THE STRIKE or THE LONDON MAsoNs The
great strike of the LoLdon stone masons,
which has practically ended in the defeat of
the strikers, after contest of half years
duration. which is said to have cost the union
come $50 OC0, will always rack among the
most memorable of suCh demon STATIONS. 1t
broke cut towards the close of last summer,
the workmen demanding 10d. an hour instead
of 81. The employers brought men by hum
dreds from Scotland, the Continent, America
even, while the Central Committee shipped
them back or paid them foil wages to quit
work. Six hundred and fifty men were kept
on strike-pay, 81 80 q week, with % cents
week extra for a wife or child. AS the employ
ere OF 1400 men had been unable to hold ont
and had conceded the advance, the local man
agerR had O large fund to draw upon, and the
amount of money drawn, the method of its ex-
peniitdTe and tue result, ali form az interest
ing chapter in the economies of strikes. There
were 191 strikes in Great Britain last year, of
which very few were successful. Tie joiners
of Carlisle stood ont twenty-six weeks and
then counted themselves we'll satisfied with q
promise of an extra hsltpenny an hour three
months after date. They were fortunate in
deed in comparison with other strikers who
had at last 10 resume work at lowered wages,
or the Bolton spinners OF Clyde ship builders,
who, after experdipg hundreds of thousands
of dollars found themselves as they WERE y

that keeps coD plete statistics of the growth of
the foreign ele ement within it's borders-thsnks
to DR.. Snow. And the figures from year to year
tell an interesting tale, with on inevitable
moral. We lerrn from a report just published
that the total number of births for 1876 was
$500. Of those the children of American pa
rentage were 535 of foreign rarentsge 2S73 !;
of American father aud foreign mother, 354 {;
Of foreign father and American mother, 5l7.
The perceutsge Of children OF pure foreign
pArentHge was nenTly as large as at any
previous date The proportion of nj xed parent
age is constantly increasing, and tue proper:
ton of children with n foreign father and
American mother is constantly much greater
than tho proportion of those with an American
father aud foreign mother. The proportion
of children Of American parentaGe is less
thau the proportion of the living population,
aud the proportion of children of foreign
parentaGe ls greater than that of the livir &
population of the same pareLtRGe. Ii this
ratio continue for few years, the I" foreign
element can, if it please to be un-Ameri can and
| contemptible, turn the tables on the native
minority, aud disfrauohise them. But ven,
ture to say that they will not-they will have
4 larger heads aud hearts.-IiestOH Pitot.
