''PARIs BY SUNLIGHT AND GAsLIGHT. ,
"A work descriptive of the Mysteries
and Miseries, the Virtues, Vices, Splen,
doris, and Crimes of the CITY of Paris
BY James D. McCabe. Jr. National Pub
fishing Co., Chicago.
The eagerness with which all Ameri
cans who can spare the time and means,
rush off TO Paris every year, has become
almost a national characteristic. Indeed,
this is not TO be wondered at, for of all
places in the world. Paris offers the
greatest attractions to the lover of pleas
ure, and what people love pleasure SO
well as our own countryman This
most interesting of cities displays to the
novice its entertainments in two aspects so
widely different, that the author shows
us Paris in two different phases-"By
Sunlight aud by Gaslight." The
quantity Of serious and yeritable history
presented by this work, as connected with
the various objects of interest in Paris, is
immense. That Of the Palaces and 9th.
err public buildings is exhaustive and COM
plete. The reader is made acquainted
with all the proud triumphal monuments
of the past and present eras. lie is led
through the grandest galleries Of art, and
the history and descriptions of the lead
ing objects Of sou pture and painting. are
laid before him. He is introduced into
the family of the Emperor. and carried
through every phase of Partisan social
life. He is led up to the garrets of the
pretty Grisettes, and listens to the stories
of their loves; and is made confident 10
the secret intrigues of the ladies rank
He visits the Queens of the Demi monde
in their gorgeous houses, and counts their
lovers by their jewels. He luxuriates in
the deicacies of French cooking and
Partisan drinks, and smokes bis Cigarette
at night on the glittering Boulevard -
He has his curtain drawn back and is
shown the dark mysteries, and rogueres,
villainies, and the frightful times of the
City. He is amused. instructed. startled,
thrilled, Mortified by turns, and when he
lays the book aside. finds it hard to be-
lieve that he has not actually seen Paris
for himself, aud participated, in person,
in the scenes Of which he has been read
ing. The book is illustrated with $50
splendid engravings, made in Paris, by
the best artists Of France, under the per-
sonal supervision of tho author. 1t is
sold only by subscriptions.

OF course we do not embrace all in
this catalogue. We know there are as
good men and true as are to be found
NJ the Wilmington shafts, but they GER
tainly do not embrace the majority.
What is wanted then, is the immedi-
ate formation of State organizations,
and concert of action among these
organizations. And although even
then the evils complained of may not
be entirely removed, we feel satisfied
they viii become both fewer and less
aggravated.
Since writing the foregoing we learn
from M. w. 4. Owens, President Of
District No. l of the American Mi
ners' Association, that a State Conven-
ton Of the Miners Of Illinois, win be
held at Bloomington, on Wednesday
the 4th Of January next, to perfect the
organization, revise the Constitution
and prepare a petition to be present
ed to the Legislature, asking the pas
sage Of a ventilation bill, in accordance
with the provision made and provided
by the Constitutional Convention
We trust there will be a full represen-
tation from all parts of the State. and
that the action taken will be alike har-
monious and effective.

STRIKES VS. COOPERATION.

