Of them was found crushed in by falling

An investigation seemed to show that all

the skeletons, two deeomposed corpses
were found in the forecastle, and the cap

making nine in all.
The bowsprit of the vessel bore the maine

How the Greeley Campaign was Badly Man
aged in Maine

aged in Maine.
The Boston Journal tells this story. The
present political campaign is not without
incidents which excite our risibilities and
afford pleasant relief to the asperities
which are called into action by political
contests. One Of the best stories is told of
how they do things in Maine. The Greeley
men bad little surplus money, and one of
them suggested that Mr.. johnson was
indifferent upon political topics. and woula
vote either way for a So bill. A So bill was
placed in the hands of runner who had
been engaged to do odd jobs, and he started
for Mr.. Johnson's residence on the morning
Of the election. Mr.. johnson was absent,
but Mrs. johnson, astrong Republican, was
at home. "No," said Mrs. j., coming to the
door, Mr.. johnson is out but can attend to
anything you wish" WE'LL" said the
runner, was told that he would vote
the Democratic ticketif | gave him five dol
lars" Have youthe money with you ?o
inquired the wife. Certainly" said the
runner, and he handed it to her. WE'LL"
said Mrs. johnson, looking at the bill,
"and how do you propose to vote your
self?" Well, don't know" replied the
runner; am Indifferent" Well,
then," added Mrs. j., "I'll tell you what
| will do; if you will vote the Republican
ticket | will give you this five dollar bill. I"
It's bargain" said the Greeley runner,
and putting the money in his pocket he
went to the polls and voted for Perham
and Blaine. 1t is not surprising that
Horace says his campaign was badly man
aged down in Maine.

O ENERAL ITEMS.

The great navigator, Raphael Semmes,
is stumping Texas for Greeley and Brown.
The possibility, should Horace be elected,
of Semmes becoming Secretary of the
Navy, adds greatly to the enthusiasm with
which he is received. We cannot en-
courage that accomplished nayigator's
friends to hope that he will ever occupy
that position, but if he ever should, it will
considerably diminish our modification to
reflect that Gideon Welles once held it too.

vertis ed her thus: Left my bed and board

will give information as to where | may

good wife returned, the husband reformed,
and the couple lived together happily for
many years."
Professor M. G. Tyler reports to the
editors of The JVoman's Jo,nnol that the
best Greek scholar in Michigan University
is Miss Stockwell. He mentions, however,
that Miss Stockwell was sufficiently edu-
Gated before entering upon university study
to be considered woman of remarkable
ability and scholarship, and to be compe-
tent to fit young men for college. OF
course quite uncommon results may be
expected whenever persons of either sex
enter college after they have become
remarkable as scholars or teachers. Michi-
gan University is gathering company of
| picked young women, or women perhaps
not all young, who represent an exceptional
portion of their sex. To all such persons
we would like to see every institution of
learning in the world open.
AT meeting in behalf OF Social
Evil Hospital in st. Louis, last week,
the Mayor said: ''As many are of the
belief that the fact of legally regulating
houses of prostitution causes an increase
Of the evil, | am happy to be able to
state that such is not the fact. There has
been an actual decrease in the number Of
these houses and their inmates since the
establishment of this law, and the decrease
in disease is fully fifty per cent. If this
be the case | think we have all just cause
of congratulation that the cause of human
ty is being benefited by the social evil or.
dinance, and that looking at past results,
it can scarcely longer be called an expert
ment, but a success in all that its most
sanguine advocates claimed for it.

WHAT rs To BE DONE WITH THE BOYS.

WHAT Is TO BE DONE WITH THE BOYS
We commend to serious consideration Of
all humane and patriotic citizens the condi-
ton Of the boys who ought to learn trades,
in this and other cities. By an arbitrary
and suicidal ruling Of the Trades Unions
only limited number of apprentices are
allowed. As consequence thousands oil
boys having genius for mechanical labor,
are condemned to idleness. and grow up
worthless vagabonds or criminals. We are
glad to see that this subject is attracting
attention in other cities. The ,ear on the
boys BY the Trades Unions and labor leagues
is a most cruel and brutal crusade. We
quote from the San Francisco Bulletin some
timely words, which are as true in Virginia
as on the Pacific slope: ~
"There is no place in the Union where a
working man is worth SO much, and no
place where boy is worth SO little, as in
California. The report read at the meeting
Of the Protection and Relief Society Thurs
day evening touches the subject at vital
point. In seeking for employment for boys
the secretary says: Wherever we turn
labor leagues and Trade Unions are against
u.s. Either the boys now growing up
here will run largely to hoodlulns, or they
must have employment or be banished
from the country. We know of number
of promising boys who have been sent
east to remain, because there were no ave-
nues opened here to honorable employ
ment., We are clamoring for immigrants
all the time when every California boy
we'll trained would be worth as man as
much as four average immigrants.
''Not long ago the pulpit, to some ex-
tent in this city, took up the subject Of
'hoodlums,' but missed the most vital
point. Boys need sometimes attractive
places of resort. But forced idleness is to-
day the source of the greater part of juye-
nile vagrancy and crime. What hope is
there for boy brimming over with activi-
ty who can find no honorable work to do.
There is not single mechanical or other
industrial employment in California where
any other linn should be prescribed for
the employment of boys than the ability
of the employer to find work for them.
Any other is cruel, cowardly and criminal.
We cannot kiiFof the present generation
of boys, make hoodlums of them, nor BAN
ish them from the country. There is no place
in the world where they ought to be worth
as much as here. The employer who turns
boy away with the excuse that he is linn
tied to the employment of two or three,
and cannot employ any more by the rule
of some league or organization, has enlisted
in o war against the boys of this State.
There is not an employer who cannot say !:
Il am master of the situation. | will give
as many boys places in my establishment as
can make room for, independent of all
dictation.' 1t may cost something to take
this stand, but it is on solid ground. There
are q thousand boys in this city with
nothing to do who ought not to be drowned
to get them ought Of the way, ought not
to be banished from the State, and ought
not to be turned into hoodlums."
