To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
without going into the merits of the strike, pro
or con, let me ask you, as favor, to contradict,
in yonr issue tomorrow, statement
made in this days HERALD, that ''Weber
would in all probability, accede to the demands Of
the men in few days." 1t is made out Of whole
cloth and there is not the first particle of truth in
1t. With one exception employ the largest number
of men in the pianoforte business in this city. My
men left their work two weeks ago. controlled by
a power stronger than mine, and which seems
to have become temporary epidemic. / have
guided them through every storm successfully
for the last eighteen years and do not doubt their
returning for their old pilot very shortly think
1t was Abe Lincoln who said "What can't be done
won't be DONE" and am convinced in my own
mind the Eight-H0ur law cannot be established in
the pianOfortc business at present and therefore IL
will not be established. Yours, very respectfully
A. WEBER.

INSTINCT OF TURTLES.

Audubon, the naturalist, stated that at a
certain places on the coast Of Florida sea-
turtles, those huge, stolid-looking reptiles
on which aldermen are fed at the expense
of the taxpayers, possess an extraordinary
faculty of finding places. Working their
way up out of the reach of the tide-water
with their Aippers, quite deep hole is ex-
cavated, in which batch of eggs ara depos-
tied and then carefully covered up. On
reaching the water they not unfrequeUtly
swim three hundred miles out to sea, f0rag-
ing for appropriate food. When another
batch of eggs are developed, after lapse
of about fourteen days, they will return un-
erringly in direct line, even in the darkest
night, and visit the buried eggs. Removing
the sand, more are deposited and secured.
Away they go again, as before. They know
instinctively the day and hour when the
young brood, incubated by solar rays, will
break the shell, and are promptly on the
spot to hberate them from their prison. As
soon as fairly out of the hole,the mother tur
tie leads them down the bank to the waves,
and there end her parental solicitude and
maternal duties.

member, not seeing him, commenced talk
ing. whereupon the Speaker OF the House
said: "The gentleman from Wayne has
the floor" Looking around upon ms Iel-
lo,y-legislators, bis courage failed, hls
tongue refused to do the bidding OF ms IN
tellect. Finally he stammered out, 81 only
got up to spit, and sat down amid roar
of laughter from ell who heard 1t. Inc
next morning this able speech was reportes
in full, and the political farmer was never
allowed TO forget this patriotic attempt to
