INCREASING THE Cost OF PRINTING
WITHOUT BENEFIT To PRINTERs.-The
London correspondent of the Weekly
Trade Circular writes as follows; The
London Society of Compositors, in tax
ing the part of its members, has often
imposed such unjust rules that the mas
tiers rebel whenever opportunity occurs.
Some time ago the society was all-power-
full, and though it still has great power,
its influence is on the wane. Their late
movement for reduction in the hours
of labor has increased the cost Of print
ing without giving the laborers any
pecuniary benefit. Indeed it is very
questionable if the men, having an extra
six hours a week on their hands, are not
worse off than heretofore, as to be able
to enjoy such hours of idleness an adj
ditional six hours pay ought to be given
or they will dip more deeply into their
regular wages. There are still large
number Of compositors upon the strike,
and there is but little chance of work
being found for all until Autumn is well
advanced, as many of the men are old
employers, who, having been retained
after their prime had passed, were really
doing their employers a service in strik-
ing, while by reason of their age, infrm.
tiles, or incapacity, they are unlikely to
gain permanent "sits" in other houses.
We hear rumors that movement is on
foot for sending some of these unfortu
mates to the United States and Canada,
as an idea exists among many individ
uals in this country that the Transatlan.
tic printers are making a fine harvest.

BRooKLYN SUGAR BUSINESS. -The to-
tai value of the premises and machinery
of the fifteen sugar refineries in the East
ern and Western districts OF Brooklyn is
from 100000 to $4,000 and the
usual total stock on hand ranges from
81, 800, 900 to 81, 000,0 900, including sugar
in its raw state and in process of refining.
The total number Of men ordinarily en-
ployed in these refneries is from 2, $50 to
$500, and the average total running ex-
penses per day, including labor, are ST.
800, in round numbers, while, when in
full operrtion, an aggregate of about
$500 barrels of sugar is refined per day,
the refneries averaging yield Of from
225 to $50 barrels each The rate of
wages paid in the reinelies for day s
work of ten hours is 81. GO for boys and
laborers, So for bakers, and from 81, 80 to
S5 for skilled labor, there being, howev-
err, only about ten per cent, of the total
number of employees classed under this
latter heading, and they not joining in
the strike, which is confined entirely to
boys, and laborers, and bakers. The
demand of the strikers is not for eight
hours day, but for greater wages, a uni
form rate of 1920 per diem being de,
handed. The rehners declare their utter
inability to pay any increase whatever,
stating that in consequence of excessive
competition in their business, they can
make no profit, and that it would be bet.

A Singular Case.

The Jackson (Mich. } Citizen prints the
following Henry Miller, drover, was
sent to State Prison by the Recorders
Court at Detroit in February, 1870, for
grand larceny for term of three years.
Miller says he housed his cattle one night
on a farm in Wayne county, and the
next morning his men drove an animal
into the cars that did not belong to him.
He sold it, and was arrested, tried and
convicted as stated above. He had n
father who was millionaire, living in
Albany county New York, but at his
trial he neither applied to him for assist
ance nor allowed him to be informed of
what was occurring. He had cousin
with him. Charles Parker by name,
from whom he extracted promise never
to write to him or to inform his relatives
of his whereabouts. Mr.. Parker has
faithfully kept the latter portion of his
promise, as was eyinced by letter which
Mr., Miller received from him few days
ago. From this, which we have been
permitted to see, it appears that Miller
had sent his cattle to his father, at Buff
falo, and this was the last indication re-
ceived by his friends to show that he was
living since his conviction. He was
literally dead to the outside world. His
father became alarmed at his long alb
sence, and set out to hunt him up. He
travelled all over the world, says the let
ter, and finally having heard that his son
was in California, took Parker with him
and went there. OF course he was I'M
successful, and returned home to die Of
broken heart. Parker kept his secret
faithfully, and the old man died mourn
ing for his lost son. He left all his
property, some 100000 in real estate
'and personal effects, $4,000 on deposit
in bank, to his son; who by this letter,
for the first time since his incarceration,
hears from his friends at home Young
Parker writes from Cooperville, in this
State, where he is stopping a few weeks
on business. He will probably pay his
cousin a visit before returning to New
York. Miller's time will expire in
August, unless he loses portion of his
"good time"

A Volunteer CrOD.

