The strike among the ice men at
Coxackie, on the Hudson river, last
week, was unlike most other labor
strikes, a success. The ice companies
were gathering the crop, and, as thaw
threatened, they were huIryiug the work
as much as possible. Three hundred
of their workmen struck for an advance
of wages from 81 so to So day, and
the strikers afterwards attacked force
of one hundred and fifty men who con-
tinued at work and drove them away by
a -iusillade of snowbails. The strikers
calculated on the thermometer rising,
which was predicted by 81 robabitties,"
and that the exigercies of the case
would compel their employers to come
to terms, a result which speedily follow
ed, for the despairing ice companies had
their hearts thawed by the same pro-
cess that was thawing the ice, and the
advance to 50 was conceded.

FRosr BrTEs.--A correspondent Of
an agricultural paper furnishes the fol.
lowing: I have treated this troublesome
complaint very successfully for thirty
years in the following manner: Wash the
hands and feet, if both are affected, in
water as hot as it can be borne for a
short time, then dry off aud paint the
parts with tincture of iodine. 1t can be
applied with a camel's Eair brush. or
with rag tied on small stick. A few
applications will give relief in the worst
cases, and cure recent ones. After a
few wasbings they may be omitted and
the remaining spots painted until
they make perfect cure.

one buudred men are still afioat on the
ice. Two hundred escaped when the
wind took the ice field near enough to
shore. AT ten p. m. the ice had drifted
out five miles, and showed signs OF
breaking up. The men on it had been
seen tearing down shanties to make
RATS. The few boats on shore are
leaky. A party started in one for the
rescue, but were obliged to pull back on
account of the boat leaking and the
waves being high. Two men were seen
to drown in trying to leap from the ice
to the shore.

The tongue OF SANDER is never tired.
In one way or other it IN manages to keep
itself i'll constant employment. Some
times it drips honey and sometimes gall.
1t is bitter now, an then sweet. 1t in
sinuates or assails directly, according
to the circumstances. 1t will hide IL
curse under a smooth word, and admin
lister poison in the phrase of love. Like
death, it loves shining mark" And
it is never so available and eloquent as
when it can blight the hopes of the no.
ble-minded, soil the reputation of the
pure, and break down or destroy the
character of the brave and strong.
What pleasure man or woman can find
in such work we have never been able
to see. And yet there is pleasure of
some kind in it to the multitudes, or
they would not betakc themselves to it.
Some soul or body must be gratitied by
it. But no soul in high estate can take
delight in it. 1t indicates lapse, ten
dency toward chaos, utter depravity. 1t
proves that somewhere in the soul there
is weakness, waste, evil nature. Eiu-
cation and refinement are no proof
against it. They often serve only to
polish the slanderous tougne, increase
its tact, and give it suppleness and
strategy.

Chang and Eng Singular but Solemn
Compact.

Up to the year 1857, the twins lived
together quite tremendously, it is said,
when, owing to domestic quarrels, the
true cause of which never has trans
PRED, dissolution of the firm of f.. &
G. Bunker was agreed upon. Some
say it was fighting among the children,
others that it was jealousy of the wives
about the number of children they had
that caused the separation but be that
as it may, Eng purchased an adjoining
plantation, upon which he built a
house, Just one mile distant from the
old home, which now became the ex
elusive property of Chang. In the di-
vision of the property the whole of the
original plantation fell to Chang, while
large majority of the slaves, being
movable property, became Eng's.
Hence it was that, when the result of
the war brought about the emancipa-
ton of the slaves, Eng found himself
much poorer man than his brother,
though both of them were then very
well off
Immediately upon the separation the
brothers made an agreement, which,
like the laws of the Modes and Persians,
was unalterable, and which to their
very deaths was rigidly observed. This
was that every alternate three days were
reserved exclusively to each of the
brothers to do as he pleased. For in
stance, the three days that belonged to
Eng were spent at his house or any
where else that Eng might choose to
go. During that time CT ang was
merely an appendage of Eng, having
neither the right to go anywhere that
Eng did not choose to go, nor the power
to attend to any business whatever of Il
private nature of his own. In the same
way, when Changes three days came,
and they were punctual to moment,
they departed at once for his home,
where he assumed supreme control Of
the actions and movements of both, and
Eng became the .nonenity. So exact
were they with this rule that no event,
however greatin importance, andno stress
of weather, no matter how severe, could
prevent them starting from the house
OF one to the house of the other, when the
three days of either had expired. 1t is
related of them that this rule caused
one to leave his home just as the mar
riage of his daughter was about to take
attending the funeral of son by the
stringcncy of this singular compact.
They carried it out to the last for
Changes final three days had expired on
the Thursday evening prior to their
deaths, and though it was very cold,
misty and severe weather, to Eng's
house he would go, in accordance with
the irrepealable law

Paddle yOur Own Canoe.

Judge S. gave his own son thou
sand dollars, and told him to go to col
lcge and graduate. The son returned
at the end of the Freshman year, with
ont dollar, and with several ugly hab-
its. About the close of vacation the
Judge said to his son:
"Well, William, are you going to
college this year ?"
Have no money, father.
"But gave you a thousand dollars to
graduate on"
"That's all gone father"
Very well, my son, gave you all I
could afford to give you; you can't stay
here you must now pay your way i'll
the world"
A new light broke in upon the vision
of the young man. He accommodated
himself to the situation. he left home,
made his way through the college, and
graduated at the head of his class
studied law, became Governor of the
State of New York, entered the Cabinet
of the President of the United States,
and made record for himself that will
not soon die, being none other than
William Fl, Seward.

PATENT MEDICINES. That there are
some good patent medicines no intelli-
gent man dare for a moment deny and
pre-em'nent is the great California hero
medicine, VINEGAR BIrrERs, discovered
by DIR. j. WALKER, n prominent physi-
clan of San Francisco. This medicine,
although called Bitters, is not to he
classed among the vile fancy drinks
recommended and sold over the bar by
rum vendors, but is q combination of
pure herballstic extracts, known to pos
sess sterling medicinal qualities, and is
compounded without the use i'll any
shape of spirits. It's action upon the
internal system Is not stimulating to the
extent that alcoholic poison is, but it at
once attacks blood-impurities, and by
removing the original cause destroys
the germs of disease and invites return
ing health. Its action upon the stop
ach and liver render it an almost GER
tain specific in the most stubborn cases
of dyspepsia, and in truth imparts new
life and vigor to the whole system. 1t
is one of the best medicines ever in.
