
a series of violent raiustorms accom
panied by much thunder nnd lightning
These' storms have swept, in., thoir
course, across southern Germany to
the fur pltiina of Hungary, and it is
stated that tho clouds did not du. perse,
and fair weather sat iu until the cessa
tion of heavy fijliJJBS. Various facts
are cited, in regard to previous wars,
to confirm the theory thai violent con-f
cussions of tho atmosphere are produc
tive 01 rain, uuring 1110 inviwmu
of ' rcoublican France by tho ', Ger
niau arniics in 1790, tho latter, on
their retreat, were obliged to abandon
Uie;r beavier -artillery because the
ra;n8 l,aj saturated the soil to such a
uepth as to prevent them moving the
guns with the necessary rapidity. Iho
Franco-Prussian war of 180b was
marked by heavy and continuous rains,
anj during nearly all the campaigns
0f Napoleon, the Crimean war, tho
war ; Italy, which ended a the ex
jn,ision of tho Austrians, and also
our civil war, similar metcrological
disturbances were noted

barometer shall mark less than Eeven

of firing shall be at some point on the
coast where tho atmosphere is charged
with aqueous vapor.
But if the theory thus elaborated bo

Shocking Affair in Somerville, Mass,
At tho lard refinery of Lincoln,
Chamberlin & Co., (of Boston,) in
Somerville, a shocking accident occur
red on Monday afternoon about live
o'clock. The vats for rendering the
lard are tanks that rise about three
feet above the floor and are about
nine in depth. While engaged in some
work about one of them, lIr. George
Lincoln accidentally slipped, and in
attempting to recover his balance fell
over the side of the vat into the boil
ing lard, the scalding mass enveloping
his entire body.' A young man named
Morrison was the first to wituess the
accident, and in an unsuccessful at
tcmp to get Mr Lincoln out of the vat
was himself badly burned. Assistance,
however, was speedily obtained, and
the unfortunate man was taken out in
a condition almost too horrible fordes
criptiou. Life remained,however,and
Drs. Hooker and Barrett , were iniruo
diately summoned. They did all that
laid in their power to alleviate the
sufferings of, Mr. Lincoln, but pro
nounced hia recovery, hopeless. He
died about two hours after .tho acci
dent, in great aouy. , His brother-in.
law, Mr.. Morrison, suffered excessive
ly from tho scalding received in . at
tempting to get tho victim out of . the
vat, Tho terrible accident accurred
while Mr. Lincoln was brushing out
the vat, when he slipped from the plat
form. ,IIc resides in Boston, was abou
twenty-four years of age and Married
. A Touching Scene.
A singular incident occurred in tli
office of a Louisville' jutomey-at-law
last' week.1 A couple wd had. been
married for sixteen or seventeen years
had wearied of the matrimouial bar
ness, and the w ife had brought suit for
divorce, upon the ground of cruel and
inhuman treatment. The affidavits
had all been made out in due form
and filed in tho courts, and she had
called at the office of tho attorney that
day for the purpose of urging him to
push the suit. While seated in the
office her husband came in. Ho sat
and looked at his wife for some, time,
and then said, "Old women we lived
together for a long time." The wife
repled. "Yes, we did." The husband
said, "Don't you think we had better
try it again ?" The wife replied, "les
if you will act right." The old man
rose up, lifted his hands to Heaven,
and, with a voice tremulous with emo
tion, repeated his vows to nourish,
cherish, love, honor and protect until
death the bride of his youth, and then
folded her to his bosom, and they wept
together for joy. Even the fliuty-heart-
ed attorney, who saw a good caso with
big fees fading forever from the sight,

The Money-Order System.
Tho money-order system is intended
to promote public couveuicnco and 111
sure safety iu the transfer through the
mails of small sums of money. Tho
mode by which safety is secured con
sists in leaving out of the order the
name of the payee or party for whom
the money is intended. Iu this respect
a money-order differs from al. ordinary
hank draft or check. Au advico or
notification containing full particulars
of the order is transmitted by tho
issuing postmaster to tho postmaster at
tho oflico of payment.. Tho latter is
thus furnished, before tho order itself
cau be presented, with tho necessary
information to detect fraud, if auy
should bo attempted.

ing the losers should their letter con
taining the order bo lost or stolen, as

Somnolence Extraordinary.
A very good joke that on an attache-
of ft prominent publishing house, who.
on last Thursday evening, escorted a .
young lady to the opera. The gentle
man had been compelled by bis busi
ness to work hard of late and, feeling
quite tired, is it any wonder that the
easy jolting of the carriage over the
wooden pavements of West Washing
ton street should put him to sloep?
The lady having no one to criticise tho
play with her, or discuss the mor
its and demerits of their acquaintances,
also wooed the drowsey god, and pret
ty soon both occupants of theelegantly
unholstcred clarence were fust asleep.
Nor was this all. The driver, some
how, managed to fall asleep also, and
as the horses were kiud and gentle,
they jogged along faithfully ttntil No.
Washington street had been
reached. Here they stopped in front
of tho house, and there they remained
until morning. Whether the gentle
hian and lady, or the driver woke first
is not known; but is was nearly two
o'clock when they did discover their
absurd situation. Chicago Times.

A Juvenile Mother. A census-
taker, going hiB round, Btoppcd at an
elegant brick dwelling-house, the ex
act locality of which is no business of
anybody. He was received by a stiff,
well-dressed lady, who could wen oe
recognized as a widow of some years
standing. On learning the mission 01
her visitor the lady invited him to take
a seat in the hall. Having arranged
himself in a working position he in
quired for the number of persons in
the family of the lady. "Eight, sir,"
replied the lady, "including myself."
"Very well your age, madam?"
"My age, sir!"rcplied tho lady, with
a piercing, dignified look. "I con
ceive it's none of your business what
my age might be ; you are inquisitive,
sir." "The law compels me, madam,
to take the age of every person in tho
ward ; it's my duty to make the in
quiry." "Well, if tho law compels
you to ask, I presume it compels me to
answer. I am between thirty and for
ty." I presume that means thirty
fivo?" "No, sir, it means no such
thing I am only thirty-three years of
age." "Very well, madam,", putting
down the figuers, "just as you say.
Now for tho ages of the children, com
mencing with tho youngest, if you
please." "Josephine, my youngest, is

"Yes, sir. Is thero auything remarka

of age?"
About that time the ceusus-taker