After the Summer following is done,
says correspondent, writing from Cali
fornia, the teams have a rest. The
horses and mules are turned out to grass
for some weeks, and about the 4th of
July the harvest begins. 1t is then
the rainless season and the farmer gets
his teams, his headers, lis grain wagons,
his thresher and his sacks and his men,
into the field, and on the light soil cuts,
threshes, and puts into sacks the grain
at the rate often of $50 acres per day.
Three "hcaders," which cut off only the
heads of the wheat stalks, leaving the
straw standing, and nine wagons to take
the heads from the headers to the thresh-
Ell, require to work them % men and SO
horses. With this force they get in 15C
acres per day. The grain put into sacks
is left on the fields until time and teams
can be got to haul it to the railroad OF
often until it is sold. 1t does not sweat,
nor mold, and there is no fear of rain.
AS soon as the crop is harvested, the
teams are hitched to brush-six horses
w INClU1 -loou VI ttSh, WHICH 5OCo ONCl
the field at the rate of 40 acres a day.
This brush scatters the grain which has
been dropped in the fields ; and some
times little more seed is added. When
it has been brushed it is plowed--two OF
three inches deep-to cover the seed
and from this comes, without further
care, what is called volunteer" crop,
which is often better than the first, and
is as certainly counted on. Now the
horses and men have another interval
of rest until the rains begin and pillow,
ing recommences. Thus, as one farmer
pointed out to me, they have work for
their teams almost the whole year, and
have no horses eating their heads off in
idleness. In the heavier soils, the volun,
teer crop is put in with the harrow in
stead of the brush and this followed
by "chisel cultivator," having from
seven to thirteen teeth, four inches deep
If these leave the ground rough, it is
again narrowed.

Iron VERSUS BRICK.-In considering
the proposition to build a church in New
York for the Rev. Mr.. Hepworth, com
mitee reports that an iron building capable
of seating two thousand people on the
ground floor, can be built for $4,000,
while brick building of like dimensions
would cost 100000; the iron building
could be completed by Christmas; but the
brick building would consume eighteen
months in its erection. The superiority
of iron here chronicled over brick is fact
which we believe is not generally known.
When it becomes so we may reasonably
expect to see a decided change in the APP
pearance of the newer portions of our
cities, but whether for the better is mat
ter of doubt.

EXTRAORDINARY CUREs.-We have read
many accounts of the extraordinary cures
by DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BlTTERs, which have seemed incredible.
We are inclined to believe them, as many
of those who vouch for them are persons
whose veracity we can guarantee. The
newspapers TEEN with testimonials of this
character, and there is an air of particu-
larity and truth about them which cannto
be resisted. One manifest superiority the
VINEGAR BITTERs possesses over other Al
terative and Tonic preparations; it con-
tains none of the burning fluids with which
most advertised Bitters are impregnated.
1t cannot create Fever. Instead of clouding
the brain, it clears it if clouded. 1t is well
known that Alcohol, even of the purest
description, weakens and untones the
stomach instead of bracng it, and is, there
fore, poison in cases of Indigestion. Fancy,
then, what must be the effect of the cheap
fre-water, employed in making ordinary
Bitters and Tinctures, on the weakened
and inHamed digestive organs. VINEGAR
BITrERs, on the other hand, soothes the
stomach, while it increases the appetite
and relaxes the bowels. DR.. Walker is a
regular physician, and his remedies have
Just as much authority as any standard
remedies of the faculty. We believe they
are destined to become q household medi-
cine.-Csm.
