of Trades and Labor Unions
Louisville Courier-Journal.
A confidential circular to the various labor
unions of the country which is of great impor
lance to both workingmen and employers, has re-
Gently been issued by Secretary Foster, of the
Federation of Organized Trades and Labor
Unions. 1t treats of the eight-hour law, and is
the first systematic attempt to have it put into
effect Mr.. Foster asks that all subordinate
unions report to him whether not they have
resolved to put the law into effect together with
full information as to any steps which may have
been taken previously, membership and inan-
cial strength, and other details of value. The
legislative committee has set May l, 1856, as the
date of making organized effort to put the law
in force, but advises workngmen to endeavor to
secure the consent and Co operation of their en-
ployers beforehand. To this end the committee
advises that the workingmen try to get their sig
natures to some such agreement as the following:

gpeciai to the indianapolis Journal.
RocKPoRT Jan. 3L-About midnight last
night Deputy Sheriff Burkhardt and posse
rested Joe Cissua for the murder of Stephen
Ellis, but he soon proved his innocence, fasten-
ing the crime upon Nicholas Hudson, a farmer
living eight miles from here on the Boonvile
road Upon receiving this information deputy
and posse went at once to capture Hudson.
About o'clock this morning he was found at
the farm of Alex. Dickey for whom be was
working. The house was surrounded, and, after
waking the owner and securing admttance,
Sheriff Burkhardt went to the room of Hudson
and found him lying in bed. sound asleep On a
table at the head of the bed lay c8calibre re-
yolver and small axe. In the pocket of his
coat were found forty cartridges and pair of
brass knucks. At first Hudson strenuously de-
MED all knowledge of the deed, but finally, under
pressure. confessed the shooting.
The story, as told by Cissna. is to the effect
that several men were in saloon just outside
the city, drinking. and Ellis and Hudson became
involved in quarrel, but it was at first not oup
posed to be serious. as no blows were excha ged
AS the conversation grew warmer, Hudson drew
pistol and shot at Ellis, the ball striking in the
right breast and passing entirely through the
body. Hudson was lodged in jail and will have
q preliminary trial tomorrow. He is rough
looking. and has an unsavory reputation He is
twenty-three years of age The revolver was
purchased yesterday morning, and, after show
ing it to several parties during the day, he re-
marked that he would use it before night. Early
In the evening he drew 1t on saloon-keeper in
town, but was quieted down. Ellis was a peace
able and quiet citizen, and had only been mar
ried two months. The citizens here are greatly
excited over the affair, as it was undoubtedly
cold-blooded and deliberate and speculation was
rife on the streets to-day and to-night as to tie
advisability of melting out summary vengeance
upon him Hudson takes the matter cooly and
said this morning that he expected to get about
two years for it.

Extent and Velocity Of Storms.

Prof. E. LOOMS finds that in the
United States low pressure area,
with only one system of cyclonic
winds, frequently has a diameter of
1000 miles, and that cyclones over the
Atlantic frequently have d:ameters of
1000 miles. Widespread areas of low
barometer, having several centres Of
cyclonic action, may have diameter
of 5000 miles or may even form belt
extending nearly, if not entirely.
round the globe between parallels Of
40 and 50 degrees north latitude.
On the other hand tropical cyclones
are often only 500 miles, or even
less, in diameter. In the United
States, the Signal Service records for
thirteen years show that the average
rate of progress of storms for the year
is 2S.4 miles per hour, rising to the
maximum, 34.2 miles, in February
and falling to the minimum, 22 &
miles, in August In Europe storms
travel much more slowly, the mean
rate Of progress during the five years
ending 1880 being 1GT miles, reach
ing the maximum of 10 miles in Oct.
ODER, and falling to the minimum Of
IA miles in August.

