nml frequent complaints of unfairness nud
partiality will l e inevitable. Tlio im;w si-
lion upon a Federal < ourt of a iluty forei :n
to tho judicial fun tion, ns the selection of
nn arbitrator in such ensos, is at. lea*t of
doubtful propriety. Tin establishment by
Federal authority of such a bureau would be
a just and fcomublo recognition of tho value
of lubcr and of its right to be ropre .cnted i;
tlio dopnrtuionta of tho Government.
Ko far as its conciliatory oflieo! halre’n
tion to disturbances which int rfnred with
tiamit and commerco between the States, its
existence would bo justified under tlio provi
sions of 1I10 Const.tution, which gives to
Congress the power “to regulate • omnium 1
with foreign nnlions and among tho several
States.”
And in tlio frequent disputei betwomtlie
lalwiriug men and their employers of ?e s ex-
tout, and tho consequence! of which are con
fined within State limits nnd threaten do
mestic violence, the inteiposition of bikIi a
commission might I o tendered, upon tho ap
plication of the Legislature or executive of n
Hinto, under the constitutional provision,
which remiires the general government to
“protect’’ each of tlio Htates “ngninst demos-
tie violence.”
If mu h a commission w ere fairly organ! e l
the risk of a loss of popular support and sym
pathy, resulting from a refmul to submit to
so peaceful mi inst run.outnlity, would • on-
strain both parties to such disputes to invoko
its interference and abide by its deci ions.
Thera would also Ihj goixl renson to li q.o th t
the very existence of such an agency wou’d
invito application to it for advice ,T Kud conn
sel. frequently r suiting in the avoidauce of
ci ntention nud injsundi rstauding.
If tho u>efulness of such a commission is
doubted beenu-o it might lack pow'or to en
force its decisions, mu li en ourngement is
dorived from the com e<le 1 good that has 1 ecu
a-complishc l by the railroad eonnriisions
which have been organized in many of the
Htutes, wlii’:-li, having littl i more than advi-
tory power, have exerted a most sntisf.ictory
infiuenco iu tlio settlements of disputes be

In July, 188*1, by a law if Congre.-s, a
Bureau of Labor was-established auil placed
in charge of a Commissioner of Lubor, who
is required to “lolloct itiformatuii upon the
subject of labor, its relations to capital, the
hours of labor and the earnings of laboring
men nnd women, and the menu * of promo. -
ing their material, fcoeial, intellectual and

Tho commission which I suggest could
easily be ongrafted upon the bureau thus
already organized by the addition of two
more commissioners and by supplementing
the duties now opposed upon it by mi*, h
other powers and filiations as would per
mit tho commissioners to act as arbitrators
when necessary I etween labor nml capital

