New YORK, April 8, 1882.
EDITOR CHIEF:
While the churches and theatres are
crowded, while our Legislators at the
Capitol are fighting over the bones and
husks with an eye to the probable
chances of the next Gubernatorial elec-
ton, while the sharps Oh change are
bawling themselves hoarse on stocks,
and balls and routes are the order Of the
night, while marriage bells are ringing,
and brides and bridegrooms are being
married and given i'll marriage, the
ground trembles beneath cur feet with
the upheaving of a social volcano, the
final workings Of which no man living
can foretell. We have had new de-
parture, and, if we continue as we have
begun, it would be quite as safe and as
pleasant to live in Tipperary or Come
mara as in the cities of New York and
Brooklyn.
There is corporation doing business
here under the title of the Glen Cove
Manufacturing Co., which is one of tile
largest manufacturers of starch in the
world. They employ several hundred
people, and around their works a beauti-
full village has grown up, many OF the
working people owning their own cot
tages. A week OF so ago a portion of the
operatives determined on strike, and
left their work. The strife between the
employers and the employed became
quite animated, and at last a series Of
charges were formulated, and published
in the New York World, the accuser of
the firm sheltering his name behind the
title of Grand Statistician and lot of
stars, and pronouncing, as a penalty,
that the firm be boycotted throughout
the United States; that no man or
woman deal with any store where any OF
their goods are sold. In short, chat they
be treated as public enemies, ostracised
as pariahs and moral lepers, and all
because they saw fit to manage their
business after their own way, and
refused to let anybody else manage thei1
business for them. This pronunciamento
comes from no less person than the
Grand Statistieian Of the Knights OF
Labor, whoever he may be. 1t is pleasant

this free land, and Introduce a system
which, to-day, is making one of the
fairest islands of the sea worse than the
wilds of Patagonia or the Kingdom O.
Dahony. If fboycotting can be introduced
here by the Grand Statistician Of the

An Editors Opinion.

An editorial friend of ours, who has
grown enthusiastic over a certain remedy
which has cured him of dyspepsia, general
debility and nervousness, writes an editorial
as follows: g We believe that Browns
Iron Bitters are destined to be the medicine
of the world. They give real health and
strength to every part of the body, restore
every lost OF impaired organic function, and
give new life and new vigor to every
physical and mental faculty. Every man
aud woman in ill-health should rejoice that
a real cure lies in Browns Iron Bitters,

no surprises-nething like the sudden
changes which occurred when stocks
dropped twenty points, few months
ago, and all the lame ducks kept CRYING

Governor Colquett of Georgia is one OF
Brooklyn's most honored guests, for he
| occasionally finds time to pay the City
of Churches /: visit, and, when he does,
he is quite a lion in society, and a
general favorite with everybody. He
was here a short time since, and, at a
temperance meeting held at DIR. Tai
mage's Tabernacle, made q rousing
speech in favor Of cold water. A few
days after his departure, gentlemanly-
looking individual called upon his List,
who, by the way, was wealthy man.
He told him that he was OH his way
home to Georgia, where he had very
large plantation; that he had come on
to arrange for the sale of his cotton crop,
and expected to meet his brother; that
he was little short Of cash to get home !;
would the gentleman cash his check for
$500. Of course, the gentleman was only
too happy to oDlige Gov. Colquett's
brother, so he gave him the cash, and
received in return all invitation to visit
his plantat tion in Georgia. The check he
has still, but there few slight draw
backs: firstly, Gov. Colquett had no
brother here; and secondly, the nice
gentleman had no funds in the bank on
which he gave the check; aud thirdly,
there was no such bank as that named
in his check; and fourthly, the nice
gentleman was fraud and cheat, who
turns out to be no less person than
franklin ]. Moses, once the Governor of
South Carolina, who left his country fof
his country's good, and who, for several
years past, under one alias and another,
has heen swindling the good people Of
New York. 1t was only by the leniency
Of those whom he has defrauded that he
is not now in States Prison; and this
last adventure promises to land hin
there for some time to come.
Moving day is near at hand. The
busy note Of preparation for that abomi-
nation of desolation is heard on every
hand broken chairs, dislocated tables,
fractured looking glasses, are now the
probabilities not much pray ing, but a
good deal of swearing, for which, in the
language of the Episcopal litany,

sinners" Truly yours,

MAD RIVER.

Mr. Longfellow's last contribution to the ATTAIN
Is "Mad River in the White Mountains a dialog
between a traveller and the mountain stream.

A little child, that all alone

For the wide world l painted;
Out Of the forest dark and dread
Across the open fields fed,
Like one pursued and haunted.

My voice exultant blending
With thunder from the passing cloud,
The wind, the forest bent and bowed,
The rush of rain descending.

Imploring and entreating;
Drawn onward. DER this rocky wall
/ plunged, and the loud waterfall
Made answer to the greeting.
And now, beset with many ills,
A toilsome life follow;
Compelled to carry from the hills
These logs to the impatient mills
Below there in the hollow.
Yet something ever cheers and charms
The rudeness of my 1abors;
Daily water with these arms
The cattle of hundred farms,
And have the birds for neighbors.
Men call me Mad, and we'll they may,
When, full Of rage and trouble.

And sweep their wooden bridge away,
Like withered reeds or stubble.
Now go and write thy little rhyme,
As Of thine own creating.
Thou seest the day is past its prime;

The mills are tired of waiting.

The way n swede secs 1t.

Pervading all classes of the Swedish
people and controlling them in their
plans and ideas is that strong vein of
practical common sense which insures
a conservatism of conduct and action
that proves of singular benefit to them
in their daily dealings with men. If
n knows of a good thing they are all
sure to know of it sooner or later.
These were u impressions while perus-
ing a few lines from Mr.. B. Q. Sand
berg, of Ogden, Weber county, Utah,
wherein he says: l have used st. Jacobs
Oil and L wish to tell my countrymen
that it is the very best remedy 1 have
ever tried for rheumatism.-It is with
pleasure that we also present the name
Of a well-known citizen who can speak
intelligently concerning the Great Ger
man remedy: Everybody living on the
South side knows Mr.. j. D. l.. Harvey,
a gentleman who has been a resident of
Chicago for twenty years. His estab-
lishment. 1.-THE Palace Market Nos.
1O4, 1O6 and los Twenty-second street,
is probably the finest of its kind in the
city, and numbers among its customers
most of the aristocratic families of that
section of Chicago. Mr.. Harvey ex-
pressed himself on the Toll subject'' as
follows: Il have spent over s 1900 to
cure my wife of rheumatism. Two
bottles Of ct. Jacobs Oil accomplished
what all the medical treatment failed to
bring about. 1 regard it as a greater
discovery than electricity. 1t is a boon
to the human race, and 1 am very glad
to have this opportunity of testifying
to his remarkable efficacy. 1 cannot
speak too highly Of it, and I would be
recreant to my duty to those afflicted
did 1 not lift my voice in its praise"

The following ancedote is vouched
for by Mr.. Webster: When he had
finished his speech u southern member
approached him cordially and said
"Mr. Webster, l think you had better
die new and rest your fame on that
speecl."
Mr.. Hayne was standing neal and
heard the remark, and said: "You
ought not TO die. A man who can make
such a speech ought never to die. "
Webster and Hayne met at the presi-
dents reception that same evening, and
as they shook hands Mr.. Webster asked
pleasantly, "How are you tonight"
None the better for you, sir" was the
generals humorous reply.
