New unions have recently been organised
in Beardstown, ILL.,, Milwaukee and Chi
cago. Instructions to organize have been
received from Charleston, S. c., Uhrichs-
vile, Ohio, and Evanston, Wyoming Ter

NEW GERMAN UNIoNs.-Brother John
Connolly, Cor. Sec. of No. 8 of illinois,
under date Of April 25th, writes a. fol-
lows:
''Our German fellow craftsmen of Chi
cago organized last evening with twenty.
two charter members. 1t was really en-
courAging to see the interest manifested
upon the occasion. / have no doubt but
that IN less than six months they will be
ahead OF No 3. They mean business"
Under the head OF General Correspon-
dence viii he found . letter from Broth
er Williams, Cor. Sec. Of No. / Of Wis
consin, bearing the intelligence Of the or
ganization ~ q German union in Milwau-
kee, and 80 the work goes bravely on.
What do Detroit, st. Louis, PHILADELPHIA.
Brooklyn, Boston and Pittsburgh say.
Can We not have German unions in those
placesi Let US hear from them. We aug
gest that our German unions open fire on
the above places, and cease not until they
surrender.
For THE CONSIDERATION OF THE Con-
ING CoovENTIoN.-We are in recent of
letters from various portions Of the coun-
try asking for information concerning the
admission az boiler-makers a. members of
our organization. The question of ad.
uniting boiler-makers was brought before
the Columbus and Cleveland conventions az
the international Union, but, a. the boiler
makers themselves did not bring much in
huence to bear, the proposition to alter the
constitution to extend the jurisdiction Of
our union was defeated. We hope. howev-
er, that our friends among the boiler
makers will make proper effort at the next
convention, which will meet in Albany. and
We feel quite confident that the machinists.
blacksmiths and boiler-makers win stand
united under the flag Of our union. We
deem it essentially for the benefit Of the
three trades above named that they be uni
ted under one head, and hope that our
friends, the boiler-mAkers, viii not be
backward, but consider the columns of the
Journal open TO them. Let NJ hear from
them.

THE STORY OF AN ATOM.

The atom of charcoal which fioated
in the corrupt atmosphere OF the old
volcanic ages was absorbed into the
leaf of fern when the valleys be-
came green and luxurisnt and there,
in its proper place, it received the
sunlight and the dew, aiding to fling
back to heaven a reflection of heav-
ems gold, and at the same time to
build the tough fiber of the plant
The atom was consigned to the tomb
when the waters submerged the
jungled valley. 1t had lain three
thousands Of years, and month since
was brought into the light again, i'm
bedded in block of coal. 1t shall
be consumed to warm our dwellings,,
cook our food, and make more ruddy
and cheerful the hearth whereon our
children play; it shall combine with
portion of the invisible atmosphere,
ascend upward as curling wreath,
to revel in the may dance high up
in the blue ether, shall reach the
earth again, and be entrapped into
the embrace of q flower; shall live
in velvet beauty on the cheek of the
apricot shall pass into the human
body, giving enjoyment to the palate
the health to the blood /; shall circu-
late in the delicate tissues ofthe brain,
and aid, by entering into some new
combination, in reducing The thoughts
which are now being uttered by the
pen. 1t is but an atom of charcoal !;
it may dwell one moment in stag
nant ditch, and the next be flushing
on the lip of beauty; it may be a
component of a limestone rock, and
the next an ingredient in 8 field of
potatoes; it may slumber for q thous-
and years without undergoing single
change, and the next hour pass
through thousand, and after all it
is only an atom of charcoal, and oc-
cupies only its own place, wherever
it may be.-Hi65ard s 's-Bram6ls and

Two dolorous residents of town
near Kansas City agreed to take a
short cut to heaven by committing
suicide. In order to compare sensa-
tons they decided to bid farewell to
life in different ways, and chose as
appropriate helps to holy dying the
razor and revolver. The razor man
carried out his part of the compact
promptly, cutting his throat from ear
to ear the next morning. His friend
anxious not to disturb the quiet of
the town, started for the nearest for
est. The way was long, and his Bob
Acreish courage oozed out with such
rapidity that he was forced to stimu-
late himself for his task by drinking
long and deep. A paper found in the
suicides room told the story of the
agreement, and anxious friends.
searching for the corps of the other
party, found him a very lively corpse
indeed, indulging in maudlin sobs
and professions of penitence, and
declaring his earnest intention to live
three score years and ten, and as
much longer as he could. He has
since been arrested. In q similar
case, year ago, Partisan jury con-
demned a man to long Imprisonment
as an accessory to his friends self.

