indications lock out or strike of both win
dow glass and hollow ware blowers will take
place next month. Work is at present sus-
pended in all the factories for the summer,
but resumption should take place early in
September. The manufacturers, however,
insist upon reduction Of wages, in somo in
stances MS high as 25 per cent, and the work
men assert that they will strike sooner than
submit to any reduction. The glass workers
here are seeding from tho Knights of Labor

If the American republic is not in danger
it is not because of any lack Of claimants to
royal decent among its citizens, says the Pail
Mall Budget. According to an Insignificant
looking book, which is being secretly circu-
lated among the upper classes of New York,
the decondants Of kings literally swarm in the
Empire City. However republican may be
the spirit of the New Workers in the abstract,
many of them take intense interest in ascer-
tanning whether they belong to the "Ameri-
cans of Royal Descent" whose genealogy is
given in volume with that title privately
published by Mr.. Browning, himself de-
cendant of William the Conquerer The
little volume, which is constructed somewhat
on the plan of railway guide, possesses an
air of reality and truthfulness, although its
revelations are of a most startling character.
Satisfactory as it may be to know that one
decends from portly Dutchman who "loved
gold in special" there is a yet higher salts
faction-nay, glory-in the thought that the
goodness of a King Alfred, and the magma
nimity of Charlemagne, have all something
to do with tho qualities of the Van Cortlandts,
the Rutherfurds, the Lawrences of the presen
time. Van Cortlandts, as Mr.. Browning has
discovered, is corruption for McCortandts,
and as only TWO generations a Miss Barclay
| marrying u MT. van lOrClauutS Drought tne
| royal blood OF James and Robert Bruce in
to the family ali the Van Cortlandts of New
York are linoal descendants of the hero of
Bannockburn. The family Of Rutherfurd,
after some indecsion as to whether they
were turds" or " fords," happily adopted the
u, which non-en titles them to regard them
selves as descendants of Charlemagne to say
nothing of Scotch kings, English lords and
| French dukes whose glittering splendor
adorns the family tree of the otherwise pro-
sale Rutherfurd. The Lawrences are shown
to have decended from Alfred the Great, the
Clarksons claim descent from St. Louis, the
Hydes from Edward III. The Lloyds trace
their pedigree back to the husband of Lady
| Godiva, and the Lansons come in straight
! line from Queen Eleanor. There are so
many "king's children" in New York chat
if the royal races should die out in the effete
old world there will be no difficulty in sup
plying the deficient yield of kings as of
breadstufls by importation from across the
| Atlantic.

NEW YoRK, Aug. 20.-Shortly after 2

unknown was knocked down by four men in

they fled. He pursued them and fired two
shots after them. In short time they sep

heard the shots, pursued one couple, and also

was taken to the hospital, and was found to

he accidentally shot himself while drawing
his revolver to fire at the policemen. His

A Negress in Germany.

A letter from Paris to the Philadelphia
Telegraph, about Booths visit TO Ger
many, says: "Some comical incidents
arose during his tour out of the pres
ence of his daughters colored maid
Betty, whose black skin filled the aver
age German mind with wonder and
amaze. Sometimes they set her down
as a Zulu, and were surprised to learn
that she was a harmless American. MI.
Booth's courier was several times asked,
on arriving at a new hotel, as to what
this strange creature was to be fed upon.
One day when she was out walking
with Miss Booth, a kindly looking Ger
man, who had been staring at the pair
for some time, evidently came to the
conclusion that Betty was some kind of
a large tame monkey, for ho darted into
a fruiterer's shop and came out with .
quantity of fine plums, which he pressed
into her hands. On another occasion
Betty was going through the corridor
of a hotel, when she met an elderly
gentleman, who stopped her with an
authoritative gesture. He then carefully
applied the tip of one lingerie her cheek
and ave the skin a vigorous rub, at
terward looking at his fingers and shak-
ing his head in bewilderment on finding
that the color did not come off,"

W~hitewasling Trees.

As we ride through the country we
occasionally see orchards that the trunks
and larger limbs of the trees have been
covered with a thick covering of white
wash, but this practice is being grad
ually abandoned. The more intelligent
the farmer becomes the better he I'M
derstands that the growth of vegetation
is retarded and its health injured by
any covering which shall in any degree
prevent q free circulation of air. While
it may be sometimes advisable to wash
the trunks and larger limbs of trees for
the removal of insects, the work should
be OF a character to leave q clean sur
face. Whenever the surface is covered
with any substance that remains on the
tree it does more or less injury, because
it is not natural to have the air shut out
from the bark of the tree. We never
pass an orchard that has been well white
washed without feeling that the owner
has made a mistake, if he has any idea
that he has either improved the appear
ance or the condition Of his trees. AS
to appearance, it does not improve it to
the eye Of an experienced orchardist any
more than it would improve the appear
ance of a drove Of hogs to the eye of a
stock-grower by whitewashing them;
and as to making the trees grow better
it is a mistake. But it is claimed thati it
kills many insects; no doubt it may
some, yet the number of insects on the
trunk of a tree in the spring is not
large; the few that are on the tree can
be killed much easier by washing with
strong soap suds, which if washed off
Immediately with clean water, will do
no harm. In washing young trees with
soap suds, unless it is washed off, it
may sometimes be SO strong as to
change the color of the bark. When
potash is used instead of soap there is
always danger of getting it too strong
unless at once washed off with water.
Whatever wash is to be used that is
strong enough to kill insects should be
washed off at once with water about
the same temperature as is the atmos-
phere.
The idea chat the trunk and the larger
limbs of a tree should be covered with
anything which in the least interferes
with the free circulation of air should
be abandoned. The orchardist who has
to resort to this practice to keep the in
sects off has much yet to learn.-Massa-
chusetts Roughnna1.
