paper that the bricklAyers, stone cutters, &C.,
done nothing for their sick members. Not
being able at the time to give him an author
itative answer we took the trouble to inter
view the officers OF the Unions named, and
have been informed by those gentlemen that
there is a clause in the constitution Of each Of
their Unions which gives weekly benefits to
their sick members who are in good standing
on the Secretarys books. The stone cutters
give to their sick members in good standing
Ito married men, seven dollars per week,
and To single men, five dollars per week. On
the death Of a member. the wldo~, or his
heirs, gets one hundred dollars and If a mem
ber's wife Dies the member receives fifty dol
lars. Now these benefits are what theconsti-
tuition allows, but besides these it not unfre
quently happens that brother is helped in
other ways, should it be proven that he is
really in want In the few Unions that have
not provided such benefits in their cOnstitu-
tions, when brother is sick in distress,
made, which, in the majority Of cases,
amounts to more than the regular benefit.
Those papers which state that Trades mons
do not take care Of their sick members, only
display their ignorance Of the principle upon
which Unions are governed.

The Home Sewing Machine

Next to baby the most Indispensable Arti-
Gle is a Sewing Machine In fact. when we
see what the mother Or housewife can accom-
plish through its agency, We wonder how they
ct along before it was invented. Ii Tom
Hood had lived to the middle OF the 10Th cen
fury. the Song Of the Shirt would have re-
manned AL unwritten poem, because this labor
saver is now brought within the reach Of the
humblest, and sold on terms that the poorest
seamstress can meet ithout difficulty.
Among the many sewing machines which
are presented to the public the HONE"
occupies an enviable position. obtaining al
the ddroHtages Of the most Improved, it is sold
At twenty-five per cent below their rates,

The HoUsEKEEPER' OF OUR HEALTH.
The liver is the great depurating or blood
cleansing organ Of the system Set the great
housskseper Of our health at work and the
foul corruPtions which gender in tine blood
and rot out, as it were, the machinery of life,
are gradually expelled from the system. For
this purpose Dr. Pisrces Golden Medical Dis
cOvery is pre-eminently the article needed
1t cures every kind of humor from the worst
scrofula TO the common pimple, blotch, or
eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal
under its mighty curative influence. Virulent
blood poisons that lurk in the system are by
it robbed Of their terrors, and by o persever.

most tainted system may be completely reno

tumors and swelings dwindle away and disap-
pear under the influence Of this great rssol-

PROPOSED New OPERA HoUsE-We under

lots on the corner Of Shelby and Fort streets
on which he intends to erect an Opera House
to far excel the present one. 1t has been sug

success would be better if the present Opera
House, together with the Young Mems Hail.

Some Of them have to 60 begging half the tIme

must either arrange matters so that all the

upon being asked the day before to renew

A writer IN the London Chronicle, 1872,
saws "Do not some of us strut about with
walking sticks as long as hickory poles, or
else whh a yard Of vanished canes scraped
taper, and bound at the end with wax
thread, and at the other tipped with neat
turned ivory head as big As a silver penny,
which switch we hug under our arms =
He, how er, adds g Walking sticks re
now almost reduced To useful size. "
From this time to the end Of the century
they do not appear to have differed from
those now in use.

MECHASICAL business Of sill kinds seems Ia
be tiourishing In fact there has been nc
time since the war when there was such gen
eral activity among mechanics, or so few idle
men in Detroit, receiving fair compensation
for their labor The sudden change from
winter TO summer seems to give every thing q
start. Contractors are crowding men cn then
jobs for fear the fine weather may be Of short
duration.

AoSDAH, June ID, was a great gala day for
the Germans. A Convention was assembled
composed Of representatives from the several
benevolent societies of the country They
made very creditable appearance on their
line of march, Hans Fralien were deck ed
in their holiday attire, and with their char
acteristic good humor, they seemed to enjoy
themselves. Several hands headed the differ.
snt societies cannon were fred, etc The
weather was all that could be desired Just
warm enough to increase a Teuton's appetite
for his favorite beverage. Empty beer keg,
lying around promiscuously is good evidence
that Detroit dust had feverish affect upon
our German visitors.

