James r. Weaver, United States
Consul in Antwerp, Belgium, reports
to the Department Of State that labor
is rarely peitor med in that country
by the piece or job. The men oppose
vigorously any attempt to change the
present custom of work by the hour
or by the day. They work II hours
a day in summer and 10 in winter.
They keep Sunday and numerous hol-
idays, averaging only ~ working days
in month. The whole family works.
Mothers leave their babies in the
breaches (nurseries,) where they are
kept almost gratuitously, while the
mother is at work with her older chill
dren. Since the extensive importa-
ton of American bacon, the poorer
classes can indulge in meat as n small
part of their food. The middle class
IS breakfast at six on pork, bread,
butter and coffee; at ten o'clock they
have bread, butter, and glass of gin;
at noon soup OF meat and vegetables;
at 4 p. NJ, bread, butter and coffee; in
the evening, potatoes, buttermilk,
broth, bread and butter, and occasion
ally tea. Economical kitchens have
been successful in providing the poor
err classes with good meals at small
prices. The surplus earnings Of the
laborers too often go to the dramshops.
When health fails, the father dies, and
starvation threatens, the poor house is
of easy access. The state, the church,
and charitable institutions provide the
means of existence or the cost Of bu-
rial in such cases. None are permit
ted to beg. If too lazy to work they
go to the workhouse; il sick or in
firm, to the hospital or slmshouse.

THE SKATIND SEAsoN.-In spite of the in
tensely cold weather Treadway's ice pond is
nightly crowded with skaters and spectators.
| Old and yong, expert and amateur skaters do
congregate there. And besides, it's such a
| Jolly place for innocent firtations, you know.
What greater bliss can enter the soul of an
aspiring youth than to take his sweetheart,
who has never worn pair of skates, to the
rink, and tenderly placing his arm around her
slender waist, carefully he gives her the first
lesson in what truly is the "poetry of move
ment." Then comes the awkward gawk-he
desires to make an impression, and before he
has taken many steps he does make one-upon
the ice, This, as a general thing, causes an
outburst of laughter, and if he has modest,
timid nature, like the Volunteer Aid he will
retire from the scene of inconsiderate revelry
for the evening. On Wednesday evening the
rink was well patronized. \ large fire was
built upon the ice, and there was no need that
any one should freeze. SO long as the pres
ent cold weather continues, Will Treadways
pond be pleasant resort for all who are fond
Of outdoor sport.

OBSEQUIES OF MRS. TORMEY.

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock High Mass
was said in the Catholic Church. The Rev
Father MOnogue was the celebrant, assisted
by Father Haupt as Deacon and Father O'Sul-
Ivan as sub-Deacon The service was very
impressive. The funeral panygeric was de-
Hvered by Father Nulty, of Gold Hill, and
was an excellent and well arranged DISCOURSE
THE MUSIC
was remarkably fine The choir OF . st.
Mary's in the Mountains came down by pri
yate conveyance. Professor F. Dellepiane
presided at the organ. He is a superb per
former and his delicate yet forcible touch ad
ded greatly to the beauty Of the service.
The choir consisted Of Mrs Murtha, Soprano,
Miss Maggie Timmons, Alto, L, P. Pryor, (of
the Richmg Bernard Opera Troupe) Tenor,
and Joseph Cagnon, Basso. We really can
lot speak too highly of this music, it was ex-
ouisite The quartette ''Yen Jesu', and
the solo Ave Maria, by Cerubini Of Mrs
Murtha, were most delightfully."- rendered.
THE FUNERAL
Took place from the church at , P n, The
services were conducted by the Vicar General
At the Church and the cemetery. The funeral
cortege was very large one. a number Of
friends Of the family came from Reno, Gold
Hi, Virginia and other points. There were
thirty eight carriages in the procession. The
turnout of friends is a sufficient guarantee Of
the regard in which Mrs. Tormey was held,
and as an evidence of the sympathy felt for
Father Torlney and his sister To the latter,
who was more intimately associated with the
deceased, and who is left almost alone in her
sorrow, we extend, in common with her many
friends, our sincere sympathy.

sURIECr TO THE CONVENTION.

