CRUELTY To BABrEs.-There are sew
eral ioims in civilized society. The one
to which We now refer Is practiced daily
by mothers and nurses, in exposing the
eyes of their children to the dazzling
hight of the sun. The child riding in its
little carriage is Often made to face the
sun, uuslladed and unprotected, just as
long AS suits the convenience of its at
tendant. The little one must suffer de-
gree Of discomfort and pain which its
mother could not bear moment. II II
very little baby, carried in the nurses
arms, it i. made to lie on its tack, its
face upturned, the direct rays of the SUI
piercing its eyes. Through the instinct
of self preservation the baby hands
would come to the protection Of the
baby eyes; but they are bound down 10y
the cloaks and blankets, and the help
less one must suffer until the nurse hap
pens 10 change its position. None can
tell the amount of Injury done to the
delicate organ OF sight by such thought
less cruelty.

The Labor Market in England.

Mr.. Adam Badeau, United States Con.
sul-General ut London, in u dispatch,
dated the 10Th OF November, refers t.,
the annual report of the Consul ut Man
chester, and invites particular attention
to his remarks on the influx Of workmen
from the United States to various points
to Manchester, masons to London or Glas-
gov, or miners to Derbyshire, in conse-
quence Of q notion spreading among
American mechanics that the labor mar.
ket on the other side of the Atlantic is
better than in the United States. Many
are thus induced to emigrate, confiden,
of procuring speedy and reuumerative
employment, and the result is that, I'M
less the mechanic has previously obtained
u contract ensuing him employment, he
finds himself without either money or
work. His condition rapidly becoTe>'
worse, and he is obliged to part with his
clothing in order to obtain food and lodg
ing, until finally he appears at the near
est United States Consulate, half starved,
aud with hardly sufficient raiment TO
cover his nakedsess, begging 10 he sen,
back to the United States, and surprised
and indignant when informed that no
funds are in the Cunsul's hands for such
II purpose. Whatever may be the claims
of the applicant for relief, there can be
no doubt that, if given, it will afford only
temporary consolation, rs there is IN ut
ter improbabiiity of the stranger obtain
ing any kind of employment. The Con-
sui General urges the Importance OF
bringing before American mechanics the
improviience of their course in seeking
work from strangers, and at distance
from home, without having positive as
surance that they will be successful, and
especially t" warn such persons that the
Consular officers of the United States are
not authorized to grant them any relief
whatever.-Ne National Republican,
