LABOR AND LIVELIHOOD.

Men work to live, and live to work.
Toll is a common inheritance in some
shape, But, labor as we will, speculate,
trade, hunt office, &C., &C., hold upon
mother earth is the only real security
for livelihood.
When business is in confusion, trade
precarious, manufacturing stagnant, and
all values uncertain, with the market de.
clining, then do men begin to realize the
little reliance in stocks and speculations,
and how little to be depended upon that
system Of dependent labor that "begs a
brother of the earth to give him leave to
toll"
In fact, at such time as this, when
our towns and cities are full of the unem-
ployed; when so many stalwart and
skillful men cannot sell at any price
the only thing they have to sell, their
time 1t such time, we say, men real.
ize what blessed thing a few acres of
fertile soil would be, whence, with mod.
crate toll, they could procure a liveli>
hood without begging brother of the
earth for permission to work and earn an
honest support.
The rush Of people West and South is
in consequence Of the condition of things
referred to above. The cheap and fer>
tile lands invite them, with moderate la,
Dor, to comfortable living and indepen-
dence. Agriculture is the true remedy
for hard times. Thousands more would
remove if they could dispose of their
little homes, immigration societies are
forming in many towns and cities, and
lands being purchased and settled South
and West. One of the most noted of
these is that composed of Baltimore
workingmen, and called "The Kansas
Colony" The success of these depends
upon the men themselves. A Swiss col
ony settled on the Cumberland nouns
tains in 1873, and have been very sues
cessful. There were II5 families, nuns
bering some 100 souls, and they pur>
chased 10000 acres at 81 an acre, and
now each family has a comfortable
home. They have their own company
store, have dairies and cheese factories,
splendid herds of cattle, and in fact are
thriving. A similar Swiss colony is
equally aourishing near Greenville,
South Carolina.
With the present facilities of transpor.
ton, men of industry and resolution
may soon fix themselves in good homes
and be independent. As Robert Burns
said, "the most humiliating of all spec
tacles is to see a man, with wife and lit
tie ones dependent on him, begging for
work."

THE Senate have made Mr.. Blaine
chairman of their committee on Civil
Service and Retrenchment, and have
given him for lieutenants Mr.. Oglesby
and Honest John Patterson, of South
Carolina, with FIVE indictments on his
back. Mr.. Blaine's peculiar relations
with the Fraudulent President, and his
known opinion respecting the civil SER
vice reform of the White House, must
cause Mr.. Hayes to regard the Senator
from Maine as better adapted for this
delicate duty than any of his colleagues.
Reformers like Carl Schurz and Geo.
w. Curtis will rejoice that this commit
tee is at last organized to promote their
theories.

SENATOR BLAINE ON HA YESS IT,
Tie.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Blaine
said to-day that so far as the title Alex
ander H. Stephens accords to Hayes is
concerned, the simile is peculiar. "Mr
Stephens" said he, "says Mr.. Hayes
holds his office by better title than
George Washington did, because Mr..
Hayes was put there by the highest judi'
cial tribunal ever formed in this country,
That reminds me, said Mr.. Blaine, "oi
an old fellow up in Maine who ran for
an office, and they charged on the stump
that he had been indicted for villainy OF
some kind. The candidate answered in
his own behalf that the other candidate
made a great blunder in making the
charge. He admitted the indictment,an
pointed to the fact that he had the verdict
of twelve jurymen to the effect that he
was an honest man, while his opponent
had never even been indicted, and con-
sequentIy could have no such recom>
mendation for the sufrages of the peo.
pie. ."-BrOOkDA Union.

GEN. DE TRoBEIAND, who commanded
the military which in 1875, expelled al
the point OF the bayonet the Louisiana
Legislature, became involved, a few days
ago, according to New Orleans paper
in discussion of French politics, and ex'
pressed very warmly his detestation ol
the spirit and acts of the French Presi.
dent, and his hope that the French peo.
pie would hurl him from power. "But
how, General, if in his despotic acts he
should be backed by the army2 Do you
think he will not find officers of the army
who would support him, to the point Of
expelling the members of the National
Assembly from the legislative halls2"
The General shrugged his shoulders and

blame, if not more so, than the men. How
is it, she asks, that, now that ladies have
ceased to be as ignorant as pillow boys-now
that they are well read in astronomy, trav-
els, and poetry. and can talk glibly
on the evolution theory or the latest
change in the ministry-how is it
that men avoid the society of ladies
and spend their time at the clubs or in still
worse company? This is question in which
our own countrywomen are equally inter
ested, and which our monitress and guide
above mentioned answers by charging the
ladies with a want of common politeness to-
ward the male sex. How few ladies nova
days are well-bred enough to respond by a
slight inclination of the head to the polite
ness of a man who makes way for them,
whether in the street or on a crowded stair
case. How often do they exercise Christian
charity when a cavalier, in spite of all care
and diligence, happens to have the misfor
tune to tread on their voluminous trains?
The reward he gets for his apologies and
pleas for pardon is too often only black
look, If not less gentle and more audible
rebuke. This being the case, ii IS high time
to start on a crusade for the restoration of
good manners and amiability, and the best
and most elementary advice that can be
given to both sexes, for perhaps both are
equally defaulters, is not to be too sparing
with what has been called the small change
of courtesy, which costs so little and goes
so far.-London Globe.
