WAsmlyGroN ITEMS. The strike Of the
co!orcI !aborrrs in Washington was renewed
Yesterday with an attempt to Vi oently, drive OFT
the men who preferred to work ut the prices
paid. They were protected by the police, and
several of the rioters arrested. Gov. Cooke
has written Il letter advising the stoppage OF all
work for the present, and compromise with
the men. But in the mean time ought not the
law 10 be enforced upon the rioters? Ought
the peace of the city of Washington to h@ en-
dangcrcd by lawless mob?
Alexander Ray, an extensive coal shipper il
| Georgetown, in letter to Gov Cooke, states
that the strike is operating most dlsastrously
to the coal interests, and will if contlnucd keel
the companies from further shipments Gov
Cooke. in reply says - Private citizens enga-
ged in lawful business shall be protected from
luoes;ation and interference to the fullest ez-
tent Of the authority Of the government. Nea,

such persons as arc willing and anxious to work

The BIacksmith's Trick.

GONE time ago a gawky-looking indi-
~ vidual entered blacksmith's shop
in country town in Connecticut, and APP
piled for a job in voice in keeping with
the stupidity of his physiognomy. His
awkwark ungaiDly and uncouth personal
appearance impressed the smiths with
the idea that they saw before them an
object of prospective merriment. SO they
quizzingly asked him if he could do all
sorts of forging. Upon his answering
affirmatively, the boss" winking to the
workmen, handed him bar Of cast-iron,
and told him to try his hand at forging
some horseshoes. The greeny, in his
perseverng efforts to make the treacher-
GUS metal stick afforded much amusement
to the other smiths.
When dinner-tme came the greenhorn
had not made much headway towards
constructing shoe, but he kept at work
until the last man had gone so dinner ;
then suddenly dropping the bar Of cast
iron, he made directly for one Of the
forges, and selected the best pair of tongs
he could find, and in an incredibly short
space of time, he had converted the jaws
of the tongs into perfect horseshoe
Then he slipped along the next forge, and
repeated the trick, and thus he left his
compliments to the three forges When
the blacksmith and his three jours, re-
turned from dinner, they found the ver-
dant-looking fellow astride of an anvil
with mournful, disconsolate, woe begone
countenance comical to behold. lie was
greeted with boisterous shout of laugh
ter, coupled with the inquiry " How do
you get along making horseshoes? ? Amt
you sorry you learned the trade 2"
The object of their jest replied, I've
knocked out three shoes, all 'cept cutting
off the spurs, Then he held the tongs
or rather what we're once before their
tongs, before their astonished gaze. AS
the idea that they had been victimized
gradually dawned on the minds Of these
disciples of Vulcan, their lenghthened
and ludicrous visages were interesting to
behold. Like the proiane man, when
the hind board of his cart came out as
he was driving up hill with load Of
apples, and scattered his cargo along the
road, so with them--swearing couldn't dc
justice to their feelings. 1t turned out
that the verdant- looking chap was boss
blacksmith in New Haven shop, anG
was considered one of the best workmer
in the country.