for* getting clanr of the city 1 stole it
ropy of tlio morning paper ofT a door-step
and after it walk of three hours I sat
down to post up. Homo trnmps dpn’t
i are for the nows of the day, but I have
always felt it to be my duty to look over
tlie dailies whenever I lmd a chuucc, nnd
lo ri nd every lino of them, from congres
sional proceedings to adiertisements. It
so happened thiit one of the first things
in this paper to attract my attention was
tlv following:
‘’Three tlioueaud dollars reward --Lost, on
the i; l!i in lnfit, from u.window of ncoarli
on Ihe Michigan Ventral, west of Pullman, „
ntiiule r'llltnllling dlmuonds. . Ihe (llldcr
will receive the nlwvo reward. Lonimtiiil-
,-ato will! A. 1)„ Room D2, Palmer House,
Chicago.’*' *
This, was tip' lBtn. Fivo days hail
elapsed since tho loss, iind.it was prob
able thut'si dozen pcoph' had bcert sent to
search ovor every rod of the track. I had
no moru idea of finding that treasure
than you have of flying, but as 1 con-'
ilimed my way up tho track I kept-my
eves prolcd.
' I pul in 11 vo miles of walking aud tjicn
snf iloWn to rest hgftlh. It was tnidsum-
nief'/ndd my old boots distressed my feet.
I came to a spot where a small creek .was
cross’d by tlie tracks, and I followcTl it
down’to the fcnco to find a place to wnsli
my feet. Just at tho fence was a deep
hole and a shady spot, and I tell you it
did my old feet good to sit there
nnd paddle tho soft and cooling
waters. I hnd been there twenty
minutes when a bird flow down on the
fence and hopped from that to ii
stick of driftwood to secure a drink. I
was silting slilT as a stono, not' wanting
to nlnrm him, when all of a suttden my
eye fell upon that lost lady’s retlculo. It
was jammed among a lot of light drift
wood held against the fence. I wasn't
half a minute getting possession of it.
The ling was provided with a lock, and I
out with my knife and cut a hole in it.
Out fell the diamonds rings,pins,brace
lets, studs and n gold watch set With
flashing stones. I could hold all in one
hand, and .lenisha! but didn’t the stones
sparkle nnd flash and shimmer nnd bring
my heart up into my throat! I sat them
for ton minutes without during to move,
for fear those sparkler* would suddenly
disappear, but by and by niv nerve came
back and I made up my mind wlmt to do.
Iliad nover tliougli of appropriating tilt
jewels lo my own use, but was in a hurry
lo rotum to Chicugo.
I wrapped the reticule up in tho paper,
put the diamonds in my pocket, and at U
o'clock Hint night I wns in front of tlio
Palmer house. I was about to enter when
a hand was laid on my shoulder and »
grulT voice called out:
"Now, then, what are you trying to
get awny with!"
It was a policeman, and ho had spotted
me for n thief.
"I’m carrying a parcel to n gcntlcmuu
in here,” I replied.
“Oh 1 you are! AVho might it bo!”
"Ilia nnino is Brown.”
’• "Oh! It 1b. Come along, my flno j fel
low." , .
“Ills name is‘Brown, and his room it
112. Como In with me. If I have liod
to you you can take me iu.”
lie hesitated for a moment nnd then
entered tho hotel with me. As wo v;s"hed
the desk he asked of tho clerk i
"Does a Mr. Brown occupy ID
"No, sir,” wns the reply.
“Now, you rascal, como along,”
growled tho officer, ns ho soized my
arm. ’
"It's the A. B. of room 112 who lost
the diamonds!” I shouted to the clerk us
I was being dragged away.
“Here—wait! AVlrnt do you know of
the diamonds?”
"licre's tho reticule, sir, nnd I have tho
jewels in my pocket. I found thorn
ulong the railroad track.” <
AVcll, you ought to see how mad that
policeman was, and how glad A. B. wns,
and how tickled I wns whou $11,000 was
counted into my hands. 1 went out of tlio

How to Punish Children. N
"now to punish children,” said Pro
fessor Adler, in a lecture recently, “is ona
of the burning questions of the day. Up
on it depends in a greater degreo than
people imagine tho welfare of the State,
Ihe fumily society, and the ethical devel
opment of humanity itsolf. Wo should
be tho physicians of our enemies; wo
should profit by thoir hostility und load
them to a better mind by gentleness uud
firmness combined; and even ehastisq
them when tlieir own good nnd social
advancement require it. How many
parents know how to punish children?
"A child will grow up, in nine ensos out
of ten, the embodiment of the influences
that surround him. Never chastise a
child iu anger. Socrates, the great pagan
philosopher, refrained from punishing a
slave until his pussion had cooled. An
angry father sets a perilous cxamplo to
li is offspring. lie exhibits his weakness
when he should be firm and contained.
Tho child drinks in tlie lesson, and his
moral nature is lacerated nnd warped.
4 jJLLow n\any children aro spoiled by,
discouragement! Furonts grumble and
chide the live-long day, and never praise.
It is . wrong. Nothing so effectually
crush a child's ambition' to ba goo<J/,and
noble. The sweot approbation'Of a jg>od
mother is enough to make a young man
face fire and death in a worthy cause.”
