The H.Ong Shoreman Restivc. 81
NEW YORK, November 14th.-The
strike of ten thousand long shoreman,
against u reduction of wages, seems
inevitable. Steamship owners de-
clare that dull business makes re-
duction of expenses, indispensable to
the maintenance of the lines. Both
sides appear resolved. It is known

Eouse Committee Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, November 13th.-
The House Committee on Appropria-
tions met this morning, all the mem
bers being in attendance except
Parker of Missouri, Marshall of Illi-
nois and Wheeler of New York. The
Committee are at present engaged in
comparing the appropriations of last
year with the estimate for the coming
year. 1t is ascertained that the esti-
mates nearly tally with the legisla-
tive appropriations. There is a con-
siderable increase. in the estimates of
the Director of the Mint. It is ex-
pected that within ten days, the legis-
lative bill having been disposed of,
the committee will consider the In
dian Appropriation bill. They intend
to perfect both bills before Congress

An Ohio Giant

A Cleveland paper relates number OF
anecdotes Illustrative of the strength and
size of Abner McIlrath, whom it dubs
giant. 1t appears that Mcllrath Is sixty
one years of age, and is six feet seven and
a half inches. standing in his boots, fairly
proportiOned i'm form, without an ounce OF
waste flesh. He was and is giant in mus
cular strength as well as physically. lie
has lifted 200 pounds of iron, and blow
with his massive fist and long arm was so
powerful that on one occasion, when some
twelve or fifteen sailors went out TO his
place to ''raise muss," he thrashed the
whole lot and threw them one by one out
of the door, just as one could throw so
many babies. and during that operation
he dared not double his fist for fear his
blows might prove fatal to some OF the
rowdies. ABE" formerly carried on the
business of a cooper, and used TO come TO
town with his load of barrels. On one oc-
casion, while stopping at the " Red
Tavern lately known as the 4" Jackson
House." and which is now torn down, a
snOb from town who was out there with
his turnout, in the shape of livery horse
and buggy, got into a difficulty with Abe,
and having insulted him in some way or
another, Abe resented it by lifting the
buggy right up and straddling it across
the fence, and then got on his wagon and
drove off to town, whistling as though
nothing was the matter and leaving the
luckless dandy to get his buggy off the
fence as best he was able.

Fowl Sympathy.

There is an authentic story of large
flock of swallows that revenged a wrong
committed on two of their number. n
pair of wrens had driven out these two
swallows from a nest, and had usurpej
possession. The injured ones twlttered
their complaints to associates, and after a
short conference the whole company be-
can to take up mud in their bills from the
street and continued to work until they
had plastered up the entrance to the nest,
and buried the guilty wrens In lvlng
tomb. This curious incident showed a
power of talking-in swallow language
and a power of sympathy and OF planning
to work together.
A case of sympathy without the talking
and planning happened recently in New
ton. Mass. Some pet hens and pigeons are
fed together daily, and have become good
friends and well acquainted. One day a
cat sprang from place of ambush on the
pigeons, and seized one in its claws. The
pigeon struggled hard to escape, and
tIapped its wings in terror, but in vain.
Its doom was sure, if unhelped, Help
came from an uneXpected source. ne
hens looked on in surprise at the SUDDEN
ness of the attack, but at length, as II
coplprehending the situation, two roosters
and three or four hens rushed at the cat,
and by vigorous pecking compelled IL 10
give up the prey and take to its heels in
| self-defense. Before a spectator, who saw
the y hole scene, could reach the spot, the
pigeon was free and had flown to his
house.

The AmuSements of London Thieves.

Boyle says these fellows steal whole
train-lOads and bOat-loads of coal, and the
detectives can't get clue TO them. The
statement appeared to me so ridiculous
that supposed my companion was jok-
ing. He was, however, in earnest, and he
told me the way they did it: "In
the first place." said he, ''yOu
must know that these chaps have a
regular organized society for purposes
of mutual assistance in carrying out
their plans of robbery, or assisting each
other when they fall into the hands of
justice. Each man is assigned his district,
and when he has made haul there, he is
transferred to another. They are all rich,
and whenever large sum is needed for
carrying out their knavish plans, the
money is not wanting. For instance, Q
train load of coal comes into the city for
sale. One of the gang, disguised as a
espectable-loOlling old coal dealer, ap-
proaches the man who has the coal in
charge, and after some talk bargains for it.
The same afternoon he comes with per-
haps a hundred coal carts, unloads the
whole train, whisks off the entire cargo in
two or three hours, and the purchaser,
taking the precaution to be little late for
banking hours, gives his check in pay
ment, which, of course, upon presenting
the next morning, is found to be worth
less. The coal and the purchaser are gone.
and it is as difficult to trace the one as the
other. The same thing is done with boat
loads of coal, for the thieves have their
own barges and employees on the river as
on the land. We have not yet been able
to break up this swindle, though the whole
department has been at work on it,
The story seemed so incredible to me
that took the next opportunity of asking
another detective about it. "Yes," said
he, ''that coal swindle is one of the
biggest things IN London. We can't get
at the ring-leaders yet, but we're laying
our plans for grand haul. 1t may take
two or three years TO mature them, for
it's an exceedingly big thing; but we
must thoroughly mature our plans"
"Good heavens ~ | exclaimed. lis ii
possible you allow people in London to
be robbed like this for two years before
you break up the gang of swindlers."
YES" said he, ''LOndon's big town,
and such things 60 slow, but. l think. in
about two years we shall mature our
plans and make a grand haul. ."-London

A Suggestion for the Centennial.

In the Centennial show of the products
of her varied industry-and it is very large
and every way honorable to her-we pray
Philadelphia to hoist to conspicuous eX-
hibition the army-wagOn that seems to en-
chain our artermaster-General.l 1t must
have unapproachable merits. In building
wagons Chicago has reputation that runs
TO the Pacific sea. Milwaukee likewise
turns out a wagon on which saw millers,
teamsters, and farmers repose faith and
heavy loads, All up and down the upper
Mississippi and the Red River the wagons
of st. Paul and Minneapolis stand the test
of severe and protracted use. In what the
wagon of Philadelphia is better than these
Western wagons we know not. And we
are very curious to find out. Fer the
uartermaster-Generalb buys them greedi-
ly. The saving of freight to be effected BY
buying in Minneapolis wagons for use IN
Dakota is so immense an item when the
purchases run up toward the thousand
that the Philadelphia wagons must be
miracles of art. In the last fiscal year 21O
of these wagons were bought in open mar
ket in that city, at the price of $40 each,
and 6Sl wagons were built under contract
for Sl49. 80 each. All these wagons were
shipped by rail to Fort AbercrOmbie, Da-
kota. distance of l 400 miles. We would
like to have this transportation justified.
Therefore we beg Philadelphia to put one
of her bewitching army wagons on hSh
exhibition in the Centennial show. Ii
Minneapolis would consent tOplace along
side of it one of her own wagons, the con-
trast would serve to bring out the excel
lencies of the four-wheeled machines, and
undoubtedly win the approval of our
robbed and skinned payers of taxes to the
seemingly reckless waste of l, 400 miles OF
transportation of property that should
have been bought in the West and not in
the East.
If the army is reduced, the purchase
and transportation of Philadelphia wagons
will be reduced.-N 7. Sun.

TennysOn'S In MemOriam.

At the age of forty, man. blessed with
a sound mind in a sound body, should
reach the maturity of his intellectual pow
er. At such a period, in the year lS50,
TennysOn produced "ln MemOriam," ms
most Characteristic and significant work !;
not so ambitious as his epic of King Ar
thur, but more distinctively pom OF this
century, and displaying the aucnOr's ge-
MUS in a subjective form. In it are con-
centrated his wiseSt reflections upon life,
death and immortality, the worlds within
and without, while the whole song is so
largely uttered, and so pervaded with the
singers manner, that any Isolated line Is
recognized at once. This work stands by
itself: none can essay another upon its
model, without yielding every claim to
personality and at the risk of an interlorlty
that would be appalling. he strength OF
TennysOn's intellect has full sweep in this
elegiac pOem-the great threnOdy OF our
language, by virtue of unique conception
and power. For the rest, In Memo
riam - is a serene and truthful panorama
of refined experiences; filled with pictures
of gentle, scholastic life, and of English
scenery through all the changes of a roll
inc year: expressing, moreover, the
thoughts engendered by these changes.
"reminiscences when too light, recalled TO

nifty of passing bell. Among its author 5
productions it is the one most valued by
educated and professional readers. Re
Gently number of authors having been
asked to name three leading poems of this
century, which they would most prefer tC
have written, each gave In MemOriam
either the first or second place upon his
list. Obviously it is not a work to read al
Il sitting, nor to take up at every mood
| but one in which we are sure to find some
thing of worth in every stanZa. 1t con-
tains more notable sayings than any othel
of Tennyson's poems. The wisdom

out of place; the poets imagination, shut

About IndOrsing the administration.

The usually easy job of endorsing the
Administration of President Grant in the
Republican State Conventions will be at
tended with difficulties this year in some
of the Western States. A large body OF
Western Republicans do not indOrse the
veto of the Currency bill, and will not be
forced to. Imagine the st. Louis Demo
crGt and other initiation organs OF TINS
State indorsing the Administration, with
that veto staring them in the face. Or
imagine Senator MortOn's State Conven--
ton in Indiana, or Senators Logan and
Oglesbys Convention in Illinois doing
so! The thing is impossible. A we'll
trained Republican partisan will do any
thing in the wav of indorsing Grant that
he can do; but there is an intrinsic diff
Guilty in the present task that cannot be
surmounted. To indOrse Grant IS to con-
denim Morton in Indiana, Logan and
Oglesby in Illinois. and, in short, nearly
every Western Republican Senator; and
if the Presidents partisans attempt TO eX-
tort an Endorsement there will be split.
The Springfield Qn.) Journal says, def
antly: 1.-The veto message cannot and
will not be indorsed, but our Senators and
Members will be- To this the Alton
Telegraph replies, from a Presidential
point of view:
This advice cannot be followed without
indirectly censuring President Grant,
Vice President Wilson, and, in our opin,
ion, very large majority of the members
