IS New York this LabOrers' Society
have begun a movement to prevent the
employment of non-society hands, and
fine all members who work with nom
society hands, a dollar day. The
Bricklayers' Society in New York re-
ports 500 members in good standing.
The Brooklyn bakers on Saturday
evening had discussion on the subject
of strikes and from the addresses made,
1t is gathered that the bakers do not
now contemplate any strike, either for
more wages or less labor. The recent
stoppage OF train on the Chicago and
Great Eastern Railway by unpaid rail
road hands, we learn by mai, was done
in a most orderly manner. No one
was injured, and the engine and mail
cars were allowed to proceed, while the
passenger cars were stopped; 100 men
were engaged in the movement and
some OF them bad received no pay for
five months. They declared that no
passengers or freight should pass over
the road until they were paid. The
stoppaGe took place at Logansport; In
diana. As nothing has been heard of
trains being stopped on this road since
this. which occurred on July 1lth, IL is
probable that the authorities have in
terfered for the protection of the rail-
road company.

BILLIARD TABLES are hereafter to be
used in the British army, $500, 900 in
gold having recently been appropriated
by Parliament TO supply these tables to
the army officers in the various bar
racks throughout the world. In Par
lament the arguments used for the sp-
preparation were that British officers
were very badly paid, and, therefore,
ought TO have the means sofamusemant
afforded them as relaxation from their
aTduous duties, and 10 prevent them
from seeking excitementaud recreation
at other places, and in more objection
able ways.

THE Texas Ramchero, of the I'd, has
letter from San Luis Potosi, of June q,
from correspondent. He says that
when the Emperor was on trial he was
asked: Are you willing to acknowl-
edge that you are responsible for all
that has occurred in Mexico since the
evacuation of the country by the
FrenchH He replied: No! I am not
the responsible party; on the contrary,
President Juarez is the person upon
whom the responsibility rests. After
the French had left, dispatched mes
senger to Juarez, and proposed TINT he
grant a general amnesty and give full
DarClon to all persons that had identt-
lied themselves with me and the 1mpe-
rial cause. This JuareZ refused to do,
and no other course was left for me
than to remain and do all that could
for the protection OF a large portion OF
the Mexican people. This resolve
shows u man OF honor, and covers him
with more glory than he ever could
have obtained by following out the plan
of Napoleon. This correspondent says
that both Escobedo and Trevino owed
their lives to Miramon and Mejia, and
could have saved those of the latter II
they had asked for it, but that they
were the most active In causing them
to be shot

CENTRAL ASIA and its affairs seldom
come under the eye OF an American
reader. The Russians in Bokhara are
carrying on war against the govern
ment of that country, but though the
wsr is bloody and has continued good
while, the Khan seems to be match for
the Gar. The Khan is now sending
ambassadors to the British Government
in India to try and get British aid
against Russia. The French are gradu-
ally conquering Cochin China. Whilst
Russia and France have to resort to
bIoodshed to extend their boundaries,
Great Britain is doing the same thing
by the cheaper and better means of di-
plomacy. The Kingdom ofBermudah,
il is said, will soon be annexed to Brit
jSh India

THE reports received at the Depart
ment of Agriculture concerning the
grain crop just harvested. generally
agree that the crop has turned out ex-
ceedinRIy well. The yield to the acre
has not been quite so large as was ex-
pected, and some state that n little
damage was done by the wet weather
in causing sprOuting and rust; but ow-
ing to II much greater area having been
plHItsd, tine supply Of grain Will be
sufficiently large TO meet the great want
Of the poCpic. But few reports have
been rtcai' from the Northern, East

are favuru BILE.

his eyes were larger than the bulls eye of any
locomotive you ever say; the eye winkers be-

but after be was shot he ran 800 miles before
he fell. The men that [ sent after him followed
in the stream of his blood in a common Indian

because no buffalo OF the same size had been
shot here Tor several years. i have preserved
his bones, and bought large tract of land to
stretch his skin over, so that can dry it. The
