The experiment of a legalized eight
hour system will soon be tried. The
eight hour law which was recently
passed by the Illinois Legislature will
90 into effect on the First of May, and
;he result of it's operation will be look
ed for with much interest throughout
the country. Upon its success in that
state will probably depend the passage
of kindred laws in other States. 1t it
he found 10 work satisfactorily there,
only a short time vii! elapse before tho
eight hour system will be legalized in
all the other States. There is some
doubt, however, about its successful
oneration in Illinois. The employees in
Chicago have lately held several meet
ings in which they resolved to en-
plny workingmen only by the hour.
The latter class are strenuOusly opposed
10 this arrangement, and It is generally
expected that rupture will occur when
the new system shall come into opera
lion. The Illinois eight hour law SIM
ply provides that eight hours shall con-
titutes days work, in the absence Oh
4 special contract.

Of . Romantic honnR
GirI-she Assumes Male Attire, and
Starts for q snilor. Boy.

Quite a romantic affair came to light
in Jersey City few evenings since, a
young and buxum girl from the "Sister'
State having run away from home,
donued male attire, with the intention
of becoming sailor-boy, the result OF
reading dime novels, The story runs as
follows: Ida d. Albert, aged seventeen
years, a rather pretty, robust, but
unsophisticated female, whose head
had become filled with romantic
ideas, in consequence of reading dime
novels, concluded to leave home and
venture the perils of the sea, under the
guise of male attire. Accordingly, on
Monday week ago, she helped herself
to $500 of her parents money, and left
her home, near Minneapolis, Illinois,
for New York. Arriving at Annapolis
she purchased suit of clothes, and af-
ter having her hair cropped short, dom
ned the male attire. She then took the
cars for New York, arriving in the owl
train on Monday morning, At the foot
of Courtlandt street she called hack
man, and desired to be taken TO hotel.
The hackman accordingly conveyed
her to the Hubert Street House,
kept by Mr.. Thomas j. Prendeville.
Yesterday morning lady in the hotel
detected the sex of the young woman,
and gave information to the proprietor
of the house. Prendeville had con-
versation with the girl, and succeeded
in dissuading her from her purpose, and
she accepted their advice to return to
her home. She accordingly assumed
female attire, and last evening was ta-
ken to the Erie Railway depot in Jer-
sey City for the purpose of taking the
eIpress train home. After being seat
ed in the car by Prendeville and others,
Detective Fugent had his attention
called to the girl by person who sus-
pected something wrong. The officer
went in the car began and conversation
when Prendeville came in again and, as
is alleged, conducted himself in an in.
solent manner. The officer exhibited
his shield, but Prendeville continuing
biz Interference he was thrust out OF
the car. The girl having considerable
money in her possession, and the officer
fearing that there were designs agains,
her took her to tho police ststion fol
safety, from whence she will be for
warded to her home. The girl is salts
fed with her adventure, and expresses
a desire to return to her home. Sh,
tsays, 81 reckon I've been q bad girl
bnt no harm has come to me.'-WoTtd

rows of cushioned stools of the best up
lholstering, and shelves whose mould
ing, carving and polish are almost as
attractive as the elegant fabrics they
contain. The frescoing Of the walls
and ceiling, which must be seen to, be
appreciated, is a superior specimen Of
workmanship, and was, we believe, the
first of the kind in any business house
Of the city.
In the rear of the sales room q consid-
cradle space is set apart for q cloak
room, in which may be found large
stock Of cloaks, shawls and similar arti.
cles of Ladies' and Misses wear. Here
also are displayed upon figures adapted
to the purpose, many articles of dress
goods of all kinds and grades. The up
per rooms will be the manufacturing
department, in which will be made up,
expressly for this house, everything in
the line Of Cloaks and Mantillas. This
department will be leading and
prominent part Of the establishment.
Since it would be impossible to par
ticularize the many varieties and grades
of goods sold by Messrs. RHODES g. Co.,
we may say, in general that they deal
largely in Foreign and American Dry
Goods, and that special attention is
paid to all kinds of Ladies Dress Goods.
In this line, We were shown very ex-
tensive and elegant lot Of fine Silk
Grenadines, just received, and believed
to be the largest assortment ever
brought to this city. All of the pat
terms are of the best quality, and many
are tKu,. exquisite. Our lady readers
should not fail to examine them. We
may state here that the house has a
buyer In New York, through whom
supplies are regularly received. In
House Furnishing Goods, the line is
complete, consisting of all qualities
of table linen, napkins, towel
ing and other goods belonging to
this branch of the stock. The assort-
ment of English Hosiery for ladies ana
gentleman is also very extensive, and
the stock of Gloves of all kinds is well
selected. In the stock of Lace Curtains
are some of the finest articles ever
brought to this market. They IA nge in
price from So to $50 per pair. The as
sortment of Boys Wear, consisting of
cassineres and other similar goods, is
very large, and of the best make and
selection.
Many other items of this large
and we'll arranged establishment are
worthy of notice, but We must forbear
with tke suggestion that buyers should
look for themselves and realize, as they
assuredly will, that the half has not
been told them. We had almost forgotten
to say that the house is heated by q
new aud very superior kind Of Hot Air
furnace, AMI shat it is lighted through
the roof by neat skylight. We think
this building and stock would well re-
pay examination, and we therefore COM
mend them to the consideration of our
readers. From the head of the estab-
lishment down the gentlemen of this
house are prompt, attentive and oblig-
ing, and will spare no effort to satisfy
and to please.

The Radicals appear to be more con.
eerped about which party the blacks at
the South are likely to vote with than
70 secure the improvement of the blacks
intellectually or physically. But few
days ago they declared the negroes un-
Ssfc among the whites, and that it re-
ouired the army and Freedmep,s Bureau
to protect them-now they say the
whites are leading the blacks astray by
aattery and indulgence. 1t is not the
perfect emancipation of the blacks the
whites care for, or the security to them
Of their civil rights and equality in all
r,srects-but, their rote.. Radical phi

able. and the negro is saint or a sim
ner, with Radicals, according to his
