The PR1NcIPLE.-A great deal OF
wild and senseless talk is INDUCED
about the earnings of this and that
corporation, and Of their ability or IN
ability to pay this and that rate OF
wages for labor. In moral point OF
view, and as ground of remonstrance
and negotiation between the men who
wish to sell their labor to corpora
ton and the managers Of that corpo-
ration, this subject comes into legltl-
mate debate. But it is misleading
and mischievous when it is made the
ground for asserting rights that DO
not exist.
The real principle at the bottom is
that labor in the lat or market is ex-
actly like wheat in the wheat market.
The price is regulated by the principle
of demand and supply, and this prin-
ciple, in it's practical operation, is gov
erned by another principle which con,
Germs scarcity and abundance. Labor
is dear when it is scarce and cheap
when it is abundant. Men who have
labor to sell may combine to put up
the price of labor, as farmers and
dealers who have wheat to sell may
combine to put up the price OF wheat.
This is all right and lawful, but when
men who have labor to sell combine
to prevent other men who have labor
to sell from selling it, by force and IN
timidation, they transgress the law
and are Justly amcnable to lis penal
ties. They are in exactly the same
position that the farmers OF Saunders
county would be if they should COM
bine in great majority TO force few
other farmers by threats and violence
from selling corn at twenty cents a
bushel because it was SO abundant,
even though the families of these few
farmers might be half starved on ac-
count of their being deprived of that
liberty Omaha Herald.

MELONS should be cut before they
are matured, and placed in a cool
place to ripen, because owing to une.
quail distribution of the suns rays over
melons, the whole of the fruit does
not ripen simultaneously, the upper
part becoming fit for eating, whilst
that next to the foot-stAlk remains in.
tolerably bitter, SO thas by placing
them in situation where the temper
ature is equable, they ripen gradually
and uniformly.-[Ex.

A BIG STORM OR BIC SToRY.-Mr.
Toffiemier, sheep man who has large
focks in Eastern Nevada, was in the
city recently and gave an account of
sand storm in San Bernardino coun-
ty, California, which buried flock of
sheep, 5000 in number, and their
three herders, who were Frenchmen,
twenty feet deep. He himself drove
his flock over the sand which covered
those that had proceeded him and had
perished.- Virginia Enterprise.

A SLEEK. fat old gentleman arose in

A SLEEK, fat old gentleman arose IN
Plymouth church, lately, after Mr..
Beecher's talk, and said that he was
troubled about condition of selfish
ness in which he was. Three months
age he came to Brooklyn, and after
casting about for some weeks, conclu-
ded to follow his inclinations, and to
make Plymouth church his religious
home. He found himself just suited
He had heard great many preachers
in his day, but none Of them ever en-
tered into his being as did Mr.. Beech
er He was so full of the enjoyment
of the religion as he received it there,
that he felt no inclination to do any
thing. Mr.. Beecher thought out his
religious thoughts, prayed for him, and
as for his singing, the choir did that.
Everything was 50 pleasant and SO
wholly to his taste, that he must con-
TESS he remained in state OF COM
plete selfshness because of it. Was
It right? Mr.. Beecher said that doc
tor never would advise man that he
had no right to enjoy a meal OF vict-
uals. So he could not call it selfish II
a man sought out a religious COM
munity in which he felt himself most
completely at home, and with those
who could do him the most good. The
name of the satisfied brother was said
to be Smith. He was recently admit

THERE is no contrast so absolute be.
tween any two different forms of mat
ter, as there is between two different
states of the same mind. There is no
transition in Nature from one physical
condition to another SO absolute or so
radical as the transition to which hu-
man character is subject when it
passes under the power of new con-
victions. There is no change like the
change from hatred to affection, from
vice to virtue, from evil to good. And
this change in mind is the efficient
cause of a whole cycle Of other
changes among the phenomena which
the human will can and does alter,
regulate and consrol.-[Argyll.

often as the thirst or craving may de-
sire. Let him continue this practice.
His old chums will laugh; but let him
persevere, and it will not be a week
before the appetite for any kind OF
stimulant will disappear altogether,
and water be taken to quench the nat

A DISPATCH from Fort Hall Indian
Agency says: A Bannock Indian shot
two teamsters at the agency four or five
days ago-one seriously, neither IA
tally. The shooting occurred under
excitement caused by a rumor that
the hostile Indians were approaching
the agency. The shooting was an in
dividual act, and is condemned by all
the Indians on the agency. Agent
Davidson Immediately called together
the head Indians in council, who all
condemned the act, and sent men in
pursuit of the Indian, who immediate
ly fed. They have assured the agent
that he shall be caught and brought
back, and that they will guard against
auy recurrence Of the kind Every
thing is quiet and peaceable now.

