Thus are accounted for number of

The Workman's Paradise.

Switzerland may be termed. in one
sense, the paradise Of workingmen, for
employers, the authorities, and private
persons vie with each other in zeal-
ously promoting their material inter
ests. Politically and socially, all are
on footing of absolute equality; ed
ucation is alike for all, and wealth is
very evenly distributed. In no other
country are land and property SO
equally divided among the mass of the
people. AS there are none very poor
so there are none very rich, and there
are not more than three per cent. Of
the population who return thems elves
as being of mo occupation"
This is partl ly due to the thoroughly
democratic spirit which prevails, and
partly to the small and manageable
size of the republic. It consists OF
twenty five cantons, each having its
own peculiar laws, manners and Gus
toms. The principle of decentraliza
ton is carried to its extreme points,
and everything is done by mutual vol
untary assistance, friendly combina
ton, and cooperative societies, in
which masters, workingmen, and, in
deed, all classes, meet on equal foot
ing, and in the most fraternal spirit
to devise schemes for the general well
fare. The Swiss operative lives in his
own home, surrounded by his family.
and at spare times cultivating his own
land, while the Swiss agricL :urist, in
his leisure hours at some handicraft oi
trade, such as watch making, weav-
ing, toy making, OF wood carving
The mutual relations between masters
and men are excellent, and though
they have in one or two instances
been disturbed, it has always been due
to foreign ag;tators. In times of de
preston OF trade the employers
keep the factories going, even at di
rect pecuniary loss to themselves
they subscribe to the sick and pension
funds and the schools, literally assis
in cases of accident, and when struck
down by illness the operative may b'
certain of being as kindly treated as il
he were with his family. 1t is stated
that the result of this considerate be
nevoIence is visible in the almost in
variable good conduct of the men
They are likewise attached to each
other, and any quarrel, among
themselves is usually referred to theil
employ and his decision is consid
cred by them ultimate and binding

; Touching Devotion.

One of the most fearful cases ever
told on paper is this, of a little boy,
a mere child, who travelled one thou
sand and four hundred miles, taking
care of the body of his mother all the
way.
An eXpressman, upon reaching his
office early one morning in January,
observed on the sidewalk a long,
heavy box, which his practiced eye at
once identified as containing a corpse.
Upon the end of the box, shivering
with cold, sat a little half-clad boy
about seven or eight years of age sAd-
dressing him kindly, he said:
MY lad, don't sit there, you viii
freeze. Come in and sit by the fire."
Bursting into tears, the little fellow
replied:
mo, can't come. My mother is
in this box, and 1 promised her that
l would not leave her until We got
home"
Deeply affected with the touching
devotion of this brave little fellow, he
finally succeeded in convincing him Of
the entire safety of his precious
charge, and taking him to neighbor-
ing restaurant gave him a warm break
fast, and then learned the particulars
of his story.
His father died about a year pre-
viously in remote village in Mime
sofa, leaving his mother in poor health
and nearly destitute. She died but a
few days before the boys sad journey,
charging the little hero with the sad
duty of conveying the remains to a
distant State, and furnished him with
(all she had) a sum of money barely
sufficient to carry them both by
freight cars to their destination.
The little fellow had actually rid
den day and night in freight car with
his melancholy trust, never for mo-
ment losing sight of her.

A Bull Fight in New Mexico.

The Santa Fe New Mexican, which
acknowledges an Indebtedness to
cock-fghting for the amusement of
its citizens, says its sister city of Las
Lagas goes "a few better and makes
''bnlly' entertainment for its sport
ing population. 1t declares.
Santa Fe amuses itself with cock
fights, but our sister city, Las Vagas,
goes US few better and makes a bully
entertainment for the sporting citi-
zens. We are really informed that
the bull-fighter stands with huge
sharp cheese knife directly in front
of the flaming eyes of the maddened,
charging bull (he is previously made
there, and waltzes a few steps of ''La
Sentinela" to give a graceful effect
raises his murderous weapon straight
in the air above his head; cries
''CarajO y and for few seconds dis
appears from view in the lightning
rapidity of his movements. He is
next seen superbly bowing and sweet
ly smiling, while the infurited beast
is observed to have a bloody collar
around his neck-the skilful hero has
entirely severed his connection be
tween the skin on the head and the
rest of the body! The animal turns
and with a speed doubled by his in
creased rage, charges upon his would
be victim again. The daunted glad
iator, with distended nostrils, flashing
eyes and compressed lips, kicks ou
fat one leg and then the other. He is
making preparations for a desperate
effort He hurls his knife from him
He sees no one now but his dreadful
antagonist. AS the contestants rap
idly approach each other, the vas
audience is breathless with interes
and excitement, and just at that fear
full moment when the spectators, be
holding the horns of the incarnate bul
f1end at the breast of the gladiator
hide their faces from the horrible Wis
ion, the gladiator strikes both thighs
blows his muscle, snorts, spring
above the bull, turns a double somer
sault, grasps the uplifted tail as h
passes, strikes fair on his feet, give
the bull a swing, a short whip-lik
jerk, and sends him out OF his hid
with loud pop like the sudden burst
ing of eleven hundred bladders. H

