WHATS THE UsE.-"What's the
uSe?" is the common saying with the
boys in regard to hard, distasteful studies.
They mean to do something in life far
different from anything that will require
their dull, dry studies TO be brought into
play. But, leaving out of the question
the mental discipline got from them
which is after all, the main object OF
study, these very things may be
turned to excellent account in
after years. "My teacher made
me study surveying, twenty-five
years ago." said a gentleman who had
lately lost his property; "and now I am
glad OF it, for l can get a good situation
by this means, at q high salary" A
certain French king used 10 regret, with
great bitterness, the deficiency Of his edu-
cation, when surrounded by men Of learn
ing and culture. He reprosched the
memory Of those who had been SO iDdulg.
ent to his idleness, and said, with bitter
sarcasm, WAS there not birch enough in
the forest of Fontsin bleau2" Better 3
sharp, strict master. who insists upon
thoroughness in all you undertake, than
a frivolous, superficial one, who permits
you to slide over your lessons in an easy
way, which you will regret with like Bit
terness in later years"

THE IRON DIRK Frs.
The Prospects for Averting Another
Lock Out .GOOd-ArfangeInents for
Another Meeting Ofthe Parties in
In

The iron workers and manufacturers
have been at variance for some months
past, and during the last week or ten
days the puddlers have given the manu-
facturers to understand that if their
wages, which they consider less than that
of an unskilled laborcr,' were not put
upon a basis in accordance withthe mar.
ket price of merchantsbe iron, they (the
puddlers) would cease to labor
after the 3lst oil May. They also
asserted that if they ceased TO work dur
ing the hot months, they would have
more TO do, and be paid more literally
during the winter months--a time that
they could turn out better days work
with less labor.and less injury TO their
health, A conference was called with
the manufacturers, and five dollar rate
on two and half cent card, and an in
crease of twenty cents on every one
tenth OF advance in the selling price of
iron, was demanded by the boilers. After
a long Inference this was emphatically
declined by the IRON masters. Another
conference was sppolnted,' but the pud-
ulerS Teluseu W ulctL tuC iioH hlViii "hiSh
indicated that after Wednesday, the
mills would have to shut down whether
prepared Tor 1t or not. Some OF the
manufacturers were in favor OF lighting
the fires on the frst of, June, and if the
puddlers did not go to work as usual the
onus of the strike would be upon them.
Other manufacturers felt that a lockout
was inevitable, and, as they could not
afford to lose the trade by sending it west,
advocated another proposition, which
was agreed to, and submitted to the Pud-
lers' Society this morning.
The proposition is as follows:
The manufacturers will recede from the
81 so demand and agree to pay 81 10 on
a "a card rate, and 10 cents increase on
every 10 of advance in the market
price of iron. Accompanying this prop
osition is d request for another conference
on Thursday, June Let. This proposition
was discussed at length before avery full
meeting of the puddlers, and conclu.
sion had not been arrived at up TO noon
to-day. 1t is generally believed, how.
ever, that the conference will De con.
tinued and lockout avoided. -PttSburgh

On yesterday, while some workmen
we're engaged in laying gas mains on
North Front street, Island, and were
digging the trench near Mr.. Lambs resi-
dence, they exhumed skeleton, which
is supposed to be that OF an Indian.
The bones were quite entact, but
handling them they readily crumbled to
atoms. This is near the spot where
several years ago the. workmen who were
engaged in excsvsting the foundation for
the residence of Mr.. Lukens, discovered
the skeletons of several Indians.
The story which explains how
these bones lay moulderng there
runs somewhat in this wise: During the
early days Of Wheeling's history band
of quarrelsome savages camped on this
Identical spot. Col: Ebenezer Zane, who
was identified with pretty much every
thiag which occurred in those days
roundabout, look upon their arrival with
much suspicion and felt that unless they
were gotten rid of in some way he and
his whole family might be massacred. So
he be bethought himself of presenting
them with barrel of whisky, knocking
out The head and letting them drink
until the devil was sufficiently enlarged
within them to compass his object.
The barrel of fire water was furnished,
and the following morning the Colonel,
with some assistance from his trusty re-
tsiners, hastily passed resolutions of re-
spect and To-, 9 for the departed braves,
and placed their noble forms under the
sod. Some salt may be taken
with this version of the yarn
but it is said to be an established trait in
the savage character that if lett alone
with the necessary supply of whisky they
will dispose of themselves as effectual!y
as if they had been hit with the unerring
ball from the rifle of the old colonel him

