That the lion and the lamb sboulC

less the latter. is enshrouded withir
the tawny hide of the former, is re
garded as the height of improbabilty
Something almost as startling is an
nounced in the probable fraterniza
tion of those widely differing doctors
the allopaths and the homepaths
Who first started the idea is not ex
actly known, but it has been assum.
ing more Importance every hour, and
there bids fair to be a. corner in the
olive-branch market.
Talking Of corners, there seems to
be a corner in beef, and indeed most
kinds of provisions. The prices are
awful and mild rebellion has set in
against them: Washington market
on Saturday is one of the sights of
the city, crowded as it usually is with
eager purchasers, but the last two
Saturdays it has have been almost de-
serted. The people seem to have re-
solved to do without meat rather. than
pay the rates asked. There is serious
talk of getting up companies to
slaughter beef in Brazil and Uruguay,
and ship the carcasses here in re-
frigerators. 1t might pay some of our
capitalists who are anxious to invest
their money at five per cent to open
vast pasture farms and give swift en-
ployment to thousands of those i'm
migrants l have been talking about.
There is always more or less waste of
time in getting work for these new
corners, and the seaboard cities some
times suffer from the influx almost
as much as the rest of the country
profits by it, for the least enterpris-
ing, the poorest, the sick, aged and
very young, are detained by their
feeble bodies or purses close to where
they land, produce less and consume
more than those who can strike out
for themselves.
The strikes are of course matters
of great interest, and before capital
lists will put dollar into new farms or
factories, or anything else, they want
to have some reasonable assurance
that they will at least see the dollar
again when they want it, and they'd
like fair interest for the use of it, too.
That's the mischief Of strikes. They
stop work /; money comes by work.
The boiler makers have won victo-
ry in all the shops, except Roach's
and Delmater' er's-that is to say, they
get their ten per cent advance, but
they have been idle for some time,
and have not earned a cent, but made
a hole in their savings, while the en-
ployers have been so exasperated that
if their turn comes they will be dis
posed to show little mercy. The
Delmaters are particularly angry.
They never had strike before.
Many of their men had been with
them thirty years, and they cannot
understand why any outside dictation
should break up relations which have
been so pleasant. They have always
encouraged their men by extra pay to
the most skillful, and promotion
whenever deserved. They say sys-
tenn which compels them to pay just
SO much to each man alike, would
result in dead level of material or
artificial blockheads. Every induce
ment to diligence, faithfulness, and
superior skill would be wanting.