vanquished antagonist and leaps OF

"A great many bets have been Of
fered and made during the present
campaign, but we have not seen one
equal to that proposed by the Demo
crat in the grand opportunity it affords
to the Greeley men to vindicste their
party, and st the same time to win a
good deal of money. We renew it,
and republish it now in the language
of the original proposition:
The Democrat will take the list of
delegates to the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, and will give $1,000 for every
man on it who had not applied for
and been refused a federal Office, or
been defeated for office by the people,
if any other newspaper in the land
will agree to give 500 for every man
on it who was a defeated or disap-
pointed candidate. Thus, if more
than one in ten of those who CON-
posed that assemblsge can show a
record of disinterested patriotism, We
shall lose money. We shall be out of
pocket just in proportion as We fail
to prove that ninety per cent of the
Cincinnati delegates were bummers
and soreheads. This proposition
open till election day. TSt. Louis

The viii of the Late Mr.. Seward.
1.-The Various BeQUests--Estafe
Valued at 100000.

AUBURN, N. Y, Oct 16.-The will
of the late VIM. II. Seward was open
ed by his family to day. 1t is clear
and succinct document, singularly free
from legal technicalities, and written
in his own hand. He bequeaths his
late home at Auburn, with all its con
tents and surroundings, to his three
sons, by one or more of whom it will
doubtless be oecupiad and preserved
intact, as far as possible, in the pres
ent condition. His other property,
consisting in part of securities, but
mainly of real estate in Auburn and
in this locality, he divides into four
equal shares, among his sons, Angus
tus, Frederick and, William, and his
adobted daughter, Olive Risley Sew
ard, the two last named being deputed
to execute this provision of the instru-
ment. No other leeacies or bequests
are made. The property is not yet
appraised, and it is impossible to say
precisely what it amounts to, but
it VIII probably be not far from 5000
900,

Show Sensation.

The E'lion tamer' OF Sells Brothers
establishment gave street exhibition
on Saturday, at Columbus, O., quite
as terrific as anything to be seen un-
der the canvass. In the procession of
streets a short time previous to the
afternoon performance was a cage
containing two or three majestic lions.
In order to make the street parade as
affective as possible, the wooden
blinds of the cage had been removed,
exposing the beasts to public view,
and their keeper had entered the den
to give free exhibition of menagerie
gymnastics. A crowd of boys kept
close to the wagon, and the animals
became excited. For some time it ap-
peared to require an unusual exercise
of authority to keep the brutes in sub
lection, and finally when the wagon
had reached the corner of High and
Friend streets, one of them absolutely
refused to obey the commands of the
keeper, but instead growled savagely
and sAewed his teeth, and made other
demonstrations indicative of his inten-
| ton to have a first class fight. The
keeper, deeming it hazardous to un
| dertake to restore discipline while the
crowd was gathered around prudently
withdrew to the rear of the cage, and
expertly opened the door and jumped
to the ground, closing the door again
just as the infuriated animal made a
desperate dash for liberty and revenge,
roaring his b0isterous left-handed
compliments as he threw himself with
great force against the frame work
The animal was punished for bad be
havior by the punching process
through the bars of the cage.
Mr. John Cummins, a farmer VIII {
sat in a spring wagon near by, was al
interested observer Of the performance
but his horses became frightened an6
started westward on Friend street, a
u terrific pace. Just as they were
leaving High street they made q short
turn swapping the pole from the axle
tree and relieving themselves of th,
weight Of the wagon. Mr.. Cummins
who tightly grasped the lines, wa
jerked from the wagon, his head strik
ing the flag stone crossing. He wa
picked up in an unconscious condi
ton and carried into Merion's grocery
where he received careful attention. l
was found that he had sustained II
serious injury. and he was soon abl
to take care of himself, although con
siderably Jared and bruised. Th
horses were caught before they ha
run the distance of a square, Co

A Saucy 'HIaIe Boy

Apropos of an announcement in the
Lumpkin Independent that it suspen-
ded publication for a week, in order
that all hands might enjoy the Fourth
and the Spann hanging in Webster
county, the Columbus Inquirer tells
this story: Zone johnson Hooper
edited the East Alabamamian, in Cham
bers country, three or four centuries
ago, in the early recollection of the
editor of the Inquirer. The mail boy
who brought the news Friday after
moons was always tardy until an op-
perfume hanging brought him to time
at once. Hooper was SO tickled that
he wrote an article hoping that a
negro or mail rider would be hung
every Friday The mail boy thus
neatly replied: IN. Hupper-Ser ::
Yu think yu done nifty smart thing
abusing the mail rider. But lie let yu
know lie go to see a niger hung

leave of you or yours d0d-rotted

Laura Fair in Court.

She was dressed, as usual, in deep
black-black silk dress, black hat and
veil. and gloves. Everything was
black except her face, which was as
white as parian marble. Her golden
curls trailed down through the folds
Of her somber veil, and seemed like
rays of sunlight streaming through q
hlackened cloud. She seated herself
at the lawyers table, and, resting her
head upon her hand, seemed lost in
reverie. In the opening proceedings
she took no interest whatever. She
sat with her eyes on the floor, and
only lifted them when her counsel
made some remark. Her veil was kept
down closely over her face, and her
features were almost entirely hidden
from the eager, curious gaze of the
crowd. Later in the day, when the
names of the jurors were called, she
manifested a slight degree of interest;
but when, one after another, they
were excused because they entertain
ed opinions, she seemed to gather
from the circumstances a knowledge
of how little sympathy there was in
the cold, hard faces about her. For
while she listened, but soon sank
back in her chair, evidently disharten
ed and depressed. Once she smiled
when listening to the questioning of an
idiot who was on the stand under ex-
animation as to his qualifications to
sit on the jury, but it was q sickly,
mournful smile, and passed away as
soon as it came. Sitting apart from
the prominent actress in the scene was
another, older lady. She, too, was at
tired in black and looked sad and sor-
rowful This was the mother of Mrs.
Fair. She had come into court before
Mrs. Fair, but when the. latter entered
she did not notice her. Neither spoke
to the other, and both sat apart, silent
and alone. In the afternoon Mrs.
Lane again entered court, but Judge
Quint went up to her and whispered
something. After this Mrs. Fair was
left entirely alone with her counsel

What Greeley Knows About
Soldiers!

Soldiers, remember the words of
Horace Greeley at Pittsburg, aimed to
curry favor with the South at the ex-
pense Of insulting not only the $4,000
gathered at Pittsburg, but not the less,
the hundreds of thousand throughout
the country who still revere the boys
who wore the blue. Read again the
poor, fawning, whipped dog expires
sion at Pittsburg:
q The city of Pittsburg has just wit
messed rehearsal of the pomp and
pageantry, the blazonry and circum-
stance of civil war. A very large
number of men were collected at vast
expense, with the single purpose of re-
kindling the bitterness and hatred, the
animosity and antipathies, the fears
and Civilizations of civil war for the ad
vancement Of political party. I take
you to witness that the greateFportior
of the journals of Pittsburg, as well as
the orators on this occasion, have
been trying theft best to make US, The
people, hate each other for the sake o.
partizan- advantages. A strange
would imagine, who was reading The
journals of Pittsburg for the last few
days that we were still at war, ant
that their purpose was to revive ant
exasperate the hatred and animosit.
of civil war. In order to intensity ant
invigorate their side of the conflict

Destroying the Vine to Abolish

of wine. To do this he wishes to
breed everywhere some insects that
will Go the work effectually. A family
Of insects with the fearfully long name,
Phyorern Ta8tatri1, have already
cut down the grape crop of Portugal
to one twenty fifth of its usual size.
The vineyards of Switzerland are dis
appearing before it's destructive raw
ages, and Hungarian vines are begin
ming to suffer. Remedies have hith-
erto proved useless.
Per contra, dressing Of oil of gar
lie has been suggested by NJ. Won
Hamm, of the Ministry of Agricul-
ture. at Vienna, as a remedy for this
insect. We do not care to take this
dilectible condiment with our grapes,
still it may not be obnoxious to the
inhabitants of sunny Italy, Spain, and
othor Mediterranean countries.
Years ago, during the temperance
furore East, many conscientious farm
ers cut down their apple orchards,
and had to buy their supply of frnit

produce alcohol, the world will GO

An Experiment With Paper Car
Wheels.

The Springfield Republican says the
Connecticut River Railroad Company
is about introducing for trial set OF
paper car wheels under the forward
truck OF one of its engines. These
wheels have been known to ar-huild=
ers for some time, but the demand for
them has been moderate, on account
of their cost, not Withstanding the
admitted fact that they are safe and
easy going. The wheels are manu-
factured by bringing a pressure OF
$50 tons upon the sheets of common
straw paper, which forces them into a
compact mass, which is then turned
perfectly round and a hub forced
into hole in the center, this requiring G
pressure of % tons weight. The
tire is of steel, and has one quarter
inch bevel upon its inner edge, thus
allowing the paper filing to be forced
in, 250 tons pressure being requered
in the process. Two iron plates, one
upon each side Of the paper, are bolt
ed together, which prevents the posi-
bility of the filings coming out. The
tire rests on the paper only, and par
takes of its elasticity in consequence
Although these wheels are much more
expensive than those in common use,
the patentee claims that they are
cheaper in the end, as they wear long.
er, injure the tracks less, run with less
noise than wheels on any other pat
tern.
