Upon a lion raging yet with ire

The Nem@an forest, till the Amphtrionide

Behind his back scythe, and by his side
Under belt he bore a sickle circling wide.

The newly organized Trades and Labor
Assembly held meeting yesterday at Tur-
ner Hail.
Delegates from the X. O. S. G. and the
Iron Moulders Union No. 8, reported with
their credentials, after which a preamble
and set of resolutions, declaring the object
of the Union, were adopted.
These set forth that the Union shall en-
deavor to influence the lawmaking power
to secure the following objects:
The regula ion of the employment of
children; securing the adoption OF proper
laws regulating the hours constituting a
days labor; reforms in prison labor, so as
to prevent the product of the convict COM
ing into competition with honest industry.
They also adopted resolutions giving the
moral support of the Assembly to the strik-
ing printers and shoemakers in Chicago.
The following resolutions in regard TO
the Huston contract were also adopted:
Resolved, that we condemn the contract
with Mr. Huston because he has openly
declared he preferred to use free labor to
convict labor on the ground that by insti-
tutng the truck, or store-order system,
he would be able to make larger profit
| than in the other case.
Resolved, That we declare it unlawful
for the Trustees of the Southern Railroad
to award a contract to any contractor who
openly declares his intention Of violating
one of the laws of Ohio.n

THE Convention of Saturday was
without exception the worst managed
one that has been held in Hamilton
County for the last ten years, and this is
putting it pretty strong. The Committee
that took the Convention to the Bellevue
House by swindle and then grossly
mismanaged it in every particular, can
not be too strongly censured. Not man
who had anything to do with the Com
mittee that pretended to4manage that
Convention should again be intrusted
with any duty that requires particle of
executive ability. If the new Execu-
tive Committee selects Ed. Nealus as
Chairman, after the experience of the
past, it will be an invitation for any man
who has any regard for decency and
good order to vote against the ticket,
There are some things which the party
will not stand, and one of them is to have
a set like Neaus and his associates turn
the party convention into bowling
mob.

THE State of Connecticut was the pio-
neer in the free school system of the
United States AS long ago as 1910 the
"Wooden Nutmeg" State had provided
for large fund in support of her public
schools from the proceeds of sales of lands
granted to the State by the General Gov
ernment. For years the school fund was
in excess of the legitimate demand made
upon it. Of late years, what with high
schools and Improvements in buildings,
&C., the expenses have been quite up to
the income, as large as it is. The school
population of 1877 was 137,099. The
income for the year was 81, 500, ,218, or
$40 10 a head. The expenses of the
schools for the same time were ST. SIC, ,222.
The number of teachers continuously
employed were ,904. The average wages
paid per month were: For male teachers,
S64 55; for female teachers, S36 20.
This discrimination in the matter of
wages against the female sex is both
unjust and injudicious. In all the pri.
mary departments of public schools, the
most important of all, by the way, the
latter are peculiarly qualified to work
efficiently,

In the summer of 1642, when Bismarck
was twenty eight years of age, and was
cavalry officer, lie was standing Que after
noon with some of his companions on
bridge, wh~n his groom led his horse into
the water to drink Suddenly the horse
lost footing, fell and the groom disap-
peared. Bismarck Immediately threw
away his sword, tore off his uniform, and
sprnng into the river to save his servant
He caught lin, but the frightened man
clung to him with such grip that lie had
to 20 to the bottom before he could get
loose. Eventually lie saved the groom.
For this gallant deed Bismarck received the
well known Prussian ReRunysmedailIe that
one still sees between so many stars and
orders on his breast. He is very proud of
tLs mark of honor, and once, when q
distinguished man asked, with some sar-
casm the meaning of the simple decora-
ton, which, at the time, was the only
one he had, he answered quickly, II am
in the habit of saving peoples lives some
times!"

Together we walked In the evening time,
Above US the sky spread golden and clear,
And he bent his head and looked in my eyes,
As II he held me OF all most dear.
ohl it WAS sweet in The evening timei
And our pathway went through the fields Of
wheat;
Narrow that path, and rough the way,
But he was near, and the birds sang true,
And the stars came out Ia the twilight gray.
OH 1t was sweet In the evening umei
Softly he spoke of the days long past
Softly of blessed days to be;
Close to his arm, and closer prest-
The corn-tied palh was Ellen to me.
Oh it was sweet In the evening tlmei
Grayer the light grew, and grayer STILL
The rocks fitted home through the purple
shade,
The nightingales sang where the thorns stood
high,
As walked with him the woodland glade.
Oh it was sweet in the evening tllnel
And the latest CLEANS of daylight died;
My hand in his enfolded lay;
We swept the dew from tho wheat as we rassed,
For narrower, narrower, wound the way.
Ohl it was sweet in the evening time!
He looked In the depths of my eyes, and said,
"Sorrow and gladness will come for us sweet;
But together Wen walk through the fields of
life
Close as we walked through the fields OF
wheat"
