duction that must be felt for many
months after the strike is over.

TO that class of people, among whom
we may reckon Americans generally,
whose gregarious tendencies do not
tempt them to take common quarters
by night and day with their neighbors,
the domestic life of the japanese will
not offer great attractions. 1t may be
good economy, in view of the high price
of lodgings ut most first class hotels,
for one married pair to sleep on the
mattress In one corner, another pair on
the feather bed in on opposite corner,
aud half dozen youngsters wherever
they can spread their mats, while the
bedstead serves for table, but 1t GER
tainly is not good taste, according to
American ideas. If reporter of the
New York Times who has visited the
private quarters of the Japanese troupe
in that city is to be relied upon, this is
about the style in which they conduct
their domestic affairs, while the make
up of their dress Is in many cases more
cool than modest. But as custom is
edly no Offense to the "mOSt fastidious"
Japanese.
The Des Moines (Towa) Register comes
pretty near knowing of an expression
of political opinion by General Grant.
Not long since its informant was the
occupant of n seat in a railway car, di-
rectly behind Generals Grant and
Stoneman. During the journey an in
dividual in the car got intensely excited
on the subject OF politics, and in the
hearing OF nearly all the passengers
was cutting up Andrew johnson as he
deserved. General Grant listened with
rapt attention to his inflammatoTy de-
nuncintton, and, in the most exciting
portion of it, turned his head slowly
toward Stoneman and-lCinked!
A recent issue of the LocG Times
prints the following mysterious but ex-
pressive paragraph: 1--WE are favored
this week with several marriage no.
tees not creditable to those who SOL
emnized them. Justices and parsons
who will unite boys with women old
enough to be their mothers ought to be
sent to the devil by telegraph"
We take from the New York o.
Serrer the following very excellent
stanza, relative to the returning of bor-
rowed books. 1t is from the pen of the
late Jos. P. Engles, Esq, of Philadel-
phia, a gentleman of good judgment,
strict principals and rare literary ac-
Quirements. These lines come with
good grace from the pen of Mr.. Engles,
who always practiced whatever he
preached:
"This book belongs to Mr.. -,
II thou art borrowed by u friend,
Right welcome shall he be,
To read, to study, not to lend,
But TO return TO me;
Not thatimparted know ledge doth
Diminish Learnings store;
But books, tind, II often lent,
Return to me no more.
"Read slowly; pause frequently;
think seriously; keep cleanly; return
duly, with the corners of the leaves
not turned down.

MIR. CHARLES READE, it appears, has
actually commenced his threatened ac-
tion against the Round Tube for its re-
view of the novel Griffith GuuMt. Ac-
COrding to the Pail Hall Gasctte, the
complaint covers fOrty-four pages of
foolscap, land if pasted together end to
end, would be fifteen yards long" In
such space we may well assume that
a practiced writer like Mr.. Chas. Reade,
has done himself ample Justice We
shall not attempt to PREJUDICE this case,
which, il the pleadings be commensu-
rate with the record, is likely to last as
long as Chancery suit; but in the in-
terests of literature we cannot avoid
acknowledging our regret that the suit
was ever undertaken. An author of
Mr.. Reade's reputation ought to be able
to stand the hottest furnace of criticism
without losing his temper or seeking
to add to the literary scandals of the
day. Mr.. Reade has mt all times claim
ed and exercised the utmost freedom
OF expression in prOnouncing his opin-
ion upon the writings and acts of others,
and in one of his novels he is more than
suspected of having done great wrong
to the character of a public official. X
man who hits hard must not be sur
prised, and ought not TO be angry, if
he is hit hard by some one else. Criti-
cism, if it is unjust, should be redress
ed, but it is best corrected by the voice
and influence of public opinion. This
plan of actors and authors bringing
actions for libel will never answer. II Is
not long since that an actor in London
sued a theatrical paper for damages be-
cause it was not sufficiently Gompli-
mentary to his performances. Persons
in public professions deliberately chal-
leDRe the ODinioOS Of fha community
and if those opinions are sometimes un-
palatable, they have no right to COM
plain. Either they should cease to APP
peal to the world, or make their skin
less sensitive to the arrows ofcriticism.

