A nian is in general better pleased when he has a good dinnner upon bis table, than when his wife speaks Greek.— Johnson. Jolmson was right. I don’t agree to all The solemn dogmas of the rough old stager; But very much approve of what one may call The minor morals of the “Ursa Major.” Johnson was right. Although some men adore Wisdom in women, and with wisdom cram her, There isn’t one in ten but thinks far more Of bi own gi.tb ttuui of his spouse's gram mar. I know it is the greatest shame in life; But who amoug them (save perhaps myself) Returning home, but asks bis wife, What beef, not books, she has upon the shelf. Though Greek and Latin be the lady’s boast, They’re litt’e value to her loving mate, The kind of tongue that husbands relish most Is modern, Boiled and served uppn a plate. Or if, as fond ambition may command, Some home-made verse the happy matron show him, What mortal spouse but from her dainty hand Would sooner see a pudding than a poem ? loung lady, deep in love with Tom or Harry, ’Tis sad to tell you such a tale as this, But here is the moral of it : Do uot marry ; Or, marrying, take yonr lover as he is— Avery Mars—with something of the brute, Unless he proves a sentimental noddy, . With passions strong and appetite to boot, A thirsty soul with a hungry body. Avery man—not one of nature’s clods— With human failings, whether saint or sin ner, Endowed, perhaps, with genius from the gods, But apt to take his tamper from his dinner. Excerpta from Don Piatt. Human nature is the same the world over. While it is estimated that we have nearly four millions of men out of employ, they who have wages find themselves very little better off. It is hunger and privation to one—starva tion to the other. And, as if this extortion and robbery were not enough, we have a Govern ment riding us to death in the way of taxation that our national debt may be anticipated. It is bleeding and purg ing a sick man. There are times when a dime is of more value to a man than a dollar will be six months hence, and that is our situation now. “fWw yMet&L viving, and while New York sinks and laborers unemployed crowd the other wise desolated streets,Yanderbilt rises. It does not require a vast stretch of intellect nor a wide knowledge of facts to satisfy one that this is not only a wrong, but an outrage; and the la borer who strikes feels that what ever may be the law of the case the equities are with him. A true interviewer is a man who puts his own views in the mouth of the interviewed, and trusts to God and good luck to escape death. I tried that on a Western Congressman once, and it cured me of interviewing. He was an able-bodied, weak-minded man, and nothing but the fact that he was painfully short sighted saved me to be your brilliant correspondent. I used to sit opposite him iu the street-cars and hear him muttering oaths concern ing one D. P. We are but a hundred years old,and a Republic, yet the bayonets begin to bristle as iu Europe under century stained despotisms, and our bayonets, few as they are now, are far more dan gerous than they are in a War power abroad. Our officers are educated to a blind obedience unknown even in Germany, while the rank and file are made up of the very dregs of foreign elements. As our i fficer is an aristo crat and the private a dog, no one pos sessed of any character or self-respect will enlist. And this was the power the poor laborers at Martiusburg saw drawn up before them, and they knew that it was as cruel anil unfeeling as the timber of u gallows or the rope that hangs the convict. Distress among the laborers of the United States has bound them firm ly into one body. Where two people think alike there is organization. When they feel alike there is action, and there is no motive so powerful as hunger. A man without wages, with the cry of hungry children in his ears, is a man to be feared. We are given lo attribute the violence in France to false teachings of the Commune. This is not true. No man kills another on a difference of opinion. Masses do not go at throats for an idea. When Paris gets up at night and marches a hun dred thousand strong, with their blue shirts outside their pantaloons, it means that Paris is starving. There are hungry stomachs under the blouse and famishing families in the homes. “It is well to leave something for those who come after us,” as a man said when he threw a barrel in the way of a constable who was chasing him. Said one man to another, “If it was not Sunday, how much would you take for that lumber ?” “If it wasn’t Sun day, I’d tell you,” was the very proper reply. St. Lou’s suicides average two a day. The attempts of the St. Louis papers to excel each other in funny paragraphs have filled the town with a settled gloom —Kansas City Times. It is calculated that if chickens could be batched in three days the hens of America could put in one hundred and fifty-siv more days on every year. Their early attention is respectfully solicited.

