Try Both.

Our esteemed contemporaries are discussing
with great earncstness the relative excellence Of
country girls and city girls as wives 1t seems to
us only a new phase of the old controversy be-
tween the redoubted knights who disputed a. to
the metal of the shield which appeared to be sill
yer to one of them and gold to the other, simply
because they looked at it from opposite sides.
Country girls are good for wives, no doubt; but
city girls are not bad. 1t is partly matter Of
taste, and partly a question of feasibility. In
making a crock of butter or lodging through
pasture full of cows, city girl would scarcely
shine; while a country girl would be little at
sea in selecting dinner in Washington Market
or in steering her way across Broadway by the
Astor House in a pullback and with ten feet Of
train on her arm.
Yet either is so supremacy excellent and alto
getncr lovely that whatsoever mere man can get
either to accept him should esteem himeelf bles-
sed IL it were only a matter OF masculine pref
erences and abstract speculation rs to the best
methods Of promoting masculine happiness, we
should suggest TO young men that the country Is
more beautiful than the city al this season of the
year, and that country girls are described in all
literature to be as fresh as roses, as stately as pop
lars and as bending as willows. No time could be
more appropriate for getting away from the dust
and heat of the city to court them. The long
early summer evening, with the scent of the new
mown hay, wild flowers and fruit blossoms in the
air, is balm TO the weary spirit, and the compap-
ionship Of pretty girl who can talk to you, as
all country girls necessarily can, on all themes
from Klopstock to the potato bug, must be even
better than balm. We advise every inquiring
bachelor who has leisure for such bucolic pursuits
to go into the country about the first Of June and
look for a wife.
1t is nobler business than the quest of Jason
for the golden fleece Ponce de Leon for the
fountain of youth. If the adventurer fails to
meet his fate some moonlight night on the veran-
dab of an od-fashioned farmhouse in Western
New York or New England, ne will at least spend
pleasant vacation, learn as much as Horace
Greeley ever knew about agriculture, and per-
haps pick up new wrinkle or two concerning HUI
man nature. 1t might be well to carry on the
search in the vicinity of some deep blue lake
among the hills or near the sources of good
trout stream. If when fall sets in it finds the
speaker still fancy Free it will be in order for him
to conclude that he is to meet his late the hands
of city girl; and he should then lose no time in
returning to the metropolis and looking for wife
under the gaslight in draped and curtained draw
ing-rooms, where the tropical loneliness of rare
exotics and the temperate grace of cultivated
womanhood make a summer of the mind in mid
wn;er.-New York World.

an assault of the whole body of workmen.
II is in these contests as in all other
fighting; when war is declared and hos
tilities begun, each party seizes whatever
advantage 1t can and conducts in the
way which will most effectually impede
and subdue the enemy. The league of
capitalists in this case having decided that
they would not advance wages, and the
workmen having determined to force
them to do so by embarrassing their busi-
ness. they have determined to take the Of
fensiye. and have met the strike OF the
shipwrights by general lockout
How it will end there are no means OF
Judging, but unless it ends speedily the
loss by waste and idleness will be i'm
mense. The London Times sounds note
of alarm and urges reconciliation in the
interest of both parties, lest England lose
the business she has acquired by so much
effort OF building the iron ships OF the
world. If this condition continues, the
Times argues, those who want ships and
cannot get them in England will resort to
the United States, and if once the indus
try is lost it will be difficult affair to
win it back. The importance of this view
is enforced by suggesting how happy and
alert England would be if the situation
were reversed, if the industry, having
been established in America, were brought
to a stand-still by such lockout. y
Plainly that would be an opportunity as
good as could be wished 10 steal it away
from US. There is great fear lest the ma
tional interests will suffer and the inter-
ests of other nations gain by the quarrel.
The Times is very careful not to offend

ment on the merits OF the question at is

he lockout" on the CLYDE.

hO A<OSh"Out VII shAN ~ W.
The building of iron ships in Great Brit
ain is just now at standstlll owing to
q combined lockout" which is one of
most important and formidable on record.
The workmen known as shipwrights lit
tie time ago, thinking the time had come
for an advance in their wages, demand
ed it. They were refused. They there
upon struck work. 1t was plain that the
business could not long go on in any de-
partment with the shipwrigh;s idle, and
the ship-builders, in agreement, ceased
work entirely, throwing out of employ
ment, 1t is estimated, $4,000 men, and
cutting off the means of support of about
10000 persons OF both sexes and all ages.
The strike began on the Clyde. but we I'M
derstand that the combination of ship
builders who have made the lockout in
cludes not only those of the Clyde, but
those of the Wear, the Tyne, the Hum
Der and the Thames. The whole Indus
try Of iron ship-buildng in Great Britain is
temporarily suspended. 1t is, perhaps,
the most comprehensive and complete
suspension of a great Industry on account
of difference of opinion as to wages
ever known, and makes, as might be ex-
pected, great sensation and great anxi.
ETY. in many quarters.
When the projects of ship-buildng de-
clined, wages were reduced. These ship
wrights thought business had improved to
such degree that they were justified in
asking higher wages. The ship-masters de-
ny that they can afford TO pay more. The
workmen, having no confidence in their
representatives, set about to force COM
pliance. This was the aggressive step,
and forthwith it became at once contest
to see which could ], nges: do without the
other. The workmen who had not struc k
were surprised. and represent that it was
\ great injustice to deprive them of occu-
patton and wages because other workmen
were unreasonable, or, what amounts TO
the same thing, because the employers
thought them unreasonable. We do not
know, of course, all the motives which
may have actuated the ship-bulders.
They could have probably given the nom
strikers work for time but it may be
that the non-strikers were assisting the
strikers. and that in giving work 10 any,
they were, in fact, supporting the strikers
and enabling them to hold out until their
services could no longer be dispensed with
There may have been abundant indica-
lions that this movement of the ship
wrights was only Of the nature Of a for
lorn hope, to be followed in good time by
