The New York Workingmen's Union
met on Friday evening and discussed
several important matters with refer
euce to the interests of the working
classes. A committee, appointed to
consider the question of starting a
workingmen's newspaper in New York,
reported that they had conferred with
several gentlemen of newspaper expe-
rience, and had estimated the cost of
starting a weekly paper of eight pages
at 5000. 1t was thought to start a
daily would require capital of at least
500, 900. The committee thought that a
weekly paper could be started without
difficulty, and that this would in time
open the way for a daily = 1t was pro-
posed to make the papera a devoted ad-
vocate Of the interests of the working
men, and at the same time desirable
family newspaper. The eight-hour
question was discussed, and various
the course OF one address, the speaker.
who was Chicago mechanic, said that
the working people of the West were
"boundto have eight hours in spite OF
everything" and that Buffalo and Ro-
chester were alive to the eight-hour
movement. He added that sit was the
reverse in New York. 1t was hard TO
find an eight-hour man there" The
eIght-hour labor system, which went
into operation in California last Mon
day, was inRugurated by procession
of workingmen. in San Francisco, but
the result of the law is not yet an
nounced.
In Rochester, what is known as the
Equitable Cooperative Foundry
Company" has filed papers of incor-
pOraliOn at the County Clerks Office.
The company have purchased the EoY-
city Works in that city for $40, 600, and
propose to. convert the building to. the
branch of business for which they have
organized. 1t is u stock company, and
it is the intention to have the mechaD-
les who are employed there, own stock
in the company. This movements
designed to enable the workiugmen to
receive the benefit OF their own labor.
1t is reported from Boston that man
ufacturer of that city lately remarked
that he had in his employ thirty girls,
whom he did not pay as much wages
astheir board amounted 10. He was
asked how he supposed they managed
to live. "Oh, said he, ''they are sharp
enough for that" Such people as these
have a terrible responsibility upon
them for the starvation, or perhaps
ruin, OF the poor girls they employ.

The Barbarlsms of the chicago Bar


Two ojourneymen BARRIERS were heard
the other day talking about their bust.
ness, and comparing profits; their con
versation contained some facts which
will bear noticing. Itappears that they
retain one-half of the amount which
they receive for their work, and ten pei
cent. in addition on all sales of oil
pomade, Perfumery, &c, &c, which
they succeed in etfecting. Consequent.
ly it is for their interest to induce theiI
customers to disburse as much money
as possible, and the degree of skill OF
persisteucy or impudence which they
display, is the test of their pecuniary
success. This anxiety to drive large
business results often in annoyance
and impertinehce towards customers,
who are bored with recommendations
OF various quack compounds, useless OF
injurious, for oOloring or restoring OF
dressing the hair, or of the dozens OF
other notions connected with the adoru-
ment of head or body which fill the
showcases OF these establishments.
Sometimes the remarks of these
tonsOrial professors take the form OF
an insult, though perhaps not so intend
ed as for instance when they remark
TO a customer that his collar looks as ii
it had been worn long enough, or that
his head Is very dirty and needs sham
pooling, DO, their interest resulting not
from benevolent desire to improve
his appearance, as the customer may
be disposed to think; but from anxiety
to make handsome commission out
OF his verdancy. Another nuisance is
the Officious brushing of the customers g
coat, whether he desires 1t or no, for
which service quarter or dime is
expected and silently hinted at in a
way to make him feel that it would be
small to refuse it. The very free charges
which are made for the few minutes
spent manipulating ones head, ought
to suffice, without an additional fee.
In most cities of Europe there is a
great contrast to the prices charged by
BARRIERS here. The price for shaving is
about three cents, for hair cutting four
cents, and oiling m additional cent.
In any except the most fashionable
places, six cents for shaving or hair
cutting is the highest rate. There is,
however, no general complaint against
the charges INDUCED in here, provided
they are not accompanied by imposi-
tions such as have been mentioned.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Star says: u
at appears to me that the French,
especially since the last few years, at
tach much more Importance to eating
and drinking than do the English.
Most of the finest establishments on
the Boulevards are cafes or restaurants,
and at the Exposition the whole ex-
terror circle is occupied by eating
houses, wherein fifty thousand pairs OF
jaws absorb daily about 5O,OOOf worth
of meat, vegetables, and drinks OF va
vious sorts. l rls f
ia Frenchman does not eat much,
but he's fond of tit-bits. He eats more
for the sake Of tasting than through
greediness. He has the appetite, but
his constitution does not permit his
satisfying 1t as his forefathers were
able TO do. All, they knew how tn eat!
Who among us would not deserve the
appellation of 0urGes given by Cicero
to good eater? Who could per form
the feat accomplished by Milo, who,
having killed an OK with blow OF his
fist, devOured it in less than twenty
four hours2 gE
Who could initiate the noble example
set Oy fnaRoni VINO, having peen asked
to dinner by the Emperor Aurelian,
afforded his Majesty the curious specta-
Gle of devouring wild boar, a sheep, u
sucking pig, and drinking, meantime,
an orca of wine2 No, certainly, we are
not worthy of our forefathers; and
therefore it is absurd to accuse the pres.
ent generation of being gourmands.
When one recalls the three hundred
dining rooms of Lucullus, the Salon
d'ApOllo, where each repast cost the
purchase money of II province; when
one remembers the six hundred ostrich
heads eaten at single meal. by Hello
gabalus, or that huge dish of birds
livers which eight slaves could scarcely
carry, one feels u certain compassion
for the eating capabilities OF our present
race. The vast belt of restaurants
which encircles the Exhibition, only
appear as a series of establishments
worthy of race of Lilliputians.

