Douglas Jerrold's critique.
tExehange.I

Both the movements selected by the
club are descTiptive-The Declaration
and the Mill. In the first of these the
vio!oncello makes love, and the 6rst violin
answers back, while the other instru-
ments lend occasional aid to enrich the
passion of the passages, or ill the air
with the murmur of the LEAKAGE overhead,
and the ripple Of the stream. The
vic!cn cello begins by remarking that
really it is lovely evening, aud there is
rothing more delightful than a stroll at
such time, listening to the voices of
nature. The violin whispers that il is
indeed very pleasant-to hear the birds.
Then the violoncello insinuates that
there are voices which, to his mind, are
sweeter than any birds. The violin upon
this bushes a good deal, and says gently
that no doubt the breeze among the
autumn leaves makes a most melodious
sound. Upon this the violoncello, after
moments pause, barking to the sigh
ing OF the gentle airs and the whispering
of the nils, assents, and laments that
winter must soon strip these melodious
leaves, and with furious blasts torture the
grooming and unhappy boughs, and lash
the stream into turbulent wavelets. AT
this the violin shivers little on the fourth
string, and the violoncello, in a voice
shaken by emotion and Mr. Giese's third
finger, hints that he knows a man whose
life will be as bleak and wintry as the
scene he has described, unless the blue
heavsn of a sweet girls eyes smile always
on him, and the soft melody of her voice
accompany him through life. The violin
hangs its head--or at least it would, only
that Mr.. SchnitEer has it tight by the
neck-and says that no doubt it would be
sad for the gentleman. The violoncello
plucks up its courage bit, and in deep
voice inquiries whether the violin really
feels for fellow under such circum-
stances, and the violin says she would be
devoid of sentiment if she didn't, and
then remarks in a series Of rather STAG
cato jerks, that it's really getting late,
and her mother will be wondering what
has become of her. Then the violoncello
gets hold of her hand, and tells her, v ith
a gush of passion, that he is the chap and
she the maiden he means, and would she
would she have the heart TO make him
wretched for life2 The violin murmurs
something inarticulate, and the cello
pursues bis advantage with almost Sob
bing emotion and earnestness, describing
how he loves as never violoncello loved
before, and how he had waited and
hoped. and all the rest of it, and winds
up almost inarticulately by asking
whether the violin will love him little.
Then that feminine instrument admits
that she will, she does, and the audience
drop their pocket Handkerchief from
their eyes and begin TO clap.

an awkward looking country boy that had
outgrown his jacket and trousers came
up,
Nov. nay boys, for q trial Of your

be Yankee-and here Is q guinea for
whcsoever hits his head.s
Jonashan drew near the trial. When the
6rxt soldier aired and missed. ne slapped
his hands on his thigh and laughed inn
moderately. When the second soldier
6r>d and missed, Jonathan threw his hat
and laughed again.
"Why do you laugh, fellow :" asked
Lord Percy, Grossly.
"To think how safe the Yankees are, IL
you must know." replied jonathan.

"Give him gun, soldier, aud YOU may

Jonathan took the gun. and looking at
every part Of 1t carefully, said !: It won't

like this, but guess It's rather better

Why do you guess 80 ?" asked Percy.
"'Cause know What thasm due, and

"Well, regular It is, then. Nov for

jonathan raised his gun and fred.
"There, guess that ere red coat has
got hole in it !" cried he, turning to the
soldiers.
"Why don't you laugh at me now, as
that ere fellow said you might =
"You awkward rascal, thai was An acci-

Jonathan then fred. and hit the mark.
"Ha! hal hal how father would laugh
to see me shooting at hall gun-shos."
Why, you rascal, you don't think you

"Give him another gun, soldiers, and
place the mark further off,"
Jonathan fred again and hit as before.
"rherel guess that ere regular is as
dead as the pirate that father says the
Judge hanged until he's dead, dead, dead
three times dead. and that's once more
than the scripture speaks on"
There's guinea" said Percy, tossing
the coin to him.

sympathy and good wishes Of all who were
called upon.
At the regular meeting Of the Nailers

The Nail situation.

ARlsT5edB Mdnufdetufer ana LTOa HWtd'
The fifth month of the strike in the nail
mills of the West is drawing to close,
and with it the indications are multiplying
that the end is near at hand By this We
do not mean that there is any present
probability Of the nsilers yielding TO the
demand Of the manufacturers or the man
ufaeturers accepting the scale proposed BY
the nailers, 90 that, technically, the strike
promises to continue far into the future
But the indications are that the employ
ment Of feeders in operating the nail ma
chimes will be o success, as there are al
ready 500 machines 10 operation in the
West, run by some 400 feeders. It is not
the intention to very much increase the
number of feeders Who are learning the
trade, as it is their desire to perfect them
in the business, 90 that they can run as
nailers generally do, from two to four ma
chimes.
The strike, which was at first one tor
rates of wages, has very much changed Its
character with the employment OF the feed
ers, and now the question has, In addition
to the rates of wages, taken on much
broader and more important phase. 1t
has been the claim Of the mailer for years
that the high prices paid them were justi-
fed on the ground that the nailers trade
was one requiring not only special intelli-
uence, but special skill and long training
They have ridiculed the idea that feeders
could be taught within reasonable time
to make good nails, and, in their own opin-
ion, at least. have regarded the msnutac-
turers who have asserted to the contrary as
mild lunstics. The indications are that
the manufacturers have been right, and the
workmen wrong. Il is folly for the work
men to cheat themselves into the belief that
the nails made BY the feeders are not ss good
in most cases as ever were turned out
from the nail mills of the West. The pro-
duction at present is not as great, growing
out of the fact that the nails are more care
fully watched than when the mills were
running regularly, and upon the least up
pearance OF imperfection in the nails the
machine is stopped and adjusted at once.
But the nails are good, and the serious
feature of the whole trouble to the mailer is
that this strike will demonstrate that his
trade is not 40 difficult as has been claimed,
and what is still worse, it will increase the
number of nailers in the country by several
hundred. The nailers refused to permit
the teaching of 8 per cent q year; there
are being taught now four or FIVE hundred
nsilers-more than under the demand OF
the feeders would have been taught In
many years.
