The collapse of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers is only what
was expected and prophesied. No
fund is eAhaustess that is not steadily
recruited. The New England men,
bers of the Brotherhood were the first
to make complaint that they were not
paid their weekly dues according to
stipulation, and now we have the en-
gineers on the Erie, Pennsylvania,
and Northern Central and Philadel-
phia Railroads following suit, all ad-
vocating dissolution of the order for
the simple reason that 1t cannot carry
out its promises. This Is no quarrel
between workingmen and employers,
but among workipgmen themselves.
1t is distinct announcement that
idleness is not equal to industry in
the matter of furnishing needed funds.
A certain reserve may be good enough
to keep up certain amount of spunk,
but it caunot last against the inevitable
wear and tear of time. The engineers
in New York and Pennsylvania COM

that their promised supply of fifteen
dollars a week has been reduced to

A Great Country for a Lazy Man.

DR.. McBeau, in his letters on Nj
caragua, recently, drew Il picture of
what could be done in that country by
q man who was not disposed to waste
time in labor, and yet wished to live
independently. The government gave
him two hundred and eighty acres of
land, and the first necessity was Tor
house. This want was quickly sup
piled by the placing of four posts up
rightly in the ground, the spaces be-
tween which were filled with tie COM
mon cane, which grew in abundance
around, and then plastering with mud.
The roof was then matched with
grass, and the house was thus COM
pleted. Little furniture was needed,
a hammock answering all the purpose
of a bed and seat, and almost any
kind of earthen vessel would answer
to cook in. The next care was to
plant about dozen banana or plan
tain trees, which needed no further
care planted with yams, which, If
properly placed, would yield enor-
mously. The common .J'1gole and
Lima beans would grow with the
yams, as well as other vegetables, and
the native fruits OF the country were
almost indigenous. The plantains
and yams would yield more than
enough for the subsistence Of an en-
tire family, and game of every variety
could be shot almost from the door OF
the house. The climate was such as
to render little or no clothing abso
lutely necessary, and thus, with ono
months labor, man can fix himself
comfortably u year. Isn't that the
country fora lazy man ?-Nep Orleans

Relative Values of Corn and Pork.

There has been various careful tests
as to how much pork q bushel Of corn
will make. It seems to be conceded
that with the best breed of hogs and
the greatest care in feeding. there may
be certainly 81 pounds to the bushel.
With this date, it is for q farmer to
know what he is doing as well as
wha. is best to do. He will see at
once if corn is 25 cents per bushel
and hogs S cents, he should sell hogs
and not corn. But if corn be 30 cents
aud hogs 5 cents, it is profitable to
sell corn, Corn at As cents and pork
at 5 cents, are equal. And in this
way farmer can easily decide what to
do. Or in other words, find out what
he can obtain for his corn, then multi.
ply the price Of corn by 81, and he
can at once see which is the most pro.
ftable. Pork ought to be the stand
ard by which to ascertain the price
Of corn, and not by what they will
give at the railroad station. We have
said frequently that most of farmers
do not know whether they are making
or losing money, for the reason that
they do not make any effort to know
what their wheat, corn, pork or beef
costs. But when they have the raw
material on hand they should carefully
ascertain what is best to do with it.
And the rule which we here present TO
them will solve the question of what to
do with their corn. But in this calcn-
alton we make no allowance for the
poor breeds of hogs or for careless
feeding or Indifferent quarters for the
comfort and improvement Of the ami.
mails. All these must be taken into
account. Some men, by a slipshod
system Of feeding and bad treatment,
do not get cents per bushel tor corn

. CiviIty.

Many a man, raised from poverty
and obscurlty to wealth and honor,
can trace his Use to ciyility; it is sure
to reproduce itself in others, and he
who is polite will be sure to get, at
least as much as he gives. We be-
lieve it was Macaulay who defined po-
likeness as benevolence in small things.
The French, who are nothing unless
satirical, declare politeness to be the
zero of friendships thermometer.
