SAMPLING COTTON IN LIVERPOOL.

The Manchester Examiner reports that the
Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Association, in
reply to suggestion made some months
ago by the association, have received letter
from the authorities Of the enclosed Dock
Warehouse at Liverpool, to the effect that
when cotton damaged by sea water Is landed
in future, 1t will be slowed apart and sampled
separately, samples Of both sound and dam
aged being sent to the Offices for sale. The pre-
vious practice, they say, is TO sample the
sound bales only, leaving the damaged
bales on one side, and, after the sale, 10
pick and make them nerchantable, dellv-
ering them 10 the buyer, pro rata with the
sound bales. The practical effect of this ar
rangement, however, is dsadrantageous 10
the buyers, who, having only seen samples oil
the good cotton, are compelled 10 take, also, a
proportion OF the 'back leaf" cotton samples
Of which they have not seen; and a real.
though, of course, not an intentional fraud is
thus often practiced upon. This eqnivocal
state of things 1t is hoped the new arrange
ment will effectualy prevent. The association
have sent copy of this resolution to all pri-
vste warehouses, with the request that they
will adopt similar course.

with the solution of this riddle. A lew weeks

THE GREAT LABOR STRIKE.
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN BAND
ED TOGETHER IN NEW YORK.

Important Details OF the proposed
Movement in April-The Aims OF the
Strike-An the Building Mechanics
Pledged to Act Together.
[BY The SOUTHERN AND ATLANTIC LINE
NEW YORK, March %.
The impending strike amongst the trades
in this city will, 1t Is claimed, be on an even
larger scale than that of last year. The strug-
gleSss not to be confined to one trade at
time, for all, under the line of building trades
have had an understanding with the Eight
Hour League, and these men, numbering in
all eighty thousand mechanics, will strike In
the same hour. The majority of the orglniza-
tion Will strike ostensibly for the eight hour
movement. The carpenters and joiners ask
for an increase In their pay of two dollars r'.'
dlsm. The Germans connected with the
Elght-hour League demand an Increase OF
twenty.fv per cent. on all work. tbs exeeu-
tive committees of all the trade societies
have been asked to lend, their cooperation,
30 that the strike may be unanimous. The
president of the Workingmen's Union says
that one hundred thousand men will strike at
once In this city, and that their action will be
followed by those o. Boston, Chicago, st.
Louis, San Francisco and other places. No
action will be taken before April.

men spend more money for the luxuries than

that many people are poor when their hard
earnings are wasted on indulgencies which
do harm instead of good Bread is the great
staple of food, and 5000, ,OO0,O 900 were spent
last year for -four to feed our people. But
the tobacco sold in the country for chewing
and smoking and snuff cost s25O,OOO,O0O
about seven dollars for every man, woman
and child.
This is bad enough, but the cost Of intoxi'
eating liquors consumed in 1870, was s6OO,'

every man, woman and child. A very large
amount of this is used in poor families, and
reduces them to want and wretchedness.

extravaganza would soon cease and the

VACCINATIoN-The following brief ex-
tract is from an article in the last Boston
Medical and. Surgical Journal upon the
subject of vaccination. The Journal is very
high medical authority in this country, and
We add that the recent prevalence Of Il ma
lignant type Of smallpox in Boston is excl
ting an unwontod degree of professional at
tention to the subject
The following propositions are offered as
matters Of belief, and some Of them matters
Of record:
l. Without vaccination, one death in ten
from all causes would be the result Of small
pox.
2. Without vaccination, nineteen out OF
twenty would have small pox.
3. Without vaccination, sixty seven per
cent of the cases Of small pox would be IA
tai
1. With vaccination, not two per ceut OF
the inhabitants will take the small pox
D. With vaccination, the percentage OF
deaths from small pox is only about eight of
the two per cent who will take it.
6. y larger percentage of those who have
had small pox will have the secondary dis
ease than those who have been vaccinatcd.
That is to say, vaccinia is better preven-
tion in variooid than small pox is
Z. Humauized virus is more likely to take
than the original virus from the COW.
8. Humanizcd virus, whether it takes OF
not, does not produce such violent con>tlu-
tional symptoms as primary COW virus does.
0. 1t is not proved that either humanizcd
virus or primary COW virus is the better in
It's protective results.
10 There are certain individuals who do
not seem susceptible of variola.
II. There are certain individuals who do
not seem susceptible Of vaccination.
II. The taking Of small pox after vaccl-
nation is no proof that second vaccination
would have succeeded.
13 \ successful re vaccination is no proof
that the individual rc-vaccinatca would have
