From financial point of view the perform
ances in the various theatres yesterday in be-
half Of the Actors Fund unfortunately seem to
have been partial failures-moTe's the pity
Whenever there is call for charity for suffer
ers from food. fire. OF other disaster the actors
are the first to be asked to offer their services
to help raise money; and when they in turn ask
the public to aid in their worthy scheme OF
benevolence, there ought to be sener-
Gus response. But the public is not in
clined to take extra trouble without eXtraOr-
binary inducements. The performances yeSter-
day were excellent but so many attractive plays
have been offered this winter that these did not
have the great charm of novelty necessary to
draw large audiences.

The Hungarian miners in Pennsylvania have in
Cured the dislike of somo of their neghbOrs, who
COMPLAIN that they dirty and work too cheaply.
1t is probable that the first complaint would never
have been made except for the groundwork OF the
second, but the organizing of mobs to remedy mat
ters of this kind is sorry reasoning Experience
also shows that cheap labor in this country never
lasts long Newcomers may accept low wages ior Il
time but even the Chinese soon discover that they
can obtain the current rates and cease to work for
less 1t would no doubt be much easier to persuade
the Hungarans to demand higher wages than to
drive them out by mob violence.
The coming slavery which Mr. Herbert Spencer
foresbadowed in a recent article has already come.
short time ago a Philadelphia firm found that it
would be necessary 10 reduce either the number or
the wages OF its employees. The facts Of the case
were fully and fairly stated to the men, who at
decided to accept reduction ia wages rather than
have any of their number discharged and in this
amiCable way the matter was supposed to be
settled But at this juncture outside organization
stepped in, and declared that the workinguen who
members OF the society had neither the right nor
the 'power to negotiate rates OF wages with their
| employers" and they ordered the men to quit
work. and the poor slaves. to the number Of six
hundred and ffty-nine felt II their duty TO obey
their masters. 1t is Not creditable to the good
sense of The workingmsn that they should thus
allow themselves to be led by the by unprinci
pied demagogucs and petty tyrants, who have not,
the real interests Of workingmen att heart. The
brutal tyranny Of trades unions is to-day one of
the great dangers whcl menace the cause Of labor.
Aud this tyranny has been fostered and encouraged
by the w0rkingmen themselves.
1t is apparent that somebody in Mexico IS in
venting facts with Yankee energy and perseverance.
The reports concerning the condition of the sister
republic are not explicable on any other theory. In
fact the only parallel to the mass of contradictions
being furnished in regard to President Gonzales Is
the mass of contradictions which has become
chronic concerning Mr. Tilden. The difficulty of
getting at the truth about contemporary events like
these, however, should incline us to charity when
We lind ncongruitics and confusion in histories of
the past.

was the crowded condition of this prison that
gave a show of reason to the law authorizing
the transfer of offenders to Ludlow Street Jail,
where they cost the city just twice what they
did when kept in the Tombs. The manage
ment Of this prison is necessarily more open
than that of Ludlow Street Jail, and abuses are
therefore less likely to creep into it. For this
reason it is particularly desirable to keep as
many offenders as possible in the Tombs
Moreover, as the law allowing the transfer OF
prisoners to Ludlow Street Jail is likely to be
soon repealed, more cells at the City Prison were
absolutely necessary as we'll as expedient.

a CHILD FLAYED ALlvE.-"You want to
sleep like white folks, do you ?" said John
Barnes, stalwart, able bodied negro OF
Spartanburg, S. c., a few mornings ago, as he
snatched his sick little nephew out of bed
carried him in his arms to post outside, to
which he tied him with stout rope coiled
around his knees, waist and neck. Having

he always kept for purposes of castigation,
and began to apply them, cutting at every
blow and eScaining with oaths:
You doesn't want to get up, doesn't you !?

cane done come"
The boy cried with pain under repeated
cuts of the withes, until at last exhausted
nature refused TO give expression. Think
ny this a favorable time to eXtort promises
Of future early rising from the boy, Barnes
puts the question to him, but the only an
swcr he received was drop of the head as
the boy sighed deeply.
"Iou won't, won't you ~ shouted the Ell.
ragged man, taking the action of the boy as
a negative. "Oh, you lazy little rascal
You won't get out of work even if dis is free
dom daysi" and faster and faster the blows
fell, cutting into the flesh and making reg
ular layers, which, as n cross blow would
sever Que end, streamed out like ribbons of
blood. Barnes, maddcned up into frenzy,
seemed TO take delight in the falling blows,
and. as fresh string Of flesh was haycd out
would shout, Xxi, vi how. de pieces do

At last the boys neck Strengthened up, his eyes
rolled and his head fell upon his breast with
feeble sigh, and the brute's arm was descending
with another blow when it was caught up by a
negro woman who had stood by him begging him
to stay his bloody work.
'Sec dar. you've dun killed your poor sisters

The wretch turned and ran.
Other women came OH the scene about this time
and the first one called to them:

were lost in others previously made. Flesh hung
out in strings and the body felt like q handful Of

RAISING CHURCH FUNDs.-A novel meth.
Oh of raising funds for church purposes was
adopted few nights since in the eastern
portion Of the city. 1t was sort of calico
party, arranged after the following manner:
Each of the bellies was to wear new calico
apron, and to make gentleman's crayat
out OF piece cut from it. These were put
in envelopes and sealed, and as the beaux
paid their fare at the door one of these en-
velopes was handed to him. At given hour
these were opened, and the holder of each
cravut had to hunt up the wearer of the
apron of similar pattern, and treat her from
a table of refreshments in the ante-room.
The result was so great success that the
management intend to repeat it at all early
date.-Richmond Dispatch.

their votes. Nor has any other Malone

GOVERNOR MCLEAN, of Maryland, has
advised the Legislature of his State to sell
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. If that
advice be adopted, the railroads of which
the canal is a competitor would buy it for a
song, and abandon it, and the site Of the
free bridge across the Potomac would be a
matter of no consequence. IL is hardly
probable, however, that the Governors adj
vice will be taken-yet awhile at least.
