There is no reason to distrust the ac-
curacy of these figures, made up by
careful, competent men. Nor do we
see why the state of things they repre-
sent should not be substantially repre-
sentative of the current rate of wages
in most of our New England cities and
large towns. Like them, New Haven
is large manufacturing place in pro-
portion to the population, and the pay
of the laboring element is a factor al
ways felt there to be of decided import
ance. The omission of certain years
in the table we presume is due to the
absence of reliable statistics for the
same. One curious circumstance dis
closed in the table is worth the atten-
ton of all laboring men. II 1861, the
war year, the average carpenters pay
Pc" day. Immediately after imitation
began to tell upon the clrrency and
upon all articles of subsistence, so that
most of the latter, involving nearly the
whole cost of mechanics living, was
about double. And vet it was not till
March, 1864, that the daily pay of the
same mechanic rose more than twenty
five cents above his daily pay in March,
1861. That is the inevitable effect of
cheapening Il currency-it initiates
nearly everything else before it does
labor, thus compelling the laborer for
years to pay a toll on all he purchases.
That state of things, although it might
have been mitigated, originated in the
overwhelming necessities of civil war;
but what would be thought of the
sanity of a workingman who should try
to revive it now, when we are so close
upon the condition of normal sound
ness again?
AS to the present figures of the New
Haven table, they would seem to indi-
cate that the workingman is little
better off than he was in 1859. His pay
is a little higher, and the prices of
most living articles are about the same.
Taxes are somewhat higher Probably
greater difference in the cost of sup
porting family-a mechanics or any
body's else-is to be found rather in
the style of living than in the mere cost
of household necessities. We have all
gone ahead in style in the last twenty
years, and it is hard to come down to
just requirements. But in this, too,
the people have made decided progress,
and we shall yet see the equilibrium re-
stored. -BOStOn journal.

Hat Filtration

For the past two years there has
been a pleasant rivalry among literary
people to discover mode of express
ing the thoughts by certain signs and
acts, so as to he read and understood
by parties distant. To this end they
first devised the handkerchief Irritation,
then the fan. and now the glove, each.
in turn. becoming the more popular as
they were invented. Among a certain
class, however. there was still vague,
uncertain sort Of deficiency, a kind of
indescribable sort of lacking that failed
to cover the ground. A few of our
young men had no gloves, and others
bad no fan, and still great numbsr

signed a filtration with the hat, which

In introducing Irritation with the
hat it has been the experience Of many