A PLEA FOR CANDY.

Tue child often has a strong desire
for sweet foods and sweetmeats. This
shows want of carbon in the system
that he is needing a large amount
of it. When the child so earnestly
pleads for candy-his idea of the su.
gar he so much c1ye.s-feed it to him;
only being careful of the quality and
the quantity he shall use at any time.
Th re is an instructive feeling about
these wants, and if they are not graft
fed in some form the child does not
fill that want Of its body, and this
vacancy will in after life tell against
his health in some way
Many are the cries against eating
candies and sugar, as making the
child bilious and black, or that it rots
the teeth; but the want of it makes
more puny children than the use of it
in any form everinjured; the want of
it rots more teeth than were ever hurt
by its use. Then let US feed them on
the rational principles ofa demanding
appetite.

A SINGULAR CUSTOM.

In the Ukraine, the women are

men. Says q writer who describes
their manners: "When q young
woman falls in love with q man, she
is not in the least ashamed to 60 to
his fathers house, and reveal her
passion in the most tender and pat
thetic manner, and to pronounce the
most submissive obedience; if he vii
accept of her as a wife. Should the
insensible man pretend any excuse
she tells him she is resolved never Il

consent, and accordingly takes u
her lodgings and remains there; j
he still obstinately refuses, his cas-

kindred to revenge her honor; 8
that he has no method left but to b,

BEREA COLLEGE IN Kentucky, is

stand open to whites and blacks alike.
It is a center from which the infiu-

and though just before the war, Its
leaders we're banished by committee
sent from Richmond, Kentucky, its
members had already become part
of the community. They are recog-
nized now by the people as not aliens,
but belonging to the soil. In this
they have a practical advantage that
newcomers from the North cannot
attain. Their college is based on the

CUT UNI TOO SHORT
The distance betweenmy

~~The distance hetween-my
post and Santa Fe was over three
hundred miles, and to facilitate mat
ters / was ordered to survey q new
and shorter route-cutting Oft about
seventy miles. A company, number
ing eighty men, was detailed for the
purpose; and, as the course led part
| iy through a wooden region, q con-
siderable squad was required to act
as sxmen. Three or four lively black
and. tan terriers accompanied the
command, sffording no little amuse-
ment by their activity in snapping
up unwary gophers, rats mice and
other yermin. The aborigines, who
frequently honored US with their
presence, claiming to he "Good IN
dian, me-, were excessively pleased
at those performances. On q certain
occasion, one stalwarth fellow, who
spoke a few words of English, said TO
me.
"Nantanh, heap good dog"
"Yes,' I replied, "they are good
dogs.'
"Cut sem ear, cut 'em tail, make
'um good dog p
"Certainly; it is because their ears
and tails are trimmed that they get
round go lively.'
"Aough! Me got good dog; cut
'um tail ?"
"Yes, bring your dog, I'll have
him fixed for you."
Next day my Navajo friend appear
ed with o small, black, Indian fee,
sporting a long tail, and ears to cor
respond. Unrolling this precious
quadruped from his blanket, he sig
nifed his desire to have the job done
without delay so called two men,
and bsde one hold the dog while the
other docked his tail with an ak.
This did not suit Redskin, who refus-
ed to trust his favorite to the tender
mercies of savage white man, and
preferred to perform the operation
himself. 1 therefore ordered one OF
the men to hold the dogs tail over q
convenient log, while the others hold
his head and fore paws. All being
ready the Indian seized an ak, but
instead OF using it as any other per-
son would have done, he swung the
blade high above his head with both
hands, as if the object to be separa-
ted required his whole strength.
Just then the soldier who held his
tail gave it sudden pull, while the
the other at the head gave a cores
ponding push. Down came the
keen weapon, dividing the unfortu-
nate "purp" just forward of the hind
quarters, to the infinite disgust of the
Indian, who picked up the disjointed
halves, threw his blanket over his
shoulders with indescribable dignity,
and exclaimed in cultural accents:
