Limiting Apprentices.

From an article in the Penn Monthly, it
appears that there are but 5000 apprenti-
ces among 90, 112 journeymen, distributed
in 5000 establishments. This is but one
apprentice to every 2 p shops and every
| 26 workmen. There are at the same time
%, 900 youths in the city between the ages
of sixteen and twenty-one, and it is main
tained that many of these are debarred
from getting employment by the injudi-
cious action of the trades unions in placing
limitation upon the number of apprenti
ces. In Philadelphia, boys are forbidden
employment in newspaper offices, and in
hat and shoe factories; bricklayers and
plasterers also reject them, and moulders
allow but one apprentice to each shop, and
one to every ten men after. 9th r trades
also carry out this ostracism to greater
or less extent.
The same system prevails in all the chief
cities of the United States, and is de-
nounced by the employers as an unwar-
ranted dictation and as Of evil to society
by debarring boys from acquiring means
of support, and leaving them exposed to
the temptations that accompany an idle life.
The iourneymen maintain that the limiting
of apprentices is justified by circumstan-
ces: that the number allotted furnishes
sufficient raw material, and point to the
multitude of unemployed workingmen as
evidence that the labor market is not sut-
fering from depletion, but the contrary.
Such being the case, they hold that society
would not be benefited by an increase Of
apprentices but injured, as men, with fam
lies dependent upon them, must be put
aside to make room for the increased guam
tity of apprentices.
It's possible, from the understood dislike
of large numbers of American boys to
handicraft employment, that the reputed
evils attending the limiting of apprentices
may be exaggerated; but there can be
only one opinion among dlsinterested per
sons as to the selfshness of the policy Of
the trades societies. Boys have preroga-
tives as well as men, and among them is
the right to work, and any attempt to OBJ
struct them in its exercise cannot be de
tended upon any sound grounds. The fears
of the evils of an overssocked labor market
have not much weight in country like
ours; but, under any circumstances, there
would be no justification for debating to d
boy whether he shall live by his own labor
or not, or in prescribing to an employer
how many apprentices he shall employ.
1t is not only violation of the laws of po
htical economy, but tresspass upon the
constitutional rights of the citizen.

Building Societies in England.

It is estimated-for exact returns cannot
be procured-that there are 2, 900 building
societies now in existence in England and
Wales, the total number of members being
800, 900, with subscribed capital of over
SO, 900, 900, loan and deposit capital of
over $4,000, 600, total assets to the amount
of $4,000, 900, mortgage advances over
100000 and yearly income of more
than Ell 100000 One society has nearly
1000 members, end another 10000. The
income of single society is overs million
and half of pounds. So great is the con-
fide ce Of the publ C in these enterprises
that many of them have reduced the rat
of interest to four, and even three, per
cent to check the influx of deposits which
still come flowing in. In various districts
the banks find it difficult to compete with
them. The Saturday Revieoo says: eve
hear of single advance , not only of thou
sands, but of twenty and thirty thousand
pounds, being made by building societies,
sometimes on the security of mills and fac
tories; and there seems to be no doubt
that they have become to a large extent
middle-class organizations. On the other
hand, the Commissioners report that the
societies still do business mainly with the
wo king classes, or with class only
slightly superior to them in station. In
Birmingham, in Ashton-under-Lyne, and
elsewhere, they have greatly encouraged
the construction of houses for the working
and lower middle classes. The statistics
of these societies show that, notwithstand
ing our national reputation for improvi
dence, there is yearly an enormous sum in
the shape of savings seeking safe invest

ing, having previously paid her several
visits. The girls parents thinking both
too young to keep company with each
other, gave gentle hint to that effect
first by calling the girl out of the room,
and sending her to bed; and secondly,
by the lady of the house bringing into
the room huge slice of bread and but

youth, in her kindest manner, "There,

LOWEST TYPE oB HUMANITY.-On the
Island of Borneo has been found certain
race of wild creatures, of which kindred
varieties have been discovered in the Phi
lppine Islands, in Terra del Fuego, and in
South America. They walk usually,
almost erect on two leg and in that atti-
tude measure about four feet in height.
They are dark, wrnkled and hairy. They
construct no habitation, form no families,
scarcely associate together, sleep in caves
and trees, feed on snakes and vermin, on
ants eggs and on each other. They can
not be tanned or forced to any labor, and
are hunted and shot among the trees like
the great gorilla, of which they are a
stunted copy. When they are captured
alive, one finds with surprise that their
uncouth jabbering sounds like articulate
language. They turn up human face to
gaze at their captors, and the females show
instincts OF modesty; and, in fine, these
wretched beings are men.

ROMANTIC INcIDENT-The Rev. DIR
Adams. in his book of Thanksgiving
Memories" gives US the following Incl,
dent: "In the Cathedral of Limerick
there hangs chime of bells, which were
cast in Italy by an enthusiastic in bis
trade, who fixed his home near the monas,
terry where they were first hung, that he
might enjoy their sweet and solemn music
In some political revolution the bells were
taken away to some distant land, and the
maker himself became refugee and exile
His wanderings brought him, after many
years, in Ireland. On calm and beauti-
full evening" as the vessel which bore him
foated on the placid bosom Of the Shannon
suddenly the evening chimes pealed forth
from the cathedral towers. His expert,
enced ear caught the sweet sounds, and be
knew that his lost treasures were found
His early home, his oldfriends, his beloved
and native land, all the beet associations
oil his life were in those sounds. He laid
himself back in the boat, crossed his arms
upon his breast, and listened to the music
The boat reached the wharf, but still he
lay there, silent and motioness. They
spoke to him, but he did not answer. They
went to him, but his spirit had fled. The
tide of memories that came vibrating
through his heart at that well-knowr
chime had snapped its life-strings." II
was this incident that suggested to Moore
lis song OF THE Evening Bells"

A Sugar Plantation.

A party of Americans in Cuba, visited
q sugar plantation. One Of the party says
A turn in the road suddenly brought us in
view Of the cane field with the hands at
work. Men, women, and children, negroes,
and coolies, the men naked except as TO
the loins, were toiling amid tue stalks,
laying them low with each blow OF the
sickle, At distances Of few rods, figures
in broad -br;hmed hats, sat silently on
horsebs,k, with their long-lashed whips
lvin, crossed on the saddles before them.
Tuese were the drivers, and their business
was to see that the slaves Jagged not in
their labor. The place We visited was
called Santa Rosa. 1t belongs to son OF
the late Senor Aldama, President Of the
Cuban Junta in New York, and is under
seizure, and run by the government. An
administrator appointed by the civil au
thorities is in charge, and occupies the
fine mansion of the AIdamas with Gis own
family. He Is Spaniard.
The administrator abandoned the break
fast t.table when our party arrived and after
reading the letter Of introduction politely
offered to become our cicerone himself.
Sugar making, though somewhat compli-
Gated in its various processes of grinding,
boiling, refining, &C., is very simple in
theory. The cane just cut on the planta-
tion is carted to the grinding or MASKING
mill, through which it passes thoroughly
pressed, the refuse being thrown out one
way, while the juice runs into troughs,
which convey it to the boiling kettles.
After going through the boiling operation
the syrup is transferred to pans to cool
and drain, and in time it hardens into
sugar. 1t is ground to the pulverized
state by another machine, and worked
over by the laborerS with hoes and scraperS
before being finally put into hogsheads.
The hCeing stage is not calculated to im-
press the visitor with favorable idea OF
the cleanliness of his coffee sveetings.
Negroes nearly naked and recking with
perspiration, trample over the sugar in
their bare feet. " know now," shrieked
lady OF the party Where the toe nails
come from which we find in our brown
sugar at home" Alas it is too true.
But then how unhappy We would all be il
we knew exactly how everything we eat
is prepared, and is it not better that we
shut our eyes to the stern facts and accept
the legendary peck " without murmur
There are about five hundred hands en-
ployed on the Albania estate, 20 per cent.
of them beng coolies. They are worked
sixteen hours per day during the gather
ing and grinding season. Sunday is par
tial holiday. The finer work in the mill
is done by the Cinnamon. A Boston engi
neer has charge Of the machinery, and there
is another foreigner in the same depart
ment, an Englisbman. The machinery is
new and costly, and has the imprint Of
English and American makers.

A VIGILANCE CoMMITTEE.-Nowadays,
says New York paper, the terrible crime
of murder is yelled under so many fimsy
legal disguises that the very fundamental
laws of society seem to be disregarded by
those who are supposed to be the guardians
of law. A vigilance committee in the
metropolis of America may seem an extra
ordinary institution HI the present So
called age of progress and civilization, but
when life and property ere regarded as
mere trifes by judges and policemen, We
mag yet see Judge Lynch enthr ned here.
Meanwhile, the dangerous classes rejoice
at the bounteous harvest spread before
them, and peaceable and honest citizens
lose all confidence in the creatures placed
over them under the misnomer of guar
dians of the peace"

A STREET CAR GossIP.-A reporter Of
the Pittsburg (Pa.) Chronicle has been lis
tening when he ought to have been better
employed. What be heard is as follows
We found ourselves next to two ladies
evidently on their way to attend funeral
who, in the half hours ride, conversed o
nothing but death and burial. Itappeareo
that one of them only short time pre-
viously had been nigh unto deaths door
and indeed she showed signs of it yet
Her companion spoke Of the practice OF
attending funerals, and commented severely
upon persons who would stick themselves
into carriages to the exclusion of nearer
relatives to a possibly poor family that
could not afford large turnout of vehicles.
For herself, she kept back, unless family
that had plenty, and consequently suf1-
cient carriages for all. She spoke Of her
fathers goodness in attending funerals,
and averred that he never failed to be
present at the burial of friend or ac-
quaintance. Indeed" said she, "papa
would always 60 if it took the last cent in
the house. And now that you are well,'
she continued, " for if you were not we'll
shouldn't think of telling you've had it
all fixed to go to your funeral, for we were
sure you were going to die" The lady to
whom this rather dismal news was COM
municated, quietly expressed surprise, but
we doubt If she felt the qualification ex-
pected by the exhibition of such kindness
on the part of her friend.

MExIco.-I asked an intelligent member
of the Mexican Congress, says William
Cullen Bryant, how it was that instead
Of submitting quietly to the result of an
election as we here submit, even when it
is pretty manifest that the successful par
ty has used unfair means, his countrymen
so often resort to the sword, as if the qucs
ton of fairness could be settled by cutting
each Others throats. at is in our blood, "
he answered; cit is owing to the impa-
tience of our temperament. The cure must
be to invite emigration from countries like
the United States, where the popular vote
decides the matter, and the beaten party
takes its revenge by obtaining the major
ity at the next election" The remedy is
a sure one, but there is this difficulty in
applying it, that the emigrants will not
arrive until the evil shall be already
cured, and the country in state of perfect
quiet.

MURDER BY WHoLEsALE.-Some DAYS

MURDER BY WHoLEsALE.-Some days
since two men, named Tulden and Ander-
son, were murdered in Caldwell Sumner
