Loss by Strikes.

THAT strikes end in nothing but losses
all around is proved by results; thus, the
2.400 bricklayers who struck in the sum-
mer of 1868 from June until October, a
period of fourteen weeks, had $4,000 in
their treasury at starting, which, with
500, 900 subscribed in their aid by other
unionists throughout the country, Was
actually expended in carrying on the
strike, while the loss in wages (say 500
0O0) and in other ways, to say nothing of
that suffered by the employers and the
community, brings up the cost of the
movement to some 100000 or more.
Some 200 printers were on strike in
1869 eleven weeks; it is officially reported
that $29, 900 was subscribed in aid of the
strikers, and the value of their wages was
$3S, 800 more, making total cost of fully
$67 800. Both these strikes were unsuc-
cessful in their main objects.
The Bureau of Statistics in Massachu-
sets reports that the loss in production by
the former strike in Fall River was more
than 81 ,250, 000-the distinct loss to the
operatives about 1915 ,000 No doubt but
the larger strike which for the last half
year has been going on in Fall River
among many thousands of operatives in
wolves a much greater loss in production,
and proportlonate greater loss to the
workmen themselves. The strike is now
about ended, as in the principal mills
some of the men have resumed work.
The potters' strike at Trenton in 1869
lasted over twelve weeks and cost the men
engaged in it upward of $4,000, and
the employers over 100000,
The recent strikes at coal mines cost the
poor victims of their leaders $500,
and the employers, owners of mines, trans
porters of coal, and others $1,000 900, if
not more.-HanaJacturer and Builder.

Imitation Not a Means of Relief.

Col. Grosyenor, under the auspices of
the New York Board of Trade, gave his
views Monday night at the Cooper Insti-
tute on the all-important subject Of the
circulating medium.
Mr.. George Opdyke, President of the
board, introduced Col. Grosvenor. On
the platform were Peter Cooper, Isaac
Sherman, G. W. Amerman, George A.
Shaffer, James t. Van Rensselaer,, d. H.
London, Benjamin III. Welles, Henry
Kemp, S. Taneda, Thomas Holland and
others. The speakers address earnestly
advocated hard money and combated the
ideas of Mr.. Kelley and Gen. Butler on
behalf of the 800 bond issue scheme.
He showed clearly that the loss which
must come from the issue of new green
backs will fall upon the whole people,
pressing most hardly upon those who
have saved a little money, deposited per-
haps in savings bank or invested in a
life insurance.
He discredited the notion that the debt
or class formed the larger portion of the
community, and ridiculed the idea of in
f1atiOn as means ofTelief Of the green
back he says: On that bit of paper hangs
the honor of this great nation with DO, 000,-
900 Of freemen In the crisis of war, when
gold bonds sold for less than seventy cents
on the dollar, there remained but one con-
ceivable security which Government could
give-limitation of volume. In the act of
June 80, 1864, the Government gave this
pledge: Nor shall the total amount of
United States notes issued or to be issued
ever exceed $500, 100000" On the
strength of that pledge new issues were
accepted, even in those dark days. At
the very first session after the war closed,
Dec. 49, 1865, the House declared Judge
Kelley and 143 others voting yea and only
six voting nay) the necessity for con-
traction of the currency, with view to
the resumption of specie payments"
This is the same Judge Kelley who now
asserts that the legal-tender never was
to be redeemed. ~. Y Express.

Animal Life In the Ocean Depths.

