Vi all evils prevalent among Young
men, we know CT none more blishtinp in
It's moral effects than to speak ii. htlv of
the virtues OF women. Nor is there anyc
thing in which young men are so thor
oughly mistaken as the low estimate
they form as TO the integrity of woman.
Not OF their own mothers and sisters. but
OF others, who they forget, are some body
elses mothers and sisters As rule. no
person who surrenders to this debasi1p
habit is to be trusted with an enterprise
requiring integrity OF character. Plain
words should be spoken On this point, for
the evil is general one, and deep-rooted.
II young men are sometimes thrown into
the society of thoughtless or depraved
women, they have no more. right to
measure all other women by what they
see of these, than they have to estimate
the character of honest and respectable
citizens by the developments of crime in
our police courts. Let our young men
remember that their chief happiness in
life depends upon their utter faith in
women. No worldly wisdom. no misan-
thropic philosophy, no generalization, can
cover Or weaken truth. It stands like
the record ofitse,f- fer it is nothing less
than is-and should put :.a,-ar I'll N-:--5

LaborTroub BILE Anticipated.

A Wilkesbarre letter in the Tribune,
gives the conversation of a gentleman en-
gagged in a manufacturing business in one of
the northern counties of Pennsylvania. He
says the chances are we shall have much more
serious trouble within the next two months
than that which came upon US SO unexpect-
edly last summer. Preparations are being
made for simultaneous strike all over the
country, on railroads, at the mines, in many
of the largest manufacturing establishments
and nothing but the utmost vigilance on the
part of the State authorities and such pre-.
parations as will make it possible to crush
out such movement instantly, will prevent
one of the worst calamities that has ever be-
fallen the country. The 18th of August is the
time fixed for the outbreak.

reports that the commission is reaching sat-

the members to yield their special views for
the sake of agreeing upon a bill. The vifsws
OF members are given with great deliberation.
A spirit Of compromise seems to prevail

stated that their deliberations are wholly If

recovered his property but did not desire to
put the rascals in jail, SO he told them that if
they would whip each other he would not
prosecute them. This they agreed to do. They
were taken out, stripped to the waist, and
provided with stout hickory switches. One
was tied to tree and the others laid on his
back Justify with the switches until Mr.. Jen-
