Josh Billings Answers to Cores

Fred-You amt obliged to ask the
girls mother if you may 60 home with
her from party; get the girls indorse-
ment, and 60 in. 1t is proper enough to
ask her to take your arm, but you have
no right to put your arm around her
waist unless you meet a bear on the road
and then you are supposed to relinquish
YOUR hold as soon as the bear gets safely
by.
Whip-You are right; mules live to
lonely age; / have known them myself
to live one hundred years, and not half
try. You are also right about their be-
ing sure-footed l have known them to
kick boy twice in second, ten fe ct OH
Gertrude-Your- inquiry stumps me-
The more / think about it, the more l
can't tell. As near as / can recollect
now, think / don't know. Much might
be said both ways, neither may be right.
Upon the whole, l think that would or
wouldn't, Just as l think best or other
wise.
Plutarch-Y ou' re mistaken; the Shak-
ers don't marry. If young Shakers fall
in love, they are set to wedding onions,
which cures them forthwithly. l can't
tell how much it takes to jine the Shak-
ers, but l believe the expense used to be-
including having your hair cut and
learning to dance, about sixty-five dol
lars.
Sportsman-Your inquiry is not ex-
actly in my line, but haste to reply as
follows, to wit: The right length to cut
dogs tail has never been fully discov-
cred, but it is undoubtedly somewhere
back of the ears, provided you get the
dogs consent. N. B.-Itisn't necessary
to have the dogs consent in writing.
Kitty-To my own personal views in
the premises, it appears that the best rat
and mice exterminator is well regulat-
ed Thomas cat; beware of base imita-
tons; sold by all the respectable drug
gists.

ST. LOUIS, July IA, 1870.
To the Editor OF the woRKmeMAx's ADvocATE.
When objection was made at the
Belleville meeting of the Labor Union
Saturday, July I'd, to the resolutions l
offered, | was well satisfied that the
full import Of the propositions covered
by the resolutions were not compre'
hended by the parties Directing. Now
that they have been printed and
given to the public for criticism, which
they invite, if they contain error we
would be glad to have the error point
ed out. 1t is in my judgment no proof
of error in the resolutions to say they
do not harmonic with the financial
propositions laid down in the platform
adopted at the Philadelphia COnven-
ton. / regard the proposition to pay
the public debt when it becomes due,
in any other mode than that specified
in the contract-(the act of Congress
and the statement upon the bonds) a.
error. The proposition that the gov
eminent shall offer to the bondholder,
after the government has the right to
make q tender-a choice to accept a
certificate bearing interest, or a certif-
cate not bearing interests error.
By what right can Congress levy a
tax upon the labor of the country to
hand over to creditor Of the govern
ment after his demand has matured and
can be paid in the very kind Of money
specified in the contract. The argu-
ment in support Of the Cary bill is
based upon . hypothesis contingent
cy that may never happen. 1t is that
if the tender be made, the bondholder
having a choice to take certificates
bearing interest or certificates not bear (
ing interest, he will take half or some
proportion of each, and that the in 1
crease in population and business would
in twenty years induce the hold \
ers Of interest bearing certificates to
convert them into ncn-interest certifi- /

THE LABOR CONGRESS

Strange as it may appear, the rural
districts are evincing more interest in
the success of the National Labor
Union than those in which the hum OF
industry is never silent, if the election
of Delegates may be acc opted as a cri-
terion. Never, in the history of the
labor movement, has it passed through
a more critical epoch, than the present;
and never, in the history of the oldest
inhabitant," has greater apathy been
manifested by those most directly in
crested IN its success. All right, gen

duty In the premises. We have warned

I'M MEMORIAM

From the proceedings Of the Monlders'
International Convention, we learn
that steps have at length been taken to
erect monument in Laurel Hill Gene
terry, Philadelphia, to the memory of
the late VIM. II. SYLvIs, one of the
greatest and grandest men which the
10th century has produced, one too,
who, in the prime of manhood. sacrific-
ed his life TO cause in the success of
which humanity is interested. The
movement on the part Of the National
Labor Union having proved lament
able failure, we are pleased that the
project has been taken up by a body
who have both the energy and power
to put it into execution; and yet we
blush to acknowledge that the working
men of the United States have proven
themselves so blind to their best inter-
ests, SO ungrateful to their kind bene,
factor, as to neglect TO raise humble
tribute to his memory.
This apatRy-aye. sheer thankless-
ness,-is one Of the most disheartening
phases in the labor problem. If VIM.
II. Sylvis had devoted his talents and
energy, or 1.-THE OF them, to the ad-
vancement Of the interests of either the
Republican or Democratic party, or
some overshadowing corporation, and
with the same fidelity that he devoted
them undivided to the interests of his
fellow workmen, a stately mausoleum
would, ere this, have marked his name
less grave. But as he choose to cast
his lot with the poor and oppressed, to
battle for the right, as God gave him to
see the right, regardless of consequent
ces, to oppose oppression, no matter in
what state or sphere, we find his
services forgotten and bis name-once
household word-scarce mentioned
or recognized. However, Ill honor,
say we, to the Iron Moulder's Interna-
tional Union; may abundant success
crown their efforts, and may their
future be as prosperous as their by
gone has been.
Friends-one and alive lknew
WIN. Ii. SyIvis as few men had the
privilege Of knowing him; his grand,
comprehensive ideas, his indomltable
energy, his catholic spirit, his honesty
Of purpose, his unbending integrity,
his never dying hope, and We tell you
in all candor, that you were unworthy
OF the efforts of such leader and of
such a man.
