A REPORTER Of the Pittsburgh Conn
Hlercidl- Gd-Stte has been interviewing
the manufacturers OF glass in that city
"a to the State of the trade. Mr.. AT
TERBURG, of the well known firm of AT
rRRBURG < Gro, is of the opinion that,
in all departments, "the prospects are
very bright, particularly as regards the
western trade. Jobbers in the western
cities base their calculations for re-
vival, both as regards the demand and
prices, upon the large crops, and they
say that they will do a larger business
and handle more goods this fall
than at any time since the
panic. Az regards the Southern
trade, Of course the prevalence Of
yellow fever will have a material effect.
The demand for fruit jars from the West
so far, however, has not been up to ex-
pectatiOns; this can be accounted for by
the lack Of fruit in the Western fruit
raising States, owing to repeated frosts.
In the East there is a decided change
for the better, and orders are daily ar
irving for large shipments of jars, and
many manufactures find it difficult to
fill their orders in good time"

JUDGE VAN BRUNr of New York has
an interesting case before him, involv-
ing the right Of trustees OF cemeteries,
controlled by the Catholic Church, to
refuse sepulture to those who, in life,
were connected with the Masonic order.
Nr. DExNIs COOPERs, chief engineer Of
the Hoboken fire department, and q
Mason, was sccidently killed, and would
have been buried in the family lot at
Calvary cemetery, but for an unexPect-
ed circumstance. The funeral cOrtege
had entered the cemetery, and was abou.
10 proceed 10 the grave, when the super
intendent Of the grounds gave Orderthat
the body could not be buried there.
Temporary deposit in the receiving
vault was, however, permitted, and an
appeal taken TO the courts to test the
rights Of the parties in dispute, The
reason for the refusal OF the superin-
tendent is found in the rule OF the Cath
Ollie church, that nc Protestant or mem
Der OF the Masonic orlercan be buried
in consecrated ground. The trustees OF
the cemetery propose to offer strenuous
opposition to any violation Of this estab-
Ished regulation of the church.

Ifanythingmore were needed to show
the superior cheapness OF the neces-
saries of life in America over Great Bri-
tain, it would be found in the following
figures, which we obtain from the same
source, showing the amount OF pro-
visions which this country has, in sin
gle yeal, supplied to England: Wheat,
S5O.OOO,OOO; Indian corn, $43,0OO,OOO;
bacon and hams, S34, 5000; cheese,
slO,SOO,OOO; flour, SS,SOO,OOO; lard,
81, SOO,OOO; pork, sailed, 100000; but
ter, S2,S7O,OOO; fresh beef, 100000;
refined sugar, Sl,65O,OOO; peas. $780,
600; canned and preserved meats,
81, 10000; fruits, raw, 81 ,2i3,OOO; mo-
lasses, S653,OOO; coffee, $4,000; oats,
S343,OOO; barley, $4,000 total food
supply OF over Sill, 100000.
Articles which to an American are
considered necessaries of life are COM
paratively unknown among similar
classes in Europe. Meat is a luxury
rather than an ordinary article OF diet.
TIE low rate of wages and the high rates
of living make it necessary for the Euro
pean laborer to content himself upon
lean and scanty fare.
But we agree with the Journal in say
ing that, We do not, of course, consider
the degraded and unhappy conditions
Of European labor any precedent for
this country. We rejoice ut the free
dom and dignity of American working
men, and at the improving influences
now conspiring for their benefit, and
desire for them all the prosperity and
happiness possible. They are at the
very bottom Of the country's industrial,
commercial and general welfare, and
deserve to reap literally whereof they
SOW. But we have heard con-
siderable OF late about the "degra-
dation OF labor" in this coun-
try, and We think it well to know, If we
can, in what that degradation consists.
The general visitation OF "hard times, "
which told severely on all interests and
all peoples, during the past few years,
was specially hard on many OF them, but
the thoughtful and reasonable cannot
but see and feel that the situation has
4 e IL
months, and is constantly improving.
Iithe Socialist agitators, most of whom
are sublimely Indifferent to facts, would
add to their store OF information by a
careful study of such works as this Gov
eminent report, they would command
much more OF the confidence of the pub
lie in their self-assumed positions of
leaders of "labOr reform"

himself, he said: al have been a great

the yellow fever plague in Memphis,

The general improvement OF business
is strikinglv illustrated by the expert
enee Of an agent Of the Albany and
Rensselaer, Iron and Steel Company,
who has been on a prolonged tour In
search of rolling mill hands. His expe-
rience was the same in all the manufac-
turing centres he visited from Georgia
to Maine. He found no idle iron work
ers in this State, could engage but a
small number in Boston and secured
only four men by visit TO Portland,
Me. This company has now 1900 men
in its employ, though short of workmen
in nearly every department, and is
turning out $50 tons OF steel rails daily,
besides a vast amount OF other work,
and yet ordres for work are already on
file Tor year ahead in some branches,
and it has had to decline competing for
some large orders.

Tus Glass Cutters Union, OF Pitts
burgh, held meeting on Saturday for
the purpose of considering the wisdom
of demanding an advance in their wa

mand was complied with. After due
deliberation, it was decided not to
strike. Manufacturers are getting
somewhat better prices than formerly,
but the Union thought conservative
policy would be the wisest, and result
in the most advantageous condition for
the cutters in the end.

HENRY j.. RoGRRs, the telegraph
operator who received the first dispatch
sent over a wire, died in Baltimore last
week. He worked with Professor
MORSE in establishing the original line
from Washington to Baltimore, and
when the line had been completed, in
1874, sat down at his instrument in the
Washington office. Professor MORSE,
being in Baltimore, sent to President
Polk the message:

Mr.. ROGERS. in reply, sent the fol-
lowing:

The general impression has been that
the laboring classes of Europe live more

however, that they live on less in those
