CAUSES AND RESULTS.

Thus ended the great railway
strike of 1877 in Pennsylvsnis, which
resulted in violence, murder, anC
arson; which caused the deaths OF
over fifty civilians and five soldiers
and the wounding and manning of q
hundred or more, and the destruction
of millions of dollars worth of proper
ty. While it is true that the work
ingmen, who began it, contemplated
no such terrible results, it can not be
denied that the manner in which
they proceeded to enforce their de-
mands, by stopping inland commerce
and seizing the property of corpora.
tions and individuals and driving
citizens from their usual occupations,
in defiance of law, made the breach
through which the lawless elements
of society poured to plunder and des-
troy. BY thus incCnsiderately invit.
ing the cooperation of the criminal
classes, labor did itself great and
grievous injury, and it will be long
before it can remove the suspicion
and distrus, with which the people
will view its strikes and organiza-
tions. Into the merits of the contest,
it is not necessary to 60; whatever be
the rights of labor, the duty of the
Executive is imperative. In the
Message of 1876, were set forth the
principles which govern the present
administration in the discharge of
this onerons duty, to which recent
events have given additional empha-
sis: "No disobedience of regularity
constituted authority will be permit
ted, whether on the part of individu-
ais, corporations, or combinations of
MN. No sense of wrong, however
grievous. will or shall justify violence
in seeking indemnity therefor The
rights of property must be respected,
and no interference with its legiti-
mate use will be tolerated. Every
man must be allowed to sell his own
labor at bis own price, and his work
ing must not be interrupted, either
by force or intimidation. For griev.
ances. fsncied or real, redress must
be sought in the manner the law
provides. and no one must attempt to
override its process. If citizens will
recognize these principles as binding
upon their consciences and actions,
there can be no necessity for Execu-
tive interference to preserve the
peace. and it must be understood,
once for all, that any violation Of
private rights, or resistance to public
officers when in the discharge Of their
duty, will be summarily dealt with,
and if the civil authorities and the
power of the county cannot main
tain the supremacy Of the law. then
the whole power of the Common
wealth shall be employed, If neeessa-
~, to compel respect for suthority."'

A BODY OF BONE.

New York, May l3.-J. II. Eberle,
of Buffalo, now at the Astor House,
New York, said to n reporter that
Johnathan r. Bass, Cambria, Niagria
county, has not Il joint in his body.
He went to bed in 1857 and has never
been out of it since. He can't move
n finger. lie ran as captain of a ca
nal boat between Buffalo and Roches-
ter in 1850. He was getting stiff
then and could not do any work. He
had to quit canaling, and then he
went to bookkeeping. His joints
kept getting sitter and sitter. Doctor
could not do him any good and at
last had to give it up, and for twenty
yanrs he had been q bed at a farm
homestead OF his family between
LCckport and Lewiston. This trouble
commencedi in forty. A pain shot
through the bottom Of his right foot
that tumbled him to the ground. The
foot commenced to swell and got to
be almost twice it's satural size. Stiff
ness in the joints followed and now
Bass is literally a bone man. There
is no more bend to his arms, legs and
body, than there is to a marble statute.
His arms are as fast to his sides as if
they were nailed there. For eight
years after he went to bed he could
move his arms, but the joints finally
became solid bone. They have to
feed him with a spoon. His laws are
as immovable as his other joints.
There is u space between his teeth
that Is just wide enough to get Wet
uals through. In 1860 he became
blind. His mind is sound. He speaks
with difficulty.

THE YANKEE

The steamer-schooner Coon, her
snowy cloud of canvas contrasting
with the dark cloud form her tunnels,
was cleaving the water like a thing Of
life at the rate of fifteen knots an
hour. The crew, consisting of some
fifty desperadoes of all nationallties,
had cleared the deck for action. Her
guns had been crammed to the muz-
zle with shot and shell. Every man
of her picked crew carried a rifle in
his hand and a revolver and cutlas in
his belt.
.sMy lads" cried Capt. Scudder,
pointing to a ship under English col
ors in the distance, "do you see that
darned Britisher? There floats your
fortune! You've sailed and steamed
a couple of thousand miles, you We
left the august shadow of that glori-
GUS bird of freedom, the American
eagle, but there's your reward. It's
= tarnation fat prize, and darn me if
we can't chaw her up in the twinkling
of a h~andspike."
This eloquent speech was cheered
to the echo, and part of the crew went
below to sit upon the safety-vaive of
the engine.
The Coon flashed through the waves
with redoubled speed, and soon was
alongside the unfortunate Britisher.
l'Now, my lads!" cried Capt.

My friend submitted; but Just
previous to the gas being administer

dentist, thinking he was going to be
