GREAT STRIKE In sLoNpoN.-It has been
stated the operatives in London engaged in
the building trade are occupied in q formida
bic movement in opposition to certain req ui-
sltions made on them by their employers, and
to secure limit of n ne hours daily labor.
A meeting was held in Hyde Park, attended
by ~, 900 persons. The proceedings were char.
acterlzed by sturdy determination of tone.-
MIR. Facey, a painter, presided The move
ment, he said, had not originated with dissa-
tisiied men, but had been caused by the tyran.
NY OF employers, and the evils inflicted upon
the WORKING classes by what was called the
system of political economv Their forefath-
ers had fought their way to liberty through
blood ana death. The TO, ae of reason was
now stronger than that of the sword Other
speakers denounced the employers and politi-
cal economy as understood in England The
crisis had come, said Mr.. Osborn, a plasterer
The employers had said that at the end of the
week they would lock The workmen out. Mr.
Potter, joiner, said the masters had raised a
combination among themselves TO put down
conn mbination among the workmen. Eighty
provincial houses had sided with the work
men. The London Times, which was against
the movement, was gibbetted and burned, and
the meeting separated making resolutions of
resistance to the employers. ~
FINDING DROWNED PERSONS BY QUICK
sILvEE.-A correspondent of the Troy Times
gives the following narrative of an occurrence
at Shrewsbury Lake, VT. as coming under
his own observation
The Lake is noted now on account of the
death OF Young man, q conductor on the
Rutland and Burlington Railroad, who was
crowned IN 1t short time ago. AT the time
the boat, making it 'sdip water,.-when un-
luckily they We're al swamped, and this young
man, the best swimmer in the lot, was drown
ed After a very long and almost hopeless
search after the body-a very novel idea was
suggested, which. after trial, proved successful
in leading to the discovery of his whereabouts
About three ounces of quicksilver was put
into LOAF OF brown bread, well baked, and
thrown into the Lake. The loaf was discov-
ered to move directly against the wind; soon
1T stopped, whirled around several times and
sunk. They Immediately rowed to the place
and threw out the grapplers. The first time
they hooked his face, the second time the hook
fastened to his boot, and he was hauled into
the boat. Where he was found, the water was
20 feet deep. In his pockets were a large sill
Yer watch and considerable quantity of sill
yer money-which caused the attraction of
the quicksilver, and led to the discovery of
his watery grave. The accident, place, and
singular circumstances connected with the
sad affair, render it remarkable.
THE PORTSMOUTH Norfolk
correspondent OF the ". Y. Tribune, speaking
of the ships at this yard, says that the four gi.
gantic ships of the line, which figure so con-
spicuously on the Navy Register, present a
striking picture of formida BILE i'm becility The
Pennsylvania, 5000 tons burden, % years old,
and several hundred feet long, is looking very
shabby of late, and has only small ships
company in her commodious quarters. The
old Columbus still booked on the annals as a
two-thousand-t ton liner of 50 guns, is doing
"ordinary" duty, viz: nothing. She is 40 years
old, and will never pass a harbor-light again
The Delaware liner, 2,6JG tons burden, 81 guns,
was built one year later than the Columbus
and has been ten years lying in this harbor
She will soon go the way of all unsound tim
ber. The New York. or at least the skeleton
of what, AZ years ago. was intended TO be Il
Yankee line OF battle ship of that name, is son
the stocks, in exactly the same situation as
she was IS years since. Touching this ''skele-
ton, every new Secretary of the Navy is asked,
"What will he do with it ~ but none of them
has ever answered the question to satisfaction.
There are three frigates at the yard - the
Raritan, a 5U-gun craft, sixteen years old; the
Columbia. built at Washington in 1886, and
the old United States, built at Philadelphia in
1897. The two first named, it is said, might be
fitted out for quiet cruise in peaceful lati-
tudes, but the latter has done her last piece OF
service. Among the useful and efficient yes-
sells are the new steam sfoop Richmond, IA
guns, of nearly 1900 tons burden, the neal
gun-boat Decotah, the Dispatch, all preparing
for sea. e
AN AWFUL RETRIBUTIoN.-Some last
spring a company of Pixies Peakers leftGray-
vile, Illinois, for the Kansas gold regions.
While travelling through the Indian country
on their way out, one of the company, young
man of desperate character, from the vicinity
OF GRANVILLE named Haynes, declared his de-
termination to shoot the first Indian he met
and unhappiiy, during the day they overlook
on the prairie defenceless squaw, when he,
in mere wicked wantonness, ieyeled his gun
and shot her dead.
His companions were horror-stricken at the
blood thirsty deed, but felt that they had nc
power to punish him. The tribe to which the
suuaw belonged was not far distant when the
deed was perpetrated. They discovered her
Hfeless body. and saw at once the manner OF her
death. They pursued the party of Illinois
Pixies Peakers and in few hours oyertook
them and demanded to know VINO had commit'
mitted the murder
The company of five or six Peakers found
themselves surrounded by nearly two hundred
enraged Indians, who threatened to immediate
the whole party If they did not point out ano
give up the murderer. To save their own lives
they gave up Haynes to their vengeance. lie
was taken by the Indians to distance, while
his companions tarried on their route TO SET
what would be his fate.
After q while the Indians returned with theil
victim literally fayed aiire. They had SKINNED
him from head to foot The wretched beint
was still alive when brought back to ms com.
panions, but in torments. He lived In agony
long enough to tell how he had been tortured
but was soon released by death from unspeaka'
BILE sufierings.
