The Government Printer in Wash
ington writes to an applicant for work

possible chance for employment here.

The Oregon papers complain that
the cheap fares on California steamers
caused by recent sharp competition are
bringing into the State n very undcsir-
able class of people. They have no
means; they will not work; and food
and shelter they will have, for they are
as desperate and rs reckless in the ways
of life without labor as the tramps who
infest the country east of the Rocky
Mountains. Persons who go to Ore
gon to seek employment at trades, ms
clerks or as laborers, :" says a local paper,
''make a mistake. There are already
too many of these classes in that State
who are vainly applying for situa-
TONS"
The United States Consul at Amster-
dam says that the house of Daniel Loeb
has long been largely exporting leather,
principally tanned c~alf-skin, to the
United States. The Consul, noting
the cessation of these exports. called
upon the senior partner for an %explana-
ton. His answer was, Eve are no
longer exporters. We now import
from the United States. Affairs in
Europe are about being turned topsy-
turvey by the Yankees" He then
stated that not only did they import
leather from the United States, but
that they had also begun to import New
England shoes, and that European
manufacturers cannot compete either
in price or quality with the Americans.
The house has recently sent a large or
der to New England for shoes, and the
junior partner was about leaving for
the United States to perfect and en-
large their business relations.

church he halted; if the doors were
open he went in and passed hours in
lamentation and prayer; if they were
closed he gave the community no peace
until they were opened unto him.
Three weeks ago he arrived after dark
at a church adjoining a convent, and,
finding the door closed, began to
hammer with his cross. The monks,
alarmed at the racket, and thinking
that robbers were besieging the holy
place, besought the porter to defend
them. Selling n gun, and raising a
window, he blazed away at random.
There wa an immediate silence. One
monk fancied he heard in the air q
weary and wondering sound, but they
all crept back to their beds, and it was
not until morning that they discovered
the pious pilgrim stretched on the
ground beside the cross, wounded and
moaning.
