The New York Times prints three

The New York Times prints three
columns of comparative labor Stats
tics for this country and Europe, and
says in every case it will be found that
the American lahorer is paid better,
and can maintain himself and family
at less cost than the European worA-
man in any similar branch OF industry;
but it is interesting to compare the
condition of different nationalitieS In
the matter of material prosperity. COM
fort and contentment, the English
workman seems to have the best OPP
portunities for lettering himself, but
strikes and tipping are fatal draw
backs to this advancement. In France
and Belgium, in spite of low wages and
scanty means of sustenance, the labor
ing people are thrifty and contented.
In Germany the condition of the work
ing classes is most deplorable; destitu-
ton and despair appear to stare them
in the face. Compared with the con-
dition of other people, that of the
American laboring men would seem to
indicate discomfort as one of our ma.
tional traits.

During the month of June, a party
OF Chilcat Indians arrived at Wrangel,
bringing with them an old Indian of
an interior tribe, who had never seen
the sea coast or white men before
1t has been the custom of the Chill
cats to exclude the natives of the In
terror from the coast, and serve as
middle men between them and the
whites, but for some reason they al
lowed this one old chief to take a
peep at civilization. On his arrival
at Wrangel, he could not understand
what prvented his hand from passing
through pane Of glass, and did not
know how to open a door. The

robbed the unsophiscated stranger of

The San Diego, Cal. He,mld of, a re-
cent date tells of the following feat
performed there by a young lady
named Miss Lawrence, three weeks
ago: "Last Tuesday band of wild
cattle were being driven through the
streets, when one of them singled ont
a child at play and started for it. The
vaquero, who was drunk, tumbled
from his horse as he attempted to turn
the furious beast. At this moment
Miss Lawrence came along, and tax
ing in the situation at glance, sprang
into the vacant saddle, ran down the
wild steer, threw her shawl over its
head Just as it was about to gore the
child, and taking advantage Of the con-
fusion of the beast, rode up to the
child and lifted 1t into her lap, and
then carried it off in safety. This was
not only genuine act of heroism, but
an exhibition of horsemanship, such as
few persons, il any in this region,
could equal"

the time being, as the boats were followed down
the shore for q mile or 50 and the firing kept up.
few days later, the dredgers were attacked
again and driven from the grounds wheTf they
were at work From what we hear, there seems
to be a settled determination on the part Of the
tongsmen to break up the illicit dredging within
the hays, and whilst we are opposed to lawiess-
