oHARaED.-A New York letter, dated on Mon
day says:
The extensive carpet mandatory OF Massrs.
Higgins & Co., y-third-street, employing
about fourteen hundred hands, was the scene
of considerable excitement this morning, IN
consequence Of large number OF the employ
eos quitting work because their wages wore to
be reduced ten per cent, lowing to the stagna-
tion in trade" The operatives say that wages
arc already 30 low that they can hardly keep
their families from starving. The movement,
it is said, will include oil hands, though t.s yet
not more than about one-half refuse TO work.
Most of the large stesl and iron works in Vest
chester County, New York, are discharging
their hands. At the Mott Haven Iron Works,
usually employing one hundred and eighty
five men, only twenty-five are now at work. AT
Jones' Foundry, Mott Haven, Saturday night
fifty men were discharged.
The New York Times, OF Wednesday, says:
"The worlmen-nearly one thousand-em-
ployed in the railroad shops at Scranton, Pa,
were Yesterday notified that reduction of ten
per cent. on their wages would be male to-
day. The shops have recently been working
on eight-hour time. The proprietors CT the

The New York World, of Wednesday, shys:
ION last Saturday the Superintendent of
Prospect Park, under the direction Of the Park
Commissioners, discharged some seven hun
dred men. These men are now beseeching
their friends to have them reinstated, but this,
of course, cannot be done. The working gmen
see this and are anxiously watching the pro-
ceedlngs OF Congress, expecting relief. They

IL THE RENcONTRE.

The rules OF the Deaths Head Club required
their duels to be by candlalight, without sec
onds: the combatants were locked in the club
room till the victor gave the signal for the
doors to be opened. The colonel made no OBJ
lection to these restrictions. DE only smiled
haughtily when he saw the theatrical horrors
of the room.

good for nothing else. prefer fighting with

"There is no need Of surgeon" said his
antagonist, the red-faeed captain he had trod-

generally saves any expennes that way"
The doors were locked. There was q heavy
stamping of feet as Captain johnson advanced
to the attack; then sounl OF shivered-steel,

champion of the club wounded to death. His
broken sword was at the further end of the
room; the colonel, rs they entered, horror
stricken, took off his hat, sheathed his sword,
bowed and retired. The club was astonishod
and dumbfounded. The captain had been run
through the lungs, Just under the left collar

III. THE SECRET.
Tho evening of the third day, as Dolores
NIassard sat in her room at her tambour-trame,
in the absence Of her father, who had come on
secret commission from the French Govern
ment to some of the planters near Savannah,
disaffected to the Enghsa Government, her
black nurse, suddenly entering the room, whis-
pered in u low, frightened voice:
.'Young gentleman, dear! old friend to see
missyl"
The woman had been brbed by Clisson, who
now entering the room, threw himself at the
feet Of Dolores, and seizln5 her hand, covered
it with passionate kisses.
"Dear Dolores" he said; "my life, my SOUL

rights and security? This is the very step,
with the proper qualifications, which the Ia "
Of libel is yet TO take in the direction of an
enlightened and necessary reform.
1t is not pure arrogance in the public press
to assume to be the organ of public senti.
ment and opinion. The call, though tacit,
not the less clearly comes from the public
itself. And the relation is delicate one,
though established for such practical par.
poses. For that very reason il is to be held
in higher regard. Such exalted service,
which it is not possible to provide for in
another way, deserves adequate guarantees
ofprotection. Individual rancor and chagrin
ought not to be PERMITTED, with the law itself
as their instrument, to batter down one Of
the very strongest safeguards Of modern so
ciety. The law should answer more perfect
y to the liberaIized sentiment Of the time,
and assume that the press is performing the
highest service to the public even when critI'
cising and condemning the conduct Of the
individual. New and broad ground like this
remains to be taken, after which the com
munity will feel more secure, aud sensitive
individuals more careful Of provoking the
timely visitatons of the public Judgment