AT the last session of the Cigar Ma
kers' International Union, the Commit
tee on Future Strikes and Cooperation
presented the following report, which
was adopted:
Your Committee appointed on Future Strikes
and Co-opcration would mort respectfully Ie-
commend that, ia order to assist men out of
WORK through strikes, the principle of co-opcr-
alton be carried out, in something like the fol-
lowing manner:
That in case Of strike, a certain amount of
money be sent TO The Union on strike, no shall
appoint proper persons 70 procure a workshop,
stock and Other necessaries for carrying on bu-
siness on account Of the international Union.
That as many be employed as possible. at The
regular prices of that Union.
That the men employed be paid in full, or as
much a. she amount in hand from sales will al
i9"--the balance to be paid on 'eaving the
shop.
That after paying wages, rent and other ex.
Penses, the surplus be paid over 70 the proper
persons appointed on behalf Of the Interna-
tiOnal Union.
Your Committee would present this report
simply as a basis upon which 20 work out the
principle, and for that purpose would recon-
mend that this Committee be augmented 20
eleven Lembers, To meet and report toward the
close Of the session, or that this Committee be
discharged and permanent one appointed.
1t is one Of the most cheering signs
of the times that the attention of the
ablest representatives Of our labor or
CARNATIONS is gradually being directed
to Cooperation as a remedy and sub
stitute for strikes. If 1.-THE of the
money which is annually expended to
sustain them, was judiciously invested
in establishing cooperative workshops
to adm dispensing with the services
Of THE middleman-th leach of So
and their attendant evils
would soon be wiped out. AL from
our knowledge Of the organization
which has recommended the adoption
Of the foregoing programme, and which
will doubtless, at the first opportunity
carry it into practIcaloperation
we expect the happiest results. The
plan suggested is simple and feasible.
and there is oerta;rly no reason why
success should not crown such efforts. |
Unless we are much mistaken, to the
Cigar Makers will belong the honor Of
,ctionaliziag he system Of Oo-op~atlon
IN the Western Continent.
We shall watch the progress of the
movement with no ordinary interest.

MUST THE NAL ALWAYS pREvAILl

If careful observer will take the
time and pains to trace to their true
sources the causes Of failure of the re-
fOrmatOrv and cooperative enterprises
which have been established from time
to time in the United States, it will be
found that, in an overwhelming major
ity of cases, tie NAL influence IF CON
temptible minority has invariably tri-
umphed over the manhood, backbone
and sense of right of the majority Take
trades union for example. The per
sisteney of three or four m2rplots-
misanthropes, whose hands are against
everybody-in nine cases out Of ten,
will disgust the other members, and
eventually disrupt the entire organiza-
ton; and did necessity require, we
could cite FIVE hundred instances to sub
stantiate this assertion.
Now, this is far from being as it
should be. Ii the good men and true,
who, fortunately, are to be found on
every hand, would only act with the
same determined effort and persistency
which eharacterizes the actions Of those
to whom we have referred, the history
Of our organizations would be far diff.
ferent from what il is 1t is duty
too, which they owe to themselves
and TO society, that these marpluts
should be met and vanqushed on Their
own vantage-ground. A lesson to thin
effect, wholesomely administered, could
not fail to exercise beneficial intiu
ence in the future.
Said a friend to us, a few days ago
f" Why is it that these professional
GROWERS and sore-heads invariably
carry their point? Don't you think w
should be just as true to right as they
are to wrong? Why should we Away,
lower our colors to class of mer
who would rather pull an angel dowr
than help mortal up? And yet, tall
as we please, we are always brow
beaten and worried, though the failur.
of our union is an injury which is fell
for years afterwards"
This is plain language, but it speak.
the truth and teaches lesson, if We
are only willing 70 learn. Let the mer
of courage andprinciple band together
let them ~esolve to stand by one an
other-to flown down every inuendC
to rebuke any charge prompted by
jealousy or malice-to defend the righ
and denounce the wrong-to fight The
sneaks and mischiefmakers with theil
own weapons to the bitter end and
our word for it, our organlzati, rs would
soon enter upon career of unexampled
prosperity; treason would soon be al

