STRIKES.
The strikes are virtually over. The
TCng-lioremen had the best chance OF
all tie trades for success, for while a
factory may shut down and do without
operatives, a newly-arrived ship must be
unloadeI at once. and it takes skilled
labor 10 do il. bnt they. with this ad-
vantage. were forced to succumb to hard
tims-S. and they have gone to work again.
The coopers have resumed, not as a
body. but in squads. and, in short, the
strikes are at an end. The strikers dis

men out of employment here to-day,
and Tie number will be doubled in two
months And they embrace all classes
of people. There are clerks, statesmen,
book keepers, everybody. For instance,
the Grand Opera House advertised for
200 yougg ladies for the ballot in the re-
vived Black Crook. and the morning
brought 800. al eager for positions at
5000 per week. These were not bad

SCORE ANOTHER FOR BERGH.
Henry Bergh, the friend of dumb ami

THR LIQUOR DEALEIis
have taken alarm, and are getting out
their licenses as fast as possible. the
courts are determined 20 enforce tiIe law
at all hazards, and the conviction of
Sciwab, which was made test case,
has shown them the futility of opposi-
tiJu. The run-mills, the small thieves,
Boss Tweed. and all the dangerous
classes, sigh for the good old times when
Barnard was on the bench. and Fisk and
those fellows ran the city. There was
no trouble for them then. They had the
courts aud everything else. Will the
new Democratic administration restore
them any of their lost privileges: We
shall see. \ great many Republicans in
the city were willing to take the chances

November they may change their minds.
BUSINESS
Is slower than last week, which is one
OF those things that cannot be accounted
for. Certainly the purchases have not
been SO heavy as TO have supplied the
country with goods. How long tiis
stagnation is to continue no one can tell,
nor can any one give II reason for If.

THE WEATHER AND HEALTH.
It is deiiciouSly cool, but altogether too
dry. The city is not healthy Dipthe-
ria is almost an epidemic in Brooklyn,
and small pox is spreading in the city
too rapidly for the peace of mind of the
citizens. There is 10 special alarm, but
n feeling of uneasiness is developing.
An experience similar TO that of Phiis-
deIphia two years ago is dreaded. Some
calamity ought to be expected to .oliow
such an election as that OF last fall aud
the citizens may consratulate themselves
ti!at it is nothing worse than smallpox
and diptheria. PIETRO.
