y A SUGGESTIVE SIGN In front of the City
Hall was posted, yesterday, on pike staff. a
quire at the corner of Canal and Claiborne
streets. Was it sign limiting to Office seek
ers that healthy employment could be had?
Whether hint Or not, it will answer for
such, and the imagination need not be
drawn en- extensively either. With that
sign futtering in the breeze, men will in
vain cry that they can not obtain their daily
bread by the sweat of their brows.
