The Strikes.

There are $4,000 men from the iron es-
tablishments of Pittsburg, Chicago and
other cities, now on strike, alleging that
the present price Of labor is not sufficient
to enable them to pay the continued in
creased price of provisions and all the
necessaries of life. These men are men,
bers of Union formed for mutual aid
and protection, and through their Presi-
dent, announced their determination to
strike unless the demand for increased
wages was acceded to. They are we'll or
ganized, having leaders who voice the
sentiments of the crowd, and there are
grounds to suppose others will join
them and embrace the opportunity
to assert their rights. 1t is gloomy
prospect, with the immense number of i'm
migrants that are pouring into this coun-
try at the present time, all of whom must
have bread and work, and causes much
trouble and despair throughout the homes
of the laboring class The manufacturers
claim that the decline in prices is such
they cannot afford to increase the ex.
pense in manufacturing. 1t is estimated
there are at the present time in various
branches of labor one hundred and fifty
thousand men on strike in the United
States for higher wages. The picture OF
one hundred and fifty thousand men ask.
ing of their millionaire employers pay for
their work sufficient to feed and clothe
them and their families, is beautiful and
apt illustration of how the tariff protects
the laboring men.
Charlotte home and Democrat., 1882-06-09

W% The delightful climate of Cali
fornia has it's disadvantages, and among
these one of the most serious is the strong
and chilling winds that blow from the
ocean at some points along the coast
What makes this particularly important
is the fact that the soil is often cultivated
to the very verge Of the beach, where
vegetation, grain, and fruit that would
otherwise flourish luxuriantly, feel the
winds keenly. 1t is now proposed to
remedy this evil by planting dense rows
of hardy trees along the coast to form q
barrier against the winds. That would
also serve the useful end of helping to fix
the shifting sands. 1t is more than likely
that in course of time the coast of Cali
fornia will present the novel spectacle of
unbroken woodland extending along the
very edge of the ocean for hundreds of
miles

The New Siamese Twins.

The brothers Tocci, born in Turin in
1877, are considered to be even more GU
rious than the famous Siamese twins.
They have two well-formed heads, two
pair of arms, and two thoraces with all
internal organs; but at the level of the
sixth rib they coalesce into one body.
They have only one abdomen, one um-
bilious, one anus, one right and one left
leg. Their genital organs consist of a
penis and scrotum, and at the back there
is rudimentary male organ, from which
urine sometimes escapes. 1t is curious