THERE is nothing which adds so
much to the beauty and power of man,
as a good moral character. 1t is his
wealth-his infuence-his life. 1t
dignifes him in every station, exalts
him in every condition, and glorlhes
him at every poriod of life. Such a
character is more to be desired than
anything else on earth. 1t makes a
man free and independent. No servlle
tool-croaking sycophant-no treach
erous honor seeker ever bore such a
character. The pure joys of truth
and righteousness never spring IN
such person. If young men but
knew how much good character
would dignity and exalt them, how
glorious it would make their prospects,
even in this life; never should we find
them yielding to the grovelling and
base,born purposes of human nature.

THE MOLLIE MAGUIRES.
IN. O. PicaYune.

N. u. Ptcdyune.j
Seven members of the famous Mollie
Mauuire Association of the Pennsylvania
miuing region, who have been under sen-
tence of death for some time, were hang
ed on Thursday. The most urgent efforts
we're made by the friends of these oon-
dernned mon to avert the death penalty,
but without avail, a the public sentl'
mept demanded the execution OF the SEN
tence.
The powerful secret organization OF
which these men were representatives,
has for some years set the laws OF Penn
sylvania at defiance, and terrorized the
people of u considerable portion OF the
mining districts. 1t is difficult to con-
ceiye a state of society so utterly vicious
and corrupt that band of assassins llke
that should pursue it's brutal course OF
crime month after month in tho very
teeth of the authorities, and that the lat
ter should be for so long time power
less to check the evil, or even to detect
the offenders.
Had Pennsylvania been one OF the
Southrn States during the late few years
one half the disturbances and lawlessness
which have occurred within her borders
during that time would have been tue
pretext for quartering an army upon the
| State, and harrassing the citizens with
! indiscrimirate arrests and prosecution
But the law has been vindicated at last
| and it is hoped the executions may have
the effect of enforcing more consideration
for the peace and good order of society
and more humanity anon. these savase
of the mining districts. twill he equal
ly gratifying if the State Administrator
of Illinois can pursue tue same class
outlaws in that State, with sufficien
vigor to secure a respect for law and
better condition of society there.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Of course quarreling between husband
and wife in public is very vulgar; SO is
love-making. Among our acquaintances
is sure to be, at least, one pair OF. tur'le-
doves " no make love TO each other in the
most bareface manner, and quietly ignore
the calming presence of bystanders i'll the
raptures and endearments to which they |
so frankly deliver themselves. II they |
have been separated for few hours, they |
rush into each others arms and emb ace |
with a fervor that mi rht be condoned as
a public manifestation had they been
separated or were going % be seph 'ated
for many years. AS an expression o1Joy
at their reunion after perhaps few hours
absence, it is puerile and unseemly. NO
matter who is there-the selt-res6ra'ned
wife, reticent and modest; the satirlcat
man of the world, intolerant OF all Xmas
of gush and contemptuous OF unrestraln1;
burned out age or una~ akened youth-i'
| is all one; they give way to the ecstasy
of the moment, kiss and hug, AID fondle,
| and hang about each other with every
endearing epithet, every gesture and ex-
preston ofdelight, so that the well-bred
| stare in wonder, and the sensitive blush
for shame. Other vulgarities are to tie
found in the way i'll which some husoahds
and wives banter each other in public,
they mean no harm: but they put their
friends to discomfort by the manner IN
which they play at elimination. and ny
the hard-looking pellets-realiy, nothing
snrOnerGV'
cusations-wh which they fling at each 9TH
er without cessation. You, who have not
zen,ot d. eniqme, do not quite understand
the meaning of it all. Yon think him
tough. her teasing, aud both rude; but te
themselves it is only little comen!
which they are enacting to their owl
, satisfaction, how much soever to the EN-
bar .assment of the bystarders. Whei
the husband accuses his wife OF various
f,nlts. any one of which would be serl
ous failure of morality, you, the bysSand
org. do not know how to take it. II real
lyou feel you respect for the woman ooz'
ont like Bob Acres's courage; it not real
:, tho husband, to your mind, deserve

+ the knowledge that this is banter, an
e that they are only a little comedy be
t tween themselves, you simply relegat
then 10 that large army of conjugai WI
yariaps whose society you do not attec'
and wish that they would go elsewher

!, and leave you to the enjoyment II the'
