to cry because he had only one cent, and
tried to get it away from his brother.
Thereupon ensued a pugilistic contest,
which terminated in both boys being
locked in the closet.
"Boys will lie boys" remarked Mrs.
Pendleton philosophically. "It's rather
q pity. Job, we hadn't got a larger
house."
Job sat down to his dinner with
his children around him. He ate lit

with ravenous appetites. job reflected
moodily that his salary would never be
sufficient forssuch brood of cormorants.
However, it could not be helped. His
employers, in consideration of his pecu.
liar circumstances, and the rapid increase
of his family, have raised his salary two
hundred dollars, but even with this he
finds it hard to make both ends meet in
these times.

it, because he could not get it; and he
could not get 1t, because the Chinese sense
of justice and Chinese law are not as
thorough as our own. According to our
notion, property belongs to the man who
earns 1t, or to the man who has it by the
will of the Garner; his own ill-luck, or
even carelessness, can not alter the fact
that it Is his. OF course, we do not mean
to try to prove that man who finds a
cane should return it to the owner. We
wished merely to express our perplexity
as to the number Of thoroughly honest
people, and the number of the "indiffer-
ent honest" as Hamlet phrases it. Very
unpleasant stories were told about the
prevalence of thieving in the army. Very
unpleasant experience would indicate that
hazy ideas upon property are much more
common than we should like to think.
The subject is forbidding one the fic-
ton is that everybody is honest; and we
fancy there is tendency among public
teachers to hold the question at arms
length, and to treat it with somewhat
too refined aversion.-Hearh and Home.

Strikes.

Within the last year there have beer
numerous attempts on the part of the
workingmen to better their condition by
demanding higher wages or shorter
working hours. Usually this demand il
strengthened by the men ceasing to work
until such time as their requests bt
acceded to. These strikes have
proved of loss both to the cap
italist and men. Millions of dollars have
been taken from the pockets of both par
ties, besides much i'll will engendered by
such proceedings.
Strikes in reality do not better the con
dition of the workingman for this reason
because the man has an interest i'm the
business of his employer. The machine

comes, in time, standing bank from

ment, and the men lose their only source
of revenue. But if the laborers refuse to
work, on account of their being i'll paid
they themselves bring misery upon Their
own heads. The owner, on the other
hand, in having his machinery lie idle,
sustains also a heavy loss. The profit
that accrues to him from the sale of his
products stops, while he has still to pay
his taxes, etc. The capitalist and laborer
are bound together in indissoluble bonds.
Without the one the other is powerless.
There is mutual exchange of services
from the one, wages; from the other, la
Dor. 1t is true that the laboring classes
are often oppressed; but it is not needful
for them to try to right the matter them
selves, except in extreme cases. 1t is to
the benefit of the capitalist that he have
skilled labor, and only can he obtain this
with high wages. Moreover, by giving
high rates for labor, he will stimulate his
men to do their best. Let the capitalist
that the skillful artisan will
not work for a small remuneration, and
their places will be supplied by those who
neither have the ability nor the incentives
to become good, honest, reliable workmen.
Let the laborer bear in mind that wages
tend to rise as the business is profitable,
and vice versa. Capitalists should be al
ways willing to pay for labor well-and
they will lose nothing, but rather gain
great deal. Workingmen should be slow
to engage in "strikes" for their grievances
will surely be righted in time. Strikes
only occasion sorrow and misery, and
sometimes threaten the ruin of whole
families. Let thoughtful men consider
this point, and surely they will see the
allacy that underlies all "strikes". .-Er-

No estimate can be made OF the value of human
life. It's beyond appraisement The wealth Of

Willingly. The laws of health are simple enough,

A Curious Climate.

THE climate of Peru is set forth by a
correspondent as exceedingly peculiar
and strange. 1t never rains there, we are
told, but during certain seasons, and
when the atmosphere is filled with
clouds, "dew falls so thick, heavy and
continuous that it will saturate the heavi-
est clothing in less than half an hour"
The coming and going of the clouds that
distill this dew is another strange thing
connected with Peru. The changes are
reported so rapid and violent as to startle
the stranger. One may be walking along
the street, glorying in the rich warmth
of the sunshine, and admiring the deep,
clear blue sky, when suddenly, and al
most imperceptibly, change takes place,
''and from the southwark a mass of dark
clouds come rolling swiftly across the fir
mament, and soon the blue sky is re-
placed by somber pail, and to the glor-
ious sunshine succeeds drizzling, pene-
trating mist" And this is also as sudden
ly changed again; even while one is pre-
pairing to guard against the mist, the sun
light and the sky re-appear in all their
brightness and beauty.

THE ICE LAST NIGHT.
A CUTTING DOWN OF STEAMERS
THREATENED.

Heavy Ice ran BY this harbor yesterday
all day, but the heaviest that has been
known for many years came down las,
night. About eight o'clock Il became
evident that serious damage to the ship.
ping might DO tho result, and those mos,
interested set about " prepare for the
threatened destruction. Extra lines and
'astenings were put out from the steamers
and whsrfboats, but the powerful current
and the immense fields Of ice came cutting
and crashing past, and strong hsusers,
lines and chains were ea.ily parted by
the mighty gorge.
Halliday Brothers moved the books and
valuable papers off their whsrf.boat to
their Office on the levee, and many like
precautions were taken by other parties
having similar Interests.
Phillips wharf-boa. was somewhat pro-
tected by barge which was moored i'm.
mediately In front Of it, breaking the cur
rent and keeping il cloar Of ice.
Of the steamers, the Exporter and Glas-
gov seemed to DO in tho greatest danger,
tho former being exposed to the ice with
out any possible chance Of escape.
About IL o'clock the Tyrone came down
completely surrounded by ice. She was
carried into port stern foremost, and VIVA,
seemed almost impossible, safely landed
below the st. Charles hotel.
Up to o'clock no serious damsgo had
taken place, but the situation grows more
dangerous every hour. 1t is said, by those
who seem best informed, Ito be the heaviest
Ice that has ever gone out of the Ohio.