IT was for many years thought that be-
yond the depth of 800 fathoms organic
life ceased to exist in the ocean. Forbes
reached this zero Of life in the f1gean
Sea, and the fact ascertained for the Medi-
terranean was inferred for all other seas.
The transmutation Of inorganic into or
ganic matter is only performed by vegeta-
bles, and then only under the controlling
power of light The distinction made by
naturalists between the lowest forms of
animal and vegetable life lies just here:
vegetables convert the inorganic elements
of earth, air and water into organized
matter; animals rearrange this organized
matter into animal tissue. 1t was we'll
known as no light penetrates the pro-
founder oceanic depths that no vegetation
can exist there; an absence of animal life
was therefore inferred Certain excep-
tons to this definition of vegetable life as
being exhaustive are found in the fungi,
which terminate snd grow in darkness,
and it is believed are nourished in great
measure by organic matter as we'll as in
the curious carniverous plants which have
OF late attracted so much attention This,
however, does not invalidate the truth
that all nutriment, in order to be fit for
the maintenance Of animal life, must
pass at least once through the transmuta-
ton effected only by vegetation.
The non-existence of life below 800
fathoms in all the oceans of our globe
was strongly supported by Forbes in
vestigations in the Mediterranean The
abyssal depths of the sea were thus de-
termined by logic to be the universal en-
pire over which reigned darkness, DESC
lation and death No investigations were
made as to the facts of the case. Logic
and a hasty generalization from made
quate knowledge were made once again
in the history of science to do duty for
the more laborious method of patient OBJ
servation. Commerce at last gave the
impulse to deep-sea exploration, which
had before been lacking. The CONNER
cial world demanded more speedy mode
of communication from continent to CONT
nent, and the response came in the form
of the submarine telegraph Thousands
of sOundings were made to determine the
best position in the oceans bed for its
successful laying, and thousands again to
secure the broken end after the first fail
ure. These soundings and grapplings
brought from the sea-depths unmistak-
able proof that life in many varied and
exquisite forms existed there, far away
from light and vegetation, under an
enormous pressure of superintendent
waters; and logic retired discounted.

Some of SANKEY'S Discoveries In
Africa.

THE New York Herald of Nov. 10
publishes a Geographic synopsis of letters
received in London from Stanley. He
says DR.. Livingstone was wrong in report
ing that the Victoria Nyanza consisted
of five lakes. Spoke correctly states that
Victoria Nyanza is one lake, but Speke's
two islands are peninsulas. The River
Shimeeyu is the principal feeder of the
lake and EXTREMIST source of the Nile vet
discovered
Stanley had several conflicts with slave
dealers on the lake. On one occasion he
was attacked by 100 natives, armed with
spears, in thirteen canoes, who were re-
pulsed after a severe fight. Three natives
were killed.
He arrived at the Utesal hunting camp
at Nisayura April 10, where the King di-
rected extraordinary festivities and dis
plays. One feature was a naval review
on the lake Of eighty-four canoes, manned
by $500 men. On the second day, in
addition to the naval maneuvers, there
were races in which eighty-four canoes
were engaged, each propelled by thirty
oarsmen, the King leading the fleet per
sonally, in the presence Of a great crowd
of on-lookers, including the 800 wives of
the King. On the third day there was
bird-shooting and target-practice by 5000
troops, and on the fourth day he returned
to Mtesas, the capital. ThisKing has 2,0O0,-
600 subjects. He is a Mussulman, has
great intelligence, and his dominion af-
fords the best augury TOR the possible civ
ilizatiOn of Africa.

A Flying Angel.

VISITORS to the Crystal Palace few
evenings ago were Mortified at beholding
human being suspended in the air by a
wire, with squibs and crackers exploding
around him in all directions. 1t was evil
dent that the spectacle was not intended as
an " amusement for frantic efforts were
being made to rescue the sufferer from his
frightful position. The man thus sus-
pended in the air was, in truth, :" Jove the
Thunderer," who, it was announced,
would descend on an inclined wire from
the top of the northern tower to the lake
on the terrace, amidst a shower of fire
works, and would, moreover, in his de-
scent, assume the position of flying
angel" Unfortunately, something went
wrong with the machinery by means OF
which the descent was to have been effect
ed, the result of which was that Jove the
Thunderer, after descending a certain dis
lance, stuck fast on the inclined wire.
With much difficulty a rope was at last
worked up to the scene OF Jove's misfort-
une, and workman, working himself up
hand over hand, rescued the Thunderer,
who then slid down in safety, to the great
relief of the spectators. ALPS well that
ends well. No fatal accident occurred,
but it is to be hoped that before JOve the
Thunderer again assumes the position of
a flying angel steps will be taken to pre-
vent the possibility of his becoming one
of these aerial beings prematurely.-PaH

ZIoN's HERALD thinks that much Of the
prevalent criticism of the churches for
unfaithfulness is unjust. 1t insists that
never before was there such a oneness OF
spirit in the different branches Of Christ's
church; never before so many laymen de-
voting themselves to personal services IN
the Masters vineyard, and never before
so many persons consecrated to the Mas
ter's service. And yet, appropriately adds
the Herald, there is room for great irn-
provement and great increase of power;
and this is to be secured not simply by
revival, but by a reformation like that in
the days of Whitefeld.
