The tabor troubles still continue.
Another reduction in the wages OF
Fall River employees promises to pre-
cipitate another strike in that manu-
featuring center. The strike among
the Monongahela coal miners has as
sumed a new phase in consequence OF
the attempt Of those who are out to in
duce the men in the fourth pool to
Join the striking combination. FIVE
hundred of the striking men are re-
ported to be in the district, laboring
with the men at work to induce them
20 drop their tools and east their lot
with those who are idle. w neither
this attempt to make the strike gen
eral will succeed is somewhat doubt
full, in view of the general depression
in the eAtire bituminous region. There
are so many men forced to be idle for
want of work to do that the places of
the strikers are likely to be easily
filled.

One of our most prominent young
men called to see a young lady friend
a few evenings ago, and being fatlgued
from his days labor, stretched him
self out EN- the sofa as soon as he en-
tered the parlor, and was serenely
resting in the arms of Morpheus when
she walked in. She spoke to him, but
he did not awake. She then, being
at a loss to know what to do, reported
to her mother, who went to the parton,
and after some very loud calling sue
ceeGed in arousing hum from his
slumbers. TIE young mans stay IN
that house was not very prolonged
one that night, aud 1t is safe to say
that he will not be found in the neigh
borhood for some time to come.

PROFESSOR NULpIAN brought before
the uouc of the French Academy of
Medicine ON July % no fewer than $50
modes of treating cholera, submitted
by various aspiring therapeutics.
The motive which induced those gen
uemen to trouble the academy with
their communications was by no
means a disinterested desire to relieve
the sulrerings of humanity; they
were one and all candidates for the
Breant prize. 4 merchant of the
name Of Breaut, or Brehaut, who
lived all his life in continual fear Of
dying of cholera, and who naturally
died of some ommoner disorder
which never 60. him moments ap.
prehenslon, left some years ago the
sum OF $4,000 to be given as prize
to the person who should discover an
infallible remedy for cholera. This
prize is still awaiting claimant It
will nos fall to the lot Of any Of the
present competitors, Is Professor
Vulpian condemned all their systems
and recipes. Warm water, castor oil,
and petroleum were some Of the spCci-
iss recommended.

interesting little statement: In the city
OF Plttsburg there are, say, 800 business
men who receive goods in boxes and
nailed-up packages. In opening these
boxes a certain number of broken and
crooked nails are thrown aside as worth
less, the remainder being saved to nail
up other boxes. Now, it is safe to say
that pound of nails, crooked
and broken, are thrown away
every week by these 500 business men.
That makes 800 pounds week, or in
round numbers 5000 pounds year.
Now, say that fifty times that amount is
destroyed annually in the United
States, and you have, on low estimate,
1,25O,0O0 pounds of nails lost every year,
Now, getting it down little finer, say
that it takes two kegs of nails in every
four-roomed house, and if you figure out
as do you'll find that there are enough
nails lost every twelve months, to build
$3.50 houses, or small city, in fact"
When he had finished this mathemati-
cal problem, Roger laid down his pencil
with sigh, and went out to see if Chief
of Police Braun had returned from Ohio
or the Mayor from Atlantic City Pitts

Wears ago, when party lines were

Principles of the Democratic party, and
II is to-day as much Il Democratic paper
as any in the State. 1t is not the organ of

this means only, that the purity of any

islikcly TO be honest, without being Sc

much good. The Springfield Mass, Re-
