I'd. That we fully approve of the re-

force the rules by which Boss cam
not employ more than two apprentices,
nor work on his own job.
Resolved, That the above resolution
embraces the vital question now at issue.
Its spirit is the spirit of right, justice
and humanity. The question of So per
day for eight or ten hours work is one
of little moment compared with the
great interest involved in the fact that
we need more labor. The country needs
more labor, and certain men have con-
federated themselves together and SAID
the country shall not have more labor.
Resolved, That in future we pay our
men at such places as we may consider
best and that we shall no longer be
compelled to pay our men on the JOB"
as heretofore.
Resolved, That we shall rs far as
practicable, pay our men on the JOB, 1T
being mutual advantage to each par
ty, but we shall not be compelled to %
measure by which one party receives all
the benefits; while the other suffers all
the inconvenience. If any man leaves
our employ through our action on the
above resolution, that we will not en-
ploy such men after due notice has been
given of the same.
Resolved, That committee of three
committees of three from the various
trades, to take action on this question.
One of the speakers in abiding to the
inordinate demands of the Workmen
and to their understandable interference
with the rights of others, said: IF a
body of men in this free country can
force man to stop work and leave his
wife and children to starvc, we might
as well live under tyrant at once"
The Chinese have been kept quite
busy since their return from Washing
ton. The grand dinner at Delmonico's
was decided success in every respect,
and gave the visitors q very exalted
idea of our best cook shop. They were
much pleased with the speeches of Dud-
| ley Field, Horace Greeley, Arson Bur-
lingame, and others, although they UNI
derstood not one word of any of them;
and shook hands cordially with every
body, even with Mr.. Demonico's well
| trained automatons who wait on the
table. This courtescy took the walters
by surprise. They stood and gazcd as
the visitors went forth, and for aught
know to the contrary are standing and
gazing yet like so many statues of men
gorgonized into q state of absolute
quiesence and immortality. On Fri
day the Chinese Embassy inspected A
7. Stewards great stores on Broadway
and dined at Mr.. Stewards Fifth Az
enue mansion, with Gen. Burnside
Moses Grinnell, and few other invi
ted guests. Tomorrow Mr.. Burlin

dine with Mr.. Duncan, the banker.

HIGfr SENSE OF HoNoR,-John Dab
ney, colored man in Richmond, Va,
purchased his freedom from Mrs. Dejar-
nette of Hanover, Va, just before the
war, for $2000 agreeing to pay the
amount by installments During the
tendency of the struggle he paid about
one-half of it in Confederate currency,
which was at last so deprecated in value
that his late mistress requested him to
discontinue the payments until the
close of the conflict. When slavery
was abolished the debt was of course no
longer due; but, Notwithstanding he
was advised against such course, Dab

tress, now in INDECENT circumstances,
5000 in greenbacks, being the balance of
the $1,000 he had contracted to pay.

How to Treat Balky Horses.

lfyou have balky horses it's your
own fault and not the horses, for
if they do not pull true, there is
some cause for it, and if you will
remove the cause, the effect will
cease, When your horse ballls, he
is excited and does not know
what you want him to do. When
he gets a little excited, stop him five
or ten minutes let him become
calm; go to the ballly horse, pat
him, speak gently to him; and as
soon as he is over his excitement,
he will in nine cases out of ten, pull
at the word. Whipping and slash
ing and swearing only makes the
matter worse. After you have gen
tied him little, and his excitement
is over, take him by the bits turn
him each way, a few minutes, as
far as you can pull out the tongue;
gentle him a little; unrein him :;
then step before the balky horse,
and let the other one start first
then you can take them wherever
you wish. A balky horse is always
high spirited and starts quick; half
the pull Is out before the other starts.
BY standing before him the other
starts first. BY close application to
this rule, you can make any baIky
horse pull. If n horse has been
badly spoiled, hitch him to an emp
W wagon, and pull it around on
level ground; then put on a little
load, and increase it gradually, ca
ressing as before, and in a short
time you can have q good work
