Employment.

The following just sentiment was uttered by Daniel Webster, in q speech in the Senate of the United States. It should be held in ever lasting remembrance:
 "Sir, I say 1t is employment that makes the people happy. Sir. this great truth ought never to be forgot ten; it ought to be placed upon the title page of every book on political economy intended for America, and such countries as America. It ought to be placed in every farmers almanac. It ought to head the col umns Of every farmers magazine and mechanics magazine. It should be proclaimed everywhere, Rotwith- standing what we hear of the use fulness of ahead food--notwithstand- ing that the great truth should be proclaimed everywhere be made into a proverb, if it could-that where is work for the hands and the man, there will be work for their teeth. Where there is employment, there will be bread. And in q country like our own above all others, where with great deal of spirit and acti- vity among the masses, if they can find employment, there is always great willingness for labor. If they can obtain fair compensation for their labor, they will have good houses-good clothlng-good foody and the means of educating their families; and ifthey have good hous- es, and good clothing, and good food, and means of educating their chil- dren from their labor, that labor will be cheerful, and they will be a con- tented and happy people,"

An Arkansas Freak.

A Kansas exchange says the AT. kansas river has been guilty of sev- eral unaccouutable freaks during the past two weeks. On Saturday, a week ago, it suddenly dried up, and remained in that condition for twenty four hours. On Sunday the river hud filled up as suddenly as it had dried. On Wednesday last the water again disappeared. The Larn- ed Chronoscope says that thousands of fish were caught and landlocked in little pools on the bars, and thou sands died from intense heat cngen- dered in their limited quarters. It is difficult to account for such phen. omena. The Arkansas at Larned is 200 or 400 yards wide, and usually it's stream is quite deep.

the World and Herald agree. for an outsider
to know the immensely Of this BUSH
ness, and how much the decent news
papers of the country have to- resist and fight
against In opposing this system. They think.
therefore, that those who refuse the
advances OF these sensationalists de-
serve credit and encouragement therefor.
There is no doubt Of 1t. The Chicago
and Cincinnati papers have been ridicuiing
the Herald and World, of New York, because
the latter failed to give all the particulars OF
Mrs. Spragues former life. 'They were
fogies, behind the age, not up to the news"
they exclaimed. One would have thought
that by emitting the filthy stories told by
some OF these live" journals, their New York
contemporaries failed to do their duty by
their readers and neglected to give them the
news OF the day. 1t ID to be hoped that the
example OF two such Influential journals as
the World and Herald will put an end to this
evil, which threatens to become o disgrace to
the journalism OF the country, to the crimi-
nal belief that q newspaper should be an old
gossip and drag up all the filthy scandals
golng the rounds. These are not news; they
bring no benefit and teach no morals; they
are, on the other hand, dsgracefulto journal
ism, Injurious to the morals Of the country
and fraught with danger to society.

The New York Herald suggests that the au-
thorities of that city use what are known as
Hopper barges In the removal Of the city's
garbage. These are already used at Dublin,
Glasgow and other European cities where 1t
is necessary to convey the filth to any great
distance. The Hopper barges are alr-tight
and are able to stand rather stormy weather.
They can therefore go beyond the outer har-
Dor Of New York and dump the garbage In the
open sea, where there is no possibility of It's
filling up the channel. The manner in which
they are built, air-tight, Is also great adj
vantage, as they can therefore be carried
some distance without filling the atm sphere
with their noxious vapors. The great gar
bage question in New York Is how to get rid OF
this stuff without interfering with or imped-
ing navigation. We are fortunately not
threatened with such fatality, never
theless these barges offer many advantages
over those In use here, and would be worthy
Of an investigation and study, il not trial.
The Heraldo of August 81 contains full particu-
lars concerning them, with diagrams and pic
lures to illustrate their build and working.

Blondes were fashionable few short years
ago, and many cs,lng ladies, whose hair was
of the darker saades, took advantage OF the
occasion and suddenly bloomed into blondes.
1t was a dangerous experiment for them to
try, as fashion is proverbialy tickle. Reports
from Paris declare that the fashions of the
coming winter are intended for brunettes, and
will look very awkward and ugly on blondes.
There is no hope for blondes; 1t is useless for
them to struggle against fate or fashion,
which Is still more arbitrary and autocratic
than fate itself. If there Is any way Of get
ting their hair back to its original color, let
them try it. If not, they will have to hear
with the coming styles as best they can.

New York city has an exodus, an exodus or
from the city prisons on
Blackwelrs Island. There have been so many
escapes from this island lately that the city
authorities have become greatly discouraged
and annoyed thereby. They see no sense In
sending a man to jail when 1t Is certain that
he will be back at work on the streets OF New
York within q week. In the Yorkvile Police
Court last week, Judge Duffy turned noto-
rious criminal loose an escaped convict from
Backwell's Island, on the ground that 1t was
folly to send him back to the island, where he
would certainly escape In q few days. The
judges language has called attention to the
condition OF affairs existing In the city
prisons, and, 1t is said, an investigation will
shortly be made into the matter. The escaped
convict In this case was interviewed by re-
porter, and declared that there was regu-
Iarly organized ring at the island, and that
whoever belonged to it found no difficulty
In getting away whenever he desired to do so.
