Communicated
ga sad Case of Bereavement"

To he Editor Of ne Pres. ,
Will you please allow me short space in
your columns TO reply to an article in yester-
day mornings Commercial, under the above
heading-which article attempts to throw
the responsibility of the death of three chill
dren upon the Typographical Union, by its
having prescribed the father of those chill
dren2 The truth in the case Is this; In 1868,
when the Union asked thirty-five cents per
thousand for composition, this man struck
with us, and held out for some time, drawing
on the Union to support himself and family,
but finally went to workin the Gazette office,
for thirty-three cents, Thereby forfeiting the
respect Of those who had previously contrib
uted to his support, where he remained until
he become 40 obnoxious that he was dis
charged by the foreman. Since then he has
been employed in various book offices in the
city, and some twelve or fifteen months since
made application. at the Commercial office,
IAN Office which does not recognize the Union,
and where its prescription" could not reach
him, both to Mr.. Potter and the foreman, and
| although the hands in the Office were willing
to give him subbing, the foreman positively
refused, on the ground that he ill-treated his
family. He has been employed most OF the
| time, however, and quit work in another
Office to take a situation on the Commercial
during the late difficulty, thus showing him
self ever ready to dishonor himself and as
sist capital in depressing labor.
That the death of those children is sad
bereavement to the mother, who is an atfec-
tionate and kind woman, there can be no
doubt; but that it very much grieves man
who would make the remark that "he was
glad when one of his children died, as il af-
forded him freer indulgence of his licen-
tiousness, and saved the expense of rearing
them" is very questionable. And | ask this
man. if he did not make this remark, only
clothed in more indecent and vulgar Ian
guage, some years since, and that too, while
one of his children was lying on the sick
bed?
The other portion of the article, referring
to the circular issued by the Union, is equally
false, as the circular does not state that the
present difficulty is one of wages. 1t is NOT
necessary to speak Of the motive which
prompted the sympathetic article in the Com.
mercial, suffice it to say, that it is for the pur.
pose of creating sympathy in its present diff
ficulty with the Union.

President Typographical Union.

THE RAGING FIRES OF VEsUvIUs-A late
letter from Naples says of Vesuvius The fires
of Vesuvius glow with as intense an energy
us ever, although the mountain is not at
present in violent eruption. The new fs-
sures at the base of the old cone are filled
with molten mass, which boils and rolls
out in a manner to strike terror into those
who approach near enough to fully take in
the awful grandeur of the scene. At night
the mountain appears to be gashed with fiery
scars, and by day it is seen to be mantled
with horrid black fords of lava, which stretch
for miles down its sides. The adventurous
travellers who now seek to make the ascent
are nearly discouraged by the formidable OBJ
structions which these masses oflava present.
Notwithstanding this, the mountain is every
day covered with parties eager to reach the

The CUSTOM OF BORROWING OF SERVANTS
PREVALENT IN PARIs.-A Paris letter-writer
says:
The practice of borrowing money from
servants is general here. A gentleman
momentarily needs comparatively small
sum OF money, and wishing to avoid making
valet or his cook, who are STEADY people"
and keep an account at the Savings Bank"
The terms are horribly usurious, but nobody
knows that Monsieur Prudhomme has been
short" And il has happened that Paris
ian gentleman thus borrowed from an old
servant three thousand francs, two-thirds Of
which had been stolen from himself, little by
little; subsequently so increasing the debt as
to be finally obliged to sell house, in order
to pay it Perhaps the numerous Americans
who carry capital French servants" across
the Atlantic with them, might do well tc
keep an eye on their proceedings.

TEA-DRINKING IN RUSSIA.

A correspondent of the Boston transcript
gives an interesting account of tea-drinking in
Russia. He says:
The visiter in ST. Petersburg will notice
among the pictorial embellishments of the
shop fronts, which are so singular in their ap
pearance, great many signs whereupon are
represented the Russian Samoyar, or tea urn,
and set of cups ard saucers or glasses. These
signify that the establishment is a tea house,
place largely patronized by the Russians Of
all classes.
The tea ofwhch they are so found is brought
overland from China; thus preserving, as they
claim, the peculiarly delicate flavor, which a
sea voyage is sure to destroy. 1t is very dear;
the finer kinds costing from five to fifteen dol
lars pound. AS a general rule, the black
teas preferred, although delicate green
is in high favor with many, at sixteen silver
rubes or about twelve dollars pound. There
is yellow tea at about the same price. which
has frighttul effect upon ones nerves-green
tea is a sedative compared with it. The bev-
erage, black, green or yellow, is drunk with
sugar, but without cream, slice of lemon be-
ing substituted, and the tea slipped by spoon
fuls.
You may find all grades of tca-houses in the
Russian cities, even to those in which the
poorest classes gather after their day IS work
is done. to refresh their wearied frames with
tie gentle stimulant. If you enter one of the
better class, you find large room, series
of rooms, with little tables, and, Invariably,
picture of the Virgin and Child, or saint,
covered with plate of gold, or silver gilt, SO
as to leave only the face, hands and feet visi-
BILE. Then you take your seat at of the
windows that look upon the streets, and order
your 'schi.'' The waiter brings portion of
tea in small teapot, plentiful supply of
hot water in another vessel, glasses instead of
cups, some slices of lemon and Jumps of sugar.
and then plate of rolls of paper and tobacco
for cigarettes.
The Russians drink their tea very weak
and the teapot is replenished with hot water
by native, until person accustomed to what
is called tea in England or America, begins
to find the flavor of the lemon preponderate
in his glass. Indeed, the drinking of strong
tea, at fifteen dollars pound is rather an ex-
pensive luxury. But the higher grades are
usually reserved for higher occasions. The
kinds in general use among the wealthy citi-
zens of st. Petersburg those averaging
about four roubles or three dollars pound
in the tea-houses still lower quality is used.

THE LADIES OF NEW York have organized a
sshearthstone club for discussing domestic
matters and bringing about necessary reforms
in housekeeping. They meet once month,
and at the last meeting, among other impor
tant subjects, discussion dolls took place.
One thought rag-baby as good as doll and
another, that as the doll was the child's idea
of the human, it should be beautiful so as not
to vtiate the child's taste; while the Presi-
dent suggested that 1t should be artistic i'll
form, ard denounced the shapeless monstrosi-
ties found in the market. After these impor
tant declarations of opinion, the ladies ad-
journed. AS advocates of the rights of our
own sex, we insist that they devote some at
tenton to masculine as well as feminine toys,
and at the next meeting we hope to hear what
they have got to say on hobby horses, tin
whistles and pop-guns.

THE scHooLMAsTER's IN THAT BED.

A correspondent of the New York Weekly
gives the following as one of the many Incl

Sucker State, and this particular term was

one of my little scholars stepped up to me and

which deprived me of seeing them that night.

OF the girls come home, and passing into the
adjoining room, was warming before some

room where lay, carefully undressed herself,
and coming to the side of the bed, prepared to
