New YORK, July 81. About two
thousand ~bricklayers, three thousand
laborers and two hundred hod hosting en-
ginecrs and trainers struck work this
morning, because the employers refused
to grant the demands that nine hours shall
constitute a days work instead of ten.
The employers who denied the request
say they can get other men to take the
places, and whether they can or not 1t will
be but a few days when the men will be
willing to return under the old terms.
The bosses who granted nine hours
think the others foolish as they will have
to yield in the end. As fast as the men
struck they reported at the headquarters
of the respective Unions. About thirty
FIVE employers allowed the men to go to
work on their own terms.
Hugh Malone, who has charge
of the erection of the new
Exchange, says the building trade
is very lively. l do not think the
boss builders can afford to have the men
60 on a strike for any length of time with
out suffering great loss. Nearly all large
builders will grant the demand"
The strikers claim they can stand il
longer than their employers an, and will
hold out six months. 1t is reported thai
on many jobs the men were not out oyel
ten minutes before they were told TO go e
work again. A large number OF bose,
held. out till noon, then yielded, thus leay
ing not over 1000 men on n strike.

the Horse Guards were firing in honor of
the birth of the Duchess of Albany's son.

Miller, was called for trial. The action
was brought on account for S154 80,
alleged 10 be due on a sale of rice which
the-plaintiff had with Miller. One of the
points in the defense was that Miller dur
ing his lifetime said that the claim had been
satisfied. The jury returned verdict fer
the defendant.
C. D. Rogers brought an action on a
note given by Lizzie Pridgen for the sum
OF $3.50. The case was concluded yester-

the horse ran into it, and was subsequent

WOOD PAVEMENT.
Its Popularity In London and Paris.

Its Popularity In London and Rarls.
The following interesting letter, relative
to wood pavement, is from Maj. Gen. Rip
ley, formerly of the Confederate States
Army:
CONTINENTAL HOTEL, PARIS, April 80. 1854.
MY DEAR LAwToN-I learn that the Savan-
nah people are taking steps towards paving
their streets with stone blocks. drop you
line to ask you to call attention OF the proper
authorities to the unqualified success which
has attended the system OF wood paving
adopted in London and Paris. The utterfsil-
ure Of wood pavement in America, as FORMER
ly laid, Of course created prejudice, but the
only reason Of failure was that II was not
properly laid. It failed in England and here,
too, until they learned how. In London II has
lasted for over three years without repair, IN
King William street, leading from London
Bridge, and they are putting 1t down every
where. In fact, it is down now from the
bridge out to kensington without Interrupt
ton. In Paris it has also been tried, and sue
cessfully stood the test Of the heaviest traffic
and is down in the Rue MOntmartre, the Rue
RivOli, the Avenue de POpera and the Boule-
wards, the Champs Elysees. ana, In fact, they
are putting 1t down everywhere, ripping up
for it.
It's advantages now that it can be made to
last are obvious, and your people can save
Savannah some money and have coed, dur
able, clean and noiseless pavement instead
of the costly, noisy and dusty stone of long
time ago.
I sail in the Normandic on Saturday for
New York. Shall stop at the New York Hotel.
go over to attend to putting some down IN
New York, and shall be happy to give the
proper Savannah authorities, if l knew who
| they are, all the information possible on the
subject.
don't think that there Is any danger OF
wood pavement properly laid turning out a
failure anywhere. The facts in regard to its
/ use in London and Paris are patent, and every
| visitor can verify them. 1t has been down
for some time in Malta, giving perfect salts
| faction. This shows its adaptation to both
climates, Malta being within the gates Of the
| lower regions.
Don't let Savannah spend her money on
| stone payements.
l shall be very glad to hear from you.
| Yours very truly. X. $. RIPLEY.
| Gen. 4 lea. Ldact0n, SdUdandh.

''When l was boy, and 1 am not a
patriarch by any means, was occasion
ally INDUCED with new suit of clothes.
My debut in this.new apparel was general
~ on a Sunday morning, and yet my JOY
was not always free from alloy.
generally felt on this solemn occasion
that my suit didn't exactly fit, and that
every living soul that saw me kRelc 1t and
remarked it. This, of course, generated
a misery in my young soul that was almost
martyrdom.
1t seems as though things are changed
nowadays; boys look jauntier and nobbier
in their new clothes; men look like so
many tailors' frames, every stitch fitting
as though the wearer had been melted
and poured into his suit. Simon Mitchell
is the pioneer of the clothing reform. He
was the first to give tailor fits at ''ready-
made'' prices, and consequently his
reputation is now widespread and
remunerative. He simply says: "If my
clothing lc0n't fit / lCU make 10 ft, and it
won't cost you a cent" His Spring and
Summer Suits are the rage; his line of
Hats, Hosiery, Neck and Underwear is
unapproachable. 159 Broughton street,
