ASTOUNDING DIsCovERY.-Some four or five
shoemakers, calling themselves an association,
have made the wonderful discovery that there is
liking" in our midst, [ses Rock Island ARGUS
of Feb. is, 1867
o. wonderful discovery, o what wise men
surely future generations will rise up and
call you blessed. Then they propose to show
to the good people of Rock Island and every
body else that this King is great tyrant, dis
regarding the interests OF his subjects, a., &c.
Now, we; ;the journeymen ehoemakcrs working
for A. j. Swanson, wish to show to the sMes
chanics of Rock Island and surrounding towns"
that this "would-bs King is not such a mon-
ster or tyrant, as the so-called association wieh
to make him. Most Of the undersigned know
perfectly well that Mr.. Swanson has, since the
rebellion commenced, proposed an advance on
wages, from time to time, the association" to
the contrary notwithstanding The uudersign-
ed know that he [S~ansonl never said that he
would no: employ q man who sticks up for his
rights or for his wages but he said right to
the contrary, viz: 'I want the best work and I
will pay the best wages The so-called .'asso-
citation" goes on to say that ''we American
people are not used to such rule Kinglyl and
cannot submit to it," that is, those men thai
left Swanson's shop, three in number. 1--WE
Americana" Two of these Americans were
born and raised in Sweden aud the other one
was born and raised in Ireland OH we Amer
leans Theso-caled association says, eve they'll
are compelled to call Swanson's scab shop"
Do please be merciful, because some of you
know that your past has not been clear of
'.scab," "as we shoemakers term it." In con-
clusion we express a hope that this so-called
association, Numbering at the present time
only five men all told will, in the future, in
form the public, and the craft generally, how
the division came in the society, which caused
them to cal1 Swanson's ''scab shop and
until the so-called "associstion" will perform
that task we, the undersigned, in the employ
of A. j. Swanson, shall look upon the so-cailed
Association" as being the meanest of "scabs''
that we ever knew. WM. III. LEE,

TREssEs AND YOUNG WIDOWS. Ws.-That is a
melancholy custom in Russia cuttingott of
widows hair and burying it in the coffin of
her husband It evidently originated in the
jealousy of Russian lords who were determined
that their widows should not look interesting
until sufficient time had elapsed for the grass
to grow upon their graves. The custom insures
the most wachful care, in sickness as well as
the most profound grief when the partner of
woman's bosom is torn from her by death
Russian coincidence has a depth OF meaning
which we in America cannot appreciate. We
envy the happy sincerity which Russian. rea-
ilzes; he knows his wife hangs upon his exls-
,enee-as Absalom did on the tree--by the hair
of her head. She cannot look in the glass
without thinking of her husband and offering
a,prayer for his safety This insurcs HIM
place in her thoughts very frequently. ilhe
Russian custom is very excellent one.

GEN. ScHoFIELD AS A POLITICIAN, From
the last number of the Columbus (Ohio) Crisis,
we learn that Gen. Schoield, commanding the
district of Virginia, has recently wrlttena let
ter in which he says:
''The people Of Virginia mistake the real
significance of the Northern elections. The
people of Ohio are not voting against colored
suffrage in the South. They are only decla-
ing by their votes that Congress has no right to
impose it on them. .
In reply to these views of the General, the
Crisis says, forcibly and truly:
ut is Schofeld who mistakes the real signi-
fcance of the Ohio election. The issue inyol.
we'd therein was not whether Congress should
Impose colored suffrage on Ohio; but whether
negroes should have the right of suffrage at all;
and as to the opinion of the people upon this
subject we are authorized to refer to the fifty
thousand majority against it, The people OF
Ohio as clearly pronounced their decision
against colored suffrage everywhere, as they
ever pronounced their decision on any Ques-
tlon"
The letter of Gen. Schofeld, from which the
above extract is taken, was written, we. pre-
sumo, to influence the Michigan elections,
Which are now fast approaching g.-Lynch6urg
