o excitement was occ*uiionon here to
day anione i be patrons of the bucket shop
by tho unexpected rise iu i*ork. Tho
market op“nod at $11.43 per barrel, and
seviru! heavy sales wero made. At
10:30 o'clock prices had juin|»ed to
$13 and the tiuirket was rejK>rted
buoyant. This sont several speculate
uel, stupendous fact that it
now appears.
in going up one of our streets one
morning not long ago I noticed two girls
not more than Id years of ago at work
rubbing tlm brass railing that protects
tlie show-windows of a largo retail store.
It was about 7:30 and a cold, disagree-
able morning. These two children were
bare-handed, and not warmly dressed;
they were exposed t<> tho weather un-
necos.iarily, and wore doing work which
should In?, and usually is, done hy a man.
pon inquiry I found that it is thoprac-
re of iiiis firm to deduct each holiday
from the pay of their cash girls and
uni girls, and for every fifteen
minutes of time lost 10 cents
.as taken from there little salary. This
eeems espial, in its injustice and cruel-
y, to borne of the stories of the treat-
wml of slaves. Yen this treatment is of
hildren here in the Boston of to-day,
