SLANG TALK BY YOUNG LADIES'
Young ladies have but little idea of the
impoliteness and bad effect of the slang
phrases often used in so-called polite socie.
ty. An exchange says, in word of advice
to any who are partially or wholly addicted
to it:
"You have no idea how it sounds to ears
unused or averse to it to hear young lady
say, when she is asked if she will 20 with
you to some place, Not much = or, if re.
quested to do something which she does not
wish, to hear her say, 'Cant see it,
"Not long ago | heard young miss who
is educated and accomplished, in speaking
Of young man say that she intended to
go for him' And, when her sister asked
her assistance at some work, she answer
ed /: Not for Joe!'
Now, young ladies of unexceptional
character and really good education fall into
this habit, thinking it shows smartness to an
swer back in slang phrases and they soon
slip fippantly from their tongues with a
saucy pertness that is neither ladylike nor
becoming. L bet,' or you bet is bad
enough among men who are trading
horses Or land; but the contrast is
startling and positively shocking to hear
those words issue from the lips of young
lady. They seem at once to surround her
with the rougher association of mems
daily life, and bring her down from the
pedestal of purity to their own coarser
.leyel.D

A GENERAL EIGHT-HoUR STRIKE
THREATENED IN ALL THE LARGE
CITIEs.-The Boston Sunday Herald is
informed by a prominent member of the
United order of carpenters and joiners and
the amalgamated union that the commotion
in the organization in New York is only a
premonitory symptom of a general up.
heaving at an early date in all the large
cities Of the north, south, east and west.
The local branches of the order in all sec
tons have been holding large and enthusiasts
tic secret meetings, and general plan of
action for the government of this national
organization is about completed. The
funds now IN the treasury are large, and
sufficient to enable the members to hold
out on strike for at least six months.
The association is more ANXIOUS to secure
the eight-hour system than an increase of
wages, but if strike is caused by nom
compliance of employers to recognize the
eight-heur plan, then an increase of pay
will be demanded. 1t Is stated that in
Boston and the neighboring cities the order
has large and influential membership.
The fraternity in all sections, when every
thing is ready, will rise simultaneously.

urRl Homes.

The working mems union of New York
city have determined to petition the state
legislature for the erection of rural homes
for its working men and women. A dele.
gate has left for Albany, taking with him a
nine section bill. 1t provides that the city
through three commissioners selected by the
mayor, shall purchase suitable tract of
land in the state and within radius of
twenty miles from the city hall, and erect
thereon number of buildings each suita-
BILE for occupancy by one OF two families,
but not more /; each building to be sold to
one or two workingmen OF women
at the actual cost of the land and
building, and payable in quarterly pay
ments extending over periods of twenty
years, or one-eightieth of the purchase
money every three months the mayor,
comptroller and common council of the
city to issue interest bearing bonds
redeemable within twenty years,
wherewith to raise the funds necessary
for the purchase of the required tract
of land and the erection of the build
ing. The union believes that through
this scheme good rural homes Can be fur
nished at $4,000 each, which will place
them, under the terms of sale indicated,
within the purchasing capacities of all in
dustrious workingmen and women.
Should the legislature refuse the sought-for
legislation the union proposes to then turn
to wealthy capitalists.

Trouble in Grant Parish--Assocfated
Press Account.
NEW ORLEANS, April l5.-The steam
er southwestern brings the following from
Grant Parish in regard to disturbances
there: The negroes had barricaded them
selves in Colfax courthouse to the number
of 400, thoroughly armed. One hundred
and fifty white men gathered from the sur
rounding parishes and made an attack SUM-
day noon. The courthouse was stormed
at O'Clock, and the negroes took refuge in
the courthouse. After further fighting the
negroes displayed flag of truce.
Several detachments moved on the court-
house, when the negroes commenced firing.
Captain Hardnot was shot through the
bowels, it is feared, fatally. AS the only
means of dislodgng the negroes, the court
house was fired and the negroes shot as
they came from the burning building. It
is reported that between eighty and one
hundred negroes were killed.
The captain of the Southwestern con-
inns the above. He saw eighteen or
twenty dead negroes, and brought two
wounded whites to Alexandra. All was
quiet when the Southwestern left Colfax

NEW INVENTION IN IELEGRAPHY.--
When Sir William Thompson invented his

usefulness for Geographic purposes, he in
sured the success of under-Sea cables. what

the movements of the little reflector enable
the clerk to read of the messages by care.
full watching. But recently, Sir William
Thomson has invented an instrument-the
patent siphon recorder-which, as its name
indicates, writes or records the message,
as received, on strip of paper. 1t is an
essential condition of such an instrument
that it shall be very light and the siphon,
in this case, made of capillary tubing, is
not thicker than horse-har. Indeed, so
small is the bore, that the ink will not flow
therein Of itself, but squirts out when
electrified. The siphon is connected with
a coil of copper wire, an electromagnetic
and an ebonile disk, armed with pieces of
soft iron, which, being attracted by the
magnet, is kept rotating, and regulates the
current flowing from the battery and the
cable. Acted on by this current, the ink,
as already stated, squirts from the
siphon, and writes a succession of
dots and dashes, which represent the let
tiers of the alphabet. TO an unaccustom-
ed eye, the writing is a confused, unmean-
ing scribble; but good telegraph-clerk
will read it off as if it were ordinary writ
ing. Thus message will now, so to
speak, deliver itself from the other side of
the ocean, thousands of miles distant !;
and telegraphy has achieved another tri-
