81 am Gen. LOgan's Daughter. !"

Mrs. Paymaster Tucker, nee Logan,
was in the members gallery one day,
viewing the Senate proceedings, while
directly in front of her sat two ladies,
one evidently Washingtonian and the
other a stranger. The native was tax
ing unusual pains to make herself agree
able, and as Mrs. Tucker was about to
sit down said to her friend:
"There, you see that large man sit

"Well that is Gen. Logan, of Illinois.
1t isn't generally known, but he is half
Indian.
At this point Mrs. Tucker could con-

Excuse me, madam, but you are mis-

We will begin with the howling mon
keys, which are the largest found in
America, and are celebrated for the loud
voice of the males. Often in the great
forests of the Amazon or Orinoco, q
tremendous noise is heard in the night
or early morning, as if great assem-
blage of wild beasts were all roaring
and screaming together. The noise may
be heard for miles, and 1t is louder and
more piercing than that of any other
animal, yet it is all produced by sim
gle male bowler sitting on the branches
OF lofty tree. They are enabled to
make this extraordinary noise by means
OF an organ that is possessed by no
other animal. The lower jaw is unusu-
ally deep, and this makes room for q
hollow bony vessel about the size of a
large walnut, situated under the root of
the tongue, and having an opening into
the windpipe by which the animal can
force air into it. This increases The
power OF its voice, acting something
like the hollow case of violin, and pro-
ducing those marvellous rolling and re-
verberating sounds which caused the
celebrated traveller, Waterton, to declare
that they were such as might have had
their origin in the Internal regions.
The howlers are large and stout bodied
monkeys with bearded faces, and very
strong and powerful grasping tails. They
inhabit the widest forests; they are
very shy, and are seldom taken captive,
though they are less active than many
other American mokeys. Popular Sci-
euce MOnthLV.

No Strikes i'm the South.

It is fact, not without interest, that
strikes do not occur in the cotton mills,
coal mines and iron works of the South
ern States. They are a chronic disease
ia the factory towns of the North, where
they frequently last for months, infiict-
ing loss upon both strikers and en-
ployers. At Fall River, Lowell and
Lawrence, the female operatives take
part in these movements and support
them with as much vigor and determin-
alton as the men. 1t will be said that
manufacturing is a large and important
business in the North, employing many
thousand men and women, while in the
South it is feeble and incipient interest
without the sharp and precise organiza-
ton it possesses in the North. This is
true, and, perhaps, it is partial expla-
nation of the absence of strike troubles
In the South, hat it is probable that the
existence of more kindly relations be-
tween employers and employed in the
South has something TO do with it. A
New Englander writing in the atlantic
Monthly on the subject of the man.
ufacturing in the South, while claiming
certain advantages for the business in
the Northern communities, is forced to
admit certain contentment among
factory operatives in Georgia and
South Carolina which does not
exist in Massachusetts. The South
ern operatives, male and female, are of
better class; they are more kindly
treated, have better morals and are bet
ter fed than those of New England. The
immortality and recklessness to be found
in the Massachusetts, factory towns do
not prevail among the operatives OF
Georgia and South Carolina. "The
women and girls are modest and fem
mime in looks and bearing" he says, and
persons of vicious habits are not EN-.
ployed in the mills. They live in larger
and better houses there is no crowding
in tenement buildings; each family has
house to itsel', and this house. fire.
quently has vegetable garden attached,
and In many cases COW is part of the
family outfit. In short, all the sur
roundings of the operatives family in
the South are superior to those of his
brother in Massachusetts he is not
segregated in a special class, but is re-
spectacle member of the general COM
munity, and shares its interests. The
contentment which this better condition
brings prevents the sharp antagonisms
between capital and labor which are con-
tinually breaking out in the more COM
pick society of the North, and is one Of
the explanations of the absence of
strikes in the industrial establishments
of the Southern States. ST. Louis