SoMe (jAtisiS oi tHe iuoißiik The present lamentable condition of things is not the result of any sudden impulse or paroxysm of passion. It is the culmination of many causes, which have been augmenting in volume since the close of the civil war, and have finally burst the bounds of re traint and law. It ii impossible, as the New York bun says, to scrutinize the legislation and the administration of the Repub lican party during the ten years suc ceeding the rebellion, when it exer cised absolute power, without reaching the conclusion that both were con trolled by the bondholders, the banks, and the Rings. The welfare of the people at large and the interests of labor in all its forms were subordinal e to these powerful influences. Recon struction, by which the Southern States were impoverished and op pressed, became a part of the system through which the great monopolies were upheld, because it furnished votes for silencing opposition in Con gress, with majorities of two thirds to overcome vetoes, when interposed by Andrew Johnson. NO 32 No such party despotism was ever before witnessed in this country. The cry of disloyalty was shouted against whoever gave a sign of independence. Few were bravo enough to confront it, and the great mass submitted to the degrading discipline without a word of rem jnstrance. The Ring chiefs en tered Congress as masters. They de manded charters, land grants, and subsidies, and they were voted with alacrity by the purchased or silenced members, until hundreds of millions of the most valuable part of the public domain passed into the hands of a few gigantic corporations. Tens of mil lions lrom the Ireasury were also voted to these corporations, and then Congress abolished the first mortgage on the roads, which was the security of the Government for these enormous grants and advances. Less than a dozen men own these roads to-day as absolutely as they did the committees and the majorities which reported and passed the bills. When the five-twenty bonds were first issued, no condition was attached to them requiring payment in coin, ex cept as to the interest. The debates and votes prove incontestably that there was no obligation to redeem, ex cept in legal currency, and Mr. Sher man, now Secretary of the Treasury, was conspicuous in asserting that fact at the time, and in opposition to an amendment to redeem in gold. The bondholders were largely represented in both Houses in Congress, and the outsiders were not idle. A great lobby was organized, and in 1801) these bonds were made payable in gold. By this legislation the bondholders profit ed to the extent of several hundred millions, and the taxpayers were bur- Most oft Tie YegifteiViou ior tue uu, was manipulated by a committee of which the Chairman was a shrewd bank President and others were bank director--. Those institutions, under fostering charters and friendly protec tion at Washington, grew rapidly into wealth, and many of them paid fabul ous dividends before the crash came. Manufacturers likewise obtained any legislation they needed, and the tariff to-day is a mass of protected monopo lies, withoift rule or reason. In this wild and reckless career the public ex penditures were multiplied under every conceivable pretext, the currency was expanded, offices were created, and extravagance without accountability dominated. The public revenues were stolen, and every department of the Government was run by a Ring. After seven years of fictitious suc cess, the bubble burst by the bank ruptcy of one of the pillars of the vicious system, and in spite of the ille gal efforts of the then Secretary of the Treasury to prevent an inevitable catastrophe. The ruin and misery in flicted by the collapse of 1873, and by its consequences since then, cannot be measured iu money. Of all the suffer ers, the laboring men and their fami lies have had most to endure, not only in the reduction of wages, but also in the increase of their burdens, for it is not the rich class, by any means, who pay the bulk of the taxes. They are the favored few, who do not feel the turn of the screw which makes poverty shriek in agony. Superadded to these and other cau ses came the Presidential election of last year. Everybody knows Mr. Til den was chosen by a large majority of the people, white and colored, and by a majority of the electoral colleges. A conspiracy was deliberately concocted to deprive the country.of the victory thus ?d it succeeded. Mr. Hayes is admiffW- nng the Government by a on the people, and through the combination of some of the very men who were leaders during the period we have above described. They could not afford to have their past misdeeds brought to light, as Mr. Tilden would have unearthed them; and they were determined to hold on to power and patronage at any cost. It is not to bo supposed that the workingmen, laborers and others, were indifferent spectators to these events. They saw great corporations and Rings combining to increase their wealth, and they combined also for their own interests. They saw the Constitution practically overthrown and the laws trampled under foot, to install a defeated candidate in the White House, and the example has had its bad effect. Desperate and dangeous men have improved the chance to make common cause with the strikers, and the enemies of social order may be said to have taken the case of the strikers out of their hands, and substituted for it terrorism and plunder. What will be the outcome, time alone can tell; but one thing is certain, we are now reaping the bitter fruits of the excesses,plunder,corrupt legislation frauds and iniquities of the Republican party, and especially of the crowning outrage, by which a successfull con spirator was installed in the White House. We must deplore the sad scenes and the awful events of the past week; but certainly no reflecting and candid man, who recalls the re cent past and observe the actual pres ent, can entirely wonder at them.
