UNEMPLOYED LABOR 1t i. feared that the
approaching winter will be bad one for null
ttudes in the large northern cities, who. pre-
vlous 10 last year, were strangers to extreme
want. lt is said that there are tens of thou
sands OF iaborers and mechanics already mem
ployed and thousands will be added TO this vast
army when the sea on for outdoor work shall
end. Bot the number should be kept down As
low as 1t is possible 10 keep It, and no better
way can be found TO accomplish this ian one
suggested by writer in the New York Tribu ne
who says" There is a class OF rational and
cultured men and women whom il may be worth
while to remind just now that the saving of
money Is not sometimes the best humanity or
economy. We fail to see the wisdom of dis
Charging workmen or servants whose wages
would amount to hundreds during the winter
months, and before the winter Is over sub-
scrihiDg thousands to beneficial societies or souu
houses. Nor Is it better policy 10 deny our
selves suddenly the comforts and luxnries upon
the manufacture of which the majority of city
operatives depend for their daily bread. These
remai Ks, OF course, only apply IN the wealthy
class, but there are none Of us no should not
carefully consider how our Sun al surplus funds
could be expended in wages rather than ia

KIDNAPPING OF AN ALLEGED MURpg.ER-
Some weeks since one George ". Smith vas
kidnapped from Messac county, IL, ana taken
to Tennessee, where, it is alleged, he is upteT
Indictment Tor murder. The attention OF Gov
erDor Beveridge, OF Illinois, was called to the
matter, and he demanded from Governor
Brown, of Tennessee, the return Of Smith and
the delivery to the Illinois state authorities of
the kidnappers, b. X. Ward and al. L. Williams
Governor Brown has at last replied to the de-
mano. lie reviews the facts in the case admits
that the acts of the Tennessee officials yysre
without warrant of law, but hopes that inqs-
much as Smith is VIGOROUSLY guilty of murder
and as there was no Intentional disrespect sho y1
10 the authorities of this state, Governor Bever.
ldge may find il compatible with his sense of
duty 10 let the matter rest as IL now stands This
Governor Beverage is not willing TO do buf on
ire contrary, renews his demand for the rat.rn
OF Smith and for the arrest and delivery 70 the
state authorities of the kidDappers. He saws
that the guilt or innocence of the accused is not
In question. The laws of Illinois proyide for the
detention for reasonable time of any person
against whom there Is evidence OF liability for
crime in another state, and that the abductors
had no authority or legal pretence for their act
1t Is said that the murder with which the pris-
oner, Smith, is charged is the killing of a man
who attempted to prevent his dessrtion from tue
confederate army.

1t is fact not generally known that the
value of the leather product of the United
States is greater than the value OF the IRON

interest: During the year 1870 there were

3s2 currency establishments. employing

German newspapers often publish notices
of births and deaths in manner which
seems strange to American readers. En-
gagements are also published. In the second
sheet, tor instance, of every issue OF the
Cologne Gazette, these announcements OF en-
gagements NAV be found throughout the
whole year. When the engagements are
broken off this is also at times published by
one or both ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. but IL ~
very seldom that an announcement such as
the following is found, which is quoted in
the Cologne Gazette of the 18th OF June from
the Dresdener Journal: with respect to the
announcement by which /, at the end of last
