At the Philadelphia session Of the National
Labor Union, it was decided that the next SEES

Due notice is hereby given, that the fourth
annual session Of the National Labor Union

All Trades Unions, all Cooperative Associs
lions, all Labor Organizations Of every kind

invite to our ranks, all who by physical o in
telectual labor, contribute to the substantial
wealth Of the nation, be they male or femsNe,
white or black, for this is a struggle for liberty
and justice. We have waited patiently for
promised reforms, but waited in vain; We,
therefore, have no hope in all party politicians,
We must think and set 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 entitled to repre-
sentstion as prescribed in the constitution, a.
follows

organization, shall be entitled to three repre-
sentasives State organizations to two trades

cal union or labor yAnizatiOn Of any kind,
represented by delegate, is required 70 pay
one cent upon each member belonging 10 such
organization.
The coming Convention will be very i'm

TREATMENT OF F0REIGERRs BY
THE PIGTAILA

As an evidence Of the liberality and
consideration with which foreigners
are treated in the " Flowery Kingdom"
when outside the protection of their
ships-ofwar and gunbosts, we give an
extract from the Official report Of an
English Consul, Mr.. Swinbre, who
assembled the Yanstre-Kiang, for the
purpose Of navigating the upper river
with steamboats,. He says that upon
his arrival at the large city of Ichang
he found posted upon the walls of the
city . proclamation, issued BY the
" scholars and people Of seven districts
of Ichang," represented by n secret
society, organized for the purpose Of
expelling all foreigners from the Celes-
tial Empire. After exhausting the
Chinese vocabulary of abusive epithets
on foreigners in general, the report in
the Hong Kong Press says:
The wise men Of Ichang therefore resolved

How THE PHEASANT DRUMs.-Very
few persons ever saw the ruffled grouse,
commonly called pheasant in the Western
States, and partridge, in New England, in
the act of making that peculiar noise called
drumming" for the reason that the bird
never drums except when in close thicket.
For the reason, the manner in which it is
done has been differently described by
hunters. Some say the bird beats its wings
upon log; others, that it beats its body.
A gentlemen who recently had an excellent
opportunity of witnessing the act, writes to
the Journal of Agriculture that the bird
simply beats the air" with its wings, as
in the act of fying-the wings, during the
act being fully distented at right angles
with the body. The sound is the same as
that made in the act of flying, being made
in the same way.

ROMANCE OF TREASURY BUREAU
Quite romance has lately occurred here,
which viii soon conclude in a marriage at
Brooklyn. A lady whose husband was at
one time Minister to China, was left a
widow some two or three years ago, with
children to support, and painfully small
income with which to do it. Some friends
advised her to apply for clerkship in the
Treasury, which she did, and obtained it,
and has since faithfully discharged duties
She is lady of superior education and in
telligence, and remarkable beauty. A gen.
tleman meeting her here, and thinking her
meant for better things than seven hundred
dollars per annum, wrote to a friend in
Connecticut, who is millionaire, described
the lady, and invited him to this city to
meet her. He came. and has reason to
thank his friend for the invitation, since
the lady has now resigned her position in
the Treasury and gone to Brooklyn to pre-
pare for her marriage. Two hundred
thousand dollars, it is said, has already
been settled upon her. Washington Let
