| EMPLOYEES AT THE CENTENNIAL.
Anoticeable feature of The Clark Thread
and considerate attention to the welfare and
pleasure OF their employees. The Centennial
Exhibition afforded an opportunity for its
practical illustration which should not pass
nnnoticed in this article. Desiring to give all
thelt OPERATIVES an Opportunity to witness the
nation had accomplished during the first
hundred years OF it's existence in industry and
art, the company planned and carried to COM
plete success a monster excursion to Phila-
delphia, which embraced their fifteen hun
dred employees, with invited guests; mem
bers OF the press, and the mayor and Com
mon Council of the City OF Newark. Some
idea Of its extent may be gained when it is
known that torty-fve railroad coaches were
employed for their accom- mediation, and the
cost tor transportation, admission, entertain
! ment, etc, exceeded six thousand dollars
but this large sum is small compared with the
unalloyed pleasure which was afforded the
! grand army Of industrious people who find
employment at the Clark Thread Company
Works in Newark. The Common Council
passed and caused to he beautifully engrossed
and presented to the Company, . series of
resolutions from which for lack of space we
| copy only the following extract:
] Resolved That Witnessed p;fl, rro>k
| satisfaction the kindness aud attention shown
by the officers of this Company to their fifteen
| hundred working people, and the evident
good feeling that exists between them; reccg-
nizin!g that when labor and capital thus har.
| monte, prosperity must ensue.
! Resolved, That the location of the CLARK
| THREAD COMPANY in our city, With their i'm
mense works, and their army of operatives.
| has proved vast benefit, and that Newark is
and should lie, justly proud OF her manufac-
lures on which her growth and prosperity
| must ever depend, and that this municipality
should foster and encourage by every proper
means their establishment and success.
Resolutions of thanks to the Company were
also passed by the employees.

One Way of Collecting Subscriptions.
A barrister recently received letter
from school board election agent to
this effect: ''Sir-I am deeply inter-
ested in procuring the return of Mr..
- for the board, and, knowing your
views upon educational matters, have
taken the liberty of putting your name
| upon his committee. l have further
ventured to put down your name as
subscriber Of five guineas toward his
expenses, and unless you notify me on
or before the til that you do not con-
cur in these arrangements, shall take
the further liberty of assuming that
you acquiesce in them, and that may
look to you for the subscription record
ed to your name.
Tie barrister promptly replied.
"Sir-I regret that l cannot accept
the offer made by you to me in your
letter of yesterday. may, however,
mention that am deeply interested
in raising a fund to provide for the
necessities of adestitu te and deserving
widow lady. Knowing your charitable
disposition, have taken the liberty
ct putting down your name as sub
scriber tor ten guineas and since, bis
dat qui c1to, shall, unless hear from
you to the contrary by midday to-mor-
row, venture to assume that you accept
my offices on your behalf, and that
may look to you for that amount of sub
scription.''
Early the next morning there came
messenger, in haste in a cab; bear
inga letter from the agent, $50 sorry;
but pressing calls upon his purse for
babe him to accept Mr.. IS kind Of
fces.'
Father Tabor, of the Boston Sea-
mans Chapel, furnishes as many good
things for the papers as any other
man. The other Sunday. in the midst
of his sermon, he called an old salt to
order, who was walking out of, the
meeting. "Aye, aye, sir,'' responded
Jack; ''l'll be back in the twinkling of
a marlingspike; I've only got to get
my grog.'' 80.
