The workingmen and their families have
everything to gain from peace and order
everything to lose and nothing to gain
from violence or lawlessness. Did any
honest workingman. be he ever SO much

by any riot New York has seenP VIII
any honest workingman in Chicago be the
better off by the riot there ? 1t is absurd
TO ask the question. While the mob RACES
all business stops, all wages cease; every
poor man becomes poorer; every family
whose head is workingman must pinch
the more and deny itself some of its few
comforts. If wages are low mob only
makes them lower and stops them alto
gether until it is crushed out. If the hard
times are oppressive, as they doubtless
are, the mob only doubles their hardship.

Pitlsburg. like some of the other Penn
sylvania cities, has already discovered
that one source OF reserve strength on
which the country can rely for putting
down formidable riots is in the sturdy,
law-abiding, order-oving survivors of the
Volunteer Army. These men unite to
much of the experience and GOODNESS of
the regular soldier the public spirit of the
loyal citizen. We have seen in Pttsburg
and elsewhere the great change wrought
by the appearance of these men merely
as "citizens' committees" on the scene of
conflict. Some of them seem to have
rallied, at the West, under their old war
organizations and colors; but everywhere
their presence inspires confidence. We
should not be surprised if this were to
greatly aid the solution of the problem of
riot-oueling in our land of law and order.

Mayor Butler began at o'clock with pile of
blank commitments about foot high lying on

all sorts of characters, good, bad and Indifferent.
Several had been arrested last night (through the
fear and excitement of the police who were guilty

The station-house is filled with stolen property and
snumber of thieves have been captured. A young
German was arrested having on his person IL four
ounce bottles Of nitrate of silver, valued at l50
each. He averred that he got them on the side OF

fellow was armed with huge pair of iron knuck

Deputy Mayor showed lule mercy to those who
were condemned by their countenances and could
give no reasonable account of themselves. Be-
tween 80 and go murderous looking wretches were
sent to the Workhouse for 60 or 80 days each, and
the aggregate time of the sentences imposed was

His request was refused, when he pulled a bunch

house. The restoration of order In our city may
well be hailed as the coming of millennium, for

A Strange Woman.

1t would seem, judging from the hero
inc of the following SKETCH that cleanli-
ness is not necessary to perfect health. A
wealthy English widow, of the first
Georges time, never allowed her room to
be cleansed, and the windows were so in
crusted with dirt as to permit scarcely
any light. She reasoned thus, when
asked for an explanation: If the room
were wetted she might catch cold; if the
windows were cleaned glass might be
broken and somebody hurt. She never
washed herself for fear of cold; as a sub
stitute she anointed her face and neck
with a little milk and hogs lard, finished
off with touch of rose pink on her
cheeks. She was methodical in her hab-
its, eating with one favorite knife, fork
and plate, and drinking out of one cup.
She had excellent health, abhorred physic
and doctors, and cut two new teeth at the
age of eighty-seven. She had no near re-
latiOns, and refused to see those more
distantly related. One pleasant charac-
terstic is recorded she had large, we'll
kept garden, in which she passed the
most of her time reading. Although she
lived entirely through the reign Of the
First and Second Georges, and far into
that of the Third, she continued to wear
fashions of the time of George First as be-
ing those Of her married life. Notwith.
standing this, she was everywhere treated
with respect. Perhaps her gold had
something to do with that, however. Her
household consisted Of one servant IAN
old mani two lap-dogs and a cat; and
these we're her only companions. She
survived until extreme old age.
