A strike of worl6men in the London gas
works shows how completely many great in
terests in great city are quite at the mercy
of single branch of labor. London is in
darkness, except so Far, probably, as it may be

means. When we remember The miserable
blight in which section of this city found

made by the retirement of Mr. Justice Nelson
from the Supreme Bench. Mr.. Hunt is only

zen may be taken for granted; but that he
should be selected to fill so high and dignifed

Almost all flowers sleep during the

with the sun, and with him rises
weeping. Many plants are so Gcnsi-
tive that they close their leaves dur
ing the passing ola cloud. The dan.
delion opens at five or six III the
morning, and shuts up at niue in the
evening. The goats.bcard wakes at
three i'll the morning, and shut at
five or six i'll the evening. The En-.
glish daisy shuts up its blossom in
the morning, and oFens its "day's
eye to meet the early beams OF tue
morning sun. The crocus, tulip and
many other, close their blossom at
different hours toward, evening, The

morning, aud clos S forever at four III
the afternoon. The night towering

water and it disappears, tits neither

is not a very odorous pile OF dirt
You see yonder; well scatter Il little
gypsum over it and it is no longer
dirty. Everything like dirtis worthy
Of ottr notice as students ofcnemlstry
Analyze it; it will separato into

corn, corn makes bread and meat
and that makes a very sweet Young

it as dirt. "
