WE would say to our correspondent, who
writes us upon the subject of English wa
ges and the condition of English laboring
children, that we have no recollection of
stating at any time in our columns, that
common laborers in England received only
thirty-six cents day at all events, it could
not have been recently that any such state
mcnt appeared, unless in some communica-
tlonor clipping where the fact escaped edito-
rial notice. We are aware that the wages of
common laborers in England have been, for
several years past, as high as two shillings
and sxpence a day, and from that to four
shillings and upwards for machinists and
blacksmiths, with still higher wages for ma
sons, and for puddlers, heaters and rollers
in iron work. We could have made no
such statement as our correspondent refers
to, therefore, without being at once aware
of our own error in the premises. There
are countries on the continent where the
wages of common laborers are as low as
thirty-six cents a day, and it is possible
that our correspondent may have confound-
ed some statement of this sort with his
English common aborer. gsM
AS to the laboring of children of tender
years in the brick yards of England, we are
not quite so clear that our correspondent is
not himself in error. We would refer him
to a recent work published in London,
Qs7D, entitled, ''The Cry of the Children
from the Brick-yards of England, {" in which
the writer, Mr.. George Smith, says SIN
our brick-felds and brick-yards, there are
from twenty to thirty thousand children
from as low as three and four up to sixteen
and seyenteen-undergoing bondage Of

In late letter to the Missouri Democrat
" Mack" relates story Of an unsophisti-
Gated gentleman from the West who recent
ly dropped into the hall of the House of
Representatives to see the sights. Beckon-
ing to a neatly attired citizen of African
descent who stood near him, and who mod
estly answered his call he said to him, "Jim,
will you show me to the barber's shop
want to get shaved and have my boots
BACKED" This was a little too much for
"Jim," who was none other than one of
the honorable members from South Caro-
lina--Mr. Elliott. "'Scuse me, sah," said
Elliott, "Pse not waitah, I'se amembah.'
Unfortunately for the truth of this recital,
it so happens that Mr.. Elliott-who by the
way is as black as the ace of spades-is a
highly educated and accomplished gentle
man, possessing the culture and polish Of
some of the best European schools. We are
quite certain that the purity Of his English
would not suffer from comparison with the
language of a majority of his white col
leagues. aE

WE haye several letters and commune
cations on hand which we find it impossible
to print. The trouble with correspondents
and writers for newspapers, outside of the
editorial chair proper, except when they
furnish news of importance, is, that they
enter upon topics which have been more
or less exhausted by us in advance of their
communications. Their intentions are good,
and many times their articles are well and
even felcitously written, but the same
or similar points have been touched by us
until the theme is threadbare, and our read
ers want no more of it.. Let our friends
remember, once for all, that we solicit no
communications from any quarter, except
those which may convey valuable facts of
information and news to our readers. These
we are always thankful for, and hope in
time to pay literally for. ~r ra
