The amount Of labor seeking employment
in agriculture at the present time is unusually
large, yet there are many localities in almost
every section of the country in which there is
more or less complaint Of scarcity. A major
ty of the reports received, however, indicate
exceptional abundance of labor in the
rural districts rather than the opposite
condition. Among tho causes assigned the
most important is the curtailment of opera
tons in manufacturing, mining, iron work
ing, railroad building, numbering and other
industries, the low price Of produce and in
some localities,a failure Of the crops, by which
the ability of farmers to employ labor has
been diminished coincidentally, with an in
crease in the amount Of labor Offering
AS regards colored labor in the South the
reports are in many cases, favorable, not
withstanding the complaints as to the unwil
lingness of colored men to work. their dispo-
occasional jobs, and other faults enumerated
by many correspondents Some correspond
ents testify to increased industry ON the part
of the colored people, but attribute it to hard
times and a more urgent necessity for indus
try as the alternative to starvation.
The report closes with the practical sugges-
ton that in the manufacturing towns and
cities Offices he opened either by the labor un-
ions or by benevolent citizens, through which
communication may he opened between UNI
employed city workmen and farmers needing
help, 50 that reputable and worthy city la
borer may have the means OF making known
his true character, instead OF starting out on
foot at a venture, subject to the risk of being
mistaken for a professional tramp.

WAGES OF FARM LABOR.
Interesting Statistics from the Agri.
cultural DepnrtmcMt.

The monthly statistical publication of the
agricultural department for May contains a
comprehensive statement of wages paid to
farm laborers in all parts Of the country,
based upon what Mr.. Dodge, the statisti-
clan of the department, believes to
be entirely trustworthy data. 1t was
found in 1866 that the average for
white labor was SIS per month without
board aud Slj.5 30 with board An accepted
estimate of thirty years before made 80 per
month"; with board, the average cost of farm
labor In 1869 the rate for labor paid fully
in cash was So. Is, a reduction having oc-
CURED IN the West, some decline in the East,
while in the South an advance had resulted
from increasing efficiency in labor and
rising confidence in its reliability. In
1873 further decline had occurred,
the reduction i'll six years being from So. %
to So. So in the East, from $500 to 26,O in

The following statement shows by sections
the cash rates where board is not furnished,

recovery in 1882, with the changes indicated

at has been sung at festivals,
On ember ewes and holy tales"

As at these festivals ale seems to have
been the predominant liquor,it is
highly probable that from this circum-
stance the term took its origin. On such
an occasion, for instance, it was the
business of the church wardens to have
specially brewed a considerable quantity
of strong ale, which was sold to the Wis
itors; practice which, it is recorded,
led to 'great pecuniary advantage, for
the rich thought it was meritorious
duty, beside paying for their ale, to
offer largely to the church fund" Hence,
it was no uncommon thing in some par
ishes to have several of these ales in the
course of the year, and sometimes one
or more parishes would gree to hold an
nually certain number of them. As
an illustration of this usage, we may
quote the following curious stipulation,
preserved in the Bodlean library: "The
parishioners of Elvaston and Okebrook,
in Derbyshire, agree jointly to brew four
ales botwixt this Che time Of the con-
tract and the feast of st. John Baptist
next coming; and that every inhabitant
of the said town of Okebrook shall be at
the several ales; and every husband and
his wife shall pay two pence, and every
cottager one penny and all the inhabi-
tants of Evalston shall have and receive
all the profits and advantages coming OF
the said ales, to the use and behoof Of
the said church of Elvaston. - Chambers

In the time of Shakespeare, and, in
deed, for a century or two before his
day, it appears that the term ale was
Synonymous with festival; and hence its
occurrence in such phrases as Leet- ale,
Whitson ale, Bride-ale, ETC., numerous
references to which we meet with in the
literature of that period. Thus Chaucer
uses 1t in this sense; and Ben Jonson,
in his "Masque of Queens, makes one
of the hays say: "a piper it got at
church ale" Shakespeare also employs
the expression in "Pericles:n
