= Iapanese Execution.

The following description of an execu-
tion in japan is contained in a recent
letter dated at Yokohama:
II had an opportunity of witnessing
an execution on shore. By the Japan
ese, death is regarded with an indiffsr-
ence as astonishing as it is lamentable

Orange blossoms.

The custom OF wearing orange bloss-
oms in the hair by bride upon her we'd
ding day is, in France, a matter of much
pride and importance, inasmuch as it is
q testimonial of purity, not only of the
bride herself, but of integrity and NOR.
ality in the character of her relatives.
In the province of Franche Comte its
adornment is considered sacred right,
obtained by uudoubted character, and as
such proudly maintained. Should any
act of imprudence in early life, imply
ing even suspicion of taint upon the
chastity of the maiden be known, the
use of orange blossoms is forbidden; in
deed, should the female attempt to wear
1t on the occasion of her marriage, she
would be encountered at the church door
by the village lads, violently seized
aud the emblem of purity degradiugly
torn from her hair; nor would
the ceremony be suffered to proceed until
ell trace Of the flower thus profsned had
disappeared from her person. In almost
every village or small town in France
the bride entitled to wear the crown OF
orange blossoms has this beautiful GER
tifcete of her purity either framed or
placed under q glass shade; and it is
religiousIy preserved if possible, even
through generations, as an indisputable
testimonial of undoubted character. The
mother Of a natural child never dsres
assums, not only the orange blossom
crown, but even the white dress and veil,
upon her wedding day, these habiliments
being considered to belong only to the
pure. Should such an attempt be made,
The most bitter ridicule, the most unmer-
eiful sarcasm, would accompany her and
her unfortunate husband to the altar.

The springs of Baden.Baden.

The Baden Observer says: Every
body knows that Baden B aden is rich in
hot springs; there we're so long twelve
het springs. which furnished about $780,
600 itres Zone lilre equal to one and
,hree-qusrter pints) Of water. Although
all these springs are situated IN limited
space, on the southern slope of the
Schlossberg," they are of different
tenn peratures and of different chemical
composition. Excavations and blasting
operations, which we're undertaken to
obtain larger quantity Of water for a
new steam bath, led to the discovery of
an unknown spring pretty near the sur
face, aud of water basin Of evidently
Roman construction. In order to get
nearer to the central spring. from which
il was supposed all the hot springs how,
the blasting was continued, and new
spring was opened With heat of go
Fab. On November last, the stream of
water commenced suddenly to flow in
such abundance, that it is thought to be
connected with the volcanic action which
is, since the latter part of October, all
work along the Middle Rhine, along the
Necker, and was noticed in Thuringis.
The Grand Duke of Baden has noticed at
stated ti,nes shock Of an earthquake in
bis neighboring residence.

who boasts, in addition to her ordinary

A PROFESSIONAL HUMBUG.

There are few men in the United
States Senate, whose reputation as a
played out unmitigated demagogue
rivals that Of Charles Sumner. For
years he has enacted the role Of
philanthropist, without having ever
realized the first impulse If a truly
Christian nature. Cold and calculating,
in every movement pedantic and Osten-
tatious to an offensive degree, his
whole career may be cited as the most
exquisite piece of demagogic acting, to
which any legislative body has been
treated. For years he championed the
cause Of the negro, while he as persis-
tently and consistently opposed any and
every means looking to the amelioration
of the condition of his own race-his
own kith and kin. And now, that the
sectional issues Of the past have been
swept away, that the negro hobby no
longer is paying institution, we find him
advocating the importation of Pagan
race to supplant the labor of American
mechanics, and supporting his demands
by his played out God and humanity
arguments. We are pleased to learn.

To All Whom it May Concern.
OFFICE or THE NATIONAL LABOR UNION,
Nil ICHn

OAAhOliI nlCu.i June ~.
At the Philadelphia session Of The National
Labor Union, il was decided that the next SEES
sion should be held 10 Cincinnati, Ohio.
Due notice il hereby given, that the fourth
annual session of the National Labor Union
will be held in the city of Cincinnati, State Of
Ohio, on the third Monday being the 10th day
Of August, 1870, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon.
All Trades Unions, all Cooperative Associa-
lions, all Labor Organizations Of every kind
will be entitled to representation
for we believe, that all departments of indus
try should have common cause and interest
10 all our efforts to elevate and improve the
condition Of the toiling masses We, therefore,
invite to our ranks, all who by physical or in
tellectual labor, contribute to the substantial
wealth of the nation, be they male or female,
white or black, for this is a struggle for liberty
and justice. We have waited patiently for
promised reforms, but waited ia vain We,
therefore, have no hope in all party politicians.
We must think and act for ourselves and put
stop to this thieving process of wholesale
grants Of our public lands to monopolists and
souless corporations, and this system Of class
legislation Of robbing the people Of hundreds
Of millions Of dollars annually in building up
mOnied aristocracy, and crushing labor to the
dust
Labor organizations are eEttled to repre-
sentation as prescribed in tie constitution, as
follows
SECTION Every international or national
organization, shall be entitled to three repre-
sentadves Sts'0 organizations to two trades
unions, and all other labor organizations to one
representative in the National Labor Union
Provided, that representatives shall derive their
election from the organization they claim TO
represent. Zach International organization
represented, is required TO pay the sum of SIS {;
and each National organization, $40 each 10.
cal union or labor organization of any kind
represented by delegate, is required 70 pay
one cent upon each member belonging 10 such
Organi cation.
The coming Convention will be a very i'm
portant event 10 con- ection with this great
movement of labor reform, therefore, make
an urgent appeal to every labor organization to
send delegate, that we may counsel together
rOr the good and welfare Of our common coun.
try, that equal rights and justice may prevail
IN the same. Il. +. TREvELLICK,
President National Labor Union.

Abortion Of the Constitution.

We teel assured the readers Of the
ADVOCATE will be pleased to learn that
the Constitution recently submitted to
the voters of Illinois for acceptance or
rejection, has been ratified by an over
whelming majority. The minority re-
presentation clause, against which such
a bitter fight has been waged, has also
triumphed. Now, that the working
classes Of this State, have an oppor-
tuuity Of elccting their own representa-
tives, we shall regard with some in
terest the use they shall make Of the
privilege.
