MISCELLANEOUS.
The departure of several of our local
packets has been deferred owing to the
scarcity of labor and the don't-care-a-cus-
sedness of the everlasting Niger. Forty
and 6fty cents per hour is not sufficient
inducement to get them to work except
in a very leisurely manner. ROllstabouts,
who are getting $50 per month, are talk
ing about striking for 500. In self-de-
Tense some boats had to lay over yester-
day, and in self-defenSe boat owners will
be compelled to call in the pig-tailed
eaters of rats from the Celestial Empire
to come to their aid.