A working, toiling Democrat. who signs
himself "Obseryer," calls attention to the
fact that some Of the aspirants for office, in
announcing themselves as candidates, fail to
state Subject TO the action Of the Democratic
convention" Malcontents and aspirants
seeking pretext to justify their medltated
treachery may take advantage of this onlis-
sion on the part of some of the candidates in
announcing themselves; but they will find
that when the nominating convention meets
on the thirteenth OF June every true Demo-
crat will 90 before the delegates and solemnly
pledge himself to abide by its action. We
have never seen more unanimity on the part
of candidates to abide by the result of the
county convention. A convention had not
been determined on when some of the candi-
dates announced themselves. With perhaps
one exception every man whose name is an
nounced in the APPEAL will go before the
convention, and will faithfully observe their
pledges. The unprincipled gamblersometimes
appeals 10 the police for the recovery of the
money he has lost at his own game, and the
candidate who submits his name to a nomi-
mating convention, and after losing, becomes
a candidate upon the stereotyped excuse of
unfairness, is guilty of conduct still more
dishonorabe. II is the unfair game of
''heads I win, tails yuu Lose" So candi-
his party, assembled in convention, it is not
important that he should herald this deter
mination to the unorganized multitude.

THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.
Recent Heavy Rain storms and Damp
Atmosphere Causing Considerable
Apprehension Concerning the
Growing Cereals-CrOps
Very Forward, Etc.

LONDON, May 14.-The Mark Lane Er-
press, IN its review of the British corn trade
for the past week, says: Recent heavy ram
falls and damp atmosphere excite some ap
prehension for the growing cereals, but if the
warm weather continues, no injury will prob
ably result. Hitherto the weather has been
exceptionally favorable, and the crops are
very forward. Numerous reports, from vari
GUS points of the country, are very hopeful
for an abundant cereal crop, and the pastures
are luxuriant The favorable state of the
crops, in connection with more pacific politi-
cal news, has depressed the grain trade, which
remains in a state of suspense pending a
definite settlement of the eastern question.
English wheat sold slowly, both at the Mark
week prices were with difficulty maintained,
even for the choicest parcels. The weeks
imports Of foreign wheat into London has
been fair. but not excessive America and
southern Russia has been the chief source of
supply. According to the latest advices from
Calcutta the quantity of Indian wheat af1oat
on the seventh of May was only 1855 quar-
tiers, against 1854 for toe corresponding
time of 1877. The holders of foreign wheat,
while showing but little desire to
force sales, nevertheless have been

CINCINNATf's FESTIVAL.
The Opening Concert OF the Grand HAY
Musical Festival q Complete Sue
cess-Enteresting Incidents At
tending the First Days
Performance.

CINCINNATI, May 14.-The early hour
seven o'clock-fxed for the opening concert
of the festival proved too early for chorus,
orchestra or audience. 1t was twenty minutes
later when, with densely- packed auditorium,
Theodore Thomas made his appearance upon
the stage, followed by the soloists. With
low bow in response to applause, he turned to
the orchestra, waved his baton, and with the
first notes of Scenes from GlucL'S AlceSte,
the third musical festival was begun. This
performance brought into play the following
sololsts: Madame Pappenheim, Miss Cranch,
Miss Henkle, Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Fritch, Mr..
Thompson, Signor Tagliapietra, Mr.. Rem
metz and Mr.. Whitney, beside the full chorus
and orchestra. While the performance was
the acoustic qualities of the hall, when
filed, to remove any doubts of their
perfection. The brief intermission which
followed was interrupted by the appearance
of Mr.. Springer, accompanied by Mr.. Julius
Dexter, and followed by the members of the
festival association. AS the audience caught
sight OF the little procession moving across
the stage handkerchiefs were waved and
spontaneous outburst of cheers filed the
building, while shower of bouquets fell
around the gentleman who had done
so much to promote the cause of
music in this city. He acknowledged the
manifestations of the audience, and with
slight bow. and wave of the hand he seated
himself, possibly the happiest man of the
whole assembly. Brief addresses were made
by Messrs. Dexter and Longworth; but when
the venerable Mr.. Springer arose, the ap-
plause was deafening and long continued.
The festival ode. the music of which was
composed by Mr.. Otto Singer, who
has for several years been drilling the
chorus, closed the first part of the evenings
performance. 1t brought out solo on the
great organ, the first sounds from the i'm
mense instrument which had been heard dur
ing the evening, and which commanded close
attention. The last portion of the evenings
entertainment consisted of Beethoven's
Eroica symphony, composed in reference to
Napoleon Bonaparte, and intended as mu-
steal portrait of the great soldier. This closed
the first evenings programme of the festival,
which already gives evidence of surprising
its predecessors in every respect.
