that the Able has thus far failed to find anything
may Of course only indicate that he has mistaken
the site. The latest project OF this kind 10 that Oh
the Vienna Archaeological Society which has Just
determined TO dredge the scene of the Battle OF
Saamis in hope Of recovering relics Of some OF the
Persian galeys that were sunk in that famous ma

The committee of the Austrian Reiehsrath, APP
pointed to consider the extraordinary measures
adopted by the Government for Vienna and other
places in view of Socialist disturbances, approves
these measures, provided they shall be limited In

doubt if English labOrcrs would toll for any wages
for fifteen hours day, as the Auvergnats do; and
are quite sure they would kill somebody if forced TO
work fourteen hours in sitting dens as the silk throw
sters of North Italy are" 1t would not be hard to
find evidence that plenty of Englishmen, and
what is more Englishwomen, still work fourteen
to sixteen hours day, and some of this evidence
The Spectator must have had before it only few
weeks since. And less than twenty years ago there

TONS aud the testimony then taken showed that it
was the rule not the exception TO exact long hours
from the working classes.

The Cairo Government treasures the people of
Suakim By stating that England has promised to
protect that place, and that therefore, il is now
quit safe. This may be So hut absolute safety de-
ponds upon something more tangible than promises.