In your issue of yesterday l hud a
statement to the effect, that while the
New School General Assembly voted
almost unanimously in favor of the re-
port Of the Joint Committee, recon-
mending the union of the two bodies,
the Old School Assembly opposed the
union by a vote of IA to 63.
In the Old School Assembly, the re-
port of the Joint Committee was placed
in the hands of special committee OF
seven. This committee brought in two
reports: A majority report. signed by
five OF its members, recommending the
continuance OF the Joint Committee,
the publishing of its report, without
any change, commenting il to the con-
sideration of the whole Church, and
making provision for further report
to the next General Assembly.
The minority report recommended
certain instructions to the Joint Com
mittee; and this report was tabled by a
vote of IA to 63,-or, which is probably
more correct, by 13s to 6I,-while the
majority report was adopted by a vote
almost unanimous. In SO doing, the
Assembly neither expressed approval
nor disapproval of the proposed terms
of Union, but only submitted them to
the consideration of the Churches and
Presbyteries. .-. -.. L.

Like all things, however, jackets are

has seen humping up and down the
Steyne, at Brighton, on their great
chargers, with a lace and embroidered
coat, cartridge box, or whatever you
call 1t, of the size of two penny loaf,
placed on the small of their backs-if
their backs may be said to have small

tails pointing downward to the enor-
nifty joltlng in the saddle. Officers
should be occasionally measured, and
after passing certain width, should
be drafted into other regiments, or al

One meets with some men who look
in their frock coats perfectly sordid,
sneaking and ungentlemanlike, who, il
you see them dressed for an evening,
have slim, easy, almost fashionable
appearance. Set these persons down as
fellows of poor spirit and milk-sops.
Stiff, white ties and waistcoats, prim
straight tails, and gold chain, will
give any man of moderate lanBiness an
air of fictitious gentility; but If you
want to understand the individual,
look at him in the daytime; see him
walking with his hat on. There is a
great deal in the build and wearing Of
hats, great deal more than at first
meets the eye. l know a man who, in
particular hat, looked so extraordi
narily like a man OF property, that no
tradesman on the earth could refuse TO
give him credit. 80

A Journalist worth Knowing.

I see in the New York papers the an
nouncement of the retirement, amid
universal regret, of Miss Madeline Hen
riques from the stage. II report speaks
truly, she must be charming, indeed;
and from all accounts, IL the bride
groom ought to be congratulated, can
say from this side OF the water that the
bride may congratulate herself also
upon her approaching marriage with a
man of signal ability, who, If the fates
are propitiOus, has career before him.
Mr.. Jennings is, OF course, well known
in America as the correspondent of the
London Times. But / heard an anec-
-dOte of his ability the other day, which
is, in my opinion, one of the most ro-
mantle in the history of journalism.
Two years before Mr.. Jennings went TO
America, he was asked by the proPrie-
tor of the leading paper in
East India to go out and take
charge of it on the spot for one
year, in the absence of the reg
ular editor. He set out at a moments
notice, learned what he required of the
native language on his way out, took
charge of a new paper concern with all
the questions of a continent absolutely
new to him, in all its details, and car
ried shis tasks triumphantly through,
through fever, cholera, and the cyclone.

should also learn that Miss Kate Terry,

THE New York EUsniag Post gives a
summary of the steps taken in Kansas
in favor OF universal suffrage, and a
statement of the condition of the move
ment in that State. Last winter, an
amendment was proposed by the legis-
lature to strike out the word ''white"
from the constitution, followed by an
other amendment to strike out the word
tmaIe." Both amendments passed by
large majorities, and are now before
the people for their action. On the ID
of April a mass convention assembled
at Topeka, and organized an Impartial
Suffrage Association, which has since
been occupied in vigorously canVassing
the State, with Lucy Stone, Mrs. STAN
ton and other popular speakers- Four
teen newspapers support the movement
and five eppose il, while the remainder
are undecided. The reform is upheld
by ministers of all denominations, and
by politicians of all parties, though
more generally by republicans than
democrats, -Tte meetings TO be held
before the vote is taken are very nu-
merous, and Carl Schurz, President
Horner, OF Baker University, and other
prominent speakers from Missouri are
TO canvass the State 9 Ths vote Is to
take place on the 9Th OF NOvember, and
the friends of the amendments believe
that both will be carried.

THE Government of England has now
modified its bill for taking possession
of all the telegraphic lines in thatcoun-
try, to proposal to take only those
lines which desire to sell, and it is pre-
sumed they will find enough to buy.
The lines are to.be made a department
OF the Postoflce, and will be extended,
changed, enlarged or contracted in Or
der TO adapt them to the business The
proposed tariff is one shilling, or TWEEN
ty-tive cents, for twenty words, any dis
tance-delivery within mile of the
station, free, Every post town having
1000 population will be a telegraphic
station. All postofhces in England are
10 be depots for the deposit of messages,
which are sent to the nearest station TO
be dispatched. In London the facility
for sending telegraph messages will be
equal to that OF mailing letters.
Prepaid dispatches may be deposit
ted in pillar boxes all over the
city, from which they will be collected
as letters are now, and sent by tele-
graph. 1t is estimated that the num-
Der of messages will equal the number
ofletters now sent by mail. Underso
high tariff the messages will be con-
fined to thoses which are important.
Even penny tariff like that upon let
ters would not induce people to super
cede the mail for communications of a
strictly private nature, unless some ge-
MUS should devise a method of trans
hitting and at the same time conceal
ing the contents Of message even
from the operator-without, of course,
the use OF cipher, method now en-
ployed to a considerable extent, but
which would prove inconvenient and
impracticable for the masses. The ex-
pertinent will shortly be tried in this
country, We Judge, from the statements
in regard to the Western Union Tele-
graph Copmany.
