The COlOred LabOrers' Strike.
WASHINGTON, June THE colored laborers
were gathered in various places to-day in small
groups, but with apparently less aggressive
spirit than yesterday. number of the strikers
are anxious to resume work, but fear violence.
The Board of Public Works. with Governor
Cooke at their head, have decided that $3.50
per day is as much as the taxpayers can afford
to give, and as little as the laborers can afford
to take.
The board yesterday recommended the con-
tractors to suspend work, for fear of violence,
but row promise to protect the just interests of
all, and will not yield to violence or counte-
nance any attempt to intimidate or interfere
with honest laborers by mobs or gangs of armed
men.

The LUXURY OF LoAFING.-Idleness, pure
and unmixed, is one of the greatest luxuries of
human life. 1t is also luxury peculiarly APP
proprate to the holiday season. On the same
principle. | am very much in favor of lying
in bed late of morning. Theoretically hold
the latitudinarian principle, but practically
am a tolerably early riser. The more sleep
you give the brain, the better quality does the
brain become, and the better is the energy and
harmonious play of the whole system. Sleep
Us much as you can, and, in consequence, as
late as you can, but never lie in bed after you
AZ Q awake, ''thnking," as you are sometimes
pleased to term it. 1t is all a mistake. 1t is
the worst kind of debauch as bad as dram
taking do not believe that there is any real
quality of thought in such morning reveries.
similarly of the delights of idleness, the
pleasures of the castle of Incidence, some
Qualifying language must be used. | know of
nc greater pleasure than to saunter about for
whole day with ones hands in oue's pockets,
and with steady determination to think, wait,
and do nothing at all. In order to do this with
proper effect. man ought to be on tolerably
good terms with his own conscience other
wise some dark influences will begin to brew
iisquiet in his mind. But this idleness is
irst-rate clarifying process. Without any
settled, studious efforts of the mind, the sub
iccts that had troubled YOU will begin to take
shape and form. All kinds of matters, which
had been waiting for quiet hour of delibera-
ton, will gradually, and almost without a con-
srious effort, be satisfactorily disposed OF.
Moreover, your idle day, to be perfectly idle
and happy, must not be haunted by the cor
rodng recollection that there is something to
0e done. Such idle days are as rare as happy
days, of which the Caliph could only score up
eleven and ;t may be that the happy day and
the idle day are synonymous. l know of no
greater luxury than to wake up in the morn
~ = = G,,l fl,a = e
nine. l always calculate on feeling of in
tense vitality for that day, and an extra
amount of my very limited power of doing and
enduring ng.-Erchange,

The Game.0f Memoru.


The game ct memory as practiced by the
0jibways and northern n ans has been found
profitable in schools, both rrecreaton and i'm
provement, as branch . object teaching.
The Indian chief or tsacher, in his rude
way, has from twenty u fifty, or more sticks,
cut, made sharp or poilited at the larger end,
and split at the top an inch or two. These
sticks are then planted around in circle, a
short distance from each other; then various
specimens of different substances "a single
specimen on each sticKat the top are distri5u-
ted around the ciIeIe, in order beginning on
the right hand Of teacher, and proceeding
around in the of6eS Numbers one, two, three,
etc.
The Indians. or ciass, are then allowed to 90
around the cir&le slowly and take strict and
scrutinizings3ook at each specimen in the or
der of the numbers, one, two, three, and thus
around the circle. This is done silently. The
sticks, or sRecimens, are then removed and
placed by tbe teacher, sand then the class, on
going around second time each one in order
is to tell the teacher, as far as possible without
mistake, what specimen, is contained in stick
number one, two, thsee, four, fve and so on
around the whole circle, if possible.
With the Indians the first specimen will
probably be birch bark to make canoes, the
second little tobacco, the third the fur of
beaver, the fourth bit of calico, the fifth a
feather of peculiar bird, the sixth the bone of
= the different stic.ss t1snted around the cir
Gle. The one who can repeat without mistake
up to the highest number receives the premi-
um or reward. The consequence is, the percep-
tive faculties are called into exercise, and each
individual will soon learn to discriminate so
sharply that they will be able to track a wolf
over dry leaves in the forest as we'll as a white
man can track the same animal in the snow.
You will ask, how they can do it? l reply
that they do it very readily by observation
and sharp inspection, by first noticing leaf
with holes in it, the middle hole, or holes, a
trile larger and in advance Of the other hole,
or holes, near the central holes The two holes
they know, by observation were by the toes
of the wolf, and they Immediately stick
down a leaf by the first leaf thus Marked
By these sticks in row they find the
course the wolf was travelling, and follow on
till they find were the animal drank at spring
perhaps, soon discover his den among rocks or
caves near by.
BY this mode of sharp inspection they be-
come acquainted with the habits of all the
wild animals, and also gain knowledge of the
different plants and trees, and turn the knoll
edge to good account for their individual well
fare. The writer has known a scholar, by
practicng this exercise, who was enabled to
memorze long lesson for Bible class, and
at the recitation, without the book, repeat it
backward as well as forward or give any par
ticuar verse called for; and hetrusts that may be
made available in our common schools as re
creative and profitable branch of object teach
ing Western Educational ReUie1C.