HALF HOLIDAYS The clerks and book
keepers have commenced to agitate the short

that 30 hours q week, confined at their desks

they may have little recreation In most

GREAT activity prevails IN the ship yards
in and around the city. Work is plenty at
good prices. Wages are generally rating at
from 80 90 to 81 90 per day, either above or
below Detroit that is rather more than is
paid IN the city, men preferring to work for
less money, and pay higher rents here than

victory for the Farmers.

The Kansas city Times, in speak
ing of the recent overwhelming de
feat of Judge Lawrence for the Su-
prone Bench in Illinois, has this 10
say upon the subject:
That cloud which has been gath
ering for sometime IN the West, and
which for sometime had looked dark
and pOrtentiOus, burst the other day
in Illinois with a result that has sur
prised the country, In a judicial
election held in a district made va
cant the candidate of the farmers i
Democrat at that, beat his Radical
opponent fifteen hundred votes in Il
district that gave Grant eight thOu-
sand majority. None expected a
change so sudden and overwhelming
none certainly the utter defeat Of
Judge Lawrence-fOr he had been
an able, efficient and conscientious
officer, and had nothing of shadow
or stain upon his public character
A candidate for reelection, a man
without enemies not bitter in his
politics, rather more given to study
than TO intercourse with the masses,
he was just what a judge should be
in most things-an honorable, ana
lytical, reflective sagsciOUs gentle
man. Aud yet he was defeated most
Overwhelmingly.
Two aspects come of this contest
and present themselves TO the cOUn-
try. One Is the unqucstiOnable or
ganizdtiou of the farmers, and the
other Is their unidentified hOmogeHe-
ity- Party lines have given away
before the onset Ofthc agricultuTists.
They have not needed the old rally
in@-crics, neither did the Old ban
ner, reminding them OF a past made
glorious with victories, range them
as OF Old beneath its folds. POliti-
claus recognize the result without
understanding the nature of he cl-
ements which produced the convul-
sion They look towards the bat
tle-teld, which but yesterday was
dense with contestants, and they see
not even = relic OF the strife. Those
who were foremost IN the fight are
turning long burrows 10 the sun, and
those who skIlllully planCd and ST.
lently executed are whetting the
sCythes for the wheat harvest and
counting their cattle III the shade of
the trees.

Cholera at Nashville.

there were 10; on Tuesday there
were only deaths from cholera;
and we confidently predict its

AT GREENvILLE-
The cholera has been and IS very
bad. Ex-President johnson, had a
slight attack, but did not take his
bed, and is better. Quite snumber
of deaths had occurred, and a goodly
number were sick at last accounts.
The town was deserted, about sew
enty families having left, and those
remaining were mostly poor people
and negroes, who neither had the
means to 90 or the place TO go to.
There was great restitution Of even
the necessities of life, aud meat and
bread were as essential rs medicine

cholera at or near Clarksvillc but {

of which resulted fatally.

The Ripley News learns that in
Weakly, Benton aud Henry coun-
ties there will be little or no cotton
made. Some of the farmers think
1t will be impossible to make bread,
as very much of the corn crop has
not yet been planted. That looks
gloomy.
Walker Wood, editor of the Tip
ton Record, who had been for some
months In bad health, started North
lastIweek in hop 8 of Improvement,
but died at st. Louis, Monday morn
ing. His disease was of bronchial
nature. His remains were taken to
Memphis for interment.
1t is now believed that the U. S.
Attorneyship for West Tennessee,
made vacant by the death of Judge
Hudson, of Memphis, lies between
w. w. Maury, Esq, of Huntingdon
and Mr.. Boyd, of Brownsville.
Maury is recommended by all the
republican members of Congress,
except Butler and Num-.
We learn from the Ripley News
that a little son of Andrew Knave,
decd, residing in Lauderdale coun-
ty, was riding on an OK wagon,
driven by his step-father, Mr.. Nor
veil, when the oxen took sudden
turn, ran the fore wheels over a
large log, threw the boy off the
wagon and the log rolled over him
