A GREAT PARIS PRINTER
AND HISMEN.-Before the war,
NJ. Paul Dupont, the great Par
is printer, carried on a business
of 100000 francs year. He
divided ten per cent. ofthe net
profits among his workmen, ac-
cortling to their individual mer-
it, and not in regular proportion
to their different salaries. This
house, says Mr.. Thurlow's re-
cent report, has followed this
course for twenty years, and
claims the first place in the ap-
plication of one of the happiest
and most successful ideas of
modern times. Each new hand
on admission, receives q silver
medal worth five francs as q
badge of office and link between
him aad his employer. This
establishment has its sick and
provident funds of all the usu-
al kinds. its loans of homer to
its workmen, its Caisses de Re
traite, its savings banks, it's
schools. libraries, reading and
singing rooms, its cooperative
stores, its fami.istelies, gardens
and baths; in short, every in
vention of modern days for pro-
noting health, wealth, happi-
f ness and religion. To use the
words of NJ. Dupont himself,

Modes Of Courtship.

he declaration of the sentl-
nent of love is a privilege OF
he men, founded on nature
md sanctioned by custom,'th
various modes of making that
declaration by them, and OF
accepting or refusing it by 'Ae
women, were we able to give
a perfect account of it, would
make one of the most curious
and entertaining parts of hu-
man history, and equally ~ur-
nish matter of speculation for
the intelligent lady and philos-
opher. 1t is taken as a gener-
al rule that the declaration of
love is the peculiar privilege of
the men but, as all general
rules are liable to eXcepti on,
there are also a few to this.
An Israelitish widow had, by
law, power of claiming in
marriage the brother of her
deceased husband; in which
case, as the privilege of the
male was transferred to the
female, that was likewise trans
ferryd to the male: he had the
psfTer of refusing the refusal,
however, was attended with
some mortifying circumstances.
the woman whom he had tins
sighted was to come unto him,
in the presence of the elders of
the city, and to loose the shoe
from his foot and spit in his
face.
To man, by nature bold and
intrepid, and invested with un-
limited power of asking, Il re.
flsal was of little consequence
but TO woman, more tirnid and
modest, and whose power o
asking was limited to the breth
rem of her deceased husband, j
. was not only an affront, bat
real injury, as every one Woult
conclude that the refusal aroSt
from some well-grounded cause
anl would therefore despise th
woman, so that she could hav
but little chance of a fatur
!, husband !; hence, perhaps,
was thought necessary to f
some public stigma on the pc
son who. was so uugallaat
: not to comply with the addre
I" ses of a woman.
y a custom somewhat simil
n to this remains at p'ese'
=, among some of the Indi;

IN and Iroquois. When 9. vi

A Lecturer on Anti.Pepery Al
tackled by a Mob.


SCRANTON, Pa, October 23.-Intense
excitement here yesterday, which was
not entirely unexpected. Last week
Rev. A. P. Devlin, well known as an
Anti-Popery lecturer, arrived and sue
ceeded in renting Kirfer's Hall for Sat
urday night, but the proprietor becoming
alarmed at the many threats, refused to
open the hall. Deylin then made an
effort to lecture on the streets, but was
repeatedly hooted down, and the crowd
becoming so noisy and disorderly, he
was compelled to retire for the night.
Yesterday he made another attempt to
deliver his lecture. At precisely two
o'clock he mounted box on the corner
Of Lackawana and Pennsylvania Ave
nues, opened Bible and commenced
his discourse, which was an attack on
the Catholics In few minutes after
he opened, a large body of men,
armed with clubs and stones, came down
Pennsylvania avenue. They listened
to him few moments, but when he re-
ferred to the Catholics as being thieves,
murderers and ent-throats the box on
which he stood was kicked from under
him and he fell to the pavement. He
regained his eetand once more mounted
the box, but was again thrown down.
Police officers appeared on the scene
and attempted to protect him. The
crowd became infatuated and cried loudly
to kill him. An officer took him along
the avenue, when some one in the crowd
threw stone which struck him on the
head, splitting it open. The crowd
followed him, hooting and yelling furi-
ously, until he managed to enter the
Wyoming House. From there he was
taken out by side door to the Forrest
House, where he now lies apparently in
dangerous condition, He is still de.
termined 10 lecture, and avows his inten-
ton to again speak to-day. On the
other hand, the mob swears he shall not
speak. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed al day yesterday, and it was
generally the theme Of conversation.

rNGLANp,s CRISIS.

The London correspondent of the New
York World writes some startling things
concerning affairs in England. The
Republic is openly talked Of, the Qpeen
is declared to be crazy, and the Prince
of Wales is not respected. As to par
ties, the writer says:
If we're not sworn to solemn secrecy
/ could now unfold startling tale. The
obligations of secrecy viii soon be re-
moved, and then you shall have the par
ticulars concerning the formation Of a
new holy alliance in England, the con-
sequences Of which may be most mo-
mentous. Extremes meet. There ex-
lists on earth no meaner, more despica-
BILE, more tyrannical and more danger
GUS a creature than the man who wishes
to set up for himself the golden calf,
money, and who demands that rank, in
tellect, scholarship and. culture, as well
as labor, shall bow down in alteration
before this idol. Well, would it surprise
you to learn that rank, intellect, scholar
ship and culture have formed an alliance
against mere capital, and that new
party has been formed, in which the
real aristocracy of England-not the
mock aristoeracy-is united with the
men of the Workshop

BE ON THE WATCH.

There is not, observes one of the New
York dailies the least doubt that the
excitement produced throughout all the
country by the Chicago calamity has
prepared the minds of excitable and
reckless people to receive the idea Of
repeating elsewhere the wild horrors Of
the scene. The perpetual mention by
the press of the alleged incendiary at
tempts at Chicago has suggested to these
people the commission of crime from
which in other circumstances they would
have shrunk afrighted, and there now
seems to be an epidemic Of incendiarism
spreading among weak-minded persons
who have temporarily become monoma-
MAC upon the subject Of fire. Thus we
hear Of four attempts to burn the town
of London, in Canada, and six efforts in
one night to set fire to Syracuse, while
from other quarters reports and rumors
of incendiary attempts are rife. 1t
would be wisdom on the part Of fremen
and private citizens everywhere to take
special precautions againstincendiarism
for the next few days.