A QUESTION ANSWERED. .--"Can any reader tell
why. when Eve was manufactured from one Of
Adams ribs, hired girl wasn't made at the
same time, to wait on her" A lady correspon-
dent answers the question thus: "We can easily
answer this question. Because Adam never
came whining to Eve with ragged stocking to
be darned collar to be sewed on, or glove to
be mended right away = Because he never read
the newspaper until the sun got down behind the
palm trees. and then stretched himself out, yawn-
ing, 'Ain't supper ready, dearY Not he
He made the fire, and hung over the tea-kettle
himself, we'll venture, and pulled the radishes,
and peeled the bananas, and did everything else
that he ought He MIXED the cows and fed the
chickens, and looked after the pigs himself He
never brought home half dozen friends to din
ner when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates,
and the mango season Was over. He never stay
ed until eleven O'Clock TO n ward meeting, hur-
rshipg for the out-and-out candidate, and then
scoldng because poor dear Eve was sitting up
and CRYING inside the gates. To be sure, be
acted rather cowardly about apple-gathering
time, 6ut then that don't depreciate his general
helpiulness about the garden. He never played
billiards, nor drove fast horses, nor choked Eve
with cigar smoke. He never loafed around
groceries while solitary Eve was rocking little
Gains cradle at home. In short, he didn't think
she was specially created for the purpose of wait
ing on him, and wasn't under the impression
that it dsgraced man to Tighten his wife'S cares
n little That's the reason that Eve did not need
a hired girl, and we wish it was the reason that
none of her fair descendants did,"

TEACHTNG PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Forty little urchins
Coming through the door,
Pushing, crowding, making
A tremendous roar.
Why don't you keep quiet
Can't you mind the rule
Bless me- this is pleasant,
Teaching public school!
Forty little pilgrims,
On the road to fame,
If they fail to reach it,
Who will be to blame
High and lowly stations
Birds of every feather
On a common level
Here are brought together.
Dirty little faces,
Loving little hearts,
Eyes brimiul of mischief,
Skilled in all its arts.
That's a precious darling
What are you about
EMay l pass the water ?'
'Please, may go out ~
Boots and shoes are shuilling,
States and books are rattling,
And in the corner yonder
Two pugilists are battling;
Others cutting didoes-
No wonder we grow crusty,
From such association
Anxious parent drops in,
Merely to inquire
- Why his olive branches
DO not shoot up higher;
Says he wants his children
To mind their p's and as,
And hopes their brilliant talents
viii not be abused.
Spelling, reading, writing,
Putting up the young ones,
Fuming, scolding, fighting,
Spurring on the dumb ones:
Gymnasts, vocal music
How the heart rej0ices
When the singer comes to
Cultivate the voices
Institute attending,
Making out reports,
Giving Object Lessons,
Glass dlills of all sorts;
Reading dissertations,
Feeling like fool
Oh, the untold blessing
OF the Public School.

rs Land speculation continues to be the
great business of Chicago Some idea may be
formed of the appreciation of property within
the past six years by single fact. The city
owns a tract of twenty three acres, upon which
is located the reform school. 1t is about five
miles from the centre OF the city, and one mile
beyond the southern boundaries 1t is pro
posed to sell this, and the Council have fixed a
valuation upon it of SjOOOOO, or over 1000
per acre. Six years ago land was selling in
vicinity at less than $1,000 per acre. Jnpro-
ductive property, remote from the city, is kept
up at even $4,000 an acre, notwithstanding the
circumstance thousands of acres are unocupied
and like to remain so for years. 1t requires an
immense amount of capital to carry the speeu-
lations. One real estate man estimates the
amount borrowed, and for which mortgages are
given as highas fifty millions.

A Coon GAME FOR RAINY DAYs.-The unusual
amount Of rainy weather which we have had
this summer has called forth many devices for
enabling city sojourners in the country to kill
time with success. Among others, game called
the "Dot' game has been suggested as simple
and amusing. Any number of persons can
play t. the only requisites being a pencil and
piece of paper. One of the party reads aloud
dis}nctly, but not too fast--and the rest
ft0akch dot for each word read. After a page
Ii read the words are counted, and each player
counts the number of dots he or she has made
