Now the great iron horse doe* the business in two ■ •r three days. Solomon, the wisest man in all the east declared that there wan “nothing new under the sun,” and yet even he, perhaps, would have felt astonished, if the century in which he nourished had been so prolific in wonders as the present. In breathless awe the world waits to see what is coining next. And it is likely that thedwellers unearth a hundred years hence will look back to our old fogy times with pityingcoinmise* ration. What is the tendency of these wonder ful strides in material progress? Do men grow better or worse under this lightning schedule? is the sum total of human happiness* increased thereby? These questions, like most others, are sided. The sticklers for old tin es 1 though it diarogardu the old maxim about self-I p.-ilse, etc. But tie* polt.t of the observation lies in the application oiV.. It depends on what you i call news to decide whether you are getting your | money’s worth, or whether you only illustrate the ■ old proverb of “a fool and his money soon j parted.” One of our esteemed contemporaries remarks; Knights of Labot estimate* that the cost of the - Could system strike wa* one million dollars in wages to the strikers, uuo hundred thousand dol lars to the general board, and three and a half million dollars to the railroad companies. Perhaps this is true, and yet the laboring man . | was worst hurt after all. The loss in wages is a j , real and serious one to the men thrown out of I work, the loss to the railroad companies is prob- I ubly very largely “constructive.” The | railroad companies may make up 1 all or a large part of their loss when business is resumed, but the day laborer can never recover the lost time and wages; his loss is absolute. It j is quite probable that the figures above presented are given out to show that strikers can, at all events, inflict more loss upon their employers | than they themselves suffer, but it will fail of its j purpose with all thinking men able to recognize j the difference between the loss of days’ wages J necessary to support and never to he made up, , and the loss of possible dividends or profits not | actually needed, and which a\ay he recovered in I a very short season of prosperity likely to follow MAT OF LETTER*.

The cook hooks say that things which are slowly cooked are better than if they were rushed through in the hurry. There is a gleam of en couragement in this. We have been cooking slowly for the last week, and it is consoling to know that we are steadily getting better. The non-inventiveness of women has been held up for halfa century as showing remarkable mental deficiency, and for more centuries than can he counted the cowardice of women has been a joke.
