A Modest Man.

Chinese Gordon, one of tho bravest
of modern soldiers, has an honorable
hatred of publicity, and sensitive
shrinking from laurels and laudations.
An incident recorded in the story OF his
life illustrates these characteristics.
He had sent his journal of the Tapping
war homo from China, mot wishing 1t
to be seen outside his family A min
lister interested in the rebellion heard
of the manuscript, and was SO struck
by its contents that he sent 1t to the
press in order that his colleagues might
have the benefit of reading it. Late
one evening it so happened that Cor
don inquired about his journal. He
was told what had occurred. He arose
from tho table, left the house, and
posted of to tho minister's residence.
Not finding him at home, he went to
the printers, demanded his manuscript
and gave orders that what copies had
been printed should be destroyed and
the type broken up. What eventually
befell the manuscript is unknown, but
1t is certain that no one has seen it; in
fact, there is every probability Of its
having been destroyed. "-Cincinnati

For Sale.

A citizen in the western part OF the
city who has house for sale, says that
he has learned more of human nat ure
in the last three months than in all his
life before. Nine. people out of ten who
come to look at his 800 house have
not $40 to buy with. The same proper
ton are deliberate liars. Nineteen out
of twenty want every room changed
about. Ten out of twelve 60 all through
the house and then object to the street.
Not one single woman out of the scores
who have called at the house had any
other idea than to satisfy a temper ary
curiosity. One woman had every room
measured to see if her carpets would lI
and then suddenly discovered that the
house was whole block from the street
cars. Another sat for two hours and
planned how she would fix every room
and then left in a huff because there
was not q Methodist church on the next
corner. A third was about to leave
5000 to bind the bargain until next day
when it suddenly occurred to her that
her sister out in Pontiac might not like
the location. Out of sixty or seventy
men who called every one liked the To-
cation, thought the property cheap, and
would return next day. The citizen fl
nally got tired Of such conduct anu
now when any one calls he asks:
"Do you want to look at the house OF
the furniturep"
"Oh, the house, of course"
"Well, this house stands on the north
side of the street. 1t is on block IA, lot

Of To-day.
Evolution or Revolution.

Evolution or Revolution.
SKILLED AND UNsKILLED LABOR.
If there is one thing more than an
other which disgusts the sincere social
reformer, it is an aristocracy of labor.
Caste or class or distinctions of honor or
respectability among the useful workers
of society is not only an absurdity but
downright fraud and dishonesty.
The tinker and the tailor and the
butcher and the baker, and the hod-car-
rier and the scavenger all unite in de-
spising and abolishing aristocratic dis
tinctions among the wealthy loafers
they have not much respect for the diff
ference between the Hon. Jack Ketch,
the Rt. Hon. Jack Fleecem, his Excel
lency Jack Skinem, the Prince of Poodle
dom, the Duke of Flunkeydom, the Mar
quis of Tweedledum, and the Squire OF
Tweedledee !; to the honest, independent
and intelligent laborer they are all a lot
of idiots and knaves, that ought to be
smothered in the same cesspool. So far
80 good. Now, friends be consistent.
Why should the matchmaker and the
ieweler look down on the blacksmith
and the blacksmith on the hod-carrier,
and the 6hod-carrier on the sand
shoveler, and the sand-shov eller on
the rag-picker2 Just as though
unskilled labor was not as useful and
necessary in its place as skilled. The
yearly production in the United States,
derived from agriculture, was set down
in 1880, at 81 500 OOO, 900, and from manu-.
factures $5,O0O,0O0, 900. Nearly all the
agricultural production was performed
by unski1led labor, and also a very large
proportion of the manufactures. If the
farm-laborer, the hod-carrier and the
rag-picker are equally useful, why should
there be any distinction ofhonor, respec-
liability or reward? This talk about
shilled and unskilled labor is great
swindle.
The man who is skilled in the chica-
merry of the produce market or at the
mechanics bench, is unskilled with the
shovel, the pick and the work at the
transportation dock. The man who
shoyels on the railroad does as useful
work as the engineer who runs a locomo-
tive over it or the thief who operates the
road to rob the public. If there is to be
any distinction of honors and remunera-
ton, let the man who does the most la
borious and useful labor have the first
distinction and highest reward.
