RENEWAL OF THE STRIKES OF ENGLISH Op-
ERATIyEs:-The London papers state that
the building operatives are preparing for a
renewal of the "nine hours movement" and
fears are entertained that general strike is
at hand The operatives have addressed a
memorial to the association of MASTER
builders, in which they state that their agita-
tion will not cease until "the nine hours
boon" has been conceded. In this memorial
they say the operative builders hours of toll
are at least equal to the clerks and the
warehouseman's, the distance between his
home and his place of work is in general
longer, his right to mental improvement as
sacred, his needs greater, and the claims of
his family to his personal superintendent as
obvious and urgent" They tell the masters
that the determination to secure this ame-
lioration is too deeply rooted in their hearts
for any amount of resistance to turn them
from their purpose, and that the chief effect
OF any seventies to which they may be ex-
posed, in consequence of this demand, will
be To deepen their attachment to the cause
for which they have suffered, and to
strengthen their resolve to persevere in the
agitation until success has crowned their en-
deavofs.

describing the rare curiosities of some of the
private collections Of Paris says that in one

not the skull, but the dried head, with its
thin lips, its peaked beard, its delicate mus
tache-such as you see tho Cardinal repre-
sented in Philippe de Champagne's admir-
able portrait, which hangs in the Gallery of
the Louvre. The nose alone is injured by
the grave and by time: it is twisted toward
the left, and has slightly fallen upon the
cheek: What sarcasm has hazard expressed
in action by this severance of the head and
the body of the man who consigned so many
people to the scaffold His headless trunk
moulders away in the Church of the Ser
dome, which he built'for a family mausoleum
and where his family are to this day buried. Its
vaults contain the ashes of the celebrated
Marshal Duke de Richelieu, and the Duke de
Richelieu, the patriotic Minister of Louis
XVIII. A splendid monhment by Gifardon,
the sculptor, is to be seen there.

SUCCESS OF OAMELs IN THE SouTH.-The
experiments thus far with the camels intro
duced into Texas, and other parts of the
south, may be said to be successful. At first
it was supposed they could only he useful in

is deficiency of water. They could cross a
desert of hundred miles without water and
