we do not propose here to discuss. The
fact is. however, that from the earliest
period OF the recorded history of our race
it has been customary with the people of
civilized nations to set apart one day of
the week for a day of rest-a day on
which the usual business avocations of
the week have been set aside, so that
mans mental as well as his physical
nature could obtain rest, and by means
of rest be the better prepared on the
morrow to again resume life's duties.
Experience has long since demonstrated
the wisdom Of this procedure, and it has
been shown again and again by statistics
that men as we'll as the lower animals can
in the long run accomplish more, and
with more satisfactory results. by work.
ing six days and resting on the seventh,
than they can by continual daily labor,
week after week, without cessation.
In view of these generally admitted
facts, and by the request of prominent
citizens, we would respectfully suggt st to
the gentlemen who control the working
OF our large mining companies the pro-
priety of inaugurating the system Of alb
staining from all unnecessary labor in
their mines on Sundays. Doubtless the
pumps in many Of the mines would have
to be kept in use, and it might be neces-
sary to perform some other work. The |
services of most of the men employed |
might however be spared on that day. |
Without entering upon argument to sus-
tain the position, we will say that we be-
lieve the moral and sanitary condition of
our community would be improved
by adopting the course suggested. If
after having given the proposed innova-
ton q fair trial the results should be
found prejudicial to the best interests of
stockholders, it would be an easy matter
to fall back TO the present system. We
trust that ministers of religion and those
who are laboring for the advancement of
our race morally, as well as physically,
will use their utmost endeavors to have
this measure brought to trial in this
county. Il Virg. Chronicle.
ATTORNEY GENERAL PIERREpoNT. This
gentleman is now being pretty generally
discussed in the Eastern papers. All
agree as to his personal fitness for the
position and to his estimable character
in social life. The St. Louis Republi-
can, a very candid Independent journal
OF Democratic proclivities, says of him:
His presence is impressive and win
ming, his conversation refined and cult
waited by study and travel, and his man
ners'are those of conrtier OF the time
of Sir Walter Raleigh His fortune is
ample and his position has always been
, that of O gentleman Of leisure and eie-
waited tastes" This is very good Cd
dorsement from journal not in political
sympathy with the subject, but the sting

affiliations in politics." continues the
Republican, shave always been the ex-
act antipodes of his social connections,
