THE BUELL. FAMILY.-This family group,con-

rection of their father, Prof. Buell., visited our
place last winter and sang SO sweetly and sat
isfactorily that general desire was expressed
for them to return and favor us with another
concert. Without any pretension or style, their
execution is natural, easy and graceful; words
clear and ineligible, the selections appropri-
ate and spiritual, and their voices sweet and
blended. We felt better under their singing,
and have seldom experienced more enjoya-
BILE concert. We hope that large audience
will greet them, and shall certainly count our
selves among the number. The concert takes
place at the M. E. church, on Monday and
Tuesday next, at o'clock P. M.

The Logic or strikes.

Tie want Of success which has attended tho
strike Of the Pennsylvania miners does not
seem to have taught them the folly Of
susponding work when the issue involved is
Of no very great moment Under certain con-
ditions, no doubt, the workingman, BY a
refusal to labor, may compel the capitalist to
accede 70 his terms. But this favorable con
dition 81 tho labor market seldom exists, and
nine times out OF ten it would be wiser for
the working classes to submit to some reduc-
ton than to engage in a struggle in which
even success would not repay them for the
sacrifices its attainment necessarily involves.
AT q time when the financial condition Of this
country was certainly not very reassuring and
there existed general stagnation Of trade the
miners Of the Pennsylvania coal regions de-
cided on resisting . reduction Of wages by q
general strike. at the same moment there
we're hundreds Of thousands Of men in the
country who would willingly have gone to
work for twenty-five per cent Of what the
miners refused 70 accept, and who would have
esteemed themselves lucky in procuring en-
ployment at any rate that would have guaran-
teed them and their families from starvation.
Yet under such conditions the workmen Of q
large district voluntarily struck work because
the mine owners found they could not profit
ably employ them at the old rate. Tho
struggle inaugurated 80 rashly has now gone on
for many months, and In the end the work
ingmen are obliged to submit. By their
want Of common sense they have embittered
vested the savings q many years Of industry.
Even If success had crowned their efforts it
would take years to replace the loss incurred
in sustaining their strike during the past few
months. II, before entering upon these profit

We print this morning the baccalaureate
sermons Of President Smith, of Dartmouth
President Campbell, Of Rutgers President
McCaulay Of Dickinson. and President Ray
mond, of Vassar. These discourses thus
grouped make one Of the most interesting
chapters presented in newspaper IN long
time The baccaaureate sermon IS one OF
the few marks that are lett Of the sectarian
character Of our colleges, and yet it would be
difficult to determine from any one OF them
the particular Church to which its author be-
longs Though Or. Smith preached on the
Breadth Of the Commandment of God, " his
discourse was altogether free from broad
Church ideas and was merely the conservative
and orthodox expression of the beliefs of all
Professionalism. The same thing is true of all
the others. President McCaulay was not
Methodist and President Campbell was not
Dutch Reformed. This liberal spirit is some
thing over v hich we ought to felicitate our
selves, since the oneness Of the Christian
spirit OF these annual addresses goes far to
make our colleges free from mere narrow sec
tarianism. Many Of our most eminent insh-
tutions Of learning were founded only as
exponents Of some religious denomination and
to teach some particular dogma When the
sermons, which were the expression Of this
purpose, become so much alike as to make it
impossible to discover the sect in the dis
course they are proof not only Of generous
Christian spirit but Of a culture which will
not trammel itself by narrow bigotry. The
baccalaureate sermon is one of the quaint
inheritances Of the early foundations of our
higher institutions Of learning, but since they
are no longer expressive of mere sectarianism
we hope they will grow in interest and i'm
portance from year to year. 1t is for this rea-
son we give them the importance they deserve
by surrendering large part of our space this
morning to such of them as were delivered at
the different colleges yesterday.

faults the Americans are religious people, and
that it is grave mistake to judge them from
