SPEAKING \ BORROWED SPEECH.-An
episode in sensational life has recent
" come to life at the national capital.
1t is said that when President Lin
clon's Louisiana bill was before both
Houses of Congress, Senators Sumner
and Buckalew met in the lobby, and
after comparing notes, discovered that
extremes had met, and that they were
alike opposed to the bill. sumner
insisted that Buckalew should make u
speech against it, but the latter
thought a speech from 4 Democrat
would frame no influence, but he, in
turn. insisted that Summer shonld
speak BY all means. Sumner pleaded
lack of time but facetiously remarked
to Buckalew "If you will write the
speech, l will deliverit." At O'Clock
the next morning, the speech was fin
ished, Buckalew having labored all
night. During the day he quietly
slipped the roll Of manuscript Into
Summers hands. The following norm
ing Buckalew was late in arriving at
the Capitol, and, on entering the Sen
ate Chamber, he found MI. Sumner
occupying the Senate with n speech
against the admission of Louisiana,
which speech Buckalew recognized ms
the same lie had handed to Sumner the
day before. Sumner, in the short in
terval, had committed the whole speech
to memory. Mr.. Hamlln, passing
Buekalew's seat at the time, remarked,
"Sumner Is talking sense for once In his
ife."-SpriaGdeid RepuGicdn.

Il WORKING PEOPLE.


The extraordinary growth Of Trade
Unions during the last few years Is a
remarkable illustration Of the present
tendency Of workingmen to combine
in support of each other. In New
York city and Brooklyn there + over
one hundred Trade Unions, only three
Of which were in existence before 1850,
and three-fourthS have been organized
since 1865. There are sixteen trades
which have organized National Unions,
controlling in the aggregate over one
thousand branches and lsi,12l menu
bers. The National Labor Union
holding the same relation to the State
Unions that the United States Govern
ment bears to the separate States,
meets in Congress every year at the
principal cities of the country, and
issues charters to the branch societies.
In New York, q State Labor Union
has just been organized and chartered
under the National Labor Union, and
is prepared to issue charters to Labor
Unions in each Legislative District Of
the State. Only II Labor Union is
to be chartered in each Legislative Dis
trict, but the District Unions have
power to organize branch clubs work
ing under one head. The State Work
ing Mems Assembly of'New York, re-
Gently in session In Albany, prepared
bills on the following subjects, and
recommended them to the New York
Legislature for adoption: l. Arepeal
of the Conspiracy law. 9. The aboli-
ton Of the contract system in prisons,
and substituting State employ there
for, and preventing the goods and
wares manufactured in the prisons be-
ing brought in unjust competition with
honest labor. 3. A law in reference to
the education of truant and vagrant
children, compelling the authorities to
make them attend school. 4. 4 law
for the preservation Of the lives and
limbs of w~orkingmen in building, min
ing and engineering operations-hold-
ing the agents and contractors respon-
sible for damages where accidents are
caused through their neglect. 5. A
law for the better protection of public
health, in the use Of secondhand or
filthy barrels for repacking flour, sugar
or meal. G. A stringent apprentice
law, in order that boys learning trades
may become skilled wOrkmen. q. y
lien law, for the better protection Of
mechanics and working men. s. An
amendment to the Eight-hour law, re-
quiring its enforcement by the State

THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

The Military Committee of the House
of Representatives, it is announced,
has agreed upon 4 bill for the re-organ-
ization of the United States Army and
the consequent reduction of expenses.
The principal points are rs follows:
I. The reduction by the muster out Of
officers equal in number to those now
left without commands by the consol-
idation Of the infantry reginents-thc
officers showing the best military
records to be selected by 4 Board Of
Examination and retained. 2. The
repeal Of all laws creating the offices
Of General and Lieutenant General,
the repeal to take effect as o as
vacancies occur in those offices; the
reduction Of the number Of Major
Generals from five to three, and of
Brigadier Generals from ten to six,
and the reduction Of tho eight addl-
tional Brigadier Generals, who are
Chiefs Of Staff Departments, to the
rank of Colonel, which they held be-
fore the war. 3. The abolition Of
brevet rank. 4. The transfer of the
Indian Bureau to the War Department.
5. The payment of officers by fixed
yearly salaries, instead Of the present
system of allowances and commuta-
tons. On examining the Army List
for September, 1869, it will 10 seen
that 50i officers are unassigned to regi-
mental duty. This list comprises IL
colonies, Is lieutenant colonies, 20
majors, Ia captains, PIG first lieuten-
ants, and Sc second ~lieutenants. The
saving in the expense by cutting of
this number of officers will amount to
over $1,000 600 per annum. Tile re-
duction in the number of major gen
erals and brigadier generals will also
add to the savings. 1t is asserted,
however, that this part Of the bill will
meet with considerable opposition in
Congress. This bill, if passed into a
law, will require a thorough re-exam-
nation of the military records Of the
officers of the United States army. and
the mastering out Of many who, in the
recent consolidation, were assigned to
.regimental duty. Those now on the
unassigned list have been employed
under the reconstruction acts, as super
intendents of Indian affairs, In recruit
ing service and in the command of
garrisons.

a GEM.-The celebrated apoStrophe
to water, as given IN one of Coughs

ing n glass OF water and advancing 1t
toward his head, he said: Look ut 1t
We thisty sons of earth! Behold 1t!
See Its purity! How it glitters as ifa
mass of liquid gems! 1t is a beverage
that was brcwed by the hand of the
Almighty himself! Not in simmering
still or smoking fires, choked with pol
souous gases and surrounded by the
stencil Of siekening odors and rank cor
ruption, does our father IN heaven pre-
pare the precious essence of life-pure
cold water, but In the green glade and
grassy dell, where the red deer wan
ders, and the child loves to play, there
God brews 1t; and down In the deep
valley where the fountains mtlrmur
and the rills sing, and high upon the
mountain tops where tho storm
clouds brood, and the thunders crash;
and away far out Oh the wide, wide
sea, where the hurricane howl music
and the big waves roll the chorus,
sweeping the march of God-there,
there he brews it-that beverage Of
health giving water-and everywhere
it is a thing of beauty glimmcring in
tho summer rain, shining In the Ice
gem, till the trees all seem turning i'll
to little jewels; spreading q golden
veil over the setting sun, or q white
gauze arounda midnight moon; sport
ing in the cataract, sleeping In the
glaciers, dancing in the hail showers,
folding its soft curtains around the
windy world and wearing the many
iris, that is, Orphn's zone Of the sky,
whose wrap Is raindrop of the earth,
whose wool Is the sunbeam of heaven;
all cleckercd oyer the celestial flowers
by the mystic hand of reflection, still
always it Is beautiful, that blessed life
water. Nopoison bubbles on Its brink,
its foam brings no sadness or murder.
