WE confess surprise at the sudden change in
aflirs on the border. Almost before one
could realize that second uprising OF Fenian-
ism had taken place, or find some reasonable
motive for this adventure and calculate the
result, the rigt wing of the Fenian army has
met the enemy, and repeated the story of the
famous King of France, who
Marched up the hill and then
Marched down again.
Instead of hearing the joyous shouts of sue
cess, and seeing the victorious hosts marching
towards Hudson's Bay to the inspiring air Of
"Wearing OF the Green" we see their shat
tered columns falling back on their base line
in disorder
Our dispatches this morning are somewhat
vague, but they convey the intention Of the
invaders to make o second attempt at some
point on the New York border, and if this
should prove true it will present some curious
applications of the principles of military STRAIT
egy. There will be a triangular fight for Mr..
ONeilrs soldiers for they must dodge Uncle
Sans troops before they can bring shillalah
down on a Canadian head We regard it
scarcely worth while to consider the question
of future success for the Feniaps, for there is
not the ghost of a chance for them to get to
ireland through Canada. The closer the stu
alton is studied the more stupepdous the pro-
portions OF the farce appear to be.

WORTHY OF IMITATION.

/ Our Philadelphia department con
talns, this week, an announcement thai
the platform Of principles of the Natlon
al Labor Union is about to be submitted
TO the various German Trades Unions
an that city for deliberative considera.
ton. This is pleasing information, and
denotes a failing of the blind conf
ience which every trades unionist
seems to repose in his organization.
The value of trades unions, as schools
IN which to fit men for more compre-
nensive and intelligent solution of the
problem, will be inestimable, If the ex-
ample thus set be generally emulated.
individual converts will be made, even
though some organizations may not be
induced 10 commit themselves to our
theories, as organizations. Yet we
doubt not that nearly all will be IN
duced TO enroll themselves unanimously
with US, provided this course be adopt
ed. Besides, an introduction of these
questions into the meetings of the uni
Pns will serve to agreeably relieve the
ordinary routine of business, and will
therefore be apt to incite members now
wofully derelict on the score of attend
ance, to renewed interest in their asso-
citations. To every union in the land,
I'VE earnestly say, go thou and do like
wise"