THE SUN AS A NARCoTIC.-Sleepless
people, says good medical authority,
should pass as many hours in the sun
light as possible. 1t is the best and most
harmless narcotic. Many. however,
when the days become long, prevent its
access to the house by closing the shut
tiers and blinds. Ladies when they
promenade the streets, weat walls or carry
parasols to prevent its heslth-giving
light from shining upon their often
times wan and pale features. In order
to receive the full benefit of the suns
potent influence, its rays should not be
excluded from the house or Its inmates.

PROBABLE REDUCTION OF FARES
There is prospect Of getting railroad
rates to the Centennial AT q reasonable
figure. The feeling of disappointment
all over the country at the failure OF the
railroad companies to meet the popular
ideas upon the subject, is producing its
effect. Even the Philadelphia people
are having their eyes opened, and ex-
press the fear that unless something is
done there will be failure in the attend
ance at the Centennial. The rail
road companies are commencing to find
out that the policy adopted by them
early in the season Is not only hurting
their business, but is working injury in
other directions. The fact is, that with
the present rates or fare many people
who intended 70 60 to Philadelphia will
stay at home. There is now, however. a
prospect OF the combination being broken
We see il stated thst the New York
Central Railroad will reduce their rates
to-day. rhe rates from Chicago TO the
East will be reduced to $500, and from
Cincinnati TO $500. The Erie Railway
Company see these figures, and 60 one
dollar less. The break On these two lines
will probably force the other companies
to make similar reduction, which will
certainly be a source Of qualification TO
Thousands Of people who have been de-
tanned from making the Centennial trip
on account Of the high rates OF fare. /.

A BOLD THEFT OF HARNESS. Re
coyRRY OF THE SAME, AND PROBABLE
yAppRraihTioS ofrHE RoauE4E Early
yesterday morning Mr. P. Kennedy, who
but q short time ago moved from this city
TO the, Bsnoni Good farm, just this side Of
Elm Grove, instructed one OF his
hands to hitch up his horse, as
be- wished to drive into town.
On reaching the stable the man
discovered that the harness necessary to
make the performance of hitching apos
sibility, was gene, and four other sets
along with it. Mr.. Kennedy was called
to the stable, and the information i'm
parted to him that out of FIVE sets of har-
ness there wasn't sufficient leather re-
naming to make halter to suspend the
thieves. Mr.. p. took IN the situation
at once, and proceeded to investigate
The earth was soft in the vicinity and
ere long the fact was revealed that
three persons had been at work in their
bare feet. One entering the stable and
passing the harness to his accompiices
without. Examining their tracks still
further he ascertained that the thieves
had proceeded to the vicinity Of Carriers
line and there put on their shoes and
marched off with the booty. Borrowing 8
set of harness he hitched up his team,
fastened into town, and the first place he
brought up was at Haller's auction
rooms on Market Square. On iDquiring
of ME- Hallef If there was any such de
scribed articles in his possession, MIR. H.,
said they could be produced, that three
men had the night previously, nego'
tiated with him to sell some
second-hsnded harness which they
brought in early this morning
Mr.. Kennedy identified the stolen
property at once, and will proceed with
out delay to prosecute the parties, whom
he feels sure he knows were guilty, but
for proper reasons does not now desire
their names published. ..
