OPPOSED TO THE WORKINGMEN.-
Councilman Doughty proposed before
the Council to raise the wages OF the
city labOreTs to tlCO and q quarter a
dayl The Republican Council would
not entertain the proposition Are
they not beautiful friends of the
workingmen p Courier.
This is very pitiful, indeed Last
year Democratic Council cut dozen
the wages of laboriDg men. and the
Courier didn't charge that body with
being opposed to laboring men. What
reason can the Courier give for ad-
vanc.ng wages this year? We have
seer none. We can't, for the life Of
US, see how Republican Councilmen
show that they are opposed to labor
ing men when they pay the same
wages that were allowed by Demo-
cratic Council. The Courier seems
to be sharper sighted.
The truth is the new Republican
Council propose to do just what they
promised the people they would do, If
elected, viz: Cat down or keep
down expenses and increase the reve-
nues of the city. 1t is only by so
doing that they will be able to pre-
serve the credit of the city and pre-
ventit from going to protest. The
Indebtedness handed over to the pres
ent Council by its Democratic prede-
eessor Is most appalling, and none
who have any desire to maintain the
credit of the city will attack the pres
eat Council for economizing whenever
and wherever it can do so.

REALITIES OF IRISH LIFE. By w.
STEWART TRENCH. Boston: ROBERTS
BRoTHERs. Cincinnatt: Clarke & Co.
Price, 81 90.
This is another of the Handy Vol
une Series. In size they are very
convenient; their typography is ex-
cellent, and the price very low-qual-
ties that ought to secure them an ex-
tensive circulation. The sketches
contained in the present volume, the
author informs US, were penned from
time to time while in ireland, and are
true statements of incidents which
came under his own observation, but
which have been placed before the
public In the newspapers and journals
of the day in a distorted form. The
incidents, as told by Mr.. Trench, are
very entertaining. They also contain
much valuable information relative to
the troubles between Irish landlords
and tenants, which are known to be
chronic, and to which the attention of
the whole world has been called for
some years, and TO which the Fenian
Brotherhood of our own country
seems to be an outcrop.

1t is highly gratifying to know that
American publishers are making great
exertions to circulate the very best
literature The dishwater novelties
of few years ago have been almost
surplanted by the editions of Dick
ems, Scott, Charles Reade, Auerbach
and others. Now we are also favored
with cheap edition of Thaekeray, of
which Vanity Fair is our first install
ment. Genial Thackeray What a
qualification to secure his Vanity Fair,
clearly printed. and illustrated by the
authors own sketches, for fifty cents.
1t is one of the triumphs of modern
book making that thus puts one of
the best English books on a par with,
or even below, in price the ordinary
riff raft that poor people can afford to
buy? 1t IL announced in this volume
that Thackeray's entire series is to
follow in the same cheap style, so that
we shall have Pendennis and the New
comes, the Rhine Sketches and the
Book of Snobs at halfa dollar a vol
ume. The Messrs. Harper have print
ed this edition from the plates used in
their cloth edition of some years ago,
and the prints beautifully fresh. and
clear, while theillustrations, on heavy
tinted paper, are admirably spirited
and amusing. The world of readers
will thank the publishers for this gen
erous edition.

The poet Whittier says he knows

one who has read On the Heights I"
and /" Edelweisse," viii dissent from
this opinion. There is a charming
freshness of thought and expression
in his writings that we do not find in
any Of his contemporaries. He follows
no beaten track. The plots of his
stories are so natural, and yet so diff
ferent from the many novels of the
day. that one feels like reading them
again and again. Especially is this
the case with his story of " On the
Heights" . Villa Eden - is written
in the authors best vein. 1t abounds
In aphorisms, charming expressions

characters are varied, yet well sus

tional opportunity Yet, notwith-
standing the stringency and the ina
bility of the people to pay the pres
ent taxation, they have voted enor-
mously additional burdens upon
themselves in order to secure the
Louisville and St. Louis Railroad.
This shows that the people OF that
city have become desperate, and are
making reckless appropriations IN the
hope that something may turn up and
give them relief. or else they have an
unlimited faith in the progress and
prosperity of their city. Surely.
when Louisville is striving SO hard
after the trade of Southern Indiana
and Illinois, Evansville will rot hesi-
tate to put forth an effort in the same
direction commensurate with her
strength. We can easily get the first
road into Southern Illinois. 1t will
