The Pittsburgh Lnbor Tribune says:
An itemis going the rounds of the press
Of the country to the effect that the blow
ers at the window house of Mckee, this
city, had "thrown up the contract be-
cause they could make no money. Such
is not the case. The men were thor
ouphly satisfied with their venture, and
only gave up the work when the contract
expired. Such are the facts, which we
cheerfully commend to the consideration
of working men everywhere.

CAR BRAKEs.-A series of very inter-
esting experiments in car brakes were
made on Saturday by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, to test an improvement
recently made by Mr.. Loughridge in Gu
brakes. The object was to determine in
what time and distance single car could
be stopped at high speed, in comparison
with the old system when the hand
brakes are used, which WAS determined
bv drawing the coupling pin and sep
aratins two cars from the train. The
results were that when the pin was
pulled and the brakeman signallcd
to apply the brakes, the car with
the new system was stopped
when running mt speed of forty
eirht miles an hour within q distance of
$50 feet, and within 49, seconds time,
whilst with the other car it required l.
255 feet distance. Several stops were
made which showed great power and IL
remarkable uniformity of action in the
new brake. Mr.. Loughridgc claims this
Is the shortest distance in which car
has ever been stopped with hand power,
us some two hundred feet were required
to fully apply the power with a brake
man, and that with this improvement
the effectiveness of the air brake will be
proportionatcly increased.

foreman of the place, and worked hard to
attain a good position. BY his fellow
employees he was generally liked.
All knew him to be quiet,
industrious young man. After fin
ishing his trade in 1868, he entered the navy
as third assistant engineer. He went TO
South America and Europe, and has since
visited most of the seaports OF the world,
excepting those of China. He first saw
Miss Marie Ewing Sherman in London, on
the 18th of last October. In the navy
young Fitch was promoted to be an engi-
neer. When it became known in the
Seventeenth Ward that he was to be mar
ried to Miss Sherman, the joy OF his old
companions was unbounded. His
old instructor, Father Mooney,
who had predicted bright fu-
ture for his pupil, was indeed proud.
Lieut. Fitch's parents and his three sisters
live in pretty frame building at 147 Newell
street, Greenpoint, whittier they moved
about four months ago. On Saturday the
engineer and his bride visited them and
were joyfully received. The bride was de-
scribed by Lieut.. Fitch's sister as 'sweet,
quiet little body, who was not bit proud"
0n,,Monday the bride and bridegroom started
for st. Lous. The engineer has leave of abb
sence for one year, and at the end of that
time he will retire from the navy and en-
gage in the wire business in St. Louis.

FILTRATION,

We fingered out the season,
Far into The cooler days,
And the votaries of fashion
All had flown their different ways.
We had wandered down the sea beach
With the moonlight DER us straying;
Listened to the night winds whisper,
Wondered what the waves were saying
And again we stood together
Near the ocean s ebb and flowing,
While the bushes OF the sunset
On the waves were redly glowing.
Dearest said she, hesitating
"Ahi too long we both have tarried,
Tomorrow, we must part forever:
For, my darling, am-marriedw
married." exclaimed, upstarting;
"Married~ murmured with a sigh;
"Then indeed is this parting,
For-my darling-so am i"

Ex-President Theirs recently received a
deputation from the Department of Gironde,
and, in reply to their address, said the mon
archy for which he was overthrown for not
establishing, was impossible. A conservative
republic alone could reorganize aud pacify
France. He hoped that AFTER its recent ex-
perience the Assembly would admit the ne
cessity Of making the country sovereign ar
bitter. If il persisted in sitting while powerless
to attain any resut,it would exceed the bounds
of reason. Unable TO form a government,
the majority had lost the means and right 10
govern. lie therefore expected dissolution
whicn would rehabilitate the Assembly IN
the eyes of the nation. Electors would be
less wise and moderate the longer dissolution
was delayed.
Adyces from Port au Prince state that the
President of Hayti has resigned, handing
over the Government TO Dominique, Vice
President, who is supported by the army.
He demands that the Assembly shall declare
him Pres dent
