4 Letter Of Cnriyie's On Capital and
Labor.

The following unpublished letter from
Sir. Carlyle to SirJ. Whitworth, regard.
ing the announcement made some
months ago of the lstter's intention to
supplement the savings of his wOrkpeO-
pie by bonus upon them, was read on
Jan. 90. by the Hon. aud Rev. w. Ii.
Lyttleton, at meeting OF the StOur-
bridge School of Art:
81 have heard of your offer on behalf
of the thrifty work people of barley, and
of the thankful acceptance OF it by the
district authorities of the place. cam
not resist the highly unwOnted desire
that has risen in me to say that highly
approve and applaud the ideas you have
on the subject, and 10 declare in words
that in my opinion nothing wiser, more
bepeficent, or worthy of your distinguish
ed place as a master of workers has
come before me for many years. Would
to Heaven that all or many of the cap
;ains OF industry in England had a soul
in them such as yours, and could do as
you have done, or could still further
cooperate with you in works and plans
to the like effect. The look OF England
is TO me st this moment abundantly
ominOIs. The question of capital and
labor, growing ever more anarchic, in
soluble altogether by the nations hither-
10 applied 10 il, is pretty certain to issue
in petroleum one day, unless some other
gospel than that of the Dismal Science
come TO illuminate il. Two things are
pretty sure 10 me. The first is, that cap
iial and labor never can or will agree to-
gether, till they both first of all decide
on doing their work faithfully throug-
out, and like men of conscience and
honor, whose highest aim is to behave
like faithful citizens Of this universe,
and obey the eternal commandment OF
the almighty God, who made them.
The second thing is, that q sadder OBJ
ject than either that of the coal strike,
or any conceivable strike, is the fact
that, loosely speaking, all England has
decided that the profitablest way is to
do It's work i'll, slimly, swiftly, and men,
daciously. What q contrast between
now and, say, ouly hundred years ago
At that latter date, or still more conspi-
cuously for ages before that, all England
swoke 10 its work with an invocation to
the Eternal Maker TO bless them in their
days labor, and help them to do it well.
Now, all England, shopkeepers, work
men, all manner of competing laDorers
awaken, as if with an unspoken, but
heartfelt prayer TO Beelzebub: oh,
help us, thou great lord of shoddy, ad-
and malfeasance, TO do our
work with q maximum Of slimness,
swiftness, profit, and mendacity, for the |
devils sake, Amenn'

APeCULaAx APrREIlENsION.

The leading editorial of last evenings
Call lie . very peculisr production. Ii com
mences BY inquiring "who is Mayor az
then goes in to admit that Col. d. Z. An
thony was elected Mayor two years ago, and
last fall elected to the ofioe Of Representa-
tive in the State Legislature. Proceeding
still further it says:
No two Offices are more clearly incompati
bic than mayor and legislator As legislator n
may govern and control the office OF mayor
may enlarge its power, may increase emoiu
ment, make il in fact, Just what the people
would never have tru ted him with a.
mayor.
This assertion of our contemporary IL re-
markable. 1t assumes that the mayor Ii the
au,ocrat of the Legislature, thst by reason oil
his holding at once the two offices named he
possesses influence sufficient TO repeal and
make laws at his will, without regard to the
views of his Colleagues or
paDions in the assembly. The
assumption is absurd. Tie mayor in mea-
sures of local legislation considered by the
Lesvenworth delegation casts one vote ont
of ten. The editor OF the Gail does not
think our present mayor would do aught
contrary to the will Of the people, but he is
afraid We are establishing a precedent for
some future mayor, who, after elected to
the position of chief municipal officer, would
take advantage of The precedent,
aud 20 to the legislature for the
sole purpose Of doing just what the people
would not want him to DO. II dangers OF
this nature threaten the city, the people
should resolutely resolve to exercise the
greatest vigilance in the selection of future
mayors. Always elect good men, for how
ever dangerous bad precedsDts may be when
presented to bad men. they never swerve
good and true men from the path Of duty.
The singular article Of orr evening Co
temporary closes in this style:
"However high our citizens may esteem
our present Mayor, We believe it would be
right and proper for the Council TO take some
action upon this subjsct, to save the city a
trouble in the future she may not dream Of
now"
If the Council can do anything TO stop an
avalanche OF future trouble TO the city, il
ought to do il at once. Ii the members
should desire the Mayor to resign either, or
both, of the Offices he now holds, We hope
trey will not be too modest to express their
desires in language. The present mayors
term Of Office as representative, in effect, e1
pires early next month; while his tenure Of
Office as mayor ceases during the month fol-
lowing. If the councilmen refuse to take
some action, let them take something else.
We have reason TO believe that the mayor
cells like obIising the Council in most things
and should the members of that body re-
quest him to resign, and put the request in
writing, he would doubtless consider it.

Three C0ars Beausfes Of the Last Gen.

| s0ry.
AS the reissued portraits of tie
three beautiful Miss Cummings, seen
amidst the gay throng in the gallery
of the Irish House of Parliament as it ap-
peared in 1890, are attracting so much
attention in Liverpool, it may interest
many to know somewhat about those
celebrated Irish beauties. They were
born in Roscommon County, Ireland,
and we're the daughters of Gen. Gun
ming. Their parents were respectable,
but by no means rich. Thomas Sheri-
dsn, at the time Lessee of the principal
theatres In Dublin, was accustomed flo
let them have access to the theatrical
wardrobe to dress themselves when they
went to thee astle or any o. the balls in
the then gay city of Dublin. They re
solved to go upon the stage; indeed, it
is said the eldest did appear for two
nights on the boards for Mr.. Sheridan.
However, he prevailed upon them, before
they finally committed themselves, TO
take their pretty faces to London for one
season. The fascinating beauties sooE
threw London into an amazing excite-
ment. On their appearing in Rotten
row and Vauxhall they were mobbe6,
the crowd forming an avenue through
which they had to WALL. 1t may be re-
marked that, though poor, they deter
mined to have ''lOrds" for their hus-
bands, and they were not long in secure
ing them, to the rage Of all the fine
ladies in London. The eldest one met
the Duke of Hamilton al an evening
party, and his grace fell SO desperately
in love with the Irish beauty that he
