Stone Cutters Strike.
For some time the boss brown stone cutters
have been dissatisfied with paying their men
S. per day, feeling that it was too much, espe-
cially in the case of poor workmen, and have
signed an agreement that on April Goth they
would pay 81. so per day to men whom they
considered worth that amount, and less sum
to poorer workmen, thus graduating the pay to
the capacity of the workmen This decision
was communicated to the workmen and on
Saturday they notified their bosses that they
should strike to-day unless the decision was re-
considered. Accordingly they did so this morn
ing and a large number of men are loafing to-
day, and work is quite generally suspended in
the yards and upon buildings in process of erec-
ton.

it were entirely new. Should Mr.. Cough lee

liver the same lecture night after night, he
would continue to draw big houses. 1t doesn't

manner of saying it. We can never tire of the

the rich fund of anecdote, the wonderful min.

if parties named Frank Parker and Mary E.
johnson had recorded intentions of marriage.
The Clerk looked at his records aud found the
desired names. published in October last
Thereupon the man on seeing the lady's name,
remarked, CHATS my wife, he married her
away from me last Thanksgiving" A man in
company with him vouched for the truth of the
statement The parties are from Yarmouth.
After inquiring the cost of prosecuting the
man, he left the office, swearing vengeance
against the wretch that married his wife
away from him." The queer part of the story
is that considering the fact that the people all
lived in the same town, the man has not made
complaint against the offending parties before

Co-KDUcATIoN OF THE SExEs AGAIN-In

could Lot study side by side without detrIment

One CT the beauties OF lynch law is shown by
an incident which recently happened in Kan
sas. A mob went TO the house OF a man who
they supposed had stolen a horse, and, dragging
him from his bed, hung him to a tree, and then
shot twenty-five bullets into him. The next
morning they found they had got the wrong
man, (this one being a Woodworking Iaborer,
with three ehildren,) and that the right man

As to Renaissance.

The papers published in those cities where
government buildings are being or are to be
erected come 10 us with periodical accounts of
the progress or prospects of these structures,
each generally accompanied by glowing de-
scriptiOn of its particular pet The details OF
these descriptions vary somewhat at times; but
we observe that 1t generally crops out somewhere
that " the style OF the building is to be rendis-
SdHee, "-either renaissance straight, or with
some eli ght modification or Improvement, which
will greatly add to it's beauty. Exactly what
this sounding term may mean in all cases, IL is
pretty hard TO define; but there are grounds for
a suspicion that whenever an architect con-
ceives fsnciful tumble for which he knows no
other title, be gives it the convenient name
renaissance. Now renaissance lie a taking word
on paper, and from the lips of a fellow who
has taken a few French lessons or spent
couple ct weeks in Paris there is something
very impressive about IL; but we beg to ask If
there isn't danger that We are going to have

One OF the pleasant features OF the granz gers
organization Is the "harvest h0me," or picnic
in celebration Of the gathering Of the harvests.
In the west these picnics, judgng from the pub
lished reports, are very enjoyable affairs, call
ing out as they do hundreds of friends and
neighbors for the interchange OF social courte-
sies. Being conducted under the auspices Of
the grsngers, both male and female, disorders
on such occasions are very rarely heard of.
These reunions, besides being pleasant affairs,
are of practical benefit to the grangers, who
have an opportunity Of exchanging views
relative to agricultural matters.
Speaking Of the grangers, il is rumorsd that
they are taking preliminary steps to con-
stTuct another railroad across the continent

grangers or not. According to that paper it is
proposed TO make through double track line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 1t is not pro-
posed, however, TO construct il all the way, but
by connections that the projectors know they

Into formidable proportions 1t has been credit

with taking prominent part in various poIit-
