Religion and Labor Troubles.

1t is very natural that Bishop Henry G.
Potter, of the Episcopal church in New
York, should look upon the present labor
troubles through religious spectacles, and
there will possibly be some who will
allow their lips to curl Into a
sneer at the suggestion OF a religious
salve for the disease. Yet few will attempt
to controvert this feeling language of the
distinguished churchman: ave may cover
the pages of our statute books with laws

pears that she Is a CircassiaIl, and was
brought up in the harem OF Omar Pasha
generalissimo OF the Turkish forces. \. NJ.
Schneider, who furnishes her history, states
that about the time Of tho Crimean war she
was taken into his fathers family under
dramatic circumstances. Both his father and
mother were returning from an excursion
to the Sweet Waters OF Asia, and as they
we're crossing the Bosphorus their vessel was
struck by another. A nurse, who was car
rying their infant daughter Louise, became
so frightened that she jumped overheard
with The child. She was saved, but the
child was drowned. Nine. Schneider
was in a weak state of health at the time,
and her friends feared to show her
the body OF her dead child which had
been recovered from the sea. AS they ap-
preached the shores Of Europe they saw
Omar Pasha, who was a friend OF the family,
and to whom the sad state OF affairs was OK
planned. He Immediately caused a little Cir
cassian child, who resembled the dead infant
IN lace and form, to be given to the sick
mother, who was not made aware of the
change until many years aiterward. The
substituted girl was a frequent source of an
noyanco To her adopted parents as she grew
up, and became at last utterly unmanage
