A few nights ago several friends of different
political faith met, and noisy free trader in the
party sprung politics. One of the Republicans
remarked: ut is no use for us to talk politics.

tor in Congress, dying while senator. Suppose
that WHEN the broke out instead of
taking part in it he had visited large and small
towns in that State and made speeches, denounc-
ing jeff Davis traitor to the South; that he
deserved to be hung; had called upon the people
to 90 to Montgomery. and with switches whip
the traitor and tyrant, also the confederate Con
gress out of Montgomery. Suppose he had SAID
he would not himself engage in the unholy war;
would not urge any one else to go, and had writ
ten and indorsed the passing of resolutions
declaring the war on the Union unholy, uncon-

BRAZIL, Oct pa crowd, estimated at about
1,5OO people, assembled here to-day to hear the
joint discussion between Hon. James T. John
ston and Hon. John E. Lamb candidates for
Congress. No demonstration made on either
side, and the crowd was. perhaps about equally
divided betweea. the Republicans and Democrats,
In point of abiiity the two speakers appear to
be about equally matched, but Mr.. Johnston,
having the better of the argument, easily ex-
posed the position and record of his antagonist
in a ridiculous light. and got the better of the
discussion. Those Democrats who expected Mr.
Lamb to slaughter Johnston came away in a
state of grievous disappointment, feeling that
the contest had resulted to the detriment Of

Experience of a Glass-Worker in Belgium.
Pittsburg Evening Chi onicle,
MIR. VIM. Bonshire, a well-known pressed
glass worker living on the South Side, who went
to Belgium about six weeks ago to take charge
of glass factory there, returned home this
morning thoroughly disgusted with that country.
The gentleman relates an interesting story of the
condition and treatment of workingmen there.
He was engaged to manage a factory, but to his
surprise, when he reached the works. was in
formed that he would have to work twelve hours
per day and Sunday until noon. The workmen,
he states. were also compelled to submit to other
arbitrary measures enforced by their employers.
The lowest paid men received fifty cents a day,
yet the retail price of boiling meat was eighteen
cents per pound The mods used were old
fashioned, and a boy was required to carry the
heavy mold about thirty feet and then upset it
each time an article pressed The other
machinery was also behind the age. 1t is need
less to state that Mr. Bonshre did not like his
position and he Immediately resigned and sailed
for home on the next steamer. He says that
from his observation the American workingman
is better paid and better treated than in any
other country in the world.