brought about by the managers for the
purpose Of bulling the coal market. At
this moment between 80, 900 and 40, 600
miners are out of employment in this
county, and as fast as the news flashes
ever the wires, the members of the
Miners and Laborers' Benevolent Un-
ion are enrolling in grand army Of
strikers. This society il composed OF
Welsh, Irish, English and Germans,
and numbers over 40.000, 900 members,
all bound by the result Of the meeting
of the Grand Council, which refuses
all compromise with the managers.
The Chief Clerk of the coal depart
ment OF the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western Railroad Company, says that
the company has 10000 tons Of coal
on hand, which il distributed in the
va. ds at Scranton, Port Washington,
Hobokeu, Elizabeth, Syracuse, Oswe-
20, Buffalo and Ithaca, and in transit
at Great Bend aud New Hampton
Junction. The three great companies
which control the anthracite region are
the Delaware, Lackawana and West
ern, the Pennsylvania and Delaware,
and the Hudson Canal Coal Company.
They employ nearly forty thousand
men, including the brakemen and la
borers employed on the several rail
roads which transport coal. All of the
latter sympathize with the strikers, and
are necessarily out Of employment
when the miners are not at work.
Much excitement exists, and citizens
are greatly alarmed. Liquor is freely
used and t.ouble is apprehended. The
Union has fund of over 100000, all
of which the strikers will expend rather
than submit to the injustice sought TO
be done them, and which they say is
only scheme to raise the price of coal,
after which the companies will accede
to their demands.

THE MINER.

REDUCTION OF WAGEs.-Just before
making up our form we received a
communication from the upper end OF
Luztene, informing US shat the mines
of Hyde Park and Carbonate had
been notified of a reduction in prices
and wages from forty to fifty-fve cents.
|-ARthrdcite Monitor.
Our correspondent, f., of Mt
Carmel, says the collieries here are
working only half the time. At Locust
Dale, they have suspended work for
the winter. There is great dissatis-
faction among the miners here ON ac-
count of the operators taking the per-
centage of the whole amount Of their
earnings before deducting expenses.
The Branch of the w. B. A. here, talk
of buying their powder, oil, and other
supplies on the cooperative plan.

COAL MINING IN THE WEST.

1t is very evident that although coal
mining III the West is in its infancy,
that ere long, unless efficient means are
taken to prevent it,a system Of tyranny
more exacting and degrading than ever
practiced in Great Britain, will be in
troduced upon our prairies. From
Wyoming, Iowa, Ohio and Illinois, we
are in weekly receipt of accounts OF
grievances Of which the miners have
just cause to complain, and they are
constantly increasing. A number of
correspondents having asked our ad-
vice as to the best means to remove
them, we desire to say that until steps
sre taken to effect thorough organiza-
ton in the several States, and to secure
cooperative effort among them, the
probabilities arr that matters will grow
worse instead OF better A great deal
of the fault lies with the miners them
selves. A Scotchman, who was recent
~ on tour Of observation, wrote us
to the effect that the indignities and
exactions submitted to by the miners
Of Braidwood .(Ill.) would not be toll
Grated for an hour in any mining dis.
trict in Great Britain, many of the
operators being afraid to admit that
they had will or soul OF their own.
And we are afraid there il more truth
than poetry in the charge. Now,if such
be the case-ifthey are satisfied - lick
the hand that smites them-they have
certainly no reason to complain, if the
are turned a lsttLs tighter.

a Warning to Parents.

The following plea for the adoption
of an apprentice system in South Car
DINA, from Gov. SCOTS Message, con
veys a warning to those parents-and
there are unfortunately too many Of
them-who seem to lock upon labor as
degrading, and consequently rear their
children in idleness and vice. He says /:
"As illustrating the effect of idleness a. the
source CT crime,i it is stated IN the Report Of the
Prison Association. lately issued. that Of four
teen thousand five hundred and ninety-six pris.
oners confined in the Penitentiaries of thiriv
States, 10 1870, more than ten thousand of that
NUMBER, or over seventy per cent, had never
learned trade. This pregnant fact CONVEYS
lesson Of profound interest to those who have
n charge the training Of BOYS and girls for the
active duties o life. Framing such a law as is
suggested, the amplest security shoald be pro
vlded that the apprentice be protected from
cruelty and injustice, and that he should re-
ceive an adequate amount Of education"
We trust at the next meeting of the
Legislature, that the apprenticeship
law which passed the House at the last
session, and was defeated in the SEN
ate BY one UOte, will again be pre-
scented, when we have every reason to
believe it will receive the sanction Of
both houses.
