Our WoRKINaMEH.-No paper in the
state has ever more assid iously advocated
the interests of the workingmen than the
Day Book.
The following excellent article pertain
ing to them, we clip with much pleasure
from an exchange J:
That city which SO shapes its policy a.
to attract working men has, in the esti-
nation of all sound th inkers, solved one OF
the most important problems in regard to
growth and prosperity.
The working man is the indispensable es'
ssntial; without him there is no advance
ment. A city made up Of doctors, lawyers
politicians, bankers and merchants, would
soon be overgrown with moss, northeastern,
and would soon disappear. 1t would have
no vitality, force, influence, or importance.
The live elem snt in all communities Is the
workingmen. They carry forward the in
dustrial enterprises Of the world, they
level the forests, bridge the rivers, tunnel
the mountains, dig the canals, and frame
the locomotives; they build the Cities. and
cultivate the folds; they invent and con-
struct; they manipulate the keys Of ma
chinery, and fill the lands with its music.
They are the pioneers of Progress, and the
monuments Of civixation are the work of
their hands. The sun-burnt face and
3rawny arms bespeak the man "for all
that"
There are ever coming forward from the
representatives of the pillow, loom and
anvil men who shape the destinies Of
nations men of large brain and practical
views, who received their graduating
diplomas in workshops, and whose words
on questions affecting the material inter-
ests oi the State outweigh the impractical
themes and ephemeral logic Of the mere
bookworm.
The Workingmen, whate'er their task,
To carve the stone or bear the bod
They wear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God
And brighter are their drops OF sweat
Than diamonds in q cornet. ts.

supuated however, that the vessels TO run against

Ing Mr. Ashoary's distinct proviso, accepted the
challenge so far rs the ocean race was concerned.
He objected TO race on inland waters and the fact
OF Mr.. Ashbury having on MS part ignored this 90
lection OF Mr.. Benefits has materially helped 10
produce the complication which has unfortunately
arisen. When Mr.. Asntury discovered that the
Dauptless was somewhere between ffty and Q
hundred per cent larger Than the Cambria he
wrote TO decline the proposed contest but he after
wards modIed his refusal 10 tile extent thai he was
content TO leave the settlement OF the tonnage ques-
ton TO the arbitration OF some specified Yachting
authorities. And thur the matter stood when the
Dauntess arrived IN this country in July last. IL rs
to DO remarked here that as the Daunte5s Is by the
New York Yacht Club measurement rated at 2j4
tons, and by the Thames Yacnt Cub rules--whioh

question OF measurement is Of considerable Inn

But IL is only fair to Mr. Ashbury 10 state that BY

Robert Simson, the Scottish
mathematician, was noted for
his Observation-Disclosures. He
used to sit at his open window
on the ground floor, deep in
geometry, and when accosted
by beggar, would arouse him
self, hear a few words Of the
story, make his donation and
dive. Some wags one day
stopped a mendicant on his
way to the window with Now,
do as we tell you, and you will
get something from the gentle
man, and a shilling from us
besides. He will ask who you
are, and you will say Robert
Simson, son of John Simson,
Of Kirktonhill.' The man did
as he was told; Simpson gave
him a coin and dropped off.
He soon reused himself and
said, Robert Simson! son of
John Simson, Of Kirktonhill!
why, that is myself! that man

One day, walking near Gov
ent Garden, an Irish laborer
fancied Hogg had punished
him, and turned upon the
young Oxonian, who was alone,
with such angry abuse as
brought a number of by-stand-
ers to witness what promised
to be a row. Hogg turned up
on the Irishman and said, with
calm severity
Il have put my hand into the
hamper; l have looked upon
the sacred barley; l have eaten
out Of the drum; | have drank,
and was we'll pleased; I have
said konx ompax, and it is fin

out, what is it Paddy has
had?' while Hogg turned
solemnly away, leaving the be-
wildered Irishman to get out