A FROZEN MAIN.
That Is the Consequence OF the Recent
Unnecessary Prosecution Of the Wa
ter Company.

f Unnecessary Prosecution Of the Wa
ter Company.
The water main on Main street,
near Croy, is frozen, and during the
past two or three DAYS workmen have
been engaged in digging UP the
ground in order to thaw out the pipe.
AS the ground is frozen solid, this is
very slow and expensive work. Ia
the meantime the customers in this
end of town are, Of course, without
their usual supply. This should be
borne in mind by the firemen who, in
case Of a fire this side of Bullion
street, should tap the hydrant a,
French's corner.
This mishap is due entirely to the
prosecution initiated recently against
the Water Company by Road Super
visor Mccormick. In order to give
no ground for further complaint, the
stream kept running INTO the stump tc
prevent the main from freezing was
shut off, with the result foreseen by
all conversant with the matter.
Now that the company has been
put to much unnecessary expense land
that much property has been jeopar
died unnecessarily, it is to be hoped
that this senseless prosecution will not
be repeated.

to surprise his friends on their return
in the morning, for he was sure they
would be back by that time.
With the dawn of the new day
Philip arose. and. losing no time,
helped himself to solitary breakfast
in the pantry. Then he roamed about
the premises, on the lookout for the
appearance of friendly faces. Butvain
was the watch, and he went down
town again. looking in every direction
for human being. The river
sparkled joyously in the morning sun
light. but not a boat mOved\ along be-
tween its banks. Silence reigned
everywhere. Philip wandered bewil-
dered through deserted warehouses,
and up and down street after street.
At length, almost ready to cry with
loneliness. he went after old Prince,
and. throwing his arms about the
creatures neck, exclaimed: well
start for home, old fellow. and won't
we be glad to see the folks"
How utterly desolate the city seemed
rs he drove along! Nowhere any
sound or sight of earnest, happy life;
no children playing in the streets, no
scholars with their satchels of books,
no busy tradesmen running to and fro.
Home-oh, how good it looked to
lonely Philip! But what did this mean?
Beth was not there to scold and love
him; ROg and Joe were not there to
hear all about his adventures, and,
worst of all, mother was not there to
greet her boy Home was empty!
Poor Philip! He was all alone in the
world All its riches and beauties and
pleasures were his own, to be sure.
There was no one with whom he must
share his good times, no one tnat he
must give up to now. But, after all,
without Beth and the boys to share
them. really what was the good of pos
ressing all things? he asked himself.
and what should he do without any one
to love him? Yes. he had his wish;
but he had began to realize what it
was to be "alone, alone, all, all
alone" and it seemed to him that the
terrible loneliness would utterly crush
him.
Mother, u mother" he cried, in ag-
ony: and, thrusting out his arms, he
awoke to find himself where he lay
down an hour before, and near by were
Roger and Joe, who had been search
ing for him.
Philip sprang to meet them with .
gladncss that they could not under
stand; and when Beth came home from
the city, he kissed her so vigorously
that she exclaimed: whats happened
to you. Philip? You seem quite diff
ferent boy"
..Oh, I've found out it's incest not to
have every thing the way l want it, and
I'm not going so be selfish any more,
Beth!' he replied.
When Philip told his mother about
his dream, and how dreadful it had
seemed to him to be all alone, even
with every thing his own. she said. kiss
ing him fondly: Remember, dear boy,
you can be lonely even though sur
rounded by all your friends. No life
is so lonely as selfish life, no heart
so forlorn as the one that does not
know how to share another's Joys and
sOrrows. | think your dream will help
YOU to remember that no one who

The Paper Tree Of Tonkin.

The principal material used in the
manufacture of paper used in Tonkin
is the paper tree, which grows in abun-
lance on the mountains in the environs
Of Sontay. The dried bark is macer-
ated and then rubbed up in mortars,
so as to reduce it to a fine pulp. the
latter being extended with certain
quantity of water. in order to form a
clear paste which is sized with an infu-
sion made from the shavings of the
gomao tree. The paper is manufact-
ured sheet by sheet, by means of deli.
cate bamboo screens. which the opera
tors alternately dip into the paste and
take out Herewith thin sheet OF
paper, which is deposited upon board.
At the end of the day these sheets are
put into press in order to extract the
moisture from them, and are then dried
by placing them. one by one. upon a
hot masonry wall. after which they are
put up in packages and trimmed. Each
operative makes a thousand sheets a
day The thickness of the paper de.
pends on the consistency of the paste,
and at one establishment as many al
$4,000 sheets are capable of being pro-
duced daily.-N. Y. Sun.