man 1UhO has accumulated a I0rtune, or
cUen a respectable competency by his per-
SOndL efforts, lrho has achieved ii on the
labor Of eight hours per day. Ask any
man who has worked his way up in
the world, in any industrial pursuit,
how many hours he has labored, and
the answer will be, twelve. fourteen or
even sixteen. The writer hereof knows
hundreds of men who commenced life
with scarcely shilling that are now
esteemed wealthy, who wrought with
hands and head for the first dozen or
score years, nearly twice eight hours
every secular day. Had they restricted
themselves to eight hours they would
still be scratching poor mems heads"
The secret of their success consisted in
following out Franklin's advice of
earning all they could and saving all
they could. 1t was by hard work and
economy that they were enabled to get
their start; and when they had accumu-
lated n little capital, instead OF burying
or squanderiug it, they invested it i'll
earn more capital. In this way they
climbed up the ladder.
1t Is true that some have acquired
riches by other methods than that of
toll and economy; for instance, by in
venting valuable patent; or by the
rise in the value of real estate which they
happened to buy when 1t was cheap; or
by lucky speculatiOns in trade; or by
marrying an heiress or falling heir to
a rich mans estate; or by finding q
gold mine; or by striking oil before tho
price went down. But for every man
who has made his pile in any OF these
ways there are len others who have &C.
quired competence by the dint of
"hard knocks" and strict economy.
And the. same pathway which led them
to fortune is equally accessible to all
other young men who possess the forti-
tude and enterprise to travel it as they
have done. But wealth will never be
obtained by tstrikes," or by treating
employers as enemies to be crushed
out; or by spending considerable
portion of each days earnings on
liquor, segars, and "amusements" So
called. The short cuts to wealth are
Over-crowded, and where one succeeds
in grnsping the prize fifty fail; but on
the long and sure road to competency
and independence, there is plenty Of
room and opportunities for all those
who possess the self-denial and resoIu-
tion to journey thereon. The best and
most useful advice we can offer to la
boring men is to "strike" for that road,
and not at those who are travelling it.

The eight hour difficulty in Chicago
is not yet settled, and business remains
almost at standstill. The Republican,
which makes itself workingman's
organ, declares that every man that
resumes work under the old system is
booked, and n moral suasion committee
appointed to wait upon him, and in
nine cases out of ten they convince
these backsliders Of the error OF their
ways. The Republican also pronounces
false the reports that the railroad shops
and many large manufacturing estab-
lishments have found plenty of men to
work on the old basis (tsn hours) and
declares that "not only hive all the
railroad companies, who engage the
bulk Of the men, made continued and
persistent overtures for their return up
TO the present time, but what is more,
there are not dozen men at work in
all the chops, out OF thousands usually
employed. Tho difficulty is certainly
a serious one for all parties concerned,
and will cause loss in time and pro-

GREAT REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING In
LEXINGTON, DAVIDSON COUNTY.


On Thursday the 9Th, the Republicans of
Davidson, Randolph, Davie, Forsyth and
sister Counties, to the number, as judged by
honest observers, of between eight and ten
thousand, assembled in the town of Lexing-
ton, to discuss the best means for the general
good of our good old State and common
country.
At about II o'clock line of procession
was formed in the main street over half
mile long, and so feet wide, headed by three
bands of music, Chris. Pickles celebrated
string band taking the lead, and marched to
to beautiful grove situated half mile
from town, where the speakers stand with
the great flag of the Union" futtering in
the breeze over it, had been handsomely pre-
pared.
The day was fine, and although threatened
at intervals by the distant thunder, and
few struggling clouds merely enough to keep
off the rays of old Sol, only enough rain, in
the shape of a mist, or heavy dew was per-
smitted to descend at the close OF the exer-
cises to lay the dust.
This large and anxious assembly was call
ed to order by Fl. Adams, Esq, and on mo-
ton, the Rev. Jas. A. Chresfield, colored,
opened the meeting by prayer suited to the
occasion.
81. Adams was unanimously elected Pres
ident; Rev. j. A. Chresfeld, Vice President
and A. L. Watson and Lewis Hester, color
ed, Secretaries.
After few Introductory remarks by the
President, Mr.. Jas. h. Harris, colored. of Ra-
leigh was introduced and entertained the
audience for two hours, in one of the most
chaste. ELOQUENT and instructive speeches
that it has ever fallen to the good people of
Davidson to hear. And here, Messrs. Ed
itors, 1 feel like laying down nv pen. for /
well know that 1 can not do Justice to the
subject. Iwould simply state that he DOR