II q resident of Illinois were TO ask
me to describe pauperism and poor-re-
lief In England and Wales, its extent
and cost, would say to him, picture to
yourself q country In area only ], 000,-
600 acres larger than your own State,
but containing apopulation eight timesas
large; this population distributed un-
equally, 10 per cent. of it to be found in
one city, and nearly $4,000, 600 Tor half
the population of England alone living
in London and the four great nanufact-
uring counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire.
Staffordshire and W.arwickshire where
212 persons reside in cities and towns to
every 100 residing in the rural districts.
or two to one where frequently 1,OO0,-
600 of the population are put down in
the blue books as paupers. Instead of
this territory being divided into 1O2
counties as Illinois is, the inquirer must
imagine it parceled out into CAT unions.
which vary in area from 60 to 100 square
miles. In each of these unions may be
found work-house, varying in its a.
commodations from st. Pancras, which
accommodates nearly 1000, and Liver
pool 5000, and Birmingham 1900, to
those In such unions as Rothbury and
Dulverton, which each have a capacity
of about fifty pauper-power. 1t
would be as difficult to give
correct notion of the style and
size of these buildings as to
picture the variegated surface of the
globe. Some are said to be lofty, some
low, but all are massive. Some Qor in
stance, the one at Birmingham or that
at LiverpooD might be called an elegant
retreat, while others would look beside
it like group of wheelbarrows round
the Lord Mayors coach-lost in the
splendor of the gilded spectacle. To
add up the aggregate capacities of those
warehouses makes one believe that they
were expected 20 contain half the popu-
lation of the country. But as a matter
of fact 0he large towns exceptetD they
do not contain in many cases half, in
some not quarter of the inmates for
which they were built, so that the waste
in keeping up large, untitled establish
ments, each with an expensive staff Of
officers, is very great indeed. To COM
plete our picture, We must add an army
of nearly 1000 paid officials constantly
engaged In one branch or another of the
poor-law administration, and whose ag-
gregate salaries and rations came last
year to over IS, 600, 600, while the total
maintenance of indoor paupers was only
about SO, $50, 900. The total annual cost
of pauperism and outdoor relief in Great
Britain and ireland Is, in round figures,
nearly $50, 900, 000.-Robert u. Porter,

A VIGOROUS LETTER To JAY HUBBEL

VIGOROUS LETTER TO JAY HUBBELL.
Hon. Jag 4. HubbeH, Chairman and
Treasurer, etc.:-
Sir: | have received your letter of
the 22d inst, in which you comment
upon the circular of the civil service
reform association advising certain
employees of the government that they
may render themselves liable to legal
penalties should they yield to a requi-
sition to pay a specified part of their
salaries into the treasury of your com
mittee. Upon this suggestion you re-
mark: ''The law is misstated in your
circular, and the alarm you seek to
create is without justification in the
law. Your counsel, to whom you
vaguely allude, either misunderstands
or perverts it." This is, however
merely your opinion, and to differ with
your view of the construction of a stat
ute, while awaiting an authoritative
Interpretation, does not seem to me to
prove either the incapacity or the
knavery which You discourteOusly at
| tribute to a gentleman of high prOfes-
siOnal character.
If. however, your letter had contain
ed only the proposition to unite will
the civil-service reform association il
procuring a prompt and authoritative
decision of the legal question involved
| should have nothing to add to the re-
| spOnse which was Immediately ad-
dressed to you by Messrs. Wheeler
and Whitridge, the counsel of the as,
sOciation, informing you that we hav,
already called the attention of the at.
torneyg general to what we mold to be
violations of the law, and that we shal
willingly join with you in making {
case for the courts.
In your letter yOu permit yourself tC
say, 81 invite you to this mode of set
tlement as both more manly and NOR,
honorable than your attempt to con
fuse the action and alarm the minds o
the employees alluded to-" This is al
allegation that it is not quite manly o
honorable to apprise employees of tn,
government, who otherwise would
probably not know it, that if they TAX
a certain course they render themselve
liable to fine and dismissal, and tha
such a notice is an attempt to alarm
and confuse them. 1t seems to me
