HORACE GREELEY AND THE WORKING WOMEN.
The Northern Lights, a literary journal recent
y started in New York, tells the following
One winter night, not long ago, number of
gentlemen were in Mr.. Greeley's Office, waiting
to confer with him on a subject of some import
ance, when two women entered the room. They
were poorly clad in straw bonnets, calico gowns,
and faded worsted shawls, so thin as scarcely to
be any protection against the inclemency of the
weather. With his back to the door, the editor
was writing article for the morning paper
Finally it was finished, and ringing for a mes
senger TO convey it to the printer, he turned and
glanced at his visitors. The gentlemen had been
in waiting for half an hour, and were all known
to him but, giving them only casual attention,
he rose and said courteously to the women
" Ladies, what can do for you?''
One of them stepped timidly forward and ex-
planned their errand. They were employed in n
hoop-skrt factory, where the wOrkwomen had,
the day before, suspended work and demanded
increase of wages.
"What pay do you get? asked the editor.
"Three dollars and half a week." was the
timid answer.
"And how much of that goes for your board?';
'Three dollars"
''Do you mean to say that you have only fifty
cents week for clothes and other necessaries ~
"That is ALL" said the woman in faltering
'olceI E" ueep Husu oNersPio"uiaS noA 10"
Her look and tone, more than her words, told
her history The man read it, and in his quick
way said, It's a shame-a burning shame !
You want me to expose these men will do it.
They shall have n column in to-dav's paper"
Quickly dismissing his other visitors, the edit
or sat down again to his desk, and in the morn
ing the vampires who feast on the blood of star
wing women found, on their own breakfast ta-
bles, their own portraits, drawn in the strongest
of Saxon-English. On the eve of an important
election, when every line of space was needed
for political purposes, the Tribune gave col
umn to these humble workingwomen.
And Ibis has been its work, and this is the
character of its influence. ! have said what

1t has been more than once hinted that the
object of French intervention in Italy was
the trial Of the new Chassepot rife and
other improved arms, which Napoleon
has been preparing. So at least the lively
Paris correspondent of the New York Times
seems to think. Writing under date of Nov.
Is, he says: a,a
French glory has mounted this week to a
point beyond the reach of the longest telescope.
The Chdssepot rifles haze done soondersi The
breech-loaders have demolished the old flint
locks! In verify, who ever doubted it? The
brave Gen. de Failly put ON paper that time a
word tina. will become legendary. His zeal
overtopped his discretion. He ought to have
reeollected the cruel but discreet word of
Lamartine in the French Assembly: "Gentle-
men, beware of your first movement He
might well have said: 1T was glorious!
You ought to have seenitl There we were on
one side a magnificently trained, equipped and
fed army, with Chassepot guns and mysteri-
GUS, murderous little feid-piece, and on
the other side lot of half-starved ragged and
miserably armed volunteers, who stood up
bravely while we massacred them at our lei
sure. 1t was q magnificent demonstration of
the power of our new armsp'
So that beside the glory of this short, Sharp
and decisive campaign, the French have the
satisfaction of having frightened the Prussians

| shot at the Prussians, aud this invasion of the
| Garbaldians into the Roman States was inst

the "forlorn hope" of the army of Italian uni

| entifc demonstration, and to enable M. de Fail
| ly to send back joyous bulletins to his Govern
ment and a terrible advertisement to the peo-
| pie on the Rhine. Six hundred Gari5aidini
slaughtered, and only thirty on our side. The
Chassep0t guns have done wondersl"
The Chassepot guns did wonders; there is
no doubt OF it. when a company fired, the
noise OF the discharge was like the running
down OF clock: the noise of the balls in the
air was peculiar and terrifying. The paper
cartridges performed admirably. The rayages
of the balls in the bodies of the Garibaldians
| were frightfulp' Hear that, oh children OF
Luther, and tremblel
Then there was IA mysterious field-piece on
| trial for the first time against human target.
| Nobody is supposed to know the secret of this
terrible gun outside the French camp, and the
| papers at one time got so excited about it as to
| venture to invent the story that the Prussian
Ambassador, Count de Goltz, had been arrest
| ed at Vincennes in disguise, trying to steal the
| secret while the soldiers were practicing the
| gun! But this gun, for which the Prussian
Ambassador was supposed to have compromis-
ed his dignity, was probrbly the revolving disc
invention which has already been seen in the
United States.

There was warm discussion in the Honse
of Commons, the other day, on resolution
brought up by Mr.. Blake, challenging che
right of Cabinet ministers to occupy seats in
the House. Sir John A. Macdonald on the
part OF the government promised that the
matter should be made subject OF legislation,
thus virtually admitting the improperly OF the
practice.
In the Commons, recently, Mr.. Jones OF
Halifax asked whether the Canadian gov
ernment had taken means to ascertain the
views of the American government ON
the subject Of reciprocity treaty, and if
not, whether it is their intention to en-
deavor to secure its renewal. Also, in the
event of failing to secure. its renewal, what
course they intend adopting with reference to
the granting of licenses to American fisher
men. MIR. Carter answered that the govern
ment would take the first opportunity TO OBJ
tain renewal of the treaty.
The difficulty with ship carpenters at Que

its adjustment. The effect of it is likely to
be the ruin of the ship-building business for
