JESUS AND SoCRATEs.-I think one
reason why Jesus as a teacher stands
infinitely above Socrates, is that the
light of Socrates was in what he said,
while the light which Jesus left to the
world was in what he did. "His life
was the light of men, One taught the
truth, the other lived it. One discussed
philosophy on the corners OF the streets
in Athens and went home to bed, and
the other, after preaching on the noun
tain and by the seash0re the gospel of
peace and good will among men, went
about all over Galilee, comforting the
afflicted, mingling with the poor, and
~befriending them, feeding the hungry,
healing the sick, and preaching to his
fellow-men by his good deeds, Socrates
was a lover OF truth, but. not SO much a
lover OF men. / know Df no loaf of
bread which he ever gave, nc sick one
healed. Look through the gospel of
Socrates according to Plato Or Xeno-
phon, and you will look i'm vain for the
story of the good Samaritan, the wild
0w's mite, tho prodigal son, the bless
ing Of little children, the feeding the
hungry, the healing the sick, the weep
ing with those who wcpt, nothing OF
the tender love and Worldwide sym
pathy for man-man just as he is-sin-
ful, sorrowful, suffering. 1t was this
gospel in deeds that has converted the
world.|GW. HI. Spencer.

PAIN IN THE EAR.-As o as any
soreness is felG in the ear, let three or
four dropsfof the tincture of arnica be
poured in, and the oriice be filled with
q little cotton TO exclude the air, and in
a short time the uneasiness is forgotten.
If the arnica isnot resortedt to until there
is actual pain, then the cure may not be
as speedy but just as certaimy although
it may be necessary to repeat the oper-
alton. 1t is Q sure preventive against
gathering in the ear, which is the usual
cause of ear-ache.

NO OPPORTUNITY FOR BOYs.-A verv
large proportion of the mechanics in the
labor societies are of foreign birth. and
these are chiefly instrumental in fhe
adoption of rules which exclude appren-
tees, or limit their number. They are
more ready to provide for adult immi~
grants than for the children who are
growing up. Our country is constantly
expanding and opening new fields for
skilled labor. In this respect it differs
from the Old World, Where the rigid
rules we have mentioned are in force,
A few years ago, any boy who desired
could learn a trade. There was a place
open Tor him, and he could engage i'm
the handlcr9tt best safted to him. Now

shops and vainly seek instruction or
employments. Each trade has it's rnles

WAGES ARRoAD.-Sixty cents a dayis
considered good wages for a working
man in any of the European countries,
except Great Britain, where the wages
are somewhat higher. In the Tyrol silk
region and in Italy they often donet get
more than ten cents. In the country in
Germany ten cents is the common pay.
Women often get but FIVE cents. In
Sweden men often work from 4 o'clock
in the morning till . in the evening and
do not get more. During the late war,
many poor women In Berlin were hired
to knit stockings for the soldiers Mt five
cents. The profits of the poor whokeep
petty shops, sell trinkets in the streets,
or act as suffers, do not average more
than three or four per cent. BARRIERS in
Berlin, since tlhe raisiHg gf their prices,
get five cents for hair emitting and two
and a half cents for shaving. Servants
at the hotels get from three to eight dol
lars a month. Servant girls iii private
families often get but ten dollars a year.
Sometimes these classes cannot get work
at any price.

ARREST OF Mn, .JosrpH BrocH,-Last

Of this place, of thefirm of Joseph Blocf
81 Co., and late of the firm of Bloch, Du.
pre- g. Co., on o writ issued ont of thu
.. S. District Court for Louisiana, OF
the affidavit of one of his creditors il
that city charging him with making {
fraudulent transfer Of his goods here
The Marshal and his prisoner left by
the Bradisll johnson for the city last
Sunday. The ground for the affidavit
and arrest was that recently Mr.. Blocl
sold the store and contents belonging tc
the firm here to Mr.. Solomon Isaacs, and
the report that he had also sold the plan
tation on Waxia. This report is not
true. The goods and store were sold al
a fair valuation, after beinginventoried,
and sold on terms of credit. The notes
are good and subject to the demands
of the creditors. The firm to which Mr..
Bloch belongs has here 100000 more as
sets than liabilities; but he could not
realize enough from the same owing to
the unusually hard times, caused by the
short crop, and the recent financial panic,
connect the demands of some of his
creditors. He naturally did not want
his property sacrificed especially to the
prejudice of some of his creditors. With
a reasonable extension of time he could
have paid all and kept his property his
property, if sold at a fair valuation,
would pay all now. But nothing brings
its value now inamoney, and Mr.. Bloch
did not wish one creditor to have all
his property sold alta great sacrifice, to
pay Il debt, and leave the others un-
paid and him still in hopeless debt He
sold the property for more than it would
bring under the sheritf7s hammer, with
out the cost OF legal process; and the
notes are good and will he paid. If
fraud had been intended the goods would
have been sold for cash. The goods were
not taken from the store, but the pur-
chaser moved in and carried on the bus
ness as usual, adding more goods to the
stock.
The arrest, we think, was occasioned
by an ignorance of the facts or from a
disregard of the untoward circum-
stances in which sorne of our merchants
find themselves placed by the failure of
THE crops and the financial crash. In
the present instance, if all whom Mr..
Bloch has favored had paid him, he
would nOt'owe adOllar buttheir means
failed and he has been left to suffer.
lie has been more considerate with his
debtors than his creditors, in this case,
lnave been with him. He has favored
Enany in business matters here, and
clone many charitable deeds; and when
Reresumes business he will not lack for
custom.
We presume that his arrest did not
lastlonger than he arrived in the city
and furnished bend.
