"A New York letter, Of Friday, says: "The
Workingroen's Union are out with a call for q
public meeting, to consider the importation OF
Chinese labor and its probable effect upon
wages. The feeling against the Mongolians Is
very strong in all the trades and If Mr.. koop-
manschaap were to walk the streets he would
hear some things said Of him, and The business

The philsnthroplsts Of Baltimore have fall
len upon new plan to raise money for chari-
table objects, and a most unique one. 1t Is to
.pay the postage on all letters dropped into the
-postofice of that city, and paste oa them
brief notice informing the parties to whom
they are addressed how the letters came to be
forwarded, and If they consider they are un-
: der any obligations in the premises, any re-
turn they may think proper to make will be
devoted to purposes Of charity. And no doubt
the investment Of three cents In such cases
pays well. If but ten cents be RENTED in
acknowledgment Of the favor, there is clear
gain of seven cents on every letter, and no
doubt most persons make the amount still
larger4say from twenty-five cents to . dollar.
Some, of course, make no return, but in the
long run no doubt q handsome amount is real
lied. .:rc f&".s

ing of merchants inl crested In the cotton trade
was held at Delmonico's this morning. The
feeling was unanimous in favor Of establishing
q cotton exchange, with view to the correc-
Aon of various abuses to which the business at
present is exposed, and tie giving Of greater
security to contracts for future delivery. A
committee was appointed to act in concert
with one constituted at q previous meeting, to
carry the plan into effsct. In dwelling upon
the abuses complained of, one of the speakers,
Mr.. Fielding, said that one complaint had re-
ference to the delivery system. Another was
that they had now to rely upon the samples OF
cotton exhibited. He thought experts should
be employed for the purpose of testing the
quality of these samples, and, If demanded,
even the bales should be opened for inspec-
uyho oonfroot cucton rnoranvor urht

organization Of the Prussian indus

pondent,r 'shas Just been subjected to various
notifications These schools will henceforth
contain three classes, In each Of which the
course willcomprehend one year. In the first
two, the subjects to be taught are mathema-
,ties. natural philosophy, chemistry and draw
ing; In the last the pupils will be shown how
fHsi knowledge they have acquired is to be en-
ployed practically in the career for which
they are destined; hence it is to be subdivded
into four sections, devoted respectively to
technical studies, building, industrial rhechan-
les, and industrial chemistry. Pupils of the
industrial schools who have passed the final
examination may enter the superior schools of
technology, and in some cases obtain sub
venlion from the State. Such as have attend
ed two courses will gain the advantage Of be-
Ing subject to active military service during
one year only"
