the Mu hansen Industrial Fund.

The Industrial Society, interesting it
self in considering the too generally sad
condition of the wage-worker when the
season of his activity had passed, saw
that it can hardly be expected that dur
ing his working season he could make,
without assistance, adequate provision
for his old age, since the amount he could
possibly save from his wages was made
quate, and, besides, the wage-worker has
seldom the opportunity to become an
expert in the technicalities of investment.
As result of their investigations, in 1851
an association, which now consists of nine
firms, was formed to meet the difficulty.
Their rules are as follows; The work
men from the age of sixteen are given
the opportunity to deposit three per cent.
of their wages with the State Treasury
and at the same time the employers, for
the purpose of encouraging this saving,
and to increase the amount deposited,
agree to contribute also three per cent. OF
the wages paid the workers of both sexes
in their employ who have reached the
age of eighteen and sixteen. Two
thirds of this last sum are to be added
to that deposit by the workmen, the other
third being used as fund for paying the
expenses of the accounts, to be dis
tributed for the assistance of aged or in
firm employees, and finally for increasing
the pensions, which were too small to
support their recipients. To further the
objects of this association, from funds
collected by subscription, n large
building has been erected to serve as an
asylum for aged and invalid workmen,
and it now shelters 256 such-men and
women. The funds thus raised, invested
and on hand to invest, amount to very
nearly 200, 900 francs, and the manufac-
turers have reduced their contributions
to one per cent. upon the amount OF
wages paid by them. The principle has,
however, been SO thoroughly introduced
into the industry of Alsace that it is al
most rule without exception, that the
large industrial enterprises of that coun.
try consider it a duty they owe to thei,
operatives to provide for and to assist
them by some such plap. In some oases
where the fund investelfis large enough
| the pensions are paid without requiring
| the operatives to ocontinue their contribu.
ton, thus enabling them to make imme.
diate use of all their wages.

Born Lucky.

adopted mother is particularly adopted
to him, and indulges him in all his de-
sires. She is anxious for him to love
literature, and is building magnificent
library for him. During her last visit to
New York she bought $1,000 worth OF
rare books from one reporter. She buys
knowingly too. The house she has Just

corks from thirty bottles of porter and

Classical Musicale.

The musical entertainment on Friday even

envy in this city, is worthy of more than a
passing notice. Under the direction of Miss
Gardiner, teacher of music at the school, her
pupils, with the assistance of Mr.. Calnum,
rendered the following programme in a man
ner that would do credit to mature talent 1t
is particularly observable that Miss Gardiner
leaves the impress of her own genius upon
her pupils, and in both instrumental and
vocal numbers the perfection of time, tone
and touch was strikingly apparent. Misses
Drew and White, in both duet and song
were received with much favor, and were
several times complimented with an encore
Misses Nickerson, Gray. Illsley, Soule, Bas-
ford and White rendered their several piano
duets and solos with artistic promptness and
skill Mr.. Calnnm, in his clarionet solo,
demonstrated his mastery control of that in
strument, and was enthusiastically encored.
He then favored the audience with "The
Mocking Bird greatly to the pleasure of
all. Miss Gardeners accompanments were
of course perfect. The Classical Orchestra
performed several selections with much
credit. We give the programme as follows :

Almost "A Tragedy.
Mr.. Lewis =. Henderson of this city. was
found on Friday evening last, in the cellar of
the engine house, on the corner of Winthrop
and Water streets, in bloody and alarming
ly exhausted condition. Mr.. Ebcn llovev
went into the engine house ut about five
O'Clock on Friday afternoon, and observing
marks of blood in considerable quantities
about the walls and floor, proceeded to inves-
tigate the cause. lie found blood near the
foot of the stairs leading to the hall on the
premises He also observed that the scuttle
leading to the cellar was open, and on pro-
ceeding down the steps he found Mr.. llender-
son helpless and unconscious upon the floor
of the cellar, where he had probably remain
ed during the day, and perhaps part of the
previous night. 1t is supposed that he fell
down the stairs leading from the hall, cutting
is head badly, and after remaining for some
time, bleeding profusely. he proceeded to the
cellar, where he was found as above stated.
1t was a mere accident that Mr.. lIovey en-
tered the engine house that evening; and
there can be no doubt that his discovery of
the condition of Mr.. Henderson saved him
from an untimely and distressing death; as
he probably could not have survived another
night in his weak and chilled condition. A
physician was Immediately summoned and
the unfortunate man properly cared for. We
learn that there is a fair prospect of his re-
covery, and we trust this severe experience
may not pass unheedcd.
