party proposed to place ticket in the
field. On last SATURDAY. night a conyen-
ton was held at Workmen's hall and
the work completed The convention
was, an enthusiastic one and nominated
a good ticket. including Butler electors,
for our two congressional districts,
Butler and West we're indorsed and the
convention pledged itself TO do all in its
power to forward theirtinterests. u
There formerly were two unions in the
carriage-making trade here, the carriage
trimmers and the, arriage-makers, the
latter embracing alb branches except
carriage-trimming. Z About month ago
the Carriage Makers union disbanded,
some of Its members believing they could
get along without organization. Last
Saturday, the bosses in one large aestab-
lishment. aware of, the disruption of
their union, made q demand for reduc-.
ton of from 10 to IL per cent. Those
who were In favor of maintaining their
union quit work, and those who believed
iniindependent action will continue to
work at hard labor for bare existence.
The eyes of the latter may be opened to
the benefits Of organization when they
are nearly worn out, physically 5and
mentally. stss x ,s,s
No new developments in either the
molding or cigarmaking trades, but the
former are greatly encouraged in conse-
'quence of the news of the surrender Of
the stove manufacturers of ST. Louis,
some believing that it will not be long
iuntilithe bosses of this city follow suit.
The cigarmakers, with their usual energy,
continue to give entertainments, the pro-
ceeds of which are used in securing the
necessaries Of life for the union portion
of the craft. ! s3t4i'i aii z
The new scale of prices, 45 cents per

was anticipated. All members Of this

of q stacking up, but the same cannot be
said Of the English speaking typos, sorry
to say. ;3';l ~
The board of trade Of this city has ap-
pointed committee on arbitration, with
view to making an effort To adjust the
difficulties existing in the molding and
cigarmaking trades. This body, three
years ago, made an effort to settle s diff :
Guilty in the carpenters trade, but failed,

Mcmentos OF Columbus.

In Genoa, in place erected by tho
Durazzo family, one may see a statue
of Columbus, who was born at Cogo-
leto, in 1447. The monument erected
on July IA, 1862, the anniversary of
the great r.vigator's return, stands on
o pedestal, adorned with ships prows.
At the feet of the statue, which rests
on an anchor, kneels the figure OF
America. The monument. whic!, is
wholly of white marble, is surrounded
by allegorical figures in a sit. ng
posture, representing Religion, Ge-
ography, Force, and Wisdom !:e-
tween these are reliefs of scenes from
the history Of the great discoverer,
with the Inscription of dedication. Cp-
posite the monument. one sees the pal
ace of Columbus, with tho inscription,
~Cristotore Colombo Genouesc scoFye

the harbor of the town (Ccnoa) con-
tains statues of many celebrities, among
them o small one Of Columbus.

Life-The Tenacity Of Women.

1t appears from the gathered statis-
tics of the world that women have
greater tenacity of life than men. De-
spite the intellectual and physical
strength of the latter, the softer sex en-
dures longest, and will bear pain to
which strong man succumbs. Zymo-
tic diseases are more fatal to males, and
more male children die than female.
Deverga asserts that the proportion
dying suddenly is about 100 women to
$50 men; 1880 men in the United
States committed suicide to 2S5 women.
Intemperance, apoplexy, gout, hydro
cephalus, affections of the heart or
liver, scrofula, paralysis, are far more
fatal to males than females. Pulmona-
ry consumption, on the other hand, is
more deadly to the latter.
Females in cities are more prone to
consumption than in the country. All
old countries, not disturbed by emigra-
ton, have majority of females in the
population. In royal families statistics
show more daughters than sons. Tho
Hebrew women are especially long
lived; the colored man exceptionally
short-lived. The married state is ia
vorable to prolongation of life among
women. DR.. Hough remarks that there
are from 2 to 6 per cent more males
born than females, yet there is more
than 6 per cent. excess of females in
the living population. From which
statistics we conclude that all women
who can possibly obtain one of these
rapidly departing men ought to marry,
and that. as men are likely to become
SO very scarce, they cannot be sufficient
ly priced by. the other sex.-Modern

CURIOs1TIEs OF NATURE.

The Jumping Gall, the Acrobatic Bean, and
Seeds that Explode.
Here is curiosity" said botanist.
It was little ball of wood or fiber that
when held in the palm seemed endowed
with life, rolling over and over and fly
ing into the air.
~I've had people come to me with
these" continued the speaker, "and say
they were bewitched. One man be-
ieved he had discovered spontaneous
generation another wrote an exhaustive
paper which he tried to read at all the
learned societies, showing that here was
the beginning of both animal and plant
life. In fact, the little gall, for that is
what it is, has attracted good deal of
attention"
$50 it is only plant" said a re-
porter.
Not exactly q plant, but the un-
natural growth Of vegetable matter on
trees, bushes, or shrubs, caused by the
secretion in the bark of an insect egg
that matches and causes the growth. In
this case, you see, the gall is little
larger than mustard seed.
"The gall is produced in this way:
The eggs of very small dark-colored
insect, known a. cynips, are deposited
in the leaf, and, from some secretion
introduced into the wound, the vege-
table matter entombs the insect in o
ball of fiber separate from the leaf,
from which it finally drops. The larva's
movements in restraint create the Curl
Ous activity.
"There are many kinds of gals, and
though they are injurious to trees they
are invaluable to man, and are staple
commodities. The ordinary oak gals
OF commerce are made by q cynips.
When they are green, blue, or black,
the insect is in them, but when white
it has escaped. England is the center
of the trade. and receives gals from
Germany, Turkey, Egypt, China, and
Bombay. The gals are used for o
variety of purposes. One sort of blast
ing powder is made of powdered gals
and chloratc, but the most valuable
product is ink. This is made from them
almost entirely.
Seeds often Jump about in the same
mysterious way. In Mexico strangers
see o curious seed known as devils
bean, or jumping seed. In appearance
it is small triangular body. The first
time 1 saw these seeds was sure that
they were arranged with mechanical
springs, as they not only rolled about,
but jumped several inches in the air.
But open one of the seeds and the mys-
terry is explained The shell is followed
out, containing nothing but white
larva, that has eaten out nearly oil the
interior and lined it with silk. Its
motions occasion the strange move
ments.
"Some seeds move by an entirely diff
ferent process-that Of exploding. A
friend of mine got some seeds in India
once, and placed them on his cabin
table. All at once came an explosion
like that of q revolver, and he received
. blow on the forehead that drew blood,
while o looking glass opposite was
shattered. The seeds had become heat
ed, and all at once the covering ex-
ploded, scattering the seeds in all
directions. That is their manner of
dispersal, and large number of plants
have o similar method of SCATTERING
their seed" d."-Nelc York Sun.

Floral Clicks.

We read that at the opening of each
hour, by night and by day, somewhere,
band of "feathered quiristers" breaks
into happy song; from branch or roof
tree. skimming the waves, or stirring
the stiffness of forest depths, the sweet
arousing strain awakens silvery echoes.
And so it is with flowers; each plant
has its appointed season of awakening
to a new day. And beautifully has one
of our own poets given the story of this
joyous greeting time:
